Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 396

While the two were talking, Cheng Xiaohua walked in, holding a few small boxes in his hand, and said to Zheng Youyuan, "Boss Zheng, I found a few more."

Afterwards, he saw Lu Yiming and hurriedly greeted him: "Mr. Lu, you are here."

Lu Yiming looked at what was in Cheng Xiaohua's hand, and asked, "What is this?"

Cheng Xiaohua put the box on the table and said: "This is a few counterfeit USB drives I found today. They are from the same brand. The appearance is different from our products, but they are also very rough. I just opened one and took a look. , which is glued together with a small piece of old circuit board."

Lu Yiming took a long breath and said, "It seems that the scale of counterfeiting outside is very large. I'll say the same thing, there must be an insider who was able to imitate our products in such a short period of time. The reason is very Simple, since they chose a copycat and made it so rough, it means they don’t have a research and development team, and it’s impossible to have a good production line. Without these two things, reverse research and development in such a short period of time is impossible.”

Zheng Youyuan said: "Actually, I think so too. I have been checking the company's monitoring these days, and I really found a very strange thing. The Liu Gan who just resigned from the company, a few days before resignation I opened the safe of the R&D department, took away the design drawings of the USB flash drive, and put it back after ten minutes. I suspect that he took it for copying."

Liu Gan was in charge of sales before, but after the USB flash drives opened up in the market, there was no need to promote them at all, and orders came pouring in.Liu Gan simply chose to resign under the pretext that his mission had been completed.

If it weren't for checking the monitoring, they might not even know that he did such a thing before he left.

Lu Yiming said solemnly: "Then this person is suspected of committing a major crime. Now as long as we find him, or find the factory that copied our products, everything will be revealed. It's a pity that Huang Junlie refused to cooperate. Otherwise, they would have been arrested by now." It was caught."

………………

At the same time, in a dilapidated factory building on the outskirts of Guancheng, machines roared continuously.

Although it is the Chinese New Year period, there are people coming and going here, and it is very lively.

In a room of more than ten square meters, there was a table full of good wine and food. Lin Jiandong and Liu Gan sat facing each other, pushing glasses and changing glasses.

The copycat USB flash drives that are now on the market are produced from this dilapidated factory building.

Taking advantage of the first-mover advantage of the first counterfeit USB drive, the two of them made a lot of money during this period.

After a few glasses of white wine, Lin Jiandong said with emotion: "Making this USB flash drive is more profitable than making floppy disks. My brother, thanks to the blueprint you brought, otherwise it would not be so fast to crack all the production technology of the USB flash drive."

After drinking a few glasses of white wine, Liu Gan also blushed, with a proud expression: "If you have money, let's make money together. In the future, we will divide the work and cooperate. If you focus on production and I focus on sales, we will definitely make a fortune."

Lin Jiandong took it very seriously, and helped Liu Gan fill his wine glass again, and said with a smile: "Come, come, I'll toast you again."

The two were smiling, but the more they chatted, the more speculative they became, and they wished they could meet sooner, their relationship was so good that they would burn yellow papers on the spot.

………………

Lu Yiming came to Mingcha Qiuhao Law Firm again.

Li Qiu was still sitting in front of the glass-covered desk reading a book as usual.

He seems to be perpetually busy, yet seems to have nothing else to do but read.

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Lu? What brought you here? Please sit down."

The current Li Qiu is very enthusiastic about Lu Yiming. After all, in just a few months, he has already earned millions from Lu Yiming, so it is not an exaggeration to call him a rich man.

Lu Yiming sat down on the wicker chair, and the whole wicker chair sank down, which shocked Lu Yiming.He couldn't help complaining: "Can you change this thing?"

Li Qiu said with a frank tone, "This is an antique."

He poured a cup of chrysanthemum tea for Lu Yiming, and said with some expectation: "Mr. Lu is here again?"

Lu Yiming was also unambiguous, and immediately said: "I just came out of the company and passed by here, so I came up to have a look. I want you to find someone for me."

Li Qiu didn't even ask any questions, but agreed; "No problem. Do you have any basic information? Do you have any photos?"

Lu Yiming shook his head slightly, and said, "I'm not asking you to find a specific person, but I need someone, and I'm asking you to find someone who meets the requirements."

Li Qiu nodded slightly, walked around the table and sat in his seat, facing Lu Yiming across the table.He took out a pen from the pen holder, opened a notebook with a black leather cover, and then his expression became serious: "Go on."

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Yiming put forward a little request of his own: "The best thing is, someone who is familiar with civil law, courageous, short of money, and willing to take certain risks. That's about it. Do you know this kind of person?" ?”

Li Qiu, who was still taking notes seriously, suddenly stopped writing, and replied with a serious expression: "Yes."

"Who?"

"me."

"you?"

"Yes, Mr. Lu, I perfectly meet the conditions you mentioned."

Lu Yiming looked into Li Qiu's eyes very seriously, and asked very seriously: "Do you want to make more money? You want to get paid after the agency fee?"

Li Qiu smiled and said, "Boss Lu, look at what you said, I call it hard work for those who are capable."

Lu Yiming breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he had known each other for a while, so he still chose to tell the truth: "Think clearly first: this matter has certain risks, and if you don't do it well, your life may be in danger."

After Li Qiu listened, he replied casually: "I'm afraid of death, but I'm more afraid of poverty."

Lu Yiming was very curious and asked, "You have taken so much money from me, are you still poor?"

Li Qiu sighed and said, "Mr. Lu, you don't know that there are so many mouths waiting for me to feed."

Now that the discussion has reached this point, Lu Yiming did not continue to delve into it, and immediately made a decision: "Okay, now there is a way to get rich in front of you, it depends on whether you dare to do it."

When Li Qiu heard this, he immediately became interested.

Seeing him, he rubbed his hands in excitement, and hurriedly asked for details: "What kind of business? How much money can you make?"

Lu Yiming said slowly: "If you operate well, you can earn several million a year without any problem. Even tens of millions is as easy as eating and drinking water."

"Good guy!"

Li Qiu was shocked.

With an annual income of tens of millions... What the hell is going on with this?

"Boss, take me!"

Facing the excited Li Qiu, Lu Yiming slowly told him the story of Wang Hai's crackdown on counterfeiting.

The matter of Wang Hai and his professional anti-counterfeiting happened to happen in 98 when the president and his wife of the beautiful country just came to China for a visit. Not long ago, Wang Hai’s reputation is still very big. When he arrived, he was called "the protector of Xia's consumers".

When Li Qiu heard that it was a professional crackdown on counterfeiting, he immediately understood where the risk Lu Yiming was talking about came from.

Doing this kind of thing is indeed easy to be beaten, after all, it will cut off people's wealth, and even if it is serious, they will be beaten by a knife.

Lu Yiming went on to say: "Pengrun Electronics is selling pirated USB flash drives recently, as well as some other problematic products. I can lend you money as the principal. After earning money, we will share half of the proceeds. How about it?"

Li Qiu was frightened by Lu Yiming's thoughts, and said, "The backstage of Pengrun Electric is not ordinary."

The headquarters of Pengrun Electric Appliances is within the third ring road of Beijing.

Lu Yiming didn't take it seriously: "Don't worry, I don't want you to bring down Pengrun, I just use legal weapons to protect the legitimate rights and interests of consumers. And I plan to invest 500 million to do this, think about it for yourself Do you want to do it or not?"

500 million!
Li Qiu couldn't even breathe smoothly in an instant. Being familiar with civil law, he naturally knew the legal provisions of "one fake one pays three". Even if the profit after the event was half-divided with Lu Yiming's, it would still be several million dollars in income.

A sum of several million can be entered into the account, and I will make a sum every month...

"Wealth and wealth are in danger, I will take this job!"

Gritting his teeth and stomping his feet, Li Qiu willingly became Lu Yiming's toolman, and blew the horn of attack on Pengrun Electric and other channels and platforms that sold counterfeit goods.

A few days later, Li Qiu, wearing a top hat and a small suit, with a briefcase under his arm, walked into Pengrun Electric City in Baiyun City like a successful businessman.

The entrance of Pengrun Electric Appliances has never been fancy. There is a big LOGO plus the four characters of Pengrun Electric Appliances. Each word is as big as a floor-to-ceiling window, occupying the entire height of a floor. It's hard to pay attention.The surrounding street facades pale in comparison to this sign.

The glass doors that open in four directions seem to be commonplace, but once you enter, you will find something different.This kind of hypermarket model, which looks a bit like the previous state-owned shopping malls, allows people to buy all electronic products in one stop, which is very popular among consumers.

In fact, the launch of Pengrun Electric was to compete with the state-owned shopping malls.Because there are often discounts and promotions here, the salespeople seem to be very enthusiastic.In terms of shopping experience, it is much better than state-run shopping malls.

Li Qiu walked into the mall and began to look around, as if he was about to make a big purchase.A sharp-eyed shopping guide saw Li Qiu, ran over quickly, bowed deeply, and said enthusiastically: "Welcome to Pengrun Electric, the shopping guide 9527 is very happy to serve you. What do you need to buy?"

Li Qiu nodded slightly, and said, "I have a lot of things to buy, just follow me and make an order directly."

"okay!"

When shopping guide 9527 heard this, his eyes lit up.

Look at the tone, this is coming to buy.

It is undeniable that Pengrun Electric's products are indeed cheaper than retail stores, but in fact they are not much cheaper. Going to Pengrun Electric to buy goods is purely a gift of money, and the meager price difference can be easily covered by warehousing and logistics costs. To offset it.

However, whocare?

I sell things, you come to buy things, it doesn't matter if you lose money or not, as long as I win, it's fine.

Li Qiu followed the list given to him by Lu Yiming, not only the USB flash drive, but also several other electrical products that were known to be fake and sold as counterfeit products, and he also spent a lot of money to wipe them all out.

Such a large-scale transaction directly made the shopping guide laugh from ear to ear.

With this order opened, his ten-year sales performance has been achieved.

After choosing the items, Li Qiu specially reminded: "By the way, remember to invoice me, and I will be reimbursed when I go back."

"no problem."

For such a big patron, for an ordinary shopping guide, even if he was asked to kneel down and lick his shoes, how could he not agree to such a legitimate request for an invoice?
Within a few days, the news that there was a rich customer with a lot of money in Pengrun Electric spread like wildfire, which made many people very envious.

But soon, a lawsuit directly ignited the public opinion in the city. It turned out that Li Qiu, who had previously pretended to be a high-flyer, sued Pengrun Electric to the court and demanded compensation from the other party.

Then he listed a lot of evidence to prove that Pengrun Electric did sell fake products, and said that there are many victims like him. As a lawyer, he is willing to help these deceived consumers to file lawsuits to seek justice.

After the news was broadcast, many users who bought counterfeit USB flash drives from Pengrun Electric Appliances, when they heard that the counterfeit ones would pay three, they couldn’t sit still, so they dialed Li Qiu’s number one after another, asking him to give him legal authorization to help recover them. loss.

In the Baiyun branch of Pengrun Electric Appliances, Huang Junlie, who originally planned to go to the capital to deal with some matters, had to cancel the trip and stayed in Baiyun City with a gloomy face to deal with the public relations crisis.

In the conference room, facing several company executives sitting around the desk in front of him, Huang Junlie said angrily, "Who tell me, what is going on?"

Several executives of the company lowered their heads, but no one spoke. They all pretended to be dead with pay.

After all, to put it bluntly, the blame is yours, Huang Junlie. If you hadn't tacitly allowed the people under you to do this, would something like this have happened today?

What's more, the quality of the things produced by many domestic manufacturers these days is not much better, and some are even worse than fake and shoddy knockoffs.

Therefore, no one took the sale of counterfeit goods seriously. After all, as long as we were not caught on the spot, we would not be considered a crime.

But in many cases, telling the truth is fatal. After all, how could the boss be wrong?
Even if there is a mistake, it is someone else's fault!

Seeing that everyone was silent, Huang Junlie became even angrier. He patted the table and shouted, "Tell me, you are usually very active when you take credit one by one. Now you all pretend to be dumb? I have raised a bunch of idiots." Hurry up and tell me a plan, or else you all get out!"

Seeing that it would be impossible to continue pretending to be dead, an executive said tentatively, "Why don't you lose some money?"

After hearing this, Huang Junlie became even angrier. He screamed and shouted, "Have you lost your mind? Do you know how much we have to pay for such a big incident? 3000 million! At least 3000 million!"

It can be said that how cool it was to sell counterfeit USB flash drives at the beginning, how miserable it is now.

"Then sue them?"

"I'll hit you on the head. If you don't say anything else, just talk about that USB flash drive. The owner has come forward to confirm that ours is a counterfeit product. How do you fight?"

"Then what else can we do?"

"If you can't afford to lose money, and if you can't win the lawsuit, aren't we doomed to lose this time?"

"Let's ask for peace, so that the green hills can be kept without worrying about no firewood."

"Who are you asking for peace with?"

After discussion and discussion, it seems that no one can come up with a solution that can solve the problem without paying.
