Chapter 18: War of words, one move to defeat the opponent
She smiled and looked at the others, "Does anyone have any other questions?"
Deputy Director Wang frowned immediately and said, "You can answer the questions I and Zhang Yiren have asked first."
Ruoqiao nodded and stood up.
"The questions raised by Zhang Yiren and Deputy Director Wang are very pertinent. First of all, regarding the issue of fantasy, the director and I have already signed a military order.
The deadline is three months. If the merchandise department still can't produce results that satisfy everyone after that, then I will leave on my own accord without you having to say anything. Whether this is just a pipe dream or not, you can wait and see after three months. ”
Zhang Ren frowned slightly, apparently dissatisfied with her statement, but he did not interrupt.
"The next question is from Deputy Director Wang. It is true that the development of the foreign clothing market is inseparable from the consumption and pursuit of the people, but do our people really have no pursuit?
Trends exist at any time and in any place, just like wearing a Zhongshan suit on a seat, isn’t that also a trend?
Until now, most lesbians still like braj, which is also a trend. Even the "braj" that has been popular all over the country in recent years is also a trend.
Everyone loves beauty. It’s not that we don’t follow trends, but there are too few choices.
As for the issue of national consumption, that is a price issue. We cannot treat our own people the same way. Anyway, we provide trendy clothing to the people not for the purpose of making money, but for serving the people. We just need to control the prices within a reasonable range above 30%. I believe that as long as the clothes are good, everyone will still be willing to consume them. ”
Many people nodded slightly after hearing this, as if thinking about something.
She paused for a moment before continuing.
"I wonder if you have heard about the recent bell-bottom pants trend in Hai City?"
Everyone looked at each other, and judging from the expressions of many people, they seemed to know.
But it’s probably hard to accept.
After all, most of the people here are older and more serious.
Many of them are veterans of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and they probably cannot accept such overly strange clothing.
Seeing someone frown, she smiled.
"This trend has become popular abroad. Why can they achieve such good results by selling it to our country at high prices? Are foreign products always better? No, it's the same thing. We have too few choices."
"Thinking back to our five thousand years of clothing, how many countries have imitated us and how we were once admired? Why are we now being labeled by those people as Chinese clothing being rustic and not presentable?
Why can our ancestors do it, but we can’t?
I wonder if any of you here have ever been to a trade show and heard with your own ears how those foreigners wantonly belittle and ridicule our products.
We can't defeat the machines, so we have to accept it. Why should we be laughed at even for a piece of clothing? Is it really impossible for us to make nice-looking clothes? ”
The whole audience was silent, and everyone's expressions were obviously not very good, as if they were thinking about something.
She paused and continued.
"I think everyone here knows about the machine malfunction in our factory a while ago.
Look at how foreigners treat us and what kind of helpless situation we are in.
Even if we know that others are deliberately taking advantage of us, we can only smile and stretch our necks to be slaughtered. Why is this? ”
When this matter was mentioned, many people's expressions became even worse, and it was obvious that they were still angry about it.
Some people looked at her in confusion, wondering why she brought up this when she was talking about clothes.
Then listen to Ruoqiao continue.
"Is it because we are not as skilled as others? We in China are full of talented people. Even if foreign countries block our technology, we will still be able to research it out. But sometimes even a skilled cook cannot cook without rice.
We have no money to buy materials, no money to conduct research, and no money to buy equipment. We can only continue to buy things from others, and let others hold our lifeline firmly and pinch our weaknesses. ”
In an instant, the breathing sounds in the entire conference room became a little heavy.
