I was born again with 100 million

Chapter 271 Suoni Company's Plan!
Island country, the headquarters of Suomu Company.

President Naoki Kawai finally had to take time off to deal with the patent dispute over USB flash drives.

As a multinational Fortune 500 company, Suoni has too many businesses. Whether it is a USB flash drive or a floppy disk, it is just one of them for them, and there is also a special person in charge.

After receiving the lawyer's letter from the court, the letter did not reach Kawai Shangji's level immediately.

As for the order given by Noda Kazuki, it was not directly issued by Kawai Shangji, but by an executive named Yasuyo Iwamura.

The original idea of ​​Yasuyo Iwamura was that if the matter could be settled first, then it would be fine to directly discuss how much money to pay to complete the patent authorization at the board of directors.

So before this, Kawai Shangji didn't pay much attention to this aspect.

This is a common problem in almost all large companies. As the general manager of a large multinational company, he has no way to pay attention to every detail.

Even Yasuyo Iwamura didn't pay enough attention to this area, after all, he has a lot of things in his hands.

When Yasuyo Iwamura finally realized that he wanted to report the whole thing with Naoki Kawai, the press conference at Eternal Technology was about to start.

Therefore, Yasuo Iwamura decided to simply wait for the press conference of Eternal Technology to get more accurate information before discussing it.

Because he still has some doubts about the news that Noda and Xi sent back. How did Eternal Technology, a company that has not been established for a long time, get the confidence to directly shout that it will definitely not be authorized to Suo Ni.

Then after the press conference of Eternal Science and Technology was held, news came from various sources, and Yasuyo Iwamura finally confirmed the news.

Yasuyo Iwamura was shocked immediately, and he even confirmed the news to multiple media.

Then he immediately reported to the president, Naoki Kawai, and at the same time, they received feedback from the sales department, and dealers called to cancel orders one after another.

This includes not only the dealers on the island, but also the dealers in the United States that have just been negotiated.

The senior officials of Suoni realized the complexity of the problem at this time.

Just a legal lawsuit involving intellectual property rights is not a big deal for Soni. They have a very professional team to evaluate the solution to this matter.

But now, Eternal Technology is showing an attitude of not authorizing it under any circumstances, which makes Suo Ni very uncomfortable.

In the small conference room, Soni President Kawata Naoki glanced at Yasuo Iwamura and his senior assistant Kawai, and finally chose to ask the most trusted Kawai:
"Talk about the current solutions available to the company."

The young Kawai immediately stood up in response, and said to Kawada Shangji and others:

"Combining the opinions of the marketing department and the legal department, we currently have three options for USB flash drives."

"One is to take the initiative to connect with Eternal Technology, discuss the other party's lawsuit, and look for the possibility of reconciliation and technology authorization."

"No!" Just as Kawai said this, Iwamura Yasuyo had already shouted.

"That small company has made it clear that it will not authorize Suoni, so why should we take the initiative to post it? This not only means that we have admitted the infringement, but also means that we are submissive."

Yasuyo Iwamura is very clear that if this plan is passed, it is very likely that he will be responsible for what he will talk to Eternal Technology.

After Yasuo Iwamura spoke, Kawai glanced at Shangai Heji, and found that his boss did not speak, so he continued to say:

"The other option is that we choose to keep selling and wait for the courts to come down."

"Is it possible for us to win the case?" At this time, Shang Jingheji finally spoke.

Kawai immediately shook his head, "According to the assessment of our legal and technical departments, the probability is extremely small, almost none."

Kawai's words made the brows of several people in the small conference room slightly frowned. Kawai obviously also saw the doubts of several high-level people, and immediately explained:
"The technology of the U disk is not complicated. On the contrary, it is a bit too simple. Although our R&D technicians have tried their best not to infringe on the other party's technology when developing the company's products, but because of the simple structure inside, It's hard to deal with."

The high-level executives of Suoni understood what Kawai said. If it is a product with complex technology and structure, if it is imitated, it can avoid the same technology through the transformation of various structures and the use of different components.

However, the technology in the U disk is really not complicated. There are just a few things, even if the technicians conjure them up, it is impossible to avoid the same.

At this time, Kawai continued: "According to the supporting analysis materials provided by our technicians, the legal department assesses that there is almost no possibility of winning the case in court."

Kawai Yanji frowned slightly, and even the legal department of Suoni Company did not approve the supporting materials provided by itself. One can imagine what would happen if the materials were provided to the court by Eternal Technology.

This plan... After a little pondering, Kawai Shangji immediately said:
"If they don't authorize in the end, that's not the way to go."

Kawai immediately nodded and said: "If Eternal Technology does not agree to the authorization in the end, it is indeed not the best plan to continue selling until the court decides."

Said, Kawai immediately began to explain.

The final amount of compensation for infringement by the court is determined according to the economic benefits obtained by the patent user. If Eternal Technology does not agree to reconcile and authorize the patent for Suo Ni before the trial, it means that the more Suo Ni sells, the more income it will get. The more, the more money needs to be paid to Eternal Technology.

The people in the small conference room are also smart people who can understand as soon as they hear it.

Yasuyo Iwamura immediately frowned and said, "So that means we are helping them sell USB drives?"

"It can be considered so." Kawai nodded, "The court will require the company to provide detailed sales data, and compensate Eternal Technology based on the relevant data."

"So, if it develops like this, maybe we will not only help them sell U disks, but also help them bear the cost."

More importantly, even so, if the court ruled that Suo Ni lost the case, they still could not sell the USB flash drive, because in that case, it would be regarded as continuing infringement.

Kawai Shangji is obviously very aware of this point, so he pointed out immediately after Kawai had just finished speaking that if Eternal Technology did not authorize it in the end, it would be meaningless to carry out this plan.

Because this is a typical wedding dress for others.

"Continue!" Kawai Naoki motioned to Kawai, and Kawai began to talk about plan three.

And here, as soon as Kawai finished talking about plan three, Yasuyo Iwamura yelled again immediately after hearing it.

"No! This plan..."

Yasuyo Iwamura hadn't finished speaking yet, Shang Ji Kawai gave him a cold look and said, "So, you think that plan [-] and plan [-] are not acceptable, only plan [-] is acceptable?"

After Yasuo Iwamura listened, his expression froze.

After thinking about it for a while, he understood what Kawai Shangji meant, whether it was Plan [-] or Plan [-], it was his own business.

However, once the second option is adopted, it will be dragged to the court to take effect, because it may face huge compensation, which requires Kawai Shangji to explain to the board of directors and the company's investors.

Yasuyo Iwamura's guess was really right in Naoki Kawai's mind.

In fact, Kawai Shangji is also very angry about the oil and salt of Eternal Technology. He still vividly remembers the refusal of Eternal Technology to buy it.

But it is precisely because of the experience of encountering a setback at Eternal Science and Technology that Kawai Shangji is very worried. Even if the second option is adopted, it is very likely that it will be the worst case if it is delayed until the final court pronouncement.

Kawai Shangji didn't know when the case would be resolved. After half a year, there would be a new round of board elections. If the case happens to break out at this time...

Kawai Shangji didn't dare to take this risk, so at this time, he could only choose the safest method.

That is to let Yasuo Iwamura bear all this, even if it will bring some losses to the company.

Having made a decision, Kawai Naoki immediately said:
"Iwamura, you are in charge of this matter. Immediately arrange a negotiating team to negotiate with Eternal Technology, and try to persuade them to agree to the authorization. If they do not agree, implement plan three."

When Yasuo Iwamura heard this, he cursed secretly in his heart, but Shangji Kawai made a decision at this time and issued an order, so he had no choice but to carry it out.

Lin Xiao and the others did not know that there was such an intrigue between the two senior managers on Suo Ni's side.

In the final analysis, this is all due to the tough attitude of Lin Xiao and others who stated that they would not authorize Suo Ni's patent.

And Eternal Technology is also continuing to implement such a tough attitude!

On the fifth day after the press conference, the Suoni delegation came to Yanjing to discuss with Eternal Technology.

Suo Ni proposed a five-year patent licensing fee of 2000 million yuan in Huaxia coins, which was twice that of Dongzhi, but the result was——

Sorry, we will not authorize Soni.

reason?No reason, just don't give it!

Eternal Technology rejected it simply, just like what they said at the press conference.

As a result, the Suoni negotiating delegation returned home in defeat!

This news was also captured by the media who have been paying attention to the dynamics of the dispute between Eternal Technology and Suoni, so people are even more curious about what kind of reaction Suoni will have in the end.

Another week later, news suddenly came out from the media that Evergu Technology and Suo Ni reached an out-of-court settlement agreement on the infringement and use of U disk series patent authorization technology.

Because the news did not reveal the specific content, people were still surprised at first. Could it be that Eternal Technology changed its mind?
However, when further news came out, and after learning about Suoni Company's response plan, the people of Huaxia suddenly became overwhelmed!
