"I didn't expect you to know how to register brands and trademarks?"

Seeing that Jiang Ning seemed to have known about the brand name and trademark for a long time, Chen Heping had a new understanding of Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning laughed dryly and immediately explained: "I have been working with merchants in the provincial capital. I occasionally listened to them a few times and then I wrote them down.

I originally planned to find an opportunity to ask you, the brand name and trademark matters were delayed by the construction of the factory. If I hadn't met someone selling my chili sauce in the county town today, I wouldn't have thought of this."

Chen Heping knew that Jiang Ning was smart and didn't doubt anything.

Seeing that Chen Heping did not continue to ask, Jiang Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The two began to discuss the registration of brand names and trademarks.

Jiang Ning took out the notebook and the two of them had a long time to decide the brand name, which was called "Kukouxiang".

After confirming the brand name, Jiang Ning handed over the family affairs to Chen Heping, and went to the county town again the next day.

In the late 1980s, everyone was encouraged to do business, and the policies for private enterprises were also good.

Jiang Ning quickly prepared the brand name and trademark at the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and then found a printing shop in the county town, wanting to design a more regular label paper and paste it outside the chili sauce bottle.

Jiang Ning searched all over the county town and finally found a dilapidated copy shop in an alley.

Jiang Ning stood outside the photocopy shop and knocked on the door.

After a long time, a middle-aged man wearing black-framed glasses and a dark blue gown opened the door.

The man looked at Jiang Ning and asked in confusion: "Who are you looking for?"

"Hello sir, I see there is a copy shop at your door. Can you print something?"

"Come in!"

The man opened the door and let Jiang Ning enter the house.

The inside of the house is very tidy, the tabletops are spotless and the ground is clean, which is completely different from the scene outside the house.

Jiang Ning glanced in the room and did not see any printing equipment. She couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Sir, you don't have printing equipment here. Can you really print things?"

If she can't print things, she will continue to search, and she can't waste too long in one place.

The middle-aged man pointed at himself, "I'm the printing device."

Jiang Ning was shocked and confused, and couldn't speak.

The middle-aged man sat down at the table, looked up at Jiang Ning with a friendly face, "What do you want to print?"

“I want to print a label paper to stick it on top of the chili sauce I made.”

“What’s the length and width?”

Jiang Ning recalled the size of the label paper on the chili sauce bottle I saw in modern times, and roughly estimated that it would be reported to the middle-aged man.

The man cut the white paper in his hand into the size of Jiang Ning and continued to ask: "What are you going to make on it?"

"I plan to..."

Jiang Ning said, while the man wrote and painted.

After about an hour, a piece of molded label paper appeared in front of Jiang Ning.

In order to fit her chili sauce, Jiang Ning chose black letters with red background, trademarks were also included in the middle, and a small figure with some ingredients.

The man made label paper as neat as modern with bare hands, and Jiang Ning was stunned.

I looked at the label paper for a long time before I gave the man a thumbs up, "Sir, you are so awesome."

The man smiled and waved his hand at Jiang Ning, "No, I haven't done it for too long, and I'm a little unfamiliar with my hands."

"I think this is very good, so you can follow this and get me a few hundred copies. Is it OK?"

"You really want it?"

Jiang Ning nodded, "How much do you want to make a bill, just open your mouth."

In this era, the printing and copying function is not as good as modern, so she originally had no hope of finding a copy shop.

But I didn't expect that I found it and drew it with my bare hands.

She had to sigh that people's wisdom and ability are unimaginable.

The man smiled at Jiang Ning, "I have opened a store here for so long, and you are the first one to come to me to copy it."

Jiang Ning was a little shocked.

"My name is Liang Sheng. I used to be a teacher in Shanghai. When I was old, I began to miss my hometown, so I returned to my hometown.

Because there is no other skill except being able to write good characters, I thought of opening a copy shop here, but people in the county know little about copying and have almost no business."

Jiang Ningmingran said that she respects capable people very much and is unwilling to let capable people be buried.

"Mr. Liang, I am in the chili sauce business. I have just registered my brand name and trademark recently. I will always need this kind of label paper in the future. We can cooperate for a long time. In the future, I will recommend you to them when I meet a suitable merchant."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Liang Sheng was a honest scholar. Without the twists and turns of businessmen, he got up and walked to the old copier in the room, lifted up the dark blue silk cloth on the copier.

After taking pictures of the old-fashioned photocopier, he said to Jiang Ning: "This is the photocopier in my store. It was something that the school in Shanghai had broken down before. I spent some money to buy it and repair it.

I drew one and used this copier to copy the rest."

Jiang Ning nodded.

Liang Sheng thought for a moment and continued to speak, "You are my first guest, we are also destined to be together. Give me five cents a bill!"

Jiang Ning calculated, "Mr. Liang, I need two thousand copies every month, and I will give you six cents each."

Six cents!?

Liang Sheng was stunned. He didn't know much about doing business, but he understood the principle of being a businessman without any traitor.

Everyone wants to fight for the best interests of themselves, but unexpectedly, Jiang Ning not only did not lower the price, but also increased the price.

"I'll give you five cents, but you even added one cent to me. Are you not afraid of losing money when doing business like this?" Liang Sheng asked with a smile.

Jiang Ning shook her head, "I estimated your daily workload, as well as the wear and tear of materials and machines. I think I should give you six cents a piece.

I focus on win-win situations in business and don’t want to take advantage of anyone, so that both of us can continue to cooperate.”

Liang Sheng looked at Jiang Ning with admiration and praised: "You have changed my view of businessmen."

"What do you think of businessmen? Do you have any businessmen and are not traitorous?"

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ning was so honest that the two looked at each other and did not continue the topic.

In the light of being responsible for the first order business, Liang Sheng insisted on drawing a new one for Jiang Ning.

After communicating the details with Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning believed in Liang Sheng's skills and asked him to copy them with confidence and boldness. She would have someone to get 500 pictures in three days.

After the two discussed it, Jiang Ning gave Liang Sheng a deposit of 50 yuan, and then gave the rest of the money and everything else.

After sending Jiang Ning away, Liang Sheng roughly estimated the profit of placing the order.

In addition to the material costs and the price of machine wear and repair, he can still earn seventy or eighty yuan.

This number is good in a small county town.

Thinking of Jiang Ning's trust and generosity in him, after sending Jiang Ning away, he immediately began to draw label paper for Jiang Ning.

…

Three days later, Jiang Ning told Feng Xing about Liang Sheng's address and asked Lao Chen to take Feng Xing to Liang Sheng's store to get the label paper back.

Jiang Ning was very satisfied with Liang Sheng's improved label paper and told Lao Chen to go to Liang Sheng's store when he returned to the county town and talk to Liang Sheng.

With the label paper with brand name and trademark printed, her chili sauce has become more and more professional.

The last step to bottle the chili sauce is to put label paper on the bottle.

The quality of the label paper in this era is not as good as modern, and is basically not waterproof, and it also saves people from recycling chili shakers and making pirated chili sauce.

The next day was the day when Fang Yuan and Fan Weigang came to pick up the goods.

Jiang Ning took Li Hong and the others to pack the chili sauce the night before, put it in a cardboard box and put it in a waiting for them to get the goods.

Fan Weigang arrived at Jiang Ning's house at around 11 o'clock and moved the things into the car, but did not rush to leave Jiang Ning's house.

After Jiang Ning finished his work, he stood in front of the car and called Jiang Ning.

"Boss Jiang."

Jiang Ning turned around and saw that Fan Weigang was still here, so she walked towards him with a smile, "Chef Fan is still here."

"Well, I want to tell you something."

Seeing Fan Weigang's serious expression, Jiang Ning realized that something must have happened and asked anxiously: "What's wrong?"

"I recently found someone in the provincial capital that sold the same chili sauce as you, and the price was cheaper than yours. I bought a bottle and tried it, and found that the taste was similar to what you did. What's going on?"

Jiang Ning frowned slightly, "Actually, I found it in the county town."

"I have worked with you for so long, of course I trust your chili sauce more, but if the taste of the two stores is similar and the price of your house is more expensive than others, our boss will definitely have an objection. You'd better check this matter." Fan Wei just reminded him.
