A Promising Youth novel Chapter 31

As soon as the words fell, there was instant laughter throughout the room!

Clara gave me a wink and said with a red face.

“Come on, stop that, okay? The company can't do this even if we don’t develop well?!”

“What's wrong with doing this? It's a necessity of life. Clara, what is wrong with you?”

Tilting my head up, I looked across the room and said.

“Had enough of laughing?!”

“Matteo, there's no need to compete, the Blue Butterfly Textile Factory hasn't fallen so low that we have to save even the fabric for making clothes! Come down, Mr. Marcel wins already.”

The second shareholder sat down on the stage and gloated.

I took a deep breath, looked at the second shareholder and said.

“You guys are still a bunch of trash.”

Hearing this, the second shareholder shot to his feet.

“Who are you calling trash?!”

I gritted my teeth and said.

“If I am right, once upon a time, the Blue Butterfly Textile Factory had been glorious because of Clara's mother, right? Once she had died, the company fell into ruin. Aren’t you shareholders trash? What have you done for the company? If you are competent, how did the company get to this point?”

“You…”

The second shareholder's eyes were red, but he could not utter a word.

“Let's not talk about my proposal, let's talk about it Marcel’s the high-flying plan!”

Looking at them, I banged the table hard and said.

“Blue Butterfly Textile Factory was not a Fortune 500 company, but a small business that is underperforming and even facing bankruptcy at any moment!”

Turning my head, I looked to Marcel and said.

“Do you understand the company's money flow? To tell you the truth, we can't even pay the workers' salaries next month, so how can we have the money to make a high-end clothing brand? To advertise? To broaden the channel? The primary goal of Blue Butterfly now is to stay alive!”

“We can find financing and investors!”

Marcel took off his glasses and retorted back at me irritably.

“Find financing? Where to? At the economic summit the other day, not a single investor would give us money! Besides, even with financing, how are we going to compete with high-end brands? Money, power, connections, which is better than others?”

“I don't need to elaborate the garment industry, do I? Carrie has connection and money, but her clothing factory in the end could only be run in the countryside. It is far away from a third-rate clothing brand. Does Blue Butterfly have the strength as JL Company Garment Factory?”

The second shareholder growled, puffing out the veins in his forehead.

“We can’t still make underwear! It is a shame! I slammed the table.

“Shut up! Greyson, no matter what the outcome is, you're no longer a member of the factory, so you better keep your mouth shut!”

Having said that, I turned to the crowd and added.

“At the moment, the company's priority is to survive, so women's underwear is our best first choice in a market that is not too competitive yet!”

“Matteo, I understand your thoughts, but this is not a long-term solution. My mother's last wish was to create the Blue Butterfly clothing brand, so the goal of the company is still to make clothing.”

Clara said with pursed lips, looking at me torn.

I turned my gaze to Marcel, who by then had long since lost his face. I said, “Marcel, tell everyone why I make underwear. If you can't even see that, you are just a trash!”

Marcel took a deep breath, slowly looked up and said. “Women's underwear is known as women's “second organ”. If a underwear brand can make women wear comfortable with less money, it will get women's favor, and subsequently, they will trust and attach to the brand.”
