Although her clothes are a bit pricey, when young couples like a man and a woman come to buy her clothes, the boys are almost always willing to pay, making them high-quality customers in her eyes.

Lin Fan also subtly gleaned the first piece of information from the other party's words: that she was indeed the only one currently engaged in this kind of piracy business.

Moreover, she was unaware that several shops in Songming County had already partnered with their Shufan factory, meaning that soon, in addition to her shop, other shops in Songming County would also be able to buy Lin's clothes, and at a lower price.

Lin Fan discreetly gleaned one of the most crucial pieces of information; the next step was to ascertain the other piece of information.

"Okay, I'll buy two then. But I need to go shopping for a bit. It's inconvenient to carry clothes around, so I'll come back later."

"Okay, then you'd better come early, otherwise if the clothes you like are sold out, you won't be able to buy them and will have to come back in a couple of days."

Then Lin Fan pulled Lin Shuying out of the shop.

Lin Shuying looked at Lin Fan and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Honey, thankfully there's only one company selling counterfeit goods. Now what should we do? How do we find their source of goods?"

That's right, the next step is to figure out another crucial question: where did these goods come from?

However, figuring this out is quite simple, but it's clearly not the right time yet.

Lin Fan took Lin Shuying to the ramen shop across from the store, ordered two bowls of ramen and a plate of beef, and while eating, they discussed, "If we want to find out the source of the goods, we can just track them down."

"With such high foot traffic in their store, they must restock every day. Let's see where their goods are shipped from!"

Lin Fan ate his ramen while talking to Lin Shuying, but his eyes kept glancing at her shop through the restaurant entrance.

Upon hearing this, Lin Shuying hesitated before asking, "Ah? Does that mean we're just going to stay here and keep watching?"

"But what if they only come to pick up the goods in the morning? Are we supposed to wait until tomorrow morning?"

Lin Fan withdrew his gaze, looked at Lin Shuying with a slight smile, and said, "Isn't that simple?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Fan waved towards the restaurant counter: "Boss!"

The restaurant owner was a short, dark-skinned, honest-looking middle-aged man. When he saw Lin Fan calling him, he quickly came over.

"Hey buddy, what's wrong?"

"Boss, I have a question for you. The shop across the street is doing pretty well. I'm thinking of opening a shop like that, but do you know where they get their goods from?"

The shop owner glanced at Lin Fan first, then asked with some surprise, "Young man, you're so young and you already want to open your own shop?"

“I don’t know where their goods come from, but every night around 8 o’clock, a small truck will temporarily park here, probably to restock. You can ask the driver where the goods come from.”

Having gotten the answer he wanted, Lin Fan thanked the shop owner, who smiled and said "You're welcome" before leaving.

Lin Shuying looked at Lin Fan with a strange expression, and after a long while, she sighed and said, "Honey, I feel like a fool when I go out with you. I don't understand anything. I didn't even think of such a simple method."

Lin Fan laughed and said, "You just haven't experienced this situation before, so you can't figure out where to start."

"You'll understand when you go out with me more often."

He then looked up at the antique clock hanging on the wall in the shop and found that it was already 6:47, which meant that the truck to pick up the goods would not arrive for more than an hour.

"Honey, let's eat first. After we finish eating, we'll go get a room nearby and then come back to keep an eye on things."

"it is good!"

After finishing their meal and leaving the restaurant, they found a hotel closest to the establishment. By the time they had booked their room, it was nearly 8 p.m., and the two of them arrived at the hotel entrance ahead of time to wait.

Sure enough, just as the restaurant owner had said, around eight o'clock, a small truck slowly drove into the alley and stopped in front of the clothing store.

There were hardly any customers left in the shop. The owner, the driver, and a few people unloading the goods opened the cargo door of the small truck and took out bundle after bundle of clothes.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Fan casually drove past Lin Shuying's small truck.

After taking a few glances, he successfully gleaned some key information.

"Da Ming Processing Plant!"

The outer boxes of those clothes had the words "Da Ming Processing Factory" written on them, and there were also banners with the name "Da Ming Processing Factory" pasted inside the carriages.

Even the workers had these words faintly visible on their clothes.

Therefore, Lin Fan could almost conclude that the proprietress's goods came from this so-called Daming Processing Factory.

"Let's go!"

After walking a distance from Lin Shuying, Lin Fan revealed his discovery.

"Da Ming Factory, a name I've never heard of. Could this be the factory that produces these counterfeit clothes?"

"Honey, what should we do next? Should we just bring the police over and shut down the factory?"

Lin Shuying was so angry with these piracy operators that she wished she could rush over right now, shut down the factory, and arrest everyone inside.

But Lin Fan didn't think this matter could be resolved so easily.

His expression turned slightly serious, and he shook his head, saying, "Wife, things are probably not that simple."

"I thought that these pirated products were probably just made in a small workshop, but I never expected it to be an entire factory!"

Even if someone can openly and legitimately set up a factory specifically to sell counterfeit goods, the people behind it can't be ordinary individuals. At the very least, their economic strength should not be underestimated.

Therefore, calling the police to ask the Party Secretary to cooperate in arresting people could very well alert the suspects.

"Let's go, honey, go and rest first. We'll go back to Liangshan County tomorrow, talk to the people at the Industry and Commerce Bureau about this, and then we'll bring some people over and investigate further."

Knowing the location makes things easier, and then we can plan ahead.

Anyway, the cooperation between Songming County and them has officially started, and piracy will probably be cracked down on severely in the next few days, so there is no need to worry for the time being.

By the time those who bought counterfeit goods realize what's happening and start lowering prices to compete with legitimate manufacturers, Lin Fan will probably have already caught them red-handed and will be ready to take action. So, they won't be able to get away with it for long.

"Okay, listen to you!"

The two returned to the hotel to rest for one night, and then rode their motorcycle back to Liangshan County the next day.

According to the secretary, Lin Fan went to the Industry and Commerce Bureau, explained the matter, and created a file.
