Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1979 Another one

"The other party's lawyers have arrived in Xiangjiang, and their representatives said in an interview that they will give Giordano the greatest punishment for such a bad behavior."

Just when Li Zhiying thought that as long as she lost some money, the big and small things would be resolved, the other party's lawyer team had already arrived in Xiangjiang.

If you add a team of local lawyers, judging by their emphasis, the other side seems to be determined not to give up until they achieve their goals.

"[-] million in compensation? Are these people crazy? It's just a few styles that are the same. They don't even think about asking me to pay [-] million."

Li Zhiying soon received the price claimed by the other party, a compensation of [-] million Hong Kong dollars, and asked Li Zhiying to apologize to them in all newspapers in Hong Kong in the name of the chairman of Giordano.

Whether it is the amount of compensation or asking Li Zhiying to apologize to the other party in newspapers across Xiangjiang, Li Zhiying cannot accept either.

Because money and reputation are the last things he can lose, so it is impossible for him to give in so easily.

"Their demands are really outrageous, but I think they are just asking for prices. I think the final compensation amount should be around 300 million."

Li Zhiying's subordinates felt that those lawyers were just trying to frighten them. The amount of compensation for this kind of plagiarism was absolutely impossible to reach as much as [-] million Hong Kong dollars.

Li Zhiying also agreed with his subordinate's opinion. He felt that this time it was just an accidental collision, and he didn't intend to copy the other party.

But even if you are not careful about this kind of thing, there is nothing you can do about it. After all, there are so many new clothes produced in the world every year, it is inevitable that some styles will be bumped into.

If you have to pay the other party so much money once you hit it, who else in Xiangjiang will dare to sell clothes in the future?
"You go to contact them first, have a better attitude, and try to solve this matter as soon as possible."

I don’t know what’s going on recently. Giordano’s alleged plagiarism has been fermenting in the media, and it’s getting worse.

Especially after the condition of the other party's [-] million compensation was announced, it immediately became a hot topic in the streets and alleys.

Although Giordano's business has not been affected by this, Li Zhiying still cannot help worrying that this matter will affect the company's performance.

The next day, the person Li Zhiying sent to negotiate with the other party returned.

He looked very depressed when he came in.

"What did they say?"

The manager shook his head, then said with a depressed face.

"They did not agree to lower the conditions, and they also said that if we did not agree to the conditions they proposed within three days, then they would go to court and sue us for plagiarism."

If it was just an ordinary small company, Li Zhiying would not be so worried, but this famous brand clothing has a high reputation in the world, and the annual sales volume is not known to be many times higher than that of Giordano.

If the other party is determined and unwilling to lower their demands, then they can only meet in court in the end.

But if this is the case, I am afraid that this matter will be dragged on forever, which is the last situation Li Zhiying wants to see.

Once the company has a stain, it will be a ticking time bomb for Giordano.

While Li Zhiying was still busy dealing with this company, the media suddenly revealed that Giordano had copied a famous Italian clothing brand two years ago.

Giordano's scandals continued, and the company's performance began to be affected.

And what Li Zhiying didn't expect was that Italy also sent people to Xiangjiang to demand compensation.

Their request was lower than the previous one, but it was [-] million Hong Kong dollars plus Li Zhiying apologized to them in Hong Kong's main newspaper.

"What the hell is going on here?"

Back home, Li Zhiying leaned on the sofa with a very serious expression on his face.

Li Yinqin was sitting beside him, and she didn't know how to help Li Zhiying.

"Is it a good thing done by the people below?"

Li Yinqin wonders if some designers are trying to save effort, so they specially copy foreign models, which is not impossible.

"The company is still investigating what's going on, but the current situation is that those people are unwilling to lower the price, and it seems that they intend to fight a protracted war with me."

Li Zhiying is very annoyed now, he really can't figure out how he could be so unlucky all of a sudden, and suddenly provoke two famous brand-name clothes.

If this matter cannot be resolved smoothly, then Li Zhiying doesn't know what will happen next.

"If it really doesn't work, why don't you go to Philip for help, maybe he can help us in any way."

Li Yinqin suggested to ask Fei Li for help. She felt that it might not be difficult to deal with or help to find a solution as the other party.

"Although Philip is the director of the Anglia office in Xiangjiang, he can't afford to mess with these two famous brand clothing. Do you think he will stand up for us?"

Although Li Zhiying hopes to become Feili's subordinate, he also knows that Feili's role is in Xiangjiang.

If Feili was to offend these two well-known clothing brands for him, Li Zhiying knew what choice Feili would make without even thinking about it.

Li Zhiying's guess is indeed correct, because even if Feili is willing to help him, he can't do anything at all.

Even if he is willing to intervene in Xiangjiang's justice for Li Zhiying, once he is found out, Philip's career may come to an end.

Moreover, some people have been secretly watching Feili's every move, as long as he dares to help Li Zhiying do something notorious, then he can be said to be dead.

"The people over there said that the final compensation amount will only be between 2000 and [-] million at most, and the price of [-] million is almost impossible."

In Lin Daoqiu's office, Fang Jinsheng introduced the latest situation to him.

These people were indeed found by Lin Daoqiu. More precisely, Lin Daoqiu sent people to compare Giordano's clothing styles in recent years with well-known foreign brands.

I found a few clothes that were very similar to the other party, and then notified the other party, and gave them a brief introduction to Giordano's financial situation.

If it weren't for this, how could those people send such a team of lawyers to trouble Li Zhiying.

"Tell them that if they rush this matter they will get very little compensation, but if they wait longer they will get much more compensation."

Lin Daoqiu believed that as long as this matter dragged on, Li Zhiying would be very passive, and he would naturally increase the price of compensation to deal with this matter as soon as possible.

But Lin Daoqiu didn't want this matter to end too quickly, he hoped that it could be delayed for a year or two so that Li Zhiying could suffer well.
