Chapter 327: The lingering ghost of AOL
The old friends beside him were also quite helpless when they heard Zhang Fushan's expression change from happy to angry. They thought that the old friend was here to enjoy his old age and cultivate his mind and character, but they didn't expect that he still had the same bad temper~!
Of course, they were just thinking about this in their hearts. If they really said it out loud, there was no guarantee that this hot-tempered old man would vent his anger on them. Then it wouldn't be as easy as playing chess!
…
Not long after arriving at the unit, Zhang Junfeng received a call from Kim Jong-min, the chief prosecutor of the Seoul Prosecutor's Office, which surprised Zhang Junfeng.
"Junfeng, according to the information we received from the court, a representative from an American company filed a lawsuit yesterday afternoon, claiming that they were suing Nexon's instant messaging software for alleged infringement and plagiarism, and demanding that the other party pay a huge amount of compensation and make a public apology!"
"I didn't react at first, until my subordinates suddenly mentioned it, and then I realized that the company being sued seemed to be on your side?"
When Zhang Junfeng heard that Nexon was being sued, he immediately realized something was wrong. After all, a company from the United States came all the way to Korea to sue an instant messaging software company for alleged infringement and plagiarism? The only company that could be involved was AOL, which had been making trouble there for the past year.
If I remember correctly, he should have discussed this matter with Nacho Morgan from JPMorgan Chase, and the other party promised solemnly that he would help to put in a call. According to the current situation, this AOL company clearly does not even give JPMorgan Chase face? !
But since the other party has already chased him to Gaoli to cause trouble, if he continues to swallow his anger, wouldn't it make Comet Capital look weak and vulnerable? Not only must he win the lawsuit, but he must also make the other party pay a heavy price. Only by killing the chicken to scare the monkey can those who want to benefit from Comet Capital put away their improper thoughts! ...
"Junfeng, since the other party is a company from the United States, they must have something to rely on to come to Korea to file this lawsuit. You must be prepared in advance to avoid being tricked by the other party." Seeing that Zhang Junfeng did not react for a while, Kim Jong-min on the other end of the phone took the lead in speaking up and reminding him.
After all, they are in the same camp. If Zhang Junfeng's interests are damaged, it will not benefit him either.
"Brother Jongmin, thank you for your timely notification. I will arrange someone to handle it as soon as possible. Let's play golf together when we have time in the future!" Zhang Junfeng reacted and expressed his gratitude to Jin Zhongmin who tipped off the person, then hung up the phone in a hurry.
Afterwards, Zhang Junfeng quickly called Wu Xiuying over and asked her to notify Mingren Law Firm to arrange for an elite lawyer who specializes in patent law and international law to come to his office as soon as possible. If possible, he also asked Director Wu (Wu Mingxi) to come over.
Seeing Zhang Junfeng's serious expression, Wu Xiuying quickly realized that the situation was a bit bad and nodded quickly. After returning to her workstation, she quickly picked up the phone and prepared to call someone.
…
In addition to Gaoli, Longguo Pengcheng also received similar lawsuits. When Ma Huazhu learned the news in advance through the channel, even the usually kind-hearted Ma Ge could not hold back at this time.
"This AOL company is simply a dog-skin plaster. They failed in the lawsuit in the United States last year, and this year they even came to Longguo to make trouble. They even shamelessly demanded huge compensation and a public apology? Do they deserve it?! Do they really think that our company is a soft persimmon that can be bullied by them and has no temper?"
Seeing Ma Huazhuo in a rage, his subordinates asked for countermeasures. Ma Huazhuo slammed the table and said in a very tough tone, "Since they want to sue, then we will fight them to the end! Contact the most professional lawyers in Pengcheng. Not only will we respond to the lawsuit, but we will also sue the other party for false accusation and demand double compensation from them~!"
"Anyway, our Little Penguin has already entered version 3.0, which is already very different from the original version. It is simply wishful thinking for them to win this lawsuit!" Ma Huazhuo, who is familiar with the situation of his own instant messaging software, has very strong confidence.
What's more, as their Penguin company continues to grow, it is almost becoming a "star enterprise" in Pengcheng, and it pays a considerable amount of tax every year. Under such circumstances, this trouble-making AOL company wants to win the patent lawsuit in Longguo? Haha~!
Seeing that the boss Ma Huazhuo was so confident that he was not afraid of being sued, the subordinates who were originally a little nervous suddenly relaxed. Thinking that a company like theirs could attract American companies to find fault with them one after another, didn't it also show that their company's products were good enough to make the other party feel fearful and panicked?
Otherwise, why would they go to such great lengths to "wipe them out" and hold on to them?
"Boss Ma, I'll contact them right away. By the way, should we contact the media reporters? If we can get a large number of citizens and netizens to support us, even if some crooked guys want to favor those foreigners, we can still control public opinion and avoid being attacked from all sides..."
Hearing this reminder from his subordinate, Ma Huazhuo thought for a moment and agreed. Since those foreigners came to Longguo to cause trouble for them, they must have something to rely on. If they can seize the initiative, there is no reason to give others an advantage. The first move is the best way to win! ...
As time went on, AOL representatives quickly launched a second round of offensive in Korea and Ryūkyō, spreading rumors in newspapers in both countries that the other party had plagiarized ICQ, an instant messaging software that they acquired last year, and presented a series of so-called evidence in an attempt to guide public opinion.
The public who were unaware of this and the registered users of the instant messaging software were shocked when they heard the news. Some angry netizens even started to complain that the infringement by Nexon and Penguin was shameful.
Seeing that the situation was developing in an uncontrollable direction, Zhang Junfeng, the big boss behind the scenes, quickly issued an order and began to fight back in an all-out manner, not allowing the other party to have any breathing space! He even sued the other party for spreading rumors and defamation, which had damaged the reputation of his company.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
…
The first to take action was the Goryeo side, which was the base camp. Jin Youdao, the head of the Black Panther Security Company, who had not received orders from Zhang Junfeng for a long time, gladly accepted the task assigned by Zhang Junfeng.
