Super military empire

Long Yaohua did not expect that Liu Yijiu had always adopted a sheep-raising strategy in this matter. Coaster’s United Trading Company was just a little-known small trading company in the United States. Has become more famous in the United States.

Liu Yijiu has never made any mistakes in calculating people.

Once Liu Yijiu said this, using the West to force China into their rules of the game, then this matter must be handled with caution.

Even if the Chinese companies do not have too much reason, there is not enough evidence, the US government will have to sentence China to victory, otherwise, this matter is really not easy to solve.Chinese domestic companies know that these intellectual property rights are only restricting Chinese companies. Who will follow these rules of the game?

Long Yaohua didn't stay in the Ninth Hospital for a long time, nor did he watch the progress of Yun Twenty. Because he had too many things, he quickly changed his schedule and went back.

After Long Yaohua left, Liu Yijiu convened a meeting with the senior managers of Hongxing Electric Factory to discuss this matter.

Hongxing Electrical Appliance Factory is a star enterprise in China’s foreign export trade. Its annual trade volume has continued to grow, and has now exceeded 300 million US dollars. The products have developed from electric fans at the beginning to various electrical products now, and even a joint venture with Changhong The investment in TV, refrigerator, washing machine and other businesses, of course, is mainly the production of plastic products on various electrical appliances, and the development of TV and refrigerator businesses is not very prominent.

The key issue is still waiting for the Ninth Academy's related military technology to be transformed into civilian use.

"The next step is to increase investment in the research of televisions, especially color TVs with larger screens, more advanced washing machines, and refrigerators. What we need is to occupy the mid-to-high-end market, not the low-end market. The sales in the end market are indeed good, but everyone knows the profit..." Liu Yijiu arranged the tasks of the next stage of the Red Star Electric Factory.

Starting with electric fans, the Red Star brand began to become well-known internationally. This is the only brand in China that can occupy a certain share of the world market.

As for brand awareness, some domestic cognition has already begun.

Red Star Electric Factory has always relied on Liu Yijiu's memory of some shape designs to lead the world.

With the advancement of technology and the wider application of plastic products in the market, the sales volume of this company is also increasing. However, this growth rate does not satisfy Director Liu.

"Director Liu, in terms of air conditioners and refrigerators, our technology is still far behind the international level, especially the problem of small compressors. Domestic refrigerators basically import compressors from abroad, and their appearance design is Imitate our patented technologies..."

As the factory director of Red Star Electrical Appliance Factory, Ren Xu is over 40 years old. His continuous training over the years has enabled him to understand more and more about the entire international market.

"Especially the infringement problem against us in foreign markets has seriously affected our sales. There are also many domestic products that imitate our electrical products, but their technology is substandard, and they have a very big problem compared with ours. The gap, Hong Kong has a good technical foundation, and there are foreign technical support..."

The infringement of various products of Red Star Electric is very serious.

From the previous United Trading Company in Hong Kong to find a foundry to imitate, now, there has been a huge development.

"Now the factories in Hong Kong are preparing to build factories in the mainland. I have consulted the China Merchants Office for this matter. They are also helpless in this matter. Especially these are foreign investment..." This matter is full of complaints."Once their factory is successfully built here, it will seriously affect our market sales. For many people, foreign brands and technologies are better than domestic ones..."

"Is the background investigation of that factory clear? Who is the controlling shareholder?" Liu Yijiu frowned and asked.

Hong Kong investment now has a lot of preferential treatment in the country. After all, the country still lacks foreign exchange. In addition, after the father negotiates with Queen Elizabeth, Hong Kong will return to China on July 1, 1997. Under this background, Hong Kong investment in the mainland The preferential treatment received is naturally conceivable.

"This large electrical appliance factory is an offshore company registered in the British Virgin Islands. According to our investigation, the United Trading Company is indirectly controlled, but there is no direct evidence. Moreover, things about offshore companies are not good internationally. It's done." Ren Xu knows very well about offshore companies.

Offshore companies are originally shell companies and leather bag companies established internationally for tax avoidance, and registration is very easy.

It is used to invest in some entities and ultimately make the shares of certain companies not so clear.

"The sales agent of the products they produce is United Trading Company, right? Does Coster's product compete fiercely with Sihua Group?" Liu Yijiu asked suddenly, "I asked you to collect information about United Trading Company's infringement of our patents. What’s going on with the various materials?"

"We have collected a lot of data. All the electrical products sold by United Trading Company are made by processing factories in Hong Kong, and then they carry out OEM processing, but most of the shapes are imitated our designs..."

"That's enough. Find an international law firm in Hong Kong and file a lawsuit in the state court where the headquarters of the United Trading Company is located! We have applied for patents in the United States and Europe, and this is a lawsuit against them!" Liu Yijiu After weighing it, he said.

His words suddenly made everyone silent.

Going to fight a patent lawsuit in the United States?

There is no precedent for this before.

Moreover, there is no patent in China, and socialist countries have not built intellectual property rights.

"What's wrong? Is it difficult to complete the task I assigned?" Liu Yijiu asked everyone coldly, "Ten years, such a good opportunity, Hongxing Electric Factory has expanded its production capacity by several times in addition to the number of workers. Expanded several times, what else is there now? It is very difficult to do such a thing?"

"Director Liu, this task is not complicated, but if we do this, we will not be able to achieve results for a long time, and it will consume a lot of money and time..." Ren Xu said embarrassedly, "Furthermore, There are a lot of domestic imitations of foreign products..."

"Did we imitate foreign products?" Liu Yijiu was very dissatisfied with Ren Xu's attitude.

As a general manager who is about to become a multinational company, he is not resolute at all on such matters.

"No……"

"Doesn’t that matter? What’s going on at home? That’s a national matter. Foreign governments and our governments should work together to resolve matters. In the European and American markets, we are playing games according to their rules of the game. If they don’t protect our interests, So, do we still need to abide by their rules of the game? What do we apply for a patent?" Liu Yijiu raised his brows and said to Ren Xu, "As long as we have the reasons, we must make them compensate. Although United Trading Company We have no reason to control the production plant in Hong Kong, but it is an indisputable fact that many of the products they sell infringe on us. In addition, Sihua International will join us in suing United Trading Company!"

Liu Yijiu did not tell Ren Xu and others that the Western countries headed by the United States wanted to cheat China and let the whole China play market games according to their game rules. Now they are preparing to let the Chinese government take the lead and increase their efforts to start intellectual property rights. Construction.

This is a very good opportunity.

As he said to Long Yaohua.

To Long Yaohua, those things can be said, but to the senior management of Hongxing Electric Factory, it is absolutely impossible to say.

There will be a lot of international lawsuits in the future. If they didn’t learn a lesson from the beginning and didn’t know where to start, they would suffer a big loss in the end. The original intention of the rights protection team is somewhat contrary.

"Director Liu, why don't we communicate with the Ministry of Commerce first?" Ren Xu is now a popular man in front of the Ministry of Commerce.

In this year, everything is dominated by efficiency.

The era of economic construction in command.

"From the Ministry of Commerce, I will personally talk to their people." Liu Yijiu's appearance is completely different from Ren Xu's appearance.

Regardless of what Ren Xu said, no matter how good the relationship with the Ministry of Commerce is, he might be perfunctory over there. After all, most people are better off doing less than more.

This time I was going to file a lawsuit with a US company, and it was also an unprecedented first for the Ministry of Commerce.

The lawsuit is not an ordinary lawsuit, but a patent infringement lawsuit.

"You go to prepare and prepare the legal counsel of Red Star Electrical Appliance Factory. As for the international lawyer team, we must find well-known lawyers who can dig in and serve us for a long time. This is better. There will be no less things like this in the future... "After Liu Yijiu finished speaking, regardless of whether Ren Xu and others had anything to say, they just got up and left, leaving everyone with a distressed look.

After the meeting, he went directly to Taipingsi Airport and took a direct flight to the capital to find someone from the Ministry of Commerce.

There are many business contacts between the Ministry of Commerce and the Ninth Institute, especially the many civilian units under the Ninth Institute, many of which are star enterprises that earn foreign exchange through export.

However, the Ministry of Commerce deals directly with the management personnel of the export unit of the Ninth Institute in Chengdu.

It is said that there is such a unit, because the headquarters of the Ninth Academy in Chengdu has always been built with only shelves, many people directly grabbed people to push the tank after encountering an incident.

Liu Yijiu’s energy was not devoted to the construction of the headquarters announced by the Ninth Hospital of Chengdu, and after Chen Shuhao and others were dealt with, the headquarters of the Ninth Hospital was not reorganized vigorously. People from Rongcheng contacted, but went to the Ministry of Commerce.

"Director Liu, what brought you here?" Regarding Liu Yijiu's arrival, Wang Xun, who has been promoted to vice minister, personally received Liu Yijiu. What energy is behind this man who is too young than him? He knows it better than anyone else.If there are no major issues, Liu Yijiu will generally not go here. "Does the Ninth Institute have any products to be exported for export licenses? Just let the people below handle such things. But your subordinate units give The face of our Minister of Commerce. Previously, our Ministry of Commerce existed for import, but now it is finally able to export numerous industrial products and technologies..."

Liu Yijiu was a little uncomfortable with Wang Xun's enthusiasm.

Especially Wang Xun is also the deputy minister in charge of foreign trade.

The relationship with Wang Xun is not very familiar, and the Ministry of Commerce is not run by the Ninth Court. Their main job is to conduct national-level commercial negotiations. How could they have such an attitude just because of the export of the Ninth Court?

"Minister Wang, what you said, is it okay that I can't come to the Ministry of Commerce?" Everyone carries the sedan chair, and they are enthusiastic. Naturally, Liu Yijiu can't be cold, right?

What's more, I came to trouble the Ministry of Commerce.

He smiled and said immediately, "I'm not here to ask for any approval or export license. For the real thing we want to export, your Ministry of Commerce's license won't work..."

"Then who is natural!" Wang Xuan smiled awkwardly.

Liu Yijiu will never find himself for some export licenses for civilian products.

The largest export business of the Ninth Institute is not ordinary products, but military equipment. The Ministry of Commerce really cannot control that stuff.

"Minister Wang, the Ministry of Commerce is full of professional elites who have a very clear understanding of international trade and the laws of various countries. I am here to borrow someone from you this time..." After the greeting, Liu Yijiu went directly to the topic.It is said that it is borrowing from the Ministry of Commerce. It is impossible for the Foreign Trade Department of the Ministry of Commerce to ignore such a big matter.

"Borrowing?" Wang Xun frowned immediately."We don't have any personnel needed by the Ninth Hospital!"

Who doesn't know about the digging of people in the Ninth Academy?

Those backbones of the Ministry of Commerce, can they be willing to go to the Ninth Hospital?

Even if it is willing, can the Ministry of Commerce release people?

The scale of international trade is getting bigger and bigger, and the Ministry of Commerce has not many professionals in various fields, especially experienced personnel.

After the reform and opening up, many people have gone out to study, but not many have returned.

"The Ministry of Commerce naturally has the person I want. If not, I won't come to waste our time, right?" Liu Yijiu continued to smile, and Wang Xun who was laughing was a little hairy."We want experts who have research on international patent law!"

"What do you want the legal personnel of international patent law to do?" Wang Xun frowned even more.

"Lawsuit. Except for the lawsuit, our own legal counsel is enough." Liu Yijiu's words shocked Wang Xun. "We have to fight against a multinational company in the United States that infringed our patent rights. lawsuit……"
