When Li Jin asked Zhao Zili to set up a mobile phone manufacturing company, this was just a preliminary layout for the explosion of smartphones in the next two to three years.
Mobile phone manufacturing is not an easy task even in 2020, so Li Jin does not expect Zhao Zili to make much achievements.
The important thing is to first make a layout in the relevant industry chain, which is commonly known as grabbing position.
The mobile phone industry is an industry that Li Jin attaches great importance to in the future. Its importance is second only to Ali and Teng Xun. In Li Jin's heart, his priority is even higher than that of real estate companies.
After all, the real estate industry is too dependent on policies, and future facts have proven that the government cannot support the development of the real estate industry forever.
Therefore, Li Jin not only asked Zhao Zili to set up a mobile phone manufacturing company, but there were also related projects in progress at the electronic equipment manufacturing company.
However, this was not an easy task, so Li Jin did not provide much help to Zhao Zili except for a sum of funds.
But now, Zhao Zili is actually accused?
"What's going on?" Li Jin asked with a frown.
"I was too careless." Zhao Zili smiled bitterly and told the whole story.
"Half a year ago, I found a team with the funds you gave me and invited them to join the company. The leader of this team is Qi Cheng. He was originally from a leading domestic mobile phone manufacturer called Feidao in Ningcheng.
Chief Designer.”
"After he joined the company, he led the team to overcome several difficulties in succession. Our first prototype was successfully developed last week."
"But I didn't expect that the news would leak out and the Air Navigation Company knew about it. They actually said that their patented technology was used in our mobile phones and wanted to take us to court."
Hearing this, Li Jin raised his eyebrows slightly.
Feidao Mobile Phone Company, he was no stranger to this company.
When Nogoya mobile phones were popular around the world, there were still independent brands in China that could capture half of the market. For example, the Air Navigation Company once occupied 30% of the domestic mobile phone market share at its peak.
In an era when Nogoya mobile phone was a religion, this was almost a miracle.
Feidao Company, together with another company called Jinli, started the era of copycat domestic mobile phones.
Most people may not know that the marquee was first developed by this aviation guidance company.
At least in the current domestic mobile phone industry, Feidian Company can be regarded as the leading giant, and it is definitely not comparable to the new company just established by Zhao Zili.
In this case, why did the flight guidance company target Zhao Zili?
“Is there really a patent infringement?”
Li Jin asked a crucial question.
This is also a matter of principle.
If it really does exist, no matter how much the loss is, Li Jin can only ask Zhao Zili to compensate for the compensation and stop the infringement.
"Absolutely not!"
Zhao Zili's tone was full of determination and anger.
"You know me, I would never do such a thing. After the incident, Qi Cheng and I studied with his team for a long time, and found that the infringing patent mentioned by the flight guidance company was originally owned by Qi Cheng himself
It’s a personal patent and has nothing to do with the flight guidance company.”
"Qi Cheng also told me that Qian Jincheng, the boss of the flight guidance company, has always been very dissatisfied with his resignation. He once said that any domestic company that dared to hire Qi Cheng would be against him."
"I think this is the revenge of Qian Jincheng, the boss of the flight guidance company, on me and Qi Cheng."
Li Jin looked gloomy and said, "Where are you now?"
"In Ningcheng, I plan to come over today to talk to Qian Jincheng and see if this matter can be resolved peacefully."
Zhao Zili sighed softly and said: "The flight guidance company is not afraid of litigation, but we cannot afford it. We invested too much in R&D before, and now the company is very strapped for funds."
"Finally, the first batch of products will be released. If we don't rely on this product to enter the market and recover some costs, the company's continued operations will be problematic."
"Moreover, we have already spent almost all of our investment in publicity. If the lawsuit of the Air Navigation Company is not resolved, we will not be able to bring the product to the market."
"At that time, even the money invested in early publicity will have been wasted, and a lot of breached contracts will have to be shouldered. I think Qian Jincheng saw this, so he chose to take action at this juncture."
Ningcheng is not far from Shanghai, and it only takes more than an hour's drive between the two places by expressway.
According to Li Jin's arrangements, the next important person to meet is tomorrow, so Li Jin directly said: "You go and talk first. I happen to be in Shanghai now. From here to Ningcheng, you should have a good talk by then."
Yes, we will discuss the specific situation when we meet."
Zhao Zili said excitedly: "You want to come in person? That would be best. Let's talk after you arrive."
After hanging up the phone, Li Jin asked Liu Jun to change direction and take the expressway to Ningcheng.
After thinking about it, he called Su Wanqing in Qianhai City and asked her to use company resources to investigate the flight guidance company and its owner Qian Jincheng.
And just when Li Jin's big Bentley entered the highway, Ningcheng, more than 90 kilometers away.
Standing at the entrance of the exaggerated factory area of the Air Navigation Company, Zhao Zili sighed: "I wonder when our company will be able to have such a large scale?"
Qi Cheng, who was no stranger to this place, chuckled and said, "Don't worry, it will be there soon."
"Qian Jincheng is not easy to deal with. He has a bad temper and a domineering personality. Mr. Zhao, you must be mentally prepared."
Faced with Qi Cheng's reminder, Zhao Zili shrugged and said: "We are here to settle the old feud, not to quarrel. Now we are weak. As long as we can make the company develop, it doesn't matter if I lower my head."
"Besides, we have also brought you the certification documents of your personal patent. It can be said that we all have the advantage. No matter how overbearing he is, he will go too far."
Looking at the confident Zhao Zili, Qi Cheng was a little worried. He shook his head and said: "Mr. Zhao, you have never dealt with Qian Jincheng, so you don't know what he is like. If this person is so easy to deal with, I won't do it."
Leaving the company where I have been for more than ten years."
Patting Qi Cheng's shoulder, Zhao Zili said boldly: "No matter if he is a god or a ghost, you must see him."
While talking, the two entered the office building of the flight guidance company.
