Chapter 480: A Prophecy Fulfilled

~10 min read 1,998 words

Before the battle of the lawsuit between Shenzhou Storage and Lianxiang, companies in the technology industry didn't pay too much attention and didn't believe that Shenzhou Storage could win, or rather, it was impossible to win so easily.

Even those who expected Shenzhou Storage to win didn't expect that Lianxiang could lose so miserably, because the country had never truly experienced a patent war before.

But Shenzhou Storage just won, almost a complete victory, rubbing the computer brand known as the domestic number one brand on the ground, not only making the other party apologize publicly but also compensating for a huge compensation of tens of millions!

After this battle, the sales system that Lianxiang had worked so hard to establish overseas was destroyed, and its reputation almost completely collapsed. It would probably be difficult to rebuild its reputation without several years of work.

The key was the black materials that were exposed, which would become a stain on Lianxiang for the rest of its life. As long as it had a scolding war with other companies, it would be mentioned, and it would never disappear!

"Feng Zong, what should we do now?!"

Inside Huagi Digital Company, which was also the parent company of the Aiguozhe brand, it was also in a mess at this moment. Several executives ran into the office of the founder, Feng Jun.

"Lianxiang actually admitted defeat. I heard that it has to compensate Shenzhou Storage 70 million. This is too ruthless!"

"Lianxiang earned at least several hundred million in revenue by relying on the strategy of binding U-disks to computers. It is right to compensate for this money, but what should we do?"

"Yeah, Lianxiang's kneeling will be the turn of other U-disk companies to be unlucky!"

"It has already started. I heard that now, Shenzhou Storage has started to take action against SanDisk's company in the country, Xingzhidao!"

A group of people in Feng Jun's office were talking about it. In fact, they had never seen this kind of scene. They only heard that overseas companies used lawsuits to put opponents to death, but they listened to it as a rumor. This time, they saw it with their own eyes.

Feng Jun listened to the words of a group of executives, and his brows were also tightly locked. As a graduate of Tsinghua University, he gave up the iron rice bowl of state-owned enterprises, pedaled tricycles, and resold keyboards and CDs in Zhongguancun. It could be said that for the sake of entrepreneurship, Feng Jun had suffered all kinds of hardships.

After founding Huagi Digital Company, relying on acting as an agent for keyboards, computer cases, monitors, etc., he finally had some improvement. After the Aiguozhe brand was founded, U-disks made Huagi soar.

Compared to those counterfeit goods, although Aiguozhe U-disks were not authorized by Shenzhou Storage, they were relatively solid in materials and fine in workmanship, and the quality passed the test. They quickly made a name for themselves and became a dark horse in the U-disk industry.

"Suspend the U-disk business first!"

Feng Jun said after thinking for a moment. Now Shenzhou Storage was in the limelight, carrying the power of a great victory, and attacking other counterfeit U-disk manufacturers. Even Lianxiang couldn't stop it. If he expected Huagi to go head-to-head with Shenzhou Storage, even Feng Jun didn't feel he had a chance of winning.

"Tomorrow I will return to Hanxi and seek to meet the founder of Dongling Gao Ke. I hope that for the sake of being fellow Hanxi folks, he can pull Huagi!"

Feng Jun smiled bitterly. He and Li Dongling could be counted as fellow Hanxi folks, and they debuted almost at the same time, but now their situations were worlds apart.

He was still playing with counterfeit goods, while Li Dongling was rectifying counterfeits and piracy, selling domestic goods overseas. To say he wasn't envious would be a lie.

But the U-disk business of the Aiguozhe brand was too important for Huagi Digital. This was a business that had finally turned around. If it was closed like this, it was estimated that the entire Huagi would fall to the bottom.

"Zhongguancun media received the latest news: U-disk brand Aiguozhe announces the suspension of U-disk production and sales!"

After Lianxiang admitted defeat, while various media were reprinting the news and the entire technology industry was shocked and uneasy, in less than an hour, the technology industry again spread shocking news: Aiguozhe U-disk suspended business!

After Aiguozhe, U-disk brands like Luwen Yipan and Acer also announced the suspension or closure of U-disk business, and then cleared their U-disk inventory at low prices offline, clearly wanting to return blood one last time.

As for Shenzhou Storage, it had signs of going crazy. After suppressing Lianxiang, it directly took action against SanDisk's vest company in the country. After winning the Lianxiang lawsuit, SanDisk's vest company in the country basically couldn't run!

The entire domestic U-disk industry was reshaped in one day. After U-disk brands like Lianxiang, Aiguozhe, Luwen Yipan, and Acer stopped selling or closed down, various counterfeit small U-disk factories also stopped and ran away with their tails between their legs.

Even those big factories were cleaned up by Shenzhou Storage. If these counterfeit small factories didn't run away, were they waiting to be hit by an iron fist?!

Lianxiang's big factories could have their faces stepped on by Shenzhou Storage and then apologize and compensate. But if the bosses of counterfeit small U-disk factories were caught, it wouldn't be a matter of compensating some money. They might have to go to jail, gnaw on steamed buns for a few years, and practice sewing machine technology!

Not only the U-disk industry, but counterfeit goods of products like Shenzhou digital cordless phones, Little Smart mobile phone industry, silver mink mice, and flying goose mini radios also restrained themselves for a while, fearing to touch bad luck.

In the future, there would definitely be counterfeit manufacturers who, under the temptation of huge profits, would counterfeit products under Dongling Gao Ke. But in the short term, after this wave, the entire domestic technology industry, whether big factories or small factories, had a string in their hearts, knowing that Dongling Gao Ke could not be provoked at will!

Dongling Gao Ke's prestige was also established in the domestic technology industry. This was more immediate and effective than reasoning!

"If you copy homework, you can get first place, then is there any need to study?!"

"If you don't care about patents and order, then the entire industry will appear in a scene where three monks have no water to drink, and the entire industry will be completely destroyed due to internal friction!"

"The domestic motorcycle industry will appear as a typical example, letting everyone see clearly what a scene it will be if all companies in the industry are internally frictioned."

"Within three years, domestic motorcycles will definitely suffer a crushing defeat in the entire Southeast Asia, and the entire overseas market for domestic motorcycles will be completely lost."

"The Southeast Asian motorcycle market will be snatched back by Japanese motorcycle brands, and it will be in a way of winning without fighting!"

"Now the country doesn't attach importance to patents, and one day, it will be backlashed because of patents and technology, especially when technology and patents are in the hands of outsiders!"

"Will globalization continue forever? What if one day, it stops?"

"According to the division of labor in globalization, companies in a certain place will always be low-profit OEM businesses, just like Siam, Cochin, Malaysia, and other places. Their fate is all in the hands of the brand companies upstream. Once they leave, this place will have nothing!"

"Being backward doesn't necessarily mean getting beaten; it's just that today I don't want to beat you!"

The central media financial channel, in the golden time period in the evening, released Li Dongling's interview.

Of course, not only Li Dongling's interview, but also the interview with Lianxiang's Liu Zong was also in the evening program.

In the program, Liu Zong still had that set of rhetoric: how difficult Lianxiang was, and he worked hard to bring Lianxiang to today's stage.

And Lianxiang, it's not that it doesn't develop technology, it's just that it occupies the market first, and only after earning money can it develop technology. People have to eat first, and after living, can they consider eating well!

This rhetoric of Liu Zong cannot be said to be wrong, and it is even the heart of many companies. They are almost starving to death, so where can they take care of keeping any rules.

But similarly, Li Dongling's words are even harder to refute. Can it be said that Shenzhou Storage did something wrong this time?

As long as people who have been to school for a few days and have some common sense of life can understand the truth of draining the pond to catch the fish. Even if they close their eyes, they can't say that Shenzhou Storage doesn't care about the morality of the rivers and lakes. They can only mutter that Shenzhou Storage's hands are too ruthless.

But what Li Dongling said in the interview, especially the last sentence, was a huge shock to many people.

Especially for companies with foreign trade business, or people who have dealt with foreign companies, they can understand even more what Li Dongling's words mean, and even people in weapon R&D units feel it even more deeply!

"Hoo!"

"The Chrysanthemum Factory must also make plans early!"

In Pengcheng, Ren, the boss of the Chrysanthemum Factory, saw Li Dongling's words and couldn't help but say to his right-hand men, Li Yinan, Zheng Baoyong, and other Chrysanthemum Factory executives.

The Chrysanthemum Factory is currently competing with a host of foreign communication equipment manufacturers like Nokia, Ericsson, Qualcomm, Cisco, and Lucent. No one understands better than the Chrysanthemum Factory what it feels like to have one's neck pinched by foreign communication patents, to be suppressed by technology, and to be deliberately hit by price wars. It can almost be said that Ren, the boss, feels the same way.

In the previous life, it was precisely because the Chrysanthemum Factory competed with foreign companies all year round that it knew the essence of this world, which was still the ancient law of the jungle.

Most people in the country were just defended by the fiercest batch of people, blocking the danger outside the country, so that many people forgot the most ancient operating rules of this world.

And the Chrysanthemum Factory and Ren, the boss, knew too well what kind of virtue that group of foreign companies had. This was also the reason for the appearance of HiSilicon Semiconductor. But even if they knew something, Ren, the boss, and the Chrysanthemum Factory wouldn't have thought that the Anglo-Saxon bandits had no bottom line...

Now, seeing this interview of Li Dongling, Ren, the boss, who came from the military, felt that they should make preparations early!

Different people have different feelings when seeing Li Dongling's interview. Inside the world's first VCD-inventing company, Wan Yan.

"If you don't care about patents and order... the entire industry will be completely destroyed due to internal friction!"

Jiang Wanmeng, the founder of Wan Yan, watched this interview of Li Dongling dozens of times. At first, it was a bitter smile, then it was relief, and finally, he couldn't help but cover his head with his hands, his eyes a bit red.

If it were four years ago, when Jiang Wanmeng founded Wan Yan, if someone had said this to him, Jiang Wanmeng felt that Wan Yan would never have fallen into this awkward situation. Currently, Wan Yan still seems to be living well, and it is still one of the world's largest VCD manufacturers, but Jiang Wanmeng feels a bit out of control. Not only Wan Yan, but the entire domestic VCD, he feels despair! ===== CHAPTER 481 =====
