Chen Qing transmigrated into a period novel, becoming the aunt of a beautiful, strong, and tragic villain.
The 'beautiful and strong' parts were inherent to the villain; the 'trag...
Chapter 719 Triple Attack
Secretary Zhang's expression changed drastically.
Other clothing factories in China have tried to imitate their brand, but the sales results have been extremely poor, leading to many embarrassing situations, and as a result, almost no one is selling their products anymore.
But now...
Even the cheapest wholesale markets are starting to copy these products. Will this affect their business?
The two special envoys obediently crossed their hands in front of them, with no other intention than to see Chen Qing make a fool of himself.
Chen Qing took out his money and asked Secretary Zhang to buy a batch to take back to the factory: "While you're at it, find out the wholesale price."
Secretary Zhang: "...Okay."
His steps were heavy.
When they brought a batch of counterfeit products back to the factory, an emergency meeting was held internally.
Secretary Zhang took the two special envoys to visit a technical school.
Lin Leyu touched the counterfeit clothes and shoes outside, her heart sinking: "The quality is indeed much worse, but the price is cheap..."
Knock knock knock—
Tian Mengya's secretary knocked on the door, and Tian Mengya frowned and went forward to ask what was going on.
He was so frightened that he started to stammer, "There are...there are...a lot of manufacturers are going to start canceling orders."
The people sitting in the conference room suddenly stood up.
Orders are the lifeblood of a garment factory. What happens to the goods if orders are cancelled?!
Chen Qing sat in the main seat and invited him in: "Tell me, who canceled the order, and what was the total amount?"
"There are currently two orders, with a total amount of up to seven million."
"Some people have already cancelled their orders, and there will probably be more later. You should start compiling the statistics."
"……ah?"
He was stunned for a moment.
But when faced with the factory manager's calm gaze, they awkwardly returned to the finance department.
The air in the meeting room became stagnant.
Pressure from higher-level policies and public opinion.
Cancellation of mid-level orders destroys the foundation.
Competition in the lower-tier, low-price market.
A triple attack!
It's aimed straight at the heart of the garment factory!
No one in the meeting room spoke; everyone felt a deep sadness.
Chen Qing calmly instructed: "Keep the internal staff in check and get to work. Most people are in a wait-and-see mode."
We remain calm internally, and at least the morale of our employees will not waver.
We'll leave the propaganda war aside for now; they like to spend money, so let them spend it as they please.
Those who canceled their orders went to Hong Kong to hire top lawyers at exorbitant prices to demand compensation. We signed an international contract, and if they dare to breach it, the consequences will be severe. We are not losing out at all!
Imitation at the bottom level, focusing on the big picture and letting go of the small details.
After our reform and opening up, everyone can do business, and there will inevitably be more and more counterfeit products in the future. This is an inevitable trend that we cannot stop.
Our garment factory has become a brand in the minds of Chinese people, but we have never expanded into the domestic market. It's normal that some people manufacture counterfeit products because they want to have some fun.
Small-scale sales can be considered advertising; large-scale sales will result in fines for catching a few people and putting them in the newspapers.
When everyone saw that the factory manager was as steady as a mountain, their mood instantly improved.
They each received their tasks and began working.
Tian Mengya followed Chen Qing back to her factory manager's office and asked, "Can our garment factory be saved?"
Chen Qing: "We'll see."
Seeing that she was unwilling to say more, Tian Mengya had no choice but to give up: "Fine, you're playing games with me again. But is it really okay to cancel the order?"
Chen Qing laughed: "How could the contract I drafted be in their favor?"
Tian Mengya felt a chill run down her spine when she thought about how she had spent a lot of money this year to invite a group of retired diplomats and legal experts from the port city to the factory to draft new contracts.
I remember when she spent this money, some people said she was a Western worshipper.
Now, though.
Tian Mengya didn't know what others were saying; she only thought Chen Qing was cunning and shrewd!
"I'm going to get busy now. Although we can make money with the law at zero cost, I will still try my best to secure orders."
"come on!"
Chen Qing encouraged her.
Tian Mengya showed her her head: "My hair has thinned because I've been worrying about the garment factory lately."
"I'll buy you that three-yuan-a-bottle shampoo." Chen Qing said proudly, "Aren't I your best friend?!"
Tian Mengya: "...Yes, you're so kind, you're such a good person."
"Hey, I know I'm a good person even though I'm saying that," Chen Qing laughed.
Tian Mengya was impressed by her shamelessness, but quickly got to work.
Once Tian Mengya left, Chen Qing began planning when to launch a propaganda campaign.
There's no rush.
The crowd's emotions haven't reached their peak yet.
Only by making a big fuss can she use public opinion to her advantage!
However, the employees of the summer sportswear factory were a little panicked when they learned that some orders had been canceled. But seeing that the leaders were all very calm, they could only work diligently.
The media has once again launched reports titled "Why is the Midsummer Sports Apparel Factory Canceling Orders on a Large Scale for the First Time in Seven Years?"
The article details why Shengxia Sports Apparel Factory had 13 million yuan worth of orders canceled. After years of breaking through its profit records, its profits have stagnated for the first time and may even decline. Why is this?
Does Chen Qing still intend to remain obstinate?!
They'd rather let the garment factory go bankrupt than see the province's infrastructure improve.
Public anger was reignited.
Despite the overwhelming media coverage, Chen Qing continued with whatever he was doing.
Provincial leaders began calling to inquire about her intentions.
"I have no opinion. If the organization approves of our unique characteristics and sells them to Hong Kong or foreign businesses, I will follow the organization's decision-making process. In short, I say this: you make the decision, and I will obey whatever it is, but the premise is that you make the decision!"
Whether selling a hen or selling eggs that have been stored for a long time is better or worse, it's obvious to anyone with eyes to see.
The problem is that the eggs belong to Chen Qing alone. After the old hen is killed, he can eat a few bites and even give some to his family.
Ironically, the person who owns the eggs decides whether or not they can sell the hen.
The Summer Sports Apparel Factory was founded by Chen Qing. It can be said that all the profits and glory generated to date have been achieved by her alone.
As long as she makes a decision, the leaders can complete their work smoothly.
She was unwilling to make the decision. If a leader were to forcefully seize the factory and sell it to a Hong Kong businessman, that leader's career would be over.
Therefore, no one has dared to provide a guarantee so far.
Everyone wants profits, but not risks.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Qing turned to a page of the calendar.
July is here.
Xiaoyu will be taking the college entrance examination on July 7th.
Chen Qing planned to temporarily put aside her work for a few days and spend quality time at home with her child.
Acquisitions are something like that.
It needs to be pulled.
It certainly can't be resolved in a short time.
Chen Qing was not in a hurry.
But the day before the college entrance examination, Chen Qing couldn't help but ask Xiao Yu, "Xiao Yu, you're taking the college entrance examination. Should I wear a cheongsam to see you off?"
Xiaoyu was puzzled: "Why did you wear a cheongsam to give me this?"
"A resounding victory."
"Hahaha……"
Xiao Yu couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Chen Qing: "Stop joking around. You have your college entrance exam tomorrow, and I'm really nervous."
Back then, she wasn't nervous at all during her college entrance exam.
Her daughter, Xiaoyu, is taking the college entrance exam, and she's so nervous she can barely breathe.
This is really going to kill me.
