"What did you say? There is a third VCD brand on the market?" Feng Yu frowned. Could it be that someone has developed a better technology to replace VCD technology
It should be impossible. The video compression technology alone cannot be circumvented by others and must be imitated. This new VCD brand must be infringing! The patented technologies are all here with Feng Yu!
But the fact that they were able to crack the technology showed that the level of the technicians was pretty good. Feng Yu felt that he could poach this technician by the way.
Driving to the mall, Feng Yu walked to the VCD counter and saw the third brand besides Fengyu and Aihua, Fenghua!
The name of this damn thing is just a bit vague, so it’s obvious that it’s a copycat!
"Hello, can I have a look at that Fenghua VCD?" Feng Yu asked, pointing to a VCD.
The salesperson looked at Feng Yu. He was very young, but she saw the watch on Feng Yu's wrist at a glance. Moreover, Feng Yu also held a bulging handbag in his hand. There might be a BP machine in it. He should be the big boss. .
"Okay, this is this year's latest VCD, advertised by foreign celebrities, and the price is very cheap. One unit only costs 2,900, which is several hundred cheaper than Fengyu and Aihua brands!"
The latest model? Advertisements made by foreign celebrities
Feng Yu took a look at the tape on the VCD, and when I checked, it actually had Madonna’s face printed on it! Well, this is indeed a very popular international star, but this VCD looks like a domestic knockoff. Can it afford Madonna? I'm afraid this so-called endorsement by a big star is also fake.
It's just that Madonna has never been to China, so she won't notice that she is "endorsed", let alone seek compensation for financial losses! This trick has been used in many fake and inferior foot hair products in previous lives.
"Can you try it?"
"Of course." The salesperson skillfully wired the VCD, then took out a CD from this year's Spring Festival Gala and inserted it into the machine.
Feng Yu also obtained the VCD copyright for the Spring Festival Gala from CCTV and bought it out for one million. But this was given as a random gift to Fengyu VCD and Aihua VCD, and now the salesperson actually brought it to test the Fenghua VCD!
The picture quality is very clear, there is no lag or mosaic, and the sound is also very good. Feng Yu was surprised. This copycat product was so good!
Feng Yu took out a hundred yuan and handed it to the salesperson without leaving any trace: "Actually, I don't buy VCDs. Can you tell me the contact information of this manufacturer?"
Feng Yu looked at it and saw that there was no contact information printed on the box at all, and there probably wasn't even a production approval document!
The salesperson looked around, took out a business card from under the counter, and secretly handed it to Feng Yu: "Don't let the manager see it."
"By the way, how long have you been selling this Fenghua VCD?"
"It starts selling after the Chinese New Year. The price is cheaper. It's better than Fengyu Brand and Aihua Brand. It's not available in other shopping malls!"
Feng Yu frowned, it had been selling for so long, and now Wu Zhi just knew, is there something wrong with the dealer? How could they not know about this situation when they were selling goods
…
"Hello, is this Mr. Ou?" Feng Yu called the number on the business card, which said Ou Debao, general manager of Fenghua VCD Company.
"I am, who are you?"
"I'm from Dahua Shopping Mall. I heard from a friend that you have cheap VCDs here? I want to buy some. Cash, definitely cash! Okay, then I'll go find you."
After hanging up the phone, Feng Yu called Mr. Lu and asked him to borrow two people. He couldn't let Ou Debao run away for a while!
Feng Yu saw the person sitting in the seat by the window from a distance, and felt that he was not the same kind of profiteer he thought. He has messy hair, wears glasses, and is a bit thin. Why does he look like a technician
"Is this Ou Debao from Fenghua Company?"
"I am, are you Mr. Feng?" Ou Debao stood up and stretched out his hand towards Feng Yu.
Feng Yu held Ou Debao's hand and said with a smile: "I am from Aihua Company, how dare you show up!"
Seeing Feng Yu giving the signal, two strong men standing at the door rushed in and held Ou Debao down.
The owner of the hotel ran over and said, "Don't fight, I'm calling the police!"
A strong man took out his work permit from his pocket and said, "We are the police and we are arresting a suspect. Do you want to stop us?"
The restaurant owner took two steps back and said, "No, no, do you need help? I can go to the kitchen and call a few people out."
"What are you doing? What law have I broken?" Ou Debao was stunned. After being held down, he began to struggle and yell at the same time.
"Shut up, don't you know what you're doing?"
Ou Debao was pressed into Feng Yu's car by two people, and Feng Yu drove to a police station, which was also the interrogation room borrowed by the two policemen.
"What are you doing?" Ou Debao was frightened and looked like he was about to cry.
"Answer whatever I ask you. You are not allowed to speak unless I ask you questions!"
Feng Yu walked up to Ou Debao, frowned and asked, "Are you really Ou Debao? Ou Debao, general manager of Fenghua VCD Company?"
"Yes what's the matter?"
"Did you develop this Fenghua VCD? Or did you purchase it from somewhere else?"
"Someone else sold it to me." Ou Debao's eyes were a little dodgey.
"Lying will get you beaten, right?" a policeman threatened.
"I didn't develop it myself, it was developed by several of us together!"
"Research and development? It means taking apart other people's VCDs and then cracking the technology, right? Do you know that what you are doing is called counterfeiting and it is illegal!"
"Is it illegal? How is it illegal? We have developed our own technology and we have our own brand. Why do we say we are fake and shoddy products? Have you ever used our VCD? Ours has clearer images than those of Fengyu brand and Aihua brand. , and our sound quality is also better, why are we pretending to be them?" Ou Debao cried out loudly.
Feng Yu suddenly asked: "Can your product eliminate mosaics?"
Damn it, they are not studying super VCD, right? Fengyu Electronics has not yet successfully researched this technology, but let these people successfully research it
"cannot."
Feng Yu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the people at Fengyu Electronics were not skilled enough and that their money was wasted. It turned out to be a false alarm.
"Even if you have made some improvements, are you making improvements on Fengyu brand or Aihua brand VCD? Do you know that VCD is also a brand, my brand? If you use the name VCD, it is an infringement. !”
Nowadays, people's awareness of copyright is so poor. In the 1990s, China was even included in the United States' waiting list and implemented a technology blockade because it had no patent protection.
Feng Yu was also accused of monopolizing humidifiers and bladeless fans, only to find out that this was tacitly approved by the government there, in order to suppress Chinese companies and increase their bargaining chips with the Chinese government.
But in the past two years, China's awareness of patent protection has become higher and higher. In September last year, it even amended the loopholes in the "Patent Law". This news was even broadcast on the News Network. Doesn't this person know
"I really don't know. We developed the technology ourselves."
Feng Yu shook his head, there was no way to reason with this law-illiterate.
"When the industrial and commercial authorities and the police close down your company, you will know that you have broken the law. It is better to read the Patent Law when you have time. I am not trying to scare you. If I sue you, I will bankrupt you!"
Well, Feng Yu was just scaring him. China's current patent law does not have such a high standard of compensation.
"Ah? Why doesn't the VCD we made ourselves work?" Ou Debao was still mumbling to himself.
"How many VCDs have you produced in total?"
"We assemble more than a hundred of them ourselves and sell them in a few shopping malls. I really don't know if this is illegal. I can't do it without arresting me. I won't sell it in the future!"
Only more than a hundred units? Feng Yu nodded. No wonder the dealer didn't notice it. It seemed that the mall deliberately concealed it. Selling this Fenghua brand VCD might be more profitable.
Let's look at it. If these people are technically competent and are recruited to work at Fengyu Electronics, they can be considered to be fully utilized. (To be continued.
