Reborn Industrial Tycoon

Chapter 202: Pull you into the water (two chapters in one)

Without a patent authorization letter, Hayward naturally did not dare to buy an air fryer. Jiang Aiguo and others did not dare to continue to block Hayward, so they could only let Hayward leave.

In the air fryer exhibition area, all the exhibitors were dumbfounded. Only then did they realize that without patent authorization, air fryers really could not be sold.

Those selling French fries, fried chicken nuggets, and fried steaks stopped one after another, and the men in aprons who were handing out French fries outside the exhibition area also returned to their respective exhibition areas.

If you can't sell anything anymore, why are you still frying chicken nuggets and selling French fries?

"Director Cai, what should we do now? Think of a solution quickly!" Everyone turned their attention to Cai Qianjin.

The most popular dancer yesterday was Cai Qianjin, and it was Cai Qianjin who was at the front facing Li Weidong. Now everyone should regard Cai Qianjin as the core and let Cai Qianjin make the decision.

Cai Qianjin pondered for a moment and then said, "Li Weidong has even registered an international patent. Foreigners are different from us. They attach great importance to patent protection. Now it seems that if we want to sell air fryers, we can't get around Li Weidong."

The patent has been issued. Let’s go talk to Li Weidong.”

Cai Qianjin said and led everyone to Li Weidong.

At this time, Li Weidong was holding a teacup in his hand, which was an exclusive service provided by senior waiter Ma Dexing.

Ma Dexing was on the side, holding a contract for 30,000 air fryers with a happy face.

This contract is more than the 5.7 million US dollars last year, reaching 6 million US dollars. Of course, Ma Dexing will not find it too small. Considering that there are so many exhibitors selling air fryers and the competition is so fierce, if you can win

The large order of six million US dollars has exceeded Ma Dexing's expectations.

Seeing Cai Qianjin coming over, Li Weidong did not agree to him, but sipped the tea and looked very intoxicated, as if the tea tasted very good.

"Director Li, you're not busy, let's have a chat?" Cai Qianjin said, but there was no hint of resignation in his tone, but rather like he was holding back his breath.

After all, Cai Qianjin is a cadre of the provincial foreign trade department, and companies usually bow down to him. How could he bow down to companies? Now facing the entrepreneur Li Weidong, Cai Qianjin still habitually assumes a condescending attitude.

"Hey, it's Director Cai!" Li Weidong pretended to be flattered and asked, "Do you have anything to do with me, Director Cai?"

"Can you take out your air fryer patent and share it with everyone?" Cai Jinjin pointed to the surrounding exhibitors.

"Share?" Li Weidong chuckled and said, "Director Cai, if it's about the air fryer patent, we don't need to talk anymore.

Yesterday, I repeatedly asked you whether we should negotiate. Your original words at that time were, 'Is there anything to negotiate with you?' Since Director Cai feels that there is nothing to negotiate with me, then we have nothing to discuss.

We have to talk!”

Li Weidong said, deliberately blowing the tea in his hand, and said to the exhibitors behind Cai Qianjin: "And everyone, too. I asked you yesterday if we should negotiate about the air fryer, and you all refused.

ah!

I remember that some people said at the time, don’t talk about my patent, so that I can have the ability to sue; some people said that I am using a broken patent to scare people. If that is the case, then don’t talk about my broken patent now!”

"Li Weidong, do you know that you are making a mistake? Your selfish behavior has affected the country's export earnings!" Cai Qianjin said sharply.

"Then you go and sue me!" Li Weidong said in a nonchalant manner.

"Don't think that I don't dare to sue you. Let's go to the leaders of the ministries and commissions now and tell them about your behavior of undermining the country's export earnings and let them seek justice!" Cai Qianjin said.

"It's up to you!" Li Weidong spread his hands.

"Li Weidong, aren't you afraid of incurring public outrage by doing this?" Cai Qianjin asked angrily.

"Director Cai, your idea is very strange. We are competitors to begin with, right? Which business person have you ever seen who is afraid of offending his competitors? Competitors should be hostile to each other!"

Li Weidong smiled slightly, and then said: "Don't think that you are the only ones who can play rogue, I can! If you play rogue, at most I will have no meat to eat; if I play rogue, you will not even be able to drink the soup!"

Li Weidong didn't get used to these people and went back angrily. Anyway, he was not under Cai Qianjin's jurisdiction. Even if he and Cai Qianjin broke up, Cai Qianjin couldn't do anything to him.

…

After being frustrated by Li Weidong, Cai Qianjin and others stepped aside in dismay and continued to discuss countermeasures.

Jiang Aiguo took the lead and asked: "Lao Cai, what should we do now? We offended Li Weidong so much yesterday and said all kinds of cruel things. If we go to him for help now, he will definitely not help us!"

"Yes, if I had known this earlier, I would not have offended Li Weidong yesterday."

"Yesterday Li Weidong came to negotiate with us. We just need to talk to him. Businesses are not done in a righteous way. Now it's okay. If we talk to others, they won't talk to us."

"We shouldn't listen to Director Cai. He and Li Weidong are trying to support each other. Why are we messing around!"

Cai Qianjin was also very depressed. It was indeed very painful to be slapped in the face after speaking nonsense.

I saw Cai Qianjin snorted coldly and said, "What do you mean, do you blame me for this? Yesterday, Li Weidong asked for a patent licensing fee of 20 yuan. Didn't you all jump out to oppose it? Even without me, you would have paid that

20 yuan!

Besides, if Li Weidong applied for a patent, why should he give it to you for use? In this world, which company doesn’t charge for its patent? Even if you don’t offend Li Weidong, Li Weidong will not give the patent to you for free! "

After Cai Jinjin said something, everyone also shut up.

"Lao Cai, stop complaining. We are sitting on the same boat now. Come up with an idea!" Jiang Aiguo said.

Cai Qianjin pondered for a moment and then said, "Let's go to the leaders of the ministries and commissions now and say that Li Weidong has destroyed our export earnings! The most important thing for the ministries and commissions is export earnings. When the time comes, we will let the leaders of the ministries and commissions issue orders and force Li Weidong to blow up the air."

Hand over the patent for the pot!"

…

Liu Dawei once again signed the word "read" on the document.

There was a knock on the door, and the secretary walked in in a panic.

"Boss, a large group of people are coming outside and they want to see you," the secretary said.

"Who are there in a large group of people?" Liu Dawei asked in surprise.

"Representatives from several provinces are here, about a dozen of them, headed by Cai Qianjin and Jiang Aiguo," the secretary replied.

Liu Dawei thought for a while and said: "There are too many people. I can't sit here. Let them wait in the office outside for a while. I will go out immediately."

Cai Qianjin and others were invited to the large office outside. Liu Dawei tidied his clothes and walked out.

"Director Liu, you have to seek justice for us!" Cai Qianjin said.

"What happened? If you have anything to say, please speak slowly." Liu Dawei said calmly. He was already ready to practice Tai Chi.

"Director Liu, Li Weidong, an exhibitor from Handong Province, deliberately undermined our export order worth tens of millions of dollars!" Cai Jinjin said exaggeratedly.

"A big order worth tens of millions of dollars!" Liu Dawei took a breath of air and then said, "What's the specific time? Please tell me in detail."

Cai Qianjin explained: "There is a product in our province. The price has been negotiated with foreign businessmen. When the foreign businessmen were about to place an order, Li Weidong suddenly stepped in and made trouble in front of the foreign businessmen, and the foreign businessmen stopped buying from us.

product!”

Liu Dawei frowned slightly. He was not a fool. Naturally, he knew that there must be moisture in Cai Qianjin's words. Foreign businessmen were not fools either. How could they cancel an order worth tens of millions of dollars just because someone made a few gossips?

Liu Dawei knew with his butt that things were not as simple as Cai Qianjin said!

So Liu Dawei asked: "Xiaocai, what product are you talking about that can sell for tens of millions of dollars?"

"Air fryer!" Cai Qianjin replied.

"Another air fryer? Yesterday, Ma Dexing came to see me for this air fryer, but he was confused by me and Xinni. Now Cai Qianjin has brought so many people here, also for this air fryer. It seems like this

The matter cannot continue to be muddled and needs to be completely resolved."

Although Liu Dawei is good at making peace with Xini, he also knows when to make peace with Xini and when not to make peace with Xini. Judging from the current situation, the conflict has intensified, and Liu Dawei can no longer continue to make peace with Xini. He has to be a peacemaker.

Solve the problem.

"Xiao Cai, I can't just believe in this matter. Let's do this. I'll call all the parties involved and ask first what's going on."

As he spoke, Liu Dawei turned to his secretary and said, "Go and call Ma Dexing, and also the exhibitor named Li Weidong."

…

Li Weidong and Ma Dexing arrived at the temporary office of the ministry. Only then did Liu Dawei know that the follower who followed Ma Dexing yesterday was the Li Weidong Cai Qian said.

Liu Dawei said straight to the point: "Now that everyone is here, let's talk about today's matter. Director Li, Director Cai, Director Jiang and others came to me to complain, saying that you stirred up trouble in front of foreign businessmen and ruined their business.

Is this the case with an order worth tens of millions of dollars?"

"Leader, there is absolutely no such thing!" Li Weidong immediately denied.

"Li Weidong, as long as you are a man, you dare to take responsibility. Just admit it!" Cai Qianjin said from the side.

"Why should I admit something I haven't done?" Li Weidong replied.

"Haha, Li Weidong, you realize that so many of us have wronged you!" Cai Qianjin said.

Cai Jinjin did not say "I have wronged you", but brought everyone in to increase credibility. As the saying goes, if everyone says you are a bad person, even if you are a good person, you will become a bad person.

Li Weidong remained calm and said, "Director Cai, Director Jiang, and all of you, I would like to ask how I made such a fuss at that time? Did you hear what I said at that time?"

"You told that foreign businessman not to buy our products!" Cai Qianjin said.

"Director Cai, I have never told foreign businessmen that they cannot buy your products. Not only did I not say this, I also allowed foreign businessmen to buy your products with confidence and boldness."

Li Weidong smiled slightly and continued: "And do you think that foreign businessmen are too simple? I, Li Weidong, can decide what products foreign businessmen want to buy with just one word. If I say one word, foreign businessmen can decide whether to buy or not to sell.

You really think I’m a god!”

"You are using strong words to make excuses. If you hadn't interfered with it, how could the foreign businessman cancel the order?" Cai Jinjin insisted that Li Weidong was responsible.

Li Weidong smiled sinisterly: "Don't you know why foreign businessmen don't buy your products? Do you have to make it clear to me?"

"Let's make it clear! Don't you just want to say that you have a patent for air fryers, but we don't? Aren't you just jealous when you see us exporting air fryers? That's why you block it." Cai Jinjin said.

.

Jiang Aiguo, who was standing next to him, also chimed in and said, "Li Weidong, even if you have the patent for the air fryer, you have gone too far. We are exporting for the country to earn foreign exchange. You can't just rely on the patent to sabotage it, right? You are like this."

This kind of behavior has seriously affected the country’s export and foreign exchange earning work.”

Li Weidong curled his lips: "Director Jiang, you can't say that. You sell air fryers to earn foreign exchange for the country's exports. If I sell air fryers, do I earn foreign exchange for the country's exports? If foreign businessmen want to buy air fryers, they can buy them from me.

If you buy it, the country won’t lose a penny of foreign exchange.”

"Okay, stop arguing!" Liu Dawei stopped the quarrel. He continued: "Let's not talk about the patent for now. Director Li, what did you tell the foreign businessmen at that time? I hope you can explain it in detail.

Be clear. If there is really a misunderstanding here, explaining the matter clearly will be more conducive to resolving the matter.

Li Weidong nodded and said, "The thing is like this, foreign businessmen came to our exhibition area to inquire, and then one exhibitor quoted a price of 280 US dollars, and then several other exhibitors bargained with each other and lowered the price to 150 US dollars.

!”

After hearing this, Liu Dawei's face suddenly darkened. This kind of price war, in which no one can take advantage in the end, is what the ministry does not want to see. This is not to make it clear that he will earn a large amount of foreign exchange and gain nothing.

Are you a foreigner?

However, it is difficult for ministries and commissions to directly intervene in the operation of enterprises. If your enterprise is willing to sell at a loss, what can the ministries and commissions do? When encountering this kind of thing, they can only knock out their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs, thinking that they are unlucky.

Cai Qianjin also felt a little embarrassed about his face, so he said, "Li Weidong, talk about your own affairs and ask us what to do!"

"Don't worry, it will be about me soon!" Li Weidong continued: "Later, the foreign businessman took a fancy to my product and asked me about the price. My lowest offer was 200 US dollars. The foreign businessman thought it was very expensive and he was very curious.

Why is my air fryer $50 more expensive than other people’s air fryers?

Since foreign businessmen have questions, of course I have to answer them, so I tell them that other air fryers are not patented, so they are sold cheaply.

I also said at the time that the patent law only punishes those who produce and sell infringing products. It doesn't matter if they buy them, so he can buy them with confidence!

Then the foreign businessman asked to see the patent authorization document. Of course Director Cai and others couldn't produce it. This foreign businessman is also a law-abiding person. He learned that other people's air fryers were infringing products, so he stopped buying it!

This foreign businessman probably thinks that if he purchases products without patent authorization and then sells them back to the United States, it is also an infringement and he will be sued. After all, the laws in the United States are different from those here, and they really protect intellectual products.

, it’s not just talk.”

Liu Dawei nodded and asked Cai Qianjin: "Xiao Cai, is this what happened?"

"We borrowed the patent certificate from Li Weidong, but he refused to lend it to us! If he would lend us the patent certificate, the foreign businessmen would not have left, and the order would have been signed!" Cai Qianjin said arrogantly.

said.

Li Weidong didn't answer, he just pouted, meaning look at how rogue these people are!

Liu Dawei also felt that what Cai Qianjin said was unreasonable. He coughed dryly and said, "Director Cai, since it belongs to someone else, it is naturally up to the owner whether to lend it or not. The owner is willing to lend it to you.

It’s a matter of affection, and it’s my duty not to lend you anything. If someone doesn’t lend you anything, you can’t just take advantage of it!”

However, Liu Dawei looked at Li Weidong again and said, "Director Li, there is something wrong with what you did. We are all brothers from the same province. We see each other with our heads down all day long. You lent the patent certificate to Director Cai and the others for use again and again."

What's the harm? It's not like Director Cai and the others won't return it. Unity is the most important thing among comrades!"

Both sides play fifty big boards each, which is very consistent with the Tai Chi peacemaker style.

Li Weidong smiled slightly and then said: "Leader, let's not talk about whether this patent certificate can be borrowed. Patent authorization requires a contract signed in black and white to be counted. I lent them the patent certificate, but they did not obtain the patent authorization."

"If there is no authorization, there is no authorization. As long as there is a patent certificate, I can sign the contract. I will first get the order from the foreign businessman!" Jiang Aiguo said from the sidelines.

"I understand, Director Jiang's intention is to first deceive the foreign businessmen, sign the contract, and get the money. As for the foreign businessmen who will be sued if they encounter patent litigation in the future, it will be the foreign businessmen's own misfortune and it is none of your business!

This abacus is so good!" Li Weidong dug a big hole for Jiang Aiguo.

Liu Dawei coughed again: "Integrity should be emphasized when doing business. It took our country decades to create the golden sign of the Canton Fair. This kind of deception and abduction is absolutely not allowed."

Cai Jinjin snorted coldly: "Li Weidong, it's meaningless for you to say that. You have the patent for the air fryer. It's not up to you whether you want to litigate or not. Don't litigate with foreign businessmen then.

Won’t the matter be solved? In the final analysis, you still deliberately caused damage!”

Liu Dawei also said from the side: "Director Li, I think what Director Cai said makes sense. As long as you don't pursue patent infringement matters, then foreign businessmen will have no burden. Isn't this something that everyone is happy with!"

"Everyone is happy, I see you are happy!" Li Weidong smiled coldly. He had already seen that Liu Dawei was obviously leaning towards Cai Qianjin.

For Liu Dawei, in order to solve the problem, either Li Weidong must be soft, or Cai Qianjin and his group must be soft.

It is easier to convince Li Weidong alone than to convince Cai Qianjin and others. Of course he has to stand on the side of easy difficulty.

"This Liu Dawei, if you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust! Since you can't uphold justice, then don't blame me for dragging you into the water."

I saw Li Weidong pretending to be surprised, and he said: "Leader, I am doing all this according to your instructions!"

"My instructions? When did I instruct you to sue foreigners?" Liu Dawei was confused by what Li Weidong said.

"Just yesterday! Director Ma and I came to you yesterday to report the issue of the air fryer patent. The instructions you gave us said that we should negotiate with other exhibitors first, and if the negotiation failed, we would resolve it through legal channels. At that time, Director Ma also

I heard it. It’s only been one night, you won’t forget it!”

Li Weidong said and gave Ma Dexing a wink.

Ma Dexing immediately said: "Leader, you said so yesterday."

Before Liu Dawei could defend himself, Li Weidong continued: "So after I left your place yesterday, I immediately went to Director Cai, Director Jiang and the others to negotiate. Director Cai and Director Jiang said that there was nothing to negotiate. Director Cai, Director Jiang, I

Is that correct?"

Cai Qianjin and Jiang Aiguo snorted at the same time, acquiescing to Li Weidong's statement.

Li Weidong continued: "Since the negotiation fails, then I have no choice but to follow the leadership's instructions and go through legal procedures, so of course I will sue those who infringe on my intellectual property rights!"

"Then you can't sue foreign businessmen, right?" Liu Dawei said.

“Leader, don’t worry, I will sue not only foreign businessmen, but also Chinese people. I am already hiring a lawyer. Not one of the companies that produce and sell air fryers at the Canton Fair can escape. I will sue them all! Yours

I will definitely implement the instructions." Li Weidong said deliberately and braggingly.

The last sentence of "implementation" directly dragged Liu Dawei into the water.

Cai Qianjin, Jiang Aiguo and others couldn't help but look at Liu Dawei, their hearts filled with doubts.

"It turns out this is Liu Dawei's instruction!"

"It seems that Liu Dawei has already sided with Li Weidong."

"I can see that Liu Dawei has been singing a double act with Li Weidong for a long time!"

Liu Dawei felt the distrustful eyes of everyone, and he hurriedly defended: "I was just giving you a suggestion!"

"Leader, look what you said, your suggestions are just instructions, aren't they?" Li Weidong said with a smile.

"I..." Liu Dawei was at a loss for words.

The key is that Li Weidong is right! The leader's suggestions are just instructions!

For example, when the leader is inspecting the work, he says, I suggest you what to do next. The subtext is, you have to do what I say!

No idiot would think that the "suggestions" the leader talks about are really just suggestions.
