Prepare for the Summer's End Offensive!

Bloodbath in the global chemical fiber market!?

After seeing the mission content clearly, Gao Yuan couldn't help but be stunned, wondering if this was a mission or if he was about to start a war.

"I knew it, this Future Technology System was definitely not that simple," Gao Yuan muttered to himself after a long while.

From the perspective of the Chinese language, there was no way this could be a simple task. A "bloodbath" would at least involve corpses strewn everywhere and rivers of blood.

First step, second step, third step...

Could it be that after the research and development and manufacturing stages, the final move was about to be revealed?

Gao Yuan, who had originally planned to go home and get a good night's sleep, woke up the next day with dark circles under his eyes.

It was only then that he suddenly realized that the system he had always thought was simple was actually quite insane at its core.

After washing his face and eating a few pan-fried buns his father had bought from outside, Gao Yuan said goodbye to his parents and returned to the factory.

Uncle Liu, the gatekeeper, told him that it was August 10th, the day the workers had agreed to collect their wages, and that some people had already come that morning.

Gao Yuan nodded slightly and went to the finance department to find Cao Feiyu.

The original accountant and cashier had already resigned. Cao Feiyu had recruited four more people from the talent market, which was more than enough to handle the current situation.

"Give those who voluntarily resigned an extra month's salary. As for the old employees waiting to start work, if they are willing to stay and continue working, increase their salary and bonuses. If they are not willing, give them three months' salary," Gao Yuan instructed Cao Feiyu.

There were a few loyal old employees in the factory who had persisted and waited even when the factory encountered difficulties and when Gao Xiangnan was hospitalized.

Gao Yuan intended to keep these employees, assigning them to warehouse management or logistics. After all, such a large place would always need people to maintain it.

Cao Feiyu nodded in agreement. Then, Gao Yuan went to the laboratory and met Xu Qingzhou and his students.

Since receiving Director Qin's support, Xu Qingzhou's team had almost permanently stationed themselves at Gao Yuan's place. He only returned to the national laboratory for meetings or when he had unavoidable business. The rest of the time, he ate and slept at the factory.

Besides being interested in the research on X Fiber, Xu Qingzhou was more concerned about Gao Yuan himself.

After being instilled with knowledge by the system, Gao Yuan's material chemistry level was actually far beyond Xu Qingzhou's. The research work was also completed jointly by the two of them.

Xu Qingzhou felt that by staying by Gao Yuan's side, he could learn many useful skills that were not taught in books, which benefited him greatly. Moreover, the two of them had compatible values and were both idealists.

If nothing unexpected happened, it was only a matter of time before Xu Qingzhou resigned from his position at the national laboratory and dedicated himself entirely to Gao Yuan's side.

Gao Yuan returned to his office and soon fell into deep thought. As noon approached, he called Boss Xu of Xiyin Group.

"Summer's End Offensive!?" Boss Xu was taken aback when he heard Gao Yuan's idea.

Gao Yuan nodded slightly. "That's right. It's already August, and summer will be over soon. The window of opportunity for us is limited. To open up the market within this limited time, we must make a strong move."

"We will use a price war and powerful propaganda to create a craze for high-tech clothing, making all potential customers aware of the technological content of our products."

Boss Xu said with some confusion, "Even if you didn't say it, we wouldn't miss any opportunity to strike at our competitors. However, the timing is really not ideal. Launching a large-scale promotion at the end of summer and ending it hastily in early autumn could easily give consumers the impression of a strong start but a weak finish."

Boss Xu was quite professional in the fast fashion sector. He knew very well that even promotional campaigns needed to be sustained.

The secret to Huaxia's fast fashion companies sweeping across the West has always been speed and low prices. Sweden's H&M Group is a typical example of a company focused on speed. Their clothing takes only two weeks from design to shelf, which was considered astonishing in the industry.

However, later, when Huaxia companies entered the fast fashion sector, Westerners were shocked to find that their efficiency was insignificant compared to Huaxia companies. Shein and Zaful only took a week to get products on the shelves!

This meant that within a week, Huaxia companies could turn designers' sketches into products and ship them worldwide.

In terms of new product development, Shein and Zaful released an average of 260 new products per week, a level of efficiency that shocked their competitors.

Consumers also seemed to have discovered a new continent, with new arrivals every day. They felt uncomfortable if they didn't browse their websites.

In the past, the average price of Zara and H&M was thirty dollars, which Western consumers already considered very cheap.

Huaxia companies directly halved the price, with Shein and Zaful's average selling price being only fifteen dollars!

Don't assume that low prices mean low quality. The new generation of Huaxia merchants going overseas are no longer the kind who sold paper shoes to Russia or passed off inferior artificial leather as fur.

According to the current quality standards of Shein and Zaful, each garment cannot have more than three loose threads, a feat that even Zara and H&M could not achieve, bringing them close to Uniqlo, which wins on quality rather than style.

In short, Boss Xu quickly understood the significance of the Summer's End Offensive. This was not a simple promotion, but a signal that Huaxia fast fashion companies were about to transform, shifting from being fast and cheap to being fast, cheap, and technologically advanced.

Currently, there were no such clothing companies on Earth. There were many companies focused on technology, but they were usually not cheap.

For example, Nike's high-tech running shoes that enabled Kipchoge to break the two-hour marathon barrier. The performance of these shoes was so powerful that they were banned by the International Association of Athletics Federations, who believed that athletes wearing them in competitions amounted to cheating.

However, at the same time, these shoes were not cheap. Even the version sold to ordinary consumers was close to two thousand yuan, and the professional version used by top athletes was even more expensive.

After thinking for a moment, Boss Xu worried, "Suppose we now invest heavily in launching X1 Fiber fabric, telling the world that besides being fast and cheap, we can also produce clothing with 'black technology' attributes."

"But summer will end in a few days. What about autumn? Will we put the X1 Fiber away and bring out pure cotton fabric?"

"So that's what you're worried about," Gao Yuan said with a dismissive expression. He smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry. We will launch the Autumn Offensive in the fall, and when winter comes, we will have the Winter Offensive."

Pfft~

Boss Xu was stunned and almost spat out his drink.

He suddenly realized that Gao Yuan dared to say this because he had likely already prepared X2 Fiber for shipment!

It had only been less than twenty days since their last meeting, and the second-generation product was already out?

This research and development speed was too heaven-defying!

Ugh, I actually broke the keyboard. Fortunately, I have an old one, so I'll make do with it for now.
