Chapter 1470


    Chapter 1470 “when I mentioned a stable customer base, I meant that most of their clients are


    regrs, and many of them have connections to Darcie or the Saun family," said Vermont.


    "If you want to profit in the world of jewelry and precious stones, you either cater to the high-end


    market, dealing with those willing to pay a premium price, or target the mass market.


    That''s where you find products made from discarded materials, skillfully polished to mimic the real


    thing.


    They''re affordable for the general public, allowing them to own a piece or two without breaking the


    bank.


    With high sales volume, you can still make a decent profit.


    “The Velvet focuses on the high-end market, and Darcie''s connections serve as her entry to that


    exclusive clientele.


    As for the mass market, Darcie thinks it might dilute the brand image, so she avoided it.


    They''ve already established a stable rtionship in their high-end market.


    If you take over, all Darcie has to do is ask, and your clients will turn away and run.


    You follow?" Ste grasped the situation.


    Darcie had, in essence, handed her a shop she could run independently.


    As long as Darcie did not meddle, the store would be under Ste''s control.


    She might even need to invest money herself, but the store was highly profitable on the surface, which


    kept Wenham from suspecting anything.


    '' This woman is exceptionally sharp!'' Ste had sessfully sidestepped one pitfall only to walk right


    into another.


    "But if I take over and the store doesn''t profit for a year or more, won''t Wenham think I''m incapable of


    running apany?" Ste questioned.


    "I don''t think so.


    But if word gets out about the poor performance, there will be grounds for doubting your capabilities no


    matter whichpany he entrusts to you in the future.


    That won''t bode well for your management position," Keegan exined.


    Felicity clenched her teeth.


    "That old fox is so sneaky! Why don''t you just tell your dad you can''t handle it and give it back to her?"


    "Do you think I''d have the face to return it after ying her like a fiddle?" Darcie had a n.


    Even if Ste returns the store, she will find another way to ruin her.


    “So what do we do?" Felicity frowned.


    ''Do we fake the ounts ourselves? Have Keegan be your middleman and move millions of dors of


    goods each month?" Keegan was shocked to hear her say that.

    Vermont knocked Felicity on the head.


    "Have you lost your mind? Why would we lose money on a business venture? Any expert can see


    through your n.


    It''ll only be more embarrassing if we get exposed." Felicity swatted away his hand.


    "I''m just worried about Ste." Keegan turned to Ste.


    "What''s your strategy?" Ste pondered for a moment.


    "First, I''ll take over the management rights.


    As for sales, let''s see what Darcie does.


    I''ll shift to the mass market if the high-end market is beyond my capacity.


    But I''d prefer to have a finger in both pies.


    Why not enjoy the best of both worlds?" Vermont chuckled.


    "That''s the spirit.


    Adaptability is key in business.


    Just go for it, Ste.


    Keegan''s path to afortable life is just around the corner." Ignoring Vermont''s jest, Keegan said,


    "For high-end market clients, recognizing quality is key.


    Building rtionships is a bonus.


    With some effort, you can certainly handle it.


    You''ll be better than Vermont for sure." Vermont raised an eyebrow.


    "ttering your partner by bringing me down, huh?" Keegan shot him a look.


    "Well, aren''t you one to talk? Your jewelry store relies on celebrities from yourpany to promote it


    and milk their fans for all they''re worth." Vermont did not seem ashamed.


    "So what if that''s true? It''s all part of the industry chain." The room service arrived shortly, and the


    group sat down to eat.


    Then, the residents of room 902 bid each other farewell.


    Keegan returned after disposing of the trash.


    He found Ste seated on the couch, rubbing her feet.


    He paused for a moment and went to the bathroom.


    When he returned, he carried a basin of water and ced it by the couch.


    "Put your feet in," he said.


    Ste nced at the water, then at Keegan, and suddenly burst intoughter.


    "You''re so dedicated, Mr.


    Kane."
