Reborn in the red age
Chapter 435 Hu Jiabao meets an old classmate
"Hey, isn't this Teacher Li? Long time no see."
"It's been a long time, but why are you talking so sarcastic?"
“I feel a little uncomfortable”
"Huh? What do you say?"
"My son hasn't seen his father for a long time"
"I just remembered that I have something else to do. I'm leaving now. You guys chat."
Every time faced with this question from Ma Wenhui, Li Qingfeng didn't know how to answer. Zhang Yapeng was a complete workaholic and he even forgot about his wife and children when he was working.
As a result, every time Ma Wenhui brought up his son, Li Qingfeng felt guilty. Now he regretted sending Zhang Yapeng to Harbin to build cars.
"Don't go, don't go. I came here today because I heard that you came back from other places, and I came to find you." Li Qingfeng just stood up and was about to leave when he was stopped by Ma Wenhui.
"looking for me?"
"Don't worry about that for now." Ma Wenhui turned around and asked Hu Jiabao curiously, "Are Chuyi and Shiwu at home? I brought some clothes for them. Let them come out and try them on."
Hu Jiabao, who still had to read the latest medical papers sent by the school on weekends during the summer vacation, put down the materials in her hand and said, "Xiao Cai took her to learn Go on the 15th, and she went out to learn swimming on the 1st. Both children are not at home. Where is your boy?"
"We sent him back to Harbin during the summer vacation and left him in the care of his grandparents. Why didn't you and your wife follow him to learn swimming in the first year of junior high school?"
Hu Jiabao glanced at Qingfeng Li, shrugged, and did not directly answer the question.
Ma Wenhui, who was familiar with Li Qingfeng's family situation, immediately understood what was going on after seeing Hu Jiabao's behavior.
Turning his head to look at Li Qingfeng lying dead on the sofa, he smiled and teased, "Hey, Mr. Li, you've been using your beauty trick for a while now, how's the effect? Has it cured Chuyi's love affair?"
"The effect is of course quite good. The aesthetic taste of the first-year students is as high as that of a three- or four-story building. Their cultivation has also improved a lot. They can recite a few ancient poems from time to time."
Li Qingfeng was quite proud when he mentioned this matter. That group of students from Beijing Normal University were quite capable. Under their conscious guidance, Chuyi had made a significant improvement in his ideological cognition. Li Qingfeng would no longer worry that Chuyi would be deceived by the little yellow-haired boy.
"Really? Is it really that useful? I want to learn from you and find a few female college students to play with my son. Do you think it's okay?"
"Forget it, boys and girls are different. Didn't you see that I sent him to learn Go at the age of fifteen? If you want to train your son to be a little gangster, learn to play like me."
"Okay, forget it then." Ma Wenhui nodded slightly disappointedly and stopped talking about this topic. Instead, she explained her purpose: "You know about the Anti-Unfair Competition Law that has been mentioned in the newspapers recently, right?"
Li Qingfeng had read about this matter in the documents a few days ago. The rapid formulation and passage of the law was of the same nature as the meeting in September. They were all aimed at attracting foreign investment to the country and were for foreign-funded enterprises to see.
It shows foreign capital that the country has begun to attach importance to the protection of intellectual property rights, and will use legal means to regulate market competition and stop commercial intellectual property infringement.
As for the so-called prevention of infringement, Li Qingfeng could only say "haha".
Pirated copies of Lemon Company's products can be found everywhere in China. They are openly displayed and sold in stores. Even the products used within the system are pirated. We can just listen to the calls to crack down on infringements of intellectual property products.
Li Qingfeng raised his eyebrows and looked at Ma Wenhui in confusion: "Of course I know, but what does this have to do with you?"
"I consulted a lawyer in detail, and he told me that the design of the clothes in my store was copied from foreign brands, infringing on the intellectual property rights of foreign companies, which is illegal. He told me to remove the clothes from the shelves as soon as the legislation is passed, otherwise I would be easily sued."
"So, the clothes in your store are all copied?"
"Don't say such harsh words, borrowed, borrowed." Facing Li Qingfeng's strange gaze, Ma Wenhui smiled awkwardly: "Our domestic designers are not good enough. The clothes they design are ugly. We can only re-create clothes based on foreign clothes."
Li Qingfeng smacked his lips. What Ma Wenhui said sounded nice, but what about reference and secondary creation? It was still plagiarism.
Hu Jiabao, who had been listening to the conversation, heard that her best friend was in trouble. She couldn't bear to read the information sent by the school, so she quickly ran to the sofa to help her best friend find a solution.
"Wenhui, why don't you listen to the lawyer? We must not get sued. If the reputation of plagiarism gets out, the reputation that your store has accumulated over the years will be ruined."
"I want to take it off the shelves, but there are problems with the clothes in my store. If I take it off the shelves, there will be no clothes left to sell."
"."
Listening to the two women chattering, Qingfeng Li felt as if the sky was falling and his head was aching.
Interrupting their discussion, Li Qingfeng rubbed his brows and said, "His lawyer knows nothing about the law, and he plagiarized and got sued. As long as you didn't copy it directly, it doesn't count as plagiarism."
“Borrowing is allowed to a certain extent. As long as you don’t copy it completely and have your own innovative elements in it, you don’t have to be afraid. You can definitely say that this is your original work.”
After Li Qingfeng finished the call, Ma Wenhui and Hu Jiabao opened their eyes wide, their faces full of disbelief.
"Is this true? Don't fool me. I'm really nervous. If something really happens, the reputation that my store has built up over the years will be ruined."
“Why would I fool you? Fashion is a cycle that will come back every ten or twenty years. Many design elements are the same. As long as it is not a complete copy, it is your own original work.”
Hu Jiabao nodded thoughtfully, "That seems to be the case, but what if the company being copied is genuine?"
"What can we do if they are serious about it? First of all, they have to have solid evidence to prove that you are plagiarizing, not borrowing. If they sue us, we will respond. If we lose, we will appeal again. It's no big deal to fight for ten or eight years."
"In addition, you can also apply for intellectual property rights for all the clothing designs in your store. With a nationally recognized intellectual property certificate, you can win the lawsuit easily."
"Besides, big cases depend on politics, medium cases depend on influence, and small cases depend on relationships. When foreign-funded enterprises and private enterprises sue each other, the court will side with the foreign enterprises in certain controversial areas. However, when foreign-funded enterprises sue each other, the court will be fair and follow the law. It will not be biased towards either side. If you are an Italian joint venture, are you afraid of suing in China?"
clap clap.
Suddenly, applause broke out in the living room. Li Qingfeng and his wife turned their heads to look at Ma Wenhui, who was applauding. "Great, great, no wonder you can succeed, your little brain is so quick."
"Come on, you guys are going for the high-end route, so you can't afford to have the stain of plagiarism. In the future, you should find a way to design the clothes in your store yourself. Copying others is not a long-term solution."
"Understood, understood. I will pay attention to it next time."
The problem that had troubled Ma Wenhui for a long time was solved by Li Qingfeng. Ma Wenhui was in a good mood and said that she would treat Li Qingfeng and his family to dinner at the best restaurant in the city.
Li Qingfeng showed no mercy to the local tyrant who attacked Ma Wenhui. He immediately called and booked a table at the Western restaurant of Wangfu Hotel (Wangfu Peninsula Hotel).
Nowadays, the most upscale restaurants in the eyes of ordinary people in Beijing are the so-called Sandao and Yifu, but they are not even up to par in front of foreign-related hotels.
Although the food is expensive, with a meal costing two to three thousand yuan, these three restaurants accept RMB and are the highest-end restaurants that ordinary people can access.
In foreign-related hotels like Wangfu Hotel, they won't let you in if you use RMB. You have to use foreign currency to pay for things there, and the prices are not cheap either. They are much higher than luxury hotels in America.
After getting off the hotel parking lot, Ma Wenhui nodded at the parking attendant who was parking the car not far away.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Li Laosan, you've had this Passat for ten years, right? Hurry up and change your car. Look at the parking attendant at the hotel. He saw a Mercedes-Benz far away and took the initiative to come forward and wave to help park the car, but when he saw your car at the door, he didn't even move."
Hu Jiabao, who got out of the back seat with his two children, didn't really care about the parking attendant looking down on his car: "If you don't want to park, then don't move. You have your own hands and feet, why do you need others to help you park? It's not like you can't park. Besides, whether you are respected or not is not something that can be determined by a car."
"Tsk tsk tsk, she is worthy of being the hostess of an international group. This is a grand plan."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. I'm hungry. Let's go in quickly."
The front desk staff at high-end hotels are all very discerning. The clothes worn by Li Qingfeng and the other two adults are all very valuable, especially the large imperial green bracelet on Hu Jiabao's wrist. It is obvious at first glance that this is a wealthy man.
There was no difficulty at the door, and I was successfully led by the receptionist to the seat that I had booked in advance.
As the host of this dinner, Ma Wenhui took the English menu and calmly ordered a table full of Western food. She elegantly handed the menu to the waitress and asked her to go to the kitchen to place the order.
Watching the waiter's back disappear into the corridor, Ma Wenhui, who had been smiling just now, immediately turned into a bitter face: "Oh my god, I thought that according to the current domestic salary level, three knives and an axe are expensive enough, but I didn't expect that eating in this place is even more outrageous. A steak dares to cost 79 US dollars, which is more expensive than in America."
“Don’t you see what kind of place this is? Those who can come here to eat are all domestic elites. If our domestic elites are worse off than American elites in consumption, wouldn’t America look down on them?” Li Qingfeng smiled and said meaningfully.
"Humph, money comes too easily. If you worked hard to earn it bit by bit, who would be willing to spend it like this?"
"That's wrong. People who work hard to earn money have no right to eat here."
"Okay, enough of you two, why are you talking about these things when we're having dinner outside?"
Hu Jiabao, who was standing by, listened to the two people's innuendo-filled conversation and couldn't help but roll his eyes at each of them.
Just then the waiter came up with some lemon water for hand washing. Li Qingfeng and Ma Wenhui ended the topic and washed their fingers according to the rules of high-end Western restaurants to prepare for dinner.
Everyone at the table has been abroad and seen the world, so naturally there would be no joke.
After finishing a Western meal, Qingfeng Li paid no attention to the so-called Western dining etiquette and leaned back in his chair to pick his teeth with a toothpick.
While picking his teeth, he complained: "Not very good, very average, completely like the American taste. I asked for well-done, but they served me medium rare at best. I must complain to them when I leave later."
"Come on, forget it. Who in the West eats steak well-done? Medium-rare is already very good. I've even seen people in America eat it medium-rare. Both Reader and Yilin magazine say that the best way to eat steak is medium-rare," Ma Wenhui raised her eyebrows and said with a smile.
"Rare? That's too high. I've seen people eat rare in America."
"Rare? How do you eat it?"
"It's simple. Take the cow out to bask in the sun at noon. When it's almost sunny, just lie on it and eat it raw."
"Hahaha"
After dinner, Li Qingfeng and the others had a brief chat at the table in the western restaurant and prepared to leave.
After calling the waiter to pay the bill, the group just stood up when a fat middle-aged man in his forties wearing a shirt and tie excitedly approached and greeted Hu Jiabao with a big grin: "Old classmate, long time no see. You haven't changed at all in all these years. You are still as young and beautiful as ever."
When faced with a familiar-looking man who greeted him, Hu Jiabao couldn't remember who the man was for a moment.
The visitor saw Hu Jiabao's puzzled expression and knew that he didn't recognize him, so he quickly introduced himself: "I'm Qian Xiaotao, we were in the same class in college, old classmates."
Hu Jiabao on the side hadn't reacted yet, but Ma Wenhui was the first to react. She glanced up and down at Qian Xiaotao, then turned her head and raised her eyebrows at Li Qingfeng with a strange expression.
Ma Wenhui's expression made Li Qingfeng confused. For a moment he didn't know what she wanted to express.
After hearing Qian Xiaotao's self-introduction, Hu Jiabao looked at the other's fat face carefully and vaguely matched it with the old classmate in his memory.
After confirming that the person in front of him was indeed his college classmate, Hu Jiabao smiled: "Oh, it's you. You've changed a lot. I didn't recognize you for a while. Didn't you stay in America after studying abroad? Why are you back?"
"Hi, after I graduated from the United States, I joined a pharmaceutical company in New York. The capital has been inviting foreign investors to hold meetings in China recently. Our company received the invitation, so they sent me over."
Qian Xiaotao said, noticing the two adults and two children next to Hu Jiabao, and asked cautiously with a little trepidation: "Old classmate, are you here to have dinner with your friends?"
"I forgot to introduce them to you. This is my husband and these are my children. My good friend is treating our whole family to dinner today."
Watching Qian Xiaotao's rapidly changing expression with great interest, Li Qingfeng seemed to hear the sound of something breaking. (End of this chapter)
