On June 3, the high-profile case of Apple Inc. against Tianxin Technology opened in California District Court. Lu Yang, as the legal representative of Tianxin Technology, appeared in court in person, and Apple appeared in court as a major shareholder.

At around 9 a.m., the outside of the courthouse was already surrounded by the media who had arrived.

"The Apple guys are here!"

I don't know who shouted, and reporters from all walks of life swarmed around a car that had not stopped, and the door opened, and the person who came was Bill Campbell, a director of the board of directors of Apple.

"Mr. Campbell, is Apple confident of winning the case?" A reporter from ABC TV squeezed to the front and asked, holding up the microphone in his hand.

Bill Campbell ignored him, pushed through the crowd by his bodyguards, and walked into the courthouse himself and his lawyer.

"Mr. Campbell, may I ask ......?"

Other reporters chased after them, but they were all stopped by the other party's bodyguards.

"The trial is imminent, and Apple declined to be interviewed."

Although they didn't get the news from Campbell, these reporters still had what they wrote.

"Does Apple's director Wolf Bèi's evasion show a lack of confidence?"

Other reporters were angry with Campbell's attitude and deliberately exaggerated.

Ten minutes later, several cars came from the east.

"It's a Chinese person!"

"The people of Tianxin Technology are here!"

The reporter quickly turned around and walked towards the car in front.

"I recognize him, it's Lu Yang, the boss of Tianxin Technology!"

Lu Yang got out of the car and was immediately recognized by reporters, who rushed towards him desperately.

CNN's reporters took the advantageous position and were the first to grab Lu Yang.

"Hello, Mr. Lu, I am a CNN reporter, is Tianxin Technology confident that it will win the lawsuit?"

Lu Yang was taken aback by the posture of these reporters, but he still kept his composure.

"Of course." Lu Yang does not hate reporters as much as Campbell, and he is happy to convey his opinions to the outside world through the media.

"We have ample evidence to prove our innocence, in fact, everyone knows Apple's purpose, they just want to get through the guò lawsuit to prevent 'Star 1' from entering the US market." Lu Yang said very confidently.

"Apple accuses Tianxin Technology of being a plagiarist, what do you think?" The ABC reporter was a stout man who squeezed from the back to the front by taking advantage of his physical advantage.

"I admit that Apple released the iPhone earlier, but that doesn't mean that all the later ones are plagiarists. Consumers themselves can also see that there is a big difference between 'Starry Sky 1' and iPhone 3G. The biggest difference between the two is that 'Starry Sky 1' is much better than iPhone3G, which is by no means something that plagiarism can do. ”

"Mr. Lu, it is said that the U.S. Department of Commerce has rejected the application for the sale of 'Star 1' in the United States, is it true?" The Washington Post reporter asked.

Lu Yang said: "Originally, we expected to sell 'Star 1' in the United States last month, but due to Apple's lawsuit, the plan had to be changed. After that, Tianxin Technology did apply to the Ministry of Commerce, but it was not approved. I'd say that's not a fair attitude, at least for now, 'Starry Sky 1' hasn't been proven infringing. ”

……

Lu Yang was surrounded by these reporters for more than ten minutes, and it was not until Rodriguez urged him to squeeze out under the protection of the staff. More than 20 people from Tianxin Technology walked into the courthouse.

As soon as you enter the courthouse, the noisy world outside seems to be separated, and the courtroom is full of solemn atmosphere.

Lu Yang looked around curiously, this was the first time he had entered the courtroom, and he was still a defendant.

Originally, Lu Yang didn't need to be there, he could just send a representative like Apple. But in the first court debate, Lu Yang still decided to come in person. A lawsuit like this can't be ended in a day or two, and the rest of the matter will be handed over to Qi Dong, and he himself will return to China.

A court argument can be a boring affair, where lawyers on both sides come and go, blaming each other and adducing a lot of evidence in their favor. The process lasted more than three hours until the judge finally called an adjournment.

At noon, when the people from Tianxin Technology and Apple came out of the courtroom, those reporters who were waiting outside surrounded them again, although everyone knew that the first court session would definitely not have a result, but they still wanted to interview representatives of both sides and dig up the news as much as possible.

But this time, even Lu Yang was not in the mood to be interviewed, so he asked Su Yan to stay and deal with the media, and left in a hurry. Just now, he looked at his mobile phone emails, and one of them was sent by Liang Yuan.

Something big has happened to Tianxin Technology!

"Gao Yue, book me a ticket back to China immediately!"

Lu Yang, who has always been gentle, looked solemn as water at this time, which made Gao Yue look very unfamiliar.

"Boss, the fastest plane is at 8 p.m. today." Gao Yue checked the flight and said.

"Just book this class!"

"Okay."

Back at the hotel, Lu Yang made a call to Liang Yuan.

"Lao Liang, it's me." Lu Yang said in a deep voice.

"What the hell is going on with the company?"

Liang Yuan's tone on the phone was not very sure.

"I just returned to the company from Huanghuai the day before yesterday, and Chen Qi told me that during this time, Chen Jie had frequent contact with his technicians, and Chen Jie found a reason to take away their technical information. I felt that something was abnormal, so I went to other departments to investigate, and finally found that Chen Jie did have some problems, and the newly recruited technical personnel of the company last year were basically co-opted by him. Someone else told me that Chen Jie privately asked them if they were dissatisfied with the company's treatment, whether they wanted a better future, and so on. ”

"Lao Liang, you did a good job." Lu Yang pondered for a moment, "If Chen Jie really did this, he must have a problem!" ”

"Boss, the problem may not stop there, just yesterday, Chen Xi told me that she met Gao Jun, the personnel director of Yutian Electronics, in Fuhai City."

"Yutian Electronics!" Lu Yang took a breath in his heart, "You mean, this qiē is all the ghost they did behind it?" ”

"Quite possibly. When the news of Apple's lawsuit reached China, the domestic media and public opinion began to stand on the position of Tianxin Technology, and within about a week, many news alluding to Tianxin Technology's infringement began to appear on the Internet, and later expanded to newspapers. If no one had done the ghost, the situation in the country would not be like this. ”

What Liang Yuan said is not only his opinion, but also the common opinion of several executives of Tianxin Technology.

"Lao Liang, Lao Ge, what is the situation with them?"

Lu Yang's biggest concern is not public opinion, but the company's technical team, especially the three major technical executives. For Liang Yuan's loyalty, Lu Yang did not doubt it. To put it mildly, even if Liang Yuan wanted to betray Lu Yang, I am afraid that no one would be able to offer him a price for betrayal.

What does he have in Tianxin Technology far exceed his talents, what can Yutian Electronics provide?

Liang Yuan knew that Lu Yang valued technical talents, and hurriedly said: "Lao Ge, Guo Wei and Ye Bing have all communicated with me, and they should have no intention of leaving the company." ”

"That's fine." Lu Yang breathed a long sigh of relief, these three people were his most important technical assistants, if they left, the technical department of Tianxin Technology would probably be temporarily paralyzed.

"However, boss, there is another very important news...... Liang Yuan said with some hesitation, "Chen Jie transferred all the information of the tablet computer project, if he really wants to betray the company, these materials are likely to fall into the hands of Yutian Electronics." ”

Hearing his reminder, Lu Yang was also excited.

"Oops!"

The tablet is the next product that Lu Yang chooses for Tianxin Technology, and it will also be the cornerstone of Tianxin Technology's empire. Before the launch of the product, Lu Yang required all information to be kept confidential, and all relevant personnel also signed a confidentiality agreement. Originally, he thought that there should be no problem, but who knew that he would encounter betrayal by a deputy general manager like Chen Jie.

Lu Yang knew very well that if Chen Jie really wanted to jump ship to Yutian Electronics, he would definitely hand over these materials to the other party. Don't say anything about breaking the law or anything like that, even if Tianxin Technology wants to sue Chen Jie, will Yutian Electronics be afraid? Everyone knows the judicial situation in China, with the energy of Yutian Electronics, it is too common to drag this lawsuit for three or five years, and even if it wins, what can Tianxin Technology get?

The tablet project will certainly no longer be kept secret and will be at risk of being plagiarized by a competitor.

"No, the name of the pioneer must be occupied." Lu Yang's brain spun rapidly, and he gritted his teeth to make a decision.
