"That's true. It seems to make sense. They sell the bad stuff and we sell the good stuff. The consumption at each stage is different. Those who pursue high quality will come to us. Those who don't pursue quality but only pursue their wallets will buy those fabrics with bad quality!" Wan Qian nodded in agreement.
Qin Man nodded. The boy is teachable and his brain is not too stubborn.
"However, we can't just watch them act so rampantly. After all, we are the first business of this type. We must speed up the pace of new products to retain the market. I think it's time for us to register an exclusive trademark. It is important to let customers form brand awareness. Later we can also hire endorsements to promote our brand reputation. Only when we become bigger and stronger and let consumers have an idea, then no one will dare to copy the clothes we design!"
At present, Juese is still just an ordinary clothing store, run by an individual business, selling all kinds of styles. Because the clothes are made in Wan Qian's family's garment factory, the tags temporarily use the name of their family's garment factory.
Qin Man thinks that they should register a trademark of their own and create a unique brand.
"I'll do as you say. Our store has only been open for a few months, and we already have some regular customers. I think it's time to make it an independent brand!"
If you have your own trademark brand, and others still come to imitate it, then you can promote your own design!
These people are so arrogant that they copy everything exactly, even the number of buttons on their pants is the same.
"Well, here's what I thought. We design a trademark, then go to the Industry and Commerce Bureau to register it, and prepare all the necessary materials. We can continue to entrust your family manager to do it, but these clothes will have our own trademark. Wouldn't they like to sell our clothes?
Then we can turn it into a wholesale clothing business, and use the best fabrics. If they want to sell, they can go through regular purchasing channels and come to us for wholesale. Then we can sell our clothes with our own trademark all over the country. As I said, we can hire a spokesperson to advertise, and we can go on TV to promote our products. Then those business owners will come to us to wholesale clothes and sell them in their own stores. When customers pick up the tag and see that it says "Exquisite Clothing", we can kill them if anyone dares to copy us openly!"
Qin Man told Wan Qian her thoughts, and Wan Qian became more and more excited the more she listened.
"Keep talking!"
Qin Man found her expression very funny. This woman changes her expression faster than turning the pages of a book!
"Look, your Mr. Gu is in this business. We don't want to let outsiders take advantage of the situation. We can just ask him to process and manufacture for us. Our money will eventually go into our own pockets. How great! We make money from wholesale, and your Mr. Gu makes money from our manufacturing and material fees. It's a win-win situation!"
When we make enough money and have enough capital, we can build our own clothing factory and produce our own clothes!"
Wan Qian nodded repeatedly after listening to this, thinking to herself, it turns out that doing business still depends on Qin Man. Otherwise, if I continue to do things this way, when will I be able to make a lot of money?
She doesn't want to be a vase, letting others think that she is just a millet bug that eats delicious food and drinks spicy food under the wings of her husband every day. She wants to stand on the same level as her Mr. Gu!
Now, Mr. Gu's factory is getting better and better. Mr. Gu is already planning to buy a new house and a new car!
"But, isn't this unfair to you?"
Wan Qian thinks that this idea was all proposed by Qin Man, and she also had half the credit for the design. It was agreed at the beginning that the profit would be 50-50, but now that the trademark has been registered and the products are processed and manufactured in her own clothing factory, it means that she has earned all the money. In the end, Qin Man can only get half of the money from wholesale and store. No matter how she thinks about it, it doesn't seem right.
"What's unfair? If you think it's unfair, I don't mind you giving me more!" Qin Man joked with a smile.
"Okay, after our trademark is registered, this clothing store will belong to you alone. When the time comes, we will split the profits from wholesale equally. What do you think?"
Wan Qian always felt that she was taking advantage of Qin Man, but Qin Man thought she was joking.
"Are you kidding me?"
"I'm not kidding you. I invested more than a thousand yuan in this store, but now you're doing what you said. We'll make all the money from wholesale sales. You've spent all your time and energy, and you want to split the profits with me 50-50. I feel bad!"
Qin Man smiled helplessly when she heard this, and thought, aren't these sisters a little too honest?
"Didn't I tell you that we are only temporarily entrusting your custodian to help us with the production? Once we have enough capital, we will set up our own clothing factory. Besides, think about it from another perspective. If we didn't have your custodian, would we have to find other clothing factories to entrust us with? Wouldn't that money be earned by others?"
Besides, I have selfish motives. If we ask Mr. Gu to make clothes for us now, we can still pay him the production fee and material fee if we are not enough. He will not ask us to pay the debt! If we ask someone else, wholesale is not like individual business. We only need to provide clothes for one store. Wholesale is very costly. What if we can't afford so much material fee and production fee? It is like taking a back door! After we sell the first batch of clothes, we will pay him the production fee. Think about it, we don't make much money!"
It has been like this for the past few months since the opening. They make clothes and then pay the bill to Mr. Gu after they have bought the clothes. Of course, those clothes are just small things to Mr. Gu. They make dozens of them at a time and the money they earn is not enough to cover their expenses. It is just like a joke!
After Qin Man's explanation, Wan Qian understood. It turned out that she was just deceived by the superficial illusion and had the illusion that she had made all the money.
"It seems to make sense. If you put it this way, Mr. Gu is still somewhat effective!"
"What do you mean by a little bit? That's a big effect!" Qin Man said with a smile.
"We still have to open branches and stores. We have to make money from wholesale and stores. When I have enough money, I will buy a building and enjoy the feeling of being a landlady!"
When Qin Man talked about being a landlady, she was reminded of the landlady in a Stephen Chow movie she had watched, and she was completely floored.
My goodness, she won’t become like that in the future, right?
