That night, Jia Yapeng ended his trip to the magical capital and returned to Yuzhang City as quickly as possible. Then he issued an order to dealers across the country, asking them to immediately investigate the situation of pirated cards in the area.

At the same time, Jia Yapeng also asked Chen Liren to use his connections to find some shady guys and asked them to conduct an investigation. After five days, all the information was summarized in Jia Yapeng's hands.

"Mr. Jia, according to reports from dealers in various places, traces of pirated cards have basically been found in various southern provinces. The northern provinces have not discovered them yet, so it can be judged that the source of these pirated cards should be somewhere in the south.

The province has only spread to the south, and the north has not been affected yet!" Zhu Qiushui has not had a good rest for a week, and is cooperating with Jia Yapeng in the investigation. At this time, her eyes are red, and even her skin is red.

Not so fresh anymore.

As soon as she joined the company, she had to take on such a heavy task, which was really difficult for her.

"I guess it's also in the south. After all, southerners have more flexible minds!" Jia Yapeng said with a sigh.

Well, Jia Yapeng himself is from the south.

"Boss, according to your order, people from various provinces and cities have sent people directly to take the train to deliver the counterfeit cards they collected. After my statistics, I found that according to the source of these counterfeit cards,

Different ones, divided into 21 types in total." Zhu Qiushui said.

"That is to say, 21 manufacturers have copied our Water Margin hero card! There are so many heroes!" Jia Yapeng said with a smile.

"These copycat Water Margin hero cards are basically sold locally. They cannot interfere with other people, and the damage to us is limited, because these cards are made of very low quality and are basically printed on hard-shell paper.

When it came out, not only was the paper quality very bad, but the printed card surface was also blurry, some even had no plastic layer, some characters were printed backwards, the text was printed wrong, there were missing words, missing words, and even direct

Half of the card surface is missing! It should have been printed by a small factory."

"So these copycat cards actually don't pose much of a threat to us, because a discerning person can tell at a glance that these are fake and do not have any collection value!"

"In addition, these cards are sold very cheaply. You can buy hundreds of them for just a few yuan. I think the children who are willing to spend money to buy these cards are those who don't have much pocket money or live in poverty.

Children, they don’t have much money to buy dry noodles!”

"Buying these counterfeit cards is just to satisfy their temporary vanity. We actually don't make much money from them. And our real main customers are rich children, and these children buy cards.

The main purpose is to show off among peers. And if these children show off with these cards that can be easily seen as fake at a glance, these children will not only not get what they want, but will become a laughing stock, so they

I won’t buy these cards!” Zhu Qiushui said eloquently.

"Oh, according to what you said, copycat cards are nothing to worry about!" Jia Yapeng couldn't help but laugh.

"It's not that it's nothing to worry about, it's just that the damage they can do to us is limited. More importantly, we can't completely ban these copycat things. China has its own national conditions and we can't change it!" Zhu Qiushui said.

"I understand what you mean!" Jia Yapeng nodded. China's genuine environment really improved after 2010. Since then, Chinese people have become more and more aware of genuine maintenance.

Because the children in this area are basically children born after 1990. When they grew up, the country had become rich and quality education was fully spread.

As the quality of users improves, piracy will naturally decrease.

"But boss, among these cards, there is a set of cards that poses a great threat to us. If we cannot get rid of them early, I am afraid they will really cause great losses to us!" Zhu Qiushui said with a frown.

"I know which set of cards you are talking about. I bought this set of cards myself!" Jia Yapeng also smiled bitterly. The set of cards Zhu Qiushui mentioned was the set of cards Jia Yapeng bought in the Magic City.

Card.

Later, Jia Yapeng found the stall in person and bought a box of 108 Water Margin hero cards for 5 yuan.

"I have carefully checked these cards. Among the 21 sets of cards, 20 sets are only the cards of our first 5 issues, a total of 100 Water Margin heroes, because these are the cards that we have already sold. They

It’s not surprising that it can be imitated.”

"But this set of cards includes 8 cards that we have not officially released yet. Another more important point is that the printing of this set of cards is extremely sophisticated, almost to the point where they can be mistaken for real ones. Even I

Comparing the two sets of genuine and pirated cards, it’s hard to tell the difference!”

"This is the biggest threat to us, because even the buyers cannot recognize the authenticity of these pirated cards. In this case, whether you buy genuine or pirated cards, you will get the same result.

.Then children will still be willing to spend 50 cents a piece to try their luck to randomly bet on a genuine Water Margin hero card?"

"No, they will immediately buy those pirated cards. After all, you can collect all the Water Margin hero cards for 5 yuan. No one can resist such temptation! I'm afraid it will only take a month at most. Let's just sell them.

It will drop by more than half." Zhu Qiushui said.

"There's no need to wait a month. It's only been a week, and the sales reports from various provinces and cities have already been reduced by half!" Jia Yapeng angrily slammed the documents in his hand on the table. These losses were all alive.

Money.

What's even more terrible is that Jia Yapeng used all his funds to buy a house. Now he only has a few million in liquidity in his account. However, the company's expenses have not decreased. Instead, as the company continues to develop,

, the cost is getting higher and higher.

Although compared with costs at this time, sales are still profitable and profits are still there, and it is estimated that he can earn several million this month. But if the decline continues like this, Jia Yapeng's business empire, which he has just started to develop, will soon be successful.

The road collapsed.

"Boss, our top priority now is to find out the source of the production of these cards, then call the police, bring these people to justice, and safeguard our legal rights!" Zhu Qiushui said, "But this may be difficult and will take a lot of time.

To investigate and collect evidence, we need the police to cooperate with us, which will probably take a long time!"
Chapter completed!
