Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 765 Patent Certificate
"Is this the information on all the foreign businessmen who purchased subwoofer speakers?" Duan Yun asked after taking the information from Director Liu and reading it carefully.

"Basically, it's all there. Those people in the office are very troublesome. They asked me several times, and I managed to find a way to copy these materials for you..." Director Liu said as if asking for credit.

Although Duan Yun's rank is not as high as Director Liu's, Duan Yun is now a popular figure in the provincial department, and he shines at the Canton Fair this time. The future can be described as limitless, so Director Liu is still very respectful to Duan Yun.

"Director Liu, you have helped me a lot this time." Duan Yun smiled and praised Director Liu, and then said: "This time our province was able to get so many foreign trade orders, and half of the credit is also yours. If you want to talk to me, I have to talk to him about what happened at the Canton Fair..."

"Hehe, I'm just looking for something in his position, and I don't want any great credit." Director Liu said so, but his face was already smiling like a flower.

"It would be great to have the list of information of these merchants." Duan Yun said with satisfaction after collecting the information.

"Duan Yun, what is the use of this foreign businessman's information?" Director Liu was a little puzzled, and then said: "Our Canton Fair group has regulations that do not allow private contact with foreign businessmen to discuss business. If you violate the rules, you will be punished." You will be punished, and you will be disqualified from participating in the Canton Fair in the future, the consequences are very serious, you have to think carefully..."

Director Liu obviously thought that Duan Yun wanted to accept foreign businessmen to sell products alone, so he reminded him.

"Don't worry, I won't violate the rules of the Canton Fair." Duan Yun smiled slightly, and then said: "As for the order, I think some foreign businessmen will come to me tomorrow to negotiate the purchase of speakers."

"Take the initiative to negotiate with you to buy audio?"

Hearing what Duan Yun said, not only Director Liu, but also Zhang Xiulan, Yu Shulan and others at the same table showed surprise expressions, obviously they couldn't believe Duan Yun's words.

After all, it is now the closing stage of the Canton Fair, the peak period of transactions has long passed, and Duan Yun did not sell a single speaker for more than a week before, and the price is much higher than that of his peers. How could those foreign businessmen take the initiative to buy Duan Yun’s products? .

"Then you eat first, I'll go do something." Duan Yun was about to get up and leave.

"Hey? Duan Yun, why did you leave without eating?" Director Liu asked in surprise when he saw this.

"The food in the guest house is not to my taste. I haven't eaten the snacks in the Guangzhou night market for a long time." Duan Yun replied with a smile, then got up and left.

After leaving the guest house, Duan Yun got on a rickshaw and went directly to the White Swan Hotel in the center of Guangzhou.

The White Swan Hotel is the earliest five-star hotel in China. The hotel opened in 1983. It was built by Mr. Huo Yingdong and the Guangdong Provincial Government through investment and cooperation. It is currently the most luxurious hotel in China.

Duan Yun came to this hotel because most of the foreign businessmen who bought subwoofer speakers stayed in this hotel in the list of businessmen that Director Liu gave him before. name and hotel room number, so Duan Yun can easily find them.

The security of Baiyun Hotel is still very good. Anyone who goes to the hotel to find someone needs to show their ID at the front desk and accept some inquiries. Only after there is no problem can they be released.

However, Duan Yun was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, his leather shoes were well polished, and he could speak idiomatic English. He looked like a Hong Kong businessman, so Duan Yun didn't even show his work permit, so he went directly into the hotel.

According to the hotel room number on the information, Duan Yun first came to room 5 on the fifth floor, adjusted his tie, and knocked lightly on the door.

The door opened, and an old foreign man in pajamas appeared in front of Duan Yun. After sizing up Duan Yun, his face showed doubts.

"Hello, are you Mr. Brian?" Duan Yun greeted with a smile.

According to the information, this old white man should be Brian, the purchasing manager of Marks and Spencer, a famous British retailer.

"Who's calling?" asked the old white man.

"I am Duan Yun, the manager of Tianyin Electronics Factory." Duan Yun showed his work ID before speaking, and then said to Brian, "I have something very important to talk to you about. Is it convenient for you now?"

"Is it important? Come in!" Brian hesitated, and finally let Duan Yun into the room.

"Mr. Brian, did you purchase a batch of subwoofer speakers from Beihe Electronics Factory the day before yesterday?" Duan Yun asked Brian directly after entering the room.

"Yes, this subwoofer product is a very good design concept. The product demonstration given by Beihe Electronics Factory also made us feel very shocked, so I signed a batch of orders with them..." Brian was very calm Said to Duan Yun.

"Mr. Bryan, your vision is very unique. This product is indeed a very good design. It must have good commercial potential in your UK market." Duan Yun smiled slightly, and then said: "But I think Just to remind you, the subwoofer speaker you bought from Beihe Electronics Factory is actually a patent infringement product, so if you want to avoid unnecessary losses, I suggest you cancel the order with their factory immediately!"

"Patent infringement?" Hearing this, Brian was stunned for a moment, and then asked Duan Yun: "Has this product already applied for a patent?"

"This is the patent we applied for in Hong Kong last year..." Duan Yun said, took out a copy of the patent document from his pocket, handed it to Brian and said: "Mr. Brian, the products of Beihe Electronics Factory are completely stolen. It is a serious infringement of our factory's patented technology. If your company buys their products and sells them in the European market, it will face serious legal risks..."

Duan Yun had already applied for a patent for subwoofer audio in Hong Kong a month ago, and the patent certificate had been kept in the safe of the Guangzhou office. Duan Yun went to the Guangzhou office to get a copy of the patent certificate the day before yesterday.

Although there is no patent law in China at present, and Chinese people don't know anything about patent infringement or simply don't pay attention to it, but internationally, patent infringement is indeed a very serious crime, and any infringement of patents will result in huge fines. There is even the risk of going to jail.

Sure enough, after getting the copy of the patent that Duan Yun handed him, Brian read it once, and his face suddenly became serious...
