Chapter 432: There's no need to bankrupt the company because of this

"I'm just a little bit earlier than you. Please take a seat. On the table are my new designs, which I'm going to be exhibiting at the upcoming jewelry exhibition. Take a look and feel free to offer your feedback." Yan Nuo had been working as an outsourced designer for the company since college. After selling out several sets of jewelry, she became the lead designer. Although she wasn't physically present at the company, everyone in the design department knew their boss was the department's chief designer. Therefore, Yan Nuo had the sole authority to decide what jewelry to include in the exhibition.

After reviewing the design drafts, the veteran employees all smiled with satisfaction. One even jokingly asked, "Boss Yan, when will these two jewelry sets be available? I'd like to see if I can buy one for my daughter to wear at her engagement party. She's getting engaged to her boyfriend of five years."

The person speaking was the marketing director, surnamed Sun. He liked to wear royal blue suits, accessorized with a classic nighthawk brooch designed by Yan Nuo. Yan Nuo's mind flashed back to the personnel information Jing Dong had given him. Jing Dong had described Director Sun as someone with significant wealth and a strong focus on his family.

Seeing Director Sun's happy smile that showed he doted on his daughter, Yan Nuo asked, "When are you getting engaged?"

"Two months from now. Doesn't seem like enough time."

"It's not enough. I've scheduled these two sets of jewelry to be released in three months, catching up with the 'spring' fashion." This is also the time when major brands release new products, and their small company also likes to follow this trend. "But, I can make an extra set privately. Uncle, which one do you want to give to your daughter?"

"Then I want both sets!" Director Sun said generously. He was touched that Director Yan was willing to make things convenient for him. How could he just buy one set? He had to buy both sets.

Yan Nuo curled his lips, "Then I'll contact the maker to place an order. I contacted the jewellery maker I met in Jinghai to make these two sets of jewellery. Once he finishes, I'll invite him to work in the company."

"Mr. Yan, you can make the decision on this matter yourself. We all have confidence in you." Everyone said.

The main reason was that Jingdong announced Yan Nuo's identity in the company after her designs became a hit. Everyone knew Yan Nuo's strength and there was no doubt about it. In the workplace, strength is an advantage, and with strength comes the right to speak.

"Mr. Yan, when we participate in the jewelry exhibition, which exhibition area and booth will the organizer choose for us? I heard from my friend that the competition for this exhibition is very fierce because the internationally renowned top designer Xu An will be attending in person, and not as Wei Jewelry, but as the founder of her independent studio. All major brands in Jinghai will definitely try their best to squeeze into the front area. I'm afraid we will be arranged in an inconspicuous corner. Xu An will definitely not walk through all the exhibition areas." Director Wang of the Purchasing Department is very pessimistic about the jewelry exhibition. He wants to hint to Yan Nuo not to participate. He wants to hint to Yan Nuo not to participate anyway. He will not get any attention by participating, but will give the booth fee to the Jewelry Design Association in vain. Director Wang feels painful and thinks it is not worth it.

No matter what kind of event it is, as long as the big brands participate, small brands will be real cannon fodder and stepping stones for others.

Director Sun: "Old Wang, you're too negative. In addition to masters like Xu An, the exhibition area will also have many wealthy people and jewelry enthusiasts attending. They are also our important targets. It's normal that we can't win Xu An's favor. But if we can't win the favor of the remaining two groups, we won't be able to truly reach the high-end level. Don't you think this exhibition is very important?"

Director Wang was stunned for a moment, then a faint smile appeared on his face, which had been filled with worry and reluctance to spend the money. "It has to be your marketing department. I'm impressed. Now that you put it that way, I feel like the money was well spent."

"Of course it's not unfair. The road to building a brand is paved with money. Old Wang, you have to adjust your mentality, because there will be more places to spend money in the future. I will probably bring it up in every meeting. Take it easy. You are old and you are not allowed to care about everything." Director Sun teased. Director Wang glared at him and said, "You old guy, you really like to make fun of people."

Everyone else looked at these two funny guys with a faint smile on their faces.

Yan Nuo also smiled. Her father really left her a very good company. The employees recruited were so pure!

She no longer hid the truth and announced directly, "Our booth for the jewelry exhibition has been confirmed. It's in Exhibition Area 2, the same exhibition area as Wei's Jewelry."

After these words fell, the conference room was silent for several seconds. Director Sun, who had been particularly supportive of Yan Nuo just now, was so frightened that his face turned pale and he stuttered:

"Mr. Yan, Mr. Yan, each of the first ten exhibition areas can only accommodate two brands. Exhibition area one is for the Jade Group and the Crown Group, and exhibition area two is exclusively for Wei's Jewelry. Why exclusive? Because these three major brands don't have to pay for exhibition booths. Otherwise, exhibition areas one and two would be astronomical in price. You didn't spend a fortune on this booth, did you? Mr. Yan, there's no need to bankrupt the company for this position."
