Reborn since 1993

Chapter 474: Going with the flow
The reputation of Longgang Invincible and Nanshan Pizza Hut has not yet been established, but after this lawsuit, the reputation of Dongling Hi-Tech’s legal department is definitely well-known throughout the country, and its record is verifiable!
When Dongling Hi-Tech just started out, it was involved in a patent lawsuit with Microsoft, and later fought with Siemens, Toshiba and others. Now it has won the victory over Lianxiang. The reputation of Dongling Hi-Tech's legal department has definitely been established.

"Thank you for the hard work on this lawsuit, especially the Ministry of Justice!"

After listening to Gao Zhiyuan's words, Li Dongling said to the senior executives of Dongling Hi-Tech that after this lawsuit, they not only won against Lian Xiang, but also won the right to speak for Dongling Hi-Tech in the domestic technology industry.

From now on, it is estimated that no technology company will dare to ignore what Dongling Hi-Tech says. After all, Dongling Hi-Tech really is the one who dares to take two machetes and chop all the way from Nantianmen to Penglai East Road.

Just like the saying that goes like this among the Russians: A thousand words of complaining to Europe and America are not as effective as a white swan flapping its wings once.

When Dongling Hi-Tech really has the ability to kill those counterfeit products, they will not dare to act as recklessly as they did in the VCD industry, and will abide by the rules and order set by Dongling Hi-Tech.

If you want the other party to abide by the rules you set, you must not only convince them with reason, but also learn some martial arts so that the other party will not take your words lightly.

"This lawsuit is very important to Dongling Hi-Tech, but it doesn't mean that all problems can be solved once and for all!"

Li Dongling said to Gao Zhiyuan, Ren Yuefeng, Hu Zixian, Zhang Ao and other senior executives, "In the future, Dongling Hi-Tech will have countless lawsuits to fight, not only domestically, but also with overseas companies!"

Li Dongling was reminding all the senior executives of Dongling Hi-Tech that there would be tough battles to fight in the future. Those overseas giants were much more difficult to deal with than even the American congressmen who might take sides.

"What's the current situation of the domestic USB flash drive industry? Several well-known companies involved in USB flash drives have withdrawn from the market, but there are still many small USB flash drive manufacturers!" said Zhang Ao.

Today, it seems that all counterfeit goods have been wiped out in the entire domestic USB flash drive industry, but this situation will not last long.

Why do counterfeit USB flash drives exist? Ultimately, it’s a price issue!
Shenzhou USB flash drives focus on mid-to-high-end products with the highest profits, but this does not mean that the mass-level USB flash drive market no longer exists.

If Shenzhou Storage is not in China now and does not establish a set of rules for the USB flash drive industry and does not do the finishing work well, believe it or not, it will not be long before all kinds of counterfeit USB flash drives will start to run rampant again. As long as the price is cheap enough, people will buy it regardless of the quality!
At this time, Gao Peng, who was in charge of the logistics department of Dongling Hi-Tech and the parts industry chain of Dongling Hi-Tech, said, "The industrial and commercial departments in the provincial capital have also sent a message to the Pingyang Municipal Government, hoping that Shenzhou Storage can let the Patriot USB drive go!"

"Why would the provincial capital interfere in this matter?" Ren Yuefeng said with a frown.

Gao Peng has always been well-informed and had already found out the news clearly, "The founder of Huaqi Digital, the parent company of the Patriot brand, is from the provincial capital of Hanxi.

This time he came back from Zhongguancun to build relationships, probably because he reached an agreement with the provincial capital. After Huaqi, Patriot USB flash drives and other production lines will be established in the provincial capital of Hanxi. The provincial capital probably wants to give it a try to see if they can support a local brand in Hanxi.

However, the provincial capital has no intention of forcing them to do so. They are just trying to get Shenzhou Storage to consider giving Huaqi a chance under appropriate conditions!"

After hearing this, Ren Yuefeng and other senior executives of Dongling Hi-Tech understood what it meant. Feng Jun, the founder of Huaqi, was afraid that if he approached Dongling Hi-Tech directly, he would be turned away, so he approached the provincial capital of Hanxi to act as a middleman.

Patriot is now a brand with some fame. After Feng Jun promised to place the production base of Patriot USB flash drives in the provincial capital, the provincial capital of Hanxi also wanted to help Huaqi.

If Huaqi can be saved, it will be able to provide jobs, tax revenue, etc. to the provincial capital in the future.

Of course, the provincial capital would not really ignore the feelings of Dongling Hi-Tech for the sake of Huaqi. Which side is more important? The Hanxi provincial capital can clearly distinguish between the two. Let alone one Huaqi, even if there are a hundred of them, the provincial capital will definitely stand on the side of Dongling Hi-Tech.

So the message conveyed is very interesting. What does it mean to help Huaqi under appropriate conditions? Isn't that telling Dongling Hi-Tech that as long as Huaqi is not driven away, Dongling Hi-Tech can propose any conditions to Huaqi, and the provincial capital will never interfere? Anyway, the provincial capital just said that they would help Huaqi try, but did not promise to save it!
However, although this is what the provincial capital means, Dongling Hi-Tech cannot really say that it will not give the provincial capital any face at all.

Li Dongling and Ren Yuefeng looked at each other and laughed, "Since the provincial capital has come forward, Dongling Hi-Tech will at least give them some face!"

"Shenzhou Storage mainly sells the most profitable mid-to-high-end USB flash drives. It's not a bad idea to give the mass-market USB flash drive market to Huaqi and Aigo, but..."

Before Li Dongling finished speaking, Hu Zixian said directly, "Huaqi must also show enough sincerity!"

Upon hearing this, a burst of laughter broke out in the conference room. Ren Yuefeng, Gao Peng, Gao Zhiyuan and others all knew what Hu Zixian meant.

In the future, Shenzhou USB flash drives will focus on the mid-to-high-end memory market, while Huaqi's Patriot will specialize in the mass USB flash drive and other memory markets. Shenzhou storage can provide Huaqi with this business. However, Huaqi must also show enough "sincerity", for example, hand over enough equity to Dongling Hi-Tech, so that Dongling Hi-Tech can ensure that it will not raise an ungrateful person!

"This way, we can also avoid accusations that Shenzhou USB flash drives are involved in a monopoly!" Gao Zhiyuan added.

No matter whether it is acting or a double act, at least on the market, Shenzhou USB flash drive is not the only brand for users to choose from. No matter which one you choose, you have to pay Dongling Hi-Tech.

"Having a Patriot brand USB flash drive can also prevent the proliferation of counterfeit goods!"

Li Dongling added that instead of allowing counterfeit USB flash drives to proliferate, it would be better to launch the Patriot USB flash drive and let it compete with those counterfeit products.

Just like in the previous life, after Lei Jun launched the Xiaomi smartphone for 1999, not only were competitors in the industry stunned, but even copycat smartphones were also beaten to a pulp.

The water of counterfeit goods is very deep. Don’t think that counterfeit phones are cheap. Some counterfeit phones are inferior and sold as good ones. The advertisements are exaggerated, but in fact the performance is not up to the standard at all.

There are even some products that are so fake that they are indistinguishable from the real ones, some of which are direct knockoffs with fake labels, making it hard to guard against them. However, the price of 1999 for Lei Jun’s product has made it impossible for knockoffs to continue to make money!
"Manager Gao, the legal department will be very busy this year. After resolving the USB flash drive patent lawsuit, you have to help Torch Group deal with the lawsuit in Europe." Li Dongling said to Gao Zhiyuan.

This year, Dongling Hi-Tech has to fight a lot of lawsuits. Torch Group is currently filing an anti-dumping lawsuit against the European Lighter Association in old Europe.

Dongling Hi-Tech is the largest shareholder of Torch Group, so it is natural for us to give our full support to Torch Group!
Gao Zhiyuan nodded. As the legal manager, he was not only in charge of the legal affairs of Dongling Hi-Tech's headquarters, but also the legal departments of Feiyan, Oriental Optoelectronics, Dongxin Semiconductor, Torch Group, Mass Media and other companies, which were all under the management of the headquarters.

After all, it is impossible for all the companies under Dongling Hi-Tech to spend sky-high prices and hire a team of lawyers to wait on them every day. If there are important matters, they basically ask the legal department of the headquarters for assistance.

"dong dong dong"

Li Dongling tapped lightly on the table a few times. Today's meeting was not just about the lawsuit.

"Next week, I will go to America with Feiyan Technology Manager Yao to contact Wall Street institutions to seek financing, as well as listing and some other matters!
At Dongling Hi-Tech headquarters, we are still proceeding according to the usual practice. All departments must continue to complete the projects on hand, especially the technical department, which must not slack off in the research and development of new projects!"

When Li Dongling spoke, his eyes looked at Ren Yuefeng.

Now, a tacit understanding has been formed within Dongling Hi-Tech. Generally speaking, one of Li Dongling and Ren Yuefeng will be in charge of the headquarters, and the two will not leave the headquarters at the same time.

As for Hu Zixian, Chen Tao, Zhang Ao, Gao Peng and others, they assist the people in the headquarters to handle the affairs of Dongling Hi-Tech.

Upon hearing that Li Dongling was going to embark on a second trip to America, all the senior executives of Dongling Hi-Tech, including Ren Yuefeng, looked somewhat excited.

If Li Dongling's trip goes smoothly and Feiyan Technology is successfully listed, not only will Feiyan become the first company in China to be listed on NASDAQ, but the net worth of those who obtain shares in Feiyan Technology will also skyrocket and they will become millionaires or even billionaires!

……

In the provincial capital of Hanxi, Feng Jun's car drove out of the gate of a city hall in the provincial capital. The news coming from Pingyang gave Feng Jun some hope.

This time, Feng Jun had a very tight schedule. Apart from a trip home, he basically met with people from various units and departments in the provincial capital. Now, there were finally some signs of resolving Huaqi's troubles.

The car was driving on the street of Xiyuan in the provincial capital. Feng Jun, who had stayed in Yanjing for several years, felt that although the provincial capital had not changed as drastically as Yanjing, it had also undergone considerable changes since he left.

Especially inadvertently, one can see the shadow of Dongling Hi-Tech in this city, the Hanxi Joint Laboratory opposite Hanxi Jiaotong University, and Dongxin Semiconductor that has sprung up from a wasteland, and Oriental Optoelectronics that has already acquired a large tract of land and is constantly expanding, all of which made Feng Jun feel quite shocked.

Feng Jun, who had worked in the reselling of CDs and keyboards, knew how difficult it was to establish Huaqi. Looking at the endless semiconductor industrial parks and screen panel industrial parks that were emerging around Dongxin Semiconductor and Oriental Optoelectronics, he could feel the current influence of Dongling Hi-Tech!
