Chapter 121 Imitation
When Manager Chen handed the box to Zhou Dajiang, Chen Xiuying was cooking. Zhou Dajiang didn't say anything afterwards. When he took out the box, his face didn't look good. This was obviously not a good thing.
Chen Xiuying glanced at him, reached out to take the box and opened it, only to see a small doll lying inside. The doll looked a bit crudely made, but it looked like 'Lightning', the most popular model in the bookstore.
Although Chen Xiuying didn't sew dolls often, she participated in the design of the anti-counterfeiting trademark. In addition to Wang's exclusive needlework, even Zhou's puppet workshop and numbers were sewn on it. She couldn't help but frown. Counterfeit goods appeared so quickly!
She turned to look at Zhou Dajiang, her eyes full of questions.
Zhou Dajiang replied, "Manager Chen discovered it by chance in the capital. He didn't mention where it came from, so we need to investigate it ourselves."
Chen Xiuying frowned after hearing this. This doll was only sold in the prefectural city, the capital city, and the branches of the study in other major prefectural cities. If it was a replica from other prefectural cities or the capital city, it probably wouldn't arrive in the prefectural city so quickly. The problem must be with the prefectural city.
Thinking of this, Chen Xiuying closed the box and took the doll to the workshop. Several young wives who sewed dolls in the workshop were there.
This matter required understanding the situation first, so Chen Xiuying did not make it public. She just called the two old ladies out and went to Chen's mother's room.
In the room, when Chen's mother opened the box and saw the things inside, she was also filled with gloom.
Mother Zhou was very careful. She looked at the stitches carefully and said, "It's not the needlework of our female workers."
When the workshop opened, three female workers were hired. Later, as orders increased, Zhou's mother hired a few more people. However, because of the Chinese New Year and the busy spring work, the young wives who had no time to work left. Only three young wives stayed to work long-term: Huang, the wife of Ge Yougen in the village, Sun, the wife of Lin Erdong, and You, the wife of Erwang.
Zhou's mother can now recognize the stitching of the three of them and Wang. The stitching of this imitation is so rough that it is obviously not made by them.
However, no matter what, since there is a counterfeit product, we have to check it out.
Immediately, Chen's mother and Zhou Dajiang hitched a carriage and headed for the provincial capital. Zhou Dajiang had originally planned to plant the remaining lotus roots after everyone left, but now he couldn't do that. He could only let Yu Quan and his son continue planting and catch the fry after he returned.
Because Xiaohua walked slowly with her cub, the two of them didn't arrive at Cheng's house until evening.
Old Master Cheng was not surprised to see the two people coming. "I wanted to send someone to your place too, but I didn't expect you to come first. Come and take a look at these things."
As he spoke, he brought Zhou Dajiang and Chen's mother to the study.
There was a box on the floor of the study. When he opened it, it was full of dolls. Zhou Dajiang couldn't help but gasp, "Where did you get all these?"
"I bought it from an embroidery shop called Qiao Niang.
Some time ago, someone told me that other embroidery shops also sell the same rag dolls as the ones in your study.
At first, I thought my sister had just found a new client, so I didn't take it seriously. Later, someone told me that the dolls we sell in our study are twice as expensive as those sold in the embroidery shop, and asked me to give them a lower price. Only then did I realize that they were probably counterfeit.
After asking around, I finally found this embroidery shop.
The embroiderer at the embroidery shop was also unaware of this. She said that one day a beautiful young lady came here and claimed that the rag dolls sold in the shop were all produced in their village.
Because they made too many pieces, some of the ones with poor craftsmanship were picked out. She thought it would be a shame to throw them away, so she took them to Xiufang and asked if they could be taken back.
The embroiderer thought that although the craftsmanship was not very good, the puppets were very famous in the capital, so she finally bought the whole batch of things, and then everyone knew about it.
Mr. Cheng paused at this point and said, "In order not to affect the doll business of the study, I asked someone to buy all the fake goods, but I didn't tell the embroiderer that these goods were fake.
Since that person said he was from your village and knew these details about the doll, he must be related to the group of embroiderers hired by my elder sister.
The things are here, you can take them all. Try to find the counterfeiters as soon as possible, so that our study can suffer less losses."
Hearing this, Chen's mother and Zhou Dajiang looked at each other. The problem was actually at the doorstep, but they didn't notice it!
Since the source was found, there was no need to stay any longer. The next morning, the two of them rushed back home with the box of things.
That night, Chen's mother summoned Zhou's mother and Wang to Dajiang's house. Zhou Sisi and her friends' classes were suspended, and Xu Wu and Yu Quan's family also rushed to the study upon hearing the news. Everyone in the room studied the fake dolls together.
Wang took the dolls and looked at them one by one, then said, "Although these dolls look different, they all have the same number."
After hearing this, everyone also flipped over the anti-counterfeiting label. Indeed, the number on each doll was the same. The word "" was embroidered on it.
Xu Wu was careful. He took out a doll from the box and said, "This one isn't it."
Although he wasn't present when Zhou Sisi was teaching her family about this number, he could tell whether the circle was facing up or down. The one he held in his hand was clearly the other way around.
When everyone looked at it, they found that it was indeed different. The word on it was " ".
Wang continued, "I assigned a number to each embroiderer. The first digit is their number. '9' is Huang's number because she is the oldest, and '6' is You's number."
Zhou Dajiang: "Although the numbers are different, it doesn't mean anything, because the numbers could have been mixed up by someone who copied it, sewing a '9' into a '6'."
Zhou Sisi also walked forward and took the "" from Xu Wu's hand and compared it with the other dolls.
Then she said, "It's still different. Look, the '9's on these imitations are all made up of a half-circle and a vertical line. If they were sewn mixed up, then this '6' should be a vertical line and a half-circle. But on this one, the tail of the '6' is clearly curved."
After Zhou Sisi finished speaking, she looked up and found that everyone was looking at her. She was startled and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Master Chen, "Wait for you to continue!"
Zhou Sisi was puzzled, "I'm done!"
For those of you who know numbers, what you said is useless! The tail of the number "6" is naturally curved!
Chen Xiuying was more attentive and asked Zhou's mother, "Mom, did you let them take the materials home to do the work after the New Year?"
"Yes! We did let them take it home and work on it for a few days, but we didn't let them sew the numbers."
Wang raised her hand. "I didn't ask them to sew, but I was pressed for time and needed to help sew the dolls. I couldn't sew the anti-counterfeiting label on them, so I asked them to follow the sample and sew 'Zhou's Doll Workshop' and the first number on them. I then numbered the rest. The ones I gave them were all the ones they had sewn themselves and I had numbered them."
Now everyone understands, that is to say, the counterfeiter of this " " has seen the real number "6"!
