A Call That Changed Her Entire Life novel Chapter 1457

"Thank you for that wonderful address, Mr. Xu," the host concluded with a smile. The crowd gave another round of applause.

After a few seconds, Darren gently waved his hand to the crowd as a signal for them to stop. Then, he announced in a low, deep voice, "Well, that concludes today's meeting. I would like to ask the manager of the sales department to stay for a bit. However, the rest of you are free to go. Have a great weekend, everybody! I hope to see you all refreshed on Monday!"

Slowly, the people inside the meeting room started to leave one by one. After a few minutes, only Darren, Harlan, and the manager of the sales department were left alone inside the spacious meeting room.

Staring at the manager in front of him, Darren said softly, "According to today's report, our sales are doing exceptionally well. We have surpassed several old companies. Our dealers are continuously growing." He gave the manager an expectant look. "Have you prepared a new sales strategy already?"

"Yes, sir, it is ready." The manager nodded obediently and took out a notebook. He opened it, pointed at a road map diagram, and started to give his analysis. "According to our current sales trend, no company can defeat us for a while. However, our success won't last very long. According to the trend of the Sunshine Group's stock, it's only a matter of time until their market value increases enough to rival ours. Their value is currently stable and most of their business focuses on the industrial field."

"Okay, and..." Darren nodded at the manager, urging him to continue.

"The old food companies must surely feel threatened by us right now. They will definitely make some changes to their products to keep up with ours. If we sit still and do nothing, we will be easily beaten by them."

As he listened to the manager's thorough analysis, Darren nodded slightly and gently tapped his fingers on the table.

There were no inconsistencies in the manager's analysis. He was right. Currently, the KING Group did have the upper hand compared to their competitors, but they could be easily taken down if they weren't careful. If the KING Group could replace the products of other companies in the hearts of the consumers, other companies would be able to do it as well.

Moreover, if their products lacked innovation, then their customers would get bored with them sooner or later. Most people were fascinated by new things. If they weren't, then the new snacks of the KING Group wouldn't have gained so much attention in so little time. It was all because of the novel packaging and the delicious taste of the products. This was how they had beaten the traditional products and dominated the market.

However, if the KING Group wanted to remain relevant in the industry, then they would constantly need to produce innovative products made with high-quality raw materials. The most important thing for their company was to have enough strength to get through anything.

After all, as a new company in the food industry, it would be difficult for them to monopolize the food industry in the near future.

"Mr. Xu, what are your thoughts?"

Upon hearing the manager's question, Darren was quick to come back to his senses. He narrowed his eyes and told the manager, "You can go back first and create a new sales strategy. I will call you at any time. Remember, what we talked about today is still a secret to everyone else. If you share it with anyone, then that means that you're leaking confidential information. Do you understand?"

"Yes, sir, I understand." The sales department manager nodded with a nervous gulp. He then grabbed his laptop and walked out. On the way out, he couldn't help but feel quite shocked. Nobody had really liked Darren before, and they had all been unhappy after finding out that he was taking over the company. However, the manager was pretty impressed by how well Darren had been able to lead the group and develop the company.

How brave must one have to be to have such an idea?

Genius! What a mad genius he was!

After the manager left the meeting room, Harlan stood up and made another cup of coffee for Darren.

A frown appeared on Darren's face as he took a sip of the coffee. He suddenly felt like there was something that he hadn't prepared for. If Jacob tried to step into the food industry, it could be dangerous for the future of Darren's company. After all, the influence and strength of the HT Group were massive. If Jacob decided to intervene, then the KING Group could be overshadowed.
