"Why was that person pestering you just now?" Luo Xiu asked.

"He said he was a talent scout and asked me to be a trainee in a girl group or something. He kept pestering me after I refused."

"The Korean entertainment industry is just glamorous on the surface, but everything is rotten on the inside. If you really want to be a star, don't go to Korea!"

Luo Xiu thought of all the black stuff that came out in the Korean entertainment industry in later generations, and it was no exaggeration to call it a black-hearted processing factory.

However, in this era, it is true that many beauties and handsome men go to South Korea to seek gold. Many of them have attracted countless fans after returning, but one general has achieved great success, and there are countless trainees behind them who cannot get ahead, and they have not been seen by the world.

Guan Shiyu suddenly came close to her face, stared into Luo Xiu's eyes and asked:

"I remember that you have a very stable character. Even if your office computer was smashed, you would only call the police from a distance. Why were you so impulsive this time and hit someone directly?"

"How about we go have barbecue later?" Luo Xiu turned his head and looked away.

"Don't change the subject. You were impulsive because you liked me and saw me being molested by other men!"

Guan Shiyu continued to ask.

Luo Xiu turned his head back, picked up her chin with his fingers, and said in a domineering tone: "Woman, I admire your confidence, but you really think too much."

"Hmph, a man who talks what he means."

Guan Shiyu stopped asking further on this issue.

After the two of them had a good rest, they continued to visit other clothing stores as if nothing had happened.

After a whole day, Luo Xiu felt that his legs were no longer his own.

If mobile phones of this era could count steps, he estimated that he would not have taken more than 30,000 steps today, ranking second in the circle of friends. The first place is of course Guan Shiyu.

Because in the afternoon, every time Luo Xiu walked into a store, he immediately looked for a place to sit, but Guan Shiyu didn't seem to feel tired at all.

There are only exhausted cows and no damaged land. This sentence refers to when men and women go shopping, right?

…

Returning to the hotel in the evening, the two of them counted the loot in the room.

Luo Xiu discovered that Guan Shiyu only bought a few sets of clothes for himself, and the rest were men's clothes.

"Didn't you agree to come here to buy women's clothes? Why do I have more clothes than you?"

"I found that the styles of women's clothing are similar to those of Yangcheng Shisanhang. The price is several to dozens of times more expensive, so I don't want to buy it."

Guan Shiyu explained.

"That's normal. The one from Thirteen Lines is the wholesale price, and theirs is the retail price, and there is also a brand premium, so of course it is expensive."

“It’s not just about price.”

Guan Shiyu opened a label and handed it to Luo Xiu, "Look, it says made in china. Isn't it too stupid for us to go abroad and buy domestic products?"

"Our country is the world's largest clothing exporter, exporting more than 100 billion US dollars in clothing every year. Many big brands are OEM-produced in our country, and some products are sold back to us at high prices."

“Can’t we sell it at a high price ourselves?”

"That's why I came to Korea with you." Luo Xiu said with a smile, "I plan to register a clothing trademark in Korea, and then our products can claim to be Korean brands."

In the next few years, many so-called Korean beauty brands will appear in China. In fact, they are completely domestic products. No one in Korea knows them at all. They are just registered Korean trademarks.

Merchants can mark "Korean brand" on the product page and sell the product at a price several times higher than the original price, thereby collecting IQ tax like crazy.

Because we once couldn't even make a nail, and good things were imported from abroad, many people began to form a thinking habit: foreign = good products; domestic = inferior products.

In offline physical stores, this situation is relatively less serious.

Because consumers can experience the product up close, the picture quality of the two TVs seems to be about the same, but the price is several times different. Of course, ordinary people will buy domestic products.

In e-commerce, consumers cannot experience products directly and can only choose products through the copywriting and pictures provided by merchants.

Therefore, the words "imported from abroad" have a magical power that can make the product significantly more expensive.

What is even more ridiculous is that even some countries that are technologically behind China can have the same effect.

To give the simplest example, Asan's sacred oil is not actually produced by Asan, but is something made by a Xiangjiang person.

For a city as developed as Xiangjiang to sell goods under the name of Ah San, isn't this smearing cow shit on one's own face?

But some people just can’t help it and think cow shit smells better!

"Are we lying?"

After listening to Luo Xiu's explanation, Guan Shiyu did not agree with this approach.

"They will be deceived anyway. It is better to be deceived by others than by me. Don't talk about morality with capitalists."

Since Luo Xiu wants to become a capitalist after his rebirth, he should throw away things like conscience.

"If we build a domestic brand and beat all foreign brands, what a sense of accomplishment it will be!"

"Woman, are you trying to create difficulties for me? You can easily make money by lying down, why do you have to take detours?"

Luo Xiu was noncommittal to her proposal.

In the future, there will indeed be countless domestic brands that will become number one in the world and compete with big foreign brands.

But in the field of fashion, the only brands that can sell at high prices are foreign brands. It was not until later that "Hua Guo Li Ning" came out. Simply put the words "Hua Guo Li Ning" on the chest and you can sell it at a very high price.

The success of Chinese Li-Ning is a manifestation of young people's increased sense of identity with their motherland.

However, it was too difficult to do this in 2008, so Luo Xiu still wanted to make money while lying down.

"But...why do many foreign brands have Chinese names?"

"Because they see the potential of our market..."

When Luo Xiu said this, he suddenly froze.

Guan Shiyu's words were like thunder, exploding in his ears.

Those really big international brands have all adopted Chinese names and localized them, making people mistakenly think that they are domestic brands.

They all know the potential of the Chinese market and are convinced that China will develop and grow in the future.

However, many domestic brands insist on choosing a foreign-style name.

After some domestic companies become big, they begin to call themselves global brands. Even the earth cannot accommodate them, and they have to look at problems from the perspective of Mars.

Luo Xiu quickly recalled in his mind those companies that pretended to be foreign brands. It was indeed easy for them to harvest a wave of IQ tax in the early stage, but they soon entered a development bottleneck.

It's easy to make money lying down, but if you want to truly be number one in the world, you can't use this method.

I have been reborn, why don't I challenge a greater difficulty? Why do I only think about the small profits in front of me and not make more money?

Luo Xiu thought of this, turned to look at Guan Shiyu, and showed a stern smile like a domineering president: "Woman, you have successfully aroused my fighting spirit."

"speak English."
