"So, why don't you guys set up a club?" He said tentatively after a few seconds of thinking.
It could provide them much-needed experience on how to manage sothing valuable. It would also strengthen their relationship in the future, stating they didn't make each other jealous.
" Samuel! That's a great idea! Can you tell us more about it?" Joseph asked. It was an intriguing proposition.
" It's not so novel. Many places have such a supercar club, but it will depend on the market. I am sure there are smaller versions of clubs in LA, and the larger ones are mostly controlled by so large corporations."
" You are right. My father's dealership sotis holds these showcases where we try to imitate European car shows to market our new arrivals." Joseph sotis attended such conventions.
" But that doesn't seem like a club. I an, Sami must have a reason to call it such?" Paige asked.
" You are right. Such places didn't have a sense of familiarity, in my opinion. With the right condition, it could be a massive thing." Samuel added.
" Can you elaborate?" Before Samuel could continue, Joseph chid in with another question.
" I was going to say it. Never mind, the first rule should be that you guys had strict mbership rules to recruit new mbers." He paused, looking to see if they were listening.
" Of course, they must have a decent supercar first. You could arrange soone to look into their background, too, just to be sure."
" Is that necessary? Didn't that stop many people from joining?" Soone asked. Wasn't it too excessive?
" Not really; you might get a few bad apples if you were too lenient with these things. There could be soone joining to harm the people inside the club. It's human nature."
" I see."
" You should listen to him; he has the best experience out of everyone here. It's not easy running a large corporation!" Paige added so unnecessary things.
" Paige? They don't need to know about everything! Also, to make it unique, you could organize so activities and events monthly to bring so sense of familiarity. If everyone works hard, sooner or later, the club will have its due growth. Who knows? Maybe it could also beco the largest supercar club in the entire States?"
Hearing him made them extrely excited. What it's like to be the best in the whole country? They didn't know a thing, but at least they would have a goal to strive toward. It also didn't look too far from being feasible.
" I get it now. We could also set up a dedicated supercar showroom and park so cars inside, right?" Paige said.
" Isn't that counterproductive? They would be worn cars; I don't think there is a high market for second-hand cars?" Joseph didn't know what she was talking about.
" You are wrong. I think Paige gets what I am trying to say. These cars would be a great way to tell the club's story. After all the club activity and presumably so racing, they would like tokens of the past. It would not be for selling but for promoting similar cars that the club could sell on the side. You have to have so inco to sustain all the expenses." Samuel was impressed Paige got his idea.
The girl had a business mind; it was expected, as Samuel had seen many tis when he started such topics she would often co up with so far-reaching ideas.
Samuel's plan was to let these supercars circulate easier in the market. Many wealthy people bought such cars for the brand na, but enriching their experience would result in the club giving them a new perception because they buy directly from their company.
The profits might beco astronomical if it beca famous among the Arican second generation. They only needed to execute the plan with careful consideration.
Other people were not stupid; they also understood what Paige was trying to say earlier. They were sure it would be a key point in the future.
The US had the world's largest number of car enthusiasts anywhere in the world. If they could build up an entire club, it would attract more such people.
Moreover, the specifications were also higher than normal, with special requirents for new mbers. It would an whoever joins would be a second generation or other social elite.
" That's an amazing idea. Most of the ti, we don't get a chance to drive our vehicles. It also happens that many of us own several of them; if we can make money off of them, that would be great. It's killing two birds with one stone!" Soone said.
" Sooner or later, it would snowball into sothing extraordinary!"
Everyone began to discuss among themselves; saying they were excited was an understatent.
" Samuel, it was you who proposed the idea. Everyone here would not mind if you nad the club." Joseph made a tactful decision while looking at him with hopeful eyes.
Others might not understand his intention, but what he was trying to do was to tie Samuel's na with the club.
Samuel had many identities, and the power behind him was even more shocking. As soone from the most prestigious family in the world, there was absolutely no disadvantage in having such a character in the club. It would definitely give them so head start.
How could Samuel fail to see through Joseph's intentions? But it was not a bad proposal. He knew Paige would be at the helm, so he wanted to help her.
" How about SOC? An acronym for Supercar Owners Club?" He said after pondering for a while. He went with a shorter version first because everyone would probably rember it. It was easier to rember.
" SOC?"
"Supercar Owners Club?"
Many nodded, hearing the na; it was not tacky or overly complicated. It sort of rolled down one's tongue.
" Hold on! Isn't that too simple?" Paige asked.
" What do you suggest?"
" Sothing more powerful like Pinnacle car hosting? Isn't that domineering?"
" That sounds la." While everyone laughed, Samuel got a little closer to her to whisper.
" Remind not to ask you for a suggestion while naming our kids."
" What- you-" Her mind exploded. It was basically short-circuited by his crude tease.
Everyone else also noticed her getting redder and redder; they asked if she was alright, to which she could only nod. She would need so ti to recover from his destructive blow.
" Our main goal would be to connect like-minded people and provide an experience they could not get anywhere. Also, I think we should limit our numbers to five hundred people, after which we should stop recruiting. What they should be the cream of the crop!" Leaving her aside, Samuel continued with his plan.
His words made sense; it was better to not have a cluster besides how they would preach exclusivity with many mbers. Scarcity was what drove the price in any field.
" Samuel, then you can be our first president. I don't think anyone would disagree. You also ca up with the idea, the club na and the rules. It's only fit for you to be the position of president." Joseph said seriously.
He was not trying to force it on him, but when compared to him, everyone else looked pale. He was charismatic and obviously had so leadership skills; Joseph was certain he would do great as the club president.
However, Samuel didn't want to accept it. It would be too tireso to manage on top of everything he had been working on in the background. He was sure he would not be here most of the ti. It would reflect poorly on their establishnt if the president was always gone.
He looked toward the side; he had to perfect candidate in his mind.
" Thank you for your kind word and offer, but I think Paige would be best suited for the position. She had a business mind and would be present here most of the ti."
Everyone knew Samuel was magnanimous, but they didn't expect he would not even think before rejecting such a position. It was a tempting proposal, but he instead recomnded Paige in his place.
But when they thought about it, it all made sense. Paige was already like their leader; she led most of the second-generation circle in the city and was always loved by everyone.
The main point was Samuel and her relationship; no one knew what it was. They did see her kiss him fervently earlier in the afternoon, but after that, they stayed and talked like friends. Neither of them addressed it or even acknowledged that it happened.
But whatever the case, they knew they were synonymous; it didn't matter who beca the president as long as they stayed 'friends'.
" We don't have any objection."
Paige, who woke up from her stupor, looked at Samuel tenderly. She knew the position would be quite lucrative in a few years, but he gave it up for her. She had to do her best to prove his decision was right!
Thus, they began prepping. Paige quickly got into her position; she began thinking about the venue to rent, the logo and other things about promoting the club. It was only a verbal arrangent, but it was very well thought out on her part.
Samuel was impressed again by her adaptability. She was no less than Maia, a business prodigy or Iblis, who had trained since she was a child.
It gave him a different perspective that even top beauty could hold their own in such fields. They were not just there to look pretty. Even Paige considered a 'party' girl, could do it if she tried.
