Reborn since 1993

Chapter 448 The random flowers are becoming more and more charming

"As the year draws to a close, there isn't much happening in China!"

Ren Yuefeng said to Li Dongling that all major industries and companies in the country are basically busy at the moment. In addition, the Chinese New Year period is the largest consumption period of the year, and colleagues are all selling goods and have no time to fight with each other.

"Some new rules and regulations have been implemented within Dongling Hi-Tech, and they will be officially implemented next year!"

As the general manager of Dongling Hi-Tech, Ren Yuefeng is not just a figurehead, but has great authority. The management system currently operating in Dongling Hi-Tech was created by Ren Yuefeng.

The current implementation of information management is also led by Ren Yuefeng. Of course, no matter where, every change in the rules will lead to changes in rights.

If you can't keep up with the changes in Dongling Hi-Tech, you may be marginalized, if not eliminated. This is inevitable.

After this incident, there will definitely be some new changes in the management of Dongling Hi-Tech. There will be more new faces, and some "old employees" will be transferred to unpopular departments or transferred to other local departments. Perhaps the so-called "manager faction" will have more power within Dongling Hi-Tech.

But regardless of whether he has selfish motives or not, there is absolutely nothing wrong with Ren Yuefeng promoting electronic management and allowing Dongling Hi-Tech to enter modern office and management. Li Dongling is unlikely to oppose it and will instead support Ren Yuefeng.

"There is one more thing," Gao Zhiyuan, who was usually taciturn, suddenly said, "The Ministry of Law, together with Shenzhou Storage Company, has already investigated and obtained a list of companies in China that infringed Shenzhou USB flash drive patents and evidence!"

Gao Zhiyuan has always been very low-key within Dongling Hi-Tech. He is a brother of Gao Peng, who is in charge of the logistics department of Dongling Hi-Tech. As a result, the Gao family's influence in Pingyang has continued to increase.

Gao Peng is in charge of the logistics department of Dongling Hi-Tech, and Gao Zhiyuan is in charge of the legal department. With the influence of Dongling Hi-Tech in Pingyang, the Gao family will naturally also rise in power.

But precisely because of the relationship between Gao Peng and Gao Zhiyuan, rumors surrounding the two of them have almost never stopped, which is also the reason why Gao Zhiyuan acts low-key.

Of course, no matter how many rumors there are, whether it is Gao Zhiyuan or Gao Peng, the most important thing for them to sit firmly in their current positions is the support of Li Dongling, because the biggest reliance for their positions is the trust of the company's founder. Without Li Dongling's support, they will never be able to sit firmly in their current positions!

Although Gao Zhiyuan acts low-key, his legal ability is acceptable. Most importantly, he will not hide any inside information from Li Dongling. This is especially important to Li Dongling. Legal affairs are a highly professional thing. If something happens, ordinary people cannot see it. To be honest, you must have a confidant to keep an eye on it.

Gao Zhiyuan plays such a role for Li Dongling. His ability may not be the best, but he must not hide anything from Li Dongling, so as to prevent Li Dongling from getting into trouble with the contract and some documents!

But Gao Zhiyuan also wanted to do something. He wanted to make a big splash in this USB flash drive patent infringement case!

When Ren Yuefeng and Hu Zixian heard Gao Zhiyuan's words, they both looked towards Li Dongling. Although there have been patent lawsuits in the country, there have been no lawsuits that have shaken the industry.

There is no consensus in China on patents, and people don't even take it seriously. Whether it's technology companies or public opinion, the concept of copycats and patent infringements is still just "borrowing". Some even advocate copycats because they are cheap...

As for the companies whose patents have been infringed and whose products have been copied, not many people care about how much money, resources, manpower and time they have spent to develop their products and patents.

Some public opinions even believe that it is just "making a mountain out of a molehill", including the previous lawsuit between Dongling Hi-Tech's Silver Sable Mouse and Microsoft. In fact, there are quite a few people in China who hold this view.

If Shenzhou USB flash drive files a lawsuit, it may become the most high-profile lawsuit in the domestic technology industry. Once the lawsuit begins, it may trigger public opinion.

"After the Chinese New Year, we will start suing!"

Li Dongling said directly that in fact, in the past few years, Dongling Hi-Tech’s products and patents have been counterfeited and infringed countless times.

From the earliest satellite dish for stargazing, to electronic pet machines, to Shenzhou digital cordless phones, Feiyan mini radios, PHS and Shenzhou USB flash drives, there are quite a number of companies in China that rely on copycat Dongling Hi-Tech products to make a living. As for patent fees, of course, they have never paid a penny to Dongling Hi-Tech. This wave of lawsuits can also serve as a warning to those copycat manufacturers, so that they will be more restrained in the future.

"Since we are going to sue, we should focus on the biggest one. This will serve as a warning to others. One strike will prevent a hundred blows from coming!"

After hearing these words, Ren Yuefeng, Hu Zixian, Chen Tao and others naturally understood which company Li Dongling was referring to. Among the companies selling USB flash drives in China, who else could be the most famous and have the highest revenue, except Lenovo?

In addition, Lenovo had secretly set up a National Computer Developers Association but excluded Dongling Hi-Tech. It is almost self-evident who it was targeting.

This wave of lawsuit over the USB flash drive patent must be fought back. If we don’t fight back and let other companies know the consequences of provoking Dongling Hi-Tech, then doesn’t it mean that anyone can point fingers at Dongling Hi-Tech in the future?
"In addition to suing companies that infringe Shenzhou USB flash drive patents in China, we will also join forces with other companies in the USB flash drive alliance, such as Toshiba, IBM, Philips, and PNY, to jointly sue companies that infringe Shenzhou USB flash drive patents!

We will also start filing lawsuits in Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, old Europe, America and other places, and join forces with companies like IBM to demand that local governments suspend the sale of products from these infringing companies, etc.!"

Li Dongling's words sounded murderous. The auditorium of Dongling High-tech Electronic Industrial Park was heated at this moment. Besides, it was full of people. Although it was icy and snowy outside, it was warm as spring inside. However, Ren Yuefeng and the others felt a chill in their hearts when they heard Li Dongling's words.

According to the agreement signed by Shenzhou USB flash drive, Toshiba, IBM and other four companies, the five companies formed the Global USB flash drive alliance and worked together in the USB flash drive industry to target companies that infringe on USB flash drive patents. Now is the time for them to fulfill their obligations. This is not only for the Shenzhou USB flash drive, but also for their own interests!
If the lawsuit is only filed domestically, it may become a boring soap opera and may not have any result for several years. Even if the lawsuit is finally won, it may only be a fine of a few hundred thousand yuan, which is not a big deal.

When the situation cannot be improved domestically, shooting overseas may have completely different effects. If a certain brand of computer is implicated in the USB flash drive patent case, and is sued in Hong Kong, Siam and other places, and the computers are even banned from sale, or even issued huge fines, what will happen when the news gets back to China?
What will happen if companies like Toshiba and IBM stop supplying computer components to this company?
When the overseas market is likely to be lost, the road to going overseas is completely interrupted, and the stock price plummets, Li Dongling has no idea whether this company will refuse to admit defeat or admit defeat at the speed of light...

Ren Yuefeng feels that if the USB flash drive patent lawsuit can force a certain brand of computer to completely admit defeat and pay a huge amount of compensation, it will indeed serve as a warning to others, and other copycat manufacturers will also have to weigh the consequences.

"But if we make such a big fuss, it will be too much of a commotion, after all, they are both domestic brands."

Ren Yuefeng thought for a while and said, this kind of action, such a heavy hand against a domestic company, will definitely cause controversy. The underworld is not only about fighting and killing, but also about human relationships. By then, Ren Yuefeng didn't know how many units and individuals would plead for that company. If Dongling Hi-Tech insisted on taking ruthless action, it would probably offend many people.

"You treat the other party as a comrade, will the other party treat Dongling Hi-Tech as a comrade?"

Li Dongling glanced at Ren Yuefeng and asked. Ren Yuefeng was surprised for a moment, then he thought of the Computer Developers Association and was shocked.

He suddenly thought that if a certain computer brand did not regard Dongling Hi-Tech as an ordinary opponent but as a mortal enemy, and the opponent was ready to kill him but he was still indecisive, he might suffer a great loss in the end.

“I’m glad to see many familiar faces again this year!”

After the annual meeting started, after the host left, Li Dongling was invited to the stage. This is the annual practice. Last year, Li Dongling was here and said that Dongling Hi-Tech had realized what he boasted about that year!
“Some of the promises I made here before on behalf of Tanglin Hi-Tech’s management have been fulfilled, but some have not yet been fulfilled!
The staff community housing has now begun to be delivered, and the Qilin Scholarship has covered all the children of Dongling Hi-Tech employees. The cooperative care centers, kindergartens, and primary schools between Dongling Hi-Tech and the Hanxi Education Department are being promoted. Next year, the first batch of children of Dongling Hi-Tech employees in Hanxi Province will be able to enroll..."

Every time Li Dongling spoke, there was a round of applause from the audience, because they all saw what Li Dongling said and really did it.

The average age of Dongling Hi-Tech's employees is very young now, and many of them are about to get married or have just gotten married and had children. The after-school care centers, kindergartens, primary schools, etc. established by Dongling Hi-Tech and the Hanxi Education Department are really needed for these employees' families.

To be honest, the cost of establishing a hosting center is not actually high, and is borne equally by Dongling Hi-Tech's logistics department and staff, but it can solve big problems for many people.

In the future, when the problem of difficulty in going to school arises, these benefits of Dongling Hi-Tech will probably become the reason for countless people to join Dongling Hi-Tech, and will be able to attract a large number of talents to Dongling Hi-Tech.

“But the flowers are so numerous that they dazzle the eyes, and the grass is so shallow that the horse’s hooves cannot be seen. For Dongling Hi-Tech, the future is not a safe one!
This year, I said in an interview with the media that Dongling Hi-Tech is not far from collapse, and this sentence is still valid..."
