Chapter 568 "Trump Card"

The Mid-Autumn Festival passed just like that, and for Chen Zhe, it seemed that there was only thrill but no danger.

However, the consequences are serious, and it is already on the verge of collapse.

Yu Xian probably wouldn't specifically look for Song Shiwei's contact information to ask her what she did at the East Lake North Campus on Mid-Autumn Festival.

But whenever they meet again, both of them promise to be willing to "talk things out".

However, Chen is still unable to return to the mainland, as the lawsuit has not yet been resolved, despite having gained a certain advantage by striking first.

However, in Hong Kong, the other side still has more influence than mainland companies in terms of public opinion and the judicial system.

Psion filed a lawsuit on the 14th, and the Kowloon Magistrates' Courts are scheduled to hold a hearing on the 19th. It would be truly strange if this wasn't a case of super-VIPs cutting in line.

On the 15th, Yang Jianguang, the vice dean of the CUHK Law School, led a team to Hong Kong. At this time, the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday was not yet over, but everyone was in a hurry.

With the help of Director Gu and others, some local Hong Kong legal teams also chose to support retroactive prosecution.

The main person in charge was Fang Lang, who was also a top student at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Although he had studied in the UK, he identified himself as Chinese and therefore leaned towards the Communist Party leading Hong Kong.

However, when everyone sat down to discuss the matter, Attorney Fang bluntly stated that he was not optimistic about the outcome of the lawsuit.

The backtracking was an attempt to exploit a loophole in the Symbian system and expand the influence of their own software.

Although it claims to be free and not profitable, the chain of evidence is too weak.

Now the only option is to focus on its "public welfare" aspect and try to position the phone tracking assistant as a completely public service; at least that way we can still put up a fight.

"So that means we provided too little evidence?"

Chen asked.

This was the first time so many outsiders had sat in the small conference room of the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office, but everyone was very well-behaved and did not wander around, look around, or ask questions.

"Too few."

Fang Lang answered succinctly.

Chen Zhe glanced at Deputy Director Gu Shengtong and Deputy Director Zhang Zhiming, both of whom frowned.

It would be much easier if this were done on the mainland; there are indeed too many obstacles in Hong Kong.

The people at Psion probably knew that you could cut in line in Hong Kong, but not in mainland China.

This document is incomplete. It has been sent back for resubmission. Please submit the missing documents again after 30 working days (excluding holidays).

The document was missing; it was sent back for revision. It will be supplemented within thirty working days (excluding holidays).

Once you believe all the materials are complete, the deadline for appeal has passed. Please resubmit the relevant materials and go through the process again.

If you can't even hold a court hearing, what's the point of talking about who wins and who loses?
Another issue with Hong Kong is that it has nominally returned to China and is now under Chinese jurisdiction.

If they lose the case, when those people publicize it, they can say that they lost the case back in China, which is like killing someone and also destroying their spirit.

Chen looked troubled.

He's a key figure now, and even the slightest change in his expression is immediately noticed.

However, after a moment, Chen made up his mind and slowly said, "The Android version of the Backtracking Assistant is almost finished and can be put into use at any time."

The moment these words were spoken, everyone in the conference room was stunned.

"I remember the statement said that you would be launching it [soon]."

Attorney Fang adjusted his glasses: "So 'recently' means 'today'?"

"It's not today, it'll probably be three or four days from now."

Chen smiled and said, "If the Android version of the Backtracking Assistant is launched, what significance will it have for this lawsuit?"

"The win rate will be greatly improved!"

Attorney Fang Lang's expression finally shifted from one of gloomy, troublesome worry to one of considerable excitement as he spoke:
"When there was only one software, it was difficult to clearly define the public welfare nature of the mobile assistant."

"Now that the second product has been launched, I am able to clearly explain its social value and public welfare positioning to the judge in court."

"Don't worry, Hong Kong courts are a place for arguing and debating. As long as your Android app is available, I'm confident I won't lose and will strive for an out-of-court settlement."

Everyone can understand why Fang Lang is so energetic; if he wins this case, his law firm will gain greater recognition. Besides gaining favor with the mainland government, Fang Lang will be the first choice for any domestic company looking to find a lawyer in Hong Kong to resolve disputes.

However, Gu Shengtong and other leaders were puzzled by Chen's actions.

After the first meeting, Gu Shengtong and Zhang Zhiming pulled Chen Zhe aside, and Zhang Zhiming couldn't help but speak first:
"Mr. Chen, everyone knows that the Android version of the phone traceability assistant is our trump card, so why did you just say it outright?"

President Zhang meant that if it were brought out on the day of the trial, it would become an unexpected and devastating weapon.

If we expose ourselves now, the other party might become more cautious.

Gu Shengtong shook his head and said, "There were some people in the meeting room just now who aren't really our people. I'm worried that the message might get passed on to them."

Although Fang Lang identifies with the mainland, not everyone in his legal team shares this view.

In fact, Director Gu had already been very tactful; it was almost certain that Psion would find out.

Just like we have informants around the Psion company group, they will also try to obtain information from us. The censorship in Hong Kong is not as strict as in mainland China.

"My thoughts are as follows, esteemed leaders."

Knowing he was taking a risk, Chen explained in detail: "Although this is a trump card, Attorney Fang also said that at most we can get an out-of-court settlement, and it will still be very difficult to win."

"what do you mean?"

As Zhang Zhiming spent more time with Chen Zhe, he realized that Chen Zhe was a young man who appeared calm and composed but was actually very bold and decisive.

"I want to test them."

Chen stroked the rim of the teacup: "A draw is acceptable for the retrospective, but not for them. So, knowing that I have this trump card, and seeing the increasing difficulties, they will probably resort to even more extreme measures."

Gu Shengtong and Zhang Zhiming exchanged a glance.

What other extreme measures can Psion take?
It's nothing more than exposing that Chen used cultural relics to bribe them.

This is a criminal act; not only will it ruin his reputation, but it will also send Chen to jail.

but!

The artifact is fake!

Zhang Zhiming suddenly realized: "So you said that on purpose just now to provoke them into taking this path, and then watch them make a fool of themselves, turning this lawsuit into a joke."

"I don't know if it will work, but I have to try."

Chen scratched his head, looking harmless like a shy college student.

"It's a bit risky, but it's worth a try."

Director Gu commented, "This doesn't seem like a business competition tactic; it's more like a political maneuver."

Chen maintained his smile, thinking to himself that in this day and age, whether in the East or the West, "politics and business" are essentially one family.

Around 5 p.m., Gu Shengtong suddenly received a secret report that Smith, the "human rights organization foundation" member in Pasion's team, had crossed the border at Luohu.

But the others remained in Hong Kong.

Following the second confidential report, it is said that Pasion contacted a reporter from Phoenix TV (which is not yet a state-owned enterprise).

They stated that they will hold a press conference the day after tomorrow to announce the illegal activities of Chen Zhe, the founder of Tracing Technology.

The third secret report came from within the country.

After clearing customs, Smith flew directly to the capital. With the assistance of the branch office and certain forces, he contacted Sohu and Sina, the most popular portal websites at the time, and published a message.

Of course, they still know their limits in China and never mention Chen's illegal deeds.

It was only mentioned that due to the technical dispute between Psion and Tracing Technology, they planned to hold a press conference in Hong Kong to resolve the issue. Those who are interested can pay attention to it.

This is where their cunning lies. They clearly intend to kill Chen, but they use the pretext of resolving a technical dispute, making the general public believe it's just a simple business issue.

Even so, it still alarmed a number of people.

For example, Zheng Weizhong, who is on the move.
