After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 380

The atmosphere in the conference room had become stiff ever since the voices of doubt.

Standing on the stage, the executive of the finance department said with a little embarrassment, “Right, Mr Moss was right...I did only analyze the income and expenses within my department and didn’t do a horizontal comparison of our marketing share in competitive markets. And I’ll improve it after the presentation.”

“I don’t want to see this inane financial statement again,” said Simon Moss seriously.

“Yes,” the executive was kind of embarrassed because of his words.

But as senior management, he dared not speak against Simon, and the only thing he could do was to listen.

“You can finish it now.” It was Miguel Cooper who gave him an out. But he also wasn’t against Simon’s point of view.

The whole presentation only focused on the internal data of the group, which was kind of stupid in large part—the market defined the survival ability of a company and was the ultimate measure.

“We shouldn’t pay any attention to the next financial analysis report at present. I think we have to talk about why we lost the project of the South Bay New Town when all the top executives are here today. This is a typical failure of our market competition. To put it bluntly, no matter how much our turnover increased year-to-year or sequentially, we’re suffering losses in the market!” Simon’s face clouded.

Hannah had gathered that the failure of this project wouldn’t be let go easily.

“Mr Cooper, I personally think that the failure of this project shouldn’t end up like this. And we have to learn lessons from it or we’ll lose other projects in the same way next time.” Simon said with seriousness.

Before Miguel started speaking, a top executive agreed and said, “Mr Moss is right. The project of South Bay New Town is the largest in the last five years in Kensbury City. And we should reflect on our mistakes as we have lost this important one.”

“This is only part of the story.” Another executive said, “We must not forget to punish people who are responsible. Otherwise, if projects can fail with no consequences, then nobody will have the pressure or motivation to work out the projects.”

For a while, the people in the conference room began talking at once. Hannah still kept silent. She didn’t speak up for herself at all yet she didn’t admit her mistakes either.

It was Miguel who said with over seriousness, “The failure of the South Bay New Town Project shouldn’t be attributed to any person in particular. But it’s a breach of responsibility of the whole company and the whole team. First, this project was reported by Hannah in front of all the top executives. And if I remembered clearly, it was passed unanimously. It means that we’re all responsible for the project’s failure, and it’s not someone’s fault. If you want to punish the responsible person, all of us would be involved.”
