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 nchard, 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 vor, 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 Grasbined with world-famous piano pieces. It''s the bestbo!"


    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 ce is also nice! So you both can go to whichever you like, okay?"


    "Alicia?"


    "Miss nchard?"


    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 bigpanies! 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 be 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 toe see me now!"


    Almost immediately, a knock sounded from the door.N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    "Enter!"


    "Frederick, you were looking for me?"


    Frederick nced 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 identally paid an extra 1 million dor deposit when he signed it, the coteral 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 vite 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 ufortable 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 hismand, at night, her body was his to use to his pleasure. He didn''t believe that she could pull any tricks!


    "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 arge foreign Company


    abroad for cooperationa


    I


    that


    thepany mainly produces parts for otherpanies. In addition, a circuit board produced by the Pitcher Group will bergely used by thispany inrge numbers! Once they strike a sessful deal, this may lead to Pitcher supplying them for ages toe, 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 sessful, many otherpanies dealing with the rted 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 shoring 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 dors, but the selling price is at


    least 5,000 dors. 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 sessful, many smallpanies that don''t have a development department will easily rise up and be 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 w, which was that the finished product would top theirpany''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! Manyrgepanies were forced to shut down due topetition 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 thesepanies, 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 de 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 electricalponents, find someone to send a few special modifications to him! Then choose a small workshop using the same circuit board, and when there are someints 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 epted 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 be 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!"
