Chapter 374: The Tiger Strikes
Like an angry polar bear, Smith slammed his fingers on the table and said sharply: "Mr. Ma, do you know how much loss your behavior has brought to our company?"
Ma Zhixia came in with a confused face, looking at Smith with an ignorant expression, and the second monk was puzzled: "Mr. Smith, what did I do wrong?"
Smith waved his hands back vigorously and said sternly: "The technical formula and production process you gave us have caused immeasurable serious consequences to us!"
Ma Zhixia is full of grievances!
He thought to himself, I worked hard and tried my best to steal the trade secrets of the beautiful daily chemical factory and hand them over to you for use, so that you can produce a new category of laundry detergent such as natural soap powder without spending a high price on research and development, and you can fight Yang Fei and them head-on. How much money did you give me? You don't say that I have worked hard and have made great achievements, and you dare to scold me?
It's a pity that even if he is scolded, Ma Zhixia has to stand firm in front of the foreign management, and said with a sincere face: "Mr. Smith, isn't our natural soap powder selling very well? It won't be long before we can take the market out of the white hands!"
"What? You still want to compete for the market?" Smith took out a fax and threw it on the table in front of Ma Zhixia, "Look for yourself! It's all written in Chinese, I believe you can understand it." ”
Ma Zhixia's face was full of doubts, and when he picked up the fax file, he saw that it was actually a lawyer's letter, which was also sent by the beautiful daily chemical factory!
The letter is very clear: "This law firm, entrusted by the Southern Province Beautiful Daily Chemical Factory, relays the client's original words as follows: I am now informed that your company has used the patented technology registered by our company to produce natural soap powder without the authorization and permission of our company, and the formula and process used are consistent with our company. Please stop the relevant infringement immediately, otherwise, our company will investigate your legal responsibility according to law. Please also note that natural soap powder has become a registered trademark of our company, and no similar enterprise may use it without permission. Separately: Attach a copy of our patented technology and registered trademark. This law firm will have full authority to represent this litigation matter, and ask your company to terminate all infringements within three working days after receiving this letter, and take the initiative to compensate for the illegal profits obtained from the corresponding infringement, and also pay a number of infringement fees for the beautiful daily chemical plant. Otherwise, the law firm will sue on behalf of the lawyer. Sincerely. ”
Ma Zhixia quickly looked at it twice, and there were 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping past in his heart!
Yang Fei not only sued him, but also sued his new owner!
I always felt that Yang Fei was giggling, like a big boy next door, occasionally playing a little majestic, but I didn't think it was so great, but I didn't expect him to launch a prestige, which is more frightening than a tiger!
Ma Zhixia's head broke out in a cold sweat, and the hand holding the fax trembled slightly.
Smith propped his hands on the edge of the table and said loudly, "You give me an explanation? Why is there so much patented technology popping up? The most ridiculous thing is that they even have registered their trademarks! Why didn't you say it before?"
Ma Zhixia took a hard breath and said, "Mr. Smith, I didn't know in advance that Yang Fei had already applied for a patent for these technologies, and I didn't know that he had registered this trademark. I don't really know. ”
Smith looked at him coldly: "You used to be in the beautiful daily chemical factory, weren't you the vice president of R&D, why don't you even know such an important thing?"
"I'm only in charge of R&D. Yang Fei is a very cunning person, and no one believes him except himself. At the mention of Yang Fei, Ma Zhixia hated it so much.
"Impossible! Could it be that he went to apply for a patent and a registered trademark in person?" Smith said, "Don't take me for a fool! What should you do now? Can you tell me? We have come to your country to do business, it is very difficult, we are honest businessmen, we don't want to get into any lawsuit, any lawsuit, it is very bad for our multinational enterprises!"
Ma Zhixia wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and found that as soon as he wiped it, the sweat was gurgling out again.
"Mr. Smith, Yang Fei is pulling tiger skin to scare people! They have no evidence at all, which can prove that I stole their technology and craftsmanship!" Ma Zhixia quickly calmed down and said, "If they had evidence, they would have sued us a long time ago, instead of just sending two lawyer's letters." ”
"Huh?" Smith was furious, and began to think of a solution, and said, "Are you sure?"
Ma Zhixia said: "I'm sure they don't have evidence. Because I didn't take the original, no one searched me when I left the factory. If they do, we say that we developed the technology ourselves. With a multinational company as big as Procter & Gamble, isn't it simple to develop a natural soap powder?"
Smith's brow furrowed, "However, we still have to take risks. ”
Ma Zhixia said: "Also, as for the trademark of natural soap powder, if they are really registered, we don't need it, we can say it in another way, called natural soap powder, add one more word, it can't be regarded as infringement." And the previous fraudulent use can be completely explained, because we didn't know that they were registered before. Even if it goes to court, we are justified, and if we pay him a little money, he can't do anything to us. Our country's laws must protect foreign-funded enterprises, and Mr. Smith can rest assured of this. ”
Smith took a long breath and nodded: "Mr. Ma, you are right, I was overwhelmed by anger just now, I shouldn't have lost my temper with you." We all know what you have done to our company. Just now it was just an internal dispute, you don't take it personally. ”
Ma Zhixia smiled bitterly, thinking to himself that you are the boss, what you say is what you say, what else can I do?
Smith walked out from behind the desk and patted Ma Zhixia's arm: "This lawsuit is very unfavorable to our company, you must find a way to eliminate the impact to the minimum, if you can settle it out of court, it would be the best, go to court, no matter what the result is, it is not what we want to see." Mr. Ma, you are familiar with Meili Daily Chemical, so you will leave this matter to you. ”
Ma Zhixia has a bitter stomach, but there is no place to pour, I am familiar with them, but do I still dare to contact Yang Fei?
At that moment, the phone on Smith's desk rang.
He grabbed the phone to answer it, and at the same time motioned for Ma Zhixia to go out first.
Ma Zhixia turned his head and left, but he didn't expect that as soon as he walked to the door, he was called back by Smith again.
"Mr. Ma, please don't leave yet!" Smith's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "Something happened again! Our natural soap powder continues to receive complaints from consumers!"
