Chapter 307 It’s Terrifying when You Think About It!

May 3rd.

[IPO Huaxia] received a lawyer’s letter from [NC Company].

The lawyer's letter is very long and professional, nearly 10,000 words in length. The overall meaning is to accuse the IPO company's Apple 4 mobile phone of allegedly infringing on its appearance patent!

Billy, the person in charge of [IPO China], was stunned!

"what's the situation?"

Four apples!

It is a cutting-edge product that truly defines the global mobile phone industry.

Not only is it innovating in the field of technology, but also in terms of appearance. Compared with the previous Apple 3, it was the first major redesign and purchased stainless steel and glass, as well as a new square appearance with rounded corners. One of the designers even worked part-time. Joes, the IPO president, in the copywriting of the upcoming conference, is preparing to debut it as the world's thinnest smartphone, a revolutionary device using a "retina display"...

Billy still remembers being shocked when he first got a prototype of this phone!

Afterwards, I couldn’t put it down and caressed it carefully, as if I had obtained some kind of art!

Not only him, but even the staff of countless IPO companies are looking forward to this mobile phone, which will set off a new revolution in the global mobile phone industry when it comes out!

This is a new definition of technology!

but……

Such a revolutionary product was actually accused of plagiarizing the appearance patent?

Billy read the lawyer's letter very carefully...

After reading it, he was completely shocked!

He checked the corresponding information!

"Oh God, actually in November last year, this Chinese man named Zhang Sheng had already registered the patent for this mobile phone in China and... designed a prototype!"

"In November, at that time, even the prototype of the Apple 4 had just come out, and even the head office was still discussing whether to confirm the appearance..."

"Could it be that there are spies arranged by China in the head office?"

"..."

When he thought of this, Billy immediately called the head office and transmitted the lawyer's letter to the head office.

……………………

American IPO company.

"What exactly is going on!"

Joss, who had always been well-educated, became unusually angry at this moment.

Lawyer’s letter…

Lying quietly on his desk.

A lawyer's letter is a trivial matter. Apple's design patents were registered earlier than China's, and the registration location was in the United States. China's patent lawsuit will definitely not be able to defeat Apple's.

but……

This is not the most surprising thing to Jos. What is most surprising to Jos is that, apart from the LOGO, the mobile phone designed by Zhang Sheng is almost another Apple 4!

Even the mobile phone sample provided by Zhang Sheng in the video is almost exactly the same thickness as the Apple 4.

Joes is convinced that their IPO company has done a very good job of keeping the Apple 4 appearance patent secret. It is impossible for anyone to leak it, and it is impossible for a Chinese person to know about it, right?

He checked the information of this Chinese named Zhang Sheng...

The more I checked, the more incredible it became!

Last year, this Chinese man was still in debt worth several million, and it was impossible for him to go abroad. Moreover, according to the information, the people Zhang Sheng had contact with from last year to this year...

There are no people from Apple at all, and even if the patent appearance is leaked, it cannot be leaked to Zhang Sheng, who was worthless at the time, right?

Halfway through smoking a cigar, Joss threw it into the trash can. The more he thought about it, the more surprised he became!

"Weiss, what do you think about this matter?"

"In Chinese terms, he should be cheating!" Weiss took a deep breath.

"Have you ever seen such a professional touch?"

Weiss looked at Joss's cold expression and could only remain silent for a moment.

This thing was so weird that she didn't even know what was going on!

"Weiss, first, we have to call the police. Our IPO company must start a thorough investigation of the "patent leakage" from top to bottom,"

"Second, Apple 4 is about to be released. Our public relations department in China must insist that it is a leak of patent information and that this Chinese person has stolen our trade secrets!"

"Third, hire the best lawyer and litigate with them!"

"..."

After getting angry, Joss finally calmed down, and then he looked at Weiss.

"Okay!" Weiss nodded, took the information and left José's office happily.

Just as the front foot left, the back foot Joes received a call from a friend.

"Mr. Jos?"

"Mr. Green, what's wrong?"

"Yesterday, we at Universal Pictures purchased the U.S. distribution rights for a horror film called "7 Days to Die." It premieres today. I would like to invite you to watch it..."

"Mr. Green, you should know that I have no interest in these horror movies..."

"Mr. Joes, I just heard that you were issued a lawyer's letter in China, and the person who sent you the lawyer's letter was a Chinese named Zhang Sheng, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Green, are you making this phone call to question the leakage of my appearance patent, or are you mocking me?"

"The company behind Zhang Sheng is called [NC Entertainment], and the production company of "7 Days to Die" is [NC Entertainment]!"

"so what?"

"He designed your cell phone to be a cell phone where the devil is stationed!"

"What?"

"I'll wait for you at eight o'clock in the evening!"

…………………………

Joss doesn't like watching movies. The only movies he watches are literary movies.

Horror movies...

He rarely watches them.

But today, he still walked into the screening room of "7 Days to Die".

He saw his good friend Green sitting in the last row near the door and waved at him. Green is the head of the foreign trade department of Universal Pictures, responsible for purchasing high-quality movies from overseas.

When Joss sat down, Green smiled: "The movie "7 Days to Die" has caused an unprecedented sensation in France. In the field of horror movies, Mr. Leon, the chairman of Cannes this year, even praised this movie as a work that challenges the limit of human fear senses!"

"Yeah."

Joss didn't smile, he just nodded. He has always been a very strict person. On the way, he thought for a long time and couldn't figure out how the so-called [NC Entertainment] small company in China knew the appearance patent of Apple 4 in advance. Finally, he thought of the Chinese technology giant [Yaohua Technology] and felt that [Yaohua Technology] was behind all this.

He became more and more suspicious that their company had a "spy" from China.

However, when the FBI came to investigate this afternoon, they couldn't find anything...

They checked all the computer files of the relevant employees, the chat records for nearly a year, and even the information of their relatives.

The results showed that everything was normal.

It was because it was normal that everything was abnormal!

"By the way, Mr. Jos, you don't have a heart disease, right?"

"I'm fine!"

"That's good..."

Jos felt the lights in the screening room dim.

Then, the screen in the distance lit up.

He looked at the screen, but he couldn't figure out what went wrong with his iPhone 4 from research and development to today's promotional video.

No!

When the Chinese named Zhang Sheng registered the patent, we didn't even decide on the appearance of the iPhone 4. How could he be sure that we would use these? Did he register all the patents?

Or, is China's patent department suspected of fraud? No, China has always been very strict about patent and copyright disputes, especially disputes with China!

At this moment, a strange sound interrupted Jos's thoughts.

Jos stared at the actors on the screen.

The mobile phones used by those actors were all iPhone 4 phones. No, not iPhone 4, but the phone that claimed that iPhone 4 infringed the appearance patent!

Jos watched the beginning of the movie, where two girls were discussing "urban weird stories".

Then, the ringtone of that phone rang.

Jos' eyes widened.

The melody of that phone turned out to be the unreleased ringtone marimba of iPhone 4!

No, it's not the ringtone marimba. Listening carefully, Jos still felt that there were a few notes and melody rhythms that were not quite the same...

But, even if it's not the purest ringtone marimba, ordinary people still sound a little bit like it!

Is this really original from [NC Entertainment]?

Impossible!

How could it be original?

The ringtone marimba was already released in 2007, but it was the first time it was used in the iPhone 4 phone!

But, this Chinese man named Zhang Sheng actually used this ringtone in the "Apple 4" mobile phone in the movie!

How could there be such a coincidence in this world?

Could it be that our IPO company's appearance patent was leaked last year, and even the ringtone of the mobile phone was leaked?

Jos suddenly felt a chill deep in his heart!

This chill was more shocking to him than watching a horror movie!

He stood up.

"Mr. Jos, now is not the exciting part, you don't want to watch it?"

"I'll make a call!"

"Okay!"

Jos stood up.

Then he left the screening room and called Weiss with his mobile phone.

"Mr. Jos, I've noticed this, too, but I really don't know what went wrong. From the time we were developing the iPhone 4 to the time it was officially finalized, none of our internal engineers had any contact with the outside world, and the person in charge had never been abroad. Their daily phone call records were normal, and it's impossible to fake calls. Maybe, all this is a coincidence?"

"It's so coincidental, is it still a coincidence?"

"Then..."

"Keep checking!"

"Okay!"

Jos said a lot on the phone.

After he finished speaking, a gust of cold wind blew, causing him to shiver slightly.

Then, he walked into the screening room.

Immediately afterwards, he heard the audience in the screening room screaming constantly, as if they were frightened by something.

He looked at the screen.

His pupils shrank suddenly!
