As the chairman of Jiabin Electronics Factory, Wang Jiabin has been very proud of himself in recent years.
He is over forty years old. When he was young, he was a gangster. He relied on a group of desperate brothers to start his business by occupying land in several stations. He only opened this electronics factory four years ago and completely washed it out.
Chairman Wang.
Although they have the name of an electronics factory, their factory used to manufacture everything from light bulbs to electronic products, but without exception, they were all knockoffs without patent authorization.
Last year, the program "Quality Miles" was very popular, and many factories producing and selling counterfeit goods across the country suffered, but their electronics factories survived.
It's nothing more than that although they engage in copycats, the other company doesn't sue. Even if they do sue, they will be held back by their attempts.
Wang Jiabin had people under his command, and he had done many dirty things to his competitors, including splashing dogs with blood and painting big characters on them. This allowed their factory to gradually grow in just a few years.
Especially in the past two months, Wang Jiabin had just returned from traveling to Yangcheng. He originally wanted to go to the coastal areas to learn from the advanced experience of his peers, but unexpectedly, Wang Jiabin actually found a business opportunity.
The hottest selling product in Yangcheng right now is a video disc player called Xingyao VCD. Although this is the first time he has heard of this thing, it does not prevent him from discovering the business opportunities in it.
Advertisements for Xingyao VCD and Beibeijia products are everywhere in Yangcheng.
Wang Jiabin's electronics factory couldn't produce this good thing, but this VCD is different.
For this reason, Wang Jiabin specially bought ten VCDs and asked several technicians in the factory to take them apart and study them carefully.
What they bought were VCD-compatible machines. To put it bluntly, they were assembled products on the assembly line. According to the technicians, it would not be difficult for their electronics factory to build these machines.
The only difficulty lies in purchasing the original parts.
Not to mention Sichuan Province, even looking at the entire southwest region, if you want to purchase these decoders, you have to rely on imports. They are a small electronics factory and they don't know any foreign companies. They have no choice but to ask someone to go to the Shenzhen market to find a middleman to get the goods.
Therefore, although the original parts have been assembled, their cost is much higher than that of Xingyao Technology.
Even so, Wang Jiabin also calculated that they only purchase the lowest quality electronic components, and there are even many second-hand products that are repaired or even recycled. They only need to reassemble and renovate them, and then they can sell them as genuine products.
Xingyao Technology sells it for 2,500 yuan, so they directly cut the price by 500 yuan.
The retail price is 2,000 yuan per unit.
Even so, because of the presence of refurbished and second-hand parts, although their prices are low, their profit margins are much higher than that of Shining Technology.
In less than two months, Wang Jiabin's VCD industry has grown bigger and bigger. Now Jiabin Electronics Factory has expanded its employment several times and has hundreds of employees. Almost all the products that come out of the assembly line are sold every day.
Out of stock.
Seeing the gold being made every day, Wang Jiabin had to laugh out of his dreams.
However, the good times did not last long. Just two days ago, a court summons appeared in Wang Jiabin's office.
Although Jiabin Electronics Factory is a legal enterprise with complete procedures, the VCDs produced in their factory are completely fake products.
It stands to reason that no one in China currently owns the core patent for VCD products, and even Wanyan Company itself has not applied for one.
But the bad thing is that Wang Jiabin is simple-minded, and the VCDs produced in the factory are almost one-to-one replicas of Xingyao VCDs.
Not only the appearance, but also the design of the compatible machine.
Although Chu Tianyao does not have the core patent of VCD, it has two patents of its own Xingyao VCD.
One is a design patent, and the other is a utility model patent.
If Wang Jiabin copied Wanyan Company's VCD, Chu Tianyao wouldn't be able to do anything against him, but this guy just copied his own product, which left enough evidence for Chu Tianyao.
At this time, I was in the office of the electronics factory.
Wang Jiabin looked at the lawyer invited in front of him and asked quickly: "Lawyer Li, please take a look, if we take this lawsuit, can we win?"
If it was just a court summons, Wang Jiabin would not take it seriously at all, but yesterday Chu Tianyao personally brought the legal team to the Jiabin Electronics Factory, and the harsh words he said made Wang Jiabin a little scared.
He also investigated Chu Tianyao's identity afterwards, and found out that he was not only the general manager of Xingyao Technology, but also the CEO of Xingyao Liquor, and now the president of the Sichuan Beer Association.
Offending such a big shot made him feel a little unsure.
In the office, Li Shuo, who was wearing a suit and glasses, shook his head and said with a hint of regret: "Mr. Wang, the other party has obviously obtained key evidence. According to the patent law, you have indeed violated the other party's patent rights. I think...
The likelihood of winning this case is almost zero."
"What?
Lawyer Li, you are a famous barrister in Chengdu, how can you not even win this case?"
After hearing the other party's answer, Wang Jiabin decided again:
"Don't worry, money is not an issue. I know your methods. As long as you can win this lawsuit, I will give you 50,000 yuan!"
Fifty thousand yuan in legal fees is naturally not a small sum.
When Wang Jiabin said these words, the lawyer named Li Shuo also showed a trace of hesitation on his face.
"In the face of direct evidence, it is impossible to win the case, but I can try to help you delay it. If we continue to appeal from the local court to the high court, it will be delayed for at least three months."
Li Shuo said to Wang Jiabin.
"Three months?"
Wang Jiabin frowned, obviously not satisfied.
"Let me ask again, if we lose the lawsuit three months later, how much money will we have to pay?"
After hearing this, Li Shuo said: "It depends on Boss Wang's illegal income. The court will let people inspect it when the time comes. I think the money will be quite big."
"Does that mean you'll lose everything?
That’s not okay!”
Wang Jiabin quickly shook his head and flatly rejected this suggestion.
The lawsuit was dragged on, but the fire far away could not save the fire nearby. It dragged on for a while and could not last forever. If he wanted to save his own factory, it seemed that he had to find another way.
"Lawyer Li, you can help me figure this out after you go back. I will notify you at any time if anything happens."
Wang Jiabin waved his hand, and then one of his men sent Li Shuo out.
Sitting in the office, Wang Jiabin's face suddenly became ugly.
It took him a lot of effort to come up with such a clever plan to make a fortune. How could he be willing to accept if someone blocked his way of making money?
Not long after, the men who sent Li Shuo away came back.
"Boss, if you want me to say this, we have to figure it out ourselves. If it doesn't work, I'll find a few people to threaten the boy named Chu. After all, I, Ma Laoliu, still have a bit of a reputation on the road."
The man who calls himself Ma Laoliu was naturally the first confidant to follow Wang Jiabin in grabbing territory, and he has been highly valued by Wang Jiabin over the years.
However, when he heard his subordinate's words, Wang Jiabin shook his head.
"This time is different from before. This person surnamed Chu has a big background. We can't offend him easily. Besides, it took a lot of effort for us to clear our name. If someone gets caught, it will be all over."
Wang Jiabin seems to be a reckless person, but in fact he is also a well-established guy. Now that Jiabin is an electronics manufacturer and has a big business, he has long been cleared and has become a well-known person in the business circles of Chengdu. How can he still be the shady person he used to be?
activities.
"This won't work, and that won't work either, so what should we do... Or, let's go to the copycat Wanyan vcd?
In this case, Chu Tianyao won’t be able to sue us.”
Ma Laoliu suddenly came up with an idea.
Upon hearing this, Wang Jiabin's eyes lit up, but he quickly shook his head and rejected the plan.
"It's too late to change it now. The guy surnamed Chu already has evidence of our infringement. Besides, I've said before that the cost of copying Wanyan VCD is too high. Only by making compatible machines can we have high profits."
Wang Jiabin sighed.
He now finally knows the benefits of patented technology.
Even though he clearly knows that copycat VCDs are a way to make a fortune, he is currently unable to make a compatible machine with his own patent because he does not have his own technical team.
If he really wants to make VCDs like Wanyan Company, the cost will be too high, and his current wealth is not enough to burn through.
How can I do?
For a moment, Wang Jiabin didn't have a solution in mind.
