"Dad, mom is so busy every day, but you don't even talk to her."
In the hotel restaurant, Tang Jin pouted with some dissatisfaction. His mother had just arrived in the capital and left shortly after putting down her luggage without even eating.
"It's not like you don't know your mother's temper. She can't take any time off at all. She came to the capital this time to attend a clothing industry conference. Otherwise, you would think she would come to the capital. I think what she is most afraid of now is coming to the capital.
"
When he said this, Tang Ming glanced at Su Wang. His wife knew that since some of Su Wang's careers were exposed, his wife had emotional problems. He also knew where the problem was. The most important thing was that he
There is still no way to persuade me.
My wife has such a strong personality, this kind of thing can only be digested by my wife over time and she won't mind it anymore.
My wife put down her luggage and left, so she was hiding from Su Wang.
"Mom knows how to make all the money in this world when she is busy with business. As long as the family lives happily, that's all."
Tang Jin was very dissatisfied, and when Su Wang, who was picking up vegetables at the side, heard this, he paused with his chopsticks. Xiao Nizi could not be hinting at him.
Suggesting that he neglected to care about her because of work?
Su Wang thought about it carefully, and it seemed that he had indeed failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a boyfriend. Other boyfriends always stayed with their girlfriends, going out with their girlfriends on weekends, etc., and then just eating, watching movies and going on dates.
, I have not done any of these myself.
It seems that I have to change my itinerary.
…
"Mrs. Tang, I'll be waiting for you at the door."
In a five-star hotel in Beijing, a Rolls-Royce parked at the door of the hotel. Xia Lan listened to the driver, nodded, and replied: "Then it's your fault, Master."
These two Rolls-Royces were naturally one of the fleet that Su Wang found from Wang Kaige. After learning that Su Wang was driving to pick up his future father-in-law and mother-in-law, Wang Kaige directly said that these cars would be used in the future.
Leave it to Su Wang.
Su Wang finally chose to keep one car, because there were so many cars that he couldn't use at all. As for his father-in-law, he came to the capital this time to attend a meeting. Tomorrow, a subordinate of the city's agency stationed in Beijing would come to pick him up.
So the car left behind was naturally for the mother-in-law’s exclusive use.
Xia Lan got out of the car and attracted the attention of several men as soon as she got off the car. The luxury car was already eye-catching, and what’s more, what stepped out of the car was an exquisite and charming strong woman.
Walking into the hotel lobby, there is a poster signature wall on one side of the lobby, which reads "Guest sign-in area for the founding conference of the China Women's Garment Industry Association."
This association was prepared by Xia Lan and the owners of several women's clothing companies. The reason why this meeting was planned was because everyone was planning to join a group to keep warm.
The women's clothing market is different from the men's clothing market. There are actually only a few brands in the domestic men's clothing market, because men can't buy a few sets of clothes all year round, but it's different for women. Women want to buy clothes all year round.
Therefore, the competition in the women's clothing market is fierce, and now with the emergence of the e-commerce industry, many clothing companies have been greatly impacted, and many consumers will choose to buy cheap clothes online.
Most of these clothes are purchased directly from the factory, and the price is naturally much cheaper than those in clothing stores. In this form, they who are women's clothing brands decided to pass some agreements at this meeting.
, let’s unite together to get through the cold winter, instead of continuing to compete with each other.
"Mr. Xia, Mr. Li and the others are discussing matters in the lounge right now. You come with me."
After registering her name at the check-in desk, the staff at the check-in desk immediately led Xia Lan towards the hotel's lounge. When Xia Lan stepped in, there were already many people here.
"Hey, Mr. Xia is here."
"Mr. Xia, you are getting more and more beautiful."
There were about a dozen people in the lounge. Except for the three ladies, the other men's eyes lit up when they saw Xia Lan walking into the lounge.
A fat man immediately walked up to Xia Lan and extended his hand. However, Xia Lan did not shake hands with him, but responded with a smile: "Mr. Li, you are getting richer and richer."
Xia Lan has dealt with almost all of these people present, because that's all the women's clothing companies in China are doing well, but she doesn't have a good impression of Mr. Li.
This guy is a pervert. In the past few times when we dealt with each other, he would be accompanied by a young girl, who was in her forties or fifties, and a mistress who was the same age as his daughter. She was not ashamed to show off everywhere.
Swagger.
How could I shake hands with such a person?
After being rejected by Xia Lan, Li Tai's expression turned gloomy for a moment but soon returned to his original state, still smiling.
"Mr. Xia, everyone is waiting for you. Come and sit down quickly."
"The last time I met Mr. Xia was last year. Now, one year later, Mr. Xia's demeanor is even better than before."
As soon as they saw Xia Lan arrive, these men surrounded Xia Lan. The three female bosses showed dissatisfaction on their faces. Men are superficial and only care about appearance.
Xia Lan responded to these greetings with a formulaic smile. She was already very familiar with how to deal with such a scene because she had dealt with it too many times.
"Okay, we are here to discuss business. We are not here to reminisce about the past. If you want to reminisce about the past, we can just open a room and talk slowly."
A middle-aged woman wearing a red cheongsam spoke. Perhaps it was to highlight her figure. The cheongsam worn by this woman was relatively tight-fitting, but because she was relatively rich, she wore a cheongsam with a thick circle around her belly, which made her look even more...
Bloated.
Xia Lan's expression turned cold after hearing the other party's words. She knew the person speaking, Ge Mei from Jiangnan Pearl Clothing, who was also an old rival. The two had become enemies because of the issue of copied styles.
"If some people can't wait any longer, they can just leave." Xia Lan responded coldly.
"Haha, everyone gathers together to discuss things. Let's calm down our anger and make money by being harmonious."
Someone stepped forward to smooth things over. The person speaking was an old man in his sixties. Seeing this old man speaking, Xia Lan no longer looked cold. This was a senior boss in the clothing industry, so he still had to give him face.
A group of people sat down at the conference table in the lounge. Everyone was a director this time. The meeting was held in advance to determine the candidates for the presidium for tomorrow. Of course, there were some other things to discuss.
"Now, I believe everyone has realized the impact of e-commerce on our traditional clothing industry. Our meeting this time is about how to deal with the impact of e-commerce."
The old man spoke first. After he finished speaking, he glanced at the audience and said, "I am an old man. I don't know much about the Internet and have no right to speak. You go ahead and speak."
"Then let me talk about it first."
Li Tai was the first to speak, "As for e-commerce, I also asked the company to investigate. These online stores get the goods directly from the factory and get the wholesale price, but because they don't need to open a store to pay rent,
, and there is no decoration fee, so the price is lower than what we sell.”
"Actually, the way to deal with them is very simple, that is to eliminate them at the source. Aren't they wholesale clothes from clothing factories? We just need to reach an agreement with the clothing factories and not allow them to get the goods."
"Mr. Li, what you say is easy, will those garment factories agree? Will they make money or not?"
"Of course they will make money if they have it, but what if we let them make a choice between big customers and small customers?"
Li Tai showed a confident smile on his face and said: "We people occupy nearly half of the domestic women's clothing market. As long as we unite and know which clothing factories and online stores supply goods, we will blacklist them. I
I believe these garment factories will have to think carefully about this."
"It's a good idea. We occupy the brand market. In contrast, there are many unbranded products in China. In third- and fourth-tier cities, these clothes are in greatest demand, but the profits will be lower.
"
Another man spoke up, directly refuting what Li Tai said. Anyone who makes clothing knows that it is almost difficult for a clothing factory to survive relying on its brand, because as the brand gets bigger, it will start its own factory.
Most clothing factories do OEM for OEMs. To put it bluntly, they accept everything, and then those clothing brands use it for their own OEM.
So there will be a problem, that is, in the clothing market, there is actually no so-called design at all, because if you design it, as long as you find it not your own clothing factory, but other clothing factories, as soon as the picture is sent, it will be done.
It was stolen and imitated by other clothing companies.
The reason Xia Lan had a grudge against that woman was because the designer of Xia Lan's company designed a batch of new clothes, but when they were finally put on the market, she discovered that her rival had the same style, and it was a day or two earlier.
This shows that when the company's design drawings arrived at the garment factory, they were leaked out by the garment factory.
"These methods are not reliable. I personally suggest that the best way is for us to also enter the e-commerce market. With our brand effect, we can definitely outperform those no-name brands."
"It's impossible. If we enter the e-commerce market, what will happen to our offline physical stores? Everyone will buy online, and physical stores will not be open in the future. If physical stores are not open, the brand influence will slowly decline.
of decline.”
Listening to everyone's exchanges, Xia Lan frowned a little every day. This is the biggest trouble these clothing brands are currently encountering.
It’s not that they resist e-commerce, it’s that e-commerce is attracted because of its cheap prices, but they do have physical stores. If online prices are cheaper than in physical stores, then who will go to physical stores to buy?
Without physical stores, how can they maintain their brand? Therefore, e-commerce actually has the greatest impact on medium-sized brands like them.
Those big-brand luxury goods and the like don't care about them at all, because the people who buy these clothes only go there for the brand.
