National Tide 1980

Of course Ning Weimin's heart ached when he voluntarily gave up a large piece of meat like a franchise store.

He's not the kind of wimp who can swallow his anger.

Despite his appearance, he is always friendly.

That's because under Kang Shude's training, he understood the principle of "harmony brings wealth" and believed that this would be more beneficial to him.

In essence, his upbringing has long since molded him into a person who is only willing to act according to his own will.

To put it bluntly, he just doesn't want to be manipulated by others, not at the mercy of fate, and there is a rebellious living Wei Yan behind his head.

So when the situation demands it, you have no choice but to give in and suffer losses.

In private, he is not so honest.

It is inevitable that you will have to think of other ways to recover some losses for yourself.

How to recover losses?

Hi, simple.

With his position and ability, wouldn't it be difficult for him to quietly do something that uses power for personal gain and harms the public and enriches himself?

Apart from anything else, it couldn't be more convenient for him to use Pierre Carton's clothing styles to produce clothing for profit.

You must know that these days, the domestic business and production environment is very unique.

Under the long-term planned economy dominated by public ownership, the ideology of large and small factories, large and small shops is almost the same regardless of all walks of life.

Everyone only knows that "the world is for the common good", but they are far behind in terms of awareness of intellectual property rights.

Not only does he have no awareness of protecting himself, but he also has no awareness of not plagiarizing others, and there are no legal provisions to hold him accountable.

The public's awareness of counterfeit and shoddy products only lies at the level of counterfeit trademarks and substandard products.

This is equivalent to saying that as long as there are no major problems with the quality of the product, the manufacturer has not used anyone else's trademark.

That is to completely copy the product and make it exactly the same as the original product, and no one will care about it.

Therefore, Ning Weimin does not need to worry about any legal risks he will bear due to "copycat" Pierre Carton clothing.

He can easily make a profit by asking the sewing company to produce the clothes and then sell them wholesale.

Don’t forget, the pattern of clothing is basically ready-made for him.

The sewing club is Pierre Catton's supplier and has taken over the business of producing individual garments for him.

Ning Weimin can either use these patterns directly or get other paper patterns from the company.

Speaking of Pierre Carton's paper patterns, they are extremely convenient.

The scale is one to one with the human body and divided into different sizes and specifications.

It's easy to cut, can be used multiple times, and can even be pinned on to try on.

To put it bluntly, the clothes produced by the sewing club are simply official pirated copies of Pierre Carton.

Except for the fabric, Ning Weimin will change it to a cheaper one, which will definitely be different from the original one.

In other aspects of workmanship, there will be no difference with the original product.

In addition, in terms of catering to the market and judging the market potential of certain clothing, Ning Weimin is far more advantageous than anyone else.

Because of his understanding of market conditions and his grasp of historical trends.

There is no doubt that he can accurately choose the clothing that best meets the needs of the capital market.

He didn't do this in the past, it was just that he felt morally deficient.

But things were different now. He no longer had any idealistic hopes for how the company would eventually arrange itself.

There are no more psychological barriers.

Even when he faced Song Huagui, he didn't think he was wrong. Instead, he completely let go.

In fact, this kind of benefit is quite attractive. The first batch of goods made Ning Weimin a success.

In the two weeks of late February and early March, he purchased a batch of cheap domestic fabrics and asked a sewing company to produce more than 240 pairs of European-style men's suit trousers in two colors.

Compared with the genuine products using imported fabrics, the cost of these imitations has been reduced to half, only 16 yuan a piece.

However, the clothing style and fabric texture are far better than the general domestic products sold in stores.

So in the end, Ning Weimin didn't give it to other self-employed people at all, but gave it all to Luo Guangliang's people.

In the name of cutting goods in Xiushui Street, they were sold at a price of 48 yuan in foreign exchange coupons, and they were all sold to foreigners very smoothly.

Whether it was the sewing club, Ning Weimin or Luo Guangliang, they all made extremely huge profits from it.

As a result, Ning Weimin couldn't help but formally discuss with Director Li and Aunt Bian about expanding the production scale and introducing production equipment.

He really plans to start training officially and make his own clothes.

It’s not for anything else, it’s mainly for this. He has too many advantages and conveniences.

If you don't make good use of it now, it will become useless when it expires.

To be honest, the current clothing market is an extremely profitable market.

No industry has as strong a wealth-generating ability as the clothing industry at the moment. This is the general trend.

Otherwise, almost all of the first batch of wealthy self-employed people in China were created by practicing clothing stalls.

Even Ning Weimin has thought of a brand that can be used as an international famous brand company to deceive domestic compatriots - Playboy.

You know, in his previous life, Ning Weimin himself was often fooled by such fake foreign goods.

What Playboy, Montagut, French crocodile, American camel, various old men, various Valentino...

These clothing brands sell high prices from international brands.

But the quality is not much better than the Sanwu products sold at roadside stalls. It is really a scam.

It was not until later that Ning Weimin gradually understood that these brands were not international brands at all.

Almost all of them are localized copycat products, many of which are simply fabricated, and there are very few authorized OEMs.

But the problem is that Chinese people still just accept this.

It seems that the more locally made and foreign-branded goods with easy-to-remember names, the easier it is for people to buy them.

As long as the merchant is willing to offer a deep discount, there will definitely be a large number of confused people who think that there is a bargain in front of them and will enthusiastically pay for it.

So Ning Weimin decided to do this in order to sell his clothes more efficiently and at a better price.

He believes that any adult man will never forget the brand "Playboy" even if it is the first time he hears it.

Because this word is so imaginative, it can easily lead to a series of divergent thoughts.

It would be better if you have someone who knows something about foreign countries.

Then he would unconsciously think of the famous "Playboy" magazine.

However, there is a key difference between Ning Weimin and other people who make money from copycats.

That is, he works more steadily, has more foresight, has cleaner hands, and is less likely to be caught in his legal weak spot.

He would not just save trouble and just use the Playboy trademark.

But for the sake of absolute legal safety, I decided to register an official trademark, just to the point of being specious.

For example, the OK gesture replaces the rabbit's avatar.

For example, use "partyboy" instead of "playboy".

Anyway, China is still very closed-minded, and the ability to recognize international brands is not strong. This is not the same and easy to confuse, but it is enough.

I'm afraid it would be useless even if Hugh Hefner himself came to the Republic to sue him in the future.

And it doesn't rule out a possibility.

His "Playboy" will actually be more famous to Chinese people in the future than the real "Playboy".

This kind of thing has happened before.

Aren’t Oreo cookies just knock-offs, plagiarism that overshadows the genuine “Hydrox” cookies?

Then maybe, when the time comes, he will resell this brand to the real "Playboy" group at a high price.

In business, there are always endless possibilities.

If you take one step forward, you may become a huge fortune.

Just like that, Ning Weimin is about to become the number one international celebrity again.

And what's interesting is that when he decided to do this, even morally, Ning Weimin found allies and theoretical basis to support the legitimacy of his behavior.

It’s amazing that universities in the capital have been influenced by Western philosophy since the reform and opening up, and now they are actually starting to make a fuss about “existentialism”.

Many future pillars of society have begun to openly express their dislike of collectivism.

They prefer to believe in the democracy of the Western world and the slogan of being people-centered and fully respecting human individuality and freedom.

For this reason, they vigorously preach that humans live in a meaningless universe, and that human existence itself has no meaning.

It is claimed that the only valuable purpose of human life is to achieve self-shaping and self-achievement.

People must live a wonderful life in order to have meaning.

To put it bluntly, this is the selfish theory that people will be punished if they don’t do it for themselves.

However, in Ning Weimin's view, these highly educated people are quite good at erecting archways.

Like they can actually use the word "selfishness" in a fancy term and flaunt it so noblely.

And that big star Liu Xiaoqin is just lacking in culture and is really stupid.

This year she became the first celebrity to publish an autobiography, which is a big deal.

However, in her book called "My Way", she not only talked about her own experiences and struggles in the film industry.

Talk about your personal values, personal goals, and even openly express your personal desires for fame and fortune.

Needless to say, in an era where everyone is said to be a "screw", this undoubtedly stirs up a hornet's nest.

Therefore, Liu Xiaoqin, who spoke the truth, was immediately miserable and became a negative example criticized by the masses.

Her situation would be placed thirty years later, that is, her personality has collapsed and she has suffered a mass cyberbullying.
