Faye Wong told Chu Tianyao that he had been appearing on the front pages of major news media in the past two days, and it was difficult for her not to recognize him.
"So that's the case. Does that have anything to do with the question I asked you?"
"Of course, look at this."
Faye Wong also went to the side and brought a box. After opening it, Chu Tianyao was shocked.
Because there is also a VCD placed inside, but there is no Xingyao Technology trademark on it!
"Where did you buy this from?
Pirated goods?”
Chu Tianyao couldn't help but feel a little nervous. If it was really pirated goods, then the work of tracing and cracking down on them must start as soon as possible!
"You'll know just by looking at this."
Chu Tianyao reached out and took the instruction manual from Faye Wong, and saw the clues at first sight.
"Why are they all in Japanese?"
"Because this is what I brought back when I went to Tokyo for fun!"
Ye Qianwen smiled slightly and explained the cause and effect.
Because Ye Qianwen was targeted last time, after meeting Chu Tianyao at Faye Wong's house, she went to a friend's house in Tokyo to relax.
In the process, Faye Wong learned about Chu Tianyao's identity through the news and shared the news with Ye Qianwen.
Ye Qianwen also saw such a precious gift at her friend's home.
"No, this must be an infringing pirated copy. I must track it down to the end!"
Chu Tianyao knew that this matter must not be delayed, so he immediately prepared to call people in the company.
He took the box over and found that there was no trademark or manufacturer on it, which made him even more confused.
"Mr. Chu, what's the matter?"
"Yes, and it is very important!"
"I found that the same VCD appeared in Japan without authorization. Although it has not entered the market, the situation is already very serious."
"Check it for me immediately!"
After hanging up the phone, Chu Tianyao's expression was still very solemn.
Faye Wong was almost frightened when she saw it and asked tentatively.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I really want to thank you so much this time."
Chu Tianyao said sincerely, and Ye Qianwen responded with a carefree pat on the chest.
"It doesn't matter. You helped us a lot last time. This time I think something is fishy and I plan to inform you."
“I never thought piracy and infringement could be such a serious matter.”
"Anyway, I hope I can help you."
Chu Tianyao has since recognized the character of Faye Wong and Ye Qianwen.
Such simple and kind-hearted people are really rare in the mixed entertainment industry.
"Thank you very much. I have to go back and deal with this matter first."
"When I take care of it, I'll treat you to dinner next time!"
After Chu Tianyao finished speaking, he quickly left with the instructions for use. After all, this was the only written evidence.
Ye Qianwen saw Faye Wong's eyes that looked through autumn water, and couldn't help but said sarcastically again:
"Come on, stop looking, your little lover is back!"
Faye Wong came to her senses at this time and immediately rushed over with her fists raised.
"I couldn't say it in front of others just now, and now you're making fun of me!"
"I'm not done with you!"
By the time the two sisters were playing around, Chu Tianyao had already returned to the car.
"Let's drive, the sooner we go back, the better!"
Long Si stepped on the accelerator all the way, and Chu Tianyao got the news as soon as he stepped into the company door after returning.
"Mr. Chu, we have investigated the issue you mentioned."
"But now I have never seen VCD or similar products in the entire Japanese market."
"There is indeed something we can't find out. Is there any misunderstanding?"
Chu Tianyao immediately shook his head after hearing this.
"Absolutely impossible, I have seen that VCD brought back from Tokyo."
"Other than the trademark being different from the Xingyao vcd, they are simply carved from the same mold."
"If you can't find it, please translate this for me first. Maybe there are clues in it!"
Chu Tianyao took out the instruction manual, and even Xu Chuxia was at a loss after seeing it.
"I don't understand Japanese either, but I can ask someone for help."
Fortunately, when Xu Chuxia was studying abroad, she met many classmates who knew various foreign languages, and this finally came in handy.
After Chu Tianyao waited patiently for several hours, Xu Chuxia made new progress.
"Mr. Chu, you are right, I found it!"
Xu Chuxia came to Chu Tianyao with the translated full text, took out a pen and drew a circle on a name.
"Nakata Co., Ltd.?"
"That's right, this is the only company name that appears on the manual."
"So it's most likely the manufacturer!"
Chu Tianyao nodded and thought that was the case.
Chu Tianyao has probably figured out the situation now.
According to Ye Qianwen, she brought this gift back from her good friend's house, and it was also given to her by the other party.
Xu Chuxia has conducted a detailed investigation and found that similar products have not appeared in the entire Japanese domestic market.
So it is very possible that a certain manufacturer in Japan has also smelled the business opportunities of vcd.
The other party has already made the same type of VCD, but they are not in a hurry to release it. Could it be that they want to make a breakthrough on this?
Because the other party must have worked hard to investigate behind the scenes.
If the vcd is released openly in Japan like this, it will be an infringement.
When the time comes, as long as Chu Tianyao wants to, he will be able to win against the opponent even if it is a cross-border case.
But if the other party makes a breakthrough at the technical level, the situation will be completely different.
Chu Tianyao is a person with memories of time travel.
He knew very well that in the era when VCDs were all the rage, a product called DVD would soon replace it.
Subsequent DVD products have richer functions, are thinner and more convenient, and are completely substitutes for VCDs!
Chu Tianyao did have this consideration in mind when he asked people from Xingyao Technology Company to develop VCD.
But he just didn't expect that everything would happen so quickly.
"It seems that in this business world, you really can't let down your guard for a moment!"
Chu Tianyao murmured to himself, already having the next strategy in mind.
"Since you can contact your classmates who understand Japanese, you should be able to contact them and go to Japan in person."
"The first destination is Tokyo, we must conduct an on-site investigation to find out this matter!"
Chu Tianyao handed over this important task to Xu Chuxia, and she nodded in agreement with a heavy face.
After Xu Chuxia left, Chu Tianyao immediately called Lu Qiuyu.
"Mr. Chu, what are your orders?"
"Notify the scientific research department immediately that the vcd product will be upgraded as soon as possible!"
Hearing such sudden news, Lu Qiuyu also looked confused.
"Mr. Chu, this thing shouldn't be something that can be obtained casually, right?"
"I know. Anyway, just convey the order to me. The people in the scientific research department know better than you."
"The other most important thing is that you must go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau in person to apply for the DVD's trademark, patent, etc.!"
Chu Tianyao's words made Lu Qiuyu a little confused again.
"DVD?
What it is?"
"Don't worry, I will send you a fax right away. You can make a copy of the drawing and give it to the Research Department, and you can take the other copy to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau."
"You'll understand when you see the drawings."
Chu Tianyao threw down his mobile phone and immediately went to the R&D department of Xingyao Technology Company to find an employee who could draw.
"Give me the computer."
The employee was stunned at the time and thought he had made some mistake.
As a result, after he got up, he saw Chu Tianyao sitting down and began to skillfully draw pictures.
At the end, cold sweat broke out on his face, because as the boss, Chu Tianyao was actually more proficient than him!
"Okay, send this picture to the Shenzhen City Headquarters via fax machine, as fast as possible!"
Half an hour later, Chu Tianyao finally completed the composition of the DVD based on his memory. The employees nodded immediately after listening.
"clear!"
Soon Lu Qiuyu received the fax. She immediately made a copy and asked her staff to take it and go straight to the scientific research department.
After the design drawing was sent to the scientific research department, the staff's eyes immediately lit up after seeing it.
"This...isn't this the upgraded version of the VCD that we have been thinking about for a long time?"
"Who sent the design drawings?"
Upon hearing this, the person responsible for delivering the letter was also stunned and said directly.
"It's Mr. Lu, but I heard that Mr. Chu sent this design drawing."
When they heard Chu Tianyao's name, everyone was not so surprised.
Obviously, everyone always feels that whenever something shocking like this happens to Chu Tianyao, it always seems normal.
On the other side, Lu Qiuyu went straight to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and spent a whole day applying for a series of trademarks and patented technologies.
In the evening, Chu Tianyao called and asked.
"How is it going?
Is it going well?"
"Mr. Chu, everything went well during the day. I followed your instructions and applied for thirteen trademarks and eighteen related patents."
"Very good, please send me the relevant documents immediately. You have made a great contribution this time!"
After hanging up the phone, Chu Tianyao's face was also full of smiles.
Under normal circumstances, it would be enough to apply for a trademark and a patent.
But Chu Tianyao always feels that if we really want to deal with the enemy, this level alone is not enough.
Therefore, in addition to the trademark and patent of Xingyao DVD, Chu Tianyao also made many other efforts.
For example, whether it is a VCD or an upgraded version of DVD, after taking it apart, there are many technologies that can be sold separately.
Chu Tianyao took this into consideration and decided to be prepared.
After everything was ready, Chu Tianyao waited for news from the people who went to Tokyo for field inspection.
"Whoever is planning to overtake me in a corner wants to take a hit from me."
"This time, you will definitely pay the price!"
On the other side, at Nakata Co., Ltd. in Tokyo, the development of DVDs has entered its final stages.
Nakata Shimayasu, who was in charge of this project, was very happy, and so was Huang Xiaoyao who learned the news.
"That's awesome, Mr. Nakata. Do you know that you really helped me a lot this time?"
"If I tell Boss Xiang the good news, we will definitely receive a huge commission!"
After Huang Xiaoyao finished speaking, Nakata Shimasu shook his head.
"Mr. Huang, that's not what you said. If you think like this, you will miss the opportunity to make a lot of money!"
"Mr. Nakata, what does this mean?"
Nakata Shimasu smiled strangely at this time, stood up and closed the doors and windows of the office.
"Mr. Huang, tell me honestly, if we hand over the task now, how much remuneration will you receive?"
Huang Xiaoyao paused, and then said seriously:
"I'm one of Boss Xiang's capable assistants, and my usual salary is 30,000 yuan!"
"I helped him so much this time. At least I should be rewarded with one month's salary!"
