How A Ride-Hailing Driver Comes To Dominate The World? [EN]: Chapter 120

## You Meddling Ride-Hailing Driver!_What if a Ride-Hailing Driver Has Some Money?

Yang Chen waved his hand, signaling the store manager to come closer, and then handed her the bag.

“Take a look at this bag. Is it a design from our Louiways designers? I’m not very familiar with our products, so please compare it carefully,” Yang Chen said.

The store manager carefully observed for a moment and said, “It looks a bit like our Summer Lotus series’ new product. Mr. Yang, please wait a moment while I have someone bring a real bag over for comparison. Wang Li, Wang Li, bring over a pink Summer Lotus.”

A Louiways store employee responded and quickly brought over a pink bag.

The differences and similarities were obvious when the two bags were compared side by side.

The differences were definitely in the materials and workmanship, which were clearly different, and also the logo.

The genuine Louiways is spelled Louiways, while the female streamer’s bag is spelled Loulways, and they deliberately made the ‘l’ look like it’s connected to the ‘i,’ making it difficult to spot the difference without careful examination.

The similarity is that the appearance and interior of the two bags are almost identical.

The female streamer’s live broadcast background was also the Louiways store, so online buyers would definitely believe her lies and believe that this was a Louiways designer product.

Anyone familiar with Douyin [TikTok in China] live broadcasts knows that there are too many live broadcasts that skirt the line.

Generally, no one cares unless the amount involved is too large. Only when they’re fattened up enough to be worth killing will anyone step in [meaning authorities only intervene when the scam is large enough to warrant attention].

The store manager quickly reported to Yang Chen, “Mr. Yang, her bag is clearly plagiarizing our Summer Lotus series.”

Yang Chen said, “This beautiful lady says her bag is a design from a Louiways designer.”

The store manager quickly asked, “Miss, are you saying this bag is a design from a Louiways designer? Which designer’s work is it, please?”

The female streamer’s palms were sweating, and she nervously replied, “It’s the work of Hilta Bales. We bought her design drafts, so it looks similar to the Louiways Summer Lotus series.”

The store manager looked helpless. The headquarters’ designers were beyond her reach as a store manager.

The female streamer looked smug, thinking, “You can’t verify the headquarters’ designers, can you? I’ll take it off the shelves after selling it today, and you can’t do anything to me.”

She can only be described as naive for having such thoughts.

Although Yang Chen doesn’t participate in the daily operations and management of Louiways, he is, after all, the second-largest shareholder. He will definitely intervene when someone infringes on the brand’s rights.

Damaging the brand image and affecting sales is equivalent to affecting Yang Chen’s dividends.

Yang Chen asked, “Do you know she’s live-streaming and selling bags here?”

The store manager quickly replied, “I saw it, but I didn’t expect her to sell this kind of bag. We didn’t come over to check because it was during work hours.”

Yang Chen nodded and said, “I’ll believe you for now. But I have to say this upfront, if it’s later found out that someone in the store colluded with her, no matter who it is, they will pay the legal price.”

The store manager quickly replied, “Understood! Mr. Yang, rest assured, I can guarantee that it has absolutely nothing to do with our store.”

Yang Chen nodded and took out his phone to find the phone number of the LVMH [Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy, a luxury conglomerate] president’s secretary and dialed it.

Soon, the secretary answered the phone.

Secretary: “Mr. Yang, hello, what can I do for you?

What are your instructions?”

Yang Chen: “Does Louiways have a designer named Hilta Bales?”

Secretary: “Yes, yes, yes, she is Louiways’ chief designer and also the designer we arranged to make clothes for Mr. Yang this time. Did Mr. Yang hear some news about her?”

Yang Chen: “I have a streamer here selling bags that are almost identical to our Summer Lotus series’ new summer collection. She said she bought the design drafts from Hilta Bales, which is why they are so similar. Can you ask Hilta Bales if she sold any design drafts?”

Secretary: “What? Is there such a thing? Our rules do not allow designers to cooperate with people or companies outside the company in any form. As Louiways’ chief designer, Hilta Bales would never make such a low-level mistake. I will confirm with her now and have her send you a video to explain in person.”

Yang Chen hummed and hung up the phone.

The female streamer saw that the situation was not good and quickly signaled her assistants to take the things away.

Yang Chen said with a serious face, “If I’m not mistaken, your kind of live-streaming sales have recorded backups, right? Do you think taking the things away now will solve the problem?”

The female streamer panicked and quickly asked, “You… what exactly do you want to do? I’m just selling a bag, why are you doing this?”

Yang Chen said angrily, “Just sell the bag properly, why are you belittling men? Who said that women have to rely on men to live? Who said that men don’t love women if they don’t give them gifts beyond their means? The conflict between men and women is so serious now because of trash like you who deliberately provoke the relationship between men and women to make money. Love is supposed to be mutual and fair, but now you’ve turned it into a one-sided effort for men to cough up blood [spend excessively]. You can sell bags openly and honestly, why do you have to skirt the line like this? You took our Louiways Summer Lotus new collection, changed a few letters, and dared to sell it, claiming it was a design draft sold to you by the chief designer. I’ve already contacted the Hilta Bales you mentioned, and she will send me a video later, and we’ll confront each other face to face.”

The female streamer was completely speechless. The merchant who had been hiding in the crowd saw that the situation was not good and quickly turned around and slipped away, abandoning both the money and the bags.

Those who had been fooled by the female streamer and bought the bags because they couldn’t save face quickly stepped forward to return them.

“You’re selling fake goods! I want a refund!”

“I want a refund too! This is too infuriating. I only bought it just now because I was pressured by your ridiculous words. After listening to this brother’s words, I suddenly realized. Damn it! Refund! Otherwise, I’ll call the police and arrest you!”

“I want a refund too. If you don’t give me a refund, I’ll call the police.”

…

Usually, it doesn’t matter if you sell fake goods online through live broadcasts, and generally no one cares.

There are a lot of fake goods live broadcasts with brands like Romon [a Chinese clothing brand] on Douyin, and no one cares.

However, it’s different when she comes offline to sell goods together.

Selling fake goods offline is not just a simple refund.

Yang Chen said to those who wanted to return the goods, “Brothers, please wait a moment. After I confirm that she is selling fake goods, you can get three times the compensation, not just a refund. Why not make more than 20,000 yuan by just strolling around?”

Everyone suddenly understood.

That’s right, this is a good opportunity to make money.

Yang Chen was already angry when he met those two embarrassing men in the Apple store earlier.

Now that he encountered a fake-selling streamer who was trying to attract attention by demeaning men, Yang Chen vented all his resentment on her.

If he doesn’t make her unforgettable for the rest of her life today, he would be letting down her usual shameless behavior of humiliating and belittling men.

“Brother, you’re right. Haha…”

“You are more assertive and rational, and you weren’t fooled by her. I just bought it because I was pressured by her words and had no choice but to buy it.”

“Brother, what do you do? I don’t think you’re a ride-hailing driver.”

…

Yang Chen smiled and replied, “I really am a ride-hailing driver.”

The female streamer asked angrily, “Why are you, a ride-hailing driver, meddling so much? Are you showing off?”

The Louiways store manager next to her immediately said, “He is also the second-largest shareholder of our Louiways Group. You are plagiarizing our Louiways products and using our brand to deceive consumers, of course he has to care!”

The scene and the live broadcast room fell silent again…
