After being reborn, the young master returned to his village and led his wife and daughters to prosp

He paid a hefty price to rent the shop, not only owing Mr. Liu a huge favor but also spending a considerable amount of money, only to end up with nothing to show for it all.

Almost all the guests were drawn away by Lin Fan's group.

Although the two locations are roughly the same, Lin Fan's shop was bustling with activity, while the other nearby shops were practically deserted.

"Manager Zhao, please don't be angry, I have a solution."

Just then, one of Manager Zhao's subordinates leaned close to him and whispered something.

Manager Zhao waved his hand somewhat dejectedly and said, "Is there any way?"

"Manager Zhao, the people this kid hired, and the music he's putting together, we could do that too, right?"

“This provincial capital lacks everything except people. It’s just dancing, right? We can do that too. We’ll just copy his work.”

"Even if we can't achieve the same effect as him, we can at least have some impact on his little tricks, don't you think?"

Upon hearing this, Manager Zhao was taken aback, and then burst into laughter.

"Haha, you're pretty smart, kid!"

"Yes, that's a good idea!"

“You’re right. Anyone can do business in this world, and there’s no such thing as copying each other when it comes to marketing methods.”

"If this Lin fellow can do it, why can't we?"

Manager Zhao slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and then walked out of the store without hesitation to get things sorted out.

At this moment, Lin Fan was unaware that some people had shamelessly set their sights on his work and wanted to copy it.

Of course, Lin Fan wouldn't care even if he knew, because for him, the things he's creating are unique and cannot be replicated.

You can certainly bring in music, lighting, and dancing, but do you really think that's all it takes to attract customers? The content itself is the essence.

These are all very popular dances and music tracks on short video platforms in this information explosion era. Apart from Lin Fan, he believed that no one else in the world could create them.

Reminded by his subordinates, Manager Zhao quickly mobilized his connections and found a group of beautiful girls who could dance.

Moreover, in order to be more attractive than Lin Fan's group, he personally went to select women, finding those whose average looks were a level above Lin Fan's.

Of course, good looks are often a resource, and hiring these people must have cost a lot. Manager Zhao agreed to pay them fifty yuan a day before they agreed to come and dance.

"Fifty it is!"

"I'll pay any price to beat Lin's Clothing!"

Manager Zhao gritted his teeth and spoke. Hearing that Manager Zhao was so generous, the girls beamed and followed him into the store.

"Do you see that Lin's Clothing store across the street?"

"I don't know anything about dancing. I only have one requirement for you: you must choreograph a beautiful dance that can attract people. As for the music and lighting, I will take care of that."

"Remember, the wages I pay you aren't low, so you can't let me down, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

"Don't worry, Manager Zhao, we've never lost a dance contest!"

"Exactly, exactly. I think those girls across the way are all dance students. We've all graduated from dance academies and work in all sorts of jobs. Their dancing is definitely not as good as ours."

Seeing the confident expressions on the faces of the girls in front of him, Manager Zhao nodded in satisfaction.

"Alright, enough talk, let's get started right now. I want to see your results tomorrow morning. Everyone, work hard tonight and rehearse the dance well!"

And so, the night passed.

When the new day arrived and Lin Fan and his group arrived at the store, they were surprised to find that in addition to the fancy lights, projections, and music set up in front of their store, even the store across the street had put on the same things.

"Damn, Brother Lin, what's going on? Why are those people copying us?"

Looking at the preparations in front of the Yunchou Clothing Store, Huba couldn't help but swear.

"These bastards are such scoundrels! We just finished this yesterday, and they're already trying to copy it today!"

"Brother Lin, what's the point of reasoning with bastards like this? Should I take some men and just smash their shop? So what if they go to jail for a few days? I'll take it. These bastards are bullying us too much!"

Huang San, with a sour face, echoed his boss, saying, "People always say that business people are shameless. Today I've seen it for myself. How dare they copy our methods?"

"The boss is right. Why should Boss Lin talk about face with them? Our men aren't pushovers either. How dare they bully us!"

"Boss, how about I go back to the county town and bring the brothers over so we can smash this damn shop to pieces!"

After all, he's a gangster, and his temper isn't as good as Lin Fan's.

In their view, the actions of the other store were the greatest provocation and insult to them.

It's absolutely shameless! How can they go to such lengths to create something that others can so easily imitate and copy?

This situation would be unacceptable even to an ordinary person, let alone someone with such a volatile temper.

Lin Shuying and the others also gritted their teeth with grim expressions, but they did not say anything in agreement.

In their view, smashing shops is too impulsive and violent. If possible, they should try to choose peaceful solutions.

"Honey, should we call the police? What they're doing is clearly interfering with our business and plagiarism. Let's call the police and have them arrested!"

"Yes, Xiao Fan, let's call the police. This is outrageous! We've worked so hard for so long, how can they so easily steal the fruits of our labor?"

Everyone around was indignant, but Lin Fan remained calm.

Hearing Lin Shuying and the others' words, he smiled and shook his head, saying, "Alright, don't be angry. Calling the police won't do any good."

"This situation is not illegal, and even if the police come, they can't say anything!"

Even in later times when laws were relatively comprehensive and there were strong restrictions on plagiarism, especially in cultural matters, in Korea, business practices would not be considered plagiarism or illegal.

It's like running a restaurant. Everyone's business methods are pretty much the same. Everyone else uses a pot and a spatula to cook, and so do you. You can't just not allow others to cook the same way because you're the first one to do it that way. Obviously, that's not going to happen!
