Chapter 456: The Eyes Are Dazzled by the Chaotic Flowers

"Approaching the end of the year, there haven't been any big movements in the country!"

Ren Yuefeng said to Li Dongling. At this time, major industries and companies in the country were basically busy. Plus, the New Year period is the biggest consumption period of the year. Peers are all busy selling goods and don't have time to tear each other apart.

"Dongling High-Tech has implemented some new regulations and systems internally, which will be officially implemented starting next year!"

As the general manager of Dongling High-Tech, Ren Yuefeng is not an empty shell but has great authority. The management system that Dongling High-Tech is currently running was built by Ren Yuefeng single-handedly.

Now implementing information management is also led by Ren Yuefeng. Of course, no matter where it is, every change in rules will produce changes in power.

If you can't keep up with this kind of change in Dongling High-Tech, not to mention being eliminated, you will definitely be marginalized. This is an unavoidable thing.

After this time, Dongling High-Tech's management will definitely have some new changes. There will be some new faces, and some "old people" will be transferred to cold-bench departments or sent down to local departments. Perhaps the so-called "manager faction" will have more power within Dongling High-Tech.

But regardless of whether there is selfishness or not, Ren Yuefeng's implementation of electronic management to bring Dongling High-Tech into modern office and management is absolutely correct. Li Dongling couldn't oppose it, but instead had to support Ren Yuefeng.

"There is one more thing," at this time, Gao Zhiyuan, who had always been reticent, suddenly spoke. "The legal department here, together with Shenzhou Storage company, has investigated and obtained a list of companies in the country that infringed on the Shenzhou U-disk patent and the evidence!"

Gao Zhiyuan has always been very low-key within Dongling High-Tech. He is the biological brother of Gao Peng, who is in charge of Dongling High-Tech's logistics department. The Gao family's influence in Pingyang has therefore been continuously increasing.

Gao Peng is in charge of Dongling High-Tech's logistics department, and Gao Zhiyuan is in charge of the legal department. With Dongling High-Tech's influence in Pingyang, the Gao family naturally rose with the tide.

But precisely because of the relationship between Gao Peng and Gao Zhiyuan, the rumors and gossip surrounding the two have almost never stopped. This is also the reason why Gao Zhiyuan acts low-key.

Of course, no matter how much gossip there is, whether it's Gao Peng or Gao Zhiyuan, the main reason they can sit firmly in their current positions is Li Dongling's support. Because the biggest reliance of their positions is the trust of the company's founder. Without Li Dongling's support, they would definitely not be able to sit securely in their current positions!

Although Gao Zhiyuan acts low-key, his legal ability is acceptable. Most importantly, he will not hide any inside information from Li Dongling to cause trouble. This is also particularly important for Li Dongling. Legal matters are highly professional. If they cause trouble, ordinary people really can't see it. It must be watched by a trusted aide.

Gao Zhiyuan, for Li Dongling, plays this role. His ability may not be the top-notch, but he must not hide anything from Li Dongling and can avoid Li Dongling falling into trouble with contracts and some documents!

But Gao Zhiyuan also wants to accomplish some things. This U-disk patent infringement case is what he wants to make a big splash with!

Ren Yuefeng and Hu Zixian heard this, and their gazes also looked toward Li Dongling. Patent lawsuits in the country now, although they have been fought, haven't produced any cases that shook the industry.

Regarding patents, the country hasn't formed a consensus yet, and they aren't very valued. Whether it's between tech companies or social public opinion, the concept of "copycat" and "patent infringement" is still stuck at just "borrowing" a little bit. There are even those who advocate for copycats because copycat goods are cheap...

As for the companies whose patents were infringed and products were copied, not many people care about how much capital, resources, manpower, and time they spent researching and developing the products and patents.

Some public opinion even thinks it's just "making a mountain out of a molehill." Including the lawsuit between Dongling High-Tech's Silver Mink mouse and Microsoft before, the number of people in the country who hold this kind of argument is actually not small.

If Shenzhou U-disk sues, it might become the most high-profile lawsuit in the domestic tech industry. As soon as it starts, it might explode public opinion.

"After the New Year, start the lawsuit!"

Li Dongling said directly. In fact, over the past few years, the number of products and patents of Dongling High-Tech that have been copied and infringed is unknown.

Counting from the earliest Stargazing satellite dish, then from electronic pet machines, to Shenzhou digital cordless phones, Feiyan mini radios, Little Smart, to Shenzhou U-disks, there is a considerable group of companies in the country that make a living by copying Dongling High-Tech products. As for patent fees, of course, they haven't paid a penny to Dongling High-Tech.

This wave of lawsuits can also serve as a warning to others, making those copycat factories restrain themselves a bit in the future.

"Since we are going to sue, then we should target the biggest one to achieve the effect of killing the chicken to warn the monkey. Strike a punch to avoid a hundred punches!"

Ren Yuefeng, Hu Zixian, Chen Tao, and others heard this and naturally understood which company Li Dongling was referring to. Among the companies selling U-disks in the country now, aside from Lenovo, who else could it be?

Plus, Lenovo previously secretly created a National Computer Developer Association but kept Dongling High-Tech out. Who this was targeting is almost self-evident.

This wave, taking advantage of the U-disk patent lawsuit, naturally has to be returned. If they don't fight back and don't let other companies know the consequences of provoking Dongling High-Tech, wouldn't anyone be able to point fingers at Dongling High-Tech in the future?

"Aside from suing companies that infringed on Shenzhou U-disk patents in the country, we should also unite with the remaining companies in the U-disk alliance—Toshiba, IBM, Philips, and PNY—to jointly sue companies that infringed on Shenzhou U-disk patents!

In Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, old Europe, America, and other places, we must also start lawsuits simultaneously. In addition, unite with companies like IBM to demand that local areas suspend the sale of these infringing companies' products!"

Li Dongling said this with murderous intent. The auditorium of the Dongling High-Tech Electronic Industrial Park was currently heated, plus it was full of people. It was icy and snowy outside, and warm as spring inside. But at this moment, hearing Li Dongling's words, Ren Yuefeng and the others felt a chill in their hearts.

According to the agreement signed by Shenzhou U-disk with Toshiba, IBM, and four other companies, the five companies formed a global U-disk alliance, advancing and retreating together in the U-disk industry, and wanting to target companies that infringed on U-disk patents together. Now that the time has come for them to fulfill their contract, this is not just for Shenzhou U-disk, but also for their own interests!

If they only fought the lawsuit in the country, this lawsuit might turn into a boring soap opera, and there might be no result for several years. Even if the lawsuit was won in the end, it might only be a painless fine of several hundred thousand.

When they can't open the situation in the country, firing guns overseas might have completely different effects. If a certain brand of computer is implicated because of the U-disk patent case, and as a result, it is sued in Hong Kong, Siam, and other places, and even the computer is banned from sale, or even a huge fine is issued, what will happen when the news spreads back to the country?

And what will happen if companies like Toshiba and IBM stop supplying computer parts to this company?

When the overseas market might be lost, the path to going overseas is completely broken, and the stock price plummets, then whether this company will refuse to admit defeat or admit defeat at the speed of light, Li Dongling doesn't know...

Ren Yuefeng felt that if the U-disk patent lawsuit could make a certain brand of computer completely admit defeat and pay a huge compensation, then it could indeed achieve the level of killing the chicken to warn the monkey, and other copycat manufacturers would have to weigh the consequences.

"It's just that if we make such a big fuss, isn't the movement too big? After all, they are both domestic brands."

Ren Yuefeng thought for a long time and said. This kind of movement, taking such a heavy hand against a domestic company, will definitely cause criticism. The underworld is not just about fighting and killing; there is also human sentiment. At that time, Ren Yuefeng didn't know how many units and personnel would plead for that company. If Dongling High-Tech insisted on taking a heavy hand, it might offend many people.

"Do you treat the other party as a comrade, and will the other party treat Dongling High-Tech as a comrade?"

Li Dongling glanced at Ren Yuefeng and asked. Ren Yuefeng was surprised for a moment, then thought of the Computer Developer Association, and felt a chill in his heart.

He suddenly thought, what if that computer brand didn't treat Dongling High-Tech as an ordinary opponent, but as a mortal enemy? The other party was already taking a heavy hand, and he was still indecisive. Then they might suffer a big loss in the end.

"Very happy to see many familiar faces again this year!"

After the annual meeting started, after the host went down, Li Dongling was invited to the stage. This is an annual convention. Last year, Li Dongling was here, and what he said was: the bragging he did that year, Dongling High-Tech has achieved!

"Before, I made promises here on behalf of Dongling High-Tech's management. Some have been achieved, and some have not yet been achieved!

Employee community housing has now begun to be delivered. The Kirin Scholarship has covered the children of all Dongling High-Tech staff. The childcare centers, kindergartens, and primary schools that Dongling High-Tech is cooperating with the Hanxi education department are being promoted. Next year, the first batch of children of Dongling High-Tech staff in Hanxi province will be able to enroll..."

Every time Li Dongling said a word, a huge round of applause erupted below, because what Li Dongling said, they all saw, and it was truly achieved.

Now Dongling High-Tech staff are very young on average. Many of them are about to face, or have just gotten married and had children. The childcare centers, kindergartens, and primary schools established by Dongling High-Tech and the Hanxi education department are truly needed by these staff families.

To tell the truth, the cost of establishing childcare centers is actually not high, and it is shared equally by the Dongling High-Tech logistics department and the staff, but it can solve big problems for many people.

By the time the problem of difficulty in attending school appears in the future, these benefits of Dongling High-Tech are estimated to be the reason why countless people join Dongling High-Tech, and can attract a lot of talent for Dongling High-Tech.

"But the chaotic flowers dazzle the eyes, and the shallow grass can't even submerge the horse's hooves. For Dongling High-Tech, the future is not worry-free!

This year, when I accepted a media interview, I said that Dongling High-Tech is not far from falling. This sentence is still valid..." ===== CHAPTER 457 =====
