Long Yaohua never expected that Liu Yijiu had always adopted a sheep-raising strategy in this matter. Coaster's United Trading Company was just an unknown small trading company in the United States before. In recent years, it has become more famous in the United States.

Liu Yijiu never made any mistakes in scheming people.

Once you really follow what Liu Yijiu said, and use the West to force China into their rules of the game, this matter must be handled with caution.

Even Chinese companies do not occupy too much reason. Without sufficient evidence, the US government will have to judge China to win. Otherwise, this matter is really not easy to resolve. Domestic Chinese companies know that these intellectual property construction are just restricting Chinese companies. Who will follow these rules of the game?

Long Yaohua didn't stay in the Ninth Courtyard for a long time, and he didn't look at the progress of Yun 20. Because he had too many things, he quickly changed his itinerary and went back.

After Long Yaohua left, Liu Yijiu convened a meeting of senior managers of Hongxing Electrical Factory to discuss this matter.

Hongxing Electric Appliance Factory is a star enterprise in China's foreign export trade. Its annual trade volume has been growing, and it has now exceeded US$300 million. The products have developed from the beginning of electric fans to various electrical products now, and even TVs, refrigerators, washing machines and other businesses jointly invested with Changhong. Of course, the main thing is the production of plastic products on various electrical appliances, TVs, refrigerators and other businesses, and the development is not very prominent.

The key issue is still waiting for the transformation of relevant military technology in the Ninth Academy to civilian use.

"The next step is to increase the research investment in TV sets, especially color TVs with larger display screens, and more advanced washing machines and refrigerators. What we need is to occupy the mid-to-high-end market, rather than the low-end market. The sales volume in the low-end market is indeed good, but everyone knows the profits..." Liu Yijiu arranged the work tasks of the Hongxing Electrical Factory in the next stage.

Starting from electric fans, the brand Hongxing began to become well-known internationally. It is the only brand in China that can occupy a certain share in the world market.

China has begun to have some awareness of brand awareness.

Hongxing Electrical Appliance Factory has always relied on some of the appearance designs in Liu Yijiu's memory to lead the world trend.

With the advancement of technology and the increasing use of plastic products in the market, the sales of this company are also increasing, but this growth rate cannot satisfy Director Liu.

"Director Liu, there is still a gap in our technology in terms of air conditioning and refrigerators compared with international standards, especially the issue of small compressors. Domestic refrigerators basically introduce compressors from abroad, and their appearance designs imitate our patented technologies..."

As the director of Hongxing Electrical Appliance Factory, Ren Xu is already in his forties. He has been studying continuously over the years, which has made him know more and more about the entire international market.

"Especially the infringement of us in the foreign market, which has seriously affected our sales. There are also many products in China that imitate our electrical products, but their technology is unqualified and there is a huge gap compared to us. Hong Kong has a good technical foundation and has foreign technical support..."

The infringement of various products of Hongxing Electric Appliances is very serious.

Since United Trading Company had been looking for OEM factories in Hong Kong to imitate it, it has developed very largely there.

"Now the factories in Hong Kong are preparing to build factories in the mainland. I have contacted the investment promotion office in the SAR, and they are also helpless about this matter. Especially these are foreign investment..." Ou Yang, the factory manager of the SAR, also has a lot of complaints about this matter. "Once their factory is successfully built here, it will seriously affect our market sales. For many people, foreign-funded brands and technologies are better than domestic..."

"Have the background investigation of that factory clear? Who is the controlling shareholder?" Liu Yijiu asked with a frown.

Hong Kong capital now has a lot of preferential treatment in China. After all, the country still lacks foreign exchange. In addition, after the old man negotiated with Queen Elizabeth, Hong Kong will return it to China on July 1, 1997. Under such a background, the preferential treatment Hong Kong capital in the mainland is naturally conceivable.

"This large electrical appliance factory is an offshore company registered in the British Virgin Islands. According to our investigation, United Trading Company indirectly holds shares, but there is no direct evidence, and the offshore company affairs are not easy to handle internationally." Ren Xu knew very well about offshore companies.

Offshore companies are shell companies and bag companies established internationally to avoid taxes, so registration is very easy.

Used to invest in some entities, ultimately making the shares of some companies less clear.

"The sales agents of the product they produce are United Trading Company, right? Is Coaster's competition with Sihua Group now very fierce?" Liu Yijiu asked suddenly, "I asked you to collect various information about United Trading Company's infringement of our patents. How did it go?"

"There are already a lot of information collected. All the electrical products sold by United Trading Company are manufactured by Hong Kong processing plants, and then they carry out OEM processing, but most of the appearances are imitated by our designs..."

"That's enough. Look for an international law firm in Hong Kong and file a lawsuit with the state court where the United Trading Company is headquartered! We have applied for patents in the United States and Europe, so we have sued them for this matter!" Liu Yijiu measured it and then said.

His words immediately made everyone silent.

Going a patent lawsuit in the United States?

There was no precedent for this matter before.

Moreover, there is no claim to patents in China, and socialist countries have not carried out intellectual property construction.

"What's wrong? Is the task I assigned is difficult to complete?" Liu Yijiu asked everyone coldly, "It's been ten years, such a good opportunity. Besides expanding the number of workers and the production capacity of Hongxing Electrical Factory several times, what else is there now? It's very difficult to do such a thing?"

"Director Liu, this task is not complicated. However, if we do this, we will not be able to achieve results for a long time, and it will also consume a lot of funds and time..." Ren Xu said with some embarrassment, "Besides, we have a lot of imitation of foreign products in our country..."

"Have we imitated foreign products?" Liu Yijiu was very dissatisfied with Ren Xu's attitude.

As a general manager of a multinational company, he is not firm in his attitude towards such matters.

"No……"

"Well, that's what's going on in China? That's the matter of the country. Foreign governments and our governments should work together to solve it. In the European and American markets, we are following their game rules. If they don't protect our interests, then do we still need to abide by their game rules? What do we apply for patents?" Liu Yijiu raised his eyebrows and said to Ren Xu, "As long as we occupy the reasons, we must make them compensate. Although we have no reason for United Trading Company to hold the Hong Kong production factory, it is an indisputable fact that the many products they sell infringe on us. In addition, Sihua International will also sue United Trading Company with us!"

Liu Yijiu did not tell Ren Xu and others that the Western countries led by the United States would let the entire China play market games according to their rules of the game. Now he has begun to prepare to let the Chinese government lead and increase efforts to start the construction of intellectual property rights.

This is a very good opportunity.

As he said to Long Yaohua.

Those words can be said to Long Yaohua, but they must not be said to the senior managers of Hongxing Electrical Factory.

There will be many lawsuits in the international community in the future. If they don’t learn a lesson at the beginning and don’t know where to start, they will suffer a big loss in the end. This is somewhat contrary to Liu Yijiu’s original intention of building an international rights protection team to which the Ninth Academy belongs.

"Director Liu, why don't we communicate with the Ministry of Commerce first?" Ren Xu is now a celebrity in front of the Ministry of Commerce.

In this year, everything is dominated by benefits.

An era where economic construction is in charge.

"I will go to talk to their people in person at the Ministry of Commerce." Liu Yijiu came forward and Ren Xu came forward.

No matter what Ren Xu said, no matter how good his relationship with the Ministry of Commerce is, he may be perfunctory. After all, most people are better off than having more things.

This time, it is a lawsuit with a US company, which is also an unprecedented first for the Ministry of Commerce.

A lawsuit is not an ordinary lawsuit, but a patent infringement lawsuit.

"You go and prepare and prepare the legal counsel of Hongxing Electrical Factory. As for the international lawyer team, you must find well-known ones who can be dug up and serve us for a long time. This is even better. There will be no less such things in the future..." After Liu Yijiu finished speaking, regardless of whether Ren Xu and others had anything to say, he stood up and left, leaving behind everyone with a look of distress.

After the meeting, he went directly to Taipingsi Airport and took Yunshi directly to the capital to argue with the people from the Ministry of Commerce.

The Ministry of Commerce and the Ninth Academy have a lot of business dealings, especially the many private product units under the Ninth Academy, many of which are star enterprises that export foreign exchange earnings.

However, the people dealing with the Ministry of Commerce directly deal with the management of the export unit of Jiuyuan in Chengdu.

It is said that there is such a unit. Since the construction of the headquarters of the Ninth Hospital in Rongcheng has always been only arbitrary, many people directly arrest people after encountering problems.

Liu Yijiu did not devote his energy to the construction of the headquarters announced by the 9th Institute of Rongcheng. In addition, after Chen Shuhao and others were dealt with, the headquarters of the 9th Institute was not effectively rectified. Therefore, he wanted to contact the Ministry of Commerce himself, and did not contact people from Rongcheng, but went to the Ministry of Commerce himself.

"Director Liu, what wind has blown you?" Wang Xun, who has been promoted to deputy minister, personally received Liu Yijiu. He knew more than anyone else about the energy behind this person who is much younger than him. Without big things, Liu Yijiu would not usually come here. "Does there any product in the Ninth Court to be exported to require an export license? For such a thing, you can just let the people below do it. Your subordinate units give our Minister of Commerce face. In the past, our Ministry of Commerce existed for import, and now we can finally have a lot of industrial products and technology exports..."

Liu Yijiu was a little uncomfortable with Wang Xun's enthusiasm.

In particular, Wang Xun is also the deputy minister in charge of foreign trade.

The relationship with Wang Xun is not very familiar, and the Ministry of Commerce is not held by the Ninth Academy. Their main job is to conduct business negotiations and other work at the national level. How could it be that it is just because of the export of the Ninth Academy?

"Minister Wang, what you said, can't I come to the Ministry of Commerce?" Everyone carried the flower sedan chairs, and they were enthusiastic, so naturally Liu Yijiu could not be cold, right?

What's more, I'm going to cause trouble for the Ministry of Commerce.

He smiled and said, "I'm not here to ask for approval or export license. The real thing we want to export, your Ministry of Commerce's license is useless..."

"Then who is naturally!" Wang Xuan smiled a little embarrassedly.

Liu Yijiu will never come to him for some export licenses for the people's products.

The largest export business of the Ninth Academy is not an ordinary product, but military equipment. The Ministry of Commerce really can't control that thing.

"Minister Wang, the Ministry of Commerce is full of professional elites who have a very clear understanding of international trade and laws of various countries. I am here to borrow someone from you this time..." After the greetings, Liu Yijiu got directly into the topic. He said that he was borrowing someone from the Ministry of Commerce. For such a big thing, the Ministry of Commerce's foreign trade department could not ignore it.

"Borrow someone?" Wang Xun frowned immediately. "We don't have any staff needed by the Ninth Hospital!"

Who doesn’t know about the Ninth Court poaching?

Those business backbones of the Ministry of Commerce can be willing to go to the Ninth Hospital?

Even if you are willing, can the Ministry of Commerce let people go?

The scale of international trade is getting bigger and bigger, and the Ministry of Commerce has few professionals in all aspects, especially experienced personnel.

Many people have gone abroad to study after the reform and opening up, but not many have returned.

"The Ministry of Commerce naturally has the people I want. If not, I wouldn't have it, right?" Liu Yijiu continued to smile, and Wang Xun was a little embarrassed. "We need experts who have research on international patent law!"

"What do you want legal personnel in international patent law to do?" Wang Xun frowned even more.

"Just sue. Apart from suing, our own legal counsel are enough." Liu Yijiu's words shocked Wang Xun, "We are going to sue a multinational company in the United States that infringed our patent rights..."
Chapter completed!
