When the morning sun filled the conference room, Lin Qian closed the notebook in front of him and stood up tired but smiling.

Not only her, but the seven or eight young people at the conference table all had the same red eyes, shirts, and hair that were messy. But everyone's eyes were bright, as bright as the brightest stars.

Indeed, the current "Allure" brand is the most brilliant new star in the luggage industry.

Five days have passed since the first wave of ads went on the market. The market sales are growing explosively, which is comparable to the grand occasion when Vinda and AITO were listed.

Behind the brilliance, there is naturally unspeakable hardship. Lin Qian can't remember whether the total sleeping time in the past few days has exceeded ten hours. At this moment, her eyes have begun to dizzy, but the whole person is still filled with a stirring emotion, which supported her to finish this morning's sales feedback meeting.

Now, it's finally time to stop and take a break.

These people had all come with Ida, and many of them were her old subordinates and backbones. So there was no need to say anything to each other, she let out a long breath and said, "Victory is in sight, we have made history." Leave it alone now, the market will continue to grow obediently - everyone has a day off today! Tomorrow we will start preparing for the second phase of the promotion plan! ”

It was said wittily and in high spirits, and everyone laughed and said, "Good! ”

At this time, the secretary next to him stood up and asked with concern: "Mr. Lin, go to sleep quickly." Before Lin Qian could answer, the people next to him all echoed: "Yes, yes, hurry up and go to sleep!" "Can't work anymore!" "If you work again, we'll stop doing it."

Lin Qian's heart warmed, and he did know that his body was about to reach its limit. She secretly told herself that there would be no next time. He looked up and smiled: "I'll go right away, you guys have worked hard." See you tomorrow! ”

Because she was working overtime almost day and night during this time, Lin Qian put a small bed directly in the middle of her office and simply lived here. Now that everyone was put home, she stepped into the room and fell asleep.

Anyone who has stayed up all night knows that when they can finally fall asleep, they will sleep comfortably at first, tossing and turning. Lin Qian naturally remembered Li Zhicheng. Took out my phone and wanted to text him. But after thinking about it, I found that there was nothing to say.

Because all the things she wants to say are condensed in that advertisement.

He must have understood.

Allure, sincerity. For his admiration, what else do you need to tell?

With such a soft and tossing mood, Lin Qian slowly fell into a sweet sleep. This sleep is dark, and I am completely unconscious of all the movements around me, opening and closing the door, changing the light, and being completely unconscious.

——

Although Lin Qian's new company has a domineering image of "Linshi, Taiwan, Florence" in the advertisement, her company is still very small. For the time being, the actual production is entirely entrusted to Ida, and she pays for the production costs. So in the company in Wuhan, there are only a few dozen people.

As for Taiwan, Florence? Ahem, there is one person each, or a part-time employee borrowed from Wang Taizhi and David, and the products are also consigned in their stores.

She also has her own thirty-six plans.

It's called ......

Give her some color and she will open a dyeing workshop.

At this moment, Lin Qian was sleeping in the room, and in the open office area outside, there were more than a dozen employees on duty - the product was newly launched, and many aspects had to be stared at. On a sunny morning, the office was silent, except for the sound of everyone tapping on the keyboard and the occasional whisper.

Until, the appearance of Li Zhicheng.

When he walked into the office area in casual clothes, he was followed by a smiling Jiang Yuan, from the front desk of the company to a senior manager sitting at Lin Qian's door, all of whom stood up in shock.

In fact, their jaws were dropping. Suddenly, flattered.

"Mr. Li!" "Mr. Li!" "Mr. Li!"

Everyone greeted him politely and respectfully, faintly and a little excited.

Li Zhicheng nodded at them, put his hand on the partition in the office area, and looked around.

The furnishings are simple and elegant, but different from his preferences. The ceiling and glass doors are dotted with a lot of red line patterns, which looks very warm.

It turned out to be her ideal office.

Li Zhicheng smiled slightly and said to everyone: "It's hard work." You guys are doing a great job. ”

The crowd said, "Where, where it should be." "Thank you, Mr. Li."

Li Zhicheng bowed his head and asked again: "What about Lin Qian?" ”

The secretary was a little embarrassed, but still answered truthfully: "Mr. Lin is sleeping in it." She pointed and added, "She hasn't closed her eyes much in days." ”

Li Zhicheng's gaze also moved with her.

Silently staring at the off-white, closed door with her name tag hanging on the door: General Manager Lin Qian.

"Give me the key." Li Zhicheng said lightly.

The secretary was stunned.

Jiang Yuan behind him looked at his nose and nose, as if he hadn't heard anything excessive.

And everyone else in the office, all ...... Quiet.

All right. Yu Gong, although the "Allure" company and Aida are still inextricably linked, but in terms of equity, it is really completely independent. Although you Li Zhicheng is the big boss of Aida Group, is it a little embarrassing for you to enter my boss's office so uninvited?

Yu Private, a group of people present, also heard the scandal between Li Zhicheng and Lin Qian. But all of them are hearsay, and they have never been confirmed. The two parties also did not mention it.

But now, Mr. Li has to enter the room where a woman is sleeping in front of so many people......

Probably only Jiang Yuan, who accompanied him, knew how eager Li always was to see the woman inside.

Otherwise, how could she squeeze out a day and fly to Wuhan to see her in such a busy schedule and on the eve of the upcoming counteroffensive?

Jiang Yuan quickly glanced at the senior manager next to the secretary. The manager was also an old man of Aida, and he instantly understood, snatched the key in the hand of the secretary who was still hesitating, and handed it to Li Zhicheng: "Mr. Li, Mr. Lin must be very happy to know that you came to inspect." ”

Look, how well that is said.

Except for the little secretary girl who was absolutely loyal to Lin Qian, who was still blushing and struggling, everyone else reacted and echoed without changing their faces: "Yes, yes!" We're so happy to be here. ”

Li Zhicheng took the key and nodded: "You are busy." He walked to the door of Lin Qian's office with long legs. Insert the key, open the door, face sinking like water, in one go, "bang" softly, the door closed behind his back.

The people in the office looked at each other.

Jiang Yuan found a vacant seat and sat down, stretched out his hand and knocked on the little secretary's desktop: "Is there water?" Can you pour me a glass? Thank you. ”

Only then did the little secretary react: "Oh. "Get up and pour water. As her footsteps rang out, the office seemed to be quiet and busy again. It's just that there is an obvious or implicit smile in everyone's eyes.

- Obviously it has nothing to do with them, but it is inexplicably infected.

Because it was clearly not the boss of the group who came to visit his former subordinates.

It was just a man, coming to meet a woman.

It's as simple as that, but it's moving.

That's love.

——

Li Zhicheng pushed open the door and saw a soft light in the room.

The curtains were not closed, and the fresh and clean sunlight shone through the glass window.

She was still wearing a shirt and trousers, no quilt, a coat on her body, and her long hair was scattered on the pillow. The pointed face is still as white and soft as jade, but the eye sockets have become very deep, and the two dark circles under the eyes are extremely obvious.

Her expression was serene, he opened and closed the door and entered, and then slowly walked to the bed, she was completely unconscious.

Li Zhicheng stared at her silently for a while, and smiled slowly. Turn around and walk over and close the curtains first. The room was dim, and he walked back to her.

The bed was small, in a corner of the room, and he had no place to sit if he wanted to, so he had to pull a chair over.

As the minutes ticked by, the room remained silent. Li Zhicheng took one of her hands and kissed it lightly on his lips.

——

Lin Qian had a very springy and romantic dream.

She actually dreamed that Li Zhicheng came to Wuhan and came to her office. But this is obviously impossible, because she dreamed that her office had become a hotel room, and the small bed had become a large bed, and Li Zhicheng pressed her on the bed, lingering repeatedly.

It was dark, and the house was dark and silent. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, cheek, neck, and lips...... Those kisses are all dragonflies and water, which does not conform to Li Zhicheng's usually strong, deep and sexually ~ sexy personality. So it's a dream, how could he kiss her so patiently? Every time I kiss her, I am fascinated before I stop, okay.

There are chests, waists, and even ankles...... The dream was so real, it tickled in all these places, as if you could really feel his cool and soft thin lips and calloused fingertips.

Lin Qian turned up the corners of his lips in the dream and smiled.

"I'm sorry......" she murmured.

Why apologize?

As soon as she said this, her tears fell.

I miss him so much. Why do you think so much about him?

In fact, these days, their contact is very rare. They hadn't seen each other for more than three months.

Why is it so rusty, Lin Qian can't say clearly. Maybe it's because after letting go of the pride of "standing in front of everyone" that day, she actually felt a lot of pressure. She is really afraid that she will not be able to do it well - how can it be so easy to create a brand. So she was afraid of failure and failed in front of Li Zhicheng. So unconsciously, I subconsciously avoided contact with him.

Or perhaps, deep down, there is also a negative breath.

How could those people misunderstand her like that? She had to make a career out of it and get everyone to look at her. With this momentum, there is only one thing left in front of her to do the brand, and she can't care about anything else, including Li Zhicheng. She was even a little afraid to contact him, because she was afraid of being distracted, because she was afraid that as soon as she returned to him, she would fall into that gentle and sweet love, so she habitually relied on him, and she could no longer mention that lonely courage.

So...... I'm sorry.

I actually miss you so much.

After saying this, she felt as if a big stone had dropped in her heart in an instant. And Li Zhicheng in the dream finally returned to normalcy and began to kiss her body more passionately. Lin Qian felt extremely happy, and as soon as his mood relaxed, he instantly fell into a dark and sweet sleep again, and even his dream disappeared.

——

When Lin Qian woke up, the first thing he saw was a dim room.

Got dark? She slept for so long?

I took out the mobile phone at the bedside and looked at it, and sure enough, it was already more than six o'clock in the afternoon.

She rubbed her head helplessly and sat up. At this time, she found that she was still covered with a men's coat, black, wide and wide, covering most of her body.

Lin Qian was stunned.

The next second, he immediately jumped out of bed and turned on the light. The room was empty, except for his coat, which was still lying on the bed.

Lin Qian pushed open the door and rushed out, standing still, looking around.

It was already dark outside, and there were still a few employees working overtime. When they heard the movement, they all looked up at her. That look is a little weird. It's like a smile, and it's like embarrassment.

Lin Qianhu's face was burned. But she still had to maintain a dignified image in front of the staff, and said to the secretary at the door without changing her face: "Come in." ”

When the secretary saw her wake up, she was already restless, and she had something to say. Immediately followed up, glanced at her, the look was more strange than the others, and closed the door with his backhand.

Lin Qian: "Did anyone come here just now?" ”

The secretary was a little surprised: "You haven't woken up?" I don't know? ”

These words made Lin Qian's heart suddenly stunned, because she felt as if she had missed a lot. She shook her head.

Sure enough, the little secretary's face flushed: "In the morning, President Li Zhicheng of Aida Group came. You were sleeping, so he took the key and opened the door and came in, and stayed inside until the afternoon. When I left, I also told me, don't wake you up, let you sleep until you wake up naturally......"

Lin Qian's heart shook suddenly.

Many strong emotions came to my heart in an instant: sweetness, sorrow, longing, pity, reluctance...... In the end, there was only one thought left - I wanted to see him, I wanted to see him.

"How long has he been gone?" She asked quickly, picking up the coat on the back of her chair and starting to put it on.

The little secretary saw that she was in a hurry, and she became nervous, and quickly replied: "Five twenty!" It's been more than an hour since I walked! ”

"Didn't say where to go?"

"I didn't dare to ask......"

Lin Qian nodded: "I'll go out, and you'll go home first if you're fine." After speaking, she didn't care about her, and just as she was about to walk out, the little secretary grabbed her, her expression was particularly embarrassed: "Mr. Lin, you ...... here" She pointed to her neck.

Lin Qian was stunned.

…… No, yes?

She glanced at the secretary, her expression was still very calm, and picked up her makeup mirror from the table next to her......

The woman's neck is slender and white, and the kiss marks are dotted, red and fresh.

Lin Qian: "......"

Secretary: "......"

If she really rushes out like this, she will be seen by other employees and other people in the office building, and she will not be mixed up in the future.

Why did Li Zhicheng kiss in such a conspicuous position? Jaw, neck, collarbone...... Still deliberately sucking out a red mark? Lin Qian only felt a black line.

At this moment, she was clearly marked as belonging to a certain man.

Is this a kind of "punishment" for not returning home for a long time?

Lin Qian's face burned for a while, and he coughed dryly: "Is there a silk scarf?" ”

The secretary reacted: "Yes." Immediately rushed out, found one from his drawer and handed it to her. The pair of superiors and subordinates fiddled in the mirror for a while, making sure that the silk scarf blocked all the kiss marks, and the secretary breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, Mr. Lin, you can go out and chase him!" ”

——

When Lin Qian walked out of the office building, it was already dark outside. The highway is full of traffic and crowds, of course, Li Zhicheng can no longer be seen.

At this time, the mobile phone was also connected, and after two rings, Li Zhicheng's deep and magnetic voice sounded as she wished: "Awake? ”

This voice was like a soft wind, soothing her heart.

Standing on this noisy street, she couldn't help but laugh: "Why didn't you wake me up?" ”

After being separated for so long, the strong woman in front of everyone, once she talked to him, she was a little uncomfortable with her little woman's temperament, and her voice was soft and angry, and she was obviously coquettish.

Li Zhicheng was silent for a few seconds.

At the other end, there was a clear voice on the airport announcement: "The CAXXX flight you took to Linshi is about to take off......"

"How can you give it?" He said slowly.

Lin Qian's heart stirred, and he took a deep breath.

So, he's a big boss who has a lot of opportunities, and he came all the way to see her, and he ended up sitting on the edge of the bed all day?

Suddenly my nose was a little sore.

"You're so annoying......" she whispered.

"Hmm." There was a faint smile in his voice, "Your brand has been launched." When you want to return home, come back. ”

Lin Qian bit his lower lip and didn't speak, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.

This man obviously wants her to go back, right? But it's still such a calm and calm tone.,Want to indulge in something is the most annoying.。

"Hmm...... There's still something on hand, and I'll come back when I'm done. ”

"Okay." He replied, "You've got a pretty head start." Now replace me. ”

Chen Zheng and Charles have been confronted with a difficult problem lately.

A website specializing in overseas purchasing of branded bags and bags appeared at some point. And more and more influential, more and more famous.

Originally, it wasn't a big deal at all. Famous brand overseas purchasing has always existed. Taobao and Jingdong Mall have a large number of individual merchants who do this.

What is the process?

Because the pricing of many international famous brands in Europe and the United States is cheaper than in Chinese mainland. So some people take advantage of the loopholes, buy products from abroad, and sell them to domestic consumers. Even if the transoceanic freight is added, the price may still be cheaper than the domestic counter pricing.

But this business has not been large, and it will not have any impact on companies like DG. Why?

First of all, it is not allowed for enterprises to do this business, which involves import tariffs and brand agents. If you don't have the qualifications to be a brand agent, how can you get a large number of goods from abroad and disrupt my market? So this piece is always done by individual merchants, and a brand-name bag can purchase a few or more than a dozen at most, what is it?

Secondly, how can ordinary consumers have the ability to distinguish authenticity? Nowadays, China's A goods are more real than the real thing, so the integrity of individual merchants is also a problem.

But now, the landscape has changed.

The overseas purchasing mall called "Western Fan" has attracted the attention of many consumers as soon as it was launched.

Of course, like Taobao, it is just an online shopping platform. Those who sell overseas brand-name bags on it are still individual merchants.

However, in a prominent position on the homepage, the first thing you see is a line of promise:

Ten penalties for one false! The website pays in advance.

There is no consumer who would not be impressed by such a promise, and their worst fears have been solved.

If you look further down, you will find that the vast majority of products sold on the website are Zamon brand products!

——

On the afternoon of the weekend, Charles urgently convened a meeting of DG China's top executives, including Chen Zheng.

It was obviously a sunny and lazy afternoon, but the atmosphere in the conference room was tense. Because the marketing department provides the latest statistics: in the past two weeks, the sales of Zamon stores have fallen by 10% year-on-year. This is something that has never happened for DG, which has been making great progress for half a year; Some consumers also returned to the store and asked for a return or make up the difference; The homepage of DG China's website also saw a large number of consumer protests and hot posts.

It's not good, it's not good. Charles was keenly aware of this lurking crisis, so he called everyone over to discuss a countermeasure.

In the conference room of Nuoda, everyone held their breath and looked at the marketing manager and opened the webpage of "Western Fan".

The first thing that catches your eye is a large picture of the zamoon bag, and below each small picture, the original price is crossed out to show a striking discounted price. And the inventory display is very abundant, with more than hundreds of products in stock for each product.

The original price that was crossed out is just the sales price of zamon in China. The discount price is generally 10%~30% lower, and some even only 2-3% off the original price - this is also possible, because sometimes Zamon stores in foreign countries, some models of products will have considerable promotion - all luxury brands have such behavior.

Charles watched it all over the screen, only to see a cold sweat. He suddenly remembered one thing - no wonder he had seen Zamon's sales in the United States increase slightly in recent months, and at that time he thought that this might be what the Chinese call "good signs"? shit！

Of course, he was also puzzled and angry, and yelled at the marketing manager: "Is the operation of this website reasonable?" Overseas purchasing agents bypass China's tariffs, which is unfair competition! ”

The other people in the room had the same question, but the marketing manager shook his head helplessly: "No, Charles." This website is cleverly designed, it only provides platforms, just like JD.com, Taobao. The people who sell zamon on its platform are all individual merchants, so this kind of sales has become an individual resale behavior, and it has nothing to do with the website. This is not prohibited by the laws of any country. ”

"Conspiracy! It's all a conspiracy! Charles stood up hatefully, his huge body pacing back and forth in the conference room, shaking the others more and more distraught.

yes, who doesn't see that this is a conspiracy?

Chen Zheng sat beside him, thinking with a gloomy face.

How can individual merchants have such abundant financial resources to hoard a huge amount of inventory in one go? The so-called shopping platform is nothing more than a façade. The driving force behind it is broken into parts, and in this way, it bypasses the constraints of the policy system.

And it is clearly aimed at the zamon brand.

In addition to the long-dormant Li Zhicheng, who else can there be?

And the scary thing about this site is not at all how many Zamon products it actually sells and how much share it steals — maybe it doesn't catch up with a fraction of DG's sales at all. The key is that it was born, which made the majority of consumers realize one thing - a brand-name bag may sell for 5,000 yuan in China, but it only sells for 2,000 yuan in the United States. Can consumers not be annoyed? Doesn't that trick people? Then they will wonder, is zamon really a first-line brand in the world?

And the price system of a luxury product is questioned, which is equivalent to its brand value being questioned. If it continues to evolve, it is possible that the image that Zamon has built up so hard in China will collapse and be destroyed.

However, at this moment, Chen Zheng sat in a group of foreigners, listening to Charles constantly getting angry, listening to the English discussion of the crowd mixed with accents from various continents, he had a very strange feeling.

First of all, Zamon encountered such a big crisis, but he didn't feel too much pain, far less painful than when Sim Meiqi was frustrated several times.

However, he also felt the pressure, a huge pressure. This feeling is too familiar, and it was planted in Li Zhicheng's hands twice before, and this is how it feels - unable to prevent and at a loss. You have no idea what he's going to do next, the only thing you know is that once he fights back, you'll just watch you fall step by step. As resentful as you are, you can't seem to escape from his palms......

Of course, Chen Zheng did not show such emotions. After listening to everyone's discussion, he said with a look of hatred: "Charles, what are we going to do?" ”

Charles replied with a cold face and a gloomy look in his eyes: "Check it out immediately!" Who is the operator of this site! It must be Li Zhicheng and Ning Weikai behind the scenes! I'm going to sue them! ”

It's not hard to check, every company has a registered legal person, and so does this online mall.

A few days later, Charles and Chen Zheng got the name of the website operator - Gu Yanzhi.

Sure enough, it's this guy!

But......

"Boss, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to win our lawsuit...... "The personnel of the legal department said in embarrassment, "Although Gu Yanzhi used to be a shareholder and senior executive of Aida, he sold his shares in Aida a few months ago, and he sold it to our DG. It has nothing to do with Ida anymore, and it becomes his personal behavior. We can't sue AIDA for unfair competition without evidence. Gu Yanzhi can't be sued, because judging from the rules of the website, he just provides an open platform for netizens to shop......"
