"Judge, the other party admitted in person that he plagiarized our product. You should have heard it, he can prove it on the spot." Mr. Zong hurriedly shouted to several judges.
No one present expected this situation. This matter has already passed. Why didn't Lu Feng bring it upon himself?
"In view of the other party's arrogant attitude and contempt for the law, we refuse to reconcile!"
"Yes, that's too arrogant. I've never seen anyone so arrogant."
"If you say this in front of the judge, do you think we are easy to bully?"
"Quiet! Quiet!" The judge hurriedly asked everyone to quiet down. Seeing that Lu Feng had a headache, wasn't Si'er just lighting up a lantern and looking for trouble?
Plagiarism or not plagiarism, it is meaningless now.
Although Gao Zhiwei and others didn't know what Lu Feng meant by saying this now, they felt that Mr. Lu must have his own intentions.
"Are you sure what you just said?" The judge's voice contained some hint.
Lu Feng seemed to not understand, nodded and said: "I can make it on the spot, and their product manager happens to be there too. I want to prove that we did not plagiarize. The same taste does not mean the formula is the same. We have compared the formulas before.
But the other party still said that we were incompatible with them in terms of taste, packaging, marketing, market positioning, etc.”
"Since Mr. Lu wants to show it, we are also happy to see it."
"Then let's show it. It can be considered as untying the knot. To do business, to be harmonious and make money, what do you need?" the judge asked.
"Some juice, additives and so on." Lu Feng said.
"I'll ask the product manager to get it." After speaking, Mr. Zong gave a few instructions to a middle-aged man next to him, who stood up and left the living room.
"I think this behavior of both of you is very inappropriate. We will not support Wahaha's previous compensation request. At the same time, in terms of patents, Jiamei Food does not infringe."
"Regarding the previously reported safety issues with Jiamei Food's products, the Market Supervision Bureau has sealed many products. After inspection, they meet the standards. For some of the previously sealed products, Mr. Lu can notify people to pick them up and pay some temporary storage fees."
Lu Feng turned around and asked Du Qifeng in a low voice: "How much goods?"
"Five to sixty thousand yuan, pure product cost price."
"Since there is no problem with that batch of goods, I gave them to the supervision bureau and the court as a summer gift. It can be regarded as a small token of our gratitude." Lu Feng said very politely. He knew that if he wanted to get this batch of goods back, there would be no storage fees or any fees for leaving the warehouse.
The fee for the concierge is too expensive.
"Since today is a mediation, I hope the two parties can shake hands and make peace. You go to the court door and take a look. There are two words in front of it, which say people. This is not a place for you to pile up cases. How about both parties withdraw the lawsuit?"
"On behalf of all the shareholders of Jiamei Food, I say that we have no problem." Lu Feng said.
"what about you?"
"We still think we should watch Mr. Lu's performance for a while first."
"You still think he copied your product, right?" A judge took out a stack of information from the side and handed it over and said: "This is the ingredients list of both parties' products, ingredient proportions, detailed product structure analysis, packaging, marketing, etc.
Based on a series of comprehensive results, the results are not consistent with infringement."
"Why didn't you reject the appeal before it was infringement? You know everything?" Zhang Fengxia couldn't help shouting.
"Shut up!" Lu Feng scolded her, then turned around and said, "This little girl has never seen much of the world, so I am making everyone laugh."
This information was shown to everyone, but no one said anything at the scene. The two products just tasted very similar. In Lu Feng's last life, he didn't look at the ingredients list when drinking drinks. He just remembered the taste and experimented a little bit.
Lu Feng turned around and said to a manager next to him: "Take her out."
Zhang Fengxia looked unhappy and walked out with a bit of a young lady temper.
In two hours, many details were discussed. The two parties also read the settlement letter several times. They also signed a letter of understanding regarding the disputes between them. This matter was officially over.
Wahaha's product manager came back and moved half of the laboratory over at the same time. There were a lot of bottles and cans on site, and many people stood and watched.
Lu Feng joked: "What I want to show you next is the core secret of Jiamei Food, our entire process of product development."
"Mr. Lu can now openly bring this matter to light. I just want to open my eyes. I didn't expect that you can actually get the data and ingredient list of my new product. It seems that I will investigate it carefully when I go back.
Product R&D department." Mr. Zong glanced at Gao Zhiwei as he spoke.
"The judge just said that there is no plagiarism. Since you have signed the settlement agreement, don't talk nonsense." Gao Zhiwei said.
"Mr. Gao is really majestic. I really saw you right back then!"
"Thank you, Mr. Zong, for your cultivation."
The two of them went back and forth, and their words became more and more tit-for-tat. He just doubted what Gao Zhiwei had done with helping Jiamei Food. Gao Zhiwei was an old employee of Wahaha and knew too many people.
"Okay, stop arguing!" Lu Feng interrupted the conversation between the two and said to Wahaha's product manager: "Add some orange juice, add thickener, add orange yellow agent, add saccharin, add some sourness, and finally
Some fruit bits for a change!"
The product manager looked at the thing in his hand, regardless of the taste, color, or the floating state of the fruit pieces, which was exactly the same as their new product.
But the ingredients are completely different from them!
Zong Zong and others were dumbfounded. This was a bit too mysterious. Du Qifeng and others were even more dumbfounded. They knew better than anyone else that they did not plagiarize, and they did not spend money to buy the formula or anything.
The senior management in the factory had been spreading rumors that the product development of Jiamei Food was like a child's play house. It all depended on Mr. Lu's taste test. If Mr. Lu thought it tasted good, the product would be a big seller.
Product research and development is the highest level of confidentiality. Even Johnnie To and Gao Zhiwei rarely have contact with it. However, the scene now displayed in front of everyone is really shocking.
He supports a R&D team by himself?
"Let me have a taste!" Lu Feng took the test tube, took a sip, smashed it in his mouth and said, "It's sour, adjust it again, don't use saccharin, it doesn't taste good, add cane sugar, it will be less sour!"
After re-adjusting, Lu Feng tasted it and nodded. The other product manager took a sip and shouted: "Damn, that's what it tastes like."
The new product has been lined up on the production line and will be mass-produced and launched in August. Everyone present has drank it. After Lu Feng debugged it, they all stopped talking.
Only two judges frowned and said: "Shouldn't it be full of fresh orange juice? I bought it at home. The package advertises fresh orange juice. Why are there so many additives?"
"That's propaganda. If you look for it on the packaging, you'll definitely find a disclaimer. It's written in small letters. The actual product shall prevail." Lu Feng explained.
"Are they all chemicals?" The judge couldn't help shouting, "You're a profiteer!"
As soon as these words came out, both Wahaha and Jiamei Foods uniformly lowered their heads and coughed, and other court staff also whispered reminders.
"Zong Zong still thinks that I copied you? Then I have to show you my skills!" Lu Feng smiled confidently and said: "Are you interested in milk drinks? I will make you a milk drink."
"Throw in water, sugar, milk powder, thickener, flavoring, maltol, acesulfame potassium, and various vitamins." Lu Feng prepared seventeen tubes, tried it, and mixed one of the tubes.
I mixed a little more of this recipe for everyone to drink.
After finishing the drink, Mr. Zong's eyes gleamed and he looked at Lu Feng with wide eyes, wishing to snatch him back. This man was really terrifying. One person was faster than an experimental team.
What's this?
This is fucking genius!
The product manager sat down on the chair with dull eyes. He always felt that as the largest beverage factory, he must be the best product manager in the country. He had the best team and could make the best products.
But he seemed so vulnerable in front of Lu Feng.
Lu Feng could tell that they were attracted by this product. In fact, this product was theirs. It was the Nutrition Express launched by Wahaha in 2005. The reason why Lu Feng did not let Jiamei Foods produce it was because the cost was too high and the sales were too high.
If it’s expensive, no one will buy it.
"Do you still think I'm copying you?" Lu Feng chuckled and said, "As long as I am willing, I can make a lot of products in a few days."
This is so crazy. There is no one crazier than him. Not to mention the people from Wahaha, Johnnie To looks at Lu Feng as if he were looking at a monster.
They couldn't imagine that one person could debug so many products in a short period of time. Lu Feng didn't know the ingredients, he just knew how to drink. The only thing they could think of was that Lu Feng had drank a lot of drinks before.
"It seems it was indeed a misunderstanding!" Mr. Zong said, looking at the test tube in his hand.
"If you want to get the product you have, let me tell you, the cost is too high and you won't be able to sell it." Lu Feng looked at Mr. Zong and said, "Now that we have reconciled, can we talk about cooperation next?"
Mr. Zong has always looked down on Jiamei Foods. He has never met Lu Feng before. There are many rumors that he is a second generation person with a lot of resources behind him. Later, loans and subsidies from all over the country have further verified his views.
However, the methods Lu Feng showed today made him look a little suspicious. Such efficient product development is enough for Jiamei Food to occupy the market. However, Lu Feng did not rush to the market, which is to keep his hands off.
"We can talk, there's nothing we can't talk about. I'm also very interested in the northern market."
"It's almost noon, let's chat while eating. From now on, our relationship will be both cooperation and competition." Lu Feng looked at him and said.
"Mr. Lu, you should be more careful in the future. Maybe I will annex you at some point."
"Annexing me? Mr. Zong, your main opponent is not me, especially after next year, I probably won't care anymore." Lu Feng pointed at Du Qifeng and Gao Zhiwei and said: "Your opponents are them. As for me,
I still won’t play with you anymore.”
Lu Feng said this politely, but the implication was very clear. You are not worthy of fighting with me!
