Reborn in the 80s: Everyone Falls For Me-Chapter 674: Dispute (2 more updates)

"But the law doesn’t stipulate that Xu’s Liuyue Su can only be the name of our product, nor that we are the only ones entitled to use this packaging and shape. We can’t do anything about this manufacturer openly," Xu Niannian said.

Because patent law had not yet come into existence.

That was the most pressing issue.

What Xu Niannian had pointed out was something Sun Qiang was well aware of.

However, unlike Xu Zhiqiang, once Xu Niannian suggested it, Sun Qiang discerned the subtext: "You mean, behind the scenes..."

"I’m glad President Sun understands," Xu Niannian interrupted with a smile.

Sun Qiang looked at Xu Niannian with surprise. This young woman indeed adapted better to the business scene than he had expected.

She wasn’t too rigid.

"I understand what CEO Xu is saying, but it doesn’t completely solve the key issue. This is just a small factory that has popped up. Without CEO Xu needing to say anything, I can make sure they can’t continue on my end. But considering how well Xu’s Liuyue Su has developed so far, CEO Xu should know just how good the sales are. There are plenty wanting a piece of the pie, and if one counterfeit producer can appear, so can a second," he said.

"Moreover, with how vast the city is, talented individuals are in abundance. I can’t guarantee that every counterfeit manufacturer that pops up can be taken care of privately."

What if he encountered someone with even greater power?

Then it would be someone else dealing with him, not the other way around.

Sun Qiang had been quite looking forward to any surprise solutions Xu Niannian might have, only to realize her solution was just this.

Sun Qiang felt somewhat disappointed.

"That’s precisely why I want to discuss the following steps with President Sun."

Xu Niannian couldn’t tell Sun Qiang that in a few years, patent laws would be enacted, and there was no need to rush—it was just a matter of enduring for a couple of years.

"Please go on," Sun Qiang gestured for Xu Niannian to continue.

Xu Niannian didn’t beat around the bush. freeweɓnøvel~com

"President Sun’s concerns are mine as well. Indeed, if one counterfeit factory emerges, a second can follow. That’s why I am thinking of building a mall in the city exclusively selling products under the Xu Family brand. We will explain to all customers that from now on, only those purchased in the mall are genuine, and those bought elsewhere are counterfeit," she proposed.

"We could move the retail agents who haven’t yet been taken over by counterfeit manufacturers directly into the mall, adopting a commission-based sales model. After deducting rent and costs, the profits would be split 40-60, with them receiving sixty percent and us forty. As for the agents who have been taken over, I hope President Sun can completely terminate cooperation with them."

This was Xu Niannian’s first step in securing their customers, to at least preserve the reputation of Xu’s Liuyue Su.

In this way, people would know which products were genuine and which ones were fake.

The first step was to secure the customers, the second step was to teach those who dared to counterfeit a lesson.

Sun Qiang furrowed his brows and listened intently. After hearing Xu Niannian’s words, his brow furrowed even deeper.

"Has CEO Xu considered how many customers we might lose if we do this? The city’s so large, and with only one mall, isn’t this going against our original intention of expanding so that Liuyue Su selling points can be seen in every district?" he questioned.

Tasty treats always attract customers.

But obviously, one is a location where customers can walk a few minutes to buy, and the other requires a long ride.

Customers would have to be mad to travel by car every day just for a snack.

Sun Qiang adjusted his tie: "Moreover, another point, building a mall means a fixed location, concentrating all partnering agents to sell the same product in one place. A fixed location generally means a certain amount of foot traffic. How much profit does CEO Xu think can be generated?"
