Speaking of Wang Juan’s clothing business.
Several staff members in the office were very angry.
"Some time ago, Wang Juan came to us separately to borrow some clothes. She said she also wanted to have them custom-made by you, but she wanted to try them on first. We didn't think much about it and lent them to her.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, she came to the team with similar-style clothes to sell at half the price of yours.
"Yeah, I wore that custom-made dress out the other day. And wow, I ran into at least three family members along the way, all wearing the same style."
"That's fine, but we compared it to the skirt Wang Juan was selling. The fabric used was the lowest-quality polyester, and the pattern was similar and not sophisticated. It was obviously made to imitate our skirt. Isn't this just disgusting?"
At that time, they bought skirts from Meng Zhen at high prices, firstly because they were attracted by the unique style, and secondly because of the fabric and tailoring.
What you enjoy is that unique feeling.
Now Wang Juan sells imitations. Although the fabrics and tailoring are a little worse, the appearance is imitated exactly, so the unique sense of superiority is naturally gone.
And because Wang Juan’s price is cheap, many family members buy from her.
There was no awareness of copyright in the 1980s. Meng Zhen had anticipated this day would come, so her custom clothing business was slowly shifting towards small dresses.
As for ready-made clothes, she will first open a clothing store and accumulate some funds by selling the goods in the space.
I plan to create a clothing brand in the future and consider cooperating with clothing factories.
Without hundreds of thousands of dollars in funds, there is no chance of even sitting down with a garment factory to discuss cooperation.
Wang Juan’s business is now at best a small family workshop.
Copying other people's styles everywhere will result in limited production and limited profits.
It won't cause any big trouble, I just want to disgust her.
Unfortunately, Meng Zhen had seen this kind of thing many times in later generations and had long been accustomed to it.
Aren’t all the internet celebrity clothing stores just copying styles from big brands and then making the same styles to sell to their fans?
There are even customers who specifically search for high-quality imitations or the same style.
Where there is demand, there is a market. When it comes to plagiarism, different stakeholders will naturally have different opinions.
Meng Zhen could only reassure everyone: "Don't worry, it's embarrassing to wear the same clothes as others. Our fabrics, cuts, and the effect on the body are obvious to anyone with a discerning eye."
Wang Mei also agreed: "Yes, Xiao Meng uses the best materials. Look at the shirt dress that Sister Zhang next door bought from Wang Juan. It's as thick as a rag. My neck is sweating from wearing it. It's hot just looking at it."
It also wrinkles all the time. When I sit down and stand up, there are creases all over my butt. It's nothing like my shirt dress!"
As soon as Wang Mei said this, everyone recalled the difference between imitations and genuine products.
Comparing it this way, I feel relieved.
There is always a reason why something is expensive.
The topic turned to something else.
Before Meng Zhen left, Huang Shulan called her to a deserted place in the corridor.
Her eyes were filled with anxiety. "Xiao Meng, I have no right to interfere in the affairs of young people like you. But Xiao Zhou was indeed raised by me, and your mother-in-law and I are close friends. If what I said today makes you uncomfortable, can you please not take it to heart?"
After Huang Shulan gave him this warning, Meng Zhen realized that what he was going to say next might not be pleasant to hear.
But she still smiled and nodded.
really.
Huang Shulan continued, "Xiaozhou is busy with work, and you have your own business. In life, one of us still has to make some sacrifices, and the family needs to have some sense of home.
"I don't mean to blame you, but the rumors circulating privately are indeed a bit harsh. You both have strong opinions and can ignore other people's opinions, but after all, you still have to live in this community. Xiaozhou, especially, needs to pay attention to the impact of public opinion."
Huang Shulan stopped at that point and did not relay the gossip in the team to her.
She was also a little helpless, because where there are people, there are right and wrong.
I don't know who started it, saying that Captain Liu married a wife with petty-bourgeois style.
I never do housework, never cook at home, and go to the canteen to get food every day.
The key is that it is extravagant and wasteful, serving four dishes at a time.
He focuses on making money from business all day long and doesn't do housework or wash clothes.
You live in a house with a yard, but you don't know how to take care of it. It's a waste of such a good piece of land.
In short, the story is getting more and more outrageous.
Meng Zhen is a smart person. After Huang Shulan gave her some guidance, she understood.
"Aunt Huang, I understand. I will pay attention next time."
It's not anyone else's turn to tell her what to do when she lives with Liu Yuzhou.
However, since you are married and living in a group, you must always consider your man's reputation and cannot just act arbitrarily.
the next day.
Meng Zhen went out early in the morning with a small cloth bag for buying vegetables.
Villagers from nearby villages often come to the geological team's door to sell vegetables.
Along the way, Meng Zhen met several groups of employees' families.
Everyone was talking about her in private, but when they saw her, they had to greet her nonchalantly: "Xiao Meng, where are you going so early?"
Meng Zhen smiled with dimples on her lips: "Go buy some food at the door."
Buying groceries?
Wow, that’s strange. You don’t want to eat in the cafeteria anymore?
But I had to reply: "Oh, I'm buying groceries. That's great."
Meng Zhen didn't stop to chat, and walked to the door with his small bag.
I ordered some of each side dish since we had a refrigerator at home.
There are also local chickens for sale.
Meng Zhen didn't know how to kill a chicken, so she paid a little extra money to have someone kill it for her before she took it back.
On her way back, she deliberately took a detour to the river dam so that everyone could see her carrying the vegetables.
Then she walked up to Liu Yuzhou and said delicately, "Husband, come home for lunch today."
Liu Yuzhou's eyes moved slightly. Why did his wife suddenly want to cook?
The man's eyes swept over her small hands holding the vegetables. The white and tender palms had red marks left by the pocket.
He quickly put down the tools in his hand and took the dish: "Wife, I'll take you home."
Meng Zhen just bought so many vegetables without considering whether he could carry them.
My palms are burning with pain now.
She originally wanted to show that she was virtuous, but now she has trouble carrying a vegetable and has to ask the man to send it back.
Maybe she will be criticized by the team for being a delicate lady who can't lift anything with her hands or carry anything on her shoulders.
Liu Yuzhou didn't think too much about it. The dishes that Meng Zhen could barely lift with two hands were lifted up by the man with one hand.
The other hand held his wife tightly.
As he walked, his fingertips rubbed the woman's delicate red palms.
The two's actions did not escape the eyes of their teammates.
Zheng Qiang took the lead in making comments: "Tsk tsk, look at our Captain Liu, how much he loves his wife."
The other teammates also sighed there.
I thought to myself, it would be great if Captain Liu treated them the same way he treats his wife.
I wish they also had such a lovely wife.
Forget about carrying vegetables, even just carrying it and spinning around in circles every day is fine.
The two parties involved didn't realize that they had once again shown off to their teammates.
