Chapter 269
Aubree only briefly mentioned her e–commerce concept at the meeting. She planned to establish a new subsidiary dedicated to the sector and would transfer some personnel from Bree Technology to support it when the time came.
Vincent asked, “Ms. Miller, I don’t mean to rain on your parade, but isn’t the e–commerce sector already oversaturated?”
Currently, the largest e–commerce platform was owned by Turner Group, which dominates the mid–to–high–end market. Even if there were any gaps, other emerging competitors could only scramble for whatever was left.
Even the lower–tier wholesale market segment was firmly under Turner Group’s control.
For the first time, Birgitte voiced her doubts to Aubree. “Aubree, isn’t it going to be incredibly tough for us to pull this off?”
Aubree replied firmly, “No. We can do it. The lack of market is only in the mid–to–high–end e–commerce sector. We should focus on the lower–tier
markets.”
Aubree noticed their lingering skepticism and smiled. “Don’t worry. You’ll understand once we get things rolling. Birgitte, there’s something else. Staying in your current position with me doesn’t do justice to your talents.”
Aubree’s chief assistant was Vincent. Birgitte was the highest–ranking assistant under Vincent, also overseeing HR matters, but she could never surpass Vincent’s position.
Birgitte immediately became flustered and blurted out, “Ms. Miller, I’m more than happy working with you!”
Aubree chuckled. “What’s the rush? It’s not like I’m letting you go. I’m setting up a subsidiary for the new e–commerce platform, and I want you to be its general manager. You’ll be in charge over there. You’re the only one I trust.”
Birgitte was a top graduate with outstanding academic records. From the moment she joined the company, Aubree noticed her potential. She started as a junior executive assistant in the President’s office, but Aubree soon rotated her through various departments and found that she excelled in every role she was given.
Aubree had intended to promote Birgitte to general manager when expanding into new business ventures.
“Me? Am I qualified for this?” Birgitte asked, barely containing her astonishment.
“Of course!” Aubree said firmly. “If you trust my eye for investments, shouldn’t you also trust my judgment of character?”
Vincent couldn’t help but offer his congratulations with a tinge of envy, but nothing more.
Alice was the daughter of the Diamonde family in Südlichen Strand. The Diamonde family built their immense wealth through the jewelry business and was one of the most influential families in Südlichen Strand’s business circles. If anyone ever pushed Alice, the highly favored eldest daughter of the Diamonde family, too far, there was no way the Diamonde family would just stand by and do nothing.
