Filed To Story: Returning to Her Not-So-Poor Family
Typically, a girl her age would sleep in during the holidays, but in his sister’s eyes, work seemed to be the only thing..
The gift will have to wait until tonight.
During breakfast, Serena was constantly trying to butter up Hans Collins, now pouring him milk, then getting him a sandwich, then passing him a napkin. “Bro, are you coming home for dinner tonight?”
Watching Serena prance around him, Hans Collins calmly replied, “Yes.”
“Awesome! Then I won’t go out for dinner with Brooklyn Reed and the others tonight.” Serena was thrilled: “We were supposed to go for afternoon tea, then a spa, and then dinner, but if you’re here, I won’t bother with them!”
Hearing this, Louisa gave a satisfied smile and said, “Serena has you in her heart; if you’re not busy, come home more often.”
“Sure.” Hans Collins gave Serena a gentle look, and after breakfast, Julian drove him to the company headquarters.
While going through some documents, Hans Collins suddenly remembered something Julian had mentioned before.
“You said there was a design competition that wanted to invite me as a judge? I’m available.” Hans Collins’s voice was very calm, and then he went on reading the document in his hand, “I’ll attend.”
Julian was stunned!
The boss never changed his decisions!
Today was really weird!
Could it be that this design competition had some special connection, or did they have some dirt on the boss? Inviting or forcing the boss to go? But the boss didn’t seem like the kind of person who would easily submit.
Hans Collins was reading the document when he suddenly remembered something: “Oh, right, keep an eye on the company’s movements today.” The goods were due today; he’s not sure if his sister can deliver something satisfactory.
If not, he would personally step in.
“Yes!” Julian found today’s boss to be quite different, not only changing previous decisions but also starting to pay attention to the small company This was really strange.
Nine in the morning.
Mirabella kicked off a live broadcast for the company’s new product launch and invited Molly to be the host.
“Hey everyone, I’m Molly, a designer from Collins Fashion.” This was Molly’s first time in front of the camera. She was a bit shy at first, but quickly greeted everyone with great enthusiasm.
“Hey everyone, I’m designer Samuel.” Samuel also greeted the audience, saying, “I’m thrilled to bring you our new products in this way. See this floral dress in my hand? Does it look familiar? Yes! This is the new design released by SY Fashion yesterday!”
“Actually, this design is a bit conservative. Let’s see how I designed it, shall we?”
Molly picked up the scissors, cut it open from the waist, trimmed the top, removed the excess sleeves, cut open the shoulders, then slightly shortened the skirt of the lower half, connected them together, and a trendy off–shoulder floral dress was presented to everyone.
“This is the first new product we’re launching today!”
Except for the fabric, the design was completely different. From the outside, it’s more attractive and flattering than the floral dress from SY Fashion. “Now, check out this dress. It seems a bit bulky. Let’s see how I turn it into a sexy slim top and a hip–hugging skirt.” Molly took the scissors again, bravely making changes.
The number of viewers gradually increased. By the time Molly had modified seven or eight styles, the number of viewers had reached 320,000 and was still increasing.
“Ms. Bennett, look, a lot of people are placing orders in the live room!” Dean said it excitedly. He never expected this method to be effective. After Mirabella sent Oscar to the police station yesterday, she modified all 23 styles again.
Simple modifications like cutting the dress in half, adding puffed sleeves, changing the V–neck to a round neck, changing the long skirt to a short skirt, etc., topped with some accessories, and a brand new dress was born.
Yesterday, she made a trip to the production workshop and had the workers temporarily stop their work to modify the finished products in the warehouse. Some only needed a few cuts, and some only needed slight adjustments. The workers quickly produced quite a few new styles. “The number of viewers has exceeded 580,000!” Dean said excitedly, “Ms. Bennett, look, a lot of comments say our new styles are better looking and more creative. They all cancelled their orders at SY Fashion and placed orders with us instead!”
SY Fashion’s CEO, Monica, was furious when she heard the news, immediately calling an emergency meeting.
The executives were pounding the table in anger.
“This is outrageous! Collins Fashion Group is live streaming our new styles being modified; isn’t this a blatant provocation?”
“Their number of viewers has exceeded 700,000. At this rate, it’ll soon reach one million!”
“The key is that, except for the same fabric, the styles are completely different. We can’t even accuse them of copying!”
“What’s infuriating is that their products are cheaper than ours! Now there are 12,000 orders cancelled on our backend. If this continues, we’re going to lose big time!”
“What’s so special about that designer, Molly? How can she create such stunning styles with just a few simple modifications?”
They didn’t know that Monica and Jason had colluded behind the scenes to steal Molly’s designs, thinking that these new styles were all designed by Jason alone, so they were very angry, feeling that Collins Corporation had crossed the line!
At this moment, Jason was watching Molly in the live room, transform a halter dress into a high–end cocktail dress. His hand under the meeting table was quietly clenched into a fist.
These 23 designs were obviously Molly’s original work, but in such a short time, she improved on the original designs. With a few simple steps, she made the dresses look even more beautiful than before.
There must be a mastermind guiding her from behind the scenes.
Otherwise, with her skills, there’s no way she could have designed such stunning clothes.
“Jason, do you think her design style is similar to Maestro Stylish’s?”
I had the same feeling just now. If Maestro Stylish wasn’t only known online and we’d never met him, I would seriously suspect he’s giving her advice! Look at each design she’s improved; each one has leveled up.”
“Indeed, these designs could easily sell for hundreds of dollars; they look like the high–end dresses you’d find in upscale stores, but she’s only charging a few bucks.”
Won’t this cause a shopping frenzy?
“How could a junior designer create such exceptional pieces? Is it her talent, or is there someone guiding her?”
“Their company probably doesn’t have other outstanding talents.”
Monica slapped the table in frustration. “We’re having this emergency meeting to discuss our strategy, not to study designs! Who has a better suggestion? Speak up! We can’t just watch as their orders keep increasing and ours keep decreasing.”
As she said this, she glanced at the live broadcast room. The number of viewers had already reached 980,000. She could hardly bear it; her chest felt tight, as if she were gasping for breath.
“We could sue them for defaming our designs and causing us significant financial loss.” Jason suggested, “They’re openly poaching our customers, obviously targeting SY Fashion. In that case, we don’t need to care about their feelings.”
“But their head office is the Collins Group. If things get too ugly, the Collins family won’t let us off the hook.” Monica was still somewhat afraid of the power of the Collins family.
“But they were the ones who first insulted our designs.” Jason said, then glanced at Molly in the live broadcast room, who was turning a pair of jean shorts into two adorable phone cases.
One of the senior managers couldn’t help but say, “This can’t really be considered an insult. They never said anything bad about us from beginning to end; they just innovated on our designs.”
This can’t be considered plagiarism.
It’s far from plagiarism.
“Regardless, we must sue them! We can’t let them get away with it!” Jason insisted on suing them.
Monica called in the legal department, and they quickly sent out a lawyer’s letter, determined to make them pay.
“Monica, we’re in big trouble; we’ve already had 34,000 orders cancelled in the backend, including some manufacturers, partners, and physical store orders.”
They said Collins Corporation’s clothes are priced lower and the designs are more appealing. Once orders are placed, they can immediately ship out.”
“They’re using express delivery. Place an order now, receive it tomorrow.”
This undoubtedly met the needs of online shoppers. The quicker the delivery, the more satisfied they were.
Monica was already livid, and then someone came in to report.
“Monica, our backend stats show that 83,000 dresses have been cancelled by customers, some of which we had already shipped. The customers didn’t want them, so we had to intercept the packages. Not only did we not make any profit, but we also lost the shipping cost.”
Monica felt a headache coming on, massaging her temples and struggling to breathe.
83,000 dresses–if they all end up unsold and just pile up in the warehouse, the losses will be huge.
Monica didn’t dare to think about it any further.
“Monica, some bad news. The manager of a company that promised to order 10,000 dresses from us backed out at the last minute and placed the order with Collins Corporation instead. We trusted them and didn’t ask for a deposit.”
Monica felt like she was about to collapse.
Monica, we’ve released a bunch of coupons on our official online store, but they didn’t keep the customers.”
“Our online customer service tried their best to persuade them, but customers are still canceling their orders.” “Monica, what should we do next?”
Mirabella entered the live stream room to see Molly adjusting the design. This was today’s seventeenth new product.
