Investment Life

Chapter 70 1 hammer

"Mr. Lin said that?" After listening to Meng Lisheng's report, Chen Yuanming also sighed for a moment.

That is a real hero. He participated in the research and development of two bombs and one satellite, and he also fought for China's independent industry for his whole life.Without his vision beyond the times, maybe China will have a long time to introduce the CD production line, and spend more time to step into this new century.As a real second-generation red man, he could have had unlimited capital to enjoy and squander, but he didn't. Instead, he chose to go to the front line of the motherland's needs, do business down-to-earth and get rich, which drove the development of a place and filled the land that left the country. An embarrassing blank space.You must know that before him, China even needed the help of other countries to burn CDs. Not to mention self-improvement, even the most basic secrecy was difficult to achieve.

Such a pioneer is still bound by those outdated concepts, still thinking about how to get faster and cheaper, rather than the stability and order of the entire market.This kind of urgency may have gone beyond the category of quick success and instant benefit, and has become a nightmare that has plagued China for decades.Not to mention the present in 1994, it is the future in 2. China will still be overwhelmed by those layers of technical barriers, blocked, excluded, plundered or invaded. Madeinchina, World Factory, titles like these sound grand, but isn’t it a kind of sadness and helplessness?

"Yes." Meng Lisheng sighed, "Not to mention him, even I didn't take patents seriously at first. China lacks too much in this area, but the reason is really cruel and unbearable. Get used to it." Once formed, it is absolutely difficult to change. It seems that China will take many, many years to truly embark on the road of standardizing the market and becoming rich through technology..."

This topic is too heavy, and before it can continue, someone first protested.

"I said, why do you always look concerned about the country and the public?" Lin Xuewen tapped the table with his fingertips, "Busy business! Hurry up and solve the business problem first!"

Meng Lisheng suddenly burst out laughing, "How else can we solve it? Your draft is attractive enough, and Mr. Lin and Mr. Wu are not real black-hearted businessmen. Since you understand the overall situation, why do you have to worry about it?"

"Then it's over!" Lin Xuewen stood up as soon as he slapped the table, "Start cutting into the trial report, let's make a quick decision!"

With this order, the public opinion that had begun to cool down was hyped up again, and the trial of the patent infringement case that had been forgotten by people re-entered people's eyes.

A Sino-US joint venture sued two other Chinese companies, and the case involved patent infringement.This is extremely rare in Chinese history. Since the current domestic technical standards are still very low, and the protection period of patent laws in various countries is between 1o-2o years, those technologies that have been copied and stolen may have exceeded the patent protection long ago. Even if it is a relatively new technology, it is often the patent of other countries, and it is difficult to bring a lawsuit to China.

But Feiyan Company not only filed a lawsuit, but also fought vigorously.Even if some ordinary people had a short-term mentality before, they were shocked by the powerful public service advertisements, especially the passionate performances of big-name stars and the exposure of the media, which exposed the shady and harmful aspects of the optical disc industry to the public.Therefore, compared with the indifference or pure one-sided mentality at the beginning, the people who are interested in this case have turned it over a few times.

There are entrepreneurs who are anxious, middlemen and small traders who sit on the mountain and watch the tiger, some interest groups with ulterior motives, and ordinary people who are uncertain.Amidst all the curious or vigilant eyes, the trial finally kicked off.

Due to the particularity and complexity of this case, as well as Jinke’s strong backstage support, many people believed that it would become another tug of war, a complicated case that could bring down the company.But unlike what most people imagined, this trial appeared to be very stable and fast.In court, Feiyan's legal staff showed all the patent certificates of the VCD machine, the infringement evidence of Jinke and Lida, and other materials involved in the case. The content was detailed, rigorous, and extremely clear.

Based on these irrefutable materials, the court pronounced a verdict in court with reference to the Patent Law amended in 1992, imposed financial penalties on the infringements of the two companies, paid Feiyan Company RMB 5 million as compensation, and ordered them to recall all listed products , go back to the factory to install the css anti-theft module.However, Feiyan issued a statement to put all the fines totaling 1000 million yuan into the Anti-Piracy Foundation as the cornerstone of China's anti-piracy cause.

As soon as the news came out, the whole country was in an uproar.You must know that at this time, few companies in China were able to innovate independently and take the road of scientific research.Perhaps the new products they have spent a lot of time coming up with are just the elimination sequence of developed countries. This kind of technological difference is simply an asymmetric contest.Immediately, all kinds of criticisms and warnings in the newspapers began to flood, and countless people complained about Lida and Jinke. What’s more, they began to worry that if more joint ventures or foreign companies attack Chinese products, the achievements since the reform and opening up will be wiped out. .

Amidst such noise, the three companies hid quietly.A few days later, several major film companies came to the fore in the hustle and bustle, announcing the establishment of the China Film Industry Alliance with the goal of protecting the copyright of the film and television industry.Although the CSS key was used as the standard for genuine CDs before, it is the first time to stand up and do the work in the open, and because China is currently the only country in the world that officially enters the production and sales of VCDs, so China's CSS region code is defined It is a district 1, becoming the first real international case.

This statement was like a boulder thrown into a pool of water. Unexpectedly, before anyone could react, there would be another wave of ups and downs.The three companies Feiyan, Lida, and Jinke issued a joint statement, jointly using the CSS key as the standard, in response to the decision of the Chinese film industry, and determined a unified standard for the player.At the same time, Feiyan signed an agreement with the two companies. In the future, the mpeg decoding chips of Lida and Jinke will all be purchased from Feiyan's chip subsidiary. At the same time, every time a VCD is produced, a certain amount must be paid to Feiyan. patent fees.

If the previous court trial only made some people angry, this agreement was directly denounced by those with ulterior motives as 'a loss of power and humiliation of the country'.Faced with the pressure of public opinion, Fei Anheng, the director of the public relations department of Feiyan Company, stood up again and held a press conference.

At the meeting, he explained the agreement between Feiyan and the other two companies, and also made a solemn statement for the establishment of the CSS key. At this press conference, a passage became a classic that has been praised for many times, and it has also become a Chinese patent. The horn of spiritual awakening.

"Research and development requires capital investment. The birth of any product requires a lot of manpower and material resources. These intangible investments in the early stage will inevitably be integrated into the product and turned into tangible costs. The establishment of patent law and copyright law is precisely to maintain The preciousness of this investment is for the normal and orderly business competition. However, piracy, counterfeiting, and plagiarism have fundamentally subverted this common sense. Pirates are by no means green heroes who rob the rich and give to the poor, they are just a group of robbers who salivate for profit The laws of this world will not be changed because of the greed of individual people. The bait you eat now will inevitably turn into a bitter fruit in the future. Therefore, this pain is inevitable and must appear as soon as possible. We call on the country to improve relevant aspects as soon as possible. Laws and regulations also give those businessmen who work hard and strive to innovate a clear sky."

The effect of the press conference was clear, and the war of words immediately escalated several steps. Too many people were clamoring and mocking this stupid change brought about by the VCD industry.But a few days later, a document was released.The central government has issued clear instructions to include further improvement of the patent law in the proposals of the next National People's Congress, and to increase efforts to encourage independent innovation by enterprises, emphasizing that local policies should pave the way for outstanding national enterprises.As soon as this document was issued, the public opinion circle fell into a vacuum for an instant, and then the wind direction fell in response.

"This group of scum." Shaking the newspaper in his hand, Meng Lisheng cursed in a low voice with some annoyance. The righteous words of the previous two days have turned into flattery today. The faces of this group of people are too ugly.

"It's not because the person above said something. Let's see what's going on in Hainan this year. Who dares to underestimate the central government's policies." Lin Xuewen replied nonchalantly, "With this kind of instruction, Feiyan's case has finally come to an end. Is it okay to end?"

"Yeah, it's a final decision." Chen Yuanming smiled and leaned on the back of the sofa relaxedly. The exhaustion and pressure of the past few months are quite bearable.

Now that the dust has settled, Yan Qiaosen has returned to the United States a few days ago to continue to preside over the development of dvd. This time he did not go back alone. Jinke and Lida also sent their top The research team joined the research team of Zero Hour Company.Compared with the Taoism on the surface, this is the most important move for Feiyan. To put it bluntly, Vcd is just a transitional substitute. Once dVd is successfully developed, it will be abandoned and forgotten immediately. As a commercial product, Vcd's life is too short, and it is not suitable for mass production.

Compared with the Sony-Philips alliance, or the Toshiba-Time Warner front, Feiyan's strength is still too weak. At this moment, the key is to unite all friends who can be united.Therefore, the most sincere approach to Lida and Jinke is to invite them to participate in dVd research and development, and stand at the forefront of the dVd standard alliance.

With such an astonishing prospect, the dispute at the VCD level has become secondary instead.Moreover, in order to promote the dVd industry smoothly in China, the two companies must support the patent law and protect their own rights and interests.This interlocking layout finally ushered in another sea and sky for Feiyan, and directly promoted China's emphasis on and investment in research and development. There is no more cost-effective deal than this.

"Okay, since the matter here has been settled, I should go back to Beijing." Lin Xuewen stood up from the chair and stretched a long way.

"What? You're leaving..." Meng Lisheng raised his head in surprise. Although Lin Xuewen is quite arrogant, he is indeed a man of great ability. Can't 3% of the shares keep him in Feiyan?

"What? I'm a guest, do you still want Liu Bei to borrow Jingzhou?" Lin Xuewen stared back unceremoniously, and curled his lips, "It's a pity that Feiyan hasn't been listed yet, so why is this all for nothing..."

"Haha, if you think you don't have enough money, why don't I inject you with a few million more dollars?" Chen Yuanming was not surprised by Lin Xuewen's choice, and joked with a smile.

Feiyan fought a good battle this time, and it is bound to become a behemoth that attracts worldwide attention. But in the end, it is just a company. For Lin Xuewen, who can handle 2 billion yuan in financing, it is obviously not attractive enough. .Such talents are good to use on the blade, but don't need to be tied to the palm.

"Hey! Your old heart is big enough. We only need a head in this business. We don't care about the capital injection." Lin Xuewen snorted softly and refused decisively.

"You boy!" Meng Lisheng finally couldn't help laughing, "Okay, leave early. Feiyan's ticket is enough for you to get back your money, and you are still crying poor with us here, why don't we save you dense?"

In the business of planning, what is most needed is fame. For Lin Xuewen, Feiyan is indeed enough for him to become famous.It's just that no matter how good the relationship is, you have to talk about business in business, and each has a lot of business at hand, so how can you stop yourself for the sake of others.Therefore, in the face of Meng Lisheng's joke, Lin Xuewen waved his hand easily without any grievances.

"Don't mention the words of thanks, just remember to transfer the dividends to my account later. But..." Turning his head, Lin Xuewen looked up and down, left and right, Chen Yuanming who was sitting on the sofa, and smiled.

"Yuan Ming, we have known each other for more than a year. Actually, I have always wanted to ask you a question... Do you want to go to college?"
