Chapter 694: Chapter 690: Aldo Lewis’s Wishful Thinking
Mason Lilliput pointed at Aldo Lewis, speaking to his nephew Nico Lilliput.
“You see, Master Lewis is so capable. You should learn from him in the future!”
Nico Lilliput poured more wine for Aldo Lewis.
Mason Lilliput then asked Aldo Lewis, “Is there any way to sneak some goods into the factory area?”
Being associated with the Lewis Group had a high reputation in the surrounding countries, and if they could sneak in, they would definitely be able to get through safely.
However, Aldo Lewis shook his head quickly.
“Mr. Lilliput, you can forget about that. Although Roy Lewis has passed away, the whole set of supervision systems he established is very sound. It’s not just us, even Roy Lewis himself would have a hard time smuggling in goods.”
It’s just like the incident in the factory area this time. On the surface, it seems like an accident.
Moreover, it was a minor accident with minimal losses.
But the higher-ups took it very seriously, and the pressure and responsibility were passed down through layers of management. Even though it was a small accident, they still set up a special investigation team.
With this level of accountability, middle-level officials were reluctant to risk their generous salaries.
Mason Lilliput was slightly disappointed, “But according to you, the small businesses in The Lewis’ Village are not very impressive.”
Mason Lilliput had put in a lot of effort to win over Sebastian Lewis, Aldo Lewis, and their siblings. He wanted to corrode the roots of the Lewis Group and the Lewis family.
But after spending a lot of effort and money, he found out that these siblings were not the main foundation of the Lewis Group, not even considered the finer branches.
The Lewis Group is clearly a large conglomerate, but he and The Thompsons spent years searching, yet remained unable to find the right approach to conquer it.
He originally thought that with the fall of Roy Lewis, and Richelle Dunn, a novice manager, taking his place, it would be the best time for them to take over.
However, Richelle Dunn seemed to be a wicked genius. She was just a small doctor who knew nothing, but once she sat in the highest position of the Lewis Group, she managed it well-organized.
At first, Mason Lilliput thought she was lucky, and with the support of Nathan Caroule, she could survive for a while.
As a result, months after Roy Lewis’ death, her position as the CEO of the Lewis Group became more stable without any signs of falling apart.
The entire operation of the Lewis Group remains orderly and impregnable.
Aldo Lewis found a new way for himself and naturally promoted it vigorously.
“Mr. Lilliput, don’t underestimate the businesses in The Lewis’ Village. They are the source of wealth and foundation from which the Lewis ancestors built their fortune.”
Aldo Lewis spoke grandiosely, but Mason Lilliput was not a fool.
“It’s a traditional industry, but even Roy Lewis didn’t care about it. I guess it doesn’t have much commercial prospects, and can only rely on maintaining it to make a living.”
Aldo Lewis moved closer, trying his best to please.
“That’s because Mr. Lilliput didn’t put his heart into it. If you took it seriously, think about these KTV tourism businesses. They are, after all, part of Federation chain enterprises, with hundreds of stores. With a real intention to do business, isn’t it an intact sales network?”
Mason Lilliput was somewhat persuaded. He had initially looked down on it because he compared it to the massive Lewis Group that could drive overseas markets.
Now that the Lewis Group was removed from consideration and he thought carefully, the businesses in The Lewis’ Village seemed like a good sales network.
“Hmm, I’ll have to think about this when I get back. Also, I have another question.”
Seeing Mason Lilliput soften, Aldo Lewis couldn’t hide the joy on his face.
“What question?”
Mason Lilliput was resourceful. Since Aldo Lewis took the initiative to connect with him, he had someone inquire about the businesses in The Lewis’ Village, even though he didn’t think it was worthwhile.
“I heard that Richelle Dunn went back to The Lewis’ Village and was provoked by your village’s elders and a middle-level manager to cause a stir. However, not only did it not happen, but Richelle also planted over a dozen spies in the village. Now the villagers have become obedient. Is that true?”
Fucking hell!
Aldo Lewis cursed inwardly, then laughed it off.
“Such a trivial matter is not worth mentioning. If she wants to establish her authority, let her do it. The villagers aren’t fools. They’ll play along to appease her, but at the bottom, they still earn money and do business as usual.”
To prove his words, Aldo Lewis came prepared tonight.
He took out an iPad, opened a report, and handed it to Mason Lilliput.
“Mr. Lilliput, take a look. This is the store I tried out in the west of the city. Last month, I sold so many goods!”
Mason Lilliput took a careful look and smiled after finishing.
“Not bad. This one store alone could sell this much, and it’s even a new product. This is indeed delightful news.”
Aldo Lewis became even more enthusiastic as he leaned in to explain in detail.
“Right? I’m still new to this, so I just tried to stock the shelves. Who would have thought that it would yield these results? Just imagine, Mr. Lilliput, if we were to expand this nationwide, not every store will have this volume, but it surely won’t be too bad in total, making it a considerable amount.”
