Chapter 199 High-Quality Counterfeits
Chapter 199 High-Quality Counterfeits
"I just received news that a large number of counterfeit Yangxin women's clothing products have appeared in Guangcheng. These counterfeits look very similar, but the quality is very poor, and the price is extremely low," Chu Lan explained. "Many customers in the market have been fooled."
Jiang Yang clenched his fists; his worst fears had come true.
Currently, the country doesn't have a clear "Trademark Law," so protecting intellectual property rights is indeed quite troublesome.
"This matter must be resolved as soon as possible!" Jiang Yang said decisively. "Otherwise, Yang Xin's brand will be completely ruined!"
Jiang Yang's eyes were firm, like two flames, and no one could destroy the brand he had built from scratch.
"Chu Lan, let's go to Guangcheng."
Jiang Yang immediately made a decision: "I'm going to meet those counterfeiters myself!"
Chu Lan paused for a moment, then nodded.
"Okay! I'll arrange it right away!"
Jiang Yang is decisive and efficient; he can leave whenever he wants.
A few days later, he and Chu Lan arrived at the Gaoyang Street Wholesale Market in Guangcheng.
The place was bustling with noise, filled with vendors calling out their wares and haggling in various accents, creating a deafening cacophony.
Shops lined both sides of the street, displaying a dazzling array of goods that were a feast for the eyes.
This is Gaoyang Street, known as a gathering place for individual business owners in southern China.
Jiang Yang and Chu Lan squeezed into the crowd, feeling the bustling commercial atmosphere.
Soon, they found the "Yangxin Women's Clothing" genuine wholesale store.
The store is quite large and tastefully decorated, with a prominent "Yangxin Women's Clothing" sign hanging at the entrance.
The store was packed with people, mostly merchants who came to buy goods.
"Manager Chu! What brings you here?"
As soon as the two entered, a chubby, smiling middle-aged man came to greet them and recognized Chu Lan at a glance.
"Boss Wei, business is good!" Chu Lan greeted him with a smile.
This Mr. Wei is one of the largest wholesalers of "Yangxin Women's Clothing" in Guangcheng. He is very shrewd and capable, and has had many dealings with Chu Lan.
"Thanks to you, thanks to you!" Boss Wei grinned from ear to ear. "By the way, who is this...?"
Only then did he notice Jiang Yang standing next to Chu Lan.
"This is our General Manager Jiang from 'Yangxin'," Chu Lan quickly introduced.
"President Jiang? You must be President Jiang!"
Mr. Wei's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
"Oh my, I've heard so much about you! I never imagined you were so young!"
He rubbed his hands together excitedly, looking Jiang Yang up and down with admiration in his eyes.
He had long heard of Jiang Yang's great reputation.
A young woman who single-handedly founded "Yangxin Women's Wear" and was also very successful in her marketing campaigns; she's truly a legendary figure.
"Mr. Wei, you're too kind."
Jiang Yang smiled slightly: "The main reason I came to Guangcheng this time is because of the counterfeiting of 'Yangxin Women's Clothing'. I still need your help."
Mr. Wei patted his chest and assured him, "President Jiang, don't worry, I'll take care of this! Actually, I was the one who first discovered this and then reported it to the company."
"Oh?"
"Mr. Wei, could you please explain in more detail?"
"Okay, okay, Mr. Jiang, Manager Chu, please have a seat here."
Boss Wei quickly invited Jiang Yang and Chu Lan to the reception area inside and ordered the waiter to pour tea.
"The thing is like this..."
After sitting down, Boss Wei cleared his throat and began to speak.
"Ever since Yangxin Women's Clothing appeared in a CCTV advertisement, its reputation has skyrocketed. My wholesale business has also become very popular, getting better every day."
"It was supposed to be a good thing, but it turned out to be targeted by someone." Boss Wei's tone was somewhat indignant.
About a month ago, a guy named Leopard appeared and opened a Yangxin women's clothing wholesale store.
"At first I thought it was a new branch of the company and didn't pay attention. Later I realized something was wrong, the business was ridiculously good!"
"I asked around out of curiosity, and guess what? They were selling counterfeit goods!" Boss Wei said angrily.
"Fake?" Jiang Yang frowned.
"That's right, they're fake!" The clothes are similar in style to the real ones, but the quality is far inferior, made of cheap fabric and with rough workmanship.
"But the prices are low, so those who want cheap goods all go there to buy them."
"Who is this Brother Leopard?"
"This Leopard Brother is not someone to be trifled with."
Boss Wei lowered his voice and said, "He's quite influential around here. He has men under his command, and I've heard he has connections in the underworld. Anyway, most people don't dare to mess with him."
"So arrogant?"
Jiang Yang sneered, "I'd like to see just how capable he is!"
"Mr. Jiang, please don't act rashly!" Boss Wei quickly advised, "This Brother Leopard is not someone to be trifled with. Why don't we call the police and have them come?"
Jiang Yang shook his head: "Call the police? By the time the police arrive, it'll be too late! You have to use extraordinary measures to deal with this kind of person!"
Jiang Yang already had a plan in mind.
"Boss Wei, could you get me a few counterfeit items from Brother Leopard's place? I'd like to take a look."
"No problem, we have some in the store."
As he spoke, Boss Wei got up and went to the inner room, where he brought out a few pieces of clothing.
Jiang Yang carefully compared the genuine and fake "Yangxin Women's Clothing". The fake products were crudely made, but the styles and colors were so realistic that they could be mistaken for the real ones.
"Chu Lan, why don't you go with Boss Wei to take a look around the neighborhood and see if there's a suitable place to open a factory?"
"Open a factory?" Chu Lan was taken aback. "President Jiang, you're planning to...?"
“Guangcheng is a garment production base. Opening a factory here will reduce costs and allow for better quality control,” Jiang Yang explained. “More importantly, we need to establish ourselves here and fight back against the counterfeiters!”
Chu Lan nodded: "Okay, I understand."
"Mr. Wei, please lead the way."
"Mr. Jiang, you're too kind. It's my pleasure," Mr. Wei quickly replied.
Jiang Yang watched Boss Wei and Chu Lan's departing figures, his eyes growing deep.
He wanted to meet this Brother Leopard in person.
He wanted to see just how capable this Leopard Brother really was.
Jiang Yang stepped into the shop with the sign "Yangxin Women's Clothing". The smell of cheap perfume and fabric mixed together hit him.
The store was quite crowded and lively. Several out-of-town customers were gathered around the counter, haggling with the sales staff. The noise was deafening.
Jiang Yang glanced around the store. The shelves and hangers were full of women's clothing, with a variety of colors and trendy styles.
The clothes all have the "Yangxin" logo printed on them, and at first glance, they look no different from the genuine products.
But Jiang Yang could tell at a glance that the fabric was rough, the workmanship was also rough, the loose threads were not trimmed cleanly, and there were skipped stitches and loose threads in some places.
Looking at the price, it's ridiculously cheap, only a third of the price of the genuine product, or even less.
No wonder business is so good; it's even more popular than Mr. Wei's official store.
Brother Leopard is really bold, openly selling counterfeit goods, that's outrageous!
He walked up to a young waitress and asked, "Is the boss here? I have something I'd like to talk to him about."
The waitress sized him up, her eyes filled with wariness.
"you are……?"
Jiang Yang casually said, "I'm here to buy goods and I want to talk to your boss about a big deal."
"Please wait a moment, I'll go get our boss."
The waitress said this and turned to walk into the inner room.
