Chapter 393: Not Returning is Not Polite

The Computer Developer Association, under the promotion of a group of companies like Founder and Lenovo, was soon declared established. Currently, a group of domestic computer manufacturers, including Great Wall, Seenda, Langchao, Tongfang, and other computer manufacturers, as well as zero computer parts manufacturers, had successively joined the Computer Developer Association.

Of course, this also included Founder. The threshold for applying to enter was not high. As the proposers of the Computer Developer Association, Lenovo and Founder gave the reason for forming the association as being for the better development of the domestic computer industry and entering the ranks of world-class computers.

In addition, companies like computers also claimed that the formation of the Computer Developer Association could negotiate with overseas computer hardware and software companies like Intel, IBM, Microsoft, Toshiba, Samsung, Sony, etc., so that the domestic computer industry would not be a big head again.

This reason given was indeed grand. Lenovo clearly wanted to be the leader of the domestic computer industry.

But other companies entering the Computer Developer Association were not blocked, only Dongling High-Tech's proposal to join the Computer Developer Association was rejected!

As for the Computer Developer Association council composed mainly of Lenovo and Founder, they didn't give a reason for the rejection, but they just refused to let Dongling High-Tech join the Computer Developer Association.

This almost directly stood on the opposite side of Dongling High-Tech. Various computer manufacturers also reacted that Lenovo and Founder forming the Computer Developer Association was aimed at whom!

Lenovo and Dongling High-Tech didn't have much interaction before. The only bond was probably that after Ni Guangnan left Lenovo, he joined Dongxin Semiconductor under Dongling High-Tech to develop domestic computer chips for Dongxin Semiconductor.

This made Lenovo bear the infamy. Many media reported that it was Boss Liu who couldn't tolerate Ni Guangnan, and Dongxin Semiconductor's development of domestic computer chips also swept Boss Liu's face.

After all, he had always disagreed with self-developed chips, claiming that domestic computer chips couldn't be developed, and even if they were developed, they wouldn't be as good as the chips of companies like Intel and IBM, and it would be better to buy them...

If Dongxin Semiconductor really made domestic chips, then Boss Liu would be disgraced, which naturally made him dissatisfied.

And not letting Dongling High-Tech enter the Computer Developer Association had another voice appearing. Lenovo claimed that this was for the sake of other domestic computer brands.

Just based on the influence and popularity of Shenzhou under Dongling High-Tech now, plus Dongling High-Tech's technology, R&D strength, and funds, if Dongling High-Tech entered the computer industry, what would happen to other domestic computer brands?

Lenovo was protecting other domestic computer brands. This kind of voice didn't know who spread it, but it had a trend of bringing the domestic computer industry to the opposite side of Dongling High-Tech, as if Dongling High-Tech had become a villain in the computer industry, making Dongling High-Tech, which hadn't really launched a computer brand yet, stand on the opposite side of the domestic computer industry.

Regarding this point, Ren Yuefeng was of course very dissatisfied. Boss Liu's move, regardless of how harmful it was, was indeed annoying.

In the future, when Dongxin Semiconductor launched domestic computer chips, if the Computer Developer Association made trouble in the middle and didn't let domestic computer manufacturers procure them, then Dongxin Semiconductor would probably lose a large batch of orders.

As an emerging computer chip developer, if domestic computer companies didn't procure them, then Dongxin Semiconductor's path would be much harder to walk. Not to mention touching the tiger's whiskers of Intel, whether it could survive was probably a problem.

Many computer companies now held an attitude of watching the show, watching Lenovo form the Computer Developer Association to fight with Dongling High-Tech.

The biggest impact of this matter on Dongling High-Tech was that many domestic peers began to treat Dongling High-Tech as an opponent, which was the most uncomfortable thing for Ren Yuefeng and Dongling High-Tech senior executives.

Zhang Yufeng saw Ren Yuefeng's expression, which carried a bit of playfulness, and said to Li Dongling, "Brother Li, if Boss Liu is determined not to let Dongling High-Tech enter the Computer Developer Association, I don't know what plans Dongling High-Tech has?"

"Isn't there still Brother Zhang here? With Founder Group, Dongling High-Tech is not fighting alone in the computer industry!"

Li Dongling said to Zhang Yufeng with a smile. Hearing this, Zhang Yufeng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and laughed a few times.

Regarding the Computer Developer Association formed by Boss Liu and Duan Yongji, although it was annoying, Li Dongling didn't fear anything.

Gathering by profit, it must disperse by profit. The Computer Developer Association looked grand, and Boss Liu wanted to integrate the entire computer industry to snipe Dongling High-Tech, which was not wrong, but too many computer manufacturers joined, which instead became a flaw.

So many peers also had competition among themselves. It was impossible for them not to make money and just fight with Dongling High-Tech. As long as they could seize an opportunity to make them have internal strife, the entire Computer Developer Association could basically fall apart.

"However, Brother Li, still be careful. Founder is willing to be Dongling High-Tech's ally in the computer industry, but it cannot be the opponent of the entire domestic computer industry, being pointed at by thousands of people!"

Zhang Yufeng stated his position. As the leader of Founder, he was willing to support Dongling High-Tech, but he couldn't disregard everything and risk huge losses to support Dongling High-Tech.

"Not returning is not polite. Boss Liu sent a big gift to Dongling High-Tech. If Dongling High-Tech doesn't return the gift, it would be a bit unreasonable!"

Li Dongling tasted a bite of food and said to Ren Yuefeng lightly, but Zhang Yufeng, Yu Minhong, Qiu Bojun, Lei Jun, and others felt that these words were murderous.

"I heard from the marketing department that there are many U-disk brands in the country now that haven't obtained Shenzhou storage patent authorization, selling shoddily made U-disks to users at low prices. Manager Ren, I think this matter needs to be managed. We can't let user interests be damaged by those counterfeit and pirated U-disks!"

Honestly, the most important thing for a U-disk is creativity and patents. Dongling High-Tech just broke that layer of paper and launched the U-disk.

If they didn't care about U-disk patents and imported flash memory particles from manufacturers like Toshiba, then a large batch of manufacturers could develop U-disks. It was just that the size of the U-disk memory and quality were different.

The most important difference was that those with Shenzhou storage patent authorization were called genuine U-disks and could be sold openly without anyone finding trouble. Those that hadn't been authorized by Shenzhou storage were called counterfeit goods. Whether to sue or not depended entirely on Shenzhou storage's mood...

In the country, there are now many U-disk brands that haven't been authorized by Shenzhou storage. After testing and finding that Shenzhou storage "seems" not to care much about them, many U-disk brands have emerged now, including famous ones like Patriot, SanDisk, Star Island, Luwen Easy Disk, Lenovo, etc.

These domestic U-disk brands haven't obtained Shenzhou storage patent authorization, and the selling price is lower than Shenzhou U-disks, and the sales are quite good now.

Especially Lenovo, which sells U-disks together with their own computers, is selling them flying.

Hearing Li Dongling's words, everyone on the scene couldn't hear the meaning in Li Dongling's words. It was to use the U-disk patents in his hands to clean up those counterfeit U-disk manufacturers.

Domestic attention to counterfeiting is not very tight now, and sometimes there is no clear dividing line. Sometimes fighting a lawsuit, I don't know how long it will be dragged out, and in the end, it will end up with nothing.

But it doesn't mean that no one can clean up those counterfeit companies. It just depends on how much price they are willing to pay. And if counterfeit goods affect foreign exchange income, then they will be even more unlucky!

Ren Yuefeng's expression changed several times. He knew that once they took action, from then on, Dongling High-Tech and companies like Lenovo and Founder would completely become dead enemies, and there would be no possibility of easing.

However, thinking that Lenovo was targeting Dongling High-Tech as a dead opponent now, if he was soft-hearted at this time, that would be womanly benevolence!

"I understand. Counterfeit U-disks really need to be handled. We can't let these shoddily made counterfeit goods circulate overseas. Otherwise, it will affect the reputation and image of domestic U-disks overseas, and will also affect the income of domestic U-disks overseas. We must punish them severely!" Ren Yuefeng said in a deep voice.

Zhang Yufeng opened his mouth. He could hear that Dongling High-Tech was prepared to take a heavy hand this time to clean up the counterfeit U-disk company, or rather, to use the name to specifically clean up a certain company and give the other side a lesson!

But after opening his mouth, Zhang Yufeng closed his mouth again. It was useless for him to say more at this time, and it might make him not a person inside or outside. It was better to watch from the sidelines.

Li Dongling's eyes swept across the faces of several people at the dining table. He wasn't worried about news leaking out. Everyone on the scene was someone whose interests were tied to him and Dongling High-Tech. Changing doors to defect to Lenovo and offending Dongling High-Tech would bring them no benefits.

Besides, even if someone tipped off, it wouldn't affect anything. Dongling High-Tech was playing open and aboveboard. Unless Lenovo could really abandon the revenue brought by U-disks, this move was unsolvable.

And whether it was New Oriental, Founder, or Kingsoft, if they deviated from Dongling High-Tech, Dongling High-Tech could also take the opportunity to find the two-five boys. What Dongling High-Tech needed was a truly reliable ally, not a two-five boy who defected at a critical moment!

After a few rounds of wine, Li Dongling turned his head to look at Qiu Bojun and Lei Jun. "Dongling High-Tech has a new project here, hoping to cooperate with Kingsoft!"

Hearing this, Qiu Bojun didn't have a smile on his face, but a helpless bitter smile. "President Li, Kingsoft's personnel are almost not enough. Now we have to develop new WPS office software, and we also have to cooperate with Lingyun Technology to develop domestic printing software. The manpower is really too tight!"

"Developing office software is very money-burning and requires a lot of time. Kingsoft needs other business income to be able to support it!"

Li Dongling laughed. "Why not, Kingsoft establishes another office in Hanxi, enters the Hanxi Software Industrial Park, and cooperates with Dongling High-Tech to develop software projects!"
