The Hero

Chapter 276 There Will Always Be Hope

Javier rushed to the factory the next morning. However, it was not only because he had to go to work but because he wanted to wait for news from Quinna.

'Quinna said that she was going to report it to the chairman today last night, but it's 10:00 now, so why hasn't she said anything yet?

Javier knows that he should not be in a hurry with this situation. Instead, he had to calm down and wait for her, which he actually did. However, he could not help but still feel a little anxious.

In fact, Javier wasn't the only one feeling anxious at the time. Quinna is too.

He arrived at the company that morning.

After meeting with the chairman, he explained the hydrogen fuel propulsion system to him.

Walt Schrader, the chairman, was very excited. As a veteran in the automotive industry, it is only natural that he knows what the introduction of hydrogen fuel propulsion systems means and what their impact will be for the market.

However, it was not his own company in the end, nor did it belong to a single person. Therefore, this issue needs to be discussed with others from top management before it can be resolved. Coincidentally, they were going to have a meeting that morning, so Walt planned to raise the matter up for discussion during the meeting.

As the chairman of the company, it was not easy for Walt to reveal his true intentions as it would involve too many levels.

Therefore, he asked Quinna to take over and bring up the topic to be discussed. He will also introduce everything about product profit margins, market research, their future brand development, and their influence. In fact, he was also asked to provide a rough comparison of what the company's sales and expenses would look like in the future.

However, it was clear that Quinna had put in a lot of effort for the matter as she was able to explain everything seamlessly.

In addition, the people present at the meeting were veterans in the automotive industry, so they could understand how much influence this proposal would have on the future of the company.

If only from the company's point of view, this would indeed be an amazing thing, especially when they are able to save all development costs, which may be a huge advantage.

However, there are still many other issues to consider, not just the surface value. As they save on this development cost, they will have a much weaker grip on this product.

After Quinna finished explaining her proposal, Walt saw the higher-ups sitting before him. "Does anyone have an opinion on this extraordinary proposal?"

"Unbelievable" was more than enough to show Walt's stance on this proposal.

Still, there was someone who expressed his dissent—Jesse Hanson, the company's deputy general manager.

"Trs. Schrader, I don't think this is right. In the end, our company is not a conventional company, which I believe everyone understands well. In addition, the products of our company have a certain level of influence in the country, a sentiment.

“Now, what we are dealing with is using outsider technology to manufacture our cars, even to the point of changing brands. Therefore, I don't think this is appropriate. Instead, we must maintain our conventional power on our products and simply equip our cars with our own technology.

“This is the only way that we at Heisenberg Group can continue to enjoy our greatest success, and this is also our biggest responsibility as a member of this company!”

Jesse's statement earned him a huge following.

Everyone started to support his statement, some even criticized Javier for his arrogance. They thought they were good to him by offering 30% of the profits, but Javier dared to take 70% instead, thinking him crazy.

Quinna was furious when she heard all this.

He wondered if this arrogant Javier or these higher people in front of him were.

Since its inception, the Heisenberg Group has built a vision where their products will be known across the country.

Their reason for this is because the Heisenberg Group is a high-end brand whose products cannot be driven by just anyone.

At that moment, Quinna was furious. 'If they want to take this company to the highest peak, why are they riding the A8' to show off their wealth?

'Is it because the cars of the Heisenberg Group are too far away that they are not worth driving, perhaps?

It is precisely because you are a hypocrite that caused this company to make very expensive cars, refusing to look for ways to make them cheaper.

* Our car is too expensive for those who want to buy it but too not worth the price for those who can afford it. We have directly sent our market out of the door thanks to this.

Now, we will receive the support of new technologies that could revolutionize the industry, plus they are even willing to assume the responsibility of duplicating the Heisenberg Group. Isn't this an amazing thing?

However, you idiot turned down this opportunity, especially you, Jesse! You even claim to want to maintain our conventional power in our products and simply equip our cars with our own technology? It's bullshit!'

Quinna is not a fool, nor is she a blind woman. They have to spend millions and millions of capital to develop their current technology, but why is there no return after all that money has been spent? Moreover, their development team consisted of foreigners.

'You call this our own technology? It's bullshit! That's complete bullshit!'

Quinna begins to retaliate openly against Jesse, using the effects that Javier's technology will bring to their company. He also pointed out how their current development team is filled with foreigners and their companies will not rely on their strengths to equip their cars with their own technology.

Jesse just laughed at him and waved his hand. "You're just making baseless arguments right now."

It was enough for Jesse to make Quinna fall silent.

He felt as if he had memorized the entire multiplication table, only for someone to tell him that he had misread it and that he would not listen to it any further.

'I'm making baseless arguments? How!?'

Quinna angrily threw the documents in her hands onto the conference table. “Instead, I think that you are a tall and mighty person, where all you have to do is say the words, and something can be considered reasonable or not instantly, Hanson Deputy General Manager. Any word you say will make you invincible, even the strongest person in the world!

Jesse is so unhappy that he will forever be stuck as deputy general manager no matter how hard he works his whole life because of his last name. And now, despite the fact that she's already stuck with the post, Quinna is even bringing up her entire title, sounding as if she's deliberately making fun of her insecurities.

This was especially after Quinna stated how she would become invincible with a single word and become the strongest person in the world. Clearly, it was nothing more than him scoffing at him for a blind reason.

Jesse had a cold expression as he looked towards Quinna, who crossed his arms in front of her chest with a hostile expression. “Nona Aurum, this is a business, not a children's playground, and certainly not a place for children to go berserk. If there's something you still don't understand about this, you should go home and ask your father for guidance.”

Quinna becomes even more enraged when she can understand the hidden meaning in Jesse's words. “I came to this company solely based on my own ability. It has nothing to do with who my father is! Unlike someone I know, who managed to enter this company suddenly without showing the right ability and is now doing something that suits his status!”

Naturally, Jesse was the one Quinna was talking about.

At that moment, Jesse's angry expression changed. But just as he was about to reply, Walt suddenly spoke up.

"Enough. Miss Aurum doesn't know our company rules yet because she's young, but you're a completely different matter, M 1. Hanson's. Why are you arguing with him? This is a meeting between upper management, not the market, for the two of you to argue. If you have a problem, I recommend leaving the room and handling it. Otherwise, we will now continue the discussion of hydrogen fuel propulsion system.”

Jesse who was standing, sat back down. "good. I've made my stand. I don't agree with this proposal, the discussion is over.
