Absolute Wizard

Kurdo took the complaint and looked at it one by one, then frowned. It was directly caught in some of the earliest patents so that it no longer needed to be checked.

Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk ’

“Phew, I'm in trouble. ”

“Yes? What do you mean? ”

“The patent that you're proposing is about design, LED-related light source effects, and HQS. This was all stolen from our company. I didn't know you'd already filed a patent. ”

“But aren't you registered yet? ”

“Yes, but because the product has already been launched and is clearly known to the outside, it will be difficult to win if a lawsuit goes in. ”

“Is there no way around it? ”

“Yes, it would be more preferable to just meet your contact and negotiate. But raincomb demands…..”

“Huh? Six, sixty billion?!! ”

“Yes.”

* * *

After being sued by Raincomb, Takara stopped her original plan and urgently consulted the other side of the case. I made contact with the political community to save political pressure, if possible.

But their conclusion was simpler than I expected.

This is no win!

No matter how much I looked at the advantages of Japan and the blind spots that the law had, I could not find an answer. If the law had been broken as clearly as it is now, there was honestly no way to do it.

If I had simply avoided the law, I would not have this problem, but I did not.

“Ah, Warden Cudo, why wouldn't you consider this? ”

“Didn't the dean tell you to copy one thing you didn't give time to and the other? ”

In fact, it was correct to think that Raincomb would not have filed a patent.

‘Small and medium-sized enterprises would not have been able to take that into account, and that was a problem. ’

Of course, I didn't have to tell him about this. Shouldn't you be trying to figure this out if you knew? It was clear that he would make a responsible assumption.

It was like this.

Takara eventually reported this to Sony Electronics as the situation escalated out of her control.

“...... one situation. So I'm thinking about what to do now.......”

Sony's attitude was not significantly different from that of many managers. Once Takara is seated in front of you, you go to hell.

You idiot!!!

This is how swearing started. He demanded that the matter be dealt with after being thoroughly drained of blood.

“What are you going to do? ”

“We're going to negotiate. ”

“Okay, I'm going to hold you responsible for this once we're done. ”

“Yes.”

Chapter 5 Agreement

“Hello viewers. This is what MBC News is all about. You've been through a lot lately, haven't you? There was nothing good going on, and I was very uncomfortable with just the bad news. But not today. Eun Joo, you said you had one more good news today. ”

“That's right. It's incredible news that if you hear Ami, you'll blow your mind right now. ”

“Hahaha, I'm really excited about this. What kind of news are you talking about? ”

“Have you ever heard of raincomb? ”

“Raincomb is a small and medium-sized company that is famous for its MP3 nowadays. Is this the right company? ”

“That's right. It's about Raincomb in the middle of a venture these days. I've already introduced you before, but everyone speaks up because they're so afraid of revenue growth. However, the reaction of SlimMX, which was recently launched in the company, is amazing. The number we've sold so far is 1.5 million. ”

“Wow, it's sold out. ”

“I bought one just because I liked the design. ”

“Hahaha, really? This is a bit of a news story. ”

“Hoho, but I think you need to know something about it in order to explain the following news. Raincomb is more likely to go to the United States, Japan and China than domestic waters. The quantity ordered is so low that it doesn't have any parts. ”

“That's a really hot reaction. This is a relief to those who are struggling with IMF these days. ”

“But that's not what I'm talking about. ”

“Huh? Something else?”

“The amazing thing is that we copied SlimMX right out of Sony and launched it. ”

“In Sony? Sony does that, too? ”

“This time, it's an exception. So Raincomb filed a patent suit for this. ”

“Oh, that's what I was going to say. ”

“Hoho, you're not surprised at this. But only the amount associated with this lawsuit is exactly 600 billion. ”

“Yes? Six, sixty billion? That's a lot of money! I don't really feel it. ”

“That's amazing. It's a rare thing in my country to file patent suits like this with foreign companies. I mean, almost nothing until recently. Rather, the opposite happened. ”

“But can you really get that much money? ”

“You have your doubts. In fact, there's a lot of people meeting about this. However, according to the Raincomb representative, this suit is a win. ”

“So you can make 600 billion just by litigating? ”

“Of course, the entire 600 billion will be difficult. My expertise in this field suggests that even so, up to 200 billion is enough. ”

“Any reason at all..."

“That's roughly five million units combined with the volume recently ordered. That's a huge amount of 750 billion just looking at sales. That's what I was going to say. ”

“! ”

The reporter found out that he was broadcasting now, but he was surprised by this content and opened his mouth slightly. It was really shocking. I didn't fully understand how a small and medium-sized company's revenue was 750 billion.

“You don't believe me, do you? ”

“Well, that's amazing. I didn't know there was such a company that made so much sales. ”

“Everyone is amazed at this news. So with that in mind, at least 200 billion is possible. That's what Sony's going to pay. ”

It may not make much sense.

It was not an unreasonable demand, however, for an estimated 30 percent net profit to reach 225 billion.

Realistic loss is this, and considering the loss that took place over the six-month period and grew, 60 billion was not that much.

* * *

It was just an unacceptable amount for Takara, Sony's side.

Kuang.

Are you kidding? You can't come to an agreement without 600 billion! >

Cho Min-woo looked at Takara in front of him and did not show much change in his face. But he was thinking about how to deal with the transaction in his head.

‘Obviously, it would be hard to get 60 billion lawsuits. We have to come to some compromise, roughly 200 billion is the maximum. ’

This was a concern.

It was a situation where 10 billion people could come and go as well as speak.

He eventually received and presented a report with the net profit margin to show that he was more favourable.

< As you can see from this report, the net profit margin is generally close to 38%. So I don't think it's too much to ask? >

Three, 38%? What a ridiculous sound...... ’

Takara checks the report once and then shuts up with an unbelievable expression. What Jo Min-woo said was true. Surprisingly, the profit margin on raincomb was much higher than that of a typical manufacturer.

Of course, the reason was very simple.

"These bastards, they really are expensive, aren't they? ’

It was priced beyond common sense. I sold it like that, but I was expecting close to 5 million sales, so I had to think it was really great.

However, after realizing one thing, he frowned.

‘But if so, how much is the unit price different from the product copied by our company? These guys are really something, aren't they? ’

I couldn't think lightly. This result was not very believable because he saw the counterfeit from his own instruction. What kind of technology did you use to get results like that?

< Ha, but even so, 60 billion doesn't make sense. Even if it's in your favor, you can't get more than 200 billion in lawsuits. How organized do you have to be? >

Actually, it's not wrong. Normally, a case involving this kind of infringement would make it practically difficult to exceed 200 billion.

Rather, if it goes wrong, it could fall to less than 100 billion. More importantly, it was wasted time and energy.

I also knew that it would be a loss if I fought Sony in such a useless time.

‘It would be best to compromise to some extent. Now that you've come to some agreement with the staff on this, I'm going to have to show you my card. ’

When I made my decision, I hesitated and finally put out a word.

< Very well, if that's what you mean, let's take a rough look. This is a report that has been discussed with our company's law firm. Here's the basis for that, so let's take a look. >

Takara mutters as she opens her report.

< How much? >

< 174 Billion! >

* * *

Takara was unable to respond to Raincomb's demands. Once Sony internally needed an agreement on this.

I don't like the majority of the results, but I couldn't help it.

The contents of the report requested by Raincomb contained mainly litigation cases related to these cases, which were taken into account.

Of course, I could not receive this amount.

“I want 143 billion! ”

“Let's do it! ”

When Jo Min-woo received this offer, he pretended to be hesitant and consulted about it. Of course, we also agreed that we would receive 33,000 KRW per person for future products.

The profit from just saying a few words.

143 billion.

Honestly, the production cafe inside Raincomb was an enormous amount of money to sell all five million units.

‘Hmm, it sure is a lot of fun. ’

Of course, he does this for money (?), I did not swallow it all by myself.

Not if I get sick of it! ’

Unlike other employees, Chairman Park Joo-young has been living well these days. To be honest, he had some expectations when he left Samsung, but he began to regret it when he faced reality.

It was obvious to me that the capital was on the decline. I had no idea what Raincomb's future would have been like if I had stayed there.

‘It was because of President Jo Min-woo. I don't know. Maybe we're lucky enough to get away with it. But now I can't see the answer. ’

In fact, so was his wife.

“Hah, it's really frustrating to say this to you right now. But I had to think a little bit more and make a careful decision. ”

“Honey, I'm sorry. ”

This was the conversation between the two of you.

However, it was completely different after Cho Min-woo suddenly appeared and acquired Raincomb.

Raincomb literally went on and on and on. I felt like I could do anything at this rate.

But even if he did, I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

‘The problem is money falls on me. It's not a stock option yet, and that doesn't give you a big incentive. A friend of mine left Samsung said he received 200% as a bonus this time......’

In fact, considering this, his judgment is clearly wrong. So now I was regretting it once again.

Nowadays, I knew that the company was going well, but it was even more difficult when I had trouble producing again.

"Why don't we start by applying for a career in another big company? Since you've recently resigned anyway, I think it's quite possible...... ’

It was around this time when he heard the unthinkable story.

Chief Park, did you hear the news? >

< What news? >

< This Thanksgiving Award supports a 1,000% incentive! >

<? >

I didn't know what I was talking about.

Suddenly, I didn't know what the incentive was.

< Ah, this is why Chief Park is frustrated. Why is your information so slow? You don't know about the patent agreement with Sony this time? That's 143 billion in revenue from the company. These are the awards that came out of it. >

< Are you sure? >

< I heard some confusing news too, but I'm sure the news is clear. >

< Who the hell said that? >

Director Yang! >

* * *

Chief Park Jo-young was happy to hear this story, but I couldn't be sure. It was not publicly announced inside the company.

But at the time of leaving work, I couldn't think of it that way when I saw the email from the company announcement.

Hello Raincomb employees. I'm President Jo Min-woo. I hate talking dirty, so I'm just going to cut to the chase. This announcement is related to a special bonus for this Thanksgiving. The bonus amount was paid in batches at 1200% of base salary. And of course, there's going to be a slight difference between individuals. because it's adjusted to performance. Maybe if you check the account now, you can see the results.

It was really shocking.

Of course, I had heard about it already, but I didn't think so.

But I didn't really know this amount would come out.

He was furious after using his fearless phone banking to confirm his amount.

Twenty million won? ’

It was really a lot of money. At this rate, he or she spent at least two years saving, saving, and collecting.

I couldn't believe it. Honestly, even large companies, including Samsung, rarely give awards of this magnitude.
