Chen Jing was taken aback: "Brands and logos need to be registered too? Our shops and workshops are already registered and have business licenses."
Ji Xia patted his head, his face full of helplessness.
She actually forgot such an important thing; it seems we absolutely must hire someone knowledgeable in law.
He lowered his head and thought for a long time before saying, "We need lawyers, or rather, law students. We need help."
"If our brand and logo are not registered and someone else registers them, then we may have to hand over our brand and our design to them."
"As for sending people to cause trouble or settle scores, forget it. This is under the emperor's nose."
If we're talking about the South or Hong Kong Island, where organized crime is currently at its worst, then intimidation, threats, or other methods might be effective.
This is the political center of the country. To get involved in organized crime here is a death wish!
In fact, Xie An and the others knew that it was unreliable to cause trouble for Lin Chen, so after discussing it, they put the idea aside.
Ji Xia repeatedly asked Chen Jing to inquire about the procedures for trademark and brand registration. Although Chen Jing didn't quite understand what was going on, he still agreed.
After Xie An left with his two brothers, Chen Jing, looking gloomy, accompanied Ji Xia back to the backyard.
"After registering the trademark and brand, can we sue Lin Chen for plagiarism?"
Ji Xia shook her head: "Impossible. Even if there are laws protecting intellectual property rights, we can only sue the designer, not Lin Chen."
Moreover, even if it were possible, Ji Xia doubted whether it could be successful.
After all, whether it's the cheongsam or the kimono, all the various classical elements are derived from traditional Chinese clothing culture.
In other words, she borrowed traditional classical elements, and others can also borrow them. Even if you sue her for plagiarism 30 or 40 years from now, you may not be able to win the case.
However, even if they imitate her designs, can't they create entirely new works themselves?
With her understanding of popular trends from her past life, combined with what she has learned now, she is always able to create works that truly belong to her.
Thinking of this, Ji Xia patted Chen Jing on the shoulder with great enthusiasm: "Let them copy us if they want, we'll just create more new designs."
"Being constantly imitated but never surpassed is my dream, so I'm going to create new works."
Chen Jing read it a few times under his breath, then couldn't help but chuckle: "Always being chased, never surpassed, that's how amazing my Xia is."
After comforting her, Chen Jing felt much better and started talking to Ji Xia about other things.
Xie An and Xie Xun's busy work over the past few days has yielded some results.
They not only found a large warehouse in Xicheng District, but it turned out to be a secondhand market that had been raided by the inspection team in the past, where some old furniture or books were piled up.
However, in the past two years, people have started to clean up those antique furniture pieces and have unearthed many old items and some rare and valuable books.
Now that the warehouse is vacant, Xie An and Xie Xun are quite satisfied with it after seeing it, and plan to invite Chen Jing and Ji Xia to go and take a look together this weekend.
Chen Jing found the land he wanted. It was located on the road from Haidian District to Xiangshan, only four or five miles from Haidian, with convenient transportation. However, the land belonged to the production team. Xie An used some connections to get three acres of land allocated near the foot of the mountain.
However, even in the suburbs, if someone is willing to sell a piece of land, it will cost at least 30,000 to 40,000 yuan.
The Xie brothers really felt that the tens of thousands of yuan were unnecessary and that it would be better to spend the money on factory buildings and equipment.
The large warehouse in Xicheng District is at least five or six hundred square meters. It is divided into two large warehouses. The two brothers felt that separating one warehouse and one office, and using the remaining space as a workshop to house about three hundred sewing machines would be no problem at all.
This warehouse belongs to state-owned assets, not private property. Given Xie An and Xie Xun's status, they have no need to worry about others raising prices based on rumors.
After exchanging information gathered by the Xie brothers with Ji Xia, Ji Xia said, "Actually, what they said makes sense. If the warehouse belongs to state-owned assets, we don't have to buy the land."
Three mu is indeed a lot, but a courtyard house of six or seven hundred square meters is also more than one mu. Including the house on the ground, the price has risen a little now, but it is only around 20,000 yuan.
Land in the suburbs costs more than 10,000 yuan per mu, which is really quite expensive.
Upon hearing this, Ji Xia pursed her lips and remained silent. In the suburbs of Haidian, a plot of land in Beijing costs 30,000 to 40,000 yuan per mu. She would rather not run the clothing factory and buy the land instead.
In later generations, land kings would buy land for tens or hundreds of millions of dollars, but now it's considered very good to buy it for 30,000 or 40,000 dollars.
Land prices will rise day by day in a few years. If you don't buy now, you may not be able to buy it in a few years.
She held Chen Jing's hand: "Do you have enough funds now? If so, I suggest you buy as soon as possible."
"Think about it, is your ideal, your goal a garment factory with 300 employees? I thought it should be at least 3,000."
Chen Jing couldn't help but squeeze her hand back: "You have a lot of confidence in me."
He couldn't even imagine a garment factory with three thousand employees, but a garment factory with five hundred employees already excited him immensely.
However, seeing Ji Xia's sincere expression and confident eyes, Chen Jing felt a surge of pride.
"You're right. If we set our sights higher, buying the land first should be a good idea."
Since A-Xia has so much confidence in him, he should work harder, and even harder.
However, the biggest problem is indeed the lack of funding.
I wonder how much the workshop back home will earn before the end of the year. Last time we cooperated with Song Wu, he almost siphoned off all of the workshop's working capital, leaving the workshop in a tight cash flow situation for two months.
Now, the factory in Panyu is almost ready for completion. Song Wu plans to start recruiting people to set up the factory before the end of the year and even sent him a telegram asking him to go back home.
After the factory relocation, all employees of Sansheng Workshop were merged into the garment factory. The last batch of wages was paid to those in the factory's accounts, and it is unknown how much is left.
As for Beijing, although business was good and the Wangfujing store was quite profitable, it hadn't been open for long and didn't have much money in the account. They took out 50,000 yuan to partner with the Xie brothers, and their working capital was not very sufficient.
Fortunately, they always have quick returns on their goods and little inventory backlog, but they are willing but unable to extract another 30,000 to 40,000 yuan.
The two discussed in hushed tones for a while, and Ji Xia suddenly said, "If we really don't have enough funds, should we use that box of old items to get a mortgage loan from the bank and borrow thirty or forty thousand?"
"A mortgage? A loan? Is that possible?"
Chen Jing hesitated. Most of these old items were exchanged from Sun Xiaoyu, while a small portion were goods that Chen Jing had found on the black market.
In previous years, these things were strictly investigated, and no one dared to put them out in the open for fear of being raided.
Won't there be any problems if they openly use it as collateral at the bank?
