1076 A Real Talent
"You cannot let Spirit continue to grow. Use whatever method you can!"
"Understood, Boss! Just wait and see! They are still too young to go against me!" The man looked confident.
Krystal's expression softened when she saw the man's determination. This man was the previous marketing director of SF, a well-known market manipulator in the industry. He helped SF destroy countless competitors, so it was worth the fortune she had spent to get him on her side...
As for her, she had something more important going on.
It was confirmed that the elder was going to write his will!
...
In just a few days, the news of the cousin to the CEO of Manoban Corporation, Minnie's new store opening spread like wildfire.
Many people came to support her. In addition to the strategic location of her store, her sales remained the highest among all the stores for the first few days.
Jennie was relieved when she saw Minnie doing well.
Unfortunately, the situation did not last long...
Inside Spirit Studio, Jennie held the sales report of Minnie's store in her hands. She lay her head on the table of So-Hee's office in exhaustion. "I was wrong...I was really wrong this time.."
Aside from the spike in sales in the start, the sales of Minnie's franchise store had dropped steeply and the loss incurred was extremely severe.
"Seriously, with the support of so many people, a strategic location, and sufficient backup...she could still lose this much money... A real talent indeed! How does she even do that?" Jennie sighed.
Actually, So-Hee had somewhat expected this to happen.
She had gone through Minnie's proposal personally and found the plan was pretty solid, but a business was run by people. With Minnie as the boss, her decision would affect everything and if her execution went astray of her plan, the proposal would be meaningless.
With this much loss incurred, Minnie did not tell Jennie about it and planned to tough it out, but numbers could not lie. So-Hee could identify the problem at one glance.
She quickly called Jennie over for a discussion the moment she realized something was wrong.
"I've gone over and investigated how she was doing before. Historically, she would just lose more and more. She's just not a business-minded person," So-Hee explained, "Not only could she not differentiate between peak season and normal season, to boost her sales numbers, she also had promotions almost every week. Although it looked like they attracted a lot of customers, as time went on, a high-end brand turned into cheap. After the event ended, how could she expect to sell them at the prices of a high-end brand again?"
Jennie looked helpless. She finally believed that that girl was really an amateur. In regard to Minnie's loss, Jennie sort of expected it, but she just did not expect it to be this severe.
"If this goes on, it'll definitely negatively influence to Spirit as well as the other stores," So-Hee said.
Jennie pinched the bridge of her nose. " Director Han, you're still tied up with the business expansion project. I'll go and discuss it with Minnie personally!"
So-Hee nodded without any objection.
She was not afraid for Minnie to make mistakes; she was afraid that Minnie would not realize her own mistake and continue to make them. Judging by the conversation Jennie had with her the last time, they should be pretty close, so it would be great if they could talk this out.
