Our Rise Era

Chapter 180 I Lost! But I Won!

Some people call 08 the first year of the rise of Chinese knockoff phones...

One data shows that...

In 2008, global mobile phone shipments reached 11.8 billion units, a year-on-year increase of 3.5%, and 47.5% of mobile phones were produced in China...

In 2008, the total sales volume of Chinese mobile phones reached 1.47 million units...

However, there are nearly 8000 copycat phones, most of which are equipped with the MTK system of the R&D Department.

In the era of "copycat phones", countless people use the cheapest and cheapest copycat phones...

……

Some people also call Zhang Yang in 08 the father of China's copycat phones...

"Leather shoe phone", "big brother phone", "lighter phone", "cigarette box phone", all kinds of dazzling copycat phone creative models, all originated from Zhang Yang's hands...

Some knockoff phones even boast of their own copyrights...

In addition to the "original copycat phones", there are also many mobile phones that imitate and borrow from the "Samsung" and "Novia" brands...

Some are even 9% new!

This shameless and rogue behavior has caused these big brands a lot of headaches, and they have tried to resolve the matter through legal means.

however……

They discovered that Zhang Yang, the old rogue, had hired a professional team of lawyers to circumvent the legal provisions before the copycat phones were produced.

They have been fighting a lawsuit since March 08, which has lasted for more than a year. Major brands have taken turns to join the lawsuit, but the lawsuit has always been stuck in a stalemate!
And among them...

[Samsung] Mobile phones were the most affected.

From the Samsung mobile phone in 05 to the latest Samsung mobile phone S09 in 365...

It's really unbearable!

The impact was also huge.

Starting in May…

[Samsung] The South Korean side also noticed this scene.

They realized that they had to crush China's "copycat phones" before they released their epoch-making new phone, the Galaxy i750!

This time, Samsung mobilized extremely terrifying human, material and financial resources. After two months of data collection and analysis of various bills, in the end...

Catch this old rogue Zhang Yang and even the entire copycat mobile phone industry in China in one fell swoop!
……

..........................................

"Zhang Yang lost?"

"Yes!"

"Lost!"

"Why did they only pay 100 million? This is not right. Zhang Yang's copycat phones were so popular in 08! At that time, you could almost always see a different copycat phone when you walked down the street..."

"Infringement is also a case by case basis!"

“Some may look similar in appearance, but in fact they do not involve infringement due to some parameters…”

"Some similarities are as high as 90%, which is already considered infringement... And this time, Samsung has devoted so many teams to handle this matter, which definitely shows that they have caught Zhang Yang!"

"I'm coming!"

"Mr. Zhang is here!"

"Mr. Zhang, wait, Mr. Zhang..."

"Mr. Zhang, I want to ask you, now that your [copycat] business is all gone, but you still have to pay this money, Mr. Zhang, do you feel that this is inappropriate?"

"Mr. Zhang... please tell us a few words. Do you want to file an appeal?"

"..."

The evening of June 7.

sunset.

In front of Pengcheng Court.

Surrounded by countless reporters.

Countless people are paying attention to the verdict of this infringement case...

Even countless mobile phone manufacturers have come one by one!

Some people are keenly aware that this is likely to affect the entire mobile phone market in China.

After all, Zhang Yang, the father of the knockoff phone in 08, has collapsed, so what about the subsequent Huaxia knockoff phones...

I heard that Samsung has taken very strong measures this time, suing hundreds of copycat mobile phone brands currently being sold in China at one time!
Zhang Yang is one of the representative figures in this "rights protection" case.

This person is well versed in law and has his own dedicated legal team, which is very professional. Many representative cases of infringement were even written by this team...

If, such a legal rogue is brought down...

So……

……

The afterglow of the sunset in the sky enveloped the earth.

Zhang Yang walked out of the court with his legal team.

When he came out, his expression was very serious.

Countless reporters swarmed in, blocking the entire road.

The once unruly Zhang Yang...

At this moment, there is no smile in front of the camera.

Seems a little tired.

When facing the interview with the reporter...

Zhang Yang's expression seemed a little lonely.

"I respect the law, and I also respect the results of the lawsuits filed against me by internationally renowned brands such as [Samsung] and [Nokia]..."

"We tried very hard to protect our rights, but we still failed!"

"I have said that I will respect the law, respect the leaders and the authority's judgment on me, and I will not appeal again..."

“This was a traumatic experience…”

"But, I am Zhang Yang and I will never avoid anything!"

"..."

Countless lights covered Zhang Yang's face.

The microphones were vying for the first place, and it seemed that they were going to fill up all the seats nearby.

Zhang Yang seemed to want to leave in silence, but the increasing number of figures made it difficult for him to move forward. It was as if he was forced...

In the end, Zhang Yang could only take a deep breath, and then came to media such as [Douni Video], [Xun Teng Video], and [Xun Teng News], looking into the distance.

distance……

Samsung's legal team and the head of the China Department, Li Zhengwen, also walked over here surrounded by reporters.

The moment Zhang Yang saw Li Zhengwen...

He winked at his legal team, and then, in full view of everyone, excitedly walked towards that direction.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Li, wait, wait!"

"Mr. Li, I accept the result, but please wait!"

"..."

Li Zhengwen was stunned for a moment, then frowned and looked at Zhang Yang calling him in the distance.

do not know why……

He always had a very uncomfortable feeling.

This legal decision made him feel uncomfortable and aggrieved.

Obviously won!

But for some reason, compared with the legal costs incurred, it seems like a loss.

Over the past year, Zhang Yang's legal team has been so damn difficult to deal with. They were clearly copying, but... they were only doing it within the scope of reference.

Moreover, the other party is particularly arrogant, with an arrogant look on his face, saying that he will sue you if you want to...

Oh shit!

He is the person in charge of Samsung in China, but facing these thugs, he has absolutely no way to do anything!

In the past year, the manpower and material resources consumed have far exceeded one million...

"Mr. Li, Mr. Li..."

"Wait, the court has ordered me to pay compensation and apologize within seven days. I don't think there's any need to wait seven days, and there's no need to go through the court as a middleman. Let's just settle it now!"

"Well, I will compensate you now!"

"And it's in cash. One million in cash!"

"..."

Under countless eyes.

In full view of the public...

Li Wenzheng watched Zhang Yang and his team rush over, then took out a small box...

This is a 20-inch suitcase.

Then...

To everyone's shock, Zhang Yang actually opened the suitcase!

The golden RMB was revealed!

The scene was boiling, and even bursts of exclamations were heard.
Li Wenzheng was immediately speechless: "Boss Zhang, what are you doing..."

"This is one million RMB, not a cent more, not a cent less!"

Zhang Yang seemed to be talking to himself, but he turned his face to the side, and his gaze and expression seemed to be captured by all kinds of cameras.

then……

What a bitch!

He was still shaking the box containing 100 million RMB!
A common 20-inch suitcase can hold 300 million RMB in cash, and 100 million RMB is more than enough, but...

In order to make the incident more shocking, Zhang Yang actually placed a pile of old newspapers underneath!

This kind of operation even shocked Li Wen Zheng!
"Can you give me Mr. Zhang? Let's take inventory!"

"Sure, but it's better to count them on the spot!"

"..."

When Li Wenzhen saw Zhang Yang waving the box in front of all the cameras but never giving it to himself, he suddenly realized that this guy was using this to advertise!
What on earth is he going to do?

Zhang Yang, the bastard, acted like a clown in front of the media. After swaying enough, he pushed up his glasses and finally handed the box to himself...

"Everyone, bear witness. I paid for this one million. Please give me a receipt. In addition, please issue me an invoice. Mr. Li, there are so many people here. Please count the money..."

"..."

Li Wenzhen took a deep breath.

I don’t know why, but I clenched my fists so tightly that I even wanted to slap Zhang Yang in the face.

But in the end: "Okay, Mr. Zhang!"

Under the watchful eyes of the public, the staff began to count the one million.

About ten minutes later...

As the staff nodded and confirmed that it was not a fake, he nodded.

"Mr. Li, I also want to make a public apology, is that what you mean?"

"Mr. Zhang, you don't need to apologize publicly..."

These words came almost from the corner of Li Wenzheng's mouth, and his teeth were trembling!
"No, the court has sentenced me to pay compensation, apologize, and a letter of guarantee not to infringe on my rights in the future. I will not miss any of it! I am ready for everything..."

"Then you apologize!"

"Okay! Move the camera closer... What are you doing? Move closer, right, shoot at me, shoot at me! Shoot this way, right, I told you to shoot this way, what I mean is, don't just shoot me, shoot Mr. Li too... Mr. Li is the head of Samsung, if we're not in the camera together, how can I show my sincerity?"

"..."

Li Wenzhen's face looked a little ugly.

Under so many lenses.

He felt like a monkey.

then……

He saw Zhang Yang suddenly hold his hand!
"Mr. Li!"

"..."

"Mr. Li, regarding my previous infringement on your [Samsung], I want to say sorry to you! From now on, we [Xiaomi Technology], no, we [Xiaomi Technology] have not infringed on any rights either. Oh, yes, I, on behalf of our [Four-Star] and [Five-Star] brand mobile phones equipped with our [MTK] system, I want to say sorry to you..."

"???"
