"Help me?" ethan said calmly. "Are you helping yourself?"
He shook his head and still could not believe what Leo said.
Everyone likes smart people, but those who are too smart or think they are smart are actually stupid.
"You can go now, I won't kill you."
Ethan leaned over and continued to arrange the teapot and teacup.
Leo took a deep breath and his face was slightly red now.
He opened his mouth to speak, but did not manage to say anything.
"Sir Hunt, we'll see each other again."
He bowed politely and said these words before leaving immediately.
Leo knows that his words are not enough to persuade Ethan, so he must use his actions and do something to make Ethan happy with him and let Ethan see his sincerity.
Although he does not receive an affirmation from Ethan, Leo is convinced of one thing.
Ethan is very strong.
Although Ethan did not give off a frightening aura, he felt that he should not look down on this man. Just getting close to Ethan was enough to make him nervous.
And this despite having excellent control over his emotions.
"The Saxon family.it looks like I have to do something to prove myself."
Leo left Starling City.
There was no way he could give this opportunity. He had to take a chance before others realized that they had to grab this huge ship.
Ethan is not bothered by Leo's sudden visit.
But he knew that Leo was a smart man. Ordinary people would look at the wind and try to harness the wind for themselves. But an intelligent person will see the big picture, follow the wind and become the wind itself.
He will wait and see.
The most important thing now is to keep the expansion of Palmer Group and the development of Diane.
These are the things that are most important to Ethan.
Otherwise, it would be difficult and frustrating to deal with the girl once the Palmer Group entered the northern region.
Ethan goes upstairs to see that Diane has finished her discussion. She knew that she had a useful session because she had a wide smile on her face.
"Mr Dorian, I will ask someone to send you home," Diane smiled. "Jenny, look Mr. Dorian out."
"okay!" answer jennie. "Mr Dorian, please get through here."
Ethan walked over and nodded at Mr. Dorian. "May your day be pleasant, Mr. Dorian."
Then she walked over to Diane and could not help but laugh when she saw how happy Diane was. "Hows it? Learn a lot, right?"
"Yes!" There was no one else in the office, so Diane put her hand around Ethan's neck. "I really have to thank Sabine. Without his help, I don't know where to start."
He knew that having a product alone was not enough for the Palmer Group to enter the Starling City market.
The few people Sabine had introduced to him had resolved this matter perfectly.
Once sales channels, distributors, marketing and advertising teams work together, it will make the work of Palmer Group easier.
In addition, Sabine was the head of the Gelatic and influential family now, so she made the discussion process much smoother.
Diane had made a lot of preparations before coming, so since everything was going smoothly, she was very happy.
"It's mostly because of your charm. Others can give you a chance on a Sabine account, but if you don't help everyone get big bucks, or give them any profit, then no one will work with you," ethan said with a smile. "Don't underestimate yourself - my wife is the most outstanding of all."
"Thank you, husband!" Diane kisses Ethan's cheek. "I'm getting more confident now!"
He always insisted on treating everyone sincerely, and he wanted others to feel his sincerity. Although business is business, companies do not have to fight each other to the death. If they could accept a win-win situation, they would make the industry better.
Diane always thought this way and continued to work hard in this direction.
Ethan was about to pull her into his arms to kiss him but Diane had walked back to the table.
"I have to sort out all the things that Mr. Dorian and I just discussed."
Diane picked up a pen and started writing things quickly. His attention is now focused on his work and he seems to have forgotten that Ethan is still standing there.
The Palmer Group is moving very fast.
Diane finished drafting the proposal that night according to Mr. Dorian's suggestion and set achievable standards. The next day, he handed it over to the department as needed for further amendments.
If they could do this, it would be a big step for the Palmer Group into the Starling City market.
This can even be a contribution that no one else can easily emulate.
Diane was very serious and put all her energy into this.
As long as he was confident that something could be done and it would have a very good effect, he would exert all his efforts on it. Ethan always supported him.
This news spread through the Starling City market very quickly.
Many others in the same industry are starting to discuss this.
"Have you heard? The Palmer Group has just entered the Starling City market and wants to set industry standards. Who do they think they are?"
"They're really too arrogant. Industry standard? Have we been using international standards for decades now? Who would dare to say a local product is better than an overseas product?"
"They overestimate themselves! In the end all this will be for nothing!"
Chapter 596
Over the past few decades, industry standards have always been set by overseas markets, as their products represent the best the world can offer.
They decide everything, and even though this country uses their standards, they have to pay a fee to do so.
Overseas brands always have a place in the local market and are always able to compete with local brands for market share and opportunity to grow. But no one can protest this.
Actually, most people are used to this. Even local production lines try to smear overseas brands in hopes of getting a share, and dare not think of setting their own industry standards anymore.
Now, the Palmer Group has come out publicly to say that they want to set their own standards domestically and want to make sure it is even higher than the standards set overseas. But they were greeted with nothing but sarcastic comments and ridicule.
Many retailers are starting to falter. Many people called them to ask if the Palmer Group would challenge current industry standards.
It seemed like if the Palmer Group really did this, the Palmer Group became ridiculous and they immediately lost faith in the Palmer Group.
"Palmer Group has gone crazy and their ideas are too high. It is the same as digging their own graves. I think it's too dangerous to work with them!"
"Why do they even want to challenge the existing industry standards? All the major players in the market are backed by a large amount of investment from abroad, so why is the Palmer Group doing this?"
"If you decide to cancel this deal, aren't you afraid of offending the Little Family? I heard that this Palmer Group is very close to the Gelatik family!"
"Huh, the Gelatic family is very strong in the illegal circle, but do you think they would dare to control the business in the legal circle? They don't have that kind of guts!"
The resistance becomes stronger and stronger.
In just a few days, all the businesses that had agreed to cooperate with Palmer Group began to hesitate.
It's hard for them to keep working because of Sabine. After all, someone from an illegal circle would not dare to openly influence their business in the legal circle.
They only have one – request they want Diane to stop setting her own industry standards and doing business like everyone else.
If not, they will cancel the deal.
More than a dozen business partners are now sitting in meeting rooms at Palmer Group's Starling City offices.
The atmosphere in the room was very bad, and everyone seemed a little angry.
They don't support the way the Palmer Group wants to do things, and don't understand their motivation.
"CEO Palmer, is there any meaning in doing something like this?" one of them spoke up. "Isn't it enough to just make a profit? Why bother thinking so much? Do you know how much you have to sacrifice to create a new standard? We can't take that much risk with the Palmer Group!"
"Just right! Even though we use the standards of others and we have to pay to use them, this is still within our limits. It's not like we've never tried to set our own standards before. It never got a confession!"
"Even consumers only accept international standards, so why lose money on something like this?"
They all kept talking in hopes of persuading Diane to change her mind.
For them, this is a wasted effort that will waste time, effort, and money, and will ultimately not yield good results.
And if they fail, they won't just lose money. They will also miss the best time to sell products and new products from abroad will catch up with them. When that happens, how will they compete?
Their share in the Starling City market will soon be snatched up by their competitors.
"CEO Palmer, you're young and I can understand that you have a lot of ideas right now, but this is really impractical."
"Having ambition is good, but you also have to be practical. Sorry for being so outspoken, but given the current capabilities of the Palmer Group, trying to achieve this goal is honestly a stupid and unlikely idea!"
Since Diane did not speak, everyone started to heat up.
Someone even slammed the table.
"CEO Palmer, if you do not take this decision back, then we will cancel this deal and cancel our partnership! I'll continue to be a distributor for overseas brands, and I won't sell your new products!"
"That's right, we'll cancel our deal! We can't risk this!"
