The dinner at Huo Mansion did not have much impact on Li Jianhui. The business community in Xiangjiang was relatively calm for a period of time, especially compared to Li Jianhui and his company.
In order to complete the game development as soon as possible, the Wang Haichuan project team worked very hard throughout March. They had to work overtime until ten o'clock every night, and they did not even have holidays on weekends.
Also because of Wang Haichuan's leadership, the TV Game Affairs Department also worked overtime to promote the development and improvement of game platforms and game cards, striving to finalize them as soon as possible.
Li Jianhui has been quite relaxed during this period. He stays in the company every day to learn about the progress of game development and handle company affairs.
As for Xinyu Investment Company, he only understands the investment situation every day and does not interfere with specific investments at all.
If things continue to develop peacefully like this, Li Jianhui will also be happy to be free. But unfortunately, sometimes he doesn't want to look for trouble, but trouble comes to him.
He thought that after Little Bee was launched, Taitung would give up the development of Space Invaders. Unexpectedly, on April 1st, Taitung would launch this game.
You must know that the structure of this game is very similar to that of Little Bee, how could Li Jianhui be indifferent to it.
If Huihong Game Company does not take any action at this time, I am afraid that there will be countless similar versions of the company's games on the market soon.
For this reason, Li Jianhui specially held a high-level meeting and asked the Public Relations Department to cooperate with the Legal Department to file an appeal with the RB Tokyo District Court to sue Taitung for its infringement.
Li Jianhui actually doesn't care too much about the outcome. What he wants is the experience. Only in this way will those game companies dare not pirate Huihong Game Company's popular games casually.
As the manager of the legal department, Liu Wenjie finally felt that he had a role to play. For more than half a year, the legal department had only dealt with trivial matters and had not shown much ability at all.
This copyright lawsuit is an opportunity for their legal department to perform, and it is also a test for them. Whether they can take on big responsibilities in the future will depend on their results this time.
Zhou Jiayi will also go to RB this time, firstly to do a good job in the market public relations of Huihong Game Company, and secondly to do a good job in publicity so that ordinary people can seduce the side of Huihong Game Company and jointly condemn the shameless behavior of Taidong Company.
Li Jianhui, who had the upper hand, felt quite at ease. He did not feel guilty at all for being the plagiarist.
Now it is suing Taidong, not only asking the other party to immediately stop the sales of Space Invaders, but also demanding huge compensation for infringement fees.
If those who knew about this in his previous life would have scolded Li Jianhui for being extremely shameless and devoid of any face.
But in this world and this era, as soon as Huihong Game Company held a press conference, it was sympathized by countless righteous people.
Huihong Game Company is on the victim's side, and Taidong has become a plagiarist. Even if Taidong insists that Space Invaders is their own idea and has not plagiarized any works, it still cannot convince the public.
You must know that Huihong Game Company's Little Bee was already on sale on New Year's Day, while Taitong Space Invaders was only launched on April 1st. Who would believe that there is no plagiarism?
In particular, the major newspapers in Hong Kong have reported heavily on this matter. Some newspapers have even directly extended from Taitung Game Company to the RB government, questioning the RB government's indifference to copyright patents and allowing plagiarism products to be openly launched on the market.
Even the Hong Kong government expressed its views on this matter, and it was entirely from the standpoint of Huihong Games Company that it condemned companies that did not respect copyright.
The taxes Li Jianhui paid to Xiangjiang at the end of March were not in vain. As of the end of last year, Li Jianhui Huihong Gaming Company had paid a profit tax of HK$5.43 million, making a contribution to Xiangjiang. At this time, the higher-ups naturally had to stand up and speak for him.
In this era, the RB government is expanding its market around the world and attaches great importance to its own image and copyright patents.
The day after Huihong Game Company submitted its appeal, the RB Tokyo District Court officially accepted the case and announced a public hearing on Wednesday, the 6th.
In the conference room of Taidong Company, the faces of the company's executives were full of solemnity. They originally thought that Huihong Company was located in Hong Kong and did not have a strong sense of copyright. As a game company of RB, Huihong Company might not be able to pursue the possibility of space invaders.
Suspicions of piracy exist.
I didn't expect that the opponent would come so quickly, and the public opinion offensive was quite fierce. Not only in Xiangjiang, but also in RB, the public opinion was also unfavorable to Taidong.
Some extremists even believed that Taitong had disgraced the Yamato nation and asked them to close Taitung to apologize.
As the actual person in charge of the company, Taro Tagawa felt equally uncomfortable inside. He knew that if Taitong could not survive this time safely, he would become the lamb thrown out to apologize.
He calmed down his mood and said calmly: "Don't be affected by external public opinion. Our Space Invaders game structure concept was proposed two years ago. When Huihong Game Company was not established, we
The game structure already has a general framework.
We have not plagiarized anyone's ideas or works, so you don't need to worry or blame yourself for this. I believe that all walks of life will treat us Taidong fairly."
It's a pity that those present are not as optimistic as Taro Tagawa. They know very well how much impact this will have on Taitong. Even if Taitong is ultimately determined not to infringe, it will still be a stain on Taitong.
In fact, after Little Bee was launched, there was a debate within Taitung Company. Some people proposed to abandon the game and focus their funds and energy on the development of new games.
It's a pity that Space Invaders proposed and the developers insisted on continuing to develop this game, and Taro Tagawa also supported it, so this game was able to be developed and put on the market.
It's just that RB Company has a strict hierarchy, and the senior executives present did not stand up to refute Taro Tagawa. They only hoped that Taitong could survive this time.
In the past few days, because Zhou Jiayi and the public relations department are behind the scenes, public opinion has continued to ferment, and more people have learned about the Little Bee product.
Taitong's Space Invaders has also become well-known to many people because of this public opinion. Many media and game fans have even made systematic comparisons between the two games in all aspects.
Even though Space Invaders was released four months later than Little Bee, there is still some gap between it and Little Bee in terms of playability.
This makes the outside world believe that Taitong is copying Huihong Game Company's ideas. If Taitong is original, it will be impossible to launch it on the market and still be unable to compare with Huihong Game Company's products.
Li Jianhui, who didn't have much to do in Xiangjiang, came to Tokyo in person on the 5th. As this was the first lawsuit for his industry, he wanted to witness it with his own eyes.
This is also an opportunity to accumulate experience. This is the first time for copyright and patent issues, but it will definitely not be the last. In the future, Huihong Game Company and even its other industries will encounter this problem many times, some even several times.
He has been litigating for decades.
Only by being familiar with this aspect and having a strong legal department team can you protect your own interests and develop your industry better.
