Ethan Hunt: Billionaire God of War
Chapter 607 - 608

Chapter 607

The press conference started on time.

There were many reporters who came even uninvited. The Palmer Group's products have caused quite a stir, so many media outlets want to report on this hot topic.

Palmer Group itself is a topic in itself. Their highly unusual business culture alone was enough to grab their attention. Diane hosted a press conference and explained everyone's questions about the Palmer Group products. He also repeatedly promised that if Palmer Group's products had quality problems, his company would definitely bear all the responsibility.

His presence was incredible, and even the way he moved exuded a special charm.

She is completely different from the shy Diane and hangs in front of Ethan.

When Diane is in work mode, she becomes a serious, focused, responsible and non-nonsense workaholic.

Ethan is falling in love.

"Members of the media can ask questions now," Diane glanced at the reporter with a smile.

"I have a question!"

A man in black-framed glasses immediately raised his hand. "I'd like to ask - Palmer Group wanted to make a name for themselves in Starling City, but Palmer Group's products barely reached Band 3 by international standards. Does such a product have the potential to enter the high-end market?"

This question is a bit pointed.

It sounds a little intentional.

Everyone knows that the Palmer Group wants to set their own local industry standards, but this reporter seems to be trying to poke Diane's words and explain the issues facing the Palmer Group today.

If the Palmer Group is unable to resolve this issue or at least provide a solution, then they will hold this press conference at no cost.

If they can't even solve the most important problem, there's no point in talking a lot about expansion.

"Palmer Group will definitely enter the high-end market!" Diane said each word with confidence and determination. "But that's not going to happen with this product."

"But from what I know, this is the best-selling product that Palmer Group has and represents the best technology that Palmer Group has to offer. Are you trying to say that the classification by the trade association is wrong?"

The reporter's next question clearly set some traps for Diane.

If Diane says the classification is wrong, then she openly challenges international standards. If he did that, then L'Oreal wouldn't be the only brand going against Palmer Group.

But if Diane agrees with the classification, then she admits that Palmer Group products do exist only in Band 3.

What a dangerous question!

The directors sitting on one side all stared at the reporter, wondering which media outlet he represented. This reporter is clearly here to cause trouble.

She obviously wanted Diane to embarrass herself in front of everyone.

"You're right." Diane suddenly calmed down and was not angry at all. He smiled and continued, "The new product from Palmer Group is indeed only in Band 3."

There was a commotion in the crowd.

No one expected Diane to admit this so easily.

Doesn't that mean Palmer Group products can only survive in lower-end markets and are not entitled to compete with international brands for high-end markets?

"And that's because the industry standard that Palmer Group sets for itself says so."

Diane's next sentence made the entire place go silent again.

"Palmer Group has its own industry standards, and these will be standards that we want to use in other countries as well" Diane said in a voice. "Our new product is only in Band 3, but it's not because our technology is just at that level. It's a product aimed at the majority of the population, so a Band 3 rating fits."

"Since we have set industry standards, how will one decide if our technology level meets the standards? I'm sure you won't understand how to do this because you're not on this path."

Diane's statement shut the reporter's mouth.

If he kept asking, it meant that he was someone from outside the industry asking someone within the industry and his words would not carry a burden since he was not an expert.

What Diane meant was very clear. The reporter thought she had dug a hole for Diane and she actually jumped in. But after jumping, he dug a deeper hole and made it fall into it!

“I'm sure everyone has seen how accepted this product is. Both the quality and effect of our products are comparable to those of major brands, which means major brands that are successfully classified as Band 1 by international standards will be classified as Band 3 by Palmer Group standards."

This is exactly what Diane wanted to say.

After he said that, almost all the reporters turned to look at the reporter.

They looked at him and clearly wondered if he had been planted there by the Palmer Group to put on this show!

Chapter 608

How much did the Palmer Group pay? This coordination is perfect.

The question only made him fall into a trap. So now the industry standard set by Palmer Group is even higher than the international standard.

If the Band 1 classification of international standards is only Band 3 of the Palmer Group standard, what does it mean?

That means that the high-end products of those big brands are no better than the cheap and good Band 3 products of the Palmer Group.

The reporter felt Diane had just slapped her face. He had set up such a beautiful trap for her but she ended up falling into it herself.

How will he answer Myles Boyd?

"Do you still have any other questions?" ask Dian. He's still smiling.

The reporter did not dare to ask again just in case Diane pulled another one quickly at him. He suddenly realized that the Palmer Group must have been ready for this to happen.

"If there are no more questions, then we will end the press conference here. Palmer Group will be releasing the Band 1 product in the next three months, and I hope everyone will give you an honest assessment."

Diane then got up and left.

Camera flashes went out as report after report was published on every major media channel, causing another uproar.

Myles' expression began to look disgusting when he saw the latest news article.

His expression was grim as he looked at the reporter he hired and smiled coldly.

"I told you to set a trap for Diane and you ended up supporting her view?"

"No...Mr. Boyd, I don't!"

"There are people who say that you have taken money from the Palmer Group! How much do they pay you? More than me?!" Myles started screaming.

"I don't!" the reporter was trembling now. "I did everything according to your instructions!"

"According to my instructions?"

Myles walked up to the reporter and slapped her face hard. He roared, "You've made a big brand like L'Oreal equal to the standard Band 3 of Palmer Group! Do you know what that means?!"

His eyes will soon be out of his head. He's very angry. "That means Diane will make it!"

"You idiot!"

Myles was so angry that his body trembled.

Diane is really too cunning. He did not hold this press conference for the Palmer Group, but for Myles.

He wanted to dig a big hole for Diane and Palmer Group, but in the end, it was Palmer Group who dug a hole for him.

And he jumped into himself!

After being fooled by someone she never appreciated more than once, Myles was extremely frustrated. "Diane! Do you think you can really take my food out of my mouth? Dream on!"

If he could not save this situation, he would become the laughingstock of the industry.

How could the head distributor of a large international brand lose to a woman from the south? Myles couldn't stand lying down.

He was still thinking of a way when his phone suddenly rang.

Myles' expression changed slightly when he saw who was calling and immediately picked him up.

"Hello, CEO!"

Myles is a little nervous. The news of what happened must have reached the headquarters by now.

It's a matter of brand reputation, so it's no small matter.

"Well, I've heard all about what happened in Starling City. You've done a good job."

Myles. Does the CEO praise him?

"From today onwards, I'll give you a long break until you find a new job."

The next sentence from the CEO pushed Myles into a deep abyss.

"CEOS! CEO!"

Before he could say anything, the other party had hung up.

Has this problem had such a big impact?

Myles didn't expect him to lose a landslide!
