Life 1984

Li Yunhai certainly knows that what Huaqiangbei is best at is counterfeiting.

But I didn't expect that as early as the 1990s, the talented people here had already begun the road of imitation.

This matter is not difficult to deal with. If there is something for sale, it is not difficult to find the source of production as long as you follow the clues.

Li Yunhai has absolutely zero tolerance for such counterfeiting.

Counterfeit and shoddy products harm the reputation of the original manufacturer.

Because the vast majority of consumers cannot tell the authenticity of a product.

Not to mention the 1990s, even in later generations, many people have no concept of genuine products.

Sihai Group creates high-quality products and brands.

Once a brand's reputation is broken, it is extremely difficult to restore it.

After leaving, Li Yunhai immediately went to the nearby Industrial and Commercial Bureau, showed his identity, explained the fake goods he had seen before, and asked the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to go and conduct an inspection.

Professional matters should be left to professionals.

Back to the hotel, it was already evening.

Everyone was tired after a long day and took a rest after dinner.

Guo Wanhua came to Li Yunhai's room.

"Yunhai, I am responsible for counterfeiting our products."

"Sister Guo, what is your responsibility? This has nothing to do with you."

"But I'm in charge of Lingnan's business."

"You are just the manager, and you don't know that there are counterfeit goods here. Don't worry about this. I believe we will be able to crack down on them soon."

"Hey, what do you think they are trying to do? Isn't it good to sell our brand of computers? Do you have to make a fake one?"

"Of course it's for the greater good. The accessories they use are all the lowest-end products. With our trademark on them, they can maximize profits."

"This behavior will absolutely not be tolerated."

"of course."

"I have signed up on behalf of the company for the land auction the day after tomorrow."

"What about that land? Have you visited it?"

"I've gone to see it. The location is very good. Let's go see it tomorrow? You have to agree. Anyway, the auction won't start until tomorrow."

"What's the current land price in Pengcheng?"

"It's hard to say. Land prices in each district are different, and house prices vary greatly. House prices in Luohu District can sell for 4,000 yuan per square meter, while some places can only sell for 1,600 yuan."

"That's true. Let's take a look at the specific situation first, and then make an offer based on the plot of land."

The two chatted, and Guo Wanhua exuded a faint fragrance.

Li Yunhai couldn't help but feel dizzy when he thought about the years of love between the two.

He couldn't help but stretched out his hand and touched the back of Guo Wanhua's hand.

Guo Wanhua took it out and hit him lightly.

Li Yunhai put it to his mouth and smelled it.

Guo Wanhua said with a blushing face: "You are a person who has no shortage of women, do you need to be like this?"

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "I don't lack women, but I lack you."

Guo Wanhua lowered her eyes and said, "Isn't it good for us to maintain our current relationship?"

Li Yunhai said: "Don't you miss me?"

Guo Wanhua said faintly: "I think! How can I not think about it? But I am used to being alone."

The two looked at each other, speechless.

There was a knock on the door.

Li Yunhai stood up and opened the door.

Professor Ni walked in and said with a smile: "Mr. Guo is here too! I came to talk to Mr. Li about something."

Guo Wanhua stood up and said, "You guys can talk, I'm going back to my room to rest."

Professor Ni smiled and said: "Did I come at the wrong time? Did I disturb you two?"

Guo Wanhua said: "Professor Ni, your words will cause ambiguity!"

Professor Ni laughed.

Guo Wanhua left happily.

Professor Ni took out several identical parts, placed them in front of Li Yunhai, and said, "Mr. Li, I tested these parts."

Li Yunhai said: "Professor Ni, we have plenty of time. You don't have to work overtime like this. You should pay more attention to rest."

Professor Ni said: "I'm fine, I'm in good spirits. As long as I have something to do, I'm full of energy. If you ask me to rest, I won't be able to sit still."

Li Yunhai smiled and said: "You, you, you can be a role model! When I came to Beijing last time, I went to the Chinese Academy of Sciences and nominated you to be elected as an academician."

Professor Ni was stunned and said, "Ah? How can I be so virtuous and capable?"

Li Yunhai said seriously: "Based on your conditions, you are fully qualified to become an academician. Of course, we only have the right to nominate. Whether it can pass the review depends on the review at the end of the year."

The scientific community, enterprises, institutions and all sectors of society can nominate candidates to the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Nomination materials include the nominee's resume, major scientific research achievements, etc. These materials need to pass preliminary review to ensure that they meet the selection conditions.

It must go through a preliminary review, expert review, publicity and feedback, and then a final review.

Results usually don’t come out until the end of the year.

Professor Ni has outstanding research results and made great contributions in the field of electronic semiconductors.

These achievements are not only beneficial to Sihai Group, but also play an indelible and irreplaceable role in the development of the entire industry.

After Li Yunhai compiled the materials, he submitted the application for Professor Ni.

There are some things that people will feel resentful about if you don't do them.

If you do it before talking about it, people will naturally be grateful.

Professor Ni was like this at this moment. He took off his glasses, wiped the corners of his eyes, and said, "It's a great honor for me to meet a boss like Mr. Li. In fact, I don't care about fame and fortune."

Li Yunhai said: "Yes, I know. It is a blessing for me to meet Professor Ni in my life. If you can be promoted to an academician, it will also be a good thing for our group. Wouldn't a company with academicians in charge be more convincing? "

Professor Ni said: "Thank you, Mr. Li."

He put on his glasses, pointed at the parts and said, "These look similar, but the materials and quality are very different."

Li Yunhai picked it up, looked at it, and said, "I really can't tell. They look exactly the same."

"It's just the same appearance." Professor Ni said, "This one is imported, this one is produced by the Xiangjiang factory, and this one is produced by a local company in the mainland."

"Is the imported quality good?"

"Yes, more than a little bit good."

"Then we can only import?"

“If you want to make good products, you can only import them.”

"How is the quality of the Xiangjiang factory?"

"It's still a bit worse."

"Well, what about the price?"

"The imports are twice that of Xiangjiang and five times that of the mainland."

"That's a huge difference! We need to control costs. Professor Ni, if we produce it ourselves, can we achieve the quality of imported products?"

"We can produce and achieve this quality, but there are two problems. One is that the cost will also increase, and the other is that we do not have a patent in this area. The Xiangjiang factory has purchased a license. Needless to say, the mainland ones definitely do not have a license, but The price is cheap, and the replacement parts are very affordable. If a mobile phone is used for several years, and a certain part fails, it is of course more cost-effective to replace it with a domestic one."

"Well, it is true. There is another question. What we want to make is a thin and light mobile phone. If we order it from overseas, will the cost increase?"

"This needs to be negotiated with the factory. But it will definitely be higher."

“Then what if we purchase the license and produce it ourselves?”

"It's not impossible. You are better at calculating this cost than I am, so I won't make any more suggestions."

The two talked about it until about eleven o'clock before they took a break.

The next morning, Li Yunhai arranged for Professor Ni and others to continue to inspect the mobile phone accessories market. He and Guo Wanhua came to inspect the land that was about to be auctioned.

As soon as he arrived at the place, Li Yunhai became energetic.

He had been to Pengcheng in his previous life and was very familiar with this area, because this is the future city center!

The land that is about to be auctioned is the land where the Diwang Building is located!

The auction of this piece of land caused a stir because the transaction price of the land reached an unprecedented height, making it the king of land prices.

Because of this, this land is called the King of Land.

The building built here is called the Diwang Building.

It was Xiangjiang's company that bought the land.

deal price?

Like $1.8 million!
Li Yunhai has a deep memory of this news, so there should be no mistake.

You know, a few years ago in 1987, Pengcheng's first land auction was more than 5000 square meters, and the price was more than 500 million.

A few years later, land prices rose so fiercely!
1.8 million U.S. dollars, calculated at current prices, is equivalent to 10 billion yuan! Coupled with the cost of the building, the total investment requires about 40 billion yuan!

Li Yunhai had just finished several major projects and had just taken a breath.

There is just a little balance in the company account.

Do we need to invest in such a big project now?
However, such a good land is indeed rare.

The auction is worth one piece less.

If you want to buy land in this location in the future, it will be difficult and the price will go up.

Seeing that he kept silent, Guo Wanhua asked: "Yunhai, how are you doing? Isn't it okay?"

"The location is good!" Li Yunhai put his hands behind his back, looked at the land in front of him, and said slowly, "It's just that the investment is a bit high."

"The filming hasn't started yet! Do you know that the investment is too large?"

"Haha, I'm just guessing. The land is so big and the location is so good, how can it be expensive?"

"That's true. Well, shall we participate in the auction tomorrow?"

"Go and have a look! It must be very lively."

“There are so many companies that have signed up, and many of them are real estate developers from Xiangjiang.”

Because the filming starts tomorrow, there are a lot of people coming to see the location today.

Soon, the area was filled with luxury cars, many of them Rolls-Royce and Mercedes-Benz with dual license plates.

A fat man with a big gold chain and a slicked back hair, several large gold rings on his hands, and two gold teeth in his mouth, was all glittering with gold.

He held a cigar in his right hand, pointed at the land, and said loudly: "I will also build a building here, and I will build the first floor of Pengcheng!"

The few people following him all nodded and bowed, saying yes again and again.

Because of the close distance, the spittle spitted out by the fat man flew to Guo Wanhua's side.

Guo Wanhua stepped aside in disgust, fanned her hand, and said, "The land hasn't been taken down yet, and you're bragging here!"

The fat man turned his head sharply, and was about to get angry when he suddenly saw Guo Wanhua's stunning appearance and figure. He immediately changed his smile and said with a smile: "The beauty is right, the land is not mine yet. I mean now That's all. But please don't worry, this land belongs to me!"

Guo Wanhua sneered slightly: "Isn't this too big a statement? There are many real estate tycoons coming this time!"

The fat man said with a nonchalant expression: "Everyone else is here to accompany me in the auction! Beauty, are you also participating in the auction? If you are interested, after I take over the land, we can cooperate with you in development."

Guo Wanhua said: "No need."

The fat man took a puff of his cigar and said, "What's your last name, beauty? You look familiar to me, how about making friends? I like making friends the most. I will take you to travel around the world in the future, and I will pay for all the expenses! I am so wealthy. !”

Guo Wanhua said: "I think your waist is quite thick."

The fat man was not annoyed and said: "Beautiful women don't have to reject people thousands of miles away. We can only meet each other if we are destined."

Guo Wanhua ignored him and said to Li Yunhai, "Shall we go?"

Li Yunhai nodded.

The fat man glared at Li Yunhai and said with a chuckle: "These days, there are still people who act like gigolos and eat soft rice! What's wrong with doing something? You can make money casually!"

Li Yunhai suddenly turned around and asked in a deep voice: "Who are you talking about?"

The fat man puffed up his belly and said, "I'm talking about you. What's wrong? Do you still dare to hit me? I'm Hong Kong——"

Before he could finish speaking, a loud slap had already hit his right cheek.

Of course the person who took action was not Li Yunhai, but Ding Qiang.

When the boss has something to do, the bodyguard takes care of it.

Zhuang Yong said: "Your hands are faster than mine!"

Ding Qiang said: "The other half of my face belongs to you."

Zhuang Yong slapped the fat man on the left side of his face.

Before the fat man and his men could react, they had been slapped twice in a row!

If the first slap was unexpected, it was impossible to dodge.

That second slap could even hit someone on the face, which was enough to show that the fat man and his men were a bunch of cowards.

Li Yunhai stood calmly, motionless, with no wave on his face.

The fat man roared angrily: "Fuck you!"

Only then did the people around him react and punch him.

Zhuang Yong and Ding Qiang were too lazy to take action and gave the chance to perform to Shitou and Liang Tian.

Ever since the incident in Beijin, Li Yunhai had to have at least four bodyguards around him.

One drove for him, and the others followed him in another car.

Shitou and Liang Tian smiled crookedly, and both stepped forward, punching and kicking each other, knocking the four of them to the ground.

Ding Qiang looked at his watch and said when it was over: "It will take one minute. Have you not exercised recently?"

Shitou shook his arm: "Ding Qiang, we are already very fast!"

Ding Qiang shook his head gently: "Man, what's the use of going so fast?"

Shitou then realized that Ding Qiang was joking and smiled helplessly.

The fat man was stunned, and the cigar in his mouth fell to the ground with a bang. He twisted his fat body, turned around and ran away. Hesitating for a second was a sign of disrespect for Shitou and the others.

Li Yunhai put on sunglasses and left with Guo Wanhua.

In the afternoon, Li Yunhai asked Lin Xin to call the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to inquire about the progress of the investigation.

To his surprise, people from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau said that they had checked and found no infringement.

Lin Xin said: "Brother-in-law, they must have been perfunctory. Maybe they didn't check at all."

Li Yunhai said: "Impossible. I revealed my identity and asked them to investigate."

Lin Xin said: "Your identity is valid in Xizhou, and this is Pengcheng."

Li Yunhai looked at the time and said, "Let's go take a look. Did we all make a mistake yesterday?"

Lin Xin said: "How is that possible? I can see it really. Their machines are exactly the same as ours, and they also have our LOGO. Brother-in-law, let's go, let's catch them ourselves!"

Professor Ni and others also felt strange and wanted to follow to see what happened.

The group came to SEG Square again.

The stall in the corner is still open.

It was still the little girl who was guarding the stall.

She actually remembered Li Yunhai and the others. When she saw them coming, she smiled and said, "After shopping around, do you still think that our computers are the most cost-effective? You can buy with confidence, this is our best-selling product!"

Li Yunhai asked: "How many computers like this can you sell in a day?"

"About a dozen!" The little girl was very happy. It was obvious that her income was linked to the commission.

Li Yunhai looked at the computer carefully and asked, "Is this Sihai Computer?"

"Yes, it's Sihai Computer."

"Is your boss here?"

"The boss is not here, he is very busy. Brother, which one do you want to buy?" The little girl said quite sweetly.

Li Yunhai was no longer afraid of alerting others, because the Industrial and Commercial Bureau had already come, and people would have run away early. They still dared to sell here, so they obviously had something to rely on.

"Little girl, are you selling fake goods?" Li Yunhai said directly.

"Fake goods? Impossible! What we sell are genuine goods." The little girl said excitedly, "These products of ours are all produced in our own factory!"

"Haha, you admitted it! Can your own factory produce Sihai Computers?"

"Yes! It's very simple. I worked in a factory before, just assembling some parts together. Isn't it a computer?"

"You are infringing on the interests of Sihai Group, don't you know?"

"No infringement, we are us and they are them. These are two different brands."

"You still have a brand? What a joke! You have infringed upon the rights! Call your boss over, I can't talk to you!"

"People from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau came yesterday. They appraised it and said we did not infringe."

"Huh, really? What did they say?"

"Well, look, ours is Sihai Computer, and Sihai Group produces Alienware, Longteng Computer, and Blue Ocean Home Computer, right? These are different brands."

"Oh?" Li Yunhai was a little confused.

The little girl was afraid that Li Yunhai might not understand, so she pointed to the trademark on the computer and said, "Ours is Sihai Computer! Our trademark looks like this. Although it looks very similar to the trademark of Sihai Group, it is still different. You Look, there are two Haiou flying in ours. Sihai Group’s trademark does not have Haiou.”

The Sihai Group's trademark has always used Lin Zhi's original design, which is also Li Yunhai's greatest respect for his wife.

He took a closer look and found that the two trademarks were really different.

And what they registered is the four words "Sihai Computer"!
Sihai Group has not registered these four-character trademarks.

They are indeed high imitations.

But high imitation is still infringement!
Will Shuaifu Kang not infringe on Master Kang’s rights?
This kind of counterfeit product obviously infringes on intellectual property rights.

Identical trademarks refer to the fact that there is basically no visual difference between the trademark accused of infringement and the plaintiff’s registered trademark. (End of chapter)
