This meeting started with Feiyan, and Jinke responded first. After hesitating for a few days, Lida finally followed the pace, and finally set the meeting place at the Shenzhen Jinke headquarters. It is not the kind of formal negotiation with the public relations department and the legal department. There are only corporate legal persons and a few senior executives. Sole proprietorships are the mainstream. King to King" talk.
Feiyan's participation was naturally Meng Lisheng and Yan Qiaosen. They didn't speak like a knife, and it was inconvenient for a child of Chen Yuanming's age to show up in formal occasions. The two Feiyan family members were naturally bound to embark on the journey. Coincidentally, the legal persons of these two companies are the same as Meng and Yan, both of them are seniors from technology to management, so the four executives of the three companies sat down to some academic seminars.
The founder of Jinke Lin is always the older one among the four, with a strong background and a strong backstage. As a real second generation of red, he has experienced the birth and development of China, and is also the first batch to respond to the clarion call of reform and opening up, abandoning school to pursue business professional. In terms of qualifications and identity, he was able to stabilize everyone in the field, so when everyone sat down, he was the first to start the conversation.
"This time, Xiao Wu and I were caught off guard by you guys." Although there was a hint of a smile, the expression on Mr. Lin's face was still very serious, especially those extremely sharp eyes that made him look like a soldier. rather than scholars or businessmen.
"What's the point?" Meng Lisheng just shook his head helplessly, "We didn't expect the two companies to be so involved in the Vd industry, but Feiyan was driven to a dead end and could only mobilize the masses to fight this debate. In fact, as a Chinese CD-ROM From the industry, I still respect Jinke's promotion and efforts in the CD industry. Today, a large part of the genuine discs on the market are filled and produced by Jinke. It can also be said that the Vd industry exhibition is also inseparable from Jinke's help. ."
"Help?" The smile on Mr. Lin's face gradually disappeared, "I think it's holding you back."
This is really hard to answer, Meng Lisheng smiled and didn't answer.
However, Mr. Lin seemed to understand Meng Lisheng's embarrassment, and said lightly, "This time Feiyan's publicity is ingenious. Others can't say it. I'm quite surprised. I didn't expect to be hit back like this. In the early 1990s, there were thousands of people and incidents that I came into contact with, but no one ever told me about piracy and infringement like this, do you know why?"
Yan Qiaosen wanted to say something, but was held down by Meng Lisheng, with a hint of uneasiness that could not be concealed. He quietly looked straight into the other's sharp eyes and replied calmly, "I was also born in a scientific research institute. I don't really know. It's because of... technology blockades, right?"
President Lin was so straight that his back did not relax, but his expression became slightly loose. "Sure enough, as long as it comes out of a scientific research institute, you know what's going on here." His sharp eyes swept over the few people in the seat. "You are still young and have not experienced those difficult times. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, China's industry was in ruins, and it was a complete wasteland. Not to mention high-precision machine tools and motives, even basic daily necessities such as watches and radios were difficult to independently produce. Western The state has imposed closures and embargoes on us, especially in terms of industry and military, and without the support of the Soviet Union, we may not be able to establish even basic industries."
"But is the support of other countries so cheap?" President Lin's voice was not loud, but the content in his words made people worry, "Tell you the real price, a pound of information is equivalent to a pound of gold, only the Soviet Union is willing to sell it, and it is still more than three generations behind the world. Some products are unaffordable, and others are unwilling to sell them. We can only buy back the real products at a high price and disassemble them a little bit for research. How many parts should be divided into a 2-meter-long missile? This is not enough, it must be imitated and produced , because we can't afford enough daily accessories."
"In order to study and understand the technologies that are almost from heaven to us, the entire Chinese researchers spent incalculable energy, but just saw the dawn, the Soviet experts withdrew in the 1960s, leaving a mess, followed by famine and civil strife, Not to mention scientific research, even normal production and life are unsustainable. When everything is over and the country reopens, the level of science and technology in China and the world has already fallen behind for several generations."
"No one will wait for you in place. In fact, those Western countries will not stop, but will intensify their efforts to curb technology exports and block China's progress. The only way for all enterprises and research institutes to acquire fresh technology is to Counterfeiting is to take apart other people's products and use real objects to learn and improve. Therefore, in the minds of our generation of scientific researchers, there will be no piracy awareness, and there will not be even the slightest sense of infringement. If you don't do this, what else can you do? Let China continue Are you going to be poor and useless?"
Looking at the speechless Yan Qiao Sen, Mr. Lin showed a not-so-good-looking smile, "Just like Feiyan, you have a high starting point, a Sino-US joint venture with sufficient funds, you can come to research and create, but for us, how many A few months ago, I didn't even know what the peg format was, how can I overcome this technical barrier and bring imprisonment?"
The topic was too heavy, the venue was silent for a while, and Mr. Lida sighed softly, "Lin Lao's current situation is far better than us, Lida started as a school-run factory, although business is good, However, the ownership of it is not entirely in my hands, and it has to be handed over to the heads above. Zhangzhou has a unique geographical location and is a natural distribution center for the introduction of pirated copies. After the Vd market became popular, some people immediately put into production optical disc production lines, but Feiyan disc players could not Recognizing these Vd discs, some people opened up channels through upper-level relationships, provided us with research funds, and produced suitable players. As a general manager, how to use these funds to promote exhibitions is what I should do, others are not... "
Even if this direction of use is not correct, even if the use of this product is questionable, he has to do it. Yan Qiaosen understood these words, his lips trembled and he couldn't speak. What is reality? this is the truth! In today's era, if you want to use the American standard to measure Chinese companies, not only can you not do it, but maybe no one wants to do it, and no one dares to do it. Entrepreneurs across China face not only those ideological or ethical issues, but also real pressure and resistance, which cannot be overcome.
How to fight this lawsuit? Do you still want to fight? For a moment, Yan Qiaosen even had such doubts. He is an authentic second-generation Chinese. Although he can speak Chinese, he also has a love for the motherland from his parents, but he does not fully understand what is going on in this land. It is also impossible to accurately judge, those things that should be correct as the truth, can’t be realized here
Meng Lisheng was also silent for a long time, but finally opened his mouth. "Actually, I didn't even think about applying for a patent at first. This kind of thing is not in line with the thinking mode of our generation, including international promotion, including those vigorous advertisements, it is not what I thought of. But a young man told me that it should be This is done, and it is very straightforward to use the facts to give the benefits of doing so. Now that we Feiyan have rushed out of China and went to the world, even Sony and Philips in the Vd alliance can hardly cut out the flesh from us. Similarly, this Patent rights mean that big-name companies such as Toshiba, Pioneer and other big-name companies cannot lightly touch our interests, and it means that we have enough capital to stand in front of giants like Wen Group, not to be servile and pleading, or to become partners in a dignified manner. These superficial or behind-the-scenes interests are enough. Feiyan eats fat intestines full of belly."
"But when we are rich, can we ignore others?" Meng Lisheng shook his head and pushed a document in his hand to the other two, "This is a draft being negotiated by several major film companies in China recently, regarding all genuine Chinese films. The video and disc industry uniformly implements the ss key agreement. If there is no accident, it will be made public in the near future. This is the first industry alliance agreement in China, and it is also the first time that they stand on the same front. Such a front, Japan Yes, the United States has it, every country in the world has it, why didn't China have it before?"
Looking at the two seniors in front of him, the smile on Meng Lisheng's face was so bitter. "Because China is still undergoing a civil war, a mode of infighting that has lasted for thousands of years. People are too accustomed to focusing on their compatriots. China is too big and has too many people. As long as you can defend this country, you can gain It is difficult to measure wealth. This kind of family-world thinking stifles our eyes and prevents us from seeing the true face of the world. Today, the earth is not what it has been like for thousands of years. Multinational corporations and giant financial groups are the mainstream of this world. The country is the interest group, and the comprehensive national strength is used as the standard to counteract the brutal competition. If no one dares to turn their eyes to the world, then we will always have to fight in this mud pit, and fight for the vicious competition for the meager profit. ."
"Therefore, even though I fully understand the difficulties Chinese companies are facing at the moment and understand the two difficulties, this lawsuit is still going to be fought and won." Meng Lisheng took a deep breath, "This lawsuit is not just for Feiyan's company. , but also for the alliance behind the Chinese film and television industry, in order to clear the obstacles and threats to our entry into the European and American markets, for these goals, we have to fight everything, just for one victory."
The words are decisive, but there is also a trace of unspeakable pride. At this time, Yan Qiaosen also nodded lightly, looking directly at President Lin with a frown. "Just now, Mr. Lin, you said that the early generation of scientific researchers in China suffered hardships. This is something that our generation has not experienced. I have no personal experience of Chinese origin, but the world always develops, and following the old rules does not conform to the cruel operation of the world. If you are greedy for temporary cheapness, it will destroy those companies that dare to think and dare to create and have the ability to create.”
"In today's society, studying abroad is no longer a rarity. There are also a large number of Chinese people in the Silicon Valley. We are gradually getting rid of the dilemma of being poor and white. All kinds of talents are hatching and being born, just like VD machine research, just like me We are currently carrying out the DVD project. Maybe we are still one or two steps behind the world, but our efforts will always catch up with it. However, plagiarism and plagiarism will never be the right way. What we should do is believe in our own creativity, not suppress it and destroy it.”
"That's right." Meng Lisheng nodded and smiled at President Wu again, "And the situation is now, I don't think it's hard for anyone to force President Wu to do piracy, right? One day we will get rid of the layers of shackles on our bodies and be honest. Bright is a company of its own conscience. Our lawsuit is not to crush the two companies, nor to dominate the Chinese market. We have never thought of occupying such a large piece of cake, and even we hope that there will be strong enough alliances to join this feast. Consortiums like those in Japan use fair and legitimate means to share this area, develop together, and create a win-win situation.”
Opening his briefcase, Meng Lisheng took out two thick materials. "This is not an out-of-court settlement, but its content is far more important than an out-of-court settlement. Feiyan and I want to use this as a blueprint for future Chinese film and television industry exhibitions to jointly maintain this market and make it develop in a benign direction. Maybe In the course of this exhibition, many companies will face extinction and will be crushed and crushed, but those who stay behind will have stronger strength and enough strength to stand on the international stage. This kind of change will also bring us a better China. A rational society where bad money no longer drives good.”
As he said that, he smiled slightly, "Feiyan, someone once said that what we want to do is both a daughter and a horse, and I agree. If possible, I sincerely hope that this event will become one of the turning points in China, but I don't know. Are you two willing to join hands with us to jointly establish this uniquely meaningful benchmark?"
The two documents were placed right in front of the two of them, with a line of clear and regular text on them.
