Reborn since 1993

Chapter 461 The spring breeze in February is like scissors
"Now we have evidence against several companies that infringed Shenzhou USB flash drive patents. It's just a matter of where to sue!"

Gao Zhiyuan, general manager of the legal department of Dongling Hi-Tech, spoke up.

This is also due to the fact that how did the so-called Longgang Invincible, Nanshan Pizza Hut, and Haidian Tumbler get their names? It is because Chrysanthemum Factory, Penguin, and the latecomer ByteDance have almost never lost lawsuits in their respective territories.

Of course, Dongling Hi-Tech now has such a buff. When it comes to lawsuits in Hanxi, no matter whether the company is domestic or foreign, once it comes to the land of Hanxi and faces Dongling Hi-Tech, the chances of winning are likely to be uncertain.

But even if you win the lawsuit locally, you will face a problem. If the other party is also a local tyrant, it will not be so easy to injure him.

It is very likely that you win the lawsuit, but you cannot hurt the other party at all. In the end, the lawsuit may be in vain, and you will never get compensation or apology.

Li Dongling thought for a moment and said, "Fight this lawsuit in Hanxi!"

Li Dongling was not concerned about Dongling Hi-Tech's undefeated legal reputation, but mainly for speed. If a lawsuit was filed in Yanjing, Yangcheng and other places, then once some companies did their public relations, there would be countless people who would intercede for them.

There's no telling how long the lawsuit will drag on. Li Dongling wants a quick resolution and doesn't want it to drag on for too long.

"We will still follow the plan we made before the New Year. We will file lawsuits and ban the sale of companies that infringe the Shenzhou USB flash drive patents in many places, including Hanxi, Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, and old Europe. We will also ask the Customs Department and other departments to intervene and seal up those infringing products!"

Li Dongling's words made several heads of the Legal Department look eager. They obviously knew that Li Dongling was ready to let go and let the Legal Department do a great job.

Ren Yuefeng, Hu Zixian, Zhang Ao and others were not surprised by this. Dongling Hi-Tech, which had just been established, dared to confront Microsoft. How could it be afraid of SanDisk's domestic aliases such as Star Island, Luwen Yipan, and Lianxiang?
"How far will this lawsuit go?" Ren Yuefeng asked Li Dongling.

Dongling Hi-Tech is not afraid of lawsuits, but there are some considerations on how far the lawsuit should be taken. It is unrealistic to expect that a copyright infringement lawsuit can bring down a leading company in the industry with an annual revenue of more than 8 billion yuan, which claims to produce domestic computers but uses foreign components to assemble computers!

"The other party must admit that they have infringed the patent of Shenzhou USB and apologize to Shenzhou USB in the newspaper!"

"In addition, Dongling Hi-Tech, Shenzhou USB, Dongfang Optoelectronics, Dongxin Semiconductor, etc. can no longer be prevented from joining associations related to computer equipment!"

Li Dongling tapped the table with his fingers and said, to be honest, it is not easy to deal with a company that relies mainly on technology. As long as the other party has technology, a temporary setback may make the other party uncomfortable, but as long as the technology is still there, they will recover sooner or later.

As for some companies that rely on a false image to fool people, once that image is exposed, the high-tech halo surrounding them will be shattered, and they will be labeled as plagiarists and copycats. How long can they continue to fool people?
Maybe once is not enough, but as long as there is a first time, the halo disappears, it means that its health bar starts to light up, and sooner or later it will be killed by a single person!
“It’s possible to make the infringing companies pay compensation, but it’s probably not that easy to make them apologize publicly!”

A senior executive from the legal department who was sitting next to Gao Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke up and said that no company would be willing to admit that it had copied another company's technology, and even if it lost the lawsuit, it would continue to delay.

"Everything depends on human effort. This is also the purpose of inviting you to the Legal Department of Dongling Hi-Tech!"

Li Dongling said to several senior executives of the Legal Department that the salary offered by Dongling Hi-Tech was quite high, almost the same as the annual income of partners in medium-to-large law firms. Such a high salary was not something they could not achieve just by listening to their words.

"Whether it's a person or a company, when the price paid and the blood shed exceeds the cost of admitting defeat and apologizing, which one will it choose?" Li Dongling said to the crowd.

Gao Zhiyuan and others understood what Li Dongling meant, which was to beat the opponent so hard that he could not bear the loss. Only when he refused to admit defeat and had to pay a price would he choose to bow his head and admit defeat. Only then would the opponent be willing to choose the relatively lighter result, although it was not a good result either.

"Next Monday, Shenzhou U disk will formally file a lawsuit against those companies that infringe on patents!" Gao Zhiyuan said.

……

“The National Sport Fishing Association and the National Recreational Fishing Association were officially launched today!”

Amid the sound of firecrackers, reporters were invited to take photos. On February 2, the day when the dragon raises its head, many signs were hung in front of a three-story building next to the Pingyang Civil Affairs Bureau.

Next to these two big signs, there are signs of units under the General Administration of Sports, Civil Affairs, Agriculture, Cultural Propaganda Committee and many other units. In theory, these units can all manage the Fishing Association, but at the same time, with the endorsement of these departments and units, the Fishing Association will not fail!

"Congratulations, President Li!"

When Li Dongling was shaking hands with people from the sports, civil affairs, and agriculture units in Yanjing, a director of the Yanjing Sports Bureau suddenly said to Li Dongling, "I don't deserve it. Director Cheng, it's too early to say that. The Fishing Association's board of directors has not yet been established, and it's still unknown who will become the president!" Li Dongling said.

Hearing Li Dongling's words, the people coming from Yanjing and the staff from Pingyang Municipal Government couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Although the board of directors of the fishing association has not been established yet, they know that Li Dongling will be the president of the fishing association. Not to say it is 100%, but at least 98% that there will be no accidents. The remaining accidents are that Li Dongling suddenly loses interest in this thing and refuses to take the position himself.

You know, the fact that the National Fishing Association was established so quickly is inseparable from Li Dongling. If it weren't for Li Dongling's promotion, the application to establish a fishing association might not have been approved even if it was delayed for another three to five years.

Looking at the various groups of people in front of him, Li Dongling wondered whether these departments and units would be able to get along peacefully with the Fishing Association like they do today in a few years.

When I found out that there was money to be made by hosting fishing competitions, I didn’t know what the scene would be like.

In the past, there were a variety of fishing competitions that emerged one after another, making people dazzled when watching, and there were different departments supporting them behind the scenes.

It seems that the prize money for holding a fishing competition can easily reach over one million dollars, but the number of fishing competitions held is increasing year by year because they really make money!

To participate in a fishing competition, you have to be a member of a fishing association. Not only do you have to pay membership fees every year, you also have to pay a competition registration fee. Plus, the competition is an advertisement for fishing gear, bait companies and other products. After a competition, the organizer can make at least a few million, and at most tens of millions, so naturally they try their best to hold competitions.

Li Dongling will be the president of the Fishing Association for two to three years at most, and then he will step down. By then, the Fishing Association will become a place of fame and fortune, with people fighting over the share of prize money and all kinds of bullshit happening. Li Dongling doesn't want to get involved in that shit.

Today the sign of the Fishing Association was put up. Not only personnel from the sports, civil affairs, agriculture and other departments were present, but also some well-known figures in the fishing industry were invited, including fishing gear companies, to show their support. A meeting to establish the board of directors will be held later, and the positions of president and chairman of the fishing association will be voted on at that time.

Among them, there is a company that was invited, or it could be said that it was a fishing gear company that had already been decided to cooperate with the fishing association, namely Guangwei Company, which came as a sponsor!

"Director Chen!"

Li Dongling and Guangwei's factory director Chen Guangwei came to an office of the Fishing Association. After closing the door, Li Dongling asked directly, "How is the development of Guangwei's new generation of fishing gear going?

After the Fishing Association's board of directors has voted, I will propose to hold the first domestic professional fishing competition. At that time, I will propose to choose Guangwei Fishing Gear as the special fishing rod for the competition. This is an opportunity for Guangwei Fishing Gear!"

At present, the reputation of Guangwei fishing gear is definitely not as good as that of overseas brands such as Shimano and Dayiwa.

As the president of the National Fishing Association, Li Dongling certainly has the right to designate that type of fishing gear as the special fishing rod for fishing competitions. Giving this opportunity to Guangwei is a double-edged sword for Guangwei.

If its fishing rods can stand the test, they may be able to soar into the mid-to-high-end fishing gear market through professional fishing competitions, and thus enter the vision of countless anglers across the country.

And if Guangwei's fishing rod failed to stand the test in the competition and broke in public, it would not be a fame, but a big loss, and it would probably be difficult for him to recover in the future.

Chen Guangwei also understood this truth. He rubbed his rough hands and said in a deep voice, "The new generation of Guangwei carbon fiber fishing rods is currently under experimentation. We will hand over the samples to Mr. Li for use as soon as possible. Guangwei guarantees that we will not let Mr. Li down for his support!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Guangwei hesitated for a moment, and then added, "But, now, Guangwei carbon fiber fishing rods still use carbon cloth from Nihon Toray!"

Li Dongling nodded, and he was not surprised. He asked another question, "What is the current development stage of Guangwei's T300 carbon cloth?"

Now Dongling Hi-Tech is also one of Guangwei's major shareholders. Previously, Li Dongling invested tens of millions in Guangwei and obtained 33% of Guangwei's equity.

Li Dongling invested in Guangwei not only because it was a convenient thing for him as a fisherman, but also because of the carbon fiber technology.

After investing in Guangwei, the Hanxi Joint Laboratory started to cooperate with Guangwei and has been developing the technology of T300 carbon cloth. Li Dongling also helped Guangwei to establish a relationship with Nippon Toray through his relationship with Nippon Telephone and Telegraph Company.
