After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire -
Chapter 103 Once Again Leaving Roger Speechless
"I agree!" Roger echoed immediately, "Hannah will get to know the employees better and face the market more directly if she starts from a grass-roots supervisor, which will do good to her management skills
later."
"I don't agree!" said Hannah.
Roger changed his face again. He thought Hannah had compromised the last second but now she was pushy and competitive again!
"Since you just want to test my work ability, you don't have to make me start from a supervisor. It's an unnecessary move! Why not just let me stay in my current position to win your approval and trust? Once I'm proved to be incapable of this job or fail to win your approval and trust, you can make me quit then. Why do that to waste the time?"
"Do you really think doing business is as easy as playing house? Do you know how important the position of sales director is? One wrong decision might ruin Cooper Group's market development. How can we let you fool around here?" Roger said harshly, "And, do you feel wronged to be a supervisor? Huh? If weren't the daughter of Mr. Chairman, you would be hired as a grass-roots employee only no matter how amazing your resume is! Now Mr Watson suggests you start from a supervisor, which means we trust you and your ability. Don't push your luck again or embarrass yourself. You're still young and doesn't think much of face, but don't embarrass your father!"
"Uncle Roger, you should be the one to feel embarrassed, right?" Hannah said straightforwardly.
"Yeah, right. Anyway, you're my niece! Your attitude has really embarrassed the Cooper Family." Roger spoke righteously.
"You were so righteous, Uncle Roger! But my point is, it seems that you've forgotten that you son, Wayne, worked as the director of General Affairs Department after he graduated from college. Your elder daughter Jane, she was in the position of the Marketing Office Manager in the sales department right after graduation. And, your younger daughter Mary, who joined the company on the same day with me, was also a green hand in the workplace. But why could she take over her sister's position directly?"
Hearing it, Roger was blue in the face. He was terribly mad and humiliated at the moment.
"What's wrong, Uncle Roger? Do you think only your children can enjoy the privilege and work in the important positions as soon as they joined the company. And the daughter of the CEO has no such privilege, right?"
"You...." Roger was speechless. Seriously, he'd got nothing to say to retort!
It couldn't be more awkward in the meeting room now.
At first, they didn't think of it and thought Roger was talking sense and being impartial. After all, Hannah was his niece. To others, Roger and Miguel were real brothers and they were close. However, it turned out that he'd been embarrassed and been partial to his own children.
"Sure, I agree with Mr Watson." It meant that she didn't agree on Roger's selfish behaviors.
In fact, Maxwell was kinda embarrassed in hearing Hannah's words. After all, no one said a word on it when Wayne, Jane and Mary joined the company. But they gave Hannah a pretty hard time on her first day at work.
"Considering the company, it's unreasonable to put someone in an important position when his or her work capacity is unproved. I still want this job not because I can't demean myself to be a supervisor or I'm afraid I can't stand the test. I just don't want to waste time. To human beings, time is the most precious!"
"So, to dispel your concerns and doubt and not to waste our precious time, I hope to make a deal with all of you here! Now in front of all the senior managers of Cooper Group, I set my goal! If I fail to reach my goal, I'll quit and never come back to Cooper Group again, let alone starting from a grass-roots employee! If I reach my goal, you all will have to accept me as the sales director."
Hannah's words sounded powerful and resolute, giving her the strong aura of a tough business woman. And she didn't look like a 22-year-old young girl, who was a rookie in the work place. "What goal?" Maxwell asked immediately. He said it to save himself from the embarrassment.
"Within three months, I'll lead sales department to finish 80% of the company's sales volume in the second half of the year. Within six months, sales volume of our department will be twice as much as last year's total turnover."
Everyone present were shocked and began discussing! How bold she was! Probably no one in the room had the balls to set a goal like that!
What made Hannah so confident?
"Hannah, think twice." Miguel couldn't help to remind Hannah to be reasonable.
According to the market economy, it was true that the latter half of the year was a peak season. But it didn't mean the sales volume would be doubled so dramatically.
Above all, Cooper Group's market occupancy was already super high! It would be considered as a success if she could reach last year's sales volume. Now Miguel was uncertain when Hannah promised that she would double last year's total sales volume within half a year.
"I've thought it over." Hannah said with confidence.
So, Miguel had to bite back his words. After all, he simply couldn't talk much in front of the shareholders. Otherwise, he would appear to be partial.
Hannah saw her father fall in silence, knowing that he would have to agree though he really couldn't understand why she'd acted so rashly.
Then she turned around to face the others and asked, "What do you think of this deal?"
No one said anything in the meeting room. So, Hannah had no choice but to turn to Maxwell, who'd disproved of her at the very beginning, and said, "Mr Watson, what do you say?"
"Well, I'm fine with it. But I'm afraid that you set the goal but won't act to it." Obviously, Maxwell didn't think Hannah was gonna make it, so he just said bluntly.
"A promise is a promise. I'll definitely keep my promise since I've said it in front of you all. "
"OK." Maxwell said, "I agree."
Anyway, Hannah wasn't gonna reach the goal!
Hannah didn't care what Maxwell was thinking. After she got the positive answer from Maxwell, she turned to look at Roger and asked, "What about you, Mr Vice-President?”
"I see eye to eye with Mr Watson. I'm fine with it as long as you keep your word."
"So, we've kinda reached an agreement on my position of sales director." Hannah concluded.
No one else said anything one more word, as if they'll had agreed on it. After all, Hannah was good enough to be the CEO if she could reach her goal!
"Uncle Roger, don't you remember that both Wayne and Mary have been directly appointed?" Hannah suddenly changed the topic.
