Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 1470

"When I mentioned a stable customer base, I meant that most of their clients are regulars, and many of them have connections to Darcie or the Saun family," said Vermont.

"If you want to profit in the world of jewelry and precious stones, you either cater to the high-end market, dealing with those willing to pay a premium price, or target the mass market. That's where you find products made from discarded materials, skillfully polished to mimic the real thing.

"The Velvet focuses on the high-end market, and Darcie's connections serve as her entry to that exclusive clientele. As for the mass market, Darcie thinks it might dilute the brand image, so she avoided it. They’ve already established a stable relationship in their high-end market.

"I don't think so. But if word gets out about the poor performance, there will be grounds for doubting your capabilities no matter which company he entrusts to you in the future. That won't bode well for your management position," Keegan explained.
