The consequences of having one's equipment copied are obvious.
Frank felt a chill run down his spine, sensing that within a few years, his imported equipment would have no market here and he would have to slink back home.
"You should get firsthand information about their forgery and take them to court!" Lu Jiajia's eyes flashed with ruthlessness.
His fawning manner was no different from that of the traitors of the past.
Frank agreed with her idea, but obtaining firsthand information was easier said than done.
He wanted Lu Jiajia to sneak into the machinery factory and film the production process for him.
They would then purchase the equipment sold by the sellers, disassemble each component, compare it with their own equipment, and produce a detailed report as the basis for their lawsuit.
For this reason, Frank specifically called over his legal team from Shanghai.
Having worked in the Shanghai market for so many years, he is very experienced and knows how to protect his rights.
Lu Jiajia was happy to serve her and was thinking of finding an opportunity to work at the machinery factory.
Unbeknownst to her, Huo Xiao had sent people to follow her.
......
In the office, Lu Wanqing was listening to Huo Xiao and Chun Tao's report.
Chuntao felt very guilty about how she handled the situation and said that it would not happen again.
Lu Wanqing didn't mean to blame her; instead, she smiled and said:
"You sacrificed your body this time, but you can't take such risks in the future. Those foreign devils are very wicked."
One sentence eased Chun Tao's anxiety and made her feel much more at ease.
However, Lu Wanqing also realized that the bigger the tree, the more the wind will blow. The hotel has to deal with all kinds of people every day, and it is inevitable that it will encounter the same thing in the future. What if it cannot prove its innocence?
At that time, we were still in the era of analog surveillance, using magnetic tape recorders to record video and displaying it on analog monitors.
Moreover, video surveillance is only an important means of security and prevention, and is only used in important departments such as banks and the military; it has not yet been commercialized.
Lu Wanqing wanted Huo Xiao to find surveillance equipment to install, but they couldn't find any on the market.
She immediately thought of Han Tao.
He works in the aviation sector, where he deals with cutting-edge technology; he might have access to these things.
She immediately picked up the phone and called Han Tao.
Han Tao was quite curious when he heard that she wanted to find surveillance footage. How did she know that such things existed?
"Brother, don't ask anymore. If I had any, I would have sent someone to talk to you. This is a legitimate job, and we want to hire a batch."
Lu Wanqing said yes, and happily arranged a time and place to meet with him.
After hanging up the phone, she said to Chun Tao:
"Go see him tomorrow, he'll help you with the installation plan."
Chun Tao hesitated a bit. She had heard that Han Tao was very aloof. Would they not be able to get along?
"President Lu, could you let President Huo go instead?" This was the first time she had turned down a job.
Despite Huo Xiao's quick wit and exceptional competence, he still felt intimidated when facing someone like Han Tao.
"Let's forget it, I have to meet an important client tomorrow," he made up an excuse.
Having customers is true, but it's not that important.
“My older brother won’t eat people. Chun Tao, you should go. He’s a girl, after all, and he should be gentle.”
Seeing their attempts to shirk responsibility, Lu Wanqing had no choice but to use a commanding tone.
The next day, Chun Tao chose a proper business suit, combed her hair into a low ponytail, and was driven by the hotel to the meeting place.
It was a research building.
The buildings still retain the style of the former Soviet Union and are quite old.
She walked towards the door and saw Han Tao discussing a problem with several older scholars, so she consciously moved aside and waited quietly.
The autumn air is crisp and clear, with blue skies and white clouds overhead. The trees in the yard rustle in the wind, and every now and then a few golden leaves drift down.
She carried a handbag and looked around obediently. Han Tao glanced at her casually, and the person and the environment blended naturally, like a beautiful oil painting.
This was the first time he had ever been distracted while discussing work with colleagues.
After finally finishing their discussion, he straightened his clothes and walked towards Chun Tao.
"You must be Chun Tao. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Let me take you to the cafeteria for lunch, and we can chat while we eat." He tried his best to appear gentle.
Chun Tao had seen him at various parties and events before, but this was the first time she had met him so closely. She found that although he was over forty and had entered middle age, he did not look old at all. His skin was even and without any wrinkles, and his features were three-dimensional and angular. In particular, his eyelashes were even longer than those of girls.
"Okay." Realizing she had been a bit out of line, she quickly agreed.
Han Tao smiled slightly and led her to the cafeteria next door, talking about the surveillance footage as they walked.
Actually, the reason others misunderstand him as aloof is simply because he feels there's no common ground in conversation and is too lazy to talk.
For some reason, he was very expressive today.
He helped Chun Tao get her food, and the two sat facing each other, continuing their conversation about the surveillance footage.
Chun Tao finally noticed that whenever he talked about these professional matters, his eyes would light up, as if he had endless things to say, and he was nowhere near as aloof as he seemed.
He started by talking about the invention of surveillance, then its applications, and then its future development. By the end of the meal, they still hadn't gotten to any specific solutions.
Chun Tao felt that the progress was too slow and that they should get straight to the point, so she asked:
"I'd like to install surveillance cameras in the lobby and hallways. Is that possible?"
Han Tao realized he had been talking too much today, so he cleared his throat and said:
"It's feasible, but we need to visit the site to determine the solution."
"Then send someone tomorrow," Chun Tao nodded.
He chuckled and said:
"There's been a lot going on at work lately, and the person in charge of this is away on a business trip. I'll go and take a look for you instead. I'll come see you tonight."
Chun Tao was surprised to find that Han Tao was not aloof at all, but rather so approachable.
"Thank you, I'll wait for you at the hotel."
Chun Tao left after coming out of the cafeteria.
Han Tao returned to the research institute and began to devote himself to his work so that he could have free time in the evenings.
When he finished his work at seven o'clock, he rushed to the hotel without even having time to eat.
At this moment, Chun Tao was still looking around in the hotel lobby, thinking that he had forgotten their promise and wouldn't come.
A hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes. She went to the front desk, ready to give a few instructions and leave work, when a drunk man carrying a bottle of wine staggered toward her with a smile.
The drunkard's eyes were glazed over, and his smile was quite eerie. Upon seeing her, he shouted:
"Ma'am, I lost my access card. Could you please give me a new one?"
Chun Tao gave him a professional smile and asked him to give her the room number.
Unexpectedly, this immediately angered the drunk man, who grabbed her arm and tried to pull her towards the corridor, muttering:
"What room number? You sleep with me for one night, and I'll tell you!"
Chun Tao looked disgusted, but couldn't show it. Just as she was struggling to break free, a large hand shoved the drunkard eight feet away...
