Rebirth of the World’s Richest Man

Chapter 3150 Intellectual Property Disputes

 Jiang Xiaobai, Deputy Li Shu and others arrived at Tianyuan’s office together. Tomorrow is the groundbreaking ceremony. Jiang Xiaobai asked Deputy Li Shu if there was anything he needed help with.

Ji Li is now from the Hua Qing family. As the leader of the Hua Qing family, Jiang Xiaobai naturally has to help those who follow him.

 The nature of capital is to stick together. This is true for foreign funds and domestic capital. With the further development of the economy, this situation will be further aggravated.

 Because in the future everyone will play in the ecosystem, which requires support from upstream and downstream, as well as the help of strategic partners.

 In fact, this principle is the same everywhere. It is a strategic goal to make fewer enemies and make more friends.

Uncle Li shook his head. There is nothing he needs help with. Everything that should be prepared in the past two days has been prepared. However, in the evening, he plans to invite some guests who will come to watch the ceremony tomorrow and attend the groundbreaking ceremony tomorrow to sit down in advance. Have a meal.

 I hope Jiang Xiaobai can attend.

“Those people?” Jiang Xiaobai asked.

Uncle Li replied: “They are all peers and upstream and downstream suppliers.”

 Jiang Xiaobai nodded: "Okay, no problem, I will definitely participate."

When Uncle Li saw that Jiang Xiaobai agreed, he got up to say goodbye and get ready to go. After Yin Mingshan and Jiang Xiaobai chatted for a while, they got up and went to the Huahai Automobile Technology Department. Lifan Motors also had technicians and engineers working with Huahai Automobile. The technical department would like to discuss some technical issues.

With Tian Yuan, Jiang Xiaobai, Zhang Tingting and a few other people left in the office, Tian Yuan reported on the recent development of Huahai Automobile.

 Since Luofu Automobile has successfully rolled off the production line, the first batch of overseas orders have been successfully delivered. MG Motor is also preparing for production. The Huahai Automobile Factory plans to continue production according to the original models and so on.

 In terms of the original models, they are slowly upgraded and replaced, and there is no rush to improve. Of course, Huahai Automobile's technology is much better than Geely Automobile and Lifan Automobile.

  Geely Motors and Lifan Motors do not understand the technology they acquired from Huahai Automobile Factory. However, Huahai Automobile does not have such a problem. They have the technology and some engineers originally acquired from the north.

 It is certainly no problem to fully understand the acquired technology, but it is not that simple to further upgrade it.

 These things have to come little by little.

Furthermore, MG Motor is a sports car, while Huahai Motors did not have much accumulated technology in this area at the time, and it cannot be said that it can be improved at once.

 In this acquisition, there is Aston Martin abroad, which is also a sports car. The technology and materials of the two brands of cars must be integrated and thoroughly studied before the cars can be upgraded.

So it is not a matter of urgency. Jiang Xiaobai also understands this and does not rush Huahai Automobile to come. Now Huahai Automobile has a very rich technical reserve. The next step only needs to be done step by step. It will not take long. Huahai Automobile can truly have the strength of a world-class automobile manufacturer.

 At that time, although some brands and the like will also enhance the brand awareness of Huahai Automobile, they will not be that important.

After Tianyuan finished his report, he put down the materials in his hand. This was because he knew Jiang Xiaobai was coming in advance and was ready to report.     But there are still some tasks that are not written in the materials.

For example, the dispute over the intellectual property rights of the Rover 45 model and Bentian Motors. In fact, many of the intellectual property rights of the MG45 model originated from Bentian. The dispute between the MG45 model and Bentian came from the original Rover Motors. At that time, Luofu Automobile had a glorious history, but it also fell into decline very early.

There was a time when I relied on benzene to make a living, but I also relied heavily on benzene for many things.

For example, the first-generation Rover 200 is based on the second-generation Ballade, and the second-generation Rover 200 series is based on the Concerto, the successor model of the Ballade.

The subsequent Rover 800 series executive-class sedans were based on the first-generation Honda Mileage Legend released in 1985. However, Rover also made some innovations later, such as adding a two-door version. However, this drastic innovation was only a mere It is superficial innovation, but it is more "British style" in terms of appearance.

Of course, that’s not to say that Rover Motors doesn’t want to add some innovations in core aspects. For example, in terms of engine configuration, it also provides Rover and Benton with various options from 2.0 self-priming to 2.7V6.

However, the reliability of the "improved" Rover 800 series was worrying, but the mileage of the Benton field on the same platform was no problem. This was a slap in the face, and Rover itself later gave up.

  The Rover 400 series has also developed two generations of models since 1990. The second generation model is based on the local high-end line of the fifth generation Civic EG - Domani, which is the successor of Concerto.

 By the third-generation model, Rover made a minor facelift based on the second-generation 400 series and changed its name to Rover 45. Anyway, there should not be too much cooperation between the two parties.

The same is true for MG, the key part of the intellectual property rights belongs to Bentian Motors, which owns many design rights of the MG Rover 45.

“The intellectual property rights of the MGZS platform, which is also the MG45 platform, belong to Bentian Motors. Initially, Bentian Motors allowed MG Rover to use this technology in the form of a license.

But now Huahai Automobile has acquired Luofu, but Bentian has not agreed to authorize the use of this technology. In this way, if Huahai Automobile produces the MG45 series sedans, it may cause cross-border intellectual property disputes.

This is also something Tianyuan is worried about. Previously, Jiang Xiaobai was on a business trip over the grassland, and Tianyuan went to the magic city several times to discuss this matter with Zhang Weiyi.

However, when it comes to cross-border intellectual property disputes, Zhang Weiyi does not dare to make decisions without authorization and asks Tian Yuan to wait until Jiang Xiaobai comes back.

"Director Jiang, we didn't pay attention to this matter before, but during the follow-up review, we found that the two parties had disputes in this aspect, but we have already planned the factory area, and this place has already been flown out. If there is no production, if…"

 Tianyuan said with a headache.

 Jiang Xiaobai thought about it carefully. In his previous life, there was a dispute between Luofu Automobile and Nanjing SAIC Motor. He remembered that there seemed to be such a thing.

 It was because Nanjing Automobile acquired the production technology of the MG45, and it seemed that it was hesitant to produce it. Later, until Nanjing Automobile was acquired by SAIC, it never produced it.
