In the ardent expectation and anxious waiting of Yang Zhihe and others in the factory, good news came from the Jiangling plant: after the inspection of the engine prototype, the field investigation of the situation of the Dongfeng plant and the careful study, the Jiangling machine factory officially decided to choose the Dongfeng plant as the engine cooperation manufacturer!

Now that the cooperation between the two sides has been formalized, according to Yang Zhi's habits, a contract must be signed, and it is best to invite some heavyweight leaders to hold a cooperation signing ceremony. This can not only solemnly announce the official start of cooperation, but also a shortcut to promote Dongfeng Plant and Jiangling Plant and expand the influence of products.

Unexpectedly, this matter that was taken for granted in later generations was rejected by Zheng Yongnian. Yang Zhi, who came to meet him for this matter, was a little confused all of a sudden: I don't want to do such a thing that has all the benefits and no harm? What's going on?

Zheng Yongnian looked at Yang Zhi with a blank face, and his tone was full of disapproval: "I never believe in those contracts, agreements or anything." Can such a thin piece of paper really bind all parties? Can you make everyone do things according to the rules? It's impossible! Seeing that Yang Zhi couldn't help but want to say something, he waved his hand and continued: "In the end, it's not about the person who executes?" Isn't it about relying on righteousness? In that case, why spend so much time and effort to fix these false things? Isn't that a complete formalism! ”

Then he looked at Yang Zhi, and said earnestly: "Anyway, this cooperation is not a sure thing between you and me, as long as I trust you, you can trust me, I won't end it?" Xiao Yang, I've always admired you! Why should we dwell on these details, it is only right to hurry up and get down to business! After that, no matter how much Yang Zhi persuaded him, it would be useless, anyway, one word, cooperation is no problem, but he just doesn't sign the contract!

Yang Zhi really didn't expect such a result before he came today. In the previous meetings, Zheng Yongnian left a very good impression on Yang Zhi: bold and atmospheric, hard work, and daring. Yang Zhi was full of admiration in his heart. But today, seeing his arbitrary and conservative side, Yang Zhi knew that a person could be so complicated, and the two completely opposite aspects of the new and the old can be so vividly reflected in the same person!

Zheng Yongnian thinks that Yang Zhi is good at everything, why doesn't he know to be flexible? The mind of a young man is so rigid! And Yang Zhi also felt that Zheng Yongnian still retained that peasant style, what was not according to the rules, did not follow the procedures, and made do with it. This person has an opinion on each other in his heart, and he can't say anything together.

Words are not speculative for more than half a sentence. Since he couldn't say anything famous for so long, the conversation between the two naturally came to an end, and Yang Zhi left the Jiangling Machine Factory with mixed feelings. Although the words are quite restrained, but in any case, this meeting can indeed be regarded as an unhappy part!

Back in the factory, Yang Zhi's mind was full of the situation he had just met with Zheng Yongnian, and he had no intention of dealing with other things. It is precisely because of the cooperation with the Jiangling factory that there are many things, and many people are waiting for Yang Zhi to report to work. As a result, everyone secretly wondered, what happened to Secretary Yang? It's listless, this uncooperative thing has just become, you should be happy!

In a depressed mood, Yang Zhi casually picked up a newspaper on the table, read a few reports randomly, and didn't pay much attention to the specific content, but Yang Zhi's eyes suddenly fixed on the masthead, where it was today's date - June 12, 1989!

Yang Zhi suddenly reacted, he was in the late 80s, not the 21st century in the future! How did I involuntarily substitute the situation of the future generations? In this year, everyone knows about signing contracts, but after all, it is still in a period of economic and social transformation and change, and a perfect market economy system has not yet been established, and many relevant rules and regulations and service guidelines are naturally blank. Coupled with some traditional beliefs, it is quite common to rely on verbal agreements instead of signing contracts.

And if you really face people who are not honest and moral, even if you sign a contract, it is just a piece of waste paper, and it is not binding at all. After all, in many cases, the cost of breaking a contract is so low that it is simply negligible. Not to mention that under special circumstances, it is really difficult to define what kind of binding force this contract or agreement should have!

Let's take the "Wang Laoji" trademark dispute, which was in a uproar in the past two years and is well known throughout the country.

Wanglaoji was originally a century-old brand belonging to Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group, but because herbal tea has always been a regional beverage in Guangdong and Hong Kong, the brand does not have much influence in the national market. JDB Group saw this business opportunity and obtained the long-term right to use the trademark at a low price after bribing the main leaders of Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group at the time. Then, after a series of capital operations, advertising and marketing promotion, herbal tea was successfully labeled as green and healthy, which made a local beverage be promoted to the whole country and achieved good results. In just a few years, the sales of Wanglaoji herbal tea have exceeded 10 billion!

"Wang Laoji" has always been a state of accumulation in Guangyao before, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful, and the huge benefits are naturally tempting. At this time, the main leader of the Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group was dismissed, and the relevant criminal facts were proudly revealed, and the part about Wang Laoji gradually became clear, so the Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group filed a complaint demanding that JDB Group return the right to use the Wang Laoji trademark. A protracted trademark battle has begun!

It seems that the two sides have some reasoning, and each side has its own opinion: Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group believes that JDB originally obtained the right to use the trademark by improper means by means of bribery, and should be invalidated; JDB believes that no matter what means it is, it is written clearly and clearly in the trademark authorization contract in black and white. And in order to promote the Wanglaoji trademark for several years, JDB has spent hundreds of millions of resources to have this situation, how can it be handed over casually.

For a time, from the two sides of the case to the public opinion media, from legal experts to ordinary people, there were different opinions and interpretations of this incident. Some scolded the Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group for disregarding honesty and shame and picking peaches for their achievements, and some said that JDB started by bribery and came from an improper way

Everyone naturally knows the result, but although the lawsuit is over, the aftermath is still there, and the world has been constantly tormenting: in the face of such a situation, whether the trademark licensing contract is valid and whether its terms should continue to be enforced? In the end, should the trademark "Wang Laoji" be returned to GPC, or should JDB continue to hold and use it?
