Chapter 455 Plagiarism
Ruan Qi was stunned when he heard this.
"What does the Thor fighter I designed have to do with him? What's going on?"
Simon took a glass of champagne from the waiter, shook it and took a sip, then asked, "Do you remember BC manufacturing?"
When she heard the word "BC made", Ruan Qi's peach blossom eyes immediately widened.
"Of course I remember! BC Manufacturing is a piece of shit that copied my work!"
BC Manufacturing is a long-established company that is one of the best in the field of military equipment. Before the rise of Solomon, it had always been the leader in the industry, even having a monopoly.
However, after the emergence of Solomon, BC's dominance was taken away.
With the blueprints of genius designer Qi Sha and the iron-blooded tactics of Simon Austin, Solomon carved out a path in the chaotic world of arms. Qi Sha's designs were breathtakingly brilliant, and Simon Austin's business acumen was unmatched. Together, they led Solomon to knock BC Manufacturing off the cusp of the pyramid.
Since then, BC Manufacturing and Solomon have become sworn enemies.
For the past few years, the two companies have been locked in a bloody battle within the industry. One day you release a new product, the next I release one. Salomon and BC Manufacturing have been battling each other like cockfighting chickens. Until last year, BC Manufacturing's shameless behavior upset the industry's equilibrium.
——BC Manufacturing has launched a new fighter jet. From its parameters to its appearance, this fighter jet is eighty percent similar to the Thor fighter jet designed by Qi Sha.
Simply put, it is plagiarism.
BC Manufacturing plagiarized Qi Sha's work and shamelessly put it on the market.
This incident caused a huge stir in the industry at the time. Everyone with a discerning eye could see that BC Manufacturing was plagiarizing, but considering BC Manufacturing's dominant position in the military equipment industry, no one dared to speak out.
But Solomon was not afraid of it.
Simon Austin ignored the threats and inducements made by BC, took it directly to court, and won the case.
BC Manufacturing was found guilty of plagiarism and was ordered to pay Solomon a substantial amount of compensation.
This incident happened when Ruan Qi first came to the Imperial Capital. At that time, she was still a nominal graduate student at the Imperial Capital University. The huge compensation from BC Manufacturing was received for her by Cao Zhixing, the dean of the School of Ordnance Engineering.
Ruan Qi still remembers this incident vividly, especially the hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation, which made her happy for several days.
"Is that person with triangular eyes made by BC?"
"No." Simon Austin shook his head. "Ron Smith was a partner of BC Manufacturing and invested over four billion in that plagiarized product. Later, the court ruled that BC was plagiarizing, and the entire product was removed from the shelves. Ron Smith lost all of his four billion."
Ruan Qi opened her eyes wide in shock.
"Didn't he know that the fighter jet was plagiarized when he invested?"
Simon: "He knows."
"Then he still..."
"Fortune and honor are sought through risk." Simon's cold eyes flashed with sarcasm. "He thought that with BC Manufacturing's capabilities, he could suppress the plagiarism issue. But he didn't expect that I would fight to the end."
The financial and energy expenditure required for lawsuits between companies is unimaginable. BC Manufacturing and Ron Smith had never imagined that Simon would endure a whole year with them over a single fighter jet, expending countless connections and money, and ultimately winning the lawsuit.
BC Manufacturing and Ron Smith almost lost everything because of this.
"Serves them right!" Ruan Qi snorted happily, "Anyone who plagiarizes other people's work should be chopped off!"
