Chapter 308
Before reaching the elevator door, Alicia was stopped by a smug- looking man. She recognized the man, who reeked of strong cologne. He was dubbed the eye candy of the International Department next door, Rylee. As if the name wasn't feminine enough, his clear pale skin somewhat added to his feminine outlook. Despite only meeting once, he would always show up and try to talk to her.
"Alicia, are you free? There's a new restaurant on Abbeys Street. The sashimi is all delivered from abroad on the same day! Let's try it together this evening!"
Just as Alicia was about to say that she didn't eat raw food, another male voice interrupted,
"It's full of parasites, aren't you afraid of getting sick eating it? Miss Blanchard, I know a fine-dining restaurant where the chefs are from abroad and serve the best pan-fried Foie Gras. They are rated five-star, and there are piano performances included for the dinner. Would you spare me your evening?"
This time, the voice belonged to Joel from the sales department. The previous morning, they had both given her a gift each after meeting her. She wasn't expecting to bump into them again.
"What are you saying? Do you think no one else has been there? You're paying mint for dog food! Even the atmosphere is sh*t, the piano pieces dedicated to Alicia are even worse, it makes me sick even listening to it! Sashimi is obviously superior, with its original flavor, texture, and its health benefits!"
"If you don't know how to savor it, you better shut up! Its authentic cuisine, red wine with Foie Gras combined with world-famous piano pieces. It's the best combo!"
Before Alicia could even speak, the two of them had argued so hard that their faces turned red! Unable to even get a word in sideways, Alicia couldn't help rolling her eyes.
"Alright! The Foie Gras restaurant is lovely and the sashimi place is also nice! So you both can go to whichever you like, okay?"
"Alicia?"
"Miss Blanchard?"
The two of them spoke at the same time, and simultaneously stopped talking. Their eyes were locked on each other, staring daggers into the other. Raising her hand, Alicia then proceeded to refuse both of them with a smile, "Sorry, I can't eat raw food, and I'm allergic to goose liver! But thank you both for your offers!"
At that moment, the elevator doors opened, and Alicia took a few swift steps straight into it.
The moment the doors closed, she heaved a sigh of relief. Only after joining Soaver International did she realize how huge the gap was between the prey and predator ratio of the big companies! Had these men never seen a woman in their entire life?
Meanwhile, in the president's office, Frederick put down the phone and stared dumbfounded into the distance.
Ever since he arranged for her to be by his side, this had become the norm. The girl who used to always sweetly said she missed him now could not be bothered to even be nice to him!
"It's been so long, and we're still fighting! It seems that I have to find a way to show that I'm sorry!"
Shaking his head, Frederick smiled as a thought crept across his mind. Turning, he picked up another phone and punched a number in, "Get Chet to come see me now!"
Almost immediately, a knock sounded from the door.
"Enter!"
"Frederick, you were looking for me?"
Frederick glanced at the door, Chet quickly understood and turned to closed the door.
"How is Jeremy's progress? Has the advertising of the bus been revoked? Did Trevor mention anything?"
"The advertisement for the bus was
for three months, probably to
prevent this. When Jeremy accidentally paid an extra 1 million dollar deposit when he signed it, the collateral damage fee increased by tenfold. So the Master Trevor's suggestion was that if the effect was not too life risking, we shouldn't do anything. Otherwise, the result would be different. If we violate the contract now, it would be a waste of money for him. In other words, even if we withdrew the advertisement for the bus stops, we still can put advertisements on televisions, shopping malls, and even if that fails we can still do street
advertisements. We still have lots of
options-"
Money made the world go round. There were always people who were not afraid of death, and always undetected loopholes.
Tapping his fingers
lightly, Frederick pondered. He felt uncomfortable knowing that if he argued, he would definitely lose the fight.
If he wanted to show his love, let him try! Anyway, in the day she was under his command, at night, her body was his to use to his pleasure. He didn't believe that she could pull any tricks!NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
"How about the Pitcher Group then?"
"Jeremy is a mature and steady person. Pitcher group's technology has been developing very well in recent years. Their electronics, reputation, and sales are all good. I discovered that they are negotiating with a large foreign Company
abroad for cooperationa
I
that
the company mainly produces parts for other companies. In addition, a circuit board produced by the Pitcher Group will be largely used by this company in large numbers! Once they strike a successful deal, this may lead to Pitcher supplying them for ages to come, making it very profitable for the Pitcher Group in the future."
"And the main control switch that they are going to create is reserved for the independent interface and the outside application. Once the production is successful, many other companies dealing with the related software can directly modify it and adapt it for use in their own chipset. As long as you write a supporting software program, it can be used in their products. It is equivalent to the seven-channel motherboard our Company's general products use, but our shortcoming is that our motherboard can only be used in our own products and not sold to the public, and he seems only interested in mass-producing and selling it! The cost of mass production is lesser than a thousand dollars, but the selling price is at
least 5,000 dollars. It will definitely be a huge profit!"
Tapping his fingers lightly, Frederick's brows furrowed:
"If the production and implementation of his circuit board are successful, many small companies that don't have a development department will easily rise up and become famous, the possibilities are endless! In the future, many people will rely on him! Although ants are small, together they can move
mountains!"
"I refuse to let him suceed!"
Although this idea was good, it also had a flaw, which was that the finished product would top their company's finished product. Once all the products were in full bloom, the small workshops would lower their prices because of the difference in manpower, factories, and all other expenditures.
In this world, there were a lot of people who are greedy for small profits! Many large companies were forced to shut down due to competition by cheaper imitations. And him, well he was definitely feeding these cheap imitators.
Companies that are powerful and well established would definitely have their own strategies and their very own research and development department, and would definitely not buy from him. that way, only he could sell to these companies, but aside from them, he must sell them at a lower sales level.
Frederick pondered as he tapped his fingers. This was a double-edged blade strategy. He might make a lot of money, but if he was not careful, he would be digging his own grave!
Frederick narrowed his eyes, and said,
"This business in Casterwich City can be named after anything but Pitcher! Since it's a circuit board, there are electrical components, find someone to send a few special modifications to him! Then choose a small workshop using the same circuit board, and when there are some complaints in the market, we'll amplify that noise! Killing a brand that hasn't even been well known yet... This I needn't teach you, do I?
Nodding, Chet said, "Given enough rumours, this shall be accepted as truth!"
As long as they don't pass the quality test, their reputation will be already ruined at the beginning. Then, no matter how good they become in the future, regaining their reputation would be as difficult as fish reaching for the skies!
Frederick nodded with a smile and thought, "If I don't rub in on his good luck, I will really be underestimating this man."
"By the way, I need your help with something!"
