My Dreamy Old Husband

A sense of resentment? How could I, Lucy Edwards, possibly feel a sense of resentment toward those two subpar, inferior teams? They aren’t worth my time; I don’t care about them at all. If I harbored resentment toward nobodies like them, I’d probably end up hating half of the world. My business is huge, and my income is in the millions; I’d rather spend the time earning my money than hating on losers like them. Despite this, Lucy still wanted to know the reason she had lost, so she gave Alice a call.

Alice picked the phone up personally and provided Lucy with an explanation. “Miss Edwards, I’m sure you must be disappointed to hear the results. Objectively speaking, it’s true that you are the most capable one among the rest of your competitors—there’s no questioning that. However, there’s something else that you have to understand. The Michel Group itself has a really qualified sales team, various channels of exposure, and 30 years of experience in successful sales across the entire globe,” Alice said.

Lucy scoffed, “So what are you trying to say here?”

“The reason we decided to find an agent for our low-end phones is because our prior successes have always been in the field of high-end technology. We don’t have any experience in marketing low-end products, and the strategies employed for these two fields differ greatly. That’s why we had to find an agent that would be suitable for marketing low-end phones. You, Miss Lucy, are the same as us; your success has been limited to the high-end markets, so it’s not what we’re looking for,” Alice explained.

“I want you to respond to Serpent and tell them that I agree to be the sole agency for their handphones in the whole of Cethos!” Lucy gave her orders to her secretary through the phone in an icy tone. Serpent phones were one of the oldest brands in the market. It differed from Dragon Eye as it didn’t maintain its public image as a high-end phone. Instead, it went for a more people-oriented, friendly approach that categorized itself as a mid to low-end product, and its price was about the same as Dragon Eye’s low-end phones. The Serpent brand had gathered a huge amount of popularity across the globe, and it was one of the most widely sold handphones in the world. Once Dragon Eye entered the low-end market, Serpent would be one of their strongest competitors.

their previous agency in Cethos had just expired, so they approached Lucy and offered her the opportunity to be their exclusive agent in Cethos. They wanted to heighten the standards of their brand with the use of the Edwards Family’s connections and channels. Since Dragon Eye was starting to up their game in the market, Serpent felt threatened by it and therefore wanted to seek out a more powerful agent within the region. Lucy hadn’t

That was why I gave up on her in the end,” Alice muttered quietly. “Lucile has more talents in her team. They have the Fletchers, the Mitchells, the Winstons, and even some other families; networking won’t be a problem for them. More importantly, Lucile is familiar with the key factors that drive low-end markets—bombarding consumers, pestering them, and creating opportunities in regions that seem like there aren’t any opportunities. That is exactly what I’m looking for. High-end products thrive in a seller’s market while low-end products deal with a buyer’s market, and I need agents like her to handle sales in a buyer’s market. She’s someone who’s capable of seeking opportunities to promote her own products, and she’s able to lower her ego and pride in order to achieve her target! This is something that Lucy will never be able to accomplish, because she takes pride in placing herself up on a pedestal. All of the people in her team aren’t prepared to lower their ego and pride,

purchase them; they had to find ways to attract customers to come to them. They therefore needed a thick-skinned sales team that would do their all in order to boost the sales of the phones—for example, a sales team like Plum Technology. Although they knew that Alice didn’t want to give them a chance, they still gave their all in fighting for the position. They used all their connections to pester and swamp
