Chapter 139 Within the limits of the law
Lao Xu took two subordinates and fled back to the company in a gloomy manner, and then went to see Mr. Zou together and told him what happened.
Mr. Zou sat behind the desk, covering his forehead with his hands, his face was hard to see, and he let out a long breath: "It's our mistake......"
Lao Xu also had a bad face: "Then Mr. Zou, what should we do now?" ”
Mr. Zou thought for a while with a calm face, and then looked up to the legal counsel: "How about we sue Eternal Electronics directly?" Cracking our system and flashing our mobile phones without authorization, is this considered infringement? ”
The legal counsel was stunned for a moment and then said, "Theoretically, this is not an infringement...... If it's their mobile phone, it's an infringement to swipe our system.
"But they bought our mobile phone, the mobile phone is already theirs, and how they modify the mobile phone is their business, and we have no right to interfere."
"In fact, as a clause of the unspoken rules of the industry, brushing, jailbreaking, and cracking are not warranted, but it is a violation of the Consumer Rights Protection Law.
"Moreover, if we deliberately target Xingchen OS too deliberately, it may also cause one thing, that is, an antitrust investigation against us."
Mr. Zou and Lao Xu were both stunned, and asked puzzledly: "Why?" ”
The legal counsel said: "If there is no Xingchen OS, or the Xingchen OS system itself is a mess, then we have no problem asking our customers, they will not go to the flash, and the government has no choice, so we can only continue to use our system."
"But now, with Stellar OS, and obviously, it's better to use than our ios system. At this time, our customers have other options, and they may ask us to provide products with Xingchen OS installed.
"It's like back then, when we asked Microsoft to provide Office software under Apple. If we refuse, and claim that we don't give a warranty after brushing Xingchen OS, this is actually typical, using market dominance to suppress competitors.
"It is a typical malicious monopoly behavior, so that the Donghua government has a reason to directly intervene and launch an anti-monopoly investigation against us.
"And we also know that the Donghua government has always had a bad impression of us."
Listening to the words of the legal counsel, Mr. Zou stood up suddenly: "It's the opposite!" It's the other way around! Do we still want to protect and promote, that so-called star OS can't be achieved? When selling mobile phones, remind users that Xingchen OS is better than our iOS? ”
Legal counsel shrugged: "Of course, our position is to continue to maintain our system, but from the standpoint of the government and users, it is obviously unreasonable for you to use a better system, and you don't use it, and users are prohibited from using it themselves." ”
Mr. Zou felt the world spin for a while when he heard this, sat back in his chair in frustration, covered his forehead with his hands and said, "Don't we have a way to stop the spread of Xingchen OS?" ”
The legal counsel thought for a while and said carefully: "Within the scope of the law, we are powerless, because the other party is real, comprehensively surpasses us, and is a better product than us as a whole, and we will inevitably fail in normal competition......"
Mr. Zou raised his head with a frown, and muttered to himself: "Is it within the scope of the law......
After listening to Mr. Zou's words, Lao Xu reacted suddenly, stepped forward and said to Mr. Zou: "Lao Zou, don't mess around, you calm down first, we still have a way, we haven't completely fallen out with the Eternal Group now."
"Think about it, why are they making mobile phones? It's not because we terminated the contract with them, if we suggest that the headquarters continue to use the Eternal Group to contract in exchange for the authorization of the intelligent assistant and Xingchen OS, we can also try. ”
"Yes, yes, yes......" Mr. Zou, who had entered a dead end, couldn't help but suddenly realize, "I almost forgot...... In fact, the headquarters has already said that it will do whatever it takes to get the authorization of the intelligent assistant and Xingchen OS.
"When we started, we just habitually wanted to pay no price, and we were just habitually opportunistic. I'll call Chen Jiansheng again now. ”
Lao Xu couldn't help but nod and said, "That's right!" ”
Mr. Zou took a deep breath, asked the legal counsel and the technology to leave, and dialed Chen Jiansheng's phone again.
At this time, Chen Jiansheng had just finished a discussion meeting with the responsible persons of various fields to learn about the progress of various tasks.
Everything is going well, and the overall progress has accelerated a lot, and the phone is almost confirmed to be available ahead of schedule, so the mood is not bad.
So Chen Jiansheng, who was in a good mood, did not hang up immediately after seeing Mr. Zou's phone, but picked it up after hesitating for a while, and asked in an indifferent tone:
"Mr. Zou, I don't know what you want to say? I'm very busy right now, so please hurry up and talk about something. ”
Mr. Zou smiled and said, "Since you have something to do, Dong Chen, I will say it directly." I'm sorry Mr. Chen, but I got the company wrong this morning, but that's actually the case.
"If your company can license the intelligent assistant to our company and provide the complete code of Xingchen OS to our company, we can continue to let Eternity OEM our next generation of Apple 8 mobile phones, and the OEM price will still be ...... according to the previous practice."
Chen Jiansheng didn't wait for Mr. Zou to finish speaking, and then interrupted: "I have already said that the intelligent assistant and Xingchen OS are not our company's products, and we have no right to carry out any authorized activities.
"Then, now the production line of Eternal Electronics, in order to arrange the production of our own mobile phones, has undergone large-scale adjustments, and it is no longer possible to OEM for Apple, and it will not be OEM for Apple in the future."
Mr. Zou was stunned for a moment: "No, Chairman Chen, don't you think about it!" We can talk about licensing fees and OEM prices! ”
Chen Jiansheng said angrily: "Okay, I still have something, if Mr. Zou doesn't have anything else, I'll hang up first......"
said that there was nothing else to hang up, but Chen Jiansheng hung up directly after speaking, and did not give Mr. Zou a chance to continue talking.
Mr. Zou has never begged someone so quietly, but the other party still doesn't give face at all.
Listening to the beeping sound in the telephone receiver, Mr. Zou had a feeling that he was about to explode, and an irrepressible anger rampaged through his body, and finally broke out directly.
“FUCK!” Mr. Zou roared angrily, slammed the telephone receiver on the table, and lifted the desk with both hands, as if he wanted to lift the table, but his desk was too big and heavy, and he didn't lift it at once.
Mr. Zou was stunned for a moment, brewed his emotions, roared again, and moved the table with both hands to lift the table, but he still didn't move.
As a result, because of the excessive force, I didn't catch my breath, coughed violently twice, and sat back in the chair panting.
Mr. Zou covered his chest with both hands and hammered for a while, finally relieved himself, reached out and slammed the table, and said viciously:
"Chen Jiansheng! Good for you Chen Jiansheng! You wait for me! I'm not done with you, you're not done with the Eternal Group! It's not over! ”
