Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

Without the patent authorization, Hayward naturally did not dare to buy an air fryer, and Jiang Aiguo and others did not dare to continue to block Hayward, and could only let Hayward leave.

In the air fryer exhibition area, all the exhibitors were dumbfounded. At this time, they realized that without the patent authorization, the air fryer really cannot be sold.

Those french fries, fried chicken nuggets, and fried steaks stopped one after another, and the men in aprons who distributed french fries outside the exhibition area also returned to their respective exhibition areas.

Nothing sells, what chicken nuggets are being fried, and what French fries are being sold!

"Director Cai, what should we do now? Come up with a solution!" Everyone turned their attention to Cai Qianjin.

The one who danced the most yesterday was Cai Qianjin, and the one who rushed in front of Li Weidong was also Cai Qianjin. Now everyone should take Cai Qianjin as the core and let Cai Qianjin make up his mind.

Cai Qianjin pondered for a moment, then said, "Li Weidong has even registered an international patent. Unlike us, foreigners pay special attention to patent protection. Now it seems that if we want to sell air fryers, we can't get around Li Weidong's hands. The patent has been obtained. Well, let's talk to Li Weidong."

Cai Qianjin said, and brought everyone to Li Weidong.

At this time, Li Weidong was holding a teacup in his hand. This is the exclusive service provided by senior waiter Ma Dexing.

Ma Dexing, on the other hand, happily held the contract for 30,000 air fryers.

This contract is more than 5.7 million US dollars last year, reaching 6 million US dollars. Of course, Ma Dexing will not be too little. Considering that there are so many exhibitors selling air fryers and the competition is so fierce, it is beyond Ma Dexing's expectations to get a large order of US$6 million.

Seeing Cai Qianjin approaching, Li Weidong did not agree to him, but sipped the tea and looked very intoxicated, as if the taste of the tea was very good.

"Director Li, you're not busy, let's chat?" Cai Qianjin said, but there was no softness in his tone, but a breath of suffocation.

After all, Cai Qianjin is a cadre of the provincial foreign trade department. Usually, companies bow their heads to him. How could he bow to companies! Now facing Li Weidong, an entrepreneur, Cai Qianjin is still habitually posing a high-level attitude.

"Hey, it's Director Cai!" Li Weidong pretended to be flattered and asked, "Director Cai has something to do with me?"

"Can you take out the patent for your air fryer and share it with everyone!" Cai Qianjin pointed to the surrounding exhibitors.

"Share?" Li Weidong chuckled.

He opened his mouth and said, "Director Cai, if it's about the patent of the air fryer, we don't have to talk about it anymore.

Yesterday, I repeatedly asked you whether we should negotiate, and your original words were, 'What can we negotiate with you'! Since Director Cai feels that there is nothing to negotiate with me, then we have nothing to talk about! "

Li Weidong said, deliberately blowing the tea in his hand, and said to the exhibitors behind Cai Qianjin: "And everyone, I also asked you yesterday if we want to negotiate about the air fryer, and you all refused. what!

I remember that at that time someone said, don't talk about patents, let me sue if I have the ability; they also said that I used a broken patent to scare people. In that case, don't talk about my patent-breaking thing now! "

"Li Weidong, do you know that you are making a mistake. Your selfish behavior has affected the country's export earnings!" Cai Qianjin said sharply.

"Then go and sue me!" Li Weidong said in an anti-guest manner.

"Don't think that I dare not sue you. We will go to the leaders of the ministries and commissions now, and tell the leaders about your behavior of destroying the country's export and foreign exchange earnings, and let the leaders do justice!" Cai Qianjin said.

"Everyone listens and respects!" Li Weidong spread his hands.

"Li Weidong, aren't you afraid of causing public anger by doing this?" Cai Qianjin asked angrily.

"Director Cai, your idea is very strange. We are competitors from the beginning, right? Have you ever seen a businessman who is afraid of offending his competitors? Before competitors, they were supposed to be hostile to each other!"

Li Weidong smiled slightly, and then said, "Don't think that you will be rascals, I will too! If you are scoundrels, at most, I will have no meat to eat; if I am scoundrels, you will not even be able to drink soup!"

Li Weidong was also not used to these people, and went back angrily. Anyway, he is not under the jurisdiction of Cai Qianjin, even if he has torn his face with Cai Qianjin, Cai Qianjin can't do anything about him.

...

Having touched Li Weidong's nose, Cai Qianjin and others retreated to the side in embarrassment and continued to discuss countermeasures.

Jiang Aiguo was the first to ask: "Old Cai, what should we do now? We offended Li Weidong so badly yesterday, and we said all the cruel things. If we go to him for help now, he will definitely not help us!"

"Yeah, if I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have offended Li Weidong yesterday."

"Yesterday Li Weidong asked us to negotiate, let's just talk to him, the business is not good and righteous, now it's good, talk to others, they don't talk to us anymore."

"We shouldn't listen to Director Cai, he and Li Weidong are hard-headed, what are we going to mess with!"

Cai Qianjin was also full of depression, and it was indeed very painful to be slapped in the face after making outrageous remarks.

I saw Cai Qianjin snorted coldly and said, "Listen to what you mean, it's my fault? Yesterday, Li Weidong asked for a patent license fee of 20 yuan. You haven't come out against it one by one. Even if you don't have me, you will pay that. 20 dollars!

Besides, Li Weidong has applied for a patent, why should he take it out for you to use? In this world, which patent does not charge for? Even if you do not offend Li Weidong, Li Weidong will not give you the patent for free! "

Cai Qianjin said something, and everyone shut up.

"Old Cai, don't complain, now we are sitting on the same boat, come up with an idea!" Jiang Aiguo said.

Cai Qianjin pondered for a moment, and said, "Let's go to the leaders of the ministries and commissions now, and say that Li Weidong has destroyed our export earnings! The ministries and commissions value exports the most, and then we will ask the ministries and commissions to give orders to force Li Weidong to air-fry. Hand over the patent for the pot!"

...

Liu Dawei once again signed the word "read" on the document.

There was a knock on the door, and the secretary walked in in a panic.

"Leader, there is a large group of people outside, they want to see you." The secretary said.

"Who are there in a large group of people?" Liu Dawei asked in surprise.

"There are representatives from several provinces, about a dozen people, led by Cai Qianjin and Jiang Aiguo." The secretary replied.

Liu Dawei thought about it and said, "There are too many people, I can't sit here, let them wait in the office outside, and I'll go out immediately."

Cai Qianjin and others were invited to the large office outside, and Liu Dawei tidied up his clothes and then walked out.

"Director Liu, you have to give us justice!" Cai Qianjin said.

"What happened? Say something slowly." Liu Dawei said calmly, he was ready to play Tai Chi.

"Director Liu, Li Weidong, an exhibitor from Handong Province, he deliberately demolished the platform, destroying our tens of millions of dollars in export orders!" Cai Qianjin said exaggeratedly.

"A big order worth tens of millions of dollars!" Liu Dawei sucked in a breath of cold air, and then said: "What happened at the specific time, please tell me in detail."

Cai Qianjin explained: "We have a product in our province, and we have already negotiated the price with foreign businessmen. Seeing that the foreign businessman is about to place an order, Li Weidong suddenly stepped in and told the truth in front of the foreign businessman, and the foreign businessman would not buy our product. product!"

Liu Dawei's brows tightened slightly. He was not a fool, so he naturally knew that there must be moisture in Cai Qianjin's words. Foreign businessmen are not fools. How could they be just a few words of right and wrong and cancel orders worth tens of millions of dollars.

Liu Dawei knows with his butt that things are not as simple as Cai Qianjin said!

So Liu Dawei asked, "Xiao Cai, what are you talking about that can sell for tens of millions of dollars?"

"Air fryer!" Cai Qianjin replied.

"An air fryer again? Yesterday, Ma Dexing looked for me for this air fryer, but I got mixed up with the slime. Now Cai Qianjin has brought so many people here because of this air fryer. It seems that this Things can't continue and become muddy, they have to be completely resolved."

Although Liu Dawei is good at reconciling mud, he also knows when this mud should be reconciled and when it should not be reconciled. Judging from the current situation, the contradiction has intensified, and Liu Dawei can no longer continue to be in the mud. He has to be a peacemaker and solve the problem.

"Xiao Cai, I can't just listen to and believe in this matter. Well, I'll call all the parties involved and first ask what's going on."

Liu Dawei turned his head and instructed the secretary: "Go and call and call Ma Dexing, and also the exhibitor named Li Weidong."

...

Li Weidong and Ma Dexing came to the temporary office of the ministry. At this time, Liu Dawei knew that the valet behind Ma Dexing yesterday was the Li Weidong mentioned in Cai Qian's import.

Liu Dawei said straight to the point; "Since everyone is here, let's talk about today's matter. Director Li, Director Cai, Director Jiang and others came to me to complain, saying that you are telling lies in front of foreign businessmen and sabotaging their business. Is there such a thing as an order of tens of millions of dollars?"

"Leader, there is absolutely no such thing!" Li Weidong immediately denied.

"Li Weidong, if you are a man, you dare to do it, just admit it!" Cai Qianjin said from the side.

"Why should I admit something I haven't done?" Li Weidong replied.

"Hehe, Li Weidong, your awareness is that so many of us are wronging you!" Cai Qianjin said.

Cai Qianjin didn't say "I wronged you", but brought everyone in, just to increase his credibility. The so-called three become tigers, if everyone says you are a bad person, then even if you are a good person, you have become a bad person.

Li Weidong was still unhurried, and he said: "Director Cai, Director Jiang, and everyone, I want to ask, how did I gossip at that time? Have you heard what I said at that time?"

"You told that foreign businessman that you can't buy our products!" Cai Qianjin said.

"Director Cai, I never told foreign businessmen that they could not buy your products. Not only did I not say that, but I also let foreign businessmen buy your products with confidence and boldness."

Li Weidong smiled slightly, and then said: "And do you think foreign businessmen are too simplistic, what products foreign businessmen want to buy, can I, Li Weidong, decide with one word? I say one word, foreign businessmen can decide to buy or not to sell, You really think I'm a fairy!"

"You are arguing. If you didn't make a fuss, how could the foreign businessman cancel the order." Cai Qianjin insisted that it was Li Weidong's responsibility.

Li Weidong smiled gloomily: "Why don't foreign businessmen buy your products, do you have no idea in your own mind? Do you want me to clarify?"

"Just pick it up! You just want to say, you have the patent for the air fryer, don't we? You just see that we also export the air fryer, are you jealous? That's why you obstructed it." Cai Qianjin said .

Jiang Aiguo, who was next to him, also helped: "Li Weidong, even if you have a patent for an air fryer, you have gone too far. We are earning foreign exchange for the country's exports. You can't just use a patent to destroy it, right? This kind of behavior has seriously affected the country's export and foreign exchange earning work."

Li Weidong pouted: "Director Jiang, you can't say that. You sell air fryers to earn foreign exchange for the country's exports, and I sell air fryers to earn foreign exchange for the country's exports? Foreigners who want to buy air fryers can buy from me. Buy it, and the country won’t lose a penny of foreign exchange.”

"Okay, don't argue!" Liu Dawei stopped the quarrel, and he continued: "Let's not talk about the patent matter. Director Li, how did you tell the foreign businessman at that time, I hope you can explain in detail. Clearly, if there is really a misunderstanding here, clarifying the matter will be more conducive to the solution of the matter.

Li Weidong nodded and said, "It's like this, foreign businessmen came to our exhibition area to inquire, and then one exhibitor quoted a price of 280 US dollars, and then several other exhibitors bargained with each other and lowered the price to 150 US dollars. !"

Hearing this, Liu Dawei's face suddenly turned black. This kind of price war, in which no one can take advantage of the price, is the last thing the ministries want to see. This is not to make a lot of foreign exchange. Are there foreigners?

However, the ministries and commissions are not good at directly intervening in the operation of the enterprise. If your enterprise is willing to sell at a loss, what can the ministries and commissions do? Encountered such a thing, he can only knock out his teeth and swallow in his stomach, admitting that he is unlucky.

Cai Qianjin also felt a little overwhelmed on his face, he said, "Li Weidong, talk about your own affairs, what are we doing!"

"Don't worry, I'll talk about me soon!" Li Weidong continued: "Later, foreign businessmen took a fancy to my products and asked me about the price. My lowest price was $200. Foreign businessmen thought it was very expensive, and he was very curious. Why is my air fryer more than fifty dollars more expensive than other people's air fryers!

Since foreign businessmen have questions, of course I have to answer them, so I tell foreign businessmen that other air fryers are not licensed, so they are cheap.

I also said at the time that the patent law only punishes those who produce and sell infringing products. It doesn't matter if they buy them, so he can buy with confidence!

Then the foreign businessman asked to check the patent authorization documents. Of course, Director Cai and the others could not come up with it. This foreign businessman is also a law-abiding person. He learned that other people's air fryers were infringing products, so they did not buy it!

This foreign businessman probably thinks that he purchases products without patent authorization, and then takes them back to the United States to sell them, which is also an infringement and will be subject to lawsuits. After all, the laws in the United States are different from ours here. They really protect intellectual products, not just talk. "

Liu Dawei nodded and asked Cai Qianjin again, "Xiao Cai, is this the case?"

"We borrowed the patent certificate from Li Weidong at the time, but he didn't lend it to us! If he was willing to lend us the patent certificate, then the foreign businessmen would not leave, and the order was signed!" Cai Qianjin insisted said.

Li Weidong didn't answer, he just pouted, meaning look at how rascal these people are!

Liu Dawei also felt that Cai Qianjin's words were unreasonable, he coughed dryly, and said, "Director Cai, since it is someone else's thing, then it is naturally up to the owner to decide whether to borrow it or not. The owner is willing to lend it to you. It's love, it's duty not to borrow you. If people don't lend you, you can't take it by chance!"

However, Liu Dawei looked at Li Weidong again and said, "Director Li, there is something wrong with what you are doing. They are all in brother provinces. You can't look up and see you all day long. You lend the patent certificate to Director Cai and they use it again and again. What's the harm? Director Cai and the others won't pay it back. Among comrades, unity is the most important thing!"

Both sides played fifty big boards each, which was in line with the style of Taijiquan peacekeepers.

Li Weidong smiled slightly, and then said: "Leader, let's not say whether this patent certificate can be borrowed or not. The patent authorization can only be counted by signing a contract in black and white. I lent the patent certificate to them, and they did not obtain the patent authorization."

"There is no authorization without authorization. As long as there is a patent certificate, I can sign the contract. I will take the order from the foreign business first!" Jiang Aiguo said from the side.

"I understand, Director Jiang's consciousness first lied to the foreign businessman, signed the contract, and got the money. As for the foreign businessman who encounters a patent lawsuit in the future, it is the foreign businessman who is unlucky, and it is none of your business! This abacus is really good!" Li Weidong dug a big hole for Jiang Aiguo.

Liu Dawei coughed again: "In business, we should pay attention to integrity. It took our country decades to forge the golden signboard of the Canton Fair. This kind of cheating is absolutely not allowed."

Cai Qianjin snorted coldly: "Li Weidong, it's boring to say that, the patent of the air fryer is in your hands, whether you want to file a lawsuit or not, it's up to you, don't go to a lawsuit with a foreign businessman then, The matter is not resolved! In the final analysis, you are deliberately sabotaging!"

Liu Dawei also said from the side; "Director Li, I think what Director Cai said has some truth. As long as you don't pursue the matter of patent infringement, then there will be no burden for foreign businessmen. Isn't this a happy thing!"

"Everyone is happy, I think you are happy!" Li Weidong smiled coldly, he had already seen that Liu Dawei was obviously biased towards Cai Qianjin's side.

For Liu Dawei, to solve the problem, either Li Weidong will be soft, or Cai Qianjin's group will be soft.

And it is easier to let Li Weidong be soft on one person than to let Cai Qianjin's group be soft. Of course he's on the easy and difficult side.

"This Liu Dawei, if you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust! Since you can't uphold justice, don't blame me for pulling you into the water too."

Seeing Li Weidong pretending to be surprised, he said, "Leader, I did everything according to your instructions!"

"My instructions? When did I instruct you to sue foreigners!" Liu Dawei was inexplicably said by Li Weidong.

"It was just yesterday! Yesterday, Director Ma and I came to you to report the issue of the air fryer patent. The instructions you gave said that we should consult with other exhibitors first. If the negotiation fails, we will solve it through legal means. At that time, Director Ma also I heard it. It's only been one night, you can't forget it!"

Li Weidong gave Ma Dexing a wink.

Ma Dexing said immediately; "Leader, you said so yesterday."

Without waiting for Liu Dawei's defense, Li Weidong continued; "So after I left you yesterday, I immediately went to Director Cai and Director Jiang for consultation. Director Cai and Director Jiang said that there is nothing to negotiate, Director Cai, Director Jiang, I Are you right?"

Cai Qianjin and Jiang Aiguo snorted coldly at the same time, acquiescing to Li Weidong's statement.

Li Weidong continued: "Since the negotiation fails, then I have to follow the leadership's instructions and go through legal procedures, so for those who infringe on my intellectual property rights, of course I have to sue them!"

"Then you can't sue foreign businessmen, can you?" Liu Dawei said.

"Leader, don't worry, I'm not only suing foreign businessmen, I'm also suing Chinese people. I'm already looking for a lawyer. As far as the Canton Fair, companies that produce and sell air fryers can't escape, I'll sue them all! Yours I will definitely implement the instructions." Li Weidong said deliberately and arrogantly.

The last sentence "implementation" directly pulled Liu Dawei into the water.

Cai Qianjin, Jiang Aiguo and others involuntarily looked at Liu Dawei, full of doubts in their hearts.

"It turns out that this is Liu Dawei's instruction!"

"It seems that Liu Dawei has long been on the side with Li Weidong."

"I can see that Liu Dawei is singing double reeds with Li Weidong for a long time!"

Liu Dawei felt the distrust in the eyes of everyone, and he hurriedly defended: "I just gave you a suggestion at the time!"

"Leader, look at what you said, isn't your suggestion just an instruction!" Li Weidong said with a smile.

"I..." Liu Dawei was at a loss for words.

The key is that Li Weidong is right! A leader's suggestion is not an instruction!

For example, the leader said when inspecting the work, I suggest you do what to do next, the subtext is, you have to do as I say!

No idiot will think that the "suggestions" the leaders say are really just suggestions.
