Chapter 740: Official Non-Official
When the time entered March. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yuyao Technology's business pass project was officially handed over to Galaxy Co., Ltd. in the form of authorized production.
As soon as the plan to produce 500,000 units a year and achieve annual sales of 1 billion yuan was exposed, the entire industry was shaken, and the company's stock price soared like a rocket.
Yuyao Technology's two self-owned production bases are all invested in the production of MP3 players, and the second-generation product has set off a second round of sales boom in the American market with the ability to download songs directly on the Internet.
High profits, huge market, simple structure, and low entry threshold have made many electronics companies ready to move.
However, a court subpoena from the Recording Association of America was like a bucket of ice water poured down, causing the entire industry to start a cautious wait-and-see.
Although Yuyao Technology's production base is in China, its parent company is in San Francisco, USA, so as soon as the court summons was received, Xi Meijuan immediately called Fu Zhengyi.
Stretching out his hand from the quilt and fumbling on the bedside table to find the mobile phone connected, Fu Zhengyi yawned and said strangely after listening to what happened. "Didn't you already arrange for the formation of a lawyer team and prepare materials three months ago?"
"Boss, the problem is that the second-generation product can be downloaded directly through the Internet, and it is different from the first-generation product in terms of nature......"
"So what? Yuyao Technology did not encourage buyers to download those unlicensed genuine songs on the Internet, but the company reminded them in the most eye-catching font on the instruction manual, and buyers must use authorized genuine sources to download, and Amazon's music store has not been launched?"
Xi Meijuan has a kind of boredom when she meets a soldier. The problem is that users don't go to Amazon's music store to pay to download genuine songs, but mostly download them through unauthorized websites!"
"So what's the matter with us? If our company produces kitchen knives and someone kills someone with the kitchen knives we sell, does the company still need to be responsible for compensation? If riaa doesn't catch pirated websites and hold pirated websites accountable, how can they ask us to stop selling mp3s?"
"Boss! This kind of rhetoric, the judge will not accept it......"
Before Xi Meijuan's words were finished, Fu Zhengyi interrupted. "That's why I asked you to start preparing for the lawsuit three months in advance! That's what the lawyer team does?"
"The problem is that if the lawsuit is lost, the high copyright compensation is enough to make Yuyao Technology bankrupt......"
"Then don't lose! Didn't you tell me that I was already looking for the best lawyer in the country? If one team is not enough, then find two, and if two is not enough, then find three! This lawsuit must be won! No matter what the cost, it must be won! What is the problem?"
"Uh...... It's gone!"
"Remember to look at the time in the future, it's half past three in the morning on my side......"
After complaining and hanging up the phone, Fu Zhengyi simply turned off the phone and quickly retracted his arm into the quilt.
Liu Meijia, who was woken up, turned around and hugged him tightly, a little worried. "Is it Xi Meijuan's phone?
"yes, it's going to be fought sooner or later. It's been three months since the U.S. lawyer team was formed, and I'm a little anxious when the RIAA subpoena doesn't come anymore......"
"How can there be a guy like you, still waiting to be a defendant?"
"That's right, the lawyers' team costs more than $300,000 a month! These American litigators are no better than domestic lawyers, they all charge by the hour, and they have to pay $30,000 for their meetings and companies every six months! If they don't let them go to the court to do their business, won't they all be dragged down by them......
Amused by Fu Zhengyi's words, Liu Meijia raised her hand and slapped him on the chest. "You, you, how can this be said is the same as driving a pig into the slaughterhouse, the most afraid of that is a lawsuit, a lawsuit may not be able to have a result for a few years, when I had tea with Xi Meijuan before, she said that she was worried about this, I thought you wouldn't launch a new product so soon......"
Grabbing the soft soft wattle and touching it lightly in her palm, Fu Zhengyi smiled. "Anyway, this lawsuit is definitely going to be fought. Sooner or later, this part will be involved, so it is better to go head-to-head with RIAA as soon as possible and determine the winner and loser, I think the launch of the Amazon Music Store is a good opportunity, so I simply pushed the second-generation product to the market in advance and successfully made RIAA pop up. Otherwise, there will definitely be electronics companies in the United States who want to follow, and the start of this lawsuit can at least buy the company half a year, and the profits obtained after half a year are enough to fight a protracted battle with the RIAA......"
"What's on your mind? People are afraid to deal with these official agencies in the United States, but it's better that you take the initiative to provoke the RIAA, do you know how much the RIA collects every year?"
Fu Zhengyi laughed. "How can you know the result if you don't try? Anyway, if the lawsuit really loses, Yuyao Technology's previous profits will be immediately spent in the form of investment, and then riaa wants to execute, and the head office in San Francisco doesn't have much money!"
Don't think that the US tax authorities are idle eaters, you dare to mess around, and guarantee that the enterprises under your name will be affected, and the court's judgment will not be a joke, and you can't hide from it......
Sensing that Liu Meijia was in the spirit and admitting the truth, Fu Zhengyi was sleepy at this time, and his upper and lower eyelids were fighting, so he hugged him in his arms and muttered. "Don't discuss this, you will still attend the unveiling ceremony of the branch tomorrow morning, many big people will be present, I am not responsible for the black circles under my eyes......"
"I don't blame you! People haven't even reversed the jet lag, they were tossed by you first, and they were woken up again not long after they fell asleep......
After complaining, Liu Meijia found that Fu Zhengyi, who hugged her tightly, had fallen asleep, she quietly turned around and looked at him carefully through the moonlight that spilled in through the gap in the curtains, and soon looked a little stupid.
Sunny, handsome, kind, no one can stand out in terms of making money, the assets owned in just a few years are incalculable, but they are still busy and hard, and they also smashed the eye-catching dollars into the foundation, and transferred them back to China in a 'charitable' way, but they never cared!
Thinking of what she learned when she asked Xi Meijuan out for tea in San Francisco, Liu Meijia couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips to show a helpless expression.
The San Francisco Chinese Chamber of Commerce hopes that Xi Meijuan can take a temporary position in the Chamber of Commerce, and hopes to use the reputation of the [FL North America Venture Capital Company] managed by her to speak out on behalf of the Chinese to seek more rights and interests for the Chinese in the United States.
But who can believe that Xi Meijuan is just a supervisor of the Fu Justice faction in the past, although she receives a high salary and gains the envy of people in the United States, but in fact, everything she does is instructed by the big boy who is sleeping in her arms?
Thinking about it, Liu Meijia still fell asleep under sleepiness.
However, when she and the leaders of the China Banking Regulatory Commission, the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government cut the ribbon for the official opening of the American Jiamei Bank in the magic capital, the Hanzhou Intermediate People's Court was defeated in the cold court against Mingting and Hanzhou Commercial Bank.
After listening to the judge's verdict, Fu Mingting sat down slowly, with neither anger nor sadness in her expression, only a faint regret and a sneer that was not easy to be noticed.
Although he knew for a long time that there would be no miracle in the second trial, lawyer Zheng Dawei still habitually turned his face and whispered comfort. "It's okay, we can apply for a retrial, and at present, the domestic legal scholars have begun to discuss this case, and the bad rule that bank employees are responsible for protecting bank property must be revoked......
"Lawyer Zheng, there is no need to apply for a retrial. The current domestic environment simply does not support the emergence of such precedents. Besides, even if it wins the Hanzhou Commercial Bank, there will be this bank and that bank that will come out and resolutely refuse to enforce it......"
"But this lawsuit, your cousin said that it must be fought to the end......"
Fu Mingting glanced at the judge who was leaving quickly, and shook her head. "If I don't sign the documents applying for a retrial, will justice be prepared to forge my signature?"
"He's definitely not going to do this......" Shaking his head with a wry smile, lawyer Zheng Dawei hesitated before continuing. "It's okay, anyway, the statute of limitations for applying for retrial is two years, the documents have already been prepared, you can come and sign at any time, and the rest will be handled by the firm, which will not interfere with your life and ......work."
picked up the purse and Fu Mingting was about to leave, but the director of the office of Hanzhou Commercial Bank came to her and said in a very pitiful tone. "Xiaofu, why do you have to make such a fuss? Didn't I tell you last time, as long as you apply for some subsidies from the bank on the grounds of living difficulties, you will definitely be approved. The president specially told the office that as long as you withdraw the lawsuit, this matter will be handled quietly for you. Look at it, don't you still lose the second instance now? Even if this kind of case breaks through the sky, no court in any place will rule that the bank loses......
"Director Chen, my life and work are very good, and they will be much better than before! I don't need any subsidies in the industry, let alone anyone to pity and sympathize. I will soon go to work in the magic capital, Hanzhou Commercial Bank is too small in scale and too low in influence, for me to do this must be everywhere to find a relationship, spend a lot, I hope not to affect the welfare of employees. Hanzhou Commercial Bank out of Hanzhou City will not affect anyone, let alone cause any trouble to my career, you help me tell the president, he is really thinking too much!"
"Huh, you've got a job?"
"Of course, an excellent employee like me will be welcomed wherever he goes," Speaking of this, Fu Mingting took out the business card case from her purse, pulled one out of it and handed it over. "Thanks to the bank's concern, I am now the vice president of the first branch of Jiamei Bank in China, Hanzhou is too small, it is estimated that even if you come to open a branch in the future, it will be at most level 3, if you have any ideas, remember to give me a call......
walked out with a reserved smile, and when Fu Mingting raised her face to feel the sunshine, Director Chen, who was holding her business card, was dumbfounded...... (To be continued.) )
