Back to 1990

"You are so funny!" The little brother looked at Lu Feng and smiled, "Are you here to play in South Africa?"

"On business trip, how about you?" Lu Feng asked casually.

"I'm going home, welcome to the land of Africa!" The little brother said politely.

The plane had stopped, and the stewardess led the first-class passengers to go first. Lu Feng stood up and walked outside, looking at the little black brother next to him. He didn't look like an ordinary person in his clothes.

"What does your family do?" Lu Feng asked.

The younger brother glanced at Lu Feng in surprise. It would be presumptuous to ask about his professional income in foreign trade. He looked at Lu Feng and replied, "Mining!"

"Let me just say, your temperament is'mineral gas in the mine'!" Lu Feng joked.

"Hahahaha!" The little brother couldn't help laughing. It was the first time he heard this kind of word. The two didn't communicate much along the way. He didn't expect to find such an interesting person when he got off the plane.

"I started a company. It was the first time I came to South Africa and I didn't know anyone. Would you like to leave a business card?" Lu Feng took out a business card of his own from his pocket and handed it over.

"Just call me, this is the phone number." The little brother took a business card and glanced at it, and said in surprise: "I am from China?"

"right!"

"Cool!" He gestured with both hands: "Bruce Lee, Kung Fu!"

"Hahahahaha!"

Lu Feng walked out of the plane with a smile. The young man was thirty-one years old this year, his name was Ronald, and he felt that he was not the son of an ordinary mine boss from the conversation.

Lu Feng just settled in South Africa, and he is not familiar with it. There are many friends and many roads, maybe he will use it.

Outside the airport, the people from the Regal Security Company arrived yesterday, and the team from the overseas business department has also arrived. The hotel has been arranged to pick up and drop off the vehicle.

After bidding farewell to Ronald, Lu Feng walked out of the airport and met the captain again and said, "Meet again!"

"Hello, President Lu!" The captain said with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Lu, I'm the vice president of the overseas business department, and my name is Korea Ping!" a man in his forties introduced to Lu Feng.

He is about 1.7 meters tall, has a southern accent, is slightly bald, and wears a pair of rimless glasses. He looks full of the greasy feeling of a middle-aged man in the workplace.

"You arrived yesterday, didn't you?" Lu Feng asked.

"Yes, we have done a lot of work in the early stage. You get in the car first, and we will talk on the road." Korea Ping made a request.

Cape Town, the second largest city in South Africa, is also an important international city. It is basically not linked to barrenness. There are flat asphalt roads everywhere and tall buildings when you look up. South Africa is an important global diamond and mining industry. Many kinds of rare metals are excavated here.

South Africa’s desolation started in the late 1990s, but even after more than two decades, South Africa is still the economic engine of Africa.

South Korea Ping briefly talked about the ins and outs of this incident along the way. The matter is easy to investigate. People just open it to you. It will be clear if you find some international people to inquire.

"There are many people behind this incident. Among them, there is pressure from the United States. It is no longer a purely commercial act, but involves a national game. What we know now is that the three companies of Motorola, Sony, and Panasonic are competing with the United States. Several companies like Intel and AMD have stood together. The two parties are in a competitive relationship, but they have chosen to suppress us in a unified manner."

South Korea sighed and said helplessly: "They really value us. According to some gossip, these companies have a close relationship with Wall Street. I heard that it was through Wall Street reporting that pushed some U.S. departments to put pressure on the outside world. Some people say Some time ago, they looked for our industry on a global scale like crazy dogs, and finally selected Africa."

"Last night we conducted some communication through the three local companies that we cooperated with. The result now is that the business cannot be done. The most important thing now is how to preserve the latest batch of goods and how to prevent violations. To understand the matter of patent property rights, my suggestion is to sue and defend rights locally."

Briefly on the situation, Lu Feng's complexion was very ugly. This matter was not as easy to deal with as before. It was already firm, and the business must have been sloppy.

"Damn it!"

Lu Feng cursed angrily.

The other people in the commercial vehicle said nothing, and the atmosphere was very depressing. Lu Feng knew in his heart that all the easy roads ahead had been completed, and the most difficult section had just begun. This section of road is definitely not the power of a rebirth. Can contend.

When he arrived at the hotel, Lu Feng stayed first, and then he was going to meet with the head of South Africa's external department. The relevant situation still depends on others.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, a phone call came to the hotel where Lu Feng was located. A few minutes later, Korea Ping knocked on Lu Feng's door and walked in and said, "The embassy wants to talk to you."

"Turn around! What's the other party's last name?"

"The last name is Xu!"

The call was transferred, and Lu Feng answered the phone and said, "Ambassador Xu, hello, this is Lu Feng of Jiafeng Electronics Group."

"Hello, Mr. Lu. First of all, you are welcome to South Africa. I feel sorry for you when such an incident happened recently, but it has already happened and you can only solve it. Have you already stayed in a hotel?" The voice of the head is quite kind.

"Yes, you have worked hard, and you have to worry about my business."

"As the local ambassador, I am here to serve you. The current situation may be a bit complicated and it is not convenient to say on the phone. Come here."

"Okay, I'll pass right away now."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Feng hurriedly put on his coat and said to Ping Ping of South Korea: "Go to the embassy."

Going downstairs and getting on the car, I went straight to the local China Embassy, ​​and walked in under the leadership of the guard. There was already a man in his fifties waiting in the reception room.

"Hello, hello, why are you still waiting here?" Lu Feng trot over in a hurry, clutching each other's hands with both hands and said, "I make you worry about it."

"Yes, you should sit down first, and then join me to meet with the head of the local external department." Ambassador Xu sat down and said, "This matter is purely suppressed. We have already made representations with the U.S. side, but what? , You also know that they are not overbearing for a day or two. Things like this will basically not have any results."

"I know that the robbers weren't made in a day, but the African business is really important to us. Can we continue to supply them in another way, or make some concessions." Lu Feng's face was covered with dark clouds and licked. Pursing his lips, he said, "Say it, you have been robbed, what should I do, spend money to eliminate disasters!"

"Nor say that, we are not at the mercy of others." Ambassador Xu glanced at the time and said: "Let's go, what's the problem when we go, just ask. After all, this matter is also a victim in the local area. All three companies need to find their way again."

There was a phone call in Flender's office, and seven or eight people stood beside them, responding to different situations on the phone.

"We only have a few requirements for Jiafeng Electronics, as long as one of them can be achieved. The first option is to give up the high investment in research and development. They absolutely have to take subsidies from China Xia to engage in unfair competition. The second option , Accepting Wall Street’s holdings, there will be Wall Street companies holding at least 51%. The third option is to relocate the headquarters to the United States and hand over all production materials for review. We must ensure that they do not have Plagiarism and infringement of intellectual property rights."

The voice on the other end of the phone was full of arrogance. It seemed that this tiny company could only choose one of these three conditions.

"I will tell these three choices, but this must not hinder the policy operations of our three companies. You have no right to govern our domestic companies. We will judge on our own whether they are infringing." Flander said solemnly to the phone: "We It has its own laws and regulations."

"Dear Mr. Flanders, we fully respect you, but patent rights are one of the global assistance content. We have found evidence of their infringement ~www.readwn.com~ so we need your cooperation."

"What about the evidence?"

"Don't worry, we will provide it."

"When?"

"After checking!"

None of the other think tanks and assistants in the office made a sound. At this moment, they all felt useless and completely useless! ! ! !

"Then this call will end here!" After Flander said a few politely, the phone was hung up.

Half an hour later, Lu Feng and Ambassador Xu were already waiting in the meeting room. Due to their identity, Han Ping and his party did not come in.

A few minutes later, Flanders walked over, accompanied by a group of people. First, he shook hands with Ambassador Xu, and then Ambassador Xu introduced Lu Feng.

"Welcome Mr. Lu to South Africa!" Flanders shook Lu Feng's hand.

"Thank you for your welcome."

After the two parties took a group photo, they went to the meeting room and sat down. Flander said; "I just finished the conversation with the American side. Three choices for the group."

After Flander finished talking about the three choices, not only Lu Feng, but also Ambassador Xu's face was dark. There was no such bullying. Lu Feng sat there with an ugly look, this time it was really desperate.

"The harm between the two powers is less. I think it may be an option to hand over the production materials and relocate the headquarters." Flender suggested; "Otherwise, the business activities here may not be able to continue."

"Thank you for your dealings with this. These three choices are fatal to us, no matter which one they are." Lu Feng looked at Ambassador Xu and said, "I will go back and think about it. This kind of thing is not now. It can be decided."

"I still hope that as soon as possible, we are also under pressure!" Flander urged.
