Chapter 476 The Competition Began
Clifford didn't care even if Heavenly Star Enterprise would think that Sy Corp copied their theme for the product showcasing. Even if they complained people would not believe them as they didn't have proof.
Besides, Sy Corp was the first one who showcased the products. Aside from that, their model was the famous Angelique Rioz. She had many fans and supporters that would support Sy Corp rather than the Heavenly Star Enterprise.
Heavenly Star Enterprise gained hatred from Angelique's loyal fans when they heard about the banning issued by the company against the supermodel. They would surely attack and bash the Heavenly Star Enterprise after this event for copying Sy Corp's theme.
Heavenly Star Enterprise originally planned to showcase their jewelry and their jewelry designs were based on the Twelve Zodiac Signs. Upon knowing this from Angelique, Clifford changed their items and decided to go for jewelry as well.
"Aside from poaching our model, Sy Corp even copied our theme and design! They are shameless!" Another director couldn't help but express his displeasure against the Sy Corp.
"What are we gonna do now? You should have anticipated this, CEO Davis! Argh… I feel like leaving already before our whole company gets humiliated in front of these people!" Director Go started to blame Tristan.
Tristan was too lazy to defend himself. He just pretended he didn't hear their complaints. He just averted his gaze at the stage. Just a few more minutes and he would see his wife soon. That's what he was looking forward to.
Since Tristan didn't say a word, Andrew was the one who pacified the angry directors.
"Gentlemen, just calm down. The event is not yet done. Don't jump to a conclusion. Let's just relax and watch the show. Sy Corp did a great job of surprising us tonight. I have to commend them."
"My Grandson is right. This is nothing to fuss about. If you will start pointing fingers at each other then Sy Corp will succeed. Pretend that you are not affected. Remember… Cheaters never win," Grandpa Lu joined the conversation.
Since the Chairman had already spoken, the directors finally stopped complaining. They just tried to hide their anger and displeasure, following Grandpa Lu's advice.
Soon, Clifford joined Angelique on the stage. He started to talk about their products.
"These are the twelve jewelry collections of the Sy Corp. The designs are based on the 12 Zodiac Signs."
As Clifford continued to speak, the items were being flashed on the screen. He started to name those pieces of jewelry and to what Zodiac Signs they belonged to.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have here are the Sy Corp's Limited Edition Astro Jewelry Collections. We only have 50 pieces per item in which one per item will be given to our audiences who are watching this Gala in the City Plaza. With that, we will only have 49 supplies per item left for you to order."
Loud cheers could be heard inside the venue. Almost everyone was interested to buy since those pieces of jewelry were limited edition.
"These collections of jewelry are the best choice to gift your loved ones, both family and friends including your lovers. Aside from that, we have a nice freebie to those who will order from us." Clifford glanced at Angelique Rioz who was beside him. Angelique Rioz just flashed her sweetest smile.
"You will also get the latest Magazine featuring our famous supermodel Miss Angelique Rioz along with her autograph," Clifford informed everyone.
Angelique giggled after hearing the cheers inside the venue. She waved at them while blowing a kiss. She was using her charm and it was very effective. She was quite popular in the crowd, not only in the country but also abroad.
"Now, let me introduce to you our twelve collections. We have here…"
"Aries Black Ball Pendant, Taurus Golden Charm Necklace, Gemini Mother-of-Pearl Bracelet…"
"Cancer Golden Charm Anklet, Leo Silver Lion Earrings, Virgo Gold and Black Pearl Earrings…"
"Libra Silver Chain Bracelet, Scorpio Ring and Cuff Link, Goddess Capricorn Earcuff…"
"Gold Diamond Sagittarius Ring, Pisces Azzorre Bracelet and Aquarius Hoop Golden Earrings."
Everyone's eyes lit up upon seeing those sparkling collections. They were truly magnificent in their eyes and they were tempted to buy everything. Clifford also told them the prices of each item.
After Clifford was done with his speech, he returned the microphone back to the Emcee. The Emcee announced that the guests could now start placing their order if they wanted to buy something.
The Guest gave them ten minutes to decide and choose what items they would buy. The usherettes were gathering those orders and would tally them first before giving the result to the Emcee.
After that, the emcee would announce to everyone how many items the guests ordered. With this, they could calculate how much income the company generated tonight and how much would be donated to the City of Empire's development projects and charity works.
This company would boost the company who would gain more compared to the other companies. It would become a great advantage for the name and popularity of the companies.
After a few minutes of waiting, the usherettes handed over the result to the emcee. The emcee's eyes widened in surprise after seeing the result. Sy Corp got an excellent result compared to the other companies that showcased their products moments ago.
"Oh my gosh, I can't believe what I am seeing in this piece of paper right now!" The emcee said dramatically, taking a pause to give the audiences and the Sy Corp's members a little bit of suspense.
Everyone was waiting for the announcement including the other directors of the Heavenly Star Enterprise.
"Sy Corp's Limited Edition Astro Jewelry Collections is…. SOLD OUT! All 49 items!" declared Emcee, clapping her hands.
Loud cheers and noise could be heard at the table of Sy Corp's members. They were rejoicing. Everyone was giving them a round of applause. Clifford and Angelique shook their hands, congratulating each other.
Then Clifford glanced at Heavenly Star Enterprise's assigned table with a triumphant smile on his face.
'The victory is ours tonight… Tristan Davis.'
