Cannon Fodder Dedicated to Death[Transmigration Book]

Both Chen Zhou and Wen Zheng were shocked into a cold sweat, and their drowsiness disappeared.It's still early spring, the night is as cold as water, but both of them have wet backs, what does this mean?It means that Zhengrong is facing lawsuits, huge compensation and discredit.

Chen Zhou couldn't believe his ears, how could he make such a low-level mistake!Zhengrong’s mobile phone chips have always been purchased from Qualcomm, bought back the copyright, and then commissioned an OEM to produce them.

Core chips like CPU and GPU have never been modified by the company because they are too complicated.And now it is revealed that some GDS images of the CPU and GPU use Samsung's patented technology. In addition to human factors, there is absolutely no second possibility for this situation.

Wen Zheng stayed there for a while before turning on the phone again and calling Zhao Yang, but the first dial was an empty number, and he re-dialed unwillingly, but it was still an empty number. He was so anxious that he burst out with foul language: "Fuck Zhao Yang , Answer the phone for me! What the hell is going on!"

Chen Zhou also came back to his senses, and grabbed Wen Zheng's trembling hand: "Stop beating, Zhao Yang has already gone to Australia. If I'm right, their whole family has immigrated to Australia."

Wen Zheng's eyes were red: "Zhao Yang really did it?"

Chen Zhou swallowed hard and nodded: "Our CPU has always been a Qualcomm chip, and it has never been modified. Now there is a problem with this part of the picture, which can only be caused by human factors. When we got the chip, it was before the price war. , I haven’t broken face with Qualcomm yet, it’s unlikely to be the fault of Qualcomm, and they won’t be so disrespectful to their own feathers. Who else but Zhao Yang can get access to the core files and have the right to modify them?”

Wen Zheng's hands were clenched into fists, and he glared angrily: "Why did he do this?"

Chen Zhou said: "I don't know. And there is another problem. Zhao Ming, who produces the chip, has not been found out." Zhao Yang's tampering with the pattern on the company's side can still be operated if it is not found out, because the final check is Zhao Yang himself.But it is strange that the OEM did not find out, because the processing factory is very sensitive to these patented technologies, and will confirm with customers one by one to ensure that there is no infringement problem before mass production.

"You mean, Zhaoming was also involved in this matter?" Wen Zheng's face turned frosty, "What the hell did Zhaoming do? No, no, if the pictures we sent are different from the ones that Zhaoming processed, then this The mistake was caused by Zhaoming, and they have to compensate for all the losses, no matter how stupid Wu Chengkang is, he will not lose the reputation and interests of his factory for revenge."

Chen Zhou nodded: "Yes, it can't be Zhaoming's modification of the picture. It can only be Zhao Yang's modification. Zhaoming also knows it, and didn't remind our company that it is wrong to make mistakes. In other words, they are colluding. Wu Chengkang is taking revenge on us. "

Speaking of this, Chen Zhou's face was very ugly. At the beginning, Wu Chengkang was beaten up by Wen Zheng for molesting him, and he didn't come to seek revenge after that. He didn't expect to hold back his big move here.

Wen Zheng closed his eyes weakly: "It's probably because he colluded with Zhao Yang and wanted to put us to death. I'll contact the legal department. You should think of a way and see what the remedial measures are." He lifted the quilt as he spoke. Get out of bed.

Chen Zhou called him to stop: "It's cold at night, put on more clothes."

Wen Zheng turned a deaf ear and opened the door barefooted to the living room outside.

Chen Zhou got out of bed and chased him out with his nightgown.Wen Zheng was standing by the window on the phone, his tone sounded much calmer.Relieved a little, Chen Zhou put the clothes on him, and took the shoes for him to put on.Wen Zheng looked down at him, and obediently put on his shoes.

Chen Zhou returned to bed and began to search for news on the Internet.This incident was first reported by the Australian media, and most likely Zhao Yang took the initiative to find someone to break the news. I don’t know what Samsung’s attitude is, hoping to find the best solution to minimize the company’s losses.

But when I think about it carefully, my heart turns cold. If Zhao Yang and Zhao Ming did this intentionally, will Samsung be in trouble?Although from a strategic point of view, Zhengrong is still unable to be Samsung's opponent, but the two overseas mid- and low-end markets are also competitors, and Samsung may not seize the opportunity to kill each other.

If Samsung agrees to pay the patent fee according to the market price, it will need to pay a large amount of additional fees for Zhengrong, which is tantamount to worsening the already difficult economic situation for Zhengrong.But that's still the best case scenario.

In the worst case, if Samsung disagrees, they will have to pay infringement fees, pay high patent fees, and may even not allow the use of their patents. Then Zhengrong will have to recall all mobile phones, and this loss is unpredictable. It would even threaten Zhengrong's survival.

Wen Zheng came back to the room, took off his clothes while walking, opened the cloakroom and went in to find clothes: "Go to the company now, I have notified all the senior management to go to the company for a meeting."

Chen Zhou also hurriedly got up to wash and change clothes.

Going to work at this time, whether it is Wen Zheng or Chen Zhou, is the first time in life experience.When they arrived at the company, Wen Rong and Tang Yang had already arrived, and Wen Rong was already contacting Zhaoming's person in charge to check the GDS map.

Wen Zheng glanced at Tang Yan, but didn't speak.Chen Zhou hurried over to help check the design drawings. The IC diagram of the CPU was extremely complicated, and he couldn't read it all in a while.Both Chen Zhou and Wen Rong took chances, hoping it was just a false alarm, but who would make fun of such a terrible thing?

Others arrived one after another. In addition to the senior management, there were also technicians responsible for the CPU and GPU chips. As soon as they arrived, they checked the documents intensively and contacted Zhaoming to verify the problem.

The busy scene in the whole office is not like three or four o'clock in the morning.

Wen Zheng discussed with the legal department and the public relations department how to deal with it, how to publicize and issue a statement, and Tang Yan was also listening, occasionally raising a few comments.At this critical moment, Wen Zheng didn't chase him away, and Tang Yan was also an insider, so he also had relevant opinions on this matter.

It was an extremely cold and dark night, but it was too short for Wen Zheng. As soon as they found out the problem, it was dawn.In a key link of CPU and GPU, it was replaced with Samsung's patented technology.The problem is obvious, and someone did it on purpose.

According to Zhang Shuang, the head of the department responsible for handing over the design drawings, before he left for Zhaoming, Zhao Yang had to leave the mobile hard drive, saying that he was going to Zhaoming, and he would bring the design drawings there himself.

Zhao Yang had personally sent the blueprints before, but this time he offered to ask Zhang Shuang why he should not send them.But I didn't expect that such a big mess would happen. Zhang Shuang was scared to death at the moment. Zhao Yang was already in Australia at the moment, and there was nothing wrong with him. Although he was not directly responsible, it was also caused by his negligence at work. What to do.

Out of politeness and respect, Wen Zheng did not contact Samsung before dawn.Just when he was about to contact Samsung, Samsung issued a statement of infringement to the world. Samsung resolutely defended its patent rights and held the infringing Zhengrong Group accountable.

They were able to issue a statement so quickly, and they had already thought of countermeasures. Obviously, they would not be later than Zhengrong when they heard the news.For all these reasons, I am horrified when I think about it carefully.

This battle is unprecedentedly difficult.Wen Zheng personally talked with the person in charge of Samsung on the phone. The person on the other end was extremely arrogant. Wen Zheng spoke English while the other party spoke Korean. Although Wen Zheng found a Korean translator for emergency, on such a serious occasion, Through the mouth of the third person, one can imagine how difficult the communication was.

Wen Zheng sincerely apologized to the other party. The infringement was definitely not a subjective wish, but a mistake in a certain link. Zheng Rong will buy the other party's patent at the market price.

The other side arrogantly stated that Samsung attaches great importance to this infringement issue. They only use this patent for their own products and do not intend to flow to the market.Zhengrong should compensate Samsung for its losses and try to minimize Samsung's losses.

This conversation did not make any progress, but only expressed the wishes of both parties, and did not reach a consensus on solving the problem.

After the unsuccessful communication with Samsung, Zhengrong Group immediately issued an apology statement, saying that due to work mistakes, there were flaws in the design drawings, and the company embezzled the patented technology of Samsung Group.Zhengrong Group is willing to bear all responsibilities and losses.

At the same time, the company also reported to the police and issued a wanted warrant to Zhao Yang.But this is basically useless. Australia and China have no extradition regulations, so fleeing to Australia is basically tantamount to getting away with it.Obviously, Zhao Yang has planned for a long time.

Samsung Group did not respond again.The company has to arrange for someone to go to South Korea to formally contact Samsung to negotiate a solution to the problem.

At the same time, the domestic media began to report on the incident, causing an uproar in the public opinion.A layman may not be able to see anything, they will only feel that Zhengrong does not care about feathers and infringes on Samsung's patent rights. Of course, solving the problem is nothing more than losing money.

Experts know how serious the problem is, and the compensation is not a small amount. If Samsung is not relentless, it may cause Zhengrong to go bankrupt.

If it is said that the most damaging degree of the previous price war to Zhengrong was to cut off the mobile phone business, this time it is at the critical moment of Zhengrong's life and death.

Countless eyes focused on the Zhengrong infringement case.There are a bunch of people who beat Zheng Rong to death with one shot. People in a certain country love to plagiarize and do not respect intellectual property rights. From the world of science and technology to academia, from film and television literature to industrial technology design, there is a wave of evil spirits. No plagiarism.Zhengrong hit the iron plate this time, Samsung must not let it go easily!

According to the analysis of more objective people in the industry, according to the statements issued by Samsung and Zhengrong, Zhengrong copied a certain part of the GDS diagram of the CPU and GPU, which is not reasonable, because such a core chip, Zhengrong should not It will be modified, but directly use Qualcomm's chip.Why does Samsung's patent appear in Qualcomm's chip?

Zheng Rong's statement did not reveal too many details.They are still trying to find a way to contact Samsung to find a solution to the crisis.

In the evening, Samsung issued a lawyer’s letter stating that it had filed a lawsuit with the Beijing Municipal People’s Court in response to the Zhengrong Group’s infringement case, demanding compensation of 50 billion U.S. dollars for infringement losses, resolutely refusing to provide Zhengrong with the right to use patents, and asking Zhengrong to stop Sell ​​infringing products that are currently being sold.

When Chen Zhou saw the lawyer's letter, he gasped. This was the last thing they wanted to see. Although the amount of compensation was not necessarily as high as the other party asked for, this one refused to sell the patent and stopped The sale of existing products means that these mobile phones must be recalled, and the direct economic loss will be as high as tens of billions.

Tens of billions may not seem like much for a company with annual sales of hundreds of billions. If the company is still operating normally, the difficulties will only be temporary. It is tantamount to the last straw that breaks it.
