Reborn since 1993

Chapter 468: Attack with troops
Listening to Li Dongling's words, Meng Liang felt that his three views were challenged. Since the intensive exchanges with overseas countries more than ten years ago, countless people in China have had unrealistic fantasies about overseas countries.

In other words, influenced by media magazines such as Readers, Yilin, and Youth Digest, as well as culture such as Hollywood movies, people who have never been abroad have a perception of overseas countries as a paradise on earth that they have imagined in their minds.

In that kind of imagination, everyone overseas abides by contracts and is like a gentleman. There is gold everywhere. You can buy a sports car, a big villa, and marry a Hollywood actress by washing dishes for three months.

Refer to how the first Chinese blowhard in history praised China to his European ancestors in "The Travels of Marco Polo". Now some domestic media are praising America, Europe, Japan and other places in the same way. Not to mention that the moon is rounder than that in China, everyone over there is praised as a saint.

This kind of influence is not only felt among ordinary people. Even people like Meng Liang, who are highly educated and have a certain social status, have actually been affected. Although they do not think America is as perfect as they imagined, they still subconsciously believe that America abides by contracts and is a beacon that "helps" other countries to progress.

But Li Dongling pointed out a path to Meng Liang that he had never thought of before, or that many people were unwilling to think about. What if America turned against it one day?

If the two sides really fall out, America will trample on the theory of globalization and be unwilling to supply domestic computer systems, chips, graphics cards, network cards, and memory sticks, and will try its best to suppress domestic products. How will domestic companies that are clinging to overseas countries respond at that time?
"It shouldn't be that serious, Mr. Li. You're worrying too much!"

Meng Liang moved his throat and said this. Although he said this, he couldn't help but think in his heart, what Li Dongling just said was whether he was willing to be someone else's grandson for the rest of his life.

According to the current global division of labor, the domestic position is OEM, which is OEM for companies in America, old Europe, Japan and other regions, and is at the bottom of the industrial chain.

After working hard as OEM companies, the brand companies will ship the goods to America and then sell them back home at high prices. This is the scenario that people who design for globalization dream of.

And if one day, domestic companies really want to enter the mid-to-high-end market, will companies upstream of the industrial chain allow it? What will happen between those brand companies and domestic companies at that time?

"This is just one family's opinion. No one wants this to happen!"

Li Dongling said, then looked at Meng Liang and said casually, "This world still follows the ancient law of the jungle. Prey and hunter are not fixed, but Dongling Hi-Tech does not want to be the prey and be put on the table to become that dish!"

“In this lawsuit with Lian Xiang, Dongling Hi-Tech’s request and purpose are very simple, that is, to protect the patents belonging to Shenzhou USB flash drives and make the copycat and patent infringing companies pay the price they deserve!

This is not only for Shenzhou USB flash drives, but also for all the R&D personnel who have spent countless days and nights developing USB flash drives, and more importantly, for latecomer companies like Shenzhou Storage to have a way to survive! "

Meng Liang felt helpless as he listened to Li Dongling's description of Shenzhou Storage as a pitiful, weak, and helpless "small" company struggling to survive.

If Shenzhou Storage is considered pitiful, weak and helpless, then what about Lianxiang, which has been made miserable and even shaky by Shenzhou Storage?
Which "small" company, as soon as it debuted, was able to unite several international technology giants to form a rogue alliance like the USB International Technology Alliance, which suppressed Kingston, Samsung, SanDisk and other old storage business companies. They complained bitterly, cried in the media, and protested to the domestic industrial and commercial authorities that a certain company was acting like an international rogue...

But Meng Liang also had to admit that this lawsuit was indeed the first domestic patent case, and the outcome of this patent lawsuit would have an impact on future patent lawsuits in the country.

At least if Shenzhou Memory wins, then from a legal and righteous perspective, the company that developed the patent can sue the company that infringed the patent and demand an apology, compensation, etc.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to win the lawsuit, or at least use drastic measures like Shenzhou Storage, to isolate Lianxiang from the inside and outside, take action at home and abroad at the same time, cut off the supply of parts, stop the authorization of patents, and make the stock price plummet to waste paper, making it pay a huge price, before you have a chance to make the other party admit defeat.

In the lawsuit between Shenzhou Storage and Lianxiang, any discerning person can see that it is only a matter of time before Lianxiang admits defeat!
Toshiba, Philips, and IBM do not authorize patents and do not supply key components such as memory sticks. Once the inventory is used up, Lianxiang's production capacity will also be affected.

What little market share it had overseas has basically been lost. It will be many times more difficult to expand overseas in the future, and it is also facing huge claims in Hong Kong and other places.

More importantly, there are the stock prices and brands. The stock price of Gangcheng Lianxiang Company has collapsed. If it continues to fall, it is estimated that Lianxiang Gangcheng Company will become the first red chip stock to be liquidated and delisted...

As for the brand, even though Boss Liu keeps asking people to do public relations, the outside world's perception of it continues to decline. After all, the past revealed by Shenzhou Storage is too scary.

The domestically produced computers that are praised to the sky are actually just made in China in terms of the shell. So what’s the difference between that and buying foreign products?
There are also rumors about the dispute with Ni Liu, the inside story of the programmable switching system project, etc., which make Lian Xiang's situation worse. If he continues to make trouble, the brand will probably be completely ruined.

"Boss Li, thank you very much for your interview. I will rush back to Yanjing today and send the interview film back to the station. I will also pass on your request for the interview film to the station leaders!"

Meng Liang knew clearly that Li Dongling did not want the interview footage of him today to be edited arbitrarily or to have his words and stance changed. Since it was to be broadcast on TV, then the entire interview should be released!

"Mr. Li, will the...scenario you described really happen?" When walking out of the meeting room, Meng Liang couldn't help but ask Li Dongling.

Li Dongling laughed, "As the Art of War says, the best strategy is to attack the enemy's plans, the next best is to destroy his alliances, and you can defeat the enemy without fighting!" Hearing what Li Dongling said, Meng Liang was slightly relieved. He felt that Li Dongling seemed to be exaggerating a bit and was using his strength to suppress Lian Xiang.

"But who can say for sure about some things? If they don't happen now, who can guarantee that they won't happen in the future?"

Just when Meng Liang was relieved, he heard Li Dongling say, "Being backward doesn't necessarily mean you'll be beaten. In the jungle world, ants, cockroaches, rats and the like can also survive, or live quite well.

But they can survive because fierce beasts such as tigers, lions, and cheetahs don't care about them, and sometimes even share some of their leftover prey with ants, cockroaches, and mice.

But, does anyone want to be an ant that gets stepped on to death and no one cares?
When an elephant stands up, won't it be discovered if it hides behind a tree? When it is weak, will wolves, tigers and leopards let it go? "

Meng Liang stood there in a daze until Li Dongling left. Then he came to his senses. With just this little effort, a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

As a media person, he has been greatly influenced by news from America, old Europe and other places, as well as Hollywood culture over the past decade.

Meng Liang couldn't imagine what the scene would be like if everything Li Dongling said really happened one day. He was afraid that the filter he had for overseas countries over the past decade would be shattered.

……

Just as Meng Liang and the interview team left the Dongling Hi-Tech headquarters and headed back to Yanjing, another group of people arrived at the Dongling Hi-Tech headquarters.

"Director Gao, this time, Pingyang Industry and Commerce has to contribute!"

When several cars drove into the Dongling Hi-Tech headquarters, a man in a Zhongshan suit in the car spoke to Gao Tianqing, who was sitting next to him and was in charge of the current Pingyang Industrial and Commercial Department.

If you look closely, you will find that Gao Tianqing's face is vaguely similar to Gao Peng, the manager of Dongling Hi-Tech's logistics department.

In fact, Gao Tianqing is indeed a brother of the Gao family. The Gao family's status in Pingyang has made great progress in recent years, and it is not an exaggeration.

Among the three brothers of the Gao family, the eldest is Gao Tianqing. He used to work in the Pingyang Industry and Commerce Department as a subordinate of Yao Zhengru. After Yao Zhengru took the helm of Pingyang, he promoted a group of people. Gao Tianqing, who acted steadily, became the person in charge of Pingyang Industry and Commerce.

Of course, there are also some rumors in Pingyang, saying that Gao Tianqing was able to get this position because of the power of his younger brothers, one of his younger brothers is the manager of the logistics department of Dongling Hi-Tech, and the other is the manager of the legal department of Dongling Hi-Tech. Is there any need to explain the relationship between the Gao family and Dongling Hi-Tech?

As Pingyang's largest taxpayer and the head of Pingyang Industry and Commerce, if he doesn't pick someone who has a close relationship with Dongling Hi-Tech, why would he pick someone who has a bad relationship with Dongling Hi-Tech?

But considering Yao Zhengru's personality and style of doing things, even if he did consider Dongling Hi-Tech, if Gao Tianqing was really a fool, he would never have chosen him.

In fact, Gao Tianqing is a steady person. He has completed all the tasks assigned by Yao Zhengru and the municipal government excellently and has never failed to do so. This also shows how capable Gao Tianqing is.

However, facing the director from the Yanjing Industry and Commerce Administration at this moment, Gao Tianqing was not overly enthusiastic.

"Mr. Wang, there is something I want to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not!" Gao Tianqing said to Wang Yongyu.

"Just say it!" Wang Yongyu said with a raised eyebrow.

Gao Tianqing said, "I know a little bit about the character of the founder of Dongling Hi-Tech. As far as I know, Li Dongling is not a person who doesn't know when to advance or retreat, but sometimes, he won't give in!

The fault in this lawsuit against Shenzhou Storage is not with Shenzhou Storage and Dongling Hi-Tech, so why should the rightful party give in? ! "

Wang Yongyu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head silently. From Gao Tianqing's words, he could tell the attitudes of Pingyang and the Hanxi Provincial Government. They obviously did not want to take sides, and not protecting their own people was already quite restrained.

"Sometimes, we have no choice!" Wang Yongyu was silent for a moment, then shook his head helplessly.
