Chapter 633: Someone Admitted Defeat
Rora bypassed the obstacles and faced Rachel Woodward directly, summarizing the problems she had discovered recently.
"VK’s perfumers are naturally talented, with Megan Underwood and Elaine overseeing. Instead of focusing on competing products, we should delve into our own business."
She said these things suddenly, catching Rachel Woodward off guard, as if her wounds had been touched.
"You have your own place in the overseas market. Why can’t you compete with them?"
"Miss Woodward, one person can’t fight against many. You should know this better than I do, otherwise, the Woodward Family wouldn’t have brought me here."
Rachel Woodward sensed vaguely that she wanted to leave and immediately felt more agitated, widening her eyes as she asked, "What do you mean!"
"Exactly as it sounds. Our contract ends here. I’m going back to Paris."
They had never signed a long-term contract, and initially, Rora came with a competitive spirit.
After several confrontations, she felt extremely frustrated, not only boosting VK’s reputation but also witnessing her own performance plummet, which was not her original intention.
...
Before leaving Stanton City, Rora met with Nora Northwood at VK.
The blonde, blue-eyed woman was very polite, quite different from what Nora Northwood had imagined.
She repeatedly expressed her apologies: "Miss Northwood, please forgive my abruptness. I was just passing by and taking a chance."
"We are all in the same industry. You could even be considered my partial senior, no need to be so reserved."
"You’re too kind. It’s my lack of skill. Meeting you this time has fulfilled my regret. I have to admit, you are a very strong competitor."
Previously unresolved issues of "plagiarism" were cleared up, and Nora Northwood gifted Rora with a few small presents, allowing the foreign friend to leave with a smile on her face.
After Rora left, the Woodward Family’s early accumulated products were all adjusted and sold at sixty to seventy percent of their original prices.
This move not only failed to bring them any profit but instead triggered a large number of online order refunds.
The fragrances that originally followed a mid-to-high-end path dropped to a level where everyone could afford a bottle after the significant price cuts.
Some customers who bought for the brand naturally weren’t happy. If they can’t enjoy the superiority offered by the brand, why spend thousands to buy something that, apart from the fragrance, has no other use?
VK’s marketing department conducted thorough research to identify the issues.
Subsequently, they promoted aspects like "calming and sleep aid", "enhancing marital relationships", and "developing personal scent", attracting a large number of users and loyal fans.
Due to the overall performance improvement, Nora Northwood organized a team-building event to reward everyone.
The event was decided by a company-wide vote.
Surprisingly, the most chosen option was "hiking"!
Nora Northwood teased everyone: "It seems our regular work doesn’t tire you out, and you even have the stamina for hiking."
A new girl in the perfuming department said: "Life is about movement. In modern times, people working long hours around computers suffer from lumbar disc herniation by their thirties, so we should move around more."
Later, Nora Northwood checked the backend voting data and found that most of those who chose hiking were young employees of the company.
To make VK’s management more humanized, this team-building event was not mandatory. Employees needing rest to adjust could take a paid day off.
In the end, the number of people choosing to participate in the hiking activity was about half, as Nora Northwood expected.
