Lín Wēi only realized when she died that having a sister-favoring mother would cause so much damage to her family.
Her father fell from a great height and died. Her younger brother went mis...
In the world of fashion design, plagiarism is a very serious issue.
First of all, it infringes on the hard work of designers.
Then it infringed on the compensation for the designer's hard work.
In short, the plagiarism scandal has stirred up a great deal of waves.
Seeing that the storm couldn't be quelled, the two had no choice but to consult Lin Wei.
Zhang Min was indignant. "These designs were all created by me. Your aunt saw them, and Weiwei, you saw them too. How could I possibly plagiarize them? Besides, they have no evidence at all."
"When it comes to 'airborne plagiarism detection,' the person making the accusation isn't necessarily genuinely convinced that you've plagiarized. They might just think that your brand is making money while the other brand is making less money, and they want to insult you to lower your brand's credibility and thus eliminate a competitor."
"But this is too despicable," Lin Xiaomeng said angrily.
"But this is normal. Wasn't Zhongguo Burger in the same situation a few years ago? If I hadn't handled the public relations quickly, the burger shop's reputation would have been ruined long ago, and it would have taken a long time to recover."
"What about here? Is there any way we can do something about it?" Zhang Min asked hurriedly.
"Did you apply for the copyright for each sample garment that I asked you to apply for before?"
Lin Xiaomeng and Zhang Min nodded repeatedly, "We applied. You said you wouldn't skip this step just because you think it's complicated."
Lin Xiaomeng suddenly realized, "Once the copyright is registered, it becomes our own. If I bring out all the copyrighted materials from before, who can argue with us?"
"Then invite people from the TV station and newspaper to come over. Have the new products for the new season been developed yet?"
Zhang Min nodded blankly, "Everything is ready, and everything has been registered."
"Perfect timing. Hold a press conference, present evidence to clarify the situation, announce the launch of new clothing, and give your brand a boost. Spend more money, bribe reporters and TV station staff to get them to say good things about you."
In this era, if they are in the right, money can easily get these things done.
The two had been doing business together for several years, and Lin Wei's explanation made it clear to them.
"It really is Weiwei. Your aunt and I have been thinking about this for days and we don't know how to resolve it. We were hesitant to ask you because we knew your work at the architecture institute wasn't going too well." After saying that, Zhang Min glanced at Lin Xiaomeng and asked, "Weiwei, your work at the architecture institute?"
"Yeah, it's all over. I've gone back to my own company. Oh well, Jiangcheng is only so big, and there are only so many projects. Even if I don't work on my company's projects, I can't avoid Shen Jize's projects anyway. Why make things difficult for everyone because of work? Otherwise, it will only damage the goodwill we had at the beginning."
-
The next day, Zhang Min and Lin Xiaomeng began preparations for the clarification meeting.
The two approached newspapers and television stations, and, as Lin Wei had instructed, began to cultivate relationships.
And the people from those two organizations naturally wouldn't refuse.
Simply put, it's a hot news topic. After all, this matter has caused quite a stir, and they want to see how this brand can turn the tide.
Three days later, at the press conference.
To avoid any accidents, Lin Wei also stayed by her side, keeping a close eye on the whole process.
Zhang Min was dressed beautifully and fashionably, and she even had all the sales assistants in the store put on the store's newest products and stand next to her.
He then said, "At this crucial time when Hong Kong is about to return to China, I am deeply sorry that I have taken the spotlight by a brand incident."
"Regarding the plagiarism issue, I would like to clarify that 'Feishang' women's clothing has never plagiarized clothing from other brands. I have proof of my registered copyright. Everyone should understand that whoever holds the copyright owns the clothing."
"Actually, I initially thought it was too tedious to do all this, since registering copyrights costs money. But when I thought about how things might get complicated years later due to design issues, who could explain it?"
"Who would have thought that it wouldn't even take a few years? My clothing store had only been open for a few years when this scandal broke out. Luckily, when I registered the copyrights, I registered all the clothing items. The clothes that people say I copied are listed at the top of this copyright register. Below them are the ones that people didn't mention. You can check them now to prove my innocence."
"But here, I would like to add that 'Feishang' women's clothing only makes intimate and comfortable women's clothing, and the clothes worn by these beautiful ladies next to me are the store's newest products for the season. I have named them Nirvana. The Nirvana series will be a brand new beginning for our brand. I hope that after dispelling the plagiarism rumors, our new products can be reborn and achieve glory again."
This passage undoubtedly brings the story to a climax.
'Fei Shang' clothing mainly features designer brands, but because the two designers price their products reasonably, they have a very large customer base.
Seeing that all the evidence had been presented, no one bothered to examine it closely; everyone was already busy looking at the new clothing line in the store.
It's as if that whole thing never happened.
Lin Xiaomeng gave Lin Wei a thumbs up, "It has to be you."
"That is...."
The problems that became commonplace in later generations, although the solutions changed from short video platforms to television stations and newspapers, still followed the same pattern.
But Lin Wei remained modest, saying, "It's only possible if you do as I say. Without these registered copyrights, it would be impossible to achieve such results in such a short time."
Lin Xiaomeng said, "It's different. You deserve most of the credit. By the way, Weiwei, your Aunt Zhang and I have discussed it. The name 'Feishang' clothing was originally taken from 'Very.' We thought it was suitable before, but now we think it's a bit too ordinary. We thought we'd take this opportunity to change the name."
"What's changed?"
“Nirvana.” Zhang Min walked happily to Lin Wei’s side and said.
"ha."
Lin Wei was a little confused at first, but she quickly understood. "Oh, why didn't you say this decision earlier? You could have promoted it at the same time."
“That was my initial thought, but we also have to follow your requirements. Every piece of clothing has our brand’s label on it. The previous labels had the word ‘Philippines’ printed on them, and with so many clothes in the warehouse, we couldn’t possibly change them all. So we decided to wait until the next season’s clothes come out and then change them all at once.”
"That's fine too. You can decide for yourselves. Or, if you make money, hire a celebrity to cut your hair and hold a press conference so that it will be widely known."
The two of them were immediately intrigued.
"That's a great idea, that's fantastic! Vivi, you always come up with the best ideas."
"Exactly, we were just agonizing over this, but now it's all good, we can just use it directly."
This is the celebrity—
When that time comes, just invite whoever is popular, since celebrity appearance fees won't be that expensive anyway.
