Chapter 470: With the Force of a Thunderbolt

Now Guangwei's use of Japan's Toray carbon cloth is strictly restricted, and there are even personnel sent by Toray to supervise the use and usage of the carbon cloth.

But Guangwei has finally come into contact with carbon fiber materials and can conduct research and development on these carbon cloths, although these carbon cloths are not considered the top-tier in the industry.

"It is still under research and development. Japan's Toray and several other companies that possess carbon cloth technology guard their technology and craftsmanship very tightly. Wanting to reverse-engineer it is not so easy!" Chen Guangwei said.

Hearing Chen Guangwei's words, Li Dongling was silent for a moment, but still said to him, "Regardless, for carbon cloth research and development, Guangwei Company must do its utmost!"

Li Dongling didn't urge Chen Guangwei anything. With Chen Guangwei's character of not wanting to be behind others, he was truly risking his life in this regard.

The personnel sent by Dongling High-Tech to be responsible for auditing Guangwei's financial accounts also wrote in the report to the headquarters that in order to research carbon cloth technology, Chen Guangwei almost smashed his old bottom into it.

Letting Guangwei be the designated fishing gear for the fishing competitive competition was also to increase Guangwei's revenue.

Researching carbon cloth is very money-burning, and it may continue to burn for many years. It is not to say that it can be researched in a short while. In his previous life, Guangwei also spent several years of light, and the money was almost burned out before it was researched. If it were a step later, whether the company still existed, he was afraid it was hard to say.

Relying on smashing money, he didn't know until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse. If Guangwei's outdoor products could develop, it could increase some revenue, then the money Dongling High-Tech invested could be a few points less.

As for how much money can be earned after carbon fiber is researched, for Dongling High-Tech, it is only one aspect. More importantly, with these technologies, there is no need to be controlled by others in the future.

Even, holding the patent for carbon fiber composite materials, in industries like mobile phones, cars, drones, etc., who knows, it might be able to disgust the opponent!

Some things, if Dongling High-Tech has them, then there may be nothing, but if Dongling High-Tech doesn't have them, then it may have to be pinched by others!

Hearing Li Dongling continue to support his research and development, Chen Guangwei breathed a sigh of relief. Now Guangwei Company has basically gone all-in on carbon cloth research and development. If Dongling High-Tech no longer supports Guangwei, then how long can Guangwei last? Chen Guangwei dared not imagine.

After the New Year, the entire Pingyang returned to the scene of previous years. Major engineering projects began to resume work, and countless migrant workers poured into Hanxi from within Hanxi Province and outside the province.

And in the electronic and electrical industry, because the New Year had just passed, major manufacturers had not released new products, and prices had not fluctuated too much, relatively in a "calm period" of the year.

But just at this time, a sudden piece of news broke this calm.

"Shenzhou Storage Company announced that it is suing over ten domestic cottage piracy companies, as well as companies that infringed on the Shenzhou U-disk patent!"

*Pingyang Daily* was the first to report this news, and subsequently, media outlets like *Hanxi Provincial Daily*, *Guangzhou Daily*, and *Yanjing Business News* reprinted and published this news.

Upon seeing this news, although the technology industry was surprised, it didn't have much of a reaction. This kind of lawsuit appears every year in the country, and in the end, it is all thunder and little rain, and slowly no one cares.

Now there are not a few companies that cottage Shenzhou U-disks, and as for those that infringe on U-disk patents, there are even more. Shenzhou Storage, the parent company of Shenzhou U-disk, is dissatisfied and stands up to roar a few times, and all parties understand.

But to say that Shenzhou Storage can change this situation, a group of people in the technology industry, in reality, don't believe it so much.

"What is Shenzhou Storage trying to do? It sued ten companies in one breath!"

On the Tianya website, at this moment, posts about Shenzhou Storage also appeared in Tianya Tianya Zatan. The dissemination attribute of the Internet was reflected at this time. When traditional media were still watching, it was already hotly discussed on Tianya Net.

Not only Shenzhou Storage, as long as it is hot news, there are people discussing it in the Tianya Tianya Zatan section. Many users who registered for Tianya Net also like to run here to spam, and even treat this place as a place to understand various latest reports.

Even some news is faster than traditional media, and plus the scale of the Internet now, various "inside" news are rampant. Various news interpretations, inside news, etc., are much more exciting for the melon-eating masses on Tianya Net than traditional newspapers.

"Latest news, it is fifteen companies, and they invited multiple departments like the Industry and Commerce Bureau and the Customs Administration to assist in the investigation."

"In Guangzhou, the Customs Administration has already detained a batch of cottage Shenzhou U-disks exported to Hong Kong, worth over 1.5 million. This time Shenzhou Storage might be coming for real!"

Another post popped up in Tianya Tianya Zatan. Clearly, the person who sent this post had some status, at least having some relationship with the Customs Administration. These news traditional media hadn't reported yet.

As soon as this post came out, the screen became lively in an instant, and more than a dozen replies popped up in an instant, asking if the news was true, which shows how many melon-eating masses there are.

"I feel that this time Shenzhou Storage is a bit suspicious. It is very likely that the drunkard's heart is not in the wine. I just looked at the list of lawsuits, and one of the companies is very special!"

While the discussion was lively, another post appeared, and it was a long-winded post.

People familiar with the person who released this post knew that the account name "Jianghu Baixiaosheng" had once claimed to be a person from an overseas public relations company working in the country, released some "inside" posts about companies, and analyzed the relationship between some companies.

For these posts, those who have read them, some believe they are true and are quite convinced by the content of this account, while others think it is just playing mystery.

And today, the person who wore the account name "Jianghu Baixiaosheng" began to analyze Shenzhou Storage's actions.

"In this list of lawsuits from Shenzhou Storage, aside from cottage U-disk manufacturers, the most important ones are Luwen U-disk, Star Island, Aigo, Acer, and Lenovo. These are companies that infringed on U-disk patents."

"If it were just to crack down on cottage, Shenzhou Storage shouldn't have made such a big move. In the public relations company where I work, I received some news. Shenzhou Storage and its parent company Dongling High-Tech have actions in Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia. This time, Shenzhou Storage is more like targeting the companies that infringed on U-disk patents!"

As soon as this post came out, it made the Tianya Tianya Zatan section quiet for a while. It took a full minute before posts started to pop up again.

"This is too conspiracy-theory. You mean Shenzhou Storage is going to war with Aigo and Lenovo just for a U-disk? How is this possible?"

"U-disk is one of the most profitable products in the electronics industry now, not to mention the relationship between Lenovo and Dongling High-Tech is not good!"

Another person in the electronics industry stood out at this time, mentioning companies like Founder and Lenovo, and that the relationship with Dongling High-Tech was not good. The entire domestic technology industry had heard about this more or less.

For a time, the post sent by the account "Jianghu Baixiaosheng" started arguing again, and some thought this post was purely playing mystery, too conspiracy-theory, and attracting attention.

And some believed the content of the post, shouting that there would be a show to watch this time, but most were just eating melons.

"If it is indeed as I expected, I believe that it won't be long, at most within this month, there will be more news, and it will be news far beyond the outside world's imagination!"

After leaving this post, the person with this account clearly went invisible, but the controversy caused did not subside.

And just after traditional media reported the news of Shenzhou Storage, there was no follow-up. When Tianya Tianya Zatan also started to shift its heat to other news after arguing for a day or two, suddenly there was news related to Shenzhou Storage and Shenzhou U-disk again. This time, once it started, it didn't stop again!

"Guangzhou Customs Administration recently detained a batch of cottage Shenzhou U-disks with a huge amount!"

*Guangzhou Daily* suddenly released a piece of news, making Tianya Net quiet for a while. This news showed that the person who broke the news on Tianya Net before didn't fool people.

"The Hanxi Police Department and the Guangdong Police Department took joint action to destroy three manufacturers producing counterfeit and shoddy cottage U-disks, arrested 34 people organizing cottage manufacturers, and sealed over 100,000 cottage U-disks, with the case involving funds exceeding 20 million!"

"The Hanxi Police Department, together with the Industry and Commerce, Taxation, and other seven departments, jointly fined and banned cottage U-disk sellers in the province!"

On the TV screens of Hanxi, Guangdong, and other places, scenes of the police entering the cottage factory buildings appeared. When this news appeared, for the technology industry, it was not less than a huge shock.

Inside the technology industry, regardless of whether it was electronics or electrical appliances, they had suffered from cottage manufacturers for a long time, but they had no way. This time, Shenzhou Storage seemed to be doing something big.

But immediately following that, the news that broke again, along with the actions of Shenzhou Storage, left the entire domestic tech industry in an uproar.

"Shenzhou Storage announced that it requires companies that infringed on Shenzhou U-disk to immediately stop infringing on U-disk patents, and apologize publicly in the newspaper, and additionally compensate for corresponding losses!"

Reaching this step, anyone could see who Shenzhou Storage was aiming at this time; it was almost naming names!

After releasing the statement, before companies like Luwen U-disk, Aigo, and Lenovo had time to react, that night, a piece of news came from Hong Kong, exploding in the entire domestic technology industry.

"TVB latest news, Shenzhou U-disk agent, Hong Kong Ning's Trading Company, announced that it is suing companies like Lenovo in the Hong Kong court."

"Ning's Trading claimed that according to the evidence it has already mastered, a certain computer manufacturer used the infringed Shenzhou U-disk patent to promote its computers, seriously infringing on its revenue, and requested to temporarily ban the sale of the Lenovo computer brand in Hong Kong."

"One of the three major chain electrical appliance malls in Hong Kong, Wanjia Electrical Appliance City, has fully removed Lenovo brand computers tonight!"

"Singapore *Lianhe Zaobao* news, the Singapore court received a lawsuit request to ban a certain brand of computers!"

"Sources in Siam, Vietnam, Malaysia, and other places claimed that they also received lawsuits against the Lenovo computer brand, and many computer retailers, due to external pressure, have announced the suspension of the sale of a certain brand of computers in the local area!"

And just in the evening, while the domestic technology industry was still digesting the news densely transmitted from overseas, several more pieces of news came out, making the domestic technology industry feel a bit numb.

"American technology manufacturer IBM announced the suspension of patent authorization and parts sales for a certain brand of computers!"

"Japan's Toshiba announced that due to some reasons, starting next month, it will suspend the provision of parts like memory sticks to a certain computer manufacturer in the mainland!"

"International manufacturers like Philips and PNY also indicated that because their countries received lawsuits against Lenovo computers, they suspended their cooperation projects with certain companies!" ===== CHAPTER 471 =====
