Chapter 1327 Saving the Old Economy Industries
Kenton and his associates spared no effort in keeping the Quinnell family out of the Chamber of Commerce, even going as far as to drive a wedge between the Quinnell and Whitman families. Alas, their scheme was a bust.
The corrupted aristocratic families were now filled with dread. For years, they had been exploiting the Chamber of Commerce for illicit gains. They had no intention of relinquishing their control over an organization that so conveniently masked their crimes while delivering swift profits.
As soon as Wynter was named a member of the Chamber of Commerce, some capitalists began scheming against her.
In particular, Kenton's associates were keen to oust Wynter from her position. They couldn't afford to let her restore the Quinnells' public standing, or else they would face their downfall.
In the digital age, even the most prominent businessmen feared a blow to their reputations. If the public learned that they had usurped the Chamber of Commerce - a body renowned for its patriotism-they would face severe repercussions. They mustn't let such a thing happen!
Meeting his associates' anxious gazes, Kenton refrained from disclosing his plan but assured them he had everything handled.
The Quinnell family could revel in their trifling earnings for now. Once Wynter started generating income, she would soon discover her funds were insufficient to fill the financial void.
Deep down, Kenton felt a pang of anguish. His plan would have progressed smoothly if Yvette successfully joined the Chamber of Commerce. To his dismay, she wasn't the brightest bulb in the box.
At that point, Kenton hesitated to heed Yvette's advice on stock investments. It seemned he needed to inquire with the Winston family, who had introduced Yvette to him, regarding her true capabilities.
When Wynter made it past the first selection phase, the faltering companies managed to stay in the running. Although their membership still hinged on the final profit ratio, the businessmen were overwhelmed with thankfulness and gratitude.
While others might deem it insignificant, the businessmen were banking on that chance to save both their factories and employees from the impending crisis. Their failure also meant the values they had long upheld were rendered meaningless.
A man in his 60s approached Wynter and grabbed her hand gratefully. "Thank you so much, Ms. Quinnell. You're truly Gordon's granddaughter."
Believing they had no chance of staying in the Chamber of Commerce, Orson Blaise and his
two fellow businessmen had filed for bankruptcy. After all, the current market dynamics were far beyond their understanding.
They had no idea about younger consumers' preferences and struggled to grasp the price trends. To ensure food safety, they had refrained from tampering with their products.
They also carefully selected fruits cultivated by orchardists and minimized the additives, which in turn shortened the shelf life.
Despite setting the price around three dollars, many still complained about the cost. And yet, those same individuals were content to pay 30 dollars for a drink.
The elderly businessmen knew that the consumers weren't to blame. Instead, they were the ones lagging behind trends.
They understood that many large companies were dismissively reluctant to collaborate with them. Just as Kenton quoted, they weren't as famous as foreign brands.
They were already grateful for Wynter's acceptance, but they never expected to have a chance to stay in the running.
