Chapter 489: Launching the Profit Model
Chapter 489: Launching the Profit Model
This time, the net profit amounts to at least sixty million, a strong foundation, finally resolving and improving the initial cost inputs.
Nora Northwood has a bold decision, to acquire over thirty percent of Jasper Sinclair’s shares in a private capacity.
By then, she will be the largest shareholder of VK, holding absolute authority.
Lily Sloan and the others each hold four percent of the shares.
VK is expected to go public by the end of this year. Before listing, she needs to buy back the shares from outside.
To profit, it’s necessary to produce products that the public will pay for.
VK’s design department is still understaffed. They have interviewed more than a dozen perfumers, but the results have been unsatisfactory.
Therefore, for Nora Northwood, Shane Hamilton is an important card in her hand.
As the meeting was about to adjourn, she kept Megan Underwood back.
"President Northwood, the design department still needs a few good candidates." Megan Underwood sighed inwardly.
Approaching forty, the recent high-intensity work has caused her frequent insomnia. She knows that Nora Northwood’s state isn’t much better.
So she has delayed raising the issue, bearing it alone, but after a long time, she began to feel she could not handle it.
In a private setting, Nora Northwood’s tone softened, no longer as assertive and decisive as in the meeting.
She said, "Megan, I kept you back just to talk about this matter."
"Do you have someone in mind?"
"Yes," Nora nodded, "but it’s a chef."
"A chef!"
Megan Underwood was so surprised her jaw almost dropped. It was the first time she heard of a chef switching to perfumery!
Then, Nora Northwood explained the charity gala in detail, of course, only the part related to Shane Hamilton, omitting other parts.
After listening, Megan Underwood began to ponder.
This path is not entirely unfeasible.
Initially, Nora Northwood was not exactly a perfumer, just running a small flower shop on the roadside, and now, she has reached this height.
Before they could discuss a conclusion, the conference room door was knocked from outside, "President Northwood, a gentleman named Shane Hamilton is waiting for you in the guest room."
Speak of the devil.
Nora Northwood was slightly surprised at Shane’s arrival, not expecting him to be a person of such swift action.
She said to Megan Underwood, "Let’s go and have a look together."
Then, the two of them walked out of the meeting room one after another, heading in another direction.
Shane Hamilton was seated at the table, and despite his kitchen background, there was no trace of grease on him. On the contrary, he looked clean and fresh.
More than a chef, Nora Northwood felt he was more like a pastry chef.
"Mr. Hamilton, it’s a pleasure to see you at VK. This is the head of the perfumery design department, Megan Underwood."
"President Northwood, Manager Underwood, hello."
Faced with two strikingly beautiful individuals, Shane Hamilton showed some nervousness.
A man of over thirty, who has worked in the kitchen for seven or eight years, rarely interacting with women.
Megan Underwood noticed his unease, joking lightly to ease the atmosphere: "Mr. Hamilton, we are a decent workplace here, not the Spider’s Cave, don’t misunderstand."
Upon hearing this, Shane Hamilton’s posture relaxed considerably.
After the small talk, they moved on to discuss the serious business.
"Mr. Hamilton already has some ideas, right?"
"Yes."
"I hope to hear the outcome I desire, directly from you."
