Chapter 140 Infringement and the April 1st Incident
The shops in the commercial street where Ueto Shopping Mall is located are suddenly filled with all kinds of high-quality and low-priced imported products from Montenegro. The same type of goods are cheaper and better than those in Ueto Shopping Mall. Suddenly, Ueto Shopping Mall seems to have become cheaper than
The shops are also cheap, because the main advertisement of these shops is that they are cheap and suitable for civilian use.
As for high-priced and luxurious imported products, naturally they are the various luxury goods stores in the Zhengdong Railway Building.
Originally, local wealthy people went to Zhengdong to spend money to gain more status and face, but they often did so secretly to avoid being criticized by the mob. But now, as if overnight, Shanghu Shopping Mall is not only no longer a high-end national product, but even low-end.
We can't even talk about it, and we are compared with the foreign garbage from outside.
Some newspapers vaguely mentioned the term "IQ tax", which was surprising. It's a new term, but it's very appropriate. People who go to Ueto shopping malls seem to be really paying IQ tax.
At the same time, the Aoyue City Hall was in chaos because an army under the banner of the Aoyue Division appeared in Aoyue.
After many investigations, it was confirmed that the Oyue Division, which was rumored to have been completely wiped out in the northern region of the empire, was back.
He returned directly to the base camp, a military camp more than fifty miles away from Aoyue City.
This military camp was originally occupied by the newly formed Ao-Vietnam Security Regiment. The superior officers of the regiment were all from outside the country, and the soldiers were recruited from the local area.
As soon as the Otsutsu Division arrived, the soldiers of the Security Regiment directly defected and disarmed the First Battalion, which was loyal to the Kyoto Military Headquarters, and the Otsutsu Division took over the military camp.
The city hall quickly received a telegram from the division. The division commander Kawamoto Shigeyoshi requested that the department repay military pay that had not been received for more than a year, pensions for fallen soldiers, comfort payments for disabled soldiers, and expedition
Extra perks for more than a year.
At the same time, there is still military expenditure that needs to be replenished with weapons, supplies, etc.
The City Hall can only send an urgent report to Kyoto and request the Military Ministry to make a decision. Today's cabinet is completely a decoration. Prime Minister Yamamoto's various decrees are usually issued by the Military Ministry.
Kazanobu Kobayashi, the newly appointed governor (lord) of Otsutsuchi and mayor of Otsutsu City, unexpectedly received a reply from Prime Minister Yamamoto Yuu the next day, saying that he would allocate materials and money to the Otsutsu Division as appropriate and that he would send one soon.
The special envoy came to express condolences to the Aoyue Division who had worked hard and made great achievements.
Ichishin Kobayashi didn't know what medicine the Prime Minister was selling, so he could only hold an emergency meeting to discuss the amount of money allocated to the Ouyue Division, and try to deal with it as little as possible first.
…
There is a two-story shop called "Oyueshai" on the commercial street near Ueto Shopping Mall. It actually sells local handicrafts, but it does not involve the fierce competition between imported products and local products that is fierce in the local area today.
In the window room on the second floor, Lu Ming was sitting on a bamboo chair with Japanese charm, playing with a car toy on the table, a wind-up toy car. The packaging box was all Japanese characters, and it was a toy company under the Ueto Consortium.
Production.
Lu Ming thought about it for a while and said, "Well, what you found is good!"
Standing opposite is Papada. She is dressed very casually today. Her bad-girl cool outfit goes well with her mixed-race and wild beauty.
In fact, just like Erica who is sitting next to Lu Ming, both of them are dressed in the same college style, wearing black knitted hats, black college uniform dresses, white socks and black leather shoes, but Erika is the ultimate in cuteness and sweetness.
Pada is a cool bad student.
The two of them went shopping in Ueto shopping mall together and discovered this toy car.
"We need to take samples to a specialized agency for analysis to see if they have infringed New World Toy Company's patent rights. From my point of view, there is a 90% possibility." Lu Ming weighed the toy car with interest.
.
New World Toys Company has long since been spun off from Huaxia Clothing Industry and became an independent subsidiary of Huaxia Group Holdings.
Wind-up toy cars, wind-up machine dolls, etc., sold by New World Toy Company, are popular all over the world.
The small mechanical device that uses a key to twist the forward spring to provide power to the toy is a patent of Huaxia Technology.
The patent period is twenty years, that is, after twenty years, other companies can use this key spring technology on toys without obtaining authorization.
Today, the toy car products produced by the Ueto Foundation Heisei Toys Co., Ltd. are very similar to those of Shinsegae Toys Co., Ltd., including the layout of the colored patches, but they use different colors.
The key spring mechanism.
That is to say, it is not only a copycat product, but also infringes the patent rights of Huaxia Technology.
After thinking about it, Lu Ming picked up the phone and asked someone to come to Aoyue to get toy samples, and then immediately return to Xianquan and take a plane to Donghai.
Within two days, the analysis results will be presented. If it is determined that it is not only suspected of being a copycat but also infringes the patent of Huaxia Technology, a lawsuit will be filed against the Ueto Consortium immediately through Lu Liu Stewart Wang Law Firm.
Listening to what Lu Ming said on the phone, it seemed like he was the big boss behind these super companies, and Papada was even more horrified when she listened.
Lu Ming looked at her and smiled: "You did a good job, you are indeed a top student in the business school."
Papada hurriedly said: "Ericiang discovered it first and said that this kind of toy car seems to be infringing upon copyright infringement."
Lu Ming looked at Erika, who lowered her head shyly and whispered: "I just think it looks too similar to the roller coaster you bought me a few years ago."
Lu Ming coughed. After all, Papada was an outsider and the relationship was run by husband and wife. He was just like coaxing a child and often bought toys as gifts. It still felt a bit awkward.
"Since you don't like being a teacher, then you and Papada can go to her department together. She will take care of you, so I can rest assured." Lu Ming said, feeling a little helpless because Erika really couldn't be the king of children.
Papada secretly told herself that Erika was not happy at school.
Erica also talked to her best friend Papada about her own dream, which was actually to be a virtuous wife, husband and wife, and to have more children for herself.
It seems that the education she received from childhood is still deeply ingrained in her heart.
Despite being helpless, I can't help but feel a little touched in my heart.
"I, I don't like being a teacher..." Erica said softly, not daring to look at Lu Ming.
Lu Ming smiled and was about to speak when suddenly the phone rang. Lu Ming answered the phone. After listening for a while, he whispered something.
After standing up, Lu Ming came to the window.
There was a faint noise in the distance, but I saw a dark crowd gradually gathering at the entrance of the commercial street. Many of them were gangsters dressed in kimonos and clogs and carrying short swords at their waists. In the front row of the crowd, several banners were held up, with Japanese characters and Chinese characters learned.
, Lu Ming could understand. The general meanings of the provisions on these banners were "Expelling Montenegrin products and supporting domestic products", "Down with the unscrupulous businessmen who help the Montenegrin invaders in the trade war" and so on.
Then, the black crowd began to march into the commercial street shouting slogans.
The terrifying noise could be clearly heard here, and both Erika and Papada came to the window.
"Stop looking!" Lu Ming gestured to the two of them.
Although the two were curious, they both obeyed and left the window.
Outside, the Japanese gangsters were beating anyone they saw, and even broke into the shop and smashed it. It seemed that they even had a knife fight with a shop owner.
At this moment, gunshots rang out, and young men in caps armed with submachine guns rushed out of many shops. Some shops had black holes in their second-floor windows, and the muzzles of machine guns spit out tongues of flame and fired.
The crowd of Japanese thugs fell one by one like harvested rice.
