After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it
Chapter 277 Imitators in the Dark
The first rays of sunlight in the morning shone into the office, but Yan Jin was not happy. Her slender fingers tightly grasped a market research report, and her eyebrows were furrowed. The report clearly showed the latest product released by a competitor company - an "original" product that was 90% similar to their company's newly launched product.
"This is too much!" Xiang Yu slammed the report on the table, his face terribly gloomy. He knew that business competition was cruel, but this blatant plagiarism was undoubtedly an insult and provocation to their entire team.
"I've asked Investigator Zhou to investigate, and I believe there will be results soon." Yan Jin tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart and said calmly.
In less than half a day, Investigator Zhou rushed over and reported with a serious face: "Mr. Xiang, Mr. Yan, the situation is not optimistic. We have initially obtained some evidence. The core technology and design concept of this product are almost identical to ours. But..."
"But what?" Xiang Yu keenly caught the hesitation in his tone.
"However, the other company claims that they have all the original design drafts and technical patents, and..." Investigator Zhou paused, as if weighing his words, "Moreover, they also hinted to us that if we want to pursue this matter, they will take legal action to sue us for malicious defamation."
After hearing this, Xiang Yu and Yan Jin both understood that this was a carefully planned business trap, and the other party was well prepared. Not only did they plagiarize the product, they also tried to turn the tables and put themselves in a passive position.
"It seems that our competitor is fearless." Xiang Yu sneered, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He wanted to see who gave them such boldness.
"Notify them that I will go and meet this 'Mr. Li' in person." Xiang Yu picked up his coat and strode out of the office. Yan Jin followed closely behind him, with a determined light in her eyes.
A few hours later, Xiang Yu and Yan Jin arrived at the company of the person in charge of Li's competitor. The other party was obviously well prepared, and the office was filled with a tense atmosphere.
"Mr. Xiang, I've heard of you for a long time." The person in charge of Li's competitor came forward with a fake smile and extended his hand, but his eyes were full of provocation, "I wonder what brings you here today? What can I do for you?"
Xiang Yu ignored his hypocritical courtesy, threw the file bag in front of him, and said in a cold tone: "Mr. Li, I think you should know why we are here today."
The person in charge of Li's competitor pretended to be surprised when he picked up the document and flipped through it casually, with a playful smile on his face all the time.
"The evidence is conclusive. What else do you have to say, Mr. Li?" Yan Jin said in a sharp tone, going straight to the point.
"Evidence?" The person in charge of Li's competitor threw the documents back on the table casually, raised his head and laughed, "I advise you to save your energy, I..."
"Me what?" Yan Jin stared at the person in charge of Li's competitor, her sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through all his disguises, "Boss Li, you don't mean to say that all this is a coincidence, right?"
The head of Li's competitor stopped smiling, leaned back in his chair, and looked fearless. "Boss Yan, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. You said I plagiarized, where's the evidence?" He spread his hands, his tone full of sarcasm, "Business competition is about strength, not empty accusations."
"Strength?" Xiang Yu snorted coldly and slapped a document on the table. "This is the timeline and technical information of our product development. Do you dare to take out yours? Let us see who is lying!"
The head of Li's competitor's face changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. "Mr. Xiang, I don't understand what you are saying. How can you show a commercial secret to anyone?"
"In that case, let's see the outcome in court!" A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Xiang Yu's eyes. He knew that it was pointless to say any more to such a shameless person.
Leaving the company headed by Li's competitor, Yan Jin and Xiang Yu were both in a very heavy mood. They knew that this lawsuit was not easy to win. The other party came prepared, and there seemed to be a bigger force behind it controlling everything.
"I have contacted the best legal team, and they will do their best." Xiang Yu held Yan Jin's hand and gave her strength. "Don't worry, we will definitely win."
Yan Jin nodded, but the uneasiness in her heart lingered. After returning to the company, she immediately gathered the team and fully cooperated with the lawyer to collect evidence. However, the development of the matter was far more complicated than they imagined. Some key original design drafts and technical documents disappeared. And those core personnel who had participated in the project development also resigned for various reasons and disappeared without a trace.
"Someone is secretly obstructing us!" Investigator Zhou placed an investigation report in front of Yan Jin, and said in a serious tone, "I found out that those employees who resigned all received high-paying offers from the same headhunting company. And the person behind this headhunting company..."
"Who is it?" Yan Jin already had a guess in her mind, but she still wanted to hear a definite answer.
"Yes..." Investigator Zhou took a deep breath and slowly uttered a name. This name was enough to shock the entire business community.
At the same time, a piece of news began to spread quietly on the Internet, pointing directly at Yan Jin and Xiang Yu's company, with a shocking title - "The former business myth is now mired in a plagiarism scandal."
"It seems that the good show has just begun..." Xiang Yu looked at the news on the mobile phone screen, a cold arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.
"They are trying to push us into a dead end!" In the conference room, the marketing manager slammed the table, his face full of indignation.
"Keep calm." Yan Jin's face was calm and his tone was firm. "It's especially at times like this that we must not lose our composure."
Overwhelming negative news swept in, pushing Yan Jin and Xiang Yu's company to the forefront of public opinion. The competitors' methods were extremely despicable. They fabricated facts, spread rumors, and portrayed Yan Jin's company as an unscrupulous enterprise that plagiarized others' achievements by any means.
"The current situation is not favorable to us," the PR director said solemnly. "The public's emotions have been incited. We need to come up with strong evidence to prove our innocence as soon as possible."
"We will find the evidence as soon as possible," Xiang Yu looked around at everyone with sharp eyes, "but now, we must stabilize the morale of the troops." He turned to look at the technical director, "The development progress of the new product cannot be affected. This is the key to our counterattack."
"Understood!" The technical director nodded solemnly.
Xiang Yu and Yan Jin knew very well that the public opinion war was only the first wave of attack by their competitors, and their real goal was to completely destroy Yan Jin's company.
"Is there any news from Investigator Zhou?" Yan Jin asked the assistant who had remained silent.
The assistant looked embarrassed and said, "Not yet, but..." He hesitated to speak.
"But what?" Xiang Yu asked.
"Investigator Zhou said that he felt like he had been followed recently, but he couldn't confirm the other person's identity." The assistant lowered his voice with a hint of uneasiness in his tone.
Yan Jin and Xiang Yu exchanged glances, and both had a bad feeling in their hearts.
"It seems that someone doesn't want us to find out the truth..." Xiang Yu walked to the French window, overlooking the busy city, with a cold light in his eyes, "Notify them," he paused, his tone cold, "Start Plan B."
The assistant was shocked. He knew that the "Plan B" mentioned by Mr. Xiang would never be used unless it was absolutely necessary... Investigator Zhou felt like he was trapped in a maze, and every step he took was filled with unknown fear. Since he took over the investigation of the infringement case of Yan Jin's company, he has been constantly threatened by various obscure threats.
Once, he was nearly hit by an out-of-control motorcycle outside a cafe; another time, he returned to his apartment to find that the door lock had been maliciously broken and the room was in a mess. Although no valuables were lost, it was clearly a warning.
He knew that he had touched upon the interests of certain people, but he did not expect that their reaction would be so intense. The investigation was extremely difficult, and every clue was like a kite with a broken string, leaving him with no way to proceed.
"We can't put all our hopes on Investigator Zhou," Yan Jin analyzed calmly, "Since the other party dares to act so blatantly, they must have something to rely on. We must take the initiative."
Xiang Yu nodded in agreement. "I have contacted the relevant departments and they will investigate as soon as possible. At the same time, we must mobilize all the forces we can to find other ways to collect evidence."
Yan Jin and Xiang Yu were running non-stop between various departments. They knew very well that this battle was not only about the interests of the company, but also a struggle to uphold justice.
At the same time, on the other side, the head of Li's competitor was sitting at his desk, holding the phone in his hand, with a sinister sneer on his lips.
"Don't worry, I've arranged it," he lowered his voice with a hint of pride in his tone, "They won't be able to find evidence."
A deep voice came from the other end of the phone: "Remember what you promised me, otherwise..."
The person in charge of Li's competitor nodded and assured him: "Understood, understood, everything is going according to plan."
After hanging up the phone, he stood up and walked to the French window, overlooking the city, with greed in his eyes. In his opinion, as long as he could defeat Yan Jin's company, he could completely monopolize the entire market and gain huge profits.
However, what he didn't know was that Investigator Zhou discovered a missed clue by chance... He opened his phone and looked at the information on the screen, his pupils suddenly shrank...
