It was almost time to get off work, and this seminar on "Wind" Prince Car ended.

Liang Hongjun was planning to invite Zhao Guoyang to have dinner together, but when his elder brother rang, he couldn't help but point to the latter and smiled: "Guoyang, I guess it was Miss Bai who called me. I must have made some soup for you again, and I'm waiting for you to go back to drink."

"I won't make a light bulb, I'll drag you to dinner, you can arrange it yourself!"

Liang Hongjun's joke made Zhao Guoyang scratch his head a little.

Indeed, since the day she was hospitalized, Bai Rou had to make soup for herself every time, and she never stopped.

In Liang Hongjun's eyes, he naturally felt that he had a close relationship with her.

After Liang Hongjun finished speaking, Wang Hongxi also came over to greet Zhao Guoyang, and then followed quickly.

Watching Liang Hongjun and Wang Hongxi go out one after another, Zhao Guoyang then picked up the elder brother and pressed the answer button.

"Hey, Guoyang, where are you? The waiter said you were not in the room, I'm waiting for you in the hall!" Bai Rou asked softly.

"Uh, Sister Bai, I'm having a meeting in the office building of Siyang Group. The meeting has just ended. Please wait a little bit, and I'll come here now!"

"Well, okay, hurry up!"

He explained to Zhao Guoyang, and when he was about to hang up the phone, Bai Rou couldn't help but mutter, "Guoyang, you are too hard. You just came out of the hospital, why are you going to have a meeting..."

Zhao Guoyang didn't know how to explain it, so he could only smile bitterly and hung up the phone.

...

As soon as he stepped into the hotel, Zhao Guoyang saw Bai Rou who was talking and laughing at the front desk and talking and laughing with the beautiful manager of the hotel.

Because Bai Rou had her back facing the gate, the hotel manager saw his arrival first.

As soon as he saw Zhao Guoyang coming, the manager quickly greeted Bai Rou and greeted her.

"Researcher Zhao, Miss Bai has been waiting for you for a while. I want to let her go into the room first, but she still refuses." After saying hello to Zhao Guoyang, manager Wang Meiyun said with a smile.

"Uh... I'm sorry, Manager Wang!" Zhao Guoyang greeted him and then got on the elevator with Bai Rou.

Back in the room, Bai Rou diligently opened the thermos cup, served a bowl of soup in a small bowl, and then delivered the spoon to Zhao Guoyang and said, "Drink more pig hand rib soup."

Zhao Guoyang hurriedly took Xiaowan and said, "I'll do it myself!"

Bai Rou frowned and looked at Zhao Guoyang and said, "Why, do you think I'm not good at craftsmanship? I just drank it for two or three meals and didn't want to drink it anymore?"

"Hey, you're thinking too much, I'll drink it!" Zhao Guoyang quickly buried his head in drinking the soup.

Bai Rou sat aside, holding her cheek with her hands, watching Zhao Guoyang drink the soup gulply, and at the same time, she did not forget to "report" to him about the recent sales of jewelry.

"Guoyang, the jewelry you brought this time has basically been ordered. Those earrings are very easy to sell, so Sun Ning can produce more..."

Zhao Guoyang said "hmm", put down the soup spoon and said, "Sun Ning will gradually put it down in production and leave it to others to take responsibility. His current focus will be on product upgrades and development of new markets!"

Bai Rou didn't find it strange at all about Rongguang Machinery Factory's plan to develop a new market.

In fact, when she went to Ninghai City during the Chinese New Year, Zhao Guoyang talked to her about this matter and told her that in addition to the large market in Guangdong Province, the market around Ninghai City also needs to be expanded.

Although the total economic output of Jiangnan Province was surpassed by the rising Nanyue Province after the reform and opening up, the mature business system it has formed over the years cannot be ignored.

In addition, because of the two economic vanguards of Songjiang City and Zhejiang Province, the markets around Ninghai City have great potential to be tapped.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Guoyang proposed to let Sun Ning shift his focus and go to the market more often, which Bai Rou thought was justified.

However, what happened to the product upgrade mentioned by Guoyang?

Thinking of this, Bai Rou couldn't help asking: "Guoyang, what do you mean by product upgrade? Are you going to make gold and silver jewelry? That investment cost is not low! And the sales volume cannot be so much!"

"Well, you talk about this!"

Zhao Guoyang touched his chin, shook his hand with a smile, "Of course I won't make gold and silver jewelry directly. In fact, the reason for upgrading is related to the fact that you say that there are a large number of imitations on the market now."

Speaking of this, Bai Rou said with anger: "Yes, Guoyang, you don't know. In fact, there are similar imitations after the New Year, and now it's getting more and more intense."

"At present, as long as we launch new products, we can see a large number of imitations in less than a week, which occupy almost half of the low-priced jewelry market and seriously threaten the dominant position of our products!"

Bai Rou said with hatred: "Guoyang, do you think we can come to them? Or sue them?"

Listening to Sister Bai’s slightly innocent words, Zhao Guoyang smiled and comforted: "Sister Bai, this matter must not work by finding the door to solve it."

"Why? They clearly copied our product design, and the things they made were almost exactly the same!" Bai Rou said with a pout.

Zhao Guoyang patiently explained: "Even if this is the case, we can't sue those small workshops. The reason is very simple. Our jewelry still takes the wholesale and people-friendly route. We have not formed a unique brand and have not applied for appearance patents."

"Even if you want to apply for a patent for labor and time, you have to wait for a long time to approve it. This period is enough for people to copy a large number of imitations and make enough money. Besides, we can't apply for a patent for every batch of new jewelry."

Bai Rou's face collapsed when she heard this. She bit her lip and said unwillingly: "What should we do? Are we just letting them follow the trend and grab business? These ideas are designed by you with great effort!"

Zhao Guoyang gently patted Bai Rou's hand, and then said calmly: "Hehe, Sister Bai, here is exactly what I want to say..."

"Sister Bai, do you think the products of our factory can quickly occupy the low-priced jewelry market; and why are they followed and imitated so quickly?"

"this?"

Bai Rou was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and then said with a little hesitation: "It should be that Guoyang has a high design level... As for being copied so quickly, is it because our product technology is simple and it is not difficult to copy it?"

Seeing Bai Rou reaching a little, Zhao Guoyang nodded with relief: "Yes, Sister Bai, you really have the point of your opinion!"

"Although the jewelry produced by our factory has beautiful appearance, generous and avant-garde shapes, in the final analysis, its materials, workmanship and other aspects are actually not very advanced, so the difficulty of imitation and investment cost are actually not high!"

Seeing Bai Rou blinking repeatedly, Zhao Guoyang followed and said, "In this way, seeing that our products are selling well, other manufacturers will definitely pay more attention."

"When they find that imitation is so difficult and profitable, what would you do if you change it?"

Bai Rou thought about this issue seriously and finally said embarrassedly: "If the profit is really generous, I might do this too!"

"That's amazing. This kind of thing is actually human nature. It is almost impossible to completely eliminate it. Instead of trying to compete with those followers, it is better to find a way to improve the craftsmanship and difficulty."

Zhao Guoyang had finished drinking the soup now. He picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, and said calmly: "Actually, at the beginning of this small workshop, I had already expected this situation to happen. But these imitations will appear so quickly..."

Zhao Guoyang thought that in the early 1990s, the production technology level of these small domestic manufacturers was still very low, and if he wanted to "counterfeit" the products in his own factory, he would have to spend a year or two, right?

Who knew that the jewelry business of Rongguang Machinery Factory was just popular for a few months, and the imitations on the market had sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

It seems that I am still too underestimating the "counterfeiting" ability of the small factory. Merchants are really trying their best to pursue profits!

After a while of secret emotion, Zhao Guoyang continued, "Don't those small factories like to imitate our products? Then let's create some products that they can't easily imitate. In this way, will the problem be solved?"

"But, Guoyang, you just said that the jewelry produced in our factory is not very special in material, they are all available on the market."

"Even if your design concept is advanced, what is produced in this way will be easily imitated, right?" Bai Rou thought for a while and couldn't help asking.

Zhao Guoyang smiled and raised a finger and said, "Sister Bai, you are right. The design plan is easy to be copied. The product material is not impossible to find the same type, but one thing is that the workmanship and surface treatment process cannot be easily imitated by small workshops."

"Guoyang, what do you mean?" Bai Rou asked thoughtfully.

Zhao Guoyang smiled mysteriously and said, "Hehe, the mountain man has his own tricks. You, just wait patiently. You will definitely give you a big surprise and a big surprise to your opponent."

After hearing this, Bai Rou rolled her eyes, pouted and said with a little dissatisfaction: "Hmph, you guy, are you still ambushing me, can't you tell me now?"

Zhao Guoyang shook his head and said, "It's not the time yet, so there's no surprise if you say it in advance!"

"By the way, Sister Bai, do you remember the last time I told you that I wanted to give our jewelry a nice name?" Zhao Guoyang asked after the conversation.
