Please Let Me Go novel Chapter 152

This time, however, Antonio didn't stop anymore, but went on to speak, "So, we decide to..."

Antonio announced the decision made in the board meeting yesterday.

For a few seconds, the venue became still. Antonio's voice was amplified through the microphone and everyone present heard what he said.

All the reporters' eyes popped. They couldn't believe what they had heard.

They all knew how much losses the Baron Group would suffer if it did recall all the cosmetics it had sold in the past two months.

"In fact, we have gone into action. Yesterday I informed the General Manager of our cosmetics department, asking him to give all the wholesalers and retailers a notification: we will recall all the cosmetics produced and sold in the past two months." Antonio didn't care about their shocking expression, which had been in his expectation.

When it was the Question and Answer session, a female reporter in a dark blue shirt was the first to stand up and ask Antonio, "As we all know, the cosmetics of the Baron Group have always enjoyed a good reputation in J City. Which part do you think went wrong, leading to the quality problems of this batch of cosmetics?"

Antonio smiled. This was the question that he wanted to hear most.

"I hope you can understand that the reason why we recall all cosmetics in the market is not that we believe this batch of cosmetics has quality problems. Our main purpose is to dispel the panic among consumers."

At this point, Antonio paused for a while before continuing to say, "I wonder if you've ever thought of this issue. The Baron Group is a popular cosmetics brand and most of the girls in J City are using our products. Even the sales volume of our cosmetics in other places has maintained a steady increase every year."

"Then why, with such a great amount of consumers, only seven or eight girls came to our company to make trouble and claim that our products have quality problems?"

Everyone was stunned because of his words. They really didn't think about it. To be more accurate, they did not notice this problem, or even deliberately ignored it.

After all, in the opinion of most reporters, it was the most important thing to dig deep into sensational news.

Antonio didn't leave much time for them to think and put on a serious expression, "Ladies and gentlemen, I don't mean that these girls are trying to frame us, but I'm sure now that this incident is related to commercial competition."

"Mr. Antonio, who wants to frame the Baron Group then?" someone in the crowd asked.

"I have some evidence on hand, but it is not sufficient. So, I cannot say it now. But I, Antonio, promise here today that if I found sufficient evidence one day, I will make it public."

In fact, GMS was most suspicious of Alvin, his uncle. But now, the Baron Group was in the line of fire, so he didn't want to let people know that there was an internal strife in it.

"Mr. Antonio, since you consider this incident to be caused by commercial competition, then in your opinion, the cosmetics in the market should have no quality problem. What I want to know is that, since you think there is no quality problem with these cosmetics, do you think it worth it to cost hundreds of millions of dollars just to eliminate the panic of consumers?" another reporter asked.

Actually, Antonio didn't like to talk too much at ordinary times. He wouldn't utter two words if he could use only one. But today, he had talked too much.

Moreover, he had to continue to say a lot of words. Otherwise he couldn't end this incident. Antonio was also helpless over it.

For example, he was really unwilling to say the following sensational words. Although he was not purely a businessman, as he said, he had always been reluctant to make everything about him public.

"The Baron Group was founded by my grandfather. Over the past few decades, it has grown from an unknown small workshop to the largest company in J City. During this process, I should thank the numerous consumers who supported our company."

"Indeed, it will cost us a lot to recall all the cosmetics, but we hope to see the smile on every consumer."

"Moreover, although I personally think that the skin care product incident is related to commercial competition and that someone had plotted it behind the scenes, I can't confirm at the moment whether the mastermind just replaced the cosmetics bought by the girls or had already arranged for someone in our company to do something in the place where the quality inspection was conducted."

"If that's the case, there may still be defective products in the market. Even though I believe that our employees are loyal, I still choose to recall those cosmetics out of caution when it comes to consumers to be responsible for every customer who supports us."

After Antonio finished speaking, he stared at people in venue confidently.

A few seconds later, they responded with thunderous applause.

Today's press conference was broadcast live on the local television station in J City as well as on the internet.

The Baron Group was influential in J City. Just two days after the skin care product incident happened, it seemed as if everyone in J City had known it.

Everyone was equally interested in how Antonio was going to deal with it. After all, people in C Country liked to be lookers-on.

At the same time, hundreds of thousands of people had watched the live broadcast of the Baron Group's press conference online.

Don't underestimate this number. Although the Baron Group was a large company, its influence was gradually becoming weaker from the center of J City. In spite of this, there was still hundreds of thousands of people watching the live broadcast. It could be seen that many people in J City were paying attention to this incident.

What Antonio said was naturally heard by numerous onlookers. The young women, who had bought the cosmetics of the Baron Group, cursed it angrily for being so vicious that it sold products with quality problems yesterday.

But after hearing what Antonio said today, most of the people changed their opinion.

Especially when they looked at Antonio's gleaming eyes through the screen, they totally forgot how they complained to their husbands or friends about the Baron Group yesterday.

They were deeply attracted by Antonio, a handsome man.
