TRANSMIGRATED TO THE 80S TO BECOME STEPMOTHERS FOR FIVE HIGHER-UPS
Chapter 36: Plagiarism
By looking at Mu Jingzhe's notebook, Shao Nan also noticed the changes to the five brothers.
In the past, they were skinny, dirty, and wore old clothes. However, during this period, they ate well and had to wear nice clothes. They also do not need to worry too much. Everything is getting heavier and even getting taller.
In the past, Little Bei was unhealthy and usually always sick. After Mu Jingzhe started taking care of them, he never got sick again and he jumped up and down every day. He also stopped following his brother and even had his own little friend now. Combined with her reddish skin, she looked like a completely different person.
Xiao Wu used to follow them like a shadow. In the past, he was shy and reserved, but he was much bolder now.
He no longer shrank his body or lowered his head. Instead, he often lifted his head and looked outside with sparkling eyes towards Mu Jingzhe.
He did not know how to speak yet, but he slowly relied on Mu Jingzhe and no longer followed his older brothers.
Xiao Wu was also naughty. He will scare the chickens, which are getting bigger and bigger. Occasionally, he would imitate Mu Jingzhe and cover their eyes, secretly letting them guess who he was. If they guessed correctly, he would let them go.
This family had secretly changed because of Mu Jingzhe.
He never promised them anything, nor did he ask them to call his mother. It was as if he was going to leave at any time, but all along, he had been secretly supporting them.
He protected them from wind and rain.
The family lives well. Every time Young Uncle came back, his eyes would sparkle.
Thanks to the bike, he came home more and more. Like them, he could only stare at Mu Jingzhe and enjoy his cooking.
Shao Nan felt that she had mingled, but sometimes, she felt like she was watching coldly from the sidelines.
However, Shao Nan stopped watching coldly from the sidelines, after Mu Jingzhe had brought them to conduct a small experiment.
He loved nature and magical phenomena and he craved the scientific experiments that Mu Jingzhe had mentioned.
Mu Jingzhe looked at Shao Nan's shining eyes and felt an immense pressure.
He is indeed a genius, a future scientific researcher. One could begin to see the signs even at his young age.
However, given their current financial condition, what he could teach and give to her was limited.
Mu Jingzhe felt that he should continue to work hard when he saw Shao Nan's hungry gaze. Only then could he show more to Shao Nan and impart more knowledge to her.
Indeed, parenting five children is not a playful thing, especially if the five children are extraordinary.
He had heard that scientific research was expensive.
Mu Jingzhe felt a headache when he saw Shao Nan, but he felt better when he saw Shao Dong.
Fortunately, Shao Dong would make a lot of money in the future and be able to support his younger siblings so that they could do the things they love.
However, Shao Dong was still too young right now, so he had to shoulder this responsibility for now.
He just had to hold on a little longer.
Mu Jingzhe could not stop thinking about earning money.
The production of accessories also entered a stable period, and workers made new designs based on the materials they obtained. In addition, the four workers are increasingly familiar with the process. Since they had accelerated, he did not hire more people in the end.
There was nothing the villagers could do about it.
Among the four of them, Li Tao was the last to join the team. However, he is the fastest and the one with the most deft hands. Even though she was married, her husband was not very reliable. Now that he could earn his own money, he was much more excited than before.
She has a biological sister, Li Fang, who also wants to work there. However, his hands were not very deft, and he did not have much talent, so he could only give up.
However, he was brave enough to come up with a different approach. He had come to talk to Mu Jingzhe about the possibility of obtaining an item from him.
“I will just take a simple and cheap one and set up a stall in the market to sell it. I've been looking around. The accessories sold by the stalls in the city are not as beautiful or as beautiful as yours, nor are they cheap. I think I'll get a good sale if I sell your stuff there. ”
Li Fang finished speaking nonstop, then looked at Mu Jingzhe nervously.
Mu Jingzhe nodded. "certain."
Some of the accessories he made were high quality and expensive, while others were simple, inexpensive designs. Naturally, they could be sold in large quantities.
Li Fang took a small amount of items to try it out.
In the end, as he expected, they sold very well.
Therefore, he started to work desperately and constantly replenish the stock every time he finished selling the existing one.
Mu Jingzhe also studied which designs were the best-selling based on Li Fang's refilled stock, and he would make adjustments accordingly.
Business was in turmoil, and Li Fang's success gave hope to others.
Eldest Brother-in-law Shao was unwilling to look for him. He said that he also wanted to take some items from her for sale. Furthermore, he shamelessly asked if he could take things from him first, then pay him back after he sold them because they were brothers.
Mu Jingzhe immediately rejected his suggestion.
“No, Li Fang already sold it near here. You should lower the price for the same design. I won't give that design to anyone else.”
Eldest Brother-in-law Shao felt that Mu Jingzhe still did not appreciate, even though he had spoken humbly to her. He was furious, and when he recalled what happened earlier, he could not help but spit.
“Who doesn't know how to do this? You think I care about your hair? Let me tell you something. I've come to look for you because I'm thinking a lot about you and want to give you business. You will regret it in the future. ”
After Eldest Brother-in-law Shao left, Mu Jingzhe wondered and found that there was a person in the village who wanted to make hair ornaments and sell them.
Duplication is the fastest shortcut. Since Mu Jingzhe had succeeded, the fastest thinking villagers naturally wanted to replicate his success.
Everyone secretly tried it, and there were indeed some people who succeeded. For example, they could replicate the initial design that Mu Jingzhe had made using scrap fabric.
After successfully making a replica, they feel nothing. At that time, their confidence surged and they also wanted to seize market share to earn money.
At first, it was fine. However, the real difficulty soon arose.
If they sell a product at a low price in the market, they can sell it but they will not be able to make a lot of money, if anything. Those who tried to sell it in a big city like Mu Jingzhe were also unsuccessful.
Even when someone finally managed to hunt down one of Mu Jingzhe's workers to help him, it was still not enough.
They were unable to find as much good cloth as Mu Jingzhe. Having no choice but to replace them with worse fabrics, they realized that their final product was not as good as the one made by Mu Jingzhe.
Li Zhaodi and the children were furious that one of the workers had been hunted down, but Mu Jingzhe was very calm. The result was exactly as he expected.
“As I said, no need to worry. They may think it's easy, but they don't know that there's more to it than looks.”
Everyone feels that making hair ornaments is simple as long as they know how to make them. However, they know nothing about things like design and color combinations.
With the lack of a strong foundation, they can only mimic the superficial aspects of the product. Plus, they also do not have a keen sensitivity to colors, so how can their products compare to hers?
The same goes for bracelets and necklaces. Mu Jingzhe made it seem easy because he had learned how to do it before.
Although the villagers failed, it was still a warning to Mu Jingzhe.
Just because the people in the village fail doesn't mean that people elsewhere will also fail. Soon, more products will come in, and the ones he makes will not be replaced.
Mu Jingzhe spent some time making new plans.
“To the front, we will focus more on some of these products. Look and learn. Before this product entered the market, none of you leaked any relevant information. You have also pressed your fingerprints, so you should not be careless.”
The previous lesson inspired Mu Jingzhe to make a work contract.
"We know."
Seeing that they all understood, Mu Jingzhe took out a new sample.
The moment they were taken out, they caused a commotion.
