Chapter 1668 Regret (Part 1)
Sophia was the first to suggest that Tiffany and Guo Tailai cooperate, and even made a special trip to China for this purpose, and asked Guo Tailai to make a sample to take back to prove that Guo Tailai had such ability. At that time, Sophia was full of confidence, but the senior management gave her a blow to the head.
The vice president who had been fighting with her all this time was obviously wrong with people. He didn't care how exquisite Guo Tailai's samples were, so he just took a hammer and smashed them. And very arrogantly accused that a diamond ring without a metal ring has no soul, and accused Sophia of falsifying the sample.
In the end, the senior management still supported the vice president instead of Sophia. Of course, from that day on, Sophia was transferred from the original department to take charge of other affairs. It is clearly a transfer at the same level, but in fact it is a downgrade and a salary cut.
Sophia has been waiting for many years. When Chu Fei poached someone, she immediately resigned to join the Phee brand and became the CEO. This is not a counterattack. The real counterattack is to wait to see the fate of the vice president. Sophia is extremely looking forward to seeing the embarrassment of those guys.
Of course, the all-diamond pair ring caused a sensation in the world, and Tiffany would definitely not take the initiative to expose the embarrassing things about the company. They hoped that no one would know. However, is this possible?
When Phee showed the full diamond pair ring at the opening ceremony, fashion people, beauty lovers and people who like luxury goods all over the world were discussing the pair ring worth 200 million US dollars. people's attention.
According to an unnamed insider, Tiffany had reached a preliminary cooperation with Guo Tailai back then, but when the manager of a certain department in charge of the negotiation returned to the headquarters with a sample made by Mr. T to report, Tiffany’s The high-level officials arrogantly vetoed this cooperation that may be recorded in history, which involved sex discrimination against the manager of this department, and also involved racial discrimination against Mr. T, an Asian.
The person who broke the news has a very comprehensive grasp. The current CEO of the Phee brand is Ms. Sophia, the department manager in charge of negotiations at Tiffany.
As soon as the news hit the newspapers, Sophia was chased and blocked by countless reporters. A group of people held up microphone recording pens and poked Sophia in front of her, asking her if the news was true.
"It's true!" Sophia smiled all over her face, feeling unspeakably happy in her heart, but her face showed a look of regret for the rest of her life: "I shouldn't have taken out the sample made by Mr. In my hand, I might be a billionaire. Unfortunately, that precious diamond sample was smashed on the spot by a senior executive of Tiffany in the name of sensationalism and fraud."
"My God!"
"No way?"
...
Don't say that Sophia is regretful, even those reporters are regretful! A sample from Mr. T! How much is it worth if you put it now? What's wrong? No, this news has to be sent out immediately to grab the headlines.
"We once had the opportunity to cooperate with Mr. T. The reporter broke the news, and the board of directors didn't know about it?" As Sophia expected, after she personally broke the news, Tiffany immediately convened the board of directors. , Several shareholders almost suppressed their anger and questioned the reason to the top management: "Why didn't you cooperate?"
A pair of all-diamond rings was born out of nowhere, which made countless consumers salivate and drool, and at the same time shocked several jewelers.
There are only two pieces in the world, handed down by legendary craftsmen, complete processing of gem-quality giant diamonds, relatively speaking, Chu Fei's elaborate design seems a bit unsightly. Although she is already beautiful enough, Chu Fei's reputation in jewelry design is still just an excellent jewelry designer, and it cannot be called a masterwork. But even so, with Guo Tailai's bonus, these two rings are worth 200 million US dollars, and no one thinks there is a problem with the price tag.
There are only two rings, and the Phee brand has not done much research on jewelry, so no major jewelers regard Phee as a competitor. However, with just two rings, the Phee brand was given the most expensive advertisement in the world. The advertising effect made all jewelers drool with envy! In one day, this newly established Phee brand became well-known all over the world, from obscurity to minor celebrity in one fell swoop.
Needless to say, the fact that the stock in the flagship store was almost sold out that day proves how effective the advertisement is.
How nice would it be if this pair of all diamond rings were house branded? How powerful will it be for the expansion of your own brand and the reputation of your own brand? Think about the shortage of watches made by Mr. T. If your own brand can cooperate with Mr. T, Mr. T's processing ability can definitely produce a large number of hand-made high-quality goods! That is an incomparably huge achievement that can trample all competitors under their feet and make them look up in tears!
No matter how many jewelers want to cooperate with Mr. T, they have no chance or access. Tiffany's top executives are good. Obviously, Sophia has reached an agreement with Guo Tailai, and they are even willing to provide samples to prove their abilities. As a result, several high-level executives took the initiative to smash the samples without hesitation. Transfer away, give up this cooperation?
After the major shareholders knew about this situation, they were almost out of anger! In particular, the news was not a high-level report, but the reporter became even more angry after breaking the news. Damn it, I'm going to spend money and effort to support you bastards to help us manage the company. Is this how you help us work? You know, at that time, Guo Tailai's reputation was not as great as it is now. If a cooperation was reached at that time, the price of the cooperation would never be as high as it is now. It can be said that Tiffany is equivalent to picking up a big deal!
In the end, just because a vice president was jealous of his talents, a cooperation that would make Tiffany a legendary brand was ruined alive? The meat was delivered to the mouth, but some people thought that the cook was a woman and insisted on pushing it away? How else can a brand thrive under the name of sexism and racism?
What a chance to become a legendary brand! It's just gone! If Sophia can return to Tiffany with Mr. T's cooperation contract now, the shareholders can immediately give Sophia the CEO of Tiffany. What kind of gender discrimination, as long as it can bring huge benefits to the shareholders, let alone Sophia is just a beautiful woman, even if she is a pig, they are willing!
At this board meeting, several angry major shareholders went into a rage. Amidst the roars of several people in turn, two vice presidents, three general assistants, one secretary to the board of directors, and two senior department heads were fired on the spot. Before it was time to get off work, this group of people left the Tiffany headquarters with their own cardboard boxes containing their personal belongings.
