At the same time, in a conference room on the 43rd floor of the Watchman Building, the lights were bright and the atmosphere was oppressive and tense.
The Southeast Region headquarters of Arcadis Sporting Goods is located in Miami, so it does not have a dedicated office building in Atlanta. They only rented five floors in the Watchman Building as the office space of the Atlanta branch.
And this urgent meeting at six o'clock in the morning was full of tension from the beginning.
Abraham Archibald, president of Arcadis Southeast Region, also stared coldly at everyone present with hawk-like eyes.
"Everyone, you should have read the latest sales data, right? I would like to ask what you think?"
"This is really a disaster, Mr. President. I can't believe our sales are down 45% year-on-year."
The first person to speak was the company's regional marketing director, a man wearing a red tie: "As for our opponents, their sales in Atlanta alone reached 700 million gold shields yesterday, and a small half of their sales were
From a lucky bracelet.”
"I think we should come up with countermeasures. We can no longer sit back and watch the situation continue to deteriorate. Facts have proved that Ibi Bryan's tricks to avoid fighting will not help us change the situation."
"There is also James Langster. He has been making nonsense in the media recently, blaming our equipment and saying that we tricked him into taking drugs with unknown effects, which led to his defeat. Now our public relations department is busy all day
Fire extinguishing, but this has limited effect, and it has a great impact on the image of our company."
"I think there is no better way now than to beat him head-on in the ring."
"Is it possible? It's difficult. I've asked many experts, and they all privately believe that his fighting talent is very powerful. They just say so in the media in a unified way, and they take advantage of the bookmaker."
"He is indeed very strong and can be ranked as a monster, but because he is only sixteen years old now, he has not reached the level of Felton Williams and Glynn Adams."
Everyone here is dressed professionally, except for the sturdy middle-aged man sitting at the end of the conference room who is wearing a suit of armor. He puts his hands on his knees and sits upright like a soldier: "My evaluation is
As long as his sword speed reaches 500 kilometers per hour, then all the high school students in Atlanta are no match for him."
"What about our Cadio Rhodes? It's not that he is very capable. Once he uses 'Ancient Retrospection', he has the ability to rival those monsters."
"I have already asked, and he is not willing. Student Rhodes is not willing to trade his future and prospects in exchange for this victory. In fact, he neither takes James Langster seriously nor does he think An
Andre Lee Wildenstein has the ability to beat him. Like those gamblers, he was confused by the comments in the media and thought that Andre was just lucky——"
"Shit, didn't his coach analyze the situation for him? How can a guy who can use the skill of borrowing force at level five rely on luck?"
"This is going to be very difficult. If even Cadio Rod can't snipe him, then in the short term, we can only watch helplessly. EMM, in fact, there is another way to avoid losses and let other sports equipment manufacturers
The endorsement contestants suffered a disastrous defeat at his hands. This can at least expose James Langster’s lies and restore some of the impact.”
"This is really a stupid way to get everyone to die with us, isn't it? In this case, that guy's popularity in Atlanta will be unparalleled."
"Mr. President, Nathan and the others found a treasure."
This is an elegant lady, but her eyebrows are now tightly frowned into the Chinese character Sichuan: "This Andre Lee Wildenstein, both in terms of image and temperament, or his background.
The designs are all the best I have seen in recent years. I conducted a survey among women who have bought lucky bracelets. Many women fell in love with Andre just by looking at his face. Then those matchmakers
They publicly publicized his background and his achievements as a top student, which made them feel sympathy and admiration. The scene of him defeating James Langster was also very cool and touching. They did find some very good photographers.
And the editor. As several gentlemen said, there is really no good way at present, and his popularity will be unmatched. So I want to know, what suggestions does the headquarters have?”
"The statement from the headquarters is that if the management of the Southeast Region cannot handle this matter within a month, the company's human resources director will formulate a position adjustment plan based on the current situation."
Abraham Archibald's face was livid: "The board of directors' instruction is that no matter what method we use, we must restore Arcadis Sporting Goods' share in Georgia to 80% of September's sales."
Everyone present not only looked at each other in confusion, but some even murmured to themselves: "No matter what method you use?"
"so--"
Just when Abraham Archibald was about to say something, his assistant suddenly walked to the side of the conference table and whispered in his ear.
Archibald frowned, and finally took the mobile phone from his assistant and walked to the empty lounge next to him.
"Mr. Jacks, do you have something to say to me?"
"Yes, Mr. Archibald, I heard that you have been very troubled recently, because of that lucky Andre? So, do you need our help, my friend?"
"Wow, the word friend is really kind. We haven't met each other a few times before, right?"
Archibald laughed: "Tell me, Mr. Speaker of the Atlanta City Council, do you have any good ways to help me?"
"For example, persuading Cadio Rod? Sometimes what you can't do, other people can do it easily, right? For example, a guy wearing bloody gloves. We can even find a way to make Cadio
·Rhodes’ combat power has doubled. Mr. Archibald, you should know our capabilities?”
"Recently, Dwight Payton has indeed been promoting your true identity throughout Atlanta's upper class, saying that you are a priest of the Cult of the Dragon."
Archibald's words were cautious: "I think if this is the case, you do have such an ability. As far as I know, the Dragon Witch Cult is recognized as one of the most mysterious sects with a high accumulation of magic and alchemy.
"
"So I can help you solve the problem you are facing now. After that, how about you owe me a favor? I need your connections in the political circles to give me some help within my ability."
"But I know that Antonio from the Blood Hand has been beaten to a pulp in the past two days. Did you offend Nathan? I heard that the real culprit behind the Craig Community Bank robbery was actually a certain surname.
Wildenstein's kid? Listen, Mr. Jacks—"
Archibald said in a cold voice: "I don't care what method you want to use to deal with that lucky Andre, and I don't want to know. In short, it has nothing to do with me, okay?"
"Mr. Archibald's temper was that of a god of thunder."
The laughter of Cressy Jacks in the receiver was deep and low, and full of sarcasm: "I think you must not know that your head office has issued a recall order to Alexis Boleso from the Asia-Pacific region.
You don’t have a month left, do you understand?”
At this moment, Abraham Archibald's breathing suddenly became rapid.
