Chapter 495 Wedding and Negative Public Opinion
Zhou Rui narrowed his eyes.
Ha!
The news was not long. Judging from the time of release, it was around five or six in the morning. It seemed that it was released at night on the other side of the ocean and was delivered here just in the morning.
Zhou Rui had no impression of Wistron.
Drones are a very big concept. Even if they are just flying ones, this concept also includes many branches.
But if it is a consumer drone, "Kaiming Intelligence" is definitely the first to try it.
Before the company started operating, Gan Yuan also checked whether there were any competitors, but she never heard of "Wistron Power Manufacturing" from beginning to end.
Zhou Rui searched for it and found that there was no news about this company on the Chinese Internet, but what was interesting was that there were a lot of news about "accusing Kaiming Intelligence of stealing technology patents".
The major domestic news websites have reprinted it, and the content is similar, just like copying and pasting.
Li Wenqian asked cautiously: "Zhou Rui, will it affect your company?"
Zhou Rui shook his head indifferently: "There will be no substantial impact at present. Kaiming Intelligence's patent network has been formed, and there are complete barriers even in North America. This looks more like a scam."
It's not surprising. Kaiming Intelligence has been running wildly on an exclusive track. Its terrifying ability to attract money has frequently attracted social attention since its release. Not only in China, but also abroad, there are many eyes staring at it.
He just doesn't read these on weekdays, but there are a lot of reports about Kaiming Intelligence and even himself.
If this company wants to attract attention, then "Vision Power Manufacturing" has succeeded.
This incident did not affect Zhou Rui's mood. After eating, Zhou Rui got up and said goodbye.
After Zhou Rui left, Li Wenqian was still worried and searched a lot of news. He found that the spread of this incident was still quite powerful.
Kaiming Intelligence is already a standout. In recent times, it has been regarded as one of the signs of "Made in China" and "Chinese Technology". Even if Kaiming Intelligence has not advertised itself with this, everyone's perception is indeed like this.
It is unique in the world and carries a lot.

Zhou Rui got in the car and headed for Houtan.
Houtan, as the name suggests, is behind the Bund.
It is not as prosperous as the Bund, and it is even a little deserted, but after all, it is adjacent to the river and has a beautiful environment, so some specific places are concentrated here, such as venues specifically used for weddings.
It is built with some interest, at least it looks quite gorgeous from the outside.
Almost at the same time, Han Ziyin also arrived here. She started from her home.
Zhou Rui helped Han Ziyin tidy up her scarf, and the two entered together.
As soon as they entered the door, there was a sign-in desk, which was also a place to receive gifts. Zhou Rui had prepared it and took out a red envelope like a brick from his pocket.
Ten thousand yuan, not a small amount, but not too much.
In addition to personal financial resources, gifts also depend on the distance and closeness of the relationship. Yu Shu and Xue Li are also relatively good friends, so it’s okay to give a little more.
But there is a "boss-employee" relationship, so you can't give too much, otherwise other employees will feel unbalanced.
The person who registered was a female relative from an unknown side. Perhaps she had been specifically told before, so she recognized Zhou Rui almost at first sight and immediately stood up to greet him.
"Mr. Zhou, you are so honored to be here!"
After a few polite words, Zhou Rui smiled and told them to continue their work, and then went to sit at table number one.
He arrived relatively late, and there were already quite a few people sitting in the hall. The background music that he couldn't name was played very loudly. Almost everyone from the Sixiang Materials Research Institute had arrived, but there was no sign of the bride and groom. They should be preparing in the backstage.
With Yu Shu's body shape, it would probably be quite difficult for him to wear a well-fitting suit.
After about half an hour, the seats were basically full, and the lights in the hall dimmed.
Just then, Zhou Rui heard the hurried sound of high heels, turned around, and saw Gan Yuan trotting over.
"Mr. Zhou has a situation"
She had just called Zhou Rui, but Zhou Rui didn't hear it.
Zhou Rui said, "Is it because of that Vis Power Company? The news accusing us."
Gan Yuan nodded nervously.
Zhou Rui said calmly: "Don't worry, sit down first, the bride and groom are about to enter."
As soon as the voice fell, the door was pushed open, and the two newlyweds, Yu Shu and Xue Li, walked into the hall slowly with a serious face.
Gan Yuan could only suppress her anxiety and sat next to Zhou Rui.
The wedding went on as usual, the bride and groom entered, and the emcee talked nonsense. Zhou Rui even noticed that Yu Shu's suit was the first black suit that he bought for negotiation with Rong Fei, and he was reluctant to remove the label after buying it.
This guy is really stingy!
Of course, it may also be because it is not easy to buy clothes that suit his body shape.
To be honest, Yu Shu is not a handsome guy, and Xue Li is not a beauty.
Long-term school life and scientific research work have given the two a unique "wooden" feeling.
But the two stood together, and in the emcee's endless chatter, they looked at each other. In that look, they both saw each other's fatigue and helplessness, and then smiled at each other.
A feeling of "this is a good marriage" came to mind.
When it was Zhou Rui's turn to speak, he didn't speak for long, which was in line with his usual practice.
He was not involved in the two people's acquaintance, but he was a witness to their love. He briefly talked about some interesting things in the laboratory, then said some blessings, and then walked off the stage to applause.
In the lively wedding scene, Gan Yuan was restless all the time, her mind was entirely on her mobile phone, and she kept flipping through something.
Since it was a holiday, everyone's response was not that timely. Gan Yuan received a call from Guan Ge on the way here.
She only found out about it after many people reported this on the official Weibo account of "Enlightened Intelligence".
She didn't take it too seriously at first. How formal was Kaishin Intelligence's patent network and how advanced was the technology? How could she not know whether it was copied from other people's work?
How many things are designed by the boss himself, how many technologies are too advanced to be put on the market and can only be supplied to the military industry. Even a consumer product toy that the boss does not value can become an instant hit.
How dare these people! Where has the face gone?
It may be difficult for netizens to tell the difference, but Gan Yuan herself is very convinced that this "Weiss Power Manufacturing" is not even stupid, it is pure evil and pure fraud.
Like Zhou Rui, she was not too impatient at first, but after getting off the car, she received comments from Guan Ge on various forums, post bars, and even the official blog.
It was discovered that the direction of public opinion was tending to develop in a bad direction.
"It turned out to be plagiarism. Fortunately, I praised their products online."
"If a domestic brand is still so expensive, it must be a backlash."
"Just cut leeks. You can't escape if you live in the country. If you can, leave as soon as possible."
"Upstairs, take out your receipt and dry it in the sun. I'll see how much you've been cut."
"I have said before that drones have long been available in foreign countries, as well as the frog in the well and my barking dog. Why are they silenced now? Without foreign technology, how can we have any enlightenment? We must face up to the gap. We still have a lot to do. A long way to go.”
"The matter has not yet been finalized, and you are more anxious than the judge."
"They are all leftovers from foreign countries. Ten years ago, Japan used drones to spray pesticides, and they also boasted about the 'God of Agriculture' to defraud subsidies. It's pitiful for the taxes we pay."
"You traitor upstairs, I see you again. Didn't you say last time that Japanese food is the healthiest and never uses pesticides? Why are you contradicting yourself?"
"Everything exported to China will be beaten. If we don't hit, the Chinese people won't be used to it. You should eat more."
"Owner! Isn't this kind of dog forbidden to speak?"
"Do you know what freedom of speech is? Poor guy."
Maybe it was because when it swept the market before, some groups didn’t know from which angle to spray, but now they have found a breakthrough.
They don't care which company "Weisi Power Manufacturing" is, they only know that it is foreign, and foreign companies must be good.
I don’t care what the other party says about the infringing patent, I just know how foreigners can lie!
In addition, "enlightened intelligence" has been subtly being labeled as "Chinese technology" recently, and many people who usually don't care about drones have jumped out.
When it comes to the old hot topic of "comparison between East and West", everyone has a very high combat effectiveness, and often they can't discuss it for more than two sentences before they start a large-scale attack, alluding to various problems, and they are full of hostility at the same time.
Gan Yuan's blood pressure soared.
She could not wait to drag her beloved boss back to the company right away, and then call all the people responsible for related business out of their vacations to hold an emergency meeting.
The boss was still applauding "Hi Dad" for his speech. It could be seen that Zhou Rui was really blessing him sincerely. Gan Yuan pursed her lips and could only tell herself to keep calm.
