The Facts
Peel Factor is the leading fruit juice provider in the country.
The company is family owned and has been headed by brothers,
Ted and Kiki, since the untimely passing of their father a few
years ago. Kiki is the face of the enterprise and acts as the
Executive Director of Peel Factor, soaking in all the plaudits for
how well the company has performed. Ted is the reliable right-
hand man who, until recently, faithfully executes his duties as
one of the directors. Unbeknownst to Kiki, Ted has always felt
that he can do a better job than his brother in leading the
company, if given the chance to do so.
Secretly, Ted has been approached by a talent scout hired by
Fresh Inc., who is Peel Factor’s direct competitor. Ted is
intrigued by Fresh Inc.’s offer to head their company and is
tempted by the potential to achieve recognition for his business
sense and administrative ability. He gives his in-principle
agreement to Fresh Inc. to accept their offer. Out of brotherly
love, he decides to inform Kiki first before signing the
employment contract proper.
Unfortunately for Ted, a local news reporter gets wind of the
intended appointment and releases the news via the country’s
premier social media app. Kiki is enraged by this perceived
“betrayal” and goes to talk to Ted, hoping to come to an
agreement on the way forward.
However, once he gets to the office, Kiki loses it and castigates
Ted, calling him “a wastrel and a disgrace to the family.” Ted
tries to ignore Kiki and refuses to speak to him initially. Kiki
then goes on to tell Ted that he “is the reason why father passed
on early,” because Ted “is such a disappointment.” Kiki also
says that Ted is “lousy” and that is why he “failed” at his job,
and that the company would do much better without him, even
though he has no evidence for this statement.
Unable to hold it together any longer, Ted yells that Kiki has
“always been the spoilt favourite family brat” and has only got
so far because he is “tied to mummy’s apron strings.” Incensed
at the situation, Kiki then proposes to buy back Ted’s shares in
the family business for $0.04 per share even though he knows
that the market price is $0.20 per share. Ted shouts back that
Kiki has always been a “bully” since Ted lost Kiki’s favourite
stuffed toy in their youth, even though Ted knows this has
nothing to do with the current dispute.
Kiki and Ted then both claim that they will each hear from their
respective lawyers about this situation.
Inwardly, Kiki is devastated. He has always wanted the family
business to do well and wanted to keep his family together.
Before their father passed, Kiki promised to take care of his
brother and now the family seems to be torn asunder.
Heartbroken, Kiki wishes deeply to keep the promise to his late
father. In fact, Kiki actually thought he was grooming Ted to
eventually take over from him in the near future. Further, he is
extremely concerned about losing his existing clients as well as
his staff, who until now have been loyal to him. In particular,
Kiki is concerned about his long-time staff losing respect for
him.
On his end, Ted has never wished for this to happen. He had
also promised his late father to keep the family together, and
not to harm the family or its business. He had always meant to
come home to Peel Factor after having learnt enough from Fresh
Inc. After all, it was his dream to have Peel Factor do even
better than it has right now. However, Ted feels that he needs to
obtain experience with Fresh Inc. in order to be a credible
businessman. He loves his brother dearly and hopes that their
relationship can continue despite his career path. Ted feels that
making the move to Fresh Inc. can gain him the respect of not
just his peers but also that of Kiki. Also, Kiki remains Ted’s
idol for taking the family business as far as he has but Ted still
wishes to prove that he is a better leader than Kiki eventually.
