"All right! Since you have decided to do this, we will follow you!"
"Really! Palmer Group will not back down! We believe you!"
"CEO Palmer, don't worry, we'll try our best!"
The directors immediately made their stance clear.
They have been with Palmer Group for a long time now and they have witnessed how Palmer Group has gone from being a new company to growing to what it is today. Not only because William and Diane have been working hard non-stop, but also because everyone in the Palmer Group has been working hard as well.
Once such a large family united, the amount of power they could unleash even shocked themselves.
"Alright, since all the partners are out, we have to think our own way" Diane made up her mind. "Contact the other directors, I will form a new department to take responsibility for this, we will discuss this at our meeting later."
"okay!" The directors went to get ready.
Diane sat down and turned to look at Sabine.
"Sabine, I'm sorry for making things difficult for you."
All of these businesses have agreed to work with Palmer Group so quickly because of Sabine. After all, the Palmer Group had just entered Starling City and knew nothing about Starling City.
But now that everyone had become unhappy because of the Palmer Group strategy, Diane felt bad about it.
"Don't worry, it doesn't matter at all" Sabine smiled. "I just thought that they would regret missing this opportunity that could help them become bigger than before."
He knew that Diane wanted to expand the market. Diane didn't just look at Starling City or just this product. He wants to change the rules of the industry.
Diane's insights had widened and she seemed much broader than most people could understand.
And actually Sabine admired him a lot for this.
That's because not many people want to get out of their comfort zone to look for something higher.
"If you need anything, let me know. You don't need to be polite at all with me, okay?"
"okay."
Sabine got up and left. He knows that Diane won't have any problems as long as Ethan is around.
The meeting room left only Diane and Ethan.
"My decision is right."
Diane did not ask Ethan if he had made the right decision or not. He believes that his decision was the right one, and that it was the best choice for the Palmer Group's expansion direction.
"Yes" Ethan nodded. "My wife won't make a mistake."
"I can do this" said Diane. He took a deep breath to comfort himself. "Hubby, I'm gonna be busy. I don't think I can spend much time with you during this period."
Ethan nodded.
"Don't get mad."
"I won't."
"After I'm done with this, I'll make it up to you."
Diane returned to her office to prepare for her next move.
Ethan doesn't bother him. She knew that Diane had grown up now, and was becoming more and more prominent. That's exactly what he wants to see in her.
Palmer Group will become stronger, while Diane will become more prominent.
In no time at all, Diane sent out an official notice to terminate all her contracts with all of her business partners. Palmer Group sales channel back to zero.
It seemed like they had returned to the starting point in an instant. The Palmer Group has again stood alone in front of this huge market and has no one to help them.
The news came out very quickly. Many people think that the Palmer Group deserves it, because they asked for trouble from the start.
Instead of just secretly making the money they can, they insist on setting their own industry standards. They would definitely suffer losses this way.
Palmer Group has no right to challenge international brands!
There were many ugly and horrible comments scattered, but Diane was not affected by it. He becomes increasingly determined because he knows that the more he is humbled, the more he proves that his decision is the right one.
…
Meanwhile, on the top floor of the office was a famous skyscraper in Starling City.
A young man was sitting in his large office chair with both feet propped up at his office desk. He didn't seem to care that his expensive pants were getting tangled.
"Not at all, Mr. Boyd. I've checked it out. Palmer Group is just a company that started in a small town and they are expanding to other cities now. They were lucky enough recently that they were able to thrive. They may be full of themselves now and overestimate themselves."
Myles Boyd sat there and looked at his secretary, then shook his head.
"You can't say it like that. Palmer Group's way of thinking is right" he laughed. "If we can have our own industry standards locally, it means our local products can have a say in the international market. They're really very ambitious."
Chapter 600
"But it's not practical" the secretary said seriously. "Don't mind that overseas brand – even fellow industry players within the country won't support Palmer Group or give them a chance at all. No one wants to get out of their comfort zone and let go of the opportunity to make money that is in sight of them."
It's a vicious circle. If you want to make money, then you have to pick up the pieces left behind. It was a tactic that overseas brands used, and it was very effective.
No one wanted to give up the benefits that were in front of them.
Not even Myles himself. He is the main distributor for the internationally renowned brand, L'Oreal. He highly praised the Palmer Group, but there was no way he would give them a chance!
Myles laughing. Of course he didn't give the Palmer Group a chance to succeed. He could not bear the consequences of their success.
He got up and walked to the French window. He looked down at the market he had mastered for many years and there was a mischievous smile on his face.
"CEO of Palmer Group, Diane, is a very interesting person," Myles murmured to himself. "I want to meet him."
The secretary did not answer.
Myles had received an invitation to a dinner party hosted by the Gelatik family back then. But he didn't even look at it and threw it straight into the trash.
And now he wants to see Diane?
"But not now." There was a deep gleam in his eyes as he turned to look at his secretary.
"Go and make arrangements according to my instructions."
"Yes, Mr. Boyd."
The secretary nodded and left the room.
Myles Boyd stood in front of the window. He spread his arms as if he was embracing the entire Starling City.
"This market belongs to me, Myles Boyd. No one can take an inch. You can eat a little if you allow. If I don't want to give you anything, you'll get nothing."
He called the shots in this market.
Of course, he had a fair challenger. After all these years, there are quite a lot of people trying. But where are they now?
They have long since disappeared.
…
Meanwhile.
Diane was in the office and had just finished a meeting to decide on her next move.
“CEO Palmer, I just received a notification from the industry trade association. They said that the new product of Palmer Group did not reach the standard for Band 1, and could only reach Band 3, so the product would be sold alongside others. Product tape 3."
Ashley's a little angry. "They went too far! They're using their industry standards to pressure us!"
This is clearly a warning.
Because the Palmer Group wants to set their own industry standards, they will use their standards against the Palmer Group to tell them there is no way forward.
Diane seemed to be ready for this to happen. "understand. Continue with our plans for the online market. We'll put our products in Band 3 in stores."
"But…"
Ashley's angry. If their product is sold as a Band 3 product, then consumers will think that the Palmer Group product is two levels lower than those big brands, and that will also limit their selling price.
How will they compete like that?
But since Diane did not panic, she did not say anything and went to arrange everything.
He walks to the door and sees that Ethan is in his chair and ransacking his drawer. "Where's your happy news? Did you stop hiding chips after coming to Starling City?"
"Son Ethan!" Ashley pouted and whined sadly. "You still want to eat snacks at a time like this?!"
"Why, what time is it?" Ethan looks up. "It's time to eat a snack! Take it out now, I'm so bored."
"Brother Ethan, someone else is bullying CEO Palmer right now, so why don't you help?"
Ashley's getting anxious.
In his heart, Ethan is an omnipotent god. As long as he decided to interfere, he could solve any problem. Who would dare bully the Palmer Group and Diane like this?
