Reborn Industrial Tycoon

Li Weidong offered a patent fee of 20 yuan for each air fryer, but Cai Jinjin refused without hesitation. Cai Jinjin even said that Li Weidong was crazy for money.

Li Weidong was calm and said: "Director Cai, I just said that under international practice, the licensing standard for patent fees is 5% to 10% of the selling price. Your product will definitely not be sold for less than 400 yuan.

Right? I want you 20 yuan in royalties, which is already a very good deal."

"I don't care if it's 5% or 10%, it's always 20 yuan, don't even think about it!" Cai Jinjin said.

"Then I would like to ask Director Cai, how much patent fees do you plan to pay?" Li Weidong asked.

"Not a penny!" Cai Qianjin pursed his lips and said with determination: "I still say what I said, if you have the ability, you can go to the court and sue me. If the court orders me to pay compensation, then I will definitely get a lot of it.

I’ll compensate you, but other than that, don’t even think about taking a penny from me!”

"Director Cai, you have to think clearly. If we really go to court, it won't be something that can be solved with 20 yuan." Li Weidong said with a smile.

"It's up to you!" Cai Qianjin looked like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water.

"Director Cai, judging from your attitude, do you plan to negotiate with me?" Li Weidong asked with a smile.

"What can I negotiate with you?" Cai Jinjin snorted coldly.

Li Weidong looked at Jiang Aiguo next to him and asked: "Director Jiang, are you going to pay me a patent fee of 20 yuan per unit, or are you going to wait for the legal procedures like Director Cai?"

"There is no patent fee, you can sue!" Jiang Aiguo said.

Li Weidong looked at several other exhibitors and asked, "Everyone, are you also planning to wait for legal procedures?"

"Don't talk about patent fees with us. If you have the ability, go ahead and sue!"

"Yes, you go ahead and sue. If you win, we will implement whatever the court decides!"

"Isn't it just because you have a broken patent? You even put out the Patent Law, who are you trying to scare?"

Several other exhibitors are obviously in a group and do not plan to pay patent fees.

Li Weidong did not look angry at all. He said calmly: "The leaders of the ministry asked me to come to you to negotiate. Now that we have negotiated, I have completed the instructions of the leaders of the ministry. Then I will leave the next thing to you.

The legal process is complete!”

Li Weidong said, winked at Ma Dexing, turned around and left.

"Hmph, you think we are scared!" Cai Qianjin snorted coldly.

Next to him, Jiang Aiguo immediately came over and said softly: "Lao Cai, what do you think if Li Weidong really goes to sue us?"

"Just sue! We just let go of our harsh words. You won't give in now, will you?" Cai Qianjin said.

"I'm not giving in. The key is that he really has a patent for the air fryer. If he really goes to court to sue, we will definitely be found guilty of infringement!" Jiang Aiguo said in a low voice.

"I said, Lao Jiang, have you really never been in a lawsuit? Even if you have never eaten pork, have you never seen a pig running? How can a lawsuit be so easy? After a lawsuit, you have to say less.

One and a half years, right? If it’s slow, three or four years will be normal. By then, the Canton Fair will have been held several times!”

Cai Qianjin lowered his voice and continued: "Furthermore, even if the court rules that Li Weidong wins, the one who will lose money is not you and me, but the company that produces air fryers. We don't have half a dime."

Loss. What we have to do now is to earn foreign exchange through export!

As soon as the Canton Fair opens and the air fryers are sold, our task of earning foreign exchange from exports will be considered completed. At that time, we will fill in the figures of foreign exchange earnings from exports in the work summary and report it to the leaders. The rest will not concern us.

It’s a matter of course! As for the lawsuit, Li Weidong is also suing companies that produce and sell air fryers. Doesn’t he still have the ability to sue our Foreign Trade Department?”

"Lao Cai, what you said makes sense, and you think carefully!" Jiang Aiguo nodded.

Whether Cai Jinjin or Jiang Aiguo, the manufacturers who tried so hard to protect their own exhibition groups even put aside their dignity and acted rogue. They were not really thinking about the exhibitors, but what they valued were the figures of foreign exchange earned from exports.

As long as things are sold and foreign exchange is earned through exports, their political achievements will be achieved. As for actual lawsuits, those infringing companies may face fines, which has nothing to do with them.

…

Li Weidong had long expected that Cai Qianjin and others would never pay the patent licensing fee, and the twenty yuan he proposed was just a symbolic formality.

As the saying goes, "Courtesy first, then attack." The reason why Li Weidong did this was to force Cai to advance. Jiang Aiguo and others would play the scoundrels to the end. The more they played scoundrels, the more legitimate Li Weidong would be when he counterattacked in the future.

This is like a lawsuit. One party is justified and the other party is not. If the unreasonable party pretends to be pitiful, it may win some sympathy points, but if the unreasonable party still acts like a scoundrel, it will probably be completely embarrassing.

Thorough.

Say it first so there is no room for ambiguity.

Li Weidong has always taken one step at a time and looked at the next three steps. At this time, he already had a plan.

And Ma Dexing was still following Li Weidong, looking eagerly at Li Weidong, looking forward to Li Weidong's next move.

"Director Ma, if you have something to do, go ahead and do your work first. I'll go out for a while." Li Weidong said.

"Do you have other relationships?" Ma Dexing asked.

Seeing how calm Li Weidong was, Ma Dexing thought that Li Weidong could find a bigger leader who could help settle the matter.

Li Weidong replied: "I'm looking for a lawyer."

"Looking for a lawyer? You really want to litigate with them!" Hearing this answer, Ma Dexing seemed a little disappointed. He continued: "Director Li, this lawsuit is not a matter of a day or two. There are many lawsuits.

Two years have passed with no results.

Moreover, even if the court makes a ruling, the other party can still appeal, and this process will take a long time. Even the final judgment will take time to implement.

I don’t know how long it will take for you to finish the lawsuit, win the case, and implement it. But the Canton Fair is about to start. I’m afraid it’s too late to file a lawsuit now, right?"

"Director Ma, you are worrying too much. Finding a lawyer is not necessarily a lawsuit! In many cases, there is no need to take the matter to court. For example, in Western countries such as Europe and the United States, just sending a lawyer's letter will work. Most people

People who are unwilling to endure a long litigation process and know that they will inevitably lose the lawsuit often choose to settle." Li Weidong explained.

"But we are not a European and American country, this is China, and the national conditions are still different from those of European and American countries! The same method that works in European and American countries may not work in China!" Ma Dexing said.

"I didn't say that we would use this method to deal with the Chinese." Li Weidong smiled slightly and then said, "But aren't all the people participating in the Canton Fair foreigners?"

…

Hayward from Costco is his second time in China.

The trip to China half a year ago left a deep impression on Hayward, especially the various delicacies in Yangcheng. It was an unforgettable memory for Hayward. He even learned how to "make side dishes"

"This vocabulary.

Compared to various Cantonese-style morning teas, Hayward prefers to have a side stove.

Cantonese-style morning tea is too heavy on flavors for Hayward. At least chicken feet, golden belly and the like are not in line with Hayward's eating habits.

The Dabian stove is different. The freshly cut beef, various sashimi, squid, shrimp and other seafood make Hayward linger over it. Especially the hand-baked beef balls are the delicacies that Hayward dreams of.

"Finish the work early, and then go to the stove!" Hayward swallowed and walked into the Canton Fair pavilion.

As a heavyweight purchaser like Hayward, his every move has naturally been tracked by the exhibition groups from each province. When Hayward appeared at the Canton Fair exhibition hall, the exhibitors from all provinces were already in full swing and ready.

Finally, Hayward arrived at the home appliance exhibition area. Before he even got close, he saw several people in aprons walking over, holding freshly fried French fries in their hands.

"Sir, do you want French fries?"

"These French fries are freshly fried. Would you like to try them, sir?"

"Sir, this is free!"

At the last Canton Fair, the routines used by Li Weidong were also learned by other exhibitors.

It's just that these hostages have learned the superficial knowledge, but not the essence.

Li Weidong started frying French fries around 10:30 in the morning, which was when people were feeling hungry. A portion of French fries was delivered to him, and the foreign businessman naturally accepted it gladly, and the food was delicious.

But today, these people were frying French fries early in the morning. These foreign businessmen had just eaten breakfast and were full in their bellies. Many foreign businessmen immediately showed disgust when they saw the greasy French fries.

Hayward's mind was full of the side stove, and his stomach was full of space reserved for hand-baked beef balls. How could he eat French fries again?

"I don't want French fries. I've had enough of this in America!" Hayward waved his hand repeatedly.

Several men in aprons were stunned. This was different from the script they expected. Shouldn't this foreigner pick up the French fries and gobble them up? Why didn't he eat any of the French fries?

Hayward got rid of the men in aprons and walked directly to the air fryer exhibition area.

Seeing Hayward coming, the exhibitors in the exhibition area brought out various foods.

"Sir, my air fryer can fry French fries, do you want to see it?"

"Sir, I have fried chicken nuggets here!"

"Sir, I have fried fish here!"

"Sir, I can fry steak for you!"

"Sir, I have fresh silkworm chrysalises here. Do you want to try them? They will be delicious when fried. Sprinkle a handful of salt on them and the kids next door will be crying!"

"Oh my god! F**k!" Hayward came out with a national curse in the United States, and then yelled: "Get that bug away."

Hayward almost cried when he heard that he wanted to eat silkworm chrysalises!

At this time, each exhibitor has turned into a chef, and the air fryer exhibition area instantly turned into a fried food festival.

These exhibitors have no ability to develop new products and are very good at copying Li Weidong's marketing methods.

Li Weidong did not take the initiative to greet Hayward, but quietly watched these people perform.
