Chapter 1558 Repairing A Damaged Reputation (1/2)
For the next two days, all the employees of the KING Group worked like horses just to finish Darren's demands.
On the morning of the third day, everyone's hard work paid off. With some good news to report, Darren's secretary came to the CEO's office with a lot of excitement. Darren only needed to see the look on her face to know that they had made it. Slowly, he asked, ”Did we do it?”
”Here is the report on the sales figures for the past few days. Please take a look,” the secretary cheerfully replied while handing over the documents in her hand. She was so happy that she couldn't stop herself from smiling too much.
Darren took the sales reports and took a minute to read everything. According to the report, their sales had only increased by one percent on the first day of reducing their prices. But when they had put up testing booths that showed how much sodium was in their products, their sales had gone up like fireworks. The highest volume of sales was on the third day. It was as high as a hundred million products sold. This figure broke the all-time sale record of the KING Group by a considerable margin.
Darren was so overjoyed that he couldn't help but stand up and pat the secretary on the back. ”This is great! Thank you. You can go now.”
Before the secretary left, she informed Darren that more than a dozen major media companies wanted to interview him. There were also journalists outside who were all asking for a statement from him.
Her words gave Darren a smile that spanned from ear to ear. Everything was going according to his plan.
Since Darren was in good spirits, he held a small press conference for the journalists right then and there. The first question came from a female reporter. ”The KING Group suffered such a devastating loss a week ago, but managed to come back in a blink of an eye. Can your company handle any more setbacks? If yes, how do you plan on dealing with them?”
With a smile, Darren proudly answered, ”I'll have to thank our earnest workers for getting us back on track so quickly. For your second question, I won't let their efforts be in vain, so I'll make sure that we won't get involved in any kind of trouble ever again. I am confident that the KING Group will only have good days to come.”
A few more reporters asked their own questions, but it was almost the same as the first one. When the conference ended, everyone had no doubt that the KING Group was going to be on headlines the following day.
Darren was a smart man and didn't allow any opportunities of succeeding pass by. He intentionally informed the reporters that the price cut on their snacks would only last for a few days.
