Jennie found out that after she left, the Marketing Director of History, Qin Zifan, had quickly gone to talk to Kuan.
After he dropped by, Kuan decisively gave up on franchising Spirit and chose History; one did not have to guess much about what happened.
As she was leaving New Era mall, Jennie gave Gayoung a call and asked her to go over to Qingdao immediately.
The Marketing Director of History seemed to be very experienced. In such a situation, she could only rely on Gayoung!
Let's hope she has a solution...
In the afternoon, Gayoung rushed to Qingdao and stayed in the same hotel as Jennie.
In the video call before, Jennie had already told Gayoung about the situation, but she repeated it again after they met each other.
"Give up on New Era," Gayoung voiced her thoughts straightforwardly.
"Give up? My ace...are you sure?" Jennie felt skeptical. Was this something Gayoung would say?
"That's right," she replied, "The Marketing Director of History came here fully prepared. He wanted to wage a war of pricing. If we deal with him, we won't be able to win. In fact, we'd lose even if we get the deal."
"What do you mean, Director Ga?" Momo was a little confused.
"It's simple. History wanted a price war, so they gave New Era the lowest price possible, which means that History wouldn't be earning. If we're going to get the deal back, we can only offer a lower price, which is bad for Spirit. It might even affect our product's quality. It's not necessary to go that far just for New Era," Gayoung explained.
"Director Ga, do you mean that if we were to get the deal back, we'd be hurting ourselves, and History would stop giving their sweeter deal as they would have achieved their goal? If we don't try, New Era would be go to History anyway. Although they will have very little profit, it's still good promotion for History's brand," Jennie said.
"That's right." Gayoung nodded and Jennie understood the situation perfectly.
Jennie was shocked. Who exactly was the Marketing Director of History? He had just created a sure-win scenario for himself!
If Spirit wanted to get New Era back, then they would have to pay a price. On the other hand, if Spirit did not do anything, it would benefit History. Regardless of whether they snatched the deal back or not, Spirit would still lose either way!
Spirit was now stuck in an awkward position. Neither moving forward nor backward was good.
"So, we've lost?" Jennie felt a little frustrated as their first cross-state deal was snatched by History.
"Lose? The game has just begun." Gayoung's cold face lit up when she talked about a topic involving her area of expertise.
"Ah? But, Director Ga, you just said that no matter what we do, we'll lose, so what should we do?" Momo was confused.
Not just Momo, even Jennie could not tell what Gayoung was thinking about.
"Besides New Era, we have another suitable choice. It's New Era's opponent, Allstar," Gayoung replied.
"Allstar mall..."
Jennie thought about it when she heard Gayoung mentioned Allstar.
"In these last few years, while New Era was performing better than Allstar in overall, it did not mean that Allstar was doing poorly. Instead, Allstar was really capable, especially its luxury franchise retail stores. Allstar performed well in this area and the customer flows are consistent," she elaborated.
"So, Director Ga, you're saying that we should go to Allstar instead?" Jennie somewhat understood her intentions
