Previously on Why?
IMADE
Hey! I didn’t know you were back
ANN
You didn’t actually think I will miss convocation
IMADE
With law school and all, I thought you won’t be able to make it
ANN
Convocation happens once in a lifetime, I won’t miss mine the way Wemimo missed his
EPISODE 148
Let
talk IPO
INT. KINGS- AFTERNOON
Imade opens the door to a room and finds Wemimo,
Shehu, Aunty Bebii, Onome, Mama Ruka, Tolani with some other unknown people
already seated round an oval table.
WEMIMO
You are late
IMADE
I am sorry
She
goes to sit at the helm of the table next to Wemimo
IMADE
Please continue
WEMIMO
So, with a gladsome heart, I announce to you all that,
the new administrative building has been completed
Everybody
claps their hand
BINTU
That is good news, we should celebrate
WEMIMO
In due time
AUNTY BEBII
When do we move in?
WEMIMO
The interior decorators are starting work there next
week, we should move before the end of next month hopefully
TOLANI
What about the second factory?
WEMIMO
Preparations are been made towards it but right now,
we need to demolish all the buildings erected on the lands we have acquired.
After which a town planner needs to properly plan the layout of KINGS
TOLANI
Can we fast track all of this, we need to start the
underwear line soon
WEMIMO
We are moving as fast as we can and I said I need to
see the proposal for that
TOLANI
This is it
She
stretches one of the files in her hand to him
WEMIMO
I will look through it, I heard the bidding for the
NYSC contract will start soon
TOLANI
Yes, and we are working towards it but I have an idea
WEMIMO
What is it?
TOLANI
How about we make bids for other States?
WEMIMO
You are saying we should add other states to that of
Oyo state
TOLANI
Yes
AUNTY BEBII
We don’t have the resources for that kind of a project
TOLANI
We always find a way around it, don’t we?
WEMIMO
Is it even possible? Bidding for other states
BINTU
Of course, the whole country is wearing our product,
we should even bid for the whole country
TOLANI
I am meeting the First Lady about it soon, she is
going to introduce me to the NYSC General Coordinator
WEMIMO
Okay then but just for other states, we are going to
kill ourselves if we bid for the whole country
TOLANI
You said you will pick a date for the launch of the
footwear line
WEMIMO
I am yet to decide, I will get back to you on that
BINTU
When is the clothing catalogue going to be released?
Everyone
turns their focus to Imade
IMADE
I am so sorry for the delay, I have just been slammed
with the private collections design, the catalogue will be released before the
week ends
MAMA RUKA
Are their designs good enough?
IMADE
Actually, they are good but I might have to twig some
designs. It will be available before the week ends
TOLANI
And speaking of private collection, when are we going
to release the First Lady’s collection, people want it
IMADE
According to the contract I signed, they remain
exclusive for a year and in two months, it will be a year. It can be released
then
BINTU
Do we even have to make every private collection
exclusive, like the marketing director said, people want them?
ONOME
We are making millions from private collection, one of
the reasons why the rich love them is because they are exclusive
BINTU
Alright
SHEHU
We…we…we… nee…need more ta…tailors
WEMIMO
Mama Ruka, I need you to get the best tailors from the
Native section
MAMA RUKA
What about the Native section? They will be
short-staffed if we take from them
WEMIMO
Tell Oga tailor to send us his best
AUNTY BEBII
The last time we asked him to do that, it took a while
before he released them to us
WEMIMO
Pay him more money, he will release them
IMADE
Have you thought about starting a tailoring school?
All
attention focuses on the young CEO
WEMIMO
I am listening
IMADE
It might take a while before we start seeing result
but students from this school can always work here when they graduate
AUNTY BEBII
Like a vocational school?
IMADE
Yes
AUNTY BEBII
This can work, that way we don’t have to depend on Oga
tailor for tailors. Shehu can be even ran it
WEMIMO
Marketing Director?
TOLANI
I will look into it
BINTU
I think we should start getting our product directly
from the producers
WEMIMO
What is wrong with Madam Kofo?
BINTU
We are already producing more than she provide for us,
it makes sense to start getting our materials directly from the producer
WEMIMO
Do that but it has to be her producer. As little as
Madam Kofo is, she provides us quality product, I want us to continue using
those product
BINTU
I will do that
WEMIMO
Or better still, set up a meeting with Madam Kofo,
maybe we can set up a deal
BINTU
What kind of deal?
WEMIMO
Instead of buying from her, pay her to buy for us from
her producers
BINTU
That way we don’t have to go through the stress of
ordering from the producer
WEMIMO
Yes
BINTU
That is smart
WEMIMO
So how about we go into the main agenda today
BINTU
And what is that?
Wemimo
looks at Imade and nods to her
IMADE
We are going
public
A loud gasp erupts from the group and the sound of
hands jamming together is heard. Wemimo raises his hand and the clapping stops.
He looks at the happy faces of his employees
WEMIMO
Now, let talk IPO
TOLANI
Say I want it, I am still a married woman, I need to talk with my husband before accepting the job
WEMIMO
The same husband that you have trying to talk to for over a year but won’t speak to you
TOLANI
That is because he is not in the country, he will be returning soon
WEMIMO
That is if he still wants you
TOLANI
And what does that mean?
