55. Shanzhai goods
Liu Peng has worked in Jiuwang for more than ten years, and his feelings for Jiuwang are no less than those of Master Lu. When Lin Daoming proposed to borrow money from everyone, he was the first to stand up and agree.
Later, as things worsened, many people gradually lost confidence in Jiuwang, but Liu Peng never gave up hope.
Now that he finally met a capable Mr. Xiao, who was willing to do practical things and was able to make Jiuwang get on the right track, Liu Peng naturally cherished this hard-won opportunity. Just like a traveler in the dark and cold finally raised a fire, fearing that it would be extinguished by the wind and snow again.
"Mr. Xiao, you have no psychological burden. Tell me who mentioned this to you? I'm so fucking... I'll talk to him!" Liu Peng's face turned red with anger, as if he had drunk three pounds of white wine.
"No one mentioned this, Brother Liu, don't be impulsive." Xiao Chen hurriedly patted Liu Peng on the shoulder and smiled: "I just understand the situation. Besides, when our Jiuwang benefits will be better in the future, the employee's borrowing will have to be resolved sooner or later, so how can we keep consuming everyone's money?"
Liu Peng thought for a while and nodded, "Since Mr. Xiao wants to know, then I will talk." He turned off the radio, opened the conversation, and said, "The plan proposed by Lin Daoming was that each employee would not be capped at least 1,000 yuan, the term was one year, and the interest rate was 5 per year, which was higher than the bank's death period. In addition, everyone also hoped that Jiuwang could recover, so they all paid money to lend money to the factory."
"5 years of interest..." Xiao Chen compared it, feeling that his proposal should be more competitive, and then said, "Actually, I have a better solution to the problem of employee borrowing funds. Brother Liu, listen."
"Oh, okay." Liu Peng looked at Xiao Chen in confusion, not knowing how he wanted to solve it.
"The plan I proposed is to change the nature of the borrowing of big guys and turn it from simple borrowing into shares. Well, it is not like the stock market, and the scope is limited to our factory. Then, it should be based on 1,000 yuan. You can buy 01 shares for 1,000 yuan, and when the net profit is settled at the end of the year, you will pay dividends to everyone according to the shares." Afraid that Liu Peng misunderstood, Xiao Chen explained again, "Stock investment is voluntary, and employees who are unwilling can take away the money they borrowed. This depends on personal wishes, I will not force it."
Jiuwang Factory is Xiao Chen's first industry and the basis for his continued development and growth, so it must be stable. Jiuwang's original employee loyalty is still OK, but if the employees want to follow him wholeheartedly, generous benefits distribution is essential.
"01's shares don't seem to be much, so it shouldn't be able to share much, right?" Liu Peng is in charge of production and has no idea about finance.
Jiuwang's business situation is getting better now, and Liu Peng is also confident in Jiuwang, but no one can say what will happen in the future. Whether to lose or make a profit depends on God's will.
After thinking about his 30,000 yuan borrowing, and then his future, Liu Peng gritted his teeth and slapped his thighs and said, "Okay, Mr. Xiao, I've invested in it!" He just treated this money as a dedication.
Xiao Chen waved his hand and smiled, "Brother Liu, don't worry, my plan has not been finalized yet. Go back and discuss it with everyone first. This is roughly the case. If everyone thinks it is feasible, we will start to implement this plan."
"Okay, I'll find some time to gather everyone to discuss." The first thing Liu Peng thought of was finance Liu Xiaojuan. She is an old finance official and will definitely be able to figure out the account clearly.
The two sat there and chatted for a while, and then Xiao Chen received a call from Geng Bisheng: "Mr. Xiao, where are you now? Our products have been copied!"
"Don't worry, I'll be in the factory now." Xiao Chen's brow was locked.
"Oh, I'm almost here, I'll tell you when I meet."
After just a while since the phone was hung up, Geng Bisheng rode his small electric car in from outside the door. He jumped out of the car and took out three or four silver bracelets from his bag and handed them over. He said angrily: "Our design has been plagiarized. Look at these counterfeit goods, and they are imitated and quite well!"
Xiao Chen took it and took a look. It was indeed very similar, but after a closer look, you can still see the difference. For example, the real thing is plum blossoms, while the counterfeit goods are changed to peach blossoms or peony. In short, if you don’t look carefully, you will definitely think it is the same thing.
The reason why the counterfeit goods did this was to prevent Jiuwang from pursuing them to fake and copy them later. However, Jiuwang did not apply for an appearance patent for this bracelet.
Because the patent application process for jewelry design is too cumbersome, and the cycle is long, and a certain fee is required. It is not cost-effective for jewelry products that change very quickly. It is possible that after you apply for a patent, the style will be outdated.
Therefore, Xiao Chen did not apply for a patent, which made the group of people take advantage of the loopholes.
However, although it looks very similar, its workmanship is much worse than that of Jiuwang. Xiao Chen believes that Jiuwang produces defective products, so these counterfeit goods that are not even as good as defective products are garbage.
"Mr. Xiao, look, this is from Hongyun Jewelry, this is from Huatai Jewelry, and the one that is best imitated and most similar to Zhou Dafu!" Geng Bisheng pointed to Zhou Dafu's bracelet and said angrily: "I didn't expect that even a brand as big as Zhou Dafu plagiarized our designs. It's so shameless!"
"Zhou Dafu?" Xiao Chen was indeed a little surprised. Last time he heard from Anhua's sister Huang mentioned that it was a well-known domestic brand with strong strength. When Xiao Chen first went to the Magic City to go to college, the campus was covered with Zhou Dafu's advertising posters.
Liu Peng next to him was so angry that he cursed. He even wanted to bring Jiuwang's employees to the door and smash the turtle grandchildren's place!
Geng Bisheng should be more rational. What he is more worried about is the future. Now Jiuwang's name has been launched in the market. In the future, new styles of jewelry will definitely be produced. How many pairs of greedy eyes are staring at Jiuwang. As long as you launch a new product, the other party will immediately follow the trend and imitate it, making you unbearable!
"Mr. Xiao, let's suffer a loss and become more wise. Next time we design jewelry, we will apply for a patent first. Who else dares to imitate it? Catch one and report the other!" Liu Peng, who was dissuaded not to use violent means, made a suggestion aside.
Geng Bisheng shook his head: "This is not feasible. The patent approval process for appearance is at least one month. Our design has been plagiarized by the other party long ago, and the other party will make detailed modifications to the style. It is difficult to define whether there is any infringement at the legal level. In the end, even if the infringement is determined, I heard that the amount of compensation is not much, and it is not worth the loss at all."
Supervision is difficult and the cost of crime is too low. No wonder piracy is so rampant!
Liu Peng glared: "What do you mean? Are we going to use these turtle grandchildren to have no way to do it? I can't swallow this!"
Geng Bisheng smiled bitterly: "Brother Liu, it's useless to stare at me, otherwise we will all listen to Mr. Xiao." He kicked the ball to Xiao Chen.
