Chapter 97 Results Speak Louder Than Words
Hearing Julian’s question, some people thought that Julian Parks wanted to say that Parks Group’s main product was not clothing. Therefore, even if the attempt failed, the loss would not be big.
Someone immediately said, “President Julian. Perhaps the economic loss would not be big, but the impact on the brand is intangible.”
Julian said with a slightly stern tone, “Let me ask you, what is our Parks Group’s main product?”
The person immediately said, “Phones and computers, of course.”
Julian said softly, “Then tell me this, are our phones and computers high-end or low-end products? Are the users targeted at the middle and upper classes or the low-income group?”
The man replied, “We’re targeting all classes.” Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Julian said, “Ergo, don’t you guys understand? As long as our market positioning is accurate and we come up with different series of products, we can occupy all the markets. Just like our phones, we can make low-priced Mini series, mid-priced Plus, and high-end series.
“The same goes for clothing. As long as we make different collections, you can tell at a glance which are high-end and which are low-end. Not only will those high-class customers not reject our products, but they’ll even buy more of our products to display their superiority.”
The crowd applauded.
It was Samuel who started it.
He did not speak throughout, just watched Julian communicate with everyone. He saw Julian’s confidence and calmness, his domineeringness and decisiveness, and his wisdom and strategy.
“He’s really grown up now! He finally matured, I’m sure he’ll manage Parks Group well.” Samuel thought. As soon as Samuel clapped, Cassandra and the two shareholders who supported Julian also quickly applauded.
Many others could not understand Julian’s intentions and felt that they would lose high-end customers if they entered the low-end clothing market, so they were always against it. After Julian used phones as an example, they immediately understood and believed in Julian’s idea.
Timothy and his grandfather exchanged looks, they both look dissatisfied.
However, they had no choice but to clap along.
Albert said, “Julian, we’ll support your decision for the time being. I hope you won’t disappoint us. You have to remember at all times that you’re not an independent person anymore, you’re now the leader of the Parks Group. You can’t fall. If you do, all of us will drown.”
“Albert, you’re overthinking! Everyone, don’t worry and follow me. I won’t disappoint you!” Julian boosted their morale.
“Yeah!” Someone cheered in support of Julian.
Albert added, “We’re only supporting your decision temporarily. The results will speak for themselves in the end.”
“Of course!” Julian playfully glanced at Albert.
It was just a simple look, but Albert felt that Julian was mocking him. It was as if Julian was saying his grandson Timothy was simply incapable. He was furious again.
Next was Alexander and Timothy’s speeches.
Alexander politely invited Timothy to speak first, saying the younger one should speak first.
Timothy politely thanked him before starting his speech.
Julian was currently the deputy president of Parks Group.
Timothy and Alexander worked were managers of different branches under Parks Group.
The branch company adopted an independent accounting model and reported its financial performance at the end of every fiscal year.
if their performance soared every year, in addition to being rewarded by the head office, they would also have more resources and decision-making power.
Of course, Timothy and Alexander wanted more than just the resources and decision-making power of the head office. They wanted the Parks Group president position.
After all, although Julian had been in charge of Parks Group for more than two years, he was only the deputy president. This meant that they all had the same opportunity to compete for the president position.
Timothy could be considered capable. He managed to hire 13 famous fashion designers from overseas. The main content of his speech was that the fashion market was equivalent to the women’s and children’s markets. Therefore, his idea was to focus on women’s and children’s clothing.
It also received the approval of some people.
When it was Alexander’s turn, he introduced his idea politely, “This is my wife, Abigail Barton. In addition to being a doctor, she’s also a fashion designer. Her family business focuses on clothes and
pharmaceutical products. Most of the clothes in the family business are personally designed by her.”
“Wow, appearance sure is deceiving, she doesn’t look like such a strong woman.”
“Young and already accomplished! She’s quite compatible with Mr. Alexander.”
“Not bad!”
Everyone looked forward to Abigail’s speech.
Abigail stood up with a gentle smile on her face and bowed politely to everyone. Then, she connected to the projector and walked to the big screen with a laser pointer, showing everyone her elegance.
She talked about clothing and focused on the female market as well. Her key focus was not to segregate their products by income level, but by age and women’s aesthetics.
She spoke very well and won the applause of the entire room.
An executive commented, “I’ve learned something today. Indeed, be it the market or the products, we really need to brainstorm together. This way, it’s easier to broaden our horizons and structure.”
Finally, Samuel said, “The three of you all have very good ideas. Julian idea is to design clothes suitable for all classes in different series. Timothy’s idea is mainly aimed at the women’s and children’s markets. Alexander’s idea is to design products according to age.
“You’ve all said well. I hope that you’ll all launch outstanding products according to your own ideals during the showcase this afternoon.
“This afternoon’s showcase is a great opportunity for advertising and publicity. From now on, you’re in the performance appraisal phase.
“As the old saying went, results speak louder than words, and it’s time to speak with your results.
“Everyone, it’s autumn now, so Julian’s term as the deputy president will end in two quarters.
“At that time, if Parks Group’s performance continues to rise from last year, he will officially become the president, the true leader of Parks Group. At that time, 37% of my shares will be transferred to him.
“Alexander and Timothy are now the general managers of the subsidiary companies under Parks Group. If the profits of the subsidiary companies surpass Julian after this fashion showcase event, according to the agreement, they can enter the head office as vice presidents!”
“Chairman’s the wisest! Parks Group shall thrive!”
Everyone praised Samuel.
“Yeah Grandpa!”
“Yeah Big Grandpa!”
No matter how dissatisfied Alexander and Timothy were, they could only praise him.
Timothy felt slightly better compared to Alexander. He knew that he was from the side family and he did not really have the right to want to snatch the position of the president.
Alexander, however, felt he was being treated extremely unfairly. He was also his father’s biological son, Samuel’s biological grandson, the same as Julian. Why was it that Julian could be the president but he could only be the vice president even if his branch’s performance exceeded Julian’s?
“Forget it, I’ll do it step by step!” Alexander thought.
Even if Julian became the president, it did not mean that would last forever.
Moreover, since Julian could only be the president if the company’s sales continued to soar, what if his plan failed and the sales plummeted?
With this thought in mind, Alexander felt much better.
