After booking the flight tickets for the day, they packed up after leaving. The two of them took the car to the pier first. Shen Manman stood on the coast, the golden sunshine bathed her, her long hair was tied halfway on the top of her head, and Zheng Ziye was tied to give it to her. Her green hair ribbon fluttered with the wind.
After a long time, Shen Manman held his arm and smiled lightly, "Let's go."
The figures gradually disappeared, the dock was still busy, and no one seemed to notice them.
After a while, a large ship docked. The sailors on the ship came down to replenish fresh water and food, and a thin, dark-skinned man stepped out.
The sun was scorching so hot that one could hardly keep his eyes open. At this time, a dock worker came over and said, "Hey, Lei Zi, come here. I have something to tell you."
The man walked over with a cigarette in his mouth, "What's the matter?"
"Recently, several groups of people have come to ask me about you, Leizi, tell me the truth, have you offended anyone?"
He frowned slightly, with a touch of caution, "What did you say?"
"You told me that if anyone inquires about your whereabouts, just say that I don't know you. Of course I did as you said, but I'm still worried about you. By the way, a man and a woman just left."
"Female?"
"Yes, she has big eyes and fair skin. Anyway, she is very pretty. I have never seen such a pretty girl."
The man's terrifying gaze was filled with murderous intent.
The worker immediately shut up and said, "Don't look at me like that. It's scary. Why don't I just say it?"
He took a long drag on the cigarette and said with a disappointed look, "If someone asks me in the future, you can continue to tell them this, thank you."
After saying that, the man strode onto the boat again.
He hid in the cabin, sat cross-legged on the ground, and took out a crumpled photo. The little girl in the photo seemed to have not yet grown up, her face was full of childishness, and the boy beside her smiled brightly. He made a bunny ears gesture behind his back.
The man looked at it and smiled, "Manman, brother misses you so much."
As soon as the scene changed, Shen Manman and Zheng Ziye had returned.
After walking around for a while, nothing happened, but something seemed to be changing subtly.
Shen Manman barely had time to repair herself when she was called away by Eve.
Rushing to Zhongjia urgently, Eve was waiting at the door. Seeing her coming, she hurried forward and said, "Lisa, you are finally back. There is an original jewelry brand called Mingzhu that is crazy about plagiarizing our designs. I have asked the legal affairs department to The department sent a lawyer's letter accusing them of plagiarism.
But their lawyers believe that they are just borrowing, not plagiarizing. However, each of those styles and designs has only slight changes and substitutions in materials. Therefore, their jewelry is sold two-thirds cheaper than ours. .”
"Have you investigated this company?"
Eve followed her closely, "After investigation, it was found that this was originally an original jewelry studio with no reputation. It had always been selling various high imitations. The sales channels were some small jewelry stores or online sales. Way.
This is a sudden increase in scale, and it is openly engaging in a price war with us. As a result, our advantage is almost nonexistent."
When she arrived at the office, Shen Manman took the information from her hand and saw that their company's design was exactly the same if you didn't look carefully.
But if you think about it carefully, you will find that there are many differences, and it seems that not every place can be said to be completely the same.
With such a marginal design, even if it goes to court, the probability of winning is not very high.
"How are the sales at the store lately?"
"Sales performance fell by one-third." Eve didn't dare to continue talking, but now that things have come to a point, she can't stop talking.
"Lisa, the Mingzhu store is either opposite us or on the same street as us. Moreover, there is a counter in the mall."
If Shen Manman couldn't see such an obvious targeting, then it would be all in vain.
"You go out with me."
"good."
Shen Manman chose the nearest store, and sure enough, Mingzhu's store was directly opposite.
Not only that, their employees also hold activities at the door, making it easy for people to come over.
She took off her sunglasses, looked at the sign opposite, and walked straight in.
The counter lady was very enthusiastic and the service was very good. She handed over the iced coffee directly and said, "Madam, what would you like to choose? Let me introduce it to you."
Shen Manman directly refused her coffee, "I drink tea."
"I don't have tea. Can I have juice?"
"No, let me take a look at your styles."
She hurriedly walked to the counter. Almost all of them were models that were only available in Zongjia. There was even a limited edition designed by Shen Manman herself.
Seeing her eyes lingering on it, the counter sister hurriedly took it out and introduced it to her, "This is the best one we bought. You are really discerning."
"I've seen this necklace in Langjia."
"Oh, you're talking about Langjia. Let me tell you, they all copied our designs. Regardless of how famous they are, the more famous a company is, the more they steal and cheat. Their designers I often come to our studio to buy designs.”
She said it seriously, so I heard her say again, "Moreover, this necklace is a limited edition in Zhongjia. We don't limit it, and the price is cheap. Why go to Zhongjia and make a lot of money."
Shen Manman is a jewelry designer, and she can see through the materials at a glance. She said coldly, "It's cheap because your materials are different. The one from Junjia is inlaid with diamonds, but yours is made of moissanite. I can't fool you." People who know jewelry can do it, but no one who is an expert will be fooled."
The shopping guide was stunned, he had met someone knowledgeable.
She smiled and said, "Women are born with a love for jewelry. What kind of clothing goes with what kind of jewelry? Instead of spending a high price to buy one, it is better to spend the same price to buy ten. Madam, not all women are like that." Rich people are willing to spend a lot of money."
After saying that, the shopping guide ignored Shen Manman and went to receive other customers.
She shopped around again, and all the almost expensive materials had been replaced with other similar materials, without exception.
Shen Manman walked out, and Eve saw her expression was bad, "Lisa, what should we do?"
Go back to the company first, we will discuss it in the long term.
After a busy day at the company, Zheng Ziye waited until after ten o'clock in the evening to pick her up from get off work.
As soon as Shen Manman went out, she first saw the dark sky, and then she saw Zheng Ziye sitting in the car.
After opening the car door and getting in, Shen Manman said distressedly, "Why don't you get up and wait for me."
"I'm afraid it will affect your work. It won't matter where you wait anyway." Zheng Ziye started the car and asked casually, "What happened?"
"Hey, people are afraid of being famous, but pigs are afraid of being strong. Suddenly a jewelry brand called Mingzhu appeared. The design is almost the same as ours, but its price is ten times cheaper than ours. The market share is so huge. Many customers will choose Langjia. It was just for design. This time there was a replacement, and 30% of the customers were lost."
