Chapter 142 I Must Sue Them
At nine o'clock in the morning, Abella conducted a live stream on behalf of the company, claiming to announce the release of their new products, and even had Abigail as the host.
"Hello everyone, I'm Abigail, the designer of Sunrise Company Limited..." Abigail was a little shy facing the camera for the first time, but still greeted everyone with great enthusiasm.
"Hello everyone, I'm designer Jonathan." Jonathan also greeted the audience,
"I'm very glad to present our new products to you all in this form today, and I
"Look at this floral dress in my hands, do you recognize it? That's right! This is the new design that The Clothes Company released yesterday!"
"Actually, this design is quite conservative. Let me show you how I designed it." Abigail took out a pair of scissors and cut the dress in half at the waist. She trimmed the top part neatly, removing extra sleeves and cutting open the shoulders. Then she slightly shortened the bottom half of the skirt and stitched it back together, creating a trendy off-shoulder floral dress.
"This is the first new product we are releasing today!"
Other than the fabric, it's completely different from The Clothes Company's floral dress. From the appearance, it looks much more attractive, fresh, and accentuates the figure.
"Now, take a look at this doll dress. Watch how I transform it into a sexy fitted top and a pencil skirt with a hip-hugging silhouette." Abigail took out the scissors again and began trimming heavily.
The number of viewers kept increasing, and after Abigail modified seven or eight designs, the viewer count had reached 320,000 and was still rising.
"Miss Medici, look, many people are placing orders in the live streaming room!" Joseph couldn't believe it. He didn't expect this method to actually work.
After Abella sent Benjamin to the police station yesterday, she modified all 23 designs.
She simply divided the dress in half in the simplest way, or added puffy sleeves, changed a V-neck to a round neck, made it shorter, and so on. With some additional accessories, completely new dresses were created.
Yesterday, she went to the production workshop and asked the workers to pause their current tasks and focus on modifying the finished products in the warehouse. Some only needed a few cuts, while others required minor adjustments. The workers quickly came up with many new designs.
"It's now 580,000! The number of viewers has exceeded 580,000!" Joseph was extremely excited.
"Miss Medici, look, there are many comments saying that our new designs are better-looking, more creative. They are canceling their orders from The Clothes Company and placing orders with us instead!"
Senior managers from The Clothes Company, upon receiving the message, became furious at once and held an emergency meeting.
Each manager pounded the table in anger.
"This is outrageous! Sunrise Company is live-streaming modifications to our new designs. They're basically slapping us in the face!"
"Their viewer count has already exceeded 700,000. At this rate, they'll surpass one million soon!"
"The worst part is that, other than the fabric, the designs are completely different. We have nowhere to sue them for copyright infringement!"
"What's most frustrating is that their prices are cheaper than ours! We've already had 12,000 orders cancelled on the backend.
"If we continue like this, we will end up with nothing!"
"Just who is Abigail anyway? How could she come up with such stunning designs with just a few strokes?"
Little did everyone know that Rachel and Andrew had colluded and stolen Abigail's design sketches. They believed that these new designs were all Andrew's own ideas. They were filled with indignation, feeling that Sunrise Company had gone too far!
At this moment, Andrew looked at Abigail on the livestream as she transformed a halter dress into an elegant evening gown, elevating its style. He clenched his fist under the conference table.
These 23 designs were clearly Abigail's creations, but within such a short period of time, she had managed to innovate and improve the dresses with just a few simple steps.
There must be a master guiding her from behind!
Otherwise, with her abilities, she would never be able to create such stunning clothes!
"Lydia, look at her design style. Doesn't it resemble Lady Margaret's style?"
"I had the same feeling just now. If Lady Margaret is not on the internet and no one has seen her, I would seriously suspect that Lady Margaret gave her the ideas! Look at how each modified dress is even more upscale than before!"
"Yes, these designs could easily sell for thousands of dollars, resembling the high-end dresses hanging in luxury department stores. Yet she's only selling them for a little over a hundred dollars!"
Wouldn't this cause a frenzy of buying?
"How could a small designer like her create such beautiful works? Is she exceptionally talented or is someone guiding her?"
"Their company shouldn't have any other outstanding talents..."
Rachel impatiently rapped the table. "We're having this emergency meeting to come up with strategies, not for each of you to analyze the styles! Speak up if anyone has a better idea. We can't just sit idly by as their orders increase while ours diminish!"
As she said this, she glanced at the livestream, seeing that the number of viewers had reached nine hundred and eighty thousand. Her heart couldn't bear the strain, feeling as if a lump of old blood was stuck in her chest, ready to be vomited out.
"We can sue her for insulting our works, causing us significant economic loss!" Andrew proposed, "They are clearly openly snatching customers from us. It's obvious that they have a grudge against our company. Since that's the case, there's no need for us to save face for them."
"But their headquarters is Medici... It will cause a big scene. The Medici family won't let us off." Rachel still had some fear towards the power of the Medici family.
"But they were the ones who insulted our works first." Andrew said this and cast another glance at Abigail on the livestream. Surprisingly, she had even transformed a pair of denim shorts into a chic skirt.
The pants were changed into two cute and compact phone cases...
One executive couldn't help but say, "This, this doesn't count as an insult... They haven't said a bad word about us from beginning to end, they just innovated on our existing foundation..."
This can't be considered plagiarism either...
It's heaven and earth away from plagiarism...
"Anyway, we have to sue them! We can't let those petty people succeed!" Andrew insisted on suing them.
Rachel called the legal department and swiftly sent a lawyer's letter, determined to make them pay the price!
"Ms. Burne , it's not good. We've already had 34,000 orders canceled on our platform, including some manufacturers, partners, and physical stores..."
"They say Sunrise Company's clothing is cheaper, the styles are better, and they can ship immediately after placing an order."
"They use Wind Express. If you order now, you can receive it tomorrow."
This undoubtedly grasps the psychology of online shoppers. The faster the shipping, the more satisfied they are.
