Chapter 469: The Spring Breeze in February is Like Scissors

"Now, for the several companies that infringed on the Shenzhou U-disk patent, the evidence has been obtained. It just depends on where to file the lawsuit!"

Legal Department General Manager Gao Zhiyuan of Dongling High-Tech opened his mouth to say.

This also had its own considerations. The reputation of "invincible in Long Gang, must-win in Nanshan, and never-falling in Haidian" came from the fact that Huawei, Tencent, and the later ByteDance basically never lost when suing in their respective territories.

Of course, now Dongling High-Tech also had such a buff stack. Suing in Hanxi, regardless of whether it was a domestic or foreign company, once they arrived on this piece of land in Hanxi, their chances of winning against Dongling High-Tech were estimated to be hanging.

But winning a lawsuit locally also faced a problem. If the other party was also a local snake, then wanting to make the other party suffer a major injury was not so easy.

It was very likely that the lawsuit was won, but not a single hair of the other party could be hurt. Then, in the end, the lawsuit might have been fought in vain, and compensation and apologies would be impossible to obtain.

Li Dongling thought for a moment, but still said, "File this lawsuit in Hanxi!"

Li Dongling was not for the sake of Dongling High-Tech's invincible reputation in legal affairs. It was mainly for the speed. If he filed a lawsuit in Yanjing, Guangzhou, etc., then some companies would lobby, and he didn't know how many people would speak for them.

He didn't know how long the lawsuit would be dragged out. Li Dongling wanted a quick decision and didn't want to drag it out for too long.

"Still according to the plan formulated before the New Year, file lawsuits and bans against companies that infringed on the Shenzhou U-disk patent in Hanxi, Hong Kong, Southeast Asia, old Europe, and other places simultaneously. Additionally, invite departments like the Customs Administration to intervene and seal those infringing products!"

Li Dongling's words made the several supervisors of the Legal Department show eager expressions. They clearly knew that Li Dongling was preparing to let go and let the Legal Department have a big fight.

Ren Yuefeng, Hu Zixian, Zhang Ao, and others were not surprised by this. Dongling High-Tech, which had just been established for how long back then, dared to hard-clash with Microsoft. Now, could it be afraid of SanDisk's domestic vest Star Island, Luwen U-disk, and those companies like Lenovo?

"To what extent should this lawsuit be fought?" Ren Yuefeng asked Li Dongling.

Dongling High-Tech was not afraid of fighting a lawsuit, but there were considerations about to what extent the lawsuit should be fought. Truly expecting that a single infringement lawsuit could pull down a company that held the banner of domestic computers but used foreign parts to assemble computers, with an annual revenue of over 8 billion RMB, was not realistic!

"The other party must admit to infringing on the Shenzhou U-disk patent and apologize to Shenzhou U-disk in the newspaper!"

"Additionally, they must no longer block Dongling High-Tech, Shenzhou U-disk, Dongfang Optoelectronics, Dongxin Semiconductor, etc., from joining associations related to computer equipment!"

Li Dongling said while tapping his fingers on the table. If he wanted to deal with a company that was mainly based on technology, it was not easy, to tell the truth. As long as the other party had technology, a temporary setback might make the other party uncomfortable, but as long as the technology was still there, they would sooner or later be able to recover.

And for some companies that relied on a tiger skin to bluff, once that skin was poked through, the high-tech halo shrouded on their bodies would be poked through. Carrying the names of plagiarism and cottage, how long could their tiger skin bluff people?

Perhaps once was not enough, but as long as there was a first time, the halo disappeared, which meant that their health bar started to light up, and sooner or later there would be a day of being "single-brushed" (destroyed)!

"Wanting to make those infringing companies pay compensation can be done, but wanting a public apology is probably not so easy!"

A senior executive of the Legal Department sitting on the side of Gao Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment, but still opened his mouth to say. No company would be willing to admit that it had cottage-ed another company's technology. Even if they lost the lawsuit, they would drag it out.

"Human effort is the key. This is also the purpose of inviting you to the Dongling High-Tech Legal Department!"

Li Dongling said to the several senior executives of the Legal Department. The salary Dongling High-Tech paid them was quite high, almost not much different from the annual income of partners in medium and large law firms. With such a high salary, it was not to listen to them say it couldn't be done.

"Whether it is a person or a company, when the price paid and the blood shed exceed the cost of admitting defeat and apologizing, which one will it choose?" Li Dongling said to everyone.

Gao Zhiyuan and others understood Li Dongling's meaning, which was to make the other party feel pain, make the loss difficult to bear, and make the other party choose that relatively lighter result—although it was not a good result—when they were willing to choose that relatively lighter result because they couldn't afford the price of not admitting defeat.

"Next Monday, Shenzhou U-disk will officially file a lawsuit against those companies that infringed on the patent!" Gao Zhiyuan said.

"The National Fishing Sports Association and the National Leisure Angling Association were officially established today!"

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, the invited reporters took photos on the side. On the day of the second day of the second lunar month, the "Dragon Raises Its Head," in front of a three-story building next to the Pingyang Civil Affairs Bureau unit, several signs were hung up.

Next to these two big signs, there were also signs of units under the General Administration of Sport, Civil Affairs, Agriculture, Culture and Propaganda Committee, and other units. Theoretically, these units could all manage the Fishing Association, but at the same time, with the endorsement of these departments and units, the Fishing Association would not overturn!

"Congratulations, Li Zong!"

When Li Dongling shook hands with people from sports, civil affairs, agriculture, and other units who came from Yanjing, a supervisor of the Yanjing Sports Bureau suddenly said to Li Dongling.

"I dare not accept it. Director Cheng's words are too early. The Council of the Fishing Association has not been established yet, and who can become the president is still unknown!" Li Dongling said.

Hearing Li Dongling's words, the people who came from Yanjing and the personnel of the Pingyang Municipal Government couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Although the Council of the Fishing Association had not been established yet, they knew Li Dongling's position as the president of the Fishing Association. Not to mention 100%, at least 98%, there would be no accidents. As for the remaining bit of accident, it had to be that Li Dongling suddenly lost interest in this thing and declined it himself.

You have to know that the National Fishing Association could be established so quickly, and it couldn't be separated from Li Dongling. If it weren't for Li Dongling's promotion, applying for the establishment of the Fishing Association, dragging it for another three to five years, it might not have been approved.

Looking at the various people in front of him, Li Dongling didn't know if these departments and units would be able to get along peacefully when facing the Fishing Association like today in a few years.

When they discovered that holding fishing competitions could make money, then he didn't know what the scene would be like.

The various fishing competitions in his previous life were endless, making people dazzled when watching them, and behind them were different departments supporting them.

Holding a fishing competition looks like the prize money is over a million, but the fishing competitions held are more and more every year, because it really makes money!

To participate in a fishing competition, you have to be a member of the Fishing Association, right? You have to pay membership fees every year, and you have to pay competition registration fees. Plus the advertisements that the competition makes for fishing gear and bait companies and other products, after a competition, the organizer earns at least a few million, and at most over ten million, so they naturally try their best to hold competitions.

Li Dongling would be the president of the Fishing Association for at most two or three years before he would abdicate. By then, the Fishing Association would become a place of fame and fortune, tearing each other apart for the division of competition prize money, and all kinds of dog-shit things would happen. Li Dongling didn't want to get involved in those messy things.

Today, the sign of the Fishing Association was erected. Not only were there personnel from sports, civil affairs, agriculture, and other departments, but also invited well-known figures in the fishing industry, including fishing gear companies, etc., to come to support. Later, a meeting to establish the Council would be held, and then the positions of president, chairman, etc., of the Fishing Association would be voted on.

And among them, there was also a fishing gear company that was invited, or rather, had long been scheduled to cooperate with the Fishing Association, coming as a sponsor—the Guangwei Company!

"Factory Director Chen!"

Li Dongling and Chen Guangwei, the factory director of Guangwei, came to an office of the Fishing Association. After closing the door, Li Dongling asked directly, "How is the research and development of Guangwei's new generation of fishing gear going?"

"After the Council of the Fishing Association votes, I will propose holding the first professional competitive fishing competition in the country. At that time, the proposal will choose Guangwei fishing gear as the designated fishing rod for the competition. This is an opportunity for Guangwei fishing gear!"

Now, compared with overseas brands like Shimano and Daiwa, Guangwei fishing gear's fame certainly couldn't compare.

As the president of the National Fishing Association, Li Dongling certainly had the right to designate which fishing gear to use as the designated fishing rod for the competitive fishing competition. Giving this opportunity to Guangwei was a double-edged sword for Guangwei.

If its fishing rod could stand the test, then it might soar into the sky through the professional competitive fishing competition, enter the mid-to-high-end fishing gear market, and thus enter the vision of countless anglers across the country.

And if Guangwei's fishing rod couldn't stand the test in the competition and broke the line or the rod in full view of everyone, then it wouldn't be famous, but would have taken a big dump, and he estimated that it would be difficult to turn over in the future.

Chen Guangwei also understood this truth. He rubbed his rough big hands and said in a deep voice, "The new generation of Guangwei carbon fiber fishing rods is currently under testing. I will hand over the samples to Mr. Li for use as soon as possible. Guangwei guarantees that it will not live up to Mr. Li's support!"

After saying this, Chen Guangwei hesitated for a moment, but still added, "But, now, Guangwei carbon fiber fishing rods still use carbon cloth from Japan's Toray!"

Nodding, Li Dongling was not surprised and asked about another thing, "What stage has the research and development of Guangwei's T300 carbon cloth reached?"

Now Dongling High-Tech is also one of the major shareholders of Guangwei. Before, Li Dongling invested over ten million in Guangwei and obtained 33% of Guangwei's equity.

Investing in Guangwei, besides being done by Li Dongling, the angler, on the spur of the moment, was also for carbon fiber technology.

Since investing in Guangwei, the Hanxi Joint Laboratory had been cooperating with Guangwei, always researching T300 carbon cloth technology. Li Dongling also used his relationship with Japan's Nippon Telegraph and Telephone to help Guangwei pull a relationship with Japan's Toray. ===== CHAPTER 470 =====
