Kingsley , enough with the theatrics .
If youve got something to say , spit it out .
Because when it comes to products , markets , and business strategy , I’m in the stratosphere while you’re still stuck in the dirt .
Kingsley gave him a long , emotionless stare .
Let me get this straight you said the key to success is targeting the wealthy because rich people don’t care about price , right ? Michael lifted his chin .
Exactly .
Thats what I call superior business acumen .
Michael let out a cold snort .
Thats right .
This is my top tier business insight .
Short and simple .
Quality is found in simplicity .
He continued , Take everyone here , for example .
None of you are exactly broke .
If you see a car you like , are you really going to sit there crunching numbers ? No youll sign the papers and drive off .
When you go out to eat , does it really matter if the bills 1000 dollars or even 5000 dollars ? As long as the foods good and you’re enjoying yourself , youll happily pay , right ? One of the executives immediately chimed in , Mr. Rhodes is absolutely right .
These days , I don’t even look at price tags .
If I like something , I buy it .
Another manager eagerly added , Exactly .
Wealthy customers don’t stress about prices .
The only thing that matters is whether they want it .
A third executive even went as far as bragging about their extravagant lifestyle , boasting about how easily they spent money without batting an eye .
Kingsley shook his head and laughed .
I don’t know whether to call you guys clueless or just plain dense .
You all keep talking about how wealthy people buy things because they like them .
But what makes someone like a product ? Its not the price tag its the quality , the appeal , and the craftsmanship .
Now let me ask you something are Banes three so called miracle products actually top tier? Are they game- changers in the market ? Do they outperform the competition so convincingly that people can’t resist buying them ? The room instantly fell into silence , and even Tiana was frowning .
Michael , however , gritted his teeth and snapped , Our products may not be the absolute best on the market , but theyre definitely top tier .
And more importantly , were targeting high income customers .
Kingsley gave a mocking nod .
Okay , lets assume you’re right and call them top tier .
Now answer me this if your production costs are sky high , that means your prices will be , too , right ? Michael straightened his back and smirked .
Of course .
High production costs mean higher pricing .
And higher prices mean more money out of those wealthy wallets .
Thats the whole point .
Kingsley clicked his tongue , shaking his head in disbelief .
Wow .
Im genuinely impressed .
I didnt think anyone could publicly admit to being this dumb and still sound so proud about it .
Look around you countless pharmaceutical companies are producing better quality products at a fraction of your costs .
And you know what ? They don’t jack their prices through the roof .
Why ? Because even the most successful companies know that price gouging is a surefire way to lose customers .
But here you are , with ridiculously high costs , deciding to go head to head with established competitors by slapping luxury price tags on your products .
Honestly , whoever came up with this strategy mustve spent years recovering from a brain injury .
Lauren cleared her throat and said , Dr. Baldwin has a valid point .
If our costs are that high , our profit margins will automatically shrink .
And with our premium pricing , why would customers choose our products when equally good if not better options are available for less ? Consumers arent stupid .
Theyll always go for high quality products at fair prices .
Thats how the pharmaceutical market works .
Kingsley let out a low chuckle .
Exactly .
It doesnt matter if you’re rich or broke nobody likes feeling ripped off .
Why would a wealthy customer pay a thousand dollars for medication when they can get an equally effective alternative for half the price ? Michaels face twisted with frustration .
Thats not a big deal ! If necessary , well match our prices to the competitions .
Well sell at the same premium rates as the top brands , and since our products are just as good , well still maintain a competitive edge .
Itll be an even playing field at worst .
Kingsley sneered .
I call you an idiot , and you’re still trying to argue .
Amazing .
Youve got sky high production costs , and now you’re planning to get into a price war with competitors who can undercut you without breaking a sweat .
The moment they lower their prices , your so called strategy will collapse like a house of cards .
Michael opened his mouth to respond but came up empty .
His face darkened as he struggled to find a comeback .
The other executives exchanged uneasy glances .
They wanted to defend Michaels point , but they simply did not have the knowledge to counter Kingsleys logic .
Even Tianas eyes narrowed slightly as she mentally reviewed the Pharmaceutical Divisions current situation .
Kingsleys analysis had exposed a glaring flaw she had not fully considered before .
All right , Mr. Baldwin , Tiana said , leaning slightly forward .
Since you see the problem so clearly, what would you suggest we do to gain an advantage ? Kingsley stretched and gave a lazy yawn .
The solutions pretty obvious .
Either reduce production costs or develop high quality products that nobody else can replicate .
Everybody knows theres only one guaranteed path to massive profits offering something no one else can .
In other words , what you need is … a monopoly .
The word seemed to suck the air out of the room .
A monopoly ? Rhodes Corporation did not have the power to pull that off .
In fact , few companies did .
Even the wealthiest families hesitated to claim control over an entire industry or market .
Kingsley smirked as he took in their stunned faces .
Since were on the topic , let me give Mr. Rhodes and the rest of you high level experts a free lesson .
Michaels face darkened further .
The executives bristled at the condescending tone but did not dare speak up .
Kingsley had already left them speechless once , and nobody wanted to step into the line of fire again .
Even Tiana shifted in her chair , her curiosity piqued .
However , Kingsley did not immediately continue .
He simply leaned back , crossed his arms , and yawned again , looking completely uninterested in the discussion .
Sitting beside him , Lauren raised an eyebrow , torn between amusement and frustration .
The rest of the boardroom grew increasingly tense .
One of the executives snapped , What the hell is this ? Mr. Baldwin , if you have something to say , then say it .
Cant you see Mrs. Rhodes is waiting ? Kingsley slowly turned his gaze toward the man .
