After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 135

Chapter 135 Hannah's Ability at Business

In the conference room of the sales department, Cooper Group.
Hannah sat in the center.
On both of her sides sat the manager of the sales department, the supervisors and some core employees.
She glanced at them.
At that moment, she saw Mary.
Because of Jane's death, Roger, Wayne and Mary all took some bereavement days off.
The leave of absence hadn't been over.
Mary already came to work.
As their eyes met, Mary hurriedly said, "My sister's funeral has finished. If I stay at home, I will only get sadder, so I come to work in advance. Maybe I can forget it with busy work and feel better."
Hannah nodded slightly and didn't say much.
Being treated with a distant attitude, Mary was also guessing Hannah's mind.
Yesterday, Hannah forced Mason Porter and Maxwell Watson to leave the company, which indeed shocked their family. They did not expect that these two important men of the company would quit their jobs under the compulsion of Hannah. In the following days, Maxwell as the company's shareholder could only enjoy pure dividends and would no longer participate in the company's decision-making process.
Since Mary's father learned the news, he hadn't been at ease for a single minute.
Roger had won Maxwell over with efforts, hoping that Maxwell would support him in the top leadership positions of the company. But it was unexpected that he was now forced to leave by Hannah and left in disrepute, which was simply unacceptable.
But things had happened.
Roger had to let her, her brother and himself engage in the business of the company as early as he could.
They were afraid that in these days when they were absent, Hannah would take over the company!
They couldn't let Hannah get the real power.
If Hannah made it, it would be impossible for their family to control the Cooper Group.
So early this morning, Mary followed them to the company.
As soon as she arrived at the gate of the building, she saw Hannah get off the car. She initially wanted to step forward toward her, but she saw Oscar getting off the car too.
Oscar was really handsome.
Before that, it was said that he had a bad reputation, so the tasteful upper-class ladies did not notice him. However, Oscar seemed to have changed his image in their eyes at some point. Since he married Hannah, things were starting to look up on him, and he even won a better reputation than Charles.
It could not be denied that what had happened at Charles's wedding that time gave him a blow and made him extremely dejected and down.
It was said that the stocks of the Sawyer family had been greatly affected by Charles' scandals.
Not to mention others, for Mary, Charles looked that mediocre now behind Oscar, who was in the limelight.
Although she had had a crush on Charles, now she...
She gritted her teeth.
Thinking of the intimacy between Oscar and Hannah this morning, the affection in Oscar's eyes could not be covered at all, which seemed not to be pretended. Mary was so jealous.
She didn't know why Hannah was so lucky.
Why could Hannah be superior to her so much from birth?
Why could Hannah live a perfect life like this now?
But she, Mary, still had nothing!
"Today's meeting is mainly about dealing with the problems in the sale, focusing on two projects. One is about the unfinished buildings that were abandoned in the 'Huatan' subdivision and the other is about how to acquire investment and business owners to the Light Building." Hannah spoke with an overwhelming aura.
Everyone in the room was quiet.
"Let's start with the abandoned 'Huatan' subdivision. We contracted this project to Radiazer Construction Company, with which we've previously cooperated many times, but its owner has absconded with funds, and the police are out of leads now. So the construction site is abandoned. But I've seen the planning of this real estate. Since its location is the best place in Kensbury City at present, if this project were completed, it would lead to excellent trading. But we're now unable to make everything going according to our plan due to the disappearance of the construction company, which will affect the turnover of the sales department this year, so I will apply to the board of directors for other plans for this project, to let it proceed as usual. Then, there's no more to be said. Everyone keeps it in mind, and gets ready to start the marketing work at any time."
Everyone listened very carefully.
Hannah spoke again, "Yet the problem of the Light Building was especially important. Rose, what is the current situation of this project? "
Rose stepped forward respectfully.
She showed the slides she had worked overtime last night on the screen and introduced, "Here is the progress so far. We've completed the building in one year. It has a total of 12 floors, with nearly 1, 000 shops to use. Presently, 20% of the stores are in operation, which means that there are less than 200 stores occupied, and as far as I know, only 130 are run normally, and others have shut down due to serious losses. And they will terminate the agreement once the contract period expires."
"Cooper Group has invested two billion in the Light Building project and currently gets 20 million back. In other words, the project has lost 1. 88 billion since it started. It is currently one of the projects with the largest loss." Rose introduced seriously, "According to the previous plan, we will recoup the expenses within three years, and the profit will reach 30% of the investment amount within five years. In other words, within 5 years, the revenue of this project will be 2. 6 billion. But according to the current situation, it is impossible."
Finished her report, she came down from the center of the podium.
Hannah looked away from the screen, "Which department was responsible for attracting investment and business owners for this project before?"
"It's us." Mann, the manager of Group A of the sales department, said, "We were responsible for this part."
"Why are we so bad at attracting investment?" Hannah asked.
"Originally, when the Light Building was under construction, the project has gone through with much deliberation. And it was expected to be a popular business circle there. Actually, there were three questions remaining. First, we have difficulties in attracting business owners due to the loss of customers caused by the large-scale demolition of the residential buildings around. And local subway station was canceled so transportation is inconvenient. Second, we aimed to build it as the largest high-end luxury brand shopping mall in Kensbury City, but at present, there is no first-line luxury brand willing to settle in. And we also lose many other brands as a result of the 'Butterfly Effect'. Third, the construction cost of the building is rather high, accordingly, it costs a larger amount of money than ordinary stores to get a place there. Hence the high price would be a hindrance to business owners."
Hannah nodded.
She said, "Mann, I will go there with you in the afternoon."
"OK."
"Now for this project, I will assign the tasks. And before that, I will set our goals." Hannah's stern and irresistible tone.
Everyone was set for her commands with scrupulous attention.
