Zhang Yu stood silently to the side, feeling that he couldn't fit in with them at all.

Almost all the ideas were made by Wan Qing alone. When she came over, it seemed like she was just there to listen. She really wanted to tell Wan Peng that since they all thought Wan Qing was right, then Wan Qing should just run the factory by herself. Why did she have to help out?

However, Zhang Yu's parents felt that this was a great opportunity to train her in how to conduct herself and handle affairs. Opportunities are rare and hard to come by these days; getting things done is not so easy.

It's relatively easy for military and political families to find a basic position, but it's rare to go straight into management, unless you have exceptional skills, like Lin Xiaoxiao, who can handle many things at once. Zhang Yu has such an opportunity, so why not take it?

Furthermore, this matter wasn't something they asked for; Wan Peng brought it up himself, which shows that the Zhang family is quite satisfied with Wan Peng.

Because of Zhao Jiu and Wan Li's affair, the Wan family was affected to some extent. They even considered whether to break up Zhang Yu and Wan Peng. However, seeing that the Wan family was showing signs of political withdrawal, and that the factory was thriving and they were making a lot of money, the Zhang family hesitated.

Living with a wealthy family would be a good choice for our daughter. The Zhang family has more power than the Wan family now. Wouldn't our daughter have more say in the Wan family and be less likely to be bullied?

Not only that, but they can also enjoy a very wealthy life. The Zhang family has power, but they are short of money. With Zhang Yu marrying into the family, maybe they can also make some money in the business world in the future?

Seeing that Wan Peng was willing to let Zhang Yu manage things, the Zhang family was quite satisfied with Wan Peng. These days, it's rare for a man to be willing to let a woman manage such things.

When Orange Light was first established, it found an inconspicuous unit and operated under that unit's name. However, the units created within it did not belong to that unit, but to Wanli and his group.

The current contact person has changed to Wan Qing and his team.

In other words, the profits generated by this factory belong to the Wan and Wen families, unlike what Lin Xiaoxiao was busy with, where the bulk of the profits went to the military.

It's impossible for them to earn tens or hundreds of dollars a month. With that little money, wouldn't it be better to just stay at home and relax?

Even a dog wouldn't do this job, let alone Wan Qing.

In just this short period of time, they have already made a profit of around 30,000 yuan, a figure that Wan Qing and his team did not expect. Who would have thought that such a piece of clothing, which only has a profit of a few yuan, or at most a dozen yuan, could generate such revenue.

Even with the price being reduced, Qinglv not only sells for a higher price but also takes longer to sell, which shows how amazing the profit margin of Qinglv is.

Therefore, factory expansion is a must. Orange Light doesn't necessarily want to take over the entire market share, but it should at least seize half of it.

Now, they want to sell copied designs, and they also want to make high-end clothes.

When Lin Xiaoxiao discovered that Qinglv's sales had been affected, she immediately asked the factory's accountant to calculate how much profit the factory had lost, which turned out to be nearly 50,000 yuan in revenue.

This 50,000 is not a small amount, unlike in later years. Wangjia Village only makes a few thousand yuan in profit a year. With 50,000 yuan, how much more salary could be paid to so many brothers?

If this money isn't used as bonuses, it could be used to manufacture quite a few guns...

Seeing these numbers, Lin Xiaoxiao frowned. "The Wan family and the Wen family are really something. They're blatantly robbing us while we're dealing with foreign businesses. If they dare to do this now, will they build even bigger factories than us in the future and start selling nationwide?"

Ren Jianguo nodded in agreement: "As long as they're not stupid, they'll get to this point sooner or later."

That's how business works. Once you find that what you're doing is feasible and profitable, the first step is to scale up the business to ensure you can sell more and generate more profit.

This infuriated everyone. They weren't against healthy competition, but they absolutely wouldn't allow others to climb to the top by stepping on them. If that happened, they would feel like they had a mouthful of dog shit stuffed in their mouths.

Lin Xiaoxiao pondered for a few seconds and said, "Find a few quick-witted and sharp-tongued brothers. Go to various supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores. Whenever someone chooses Chengguang, you spread the word that Chengguang is just a factory that only copies others. They steal designs from others, this is malicious competition, and the managers behind it are despicable..."

People nowadays don't have much awareness of copyright, and whether they really care about it is something Lin Xiaoxiao can't change. But from now on, Lin Xiaoxiao will imprint in their minds that Orange Light is a thief, a factory that only knows how to steal.

If the reputation is bad, the rest is up to the consumers to decide.

As for the Wan and Wen families, Lin Xiaoxiao plans to visit them personally. The factory has lost so much money; it can't just be left like this.

She planned to go to the Wen family to get the money she had lost back.

Ren Jianguo and the others knew Lin Xiaoxiao's anger, but they had to go to the Wen family to handle this matter, and getting the money wouldn't be easy.

“Sister-in-law, even if we have evidence that they made money off our designs, how do we measure or reason with that? Besides, it’s registered under the company’s name. If we make a fuss, and they don’t admit it, there’s nothing we can do.”

The Wen and Wan families are not to be trifled with. If Lin Xiaoxiao goes there like this, she will definitely have a whole host of reasons to refuse.

“Since they’re acting like petty people, we don’t need to act like gentlemen either,” Lin Xiaoxiao replied. She never intended to reason with them to resolve the matter.
