Mike stopped Taylor before he could make the call, saying. There’s no rush. You can talk about this whenever you want
With a selfless look on his face, Mike added, “Whenever you need any product testing reports, just let me know. III take care of it for you.
Health supplements, whether imported or domestic, always require test reports, and consumers have the right to access these reports to understand the quality and safety of the products
Unfortunately, very few companies actually provide this transparency.
But Mike, with his connections, could easily get detailed test reports. It was a simple matter for him.
If he could score some more free snacks in the process, he’d be the happiest person at the entire research institute.
Taylor didn’t notice the meaning behind Mike’s words, as he was still comparing the two test reports.
Earlier, Mike mentioned that this product could be sold for 2,500 dollars a bottle, which was a bit beyond Taylor’s comprehension.
It seemed like Mike had read Taylor’s thoughts because he chuckled and added, “There are plenty of products that cost even more. A wide variety of them.”
Mike, being married with a daughter, was more familiar with such things
After Mike’s explanation, Taylor began to understand the industry a bit better.
He thought to himself, this industry could actually be quite promising–it seemed to have great potential for growth.
In the past, he had never paid attention to these matters and was only interested in the numbers on the data sheets.
But because his little apprentice’s family was in business, he had unknowingly started thinking about these things from their perspective.
Taylor made a note to himself to call the Holmes family once Mike left and mention this idea.
By noon, the investigation team arrived.
The security at the institute called Taylor’s office line. Since Taylor wasn’t going out, Mike took the opportunity to leave with the test report.
When the team received the report, they couldn’t understand it. All they saw was the word “Qualified” stamped at the bottom, along with a private seal–Taylor’s.
The team sat in the car, staring at those two words, trying to analyze them.
“Taylor, what does this mean? Just these two words don’t explain anything. We don’t get it
“We came to ask him to help determine the value of these grapes. Why just ‘qualified?”
“Could it be that Taylor is saying the grapes are worth this price! Otherwise, these two words don’t make sense.”
Though they said this, no one really believed it.
A hundred thousand dollars for a bunch of grapes? That sounded absurd.
So, they turned their attention to their team leader, looking at him expectantly.

“Yehuda, why don’t you try contacting Taylor and ask him what these two words mean?”
After all, Taylor had been invited by Yehuda’s team.
Yehuda paused for a moment. Deep down, he already had an answer and didn’t need to ask further.
He instructed the driver, “We have the report now. We can go to other experts who can understand it. Let’s not bother Taylor”
“Alright. The team headed to the food safety inspection center, where they submitted the report.
Inside the office, two experts looked at the report, their brows furrowing deeper with each passing moment.
After a brief discussion, one of them lifted his head and asked, “What is this? A skincare product or a supplement?”
They saw the word “grape on the report, but they assumed it was a brand name, not real grapes.
Based on the values, they thought this was some kind of supplement made to resemble grapes, like a jelly.
The team was confused.
It was just grapes–why were the experts asking such a strange question?
Before anyone could respond, the experts started explaining their thoughts.
“You mentioned the price of 100 thousand dollars. We both think that’s justified. If we want to be thorough, I’ll show it to our colleagues, but they will likely approve it as well.”
Justified?! The team members who hadn’t witnessed such things were stunned, their voices shaky.
Justified?” One of them repeated in disbelief. “This is outrageous! Professors, are you sure about this?”
Despite the doubts, the experts remained calm and took the time to explain in detail.
“We’re not lying. The nutritional content here is unmatched by any supplement on the market. It’s reached the top of the industry pyramid.”
“We suspect this is a nutritional supplement for middle–aged women. It’s incredibly comprehensive because we’ve never encountered such an intense product before. So, at first, we were uncertain about its value. But after hearing about the 100 thousand dollar price, we agree that it is within a reasonable range.”
The experts frequently dealt with investigation teams, so they understood the process well. When they were told about a product with a suspiciously high price, they immediately suspected it was the one being investigated.
So, they gave their clear answer, confirming that the price was justified.
After
rgetting their agreement, one of the experts shared the report with their colleagues through a group chat, asking for opinions.
Most of the colleagues were quick to respond, with only a few who were busy working not looking at their phones.
The expert showed Yehuda the responses, and to his surprise, everyone agreed.
This had never happened before.
Typically, it was hard to get everyone’s opinion aligned
Some people from wealthier backgrounds thought money was harder to earn, so they were more stringent with product data, instantly dismissing any product that didn’t meet certain standards.

Others from wealthier backgrounds were a bit more lenient with prices.
So, this unanimous approval was quite rare.
The data exceeded the standards by a large margin–nothing could keep up.
After explaining, the experts noticed the team members were all staring blankly.
“What’s going on?” They usually saw angry faces when people found subpar products, but now no one seemed happy after confirming that this one was far above standard.
“This is a good thing. Why does everyone look so strange?” the expert couldn’t help but ask.
Finally, one of the team members spoke, looking conflicted. “Actually, it’s not a supplement, nor is it a product aimed at
women.
He hesitated before continuing, “It’s just an ordinary grape, growing on a vine. We saw it picked right off the tree and sent to the lab for testing.”
The experts were even more stunned. “Wait… true grapes?” They looked down at the paper again in disbelief.
“Then, if it’s grapes, does a bunch really cost 100 thousand dollars?”
One of the team members weakly asked, gesturing at the size of the grapes,
“They’re about this big, and there’s around 70 or 80 of them in a bunch, so purple and beautiful, like a piece of amethyst”
Upon hearing this, the experts‘ expressions were beyond words. “Even more valuable, actually
