Our Glamorous Time( A Vsoo adaptation novel by Ding Mo)

Chapter 68(Some Were Happy)

Sehun started to fret internally. He had been careless.

Just then, the other foreigners started to discuss fervently. They hailed from different countries and were speaking in English with a variety of accents which made it so noisy that Sehun’s head ached a little.

“Hi, everyone.” His smile was not genuine as he cut them off, “Can I explain?”

They all quieted down.

Sehun smiled as he said, “This batch indeed has some problem with its quality, so we are not prepared to sell it on the frontline markets. Rather, we are planning to drop the prices and place it up for sale in the less developed markets...”

He had not completed his words but Charles had already begun to shake his head once again, “Ben! How can you think like that? Good quality has been the prioritized goal of DG since our founding. Even product lines that are low priced should maintain a certain standard. This won’t do, I disagree.”

Sehun tried to bear with it and continue maintaining his smile while saying, “Charles, can you finish hearing me out?”

Charles looked at him with his eyes wide.

Sehun said, “When we first collaborated, the reason why you were interested in SMQ was because in one sense, we have the widest and most evenly distributed online stores in korea. We are also korea’s most influential enterprise. Before Layover and New Bori had even set foot into the more undeveloped cities, and even the countryside, we already had export agents. This is very crucial for DG to become number one in Korea’s market in the future.

“On the other hand, because we are a local enterprise, we have a better understanding of korea’s national sentiments. Korea is different from America and Australia. Our society’s development is extremely unbalanced. The rich areas have their own requirements and expectations; the poor areas have their own spending habits. Based on my experience, these products that you think are average in quality will have no problems at all selling in the more underdeveloped cities and states. They will even sell very well, bringing in abundant profit. And this will not hinder our sales of our mid-tiered to high-end products that is simultaneously ongoing.”

He said it like a serious vow but the external investors that were headed by Charles all still had their eyebrows furrowed.

“Oh, no, Ben!” Charles said, “You are speaking with a lot of sense, but these products go against the aim that DG has pursued for hundreds of years. If such products are sold under DG’s name, we simply have no way of explaining to our headquarters in America, and it will also seriously damage the image of our company. Hence, we feel that this batch of products should be removed from the market immediately. We absolutely cannot give up on our principles just for a moment of profit. This issue has no room for discussion, please...” He said , “Settle it immediately.”

This was the first time since DG had taken the helm of SMQ that the two parties had to settle such a big difference in opinion about management methods.

Of course, such a situation arose many times afterwards. This was the pain that almost every local enterprise had to face after “selling themselves” to foreign investors.

And now, Sehun could feel this pain deeply.

In front of him, a few foreigners were still whispering to one another, discussing in low voices and even glancing at him directly with disapproving looks. Sometimes, foreigners just didn’t know how to carry themselves, and were so stupid that he felt like vomiting blood.

Meanwhile, the few Korean subordinates behind him were all silent because their boss had been embarrassed and they were also afraid to make any sound.

Sehun smiled after a moment of silence, “Alright, I agree with this point of view. I will get someone to settle it immediately.” Heard the commitment, Charles immediately had a smile on his face and happily kneaded Sehun’s shoulder.
