Revenge is Best Served After Reborn (James)
Chapter 1247

Gordon leaned in, his tone serious. "You've been up in the clouds for too long; networking is crucial in running a business. Think of it like this: when you need supplies, you replace the right vendors. When you open a shop, you need muscle. No matter where you are, the local players often have more influence than the big outsiders. They might have smaller assets, but they can cause endless trouble for your rivals. This is the first lesson I want to teach you: leverage human connections and make the most of everyone at your disposal, even those who seem insignificant. They could be the key to your success." Sophie flipped through the documents in her hand.

Gordon tapped one of the papers. "Take the Johnson family. Their assets might just be in the millions, but they've weathered the storms in Devonport for fifty years, controlling half of the local resources. They started from scratch, becoming key suppliers in the catering and food industry. They know where to replace the cheapest goods and are aware of all the supply channels. By leveraging their network, they've remained unshaken in Devonport."

Hearing Gordon mention the Johnsons, Sophie's mind raced back to a past life where James had initiated a partnership with them. At the time, she had her doubts, but now that Gordon brought it up, she realized the Johnsons were not to be underestimated. Gordon turned to the next page. "Then we have the Green family, specialists in packaging design. Like the Johnsons, they run a small business that's been around in Devonport for three generations. They might seem unremarkable, but nowadays, they handle sixty percent of trendy online brands and national brands, and ninety percent of the classic brands. They may not have flashy offices, just a small space in an office building, but their years of collaboration with these brands have built them an impressive network."

As Sophie read on, many of the names were familiar from her past life.

But at the time, she hadn't seen their significance.

Among these people, many wouldn't typically enter their circles.

"So, Mr. Gordon, you're suggesting I get to know them?" Sophie asked.

Gordon replied, "You don't need to go out of your way. The Aldridge family has its own standing in Devonport and has done favors for them in the past. I just want you to familiarize yourself with these people. When the time comes, a simple phone call from you will make them understand."

"Mr. Gordon, you've laid out the path for me. It feels like I'm cheating before an exam," Sophie noted, flipping through the documents again.

Gordon chuckled, "That's exactly what I'm doing-helping you cheat." Hearing this, Sophie looked up and met Gordon's gaze.

Gordon said, "There's no absolute fairness in this world. Life is long, and everyone's starting point and the roughness of their road differ Although you must walk your own path, I have the ability to make your journey smoother."

Sophie couldn't help but smile. "Mr Gordon

Gordon leaned back in his chair, "Indeed, I am."

Knock, knock-

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

Gordon gave Sophie a look, and quickly placed the folder back desk.

Gordon was already reclining on the bed again.

Sophie walked to the door to open it.
