    Song Yuran couldn't understand Mr. Huo's implication.

    "What, I'm talking about the dog you drew."

    She handed her the phone to look at, "Our limited edition of 10,000 pieces has already been snapped up, and many people bought counterfeit products if they couldn't get them. I checked that the sales volume is still quite a lot!"

    Huo Qingzhi was speechless after hearing this, "Counterfeit? Will it be cheaper than ours?"

    "It's definitely not cheap. We bought it for 9 yuan and already lost money." Song Yuran said, "The price ranges from 20 to 30 to 50."

    Mr. Huo couldn't understand, she shook her head: "What are you trying to buy fakes at a high price?"

    "It's just the mentality of not being able to buy it and wanting it very much. Consumers also know that the price of 9 yuan is a leak. When they see that it is sold in other stores, it looks the same. The price is not much different from the original version. They just make up for it.Buying it is like buying concert tickets from scalpers."

    "These two are comparable?" Huo Qingzhi laughed, "It's just a piece of clothing, it's unnecessary."

    "You don't understand!" Song Yuran pointed to the graffiti on his chest, and said with a proud face: "Mr. Huo, have you found that your graffiti is very magical?The more interesting it is, the higher it is.”

    "I summed it up. In the final analysis, the main reason is that this type of T-shirt has never appeared on the market before. It used to be either mountains and rivers or cartoon patterns, but this one, although the strokes are simple and only a few strokes,But come on! I can't hold back its freshness!"

    "I think there's going to be a lot of clothes that emulate this style during this time! These bootlegs are a good example of that."

    Huo Qing looked at her up and down, clearly capturing Song Yuran's emotions, "The biggest problem now is the emergence of pirated copies. Compared with the situation of being plagiarized before, you don't seem to be in a hurry now? On the contrary, you are a little excited."

    "It will be like this if the supply exceeds the demand. We can't add more limited editions, and we can only watch others make the money away." Song Yuran paused, "But——!"

    "Smart as I am, I applied for copyright registration for this dog before, which means that even if pirated copies are flying everywhere, the initiative is in our hands, and what's more-!"

    Song Yuran smiled slyly, Mr. Huo knew what kind of crooked idea this person was playing at a glance.

    But when it came to this, Song Yuran stopped, intending to show off, and waited for Huo Qingzhi to ask.

    Huo Qingzhi smiled helplessly, followed her and asked, "What is it?"

    "Although our co-branded models are limited and will not be replenished in the future, Mr. Huo now has the copyright of the graffiti dog in our hands. What does this mean? It means that we can use this dog to make a series, drawA few more different graffiti!"

    "Taking advantage of the current shortage of supply and the heat of the market, this is a good opportunity to cash in quickly!"

    "You're right." Huo Qingzhi paused, "But you should know why our co-branded models were sold out. I think it's largely because of the ultra-low price. Consumers are the first to see it.The first thing you see is the low price, and the second thing you see is the clothes."

    "As for our brand's T-shirts, the cheapest one costs 99 pieces." Mr. Huo tilted his head, "Even if we release a series of models, at this price, do you think it will still be so popular?"

    "Of course not." Song Yuran stopped at this point, she had a train of thought, and the rest of the things were not for her as a secretary to consider.

    This thing seems to be over.

    A few days later, the new organza yarn that was put on the shelves in the online store quickly seized the opportunity due to its cheap price and made a fortune.

    It caused other brands to follow suit and adjust their prices, but at this time, Mr. Huo's focus was no longer on organza.

    She had time to draw a few graffiti, and the dog was richer than the first time, and gradually had movements and expressions.

    "Mr. Huo, your dog's drawing is getting more and more vivid, and you even know how to put a pillow when you sleep." Song Yuran looked at the graffiti on the draft paper and tsk-tsk, "I don't know, I thought it was fine."

    The parties laughed without saying a word.

    "Mr. Huo, since we are going to make this T-shirt series, let's name this dog, something nice and easy to remember." Song Yuran thought for a while, pinching his fingers to think of a name: "Kakadubi Jeff AngelLa Lucica..."

    "I've already thought of a name." Mr. Huo said calmly, "Let's call him Wooden Dog."

    "Why is it called a wooden dog?" Song Yuran asked reflexively, "Because the lines look stiff like wood?"

    Huo Qingzhi didn't answer her question, but said, "Choose a wooden dog or a dull dog."

    "...That's still a wooden dog, it sounds nicer."

    "That's it. Now that there is a powerful sales channel like an online store, I decided to adjust the pricing of our brand in the future."

    "Although the price is high and the profit is high, it is obvious that the business model of physical stores is not suitable for online stores. According to the original model, the sales volume will only be very low."

    Huo Qingzhi's decision was quickly rejected at a regular shareholders' meeting.

    A shareholder said: "Our clothing prices have always been like this, and now the sudden price drop, isn't this tantamount to self-deprecation? After all, the online store has achieved success, and it should take advantage of the victory to hit the high-end market."

    "Although the high-end market is good, the audience is limited, and there are only so many people who can afford it. Our main target audience is the ordinary class, and we must give priority to sales."

    "I have already tested the feasibility of this. Our batch of organza sold very well, and the increase even exceeded the original data. We decided to adjust the price comprehensively." Huo Qingzhi explained.

    Some shareholders below were persuaded, Huo Yuandong's face was not very good when he saw this, he took a deep breath, and said: "I know you want to take the path of small profits but high sales, but how much can we earn by lowering the price?", Originally, the net profit of selling a piece of clothing can reach 50, according to your way of small profits but high sales, how many pieces do you have to sell to reach 50?"

    "Besides, I also agree with what Mr. Zhang said. The word-of-mouth we have accumulated with great difficulty, instead of going up, we will take a slant and lower our value. Then our brand value is not the same as those ordinary low-end brands.gone?"

    As if he had found an outlet, Huo Yuandong continued: "Pintao is developing well now, and the situation is also favorable to us, but you always think of some crooked ideas. I will never agree to lower the price."

    As soon as these words came out, the grasshoppers began to stand in line again.

    Hearing the voice of opposition getting harsher, Huo Qingzhi took a deep breath and stood up from the chair.

    He took the laser pointer on the table and pointed it at the monthly financial statistics chart on the screen.

    "Shareholders, I would like to take a look at the company's financial report for this month before expressing your thoughts."

    "For the 10,000 limited-edition co-branded items prepared for Pintao, you all thought that this month's income would be negative. Now you have seen the statistics. This month's online store sales have exceeded half of the total performance."

    Huo Qingzhi pressed it again, and the screen switched to the bar chart.

    "Look at this year, last year, and the year before last, and even—" Her gaze swept across Huo Yuandong inadvertently, "In the past three years, the company's total turnover statistics."

    In the statistical table for several years, the bars are basically flat, only this month's business bar stands out from the crowd.

    "This month's turnover is our highest income in recent years! I believe this is just the beginning. What I want to say is that before that, I decided to cooperate with Pintao. None of the shareholders here agreed with my idea. Now it is trueThe data statistics tell you the result."

    "I'm still making a decision now, and none of you agree with it." Huo Qingzhi's expression became more and more indifferent, "I understand everyone's thoughts, but now the company's decision-maker is me, and I decided to lower the price.It's a sure thing."

    "I agree with the fact that the price is higher and the profit is higher, but—" Huo Qingzhi tapped his index finger on the table twice, "It's empty talk if it can't be sold!"

    "If there are any shareholders who are not satisfied with my management of the company and want to hinder the company's development, they can sit in my position now, and I will let you have a try. Isn't it more enjoyable than talking about it?"

    Huo Qingzhi's cold expression shocked the shareholders below, they knew very well that Huo Qingzhi's expression change at the moment was not just talking.

    But how is changing positions now as simple as before?The company's online store has just started, and the other side of Pintao only looks for Huo Qingzhi as a partner, as well as other businesses. She is no longer the little Huo who wants to be able to be successful.

    In the end, none of the shareholders dared to say anything, and it seemed to calm down, but the dissatisfaction in Huo Yuandong's heart accumulated even more.

    After that, Huo Yuandong found faults both in the open and in the dark, but Huo Qingzhi blocked them all. Now Mr. Huo is concentrating on his career.

    The online store is developing smoothly, and another thing is on the agenda.

    Due to the small quantity of the order for the production of Tiansu City employee uniforms obtained from Su Zhouyun, the designer designed a good-looking design and quickly completed the delivery after seeing the samples.

    Good things came one after another, as Song Yuran said, some companies began to purchase employee uniforms from Huasen, and the order quantity was not very large, but they couldn't handle the large number of customers. For this reason, the factory also specially opened a production line to make external orders.

    Therefore, Huo Yuandong, who could not see his niece's work ability better than himself, acted like a demon again.

    On this day, Huo Yuandong brought a few low-level small shareholders to the company to make trouble. Song Yuran saw this battle and knew that the old chicken thief was looking for abuse again.

    Because the company is running very well now, Mr. Huo, who had no confidence in the management of the company, is getting more and more wings, so he doesn't have to worry too much about the faces of those shareholders, including his uncle.

    "Leaders drink tea." Secretary Song brewed several cups of tea, and each of them served a cup. After that, he didn't leave, but stood aside to eat melons and watch the show, and by the way, to show Huo Zong.

    Others don't know, but Song Yuran knows very well that Huo Yuandong's coming to find fault, besides being cheap, is mainly because he ran errands for Lu Deng before, and he came to Huo Qingzhi for help but was rejected.

    It means that Lu Deng also wants to settle in Pintao, but after all, they are a big group, and they can't embarrass themselves to condescend to register their own online store, hoping that Huo Qingzhi can lead a line to build a bridge or something.

    Huo Qingzhi had an icy cooperative relationship with Lei Hai, and she is naturally very busy now, so she didn't need to owe favors for irrelevant matters, so she refused on the spot.

    The dog leg felt that he had lost face, so of course he was not happy, so he came to find fault when he had nothing to do.

    It's not the way to go on like this, even if it doesn't matter, it's still very emotional to come here from time to time.

    Song Yuran murmured in her heart, she had to find some way to make Huo Yuandong dare not to be mean again.

    While thinking about it, the nephew and uncle, who were not speculative, started arguing.

    "The factory is already very busy rushing to deliver goods. You are still picking up orders for work clothes. The quantity is small and the profit is low. This time, you almost missed the delivery time!"

    "This time, there was only a small problem, and the shipment was not on time in the end. Besides, if we want to receive large foreign trade orders, we have to accumulate them. No factory's first order is a big business. This is a must, and one bite cannot make one.Fatty."

    "It must be a fart! Why are you so greedy? You still want to accept foreign trade with the small production capacity of the factory. You didn't figure it out at home, so you wanted to run away!"

    Song Yuran couldn't stand it any longer, and stood up and said, "Mr. Huo, Mr. Huo worked hard to make money for the company, and it's not you shareholders and leaders who benefit in the end. The factory can receive external orders and have extra income. Shouldn't this be a good thing?", how come you have become a bad thing. Don't you want the company to make more money?"

    Huo Yuandong was choked, and at the same time his mind turned, and he suddenly had an idea, which happened to be a way to frustrate his niece.

    The moment the thought came into being, he uncontrollably grabbed the folder on the table and threw it at Song Yuran.

    He shouted: "I'm talking to Mr. Huo, what's the matter with you as a part-time job!"

    Seeing the blue folder getting closer to her face, Song Yuran's pupils shrank, but after half a second of hesitation, the folder hit her forehead.

    With a snap, the printing paper inside was thrown out and scattered on the ground.

    Almost at the same time, Song Yuran suddenly slumped on the ground as soon as his body went limp, lowering his head and covering his forehead that had been hit with one hand.

    She frowned with a painful expression on her face. The accident happened so fast, Huo Qingzhi didn't expect that Huo Yuandong would do anything, so she was startled for a while, and then quickly went to check Song Yuran's injury after she realized it.

    Song Yuran groaned and chirped twice, pressing his forehead firmly with his hands, Huo Qingzhi was so anxious that he held her face up: "Let me see!"

    This posture made Huo Yuandong dumbfounded. He thought that nothing would happen if he smashed it with a folder, but he never thought that he would directly hit him to the ground.

    After finally separating Song Yuran's hand, what he saw was not a bloody wound, but a thin bloodstain, like a wound scratched by a fingernail, but the skin was torn and blood came out.

    It wasn't the terrible wound as imagined, Huo Qingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, but soon anger surged up, she turned her head to look at Huo Yuandong who was standing there, and shouted coldly: "Huo Yuandong! How dare you hit my people!"

    The loud sound brought Huo Yuandong back to his senses. Being called by his niece's name in front of other people made him feel uncomfortable for a while, and seeing the other two shareholders looking at each other, he said guiltyly: "I missed it, I didn't intend to fightshe."

    "Then what's on her head?!" Huo Qingzhi was very angry, but now it's more important to take someone to treat the wound. She grabbed Song Yuran's wrist, "I'll take you to the hospital to clean the wound first."

    But instead of pulling her up, Song Yuran grabbed her wrist instead, conveyed a message to her with his eyes, shook her wrist secretly, and then began to moan and wail again.

    Huo Qingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, tried his best to suppress the urge to beat Huo Yuandong violently, and said, "I don't care if you did it on purpose or by mistake, if you hit my secretary, it's like hitting me in the face. Today's matter is not appropriate.I'm not done with you."

    Hearing this, Huo Yuandong took out 200 yuan from his pocket and threw it directly on Song Yuran, "It will be considered that I accidentally hit you, and I will pay you 200 yuan."

    two hundred?Song Yuran sneered in her heart.

    "Mr. Huo, I...I...I feel so dizzy and uncomfortable...I can't breathe. I'm just a duty worker, and I haven't done anything wrong. Why do you beat me...I'm so sorry for thisThis job is filled with fear... woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...""

    "Did you hear that?" Huo Qingzhi sneered, "Because of your actions, my secretary is already under a psychological shadow. You have to pay a lot for medical expenses, lost wages, and mental damage."

    "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooleader..."

    Sensing the gazes from the other two shareholders, Huo Yuandong's face was very ugly, but after all, he did it himself and made the mistakes, thinking that the big things would be turned into small things. Anyway, after this trouble, this little secretary will definitely not dare to do it again in the future.have a finger in the pie.

    Ask patiently: "Then how much do you want?"

    "I don't want much from you either."

    Song Yuran stretched out his thumb and index finger and made a gesture.

    "Bawan!"
