Chapter 205 Did I Insult You? (Please Order a Monthly Ticket)
Chapter 205 Did I insult you? (Please order a monthly ticket)
April 14
Six to seven hundred meters away from the H-level Intermediate People's Court,
H City Azure Qiantang, a Luxury Collection Hotel.
This is a high-end hotel, and the Ambassador Suite costs 9,888 yuan a day, which is about the same as the Presidential Suite.
The 2,803 ambassador suites are occupied by Ryan, the vice president and technical director of the IGP headquarters. He came to Huaguo H City from Massachusetts in the eastern part of the beautiful country a few days ago for the patent infringement case between IGP and Xinghai Group.
The amount involved is relatively large, and he is also familiar with the technical principles of IGP lasers. This time he came to China in person. It's just that he doesn't understand Chinese, and it's not convenient for him to communicate in court, so he has to attend the court tomorrow.
If necessary, one's own personnel will ask him to explain, which is allowed by the court.
After dinner, at eight o'clock in the evening, he asked the people who will appear in court tomorrow to have a small meeting in his suite.
Participants included Lu Yiming, technical director of IGP Imperial City Branch, Ouyang Yunfeng, general manager, two entrusted lawyers and an interpreter.
Lu Yiming, Ouyang Yunfeng and the two lawyers could understand English. After everyone sat down, Ryan asked directly: "Tomorrow's trial, let me stress again, how are the materials prepared?"
Lu Yiming was in charge of collecting information, and he replied: "Mr. Ryan, everything is ready, but I don't quite understand who will appear in court for Xinghai Group. Their chairman, Mu Yang, should be present. We didn't expect him to be A sophomore, who is less than twenty years old this year, according to the information we inquired, the laser was actually imitated by him, do you think it is possible."
"Mr. Lu, don't underestimate him!
After all, Xinghai Group is now a relatively large company, and it is developing very rapidly. After Ryan finished speaking solemnly, he smiled again,
"However, you said that a college student who is less than twenty years old and has not yet graduated has developed a laser!
Haha, I don't believe this!
The research and development of lasers requires a wide range of knowledge, and it is very profound, which cannot be done by undergraduates. The R&D department of our headquarters has dozens of laser experts and researchers, and hundreds of experienced engineers. Most of them are graduates from top universities. , The 1000W fiber laser is the research result of our company for many years, and it is not something that a rookie college student can understand.
Of course, in terms of earning ability, we are indeed inferior to Mu Yang, he is indeed a business genius.
A college student established a group company in only one or two years, and it is said that his net worth has exceeded two billion US dollars, which is amazing.
However, as far as the matter is concerned, I still don't believe that he has research and development capabilities. Do you think he has alien technology? What a joke! Ha ha. "
After Ryan finished speaking, he found a question: "Have you disassembled their lasers?" He has never seen the actual Xinghai Group's lasers, but only seen the photos recently. After all, in MEI country, Xinghai Group cannot be obtained. The laser is disassembled and analyzed.
It is impossible to ship a piece of equipment from Huaguo to MEI country within a month.
But he judged that a company that has not been established for a long time must not be able to develop world-class lasers.
"The exterior is relatively similar, but the appearance is not infringing; the key internal components are similar to ours, and we don't know the deep technology."
Lu Yiming seriously replied that they recently bought a hand-held laser welding equipment from Xinghai Group and came back to dismantle it. However, the IGP Imperial City Branch was originally focused on sales of products, after-sales service and applications. The technical department can't understand the deeper things.
Both their branches and headquarters believed that the Xinghai Group did not have the ability to develop lasers, and must have imitated their lasers.
As for Mu Yang, they admire him very much. He is worth tens of billions, but the two parties are competitors, and they are still rivals. There is no doubt that Lu Yiming, as the company's top executive, must be on the side of IGP.
If he doesn't work for IGP, Lu Yiming is on the side of Xinghai Group in terms of national justice. Of course, he hopes that domestic companies can defeat foreign companies. But I have worked in IGP for many years, and I have a deep affection for the company, and my family's expenses also depend on the company's salary.
Moreover, as a mechanical engineer, he despises domestic companies imitating foreign companies' technology. He is also well aware that most companies in China have poor technical background. As far as he is concerned, although he is the technical director, it is not technology, but means to get into this position. In addition, he is good at foreign languages, so he is more suitable for this position. That's all.
As for the understanding of lasers, the superficial level is fine, but the in-depth level is not enough to understand with his undergraduate level knowledge.
If not, the domestic leading laser company Xiaozu Laser has a research and development team of hundreds of people and three academicians, and the lasers it develops are still inferior to IGP.
The machinery industry is too broad, and some industries require a deep amount of knowledge to study thoroughly. For example, Ryan, the technical director from the headquarters, graduated from the Ivy League MIT in MEI with a Ph. I admire it very much.
"That's good, let's go back and rest early, and deal with this war tomorrow! If there are technical problems in the trial, just ask the judge to consult me, and you can translate." Ryan is a little relieved. The technical department can't figure out that the laser is also normal.
He is also looking forward to tomorrow's trial. If he wins the case, IGP will win nearly $100 million in lawsuit money, which is much faster than selling products.
"Okay, no problem." Lu Yiming nodded, and left with the other staff.
***********
On April 15th, the weather was not very good. The sky was drizzling, and it had been raining non-stop since six o'clock in the morning.
April is already a rainy season, which is very annoying for people in the city.
Only the old farmers in the countryside prefer this weather, wishing it would rain for a few more days.
At nine o'clock this morning, the IGP Imperial Capital Branch and Xinghai Group's intellectual property case was heard in the Intermediate People's Court of City H.
Xinghai Group is the defendant, and Mu Yang is the legal representative of the company. He will be present this time.
If it is not a case that must appear in court, the court will make a default judgment if the first subpoena is not submitted;
If it is a case that must appear in court, if you refuse to appear in court after two subpoenas, you can be compulsorily summoned to appear in court. The time between the two times is generally not too long, depending on the court's schedule.
The defendant in this case is the company, not Mu Yang himself. He does not have to go, but he must entrust an agent ad litem. The agent ad litem can be an adult relative, a lawyer, or a senior executive of the company. A power of attorney will do.
The defendant's failure to appear in court is a manifestation of giving up his litigation rights. Due to his failure to fully express his opinions on the relevant facts, evidence, and laws of the case, the judgment result may have an adverse impact on him.
As the owner of the 1000W fiber laser patent, Mu Yang is the most suitable one, and only he can analyze and explain the difference from the IGP laser.
Today is very important for Xinghai Group. Song Xuelu, the three senior executives of Xinghai Group, and the legal team are all here.
However, the plaintiff usually has two or three people in court. The defendant Mu Yang and the litigation representative (the entrusted lawyer Luo Xiang and the other entrusted lawyer Zheng Li), and the rest of the people can only observe in the auditorium and are not allowed to speak unless they are approved. Consent of the presiding judge.
On the IGP side, Lu Yiming, the technical director of the Imperial City branch, and two other lawyers were present in court today. The plaintiff also included the general manager of the IGP Imperial Branch, and Ryan, the vice president and technical director of the IGP headquarters, flew over from MEI to participate, but he couldn't speak the language and was inconvenient to attend the court, so he had to sit in and have someone translate for him.
This is a public hearing, allowing the public and media reporters to enter the courtroom to observe.
If it involves state secrets, personal privacy or juvenile cases, it is generally not open to the public, and the public and media reporters are not allowed to enter the hearing.
Moreover, if this trial involves commercial secrets, Mu Yang, as a party, can also apply for a closed trial.
However, Mu Yang felt that it didn't matter, and he didn't apply for a closed trial. Instead, he wanted to use the media to publicize how Xinghai Group defeated the international laser giant.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Mu Yang and the company's people drove from the company, and arrived at the H City Intermediate People's Court at half past eight.
At this time, at the gate of the Intermediate People's Court, more than a dozen media outlets were standing there, waiting for the protagonist to appear.
Recently, Mu Yang has dominated the hot news on various portal sites for a day. His photos have been circulated on the Internet. If he walks on the street, he might be recognized by passers-by. His popularity is no worse than that of ordinary second-tier stars.
Today, Mu Yang is dressed formally, wearing a navy blue suit, red tie, and casual leather shoes, giving him the image of a domineering president.
The Rolls-Royce stopped slowly under the steps of the courthouse. Mu Yang just got off the Rolls-Royce and became the focus of the audience as soon as he appeared.
However, it was drizzling outside, and the media reporters at the gate had already seen Mu Yang and others coming.
Before Mu Yang reached the gate, he was surrounded by more than a dozen reporters regardless of the drizzle. Fortunately, Li Yi and the temporary bodyguards stopped him.
However, these reporters didn't care so much, they cut in and asked Mu Yang loudly.
Originally, Mu Yang didn't plan to conduct an interview at this time, but some questions asked by the reporters made him very annoyed.
"Mr. Mu, how did the Xinghai Group steal technology from foreign companies? How did it imitate the internationally advanced lasers?"
"Mr. Mu, if Xinghai Group loses this lawsuit, how do you plan to compensate IPG? Do you still plan to continue purchasing IPG's lasers?"
He could hear these two questions clearly.
At this moment, he had just walked under the eaves, put away his umbrella, and frowning at the reporter who asked the question with a blank expression, "Are you a reporter from XX?"
This beautiful female reporter, about twenty-five years old, heard Mu Yang's words, held up the reporter's interview sign in front of her chest, brushed the roots of her hair by her ear, and smiled confidently: "Yes, Mr. Mu, please." answer my question."
Seeing her confident expression, Mu Yang only glanced at her, then ignored her directly, and said to other reporters: "This kind of words that are said without evidence, Xinghai Group will not accept interviews from such reporters in the future, and XX newspaper is also not welcome. reporter."
XX female reporter's face froze, she didn't expect to be directly criticized by Mu Yang, she became polite and asked directly: "Although I have no evidence, is what I said unreasonable?
Mr. Mu, as a sophomore, you don’t have enough knowledge, how can you develop an internationally advanced laser? Xinghai Group is only a company that has been established for more than a year. If it is so easy to develop, other large domestic companies in the laser industry , has already been developed. "
Mu Yang smiled lightly. Since she was not polite, he replied tit for tat: "As a Chinese, you are not afraid of being cast aside by the Chinese when you say such depressing words. Why do you think that foreign things must be the most important thing?" Okay? Their research and development capabilities are the strongest?
Shouldn't domestic researchers be allowed to surpass them?
You ask the scientific and technological personnel engaged in research and development across the country whether they agree with your statement.
Also, when will your brain be changed?
What's wrong with me being a student, tens of millions of students across the country have offended you?
Saying such insulting words to students, have you never read a book? Still uneducated? "
In terms of wearing a moral hat, Mu Yang will also do it.
When his temper came up, he would definitely fight to the death for someone who hit the gun.
Mu Yang saw that the XX female reporter was a little angry, and before she could refute, he continued: "When you asked this sentence, you felt that you had a brain problem and that you were useless, so you thought that everyone was as stupid as you and couldn't build a market value billions of enterprises.
Before you ask this question, can you use your brain and seriously investigate how many independently developed products Xinghai Group has!
Although our company has only been established for more than a year, it has created many world firsts, such as the world's first handheld laser welding equipment, the world's first plasma spray welding equipment for surfacing STL, the world's top level lasers, the world's first The top-level arc welding machine breaks the monopoly of foreign technology, and the monthly revenue starts from hundreds of thousands to one billion yuan. Do you think you can do it?
What you can't do, why do you think others can't do it? "
While Mu Yang criticized the XX female reporter, he also did not forget to promote his company's new products. You must know that there are so many media recordings at this time.
The XX female reporter was so angry that she lost her mind, her eyes were like knives, and she scraped from Mu Yang's neck, pointing at Mu Yang: "Mu Yang, you insulted me, I want to sue you!"
"Which word did I insult you?"
"You say I'm out of my mind, you say I'm stupid, don't you?"
"If you weren't, why would you ask such a stupid question? What I said is the truth, and you admit it yourself, so it's not an insult. Also, I don't want to answer such a stupid question like you again, and lower my reputation." IQ.
If you like to sue me, then sue. My legal team will definitely welcome you very much. If you slandered our company just now, I just need you to settle it. It is normal for a company with a market value of tens of billions in Xinghai Group to lose several million. , You have to pay if you don't want to. Mu Yang waved his hand, ignoring the XX female reporter.
His eyes were as sharp as a bird of prey, which made the XX female reporter terrified.
In fact, when Mu Yang asked her to pay several million in compensation, the XX female reporter was already flustered. After glaring at Mu Yang, she turned around viciously and left quickly with anger.
When other media reporters saw this scene, they couldn't help laughing.
At the same time, it was the first time for everyone to really get to know this extremely young chairman of the group. His words were so sharp that even a young and beautiful woman could be killed!
Song Xuelu stood with the top management of Xinghai Group, and seeing Mu Yang being caught by the media reporters, they were a little worried at first, but when they saw him, they were able to deal with the reporters with ease, and his words were sharp, so there was no need to worry, and instead they looked at him from an admiring perspective Performance.
Bravo!
Everyone was looking forward to it. When Mu Yang was in court for a while, it should be no problem to deal with making things difficult.
