Chapter 242 Don’t You Think I’m Unprofessional?
Hao Jian was very grateful to Li Ye, thanking Li Ye for giving him two years, which allowed him to work as a factory director, meet many people, learn interpersonal communication, and adapt to certain environments.
Otherwise, he would definitely be fooled by the good-looking and bad-looking people of a few counterfeit manufacturers, and would definitely feel ashamed under the bombardment of all kinds of great principles.
Factory Manager A: "Comrade Xiao Hao, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you got so many pretty girls to steal our business in front of our booth, no one can stand that, right?
So we were just angry at the time and put a few similar clothes on the booth. Who would have thought that they would be favored by foreign merchants? After all, we are all earning foreign exchange for the country, so whoever sells will sell it."
Director Yi: "That's right, Director Hao, these clothes have two sleeves and two legs. Our clothes are not 100% identical to your Fenghua brand clothes!
You actually called the lawyers from Hong Kong Island over here. Aren’t you destroying our internal unity?"
Hao Jian's mouth almost turned crooked and he almost couldn't keep up his polite smile.
[All clothes have two sleeves and two legs. Everyone's clothes are not 100% the same. Damn, you just changed the buttons and labels. If you change your wife's hairstyle, she will become my daughter? ]
But Hao Jian didn't look angry at all.
Being neither humble nor arrogant, not showing one's feelings, and never getting angry are all important skills that Hao Jian has developed under Li Ye's arrangement in the past two years.
The three people opposite were usually business people who managed tens of thousands of people. They were skilled in switching between the red cop and the white cop, and had good words and a good aura.
Moreover, they are claiming to be "righteous". Most people would not be able to bear it if they were to encounter this. Being restless is the least of their worries. They might even think that they are in the wrong and feel sorry for this and that!
"Comrades, we only have the production authorization from Hong Kong Island Fenghua Company. As for claims and infringement, I don't understand!"
Hao Jian said aggrievedly: "And I don't know why they knew about your affairs. If I knew this, wouldn't I have reminded you a few days ago?"
Telling lies with open eyes is a communication skill that a person must have. When Hao Jian was selling hemp candy, Li Ye saw the talent of this guy. After two years of deliberate training, Hao Jian has already mastered it.
"Director Hao, please stop talking about these useless things," Director B said, "You have the production authorization anyway, right? Then let's coordinate with each other.
You can just say that we are just distributing for you, and the actual manufacturer is still your Pengcheng Seventh Factory. From now on, we will advance and retreat together, unite as one, and ensure that public assets will not suffer any losses. "
“Hehehe~”
Hao Jian smiled politely, but his heart was full of contempt.
[Distribute for us? And we will advance and retreat together in the future? Hehe, by then, not to mention that you guys are just imitating Fenghua clothing, I'm afraid that Pengcheng Seventh Factory will also follow your lead, right? Are you trying to appease the children? ]
Influenced by Li Ye, Hao Jian also hates "smart people" who have nothing in their hands but want to take advantage of others for free with their two mouths.
Moreover, Hao Jian has more than 30 collaborative processing partners, and he knows all the ins and outs of it.
Sika deer and roe deer can work together to advance and retreat, and sika deer and tigers can work together... Are you here to give them nutrition? Or are you here to give them a fur coat?
So no matter how the counterfeit factory managers spoke sweet words and empty promises, he just refused to express his opinion or agree.
No matter what you say, I will just ignore it. If you turn against me and act tough, there are four retired soldiers living in the next room. They can immediately protect my personal safety by smashing the cup as a signal.
Hao Jian waited patiently for the other party to finish speaking, and then said innocently: "You have found the wrong person, I am just a worker.
If I allow you to produce without permission, I will have to pay liquidated damages to the licensor according to the contract. And the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. Whoever made things difficult for you today should be the one you go to!"
The three factory managers looked at each other and savored Hao Jian's words, "I just work for others," and felt that they had a lot of connotations.
Finally, Factory Manager B said, “We wanted to talk to Lawyer Luo in Hong Kong Island, but he said that the exclusive production rights in the Mainland have been granted to you and he cannot violate the contract.”
Oh shit, I thought you guys thought highly of me, but it turns out I’ve run into a snag with Luo Runbo?
Hao Jian gritted his teeth and smiled, "I can help you communicate about this matter, but I have no idea what the specific result will be."
"Then I'll trouble you, Comrade Xiao Hao. This is a specialty from our hometown."
“No, no.”
"It should be."
"That's absolutely not possible."
Several factory managers pushed the gift back and forth with Hao Jian several times, but Hao Jian showed his "good character" and refused to accept it.
Seeing that Hao Jian was unmoved, several factory managers became angry. They thought, "If you don't take what you get, you will be grateful. If you don't take what you get, doesn't that mean you don't want to do your job?"
They are all cadres of high rank, and they really have bad tempers.
Factory Manager C asked in an ambiguous tone, "Xiao Hao, have you obtained the approval of our foreign trade department for the licensing of the patents you introduced from Hong Kong?"
Factory Manager A glanced at Hao Jian and said in surprise: "Director Hao, you didn't contact the Hong Kong businessman privately, did you? At this critical juncture, this is a taboo."
Factory Director B: "That's what I told you! How can our enterprise be restricted by foreign investors? So what are you doing, Xiao Hao? How can I say hello to you?"
“.”
Hao Jian raised his eyelids coldly and laughed.
When he was selling hemp candy, it was only for a few or ten dollars, and Hao Jian was prepared to be put in jail. Later, when his horizons broadened, he realized what kind of people the jail was prepared for.
I pay millions of taxes a year and earn half a million in foreign exchange for the country. Do you really think I'm not a cadre?
"Director, the question you asked has nothing to do with what you are worried about now, right?
Even if you arrest me and put me in jail, Hong Kong will still seek compensation, but they are seeking compensation from foreign companies, so I can do nothing about it."
“.”
Hao Jian's sudden change of expression startled the three experienced factory managers.
Are you going to overturn the table? Or are you too young and impatient?
Factory Director A hurriedly asked, "Director Hao, what are you talking about? Who said they're going to arrest you and put you in jail?"
Factory Manager B slapped his thigh and said, "Xiao Hao! We are all for Guo Jia's benefit. You can't just watch the foreign businessmen take away the hard-earned money of our workers and sisters for nothing? They are claiming foreign exchange."
You are claiming compensation from me, not from me. Why are you crying to me?
"Comrade Xiao Hao, we will go back and wait for news. You must help us connect and build bridges. We will become friends in the future."
"Okay, okay, I'll do it as soon as possible."
After Hao Jian sent those people away, he quickly used the hotel's phone to contact Beijing.
The call was made to the Beijing office of Pengcheng Factory No. 7, and the person who answered the phone was Jin Peng.
Hao Jian said: "Brother Jin, Li Ye is not here?"
Jin Peng said lazily: "He must not be here at this time! He has to go to school and date, he is so busy!"
"Oh my god~"
Hao Jian said with great discomfort: "It's urgent now, but Master Li is still waiting by the phone for news? He was still racing against time yesterday, but he forgot about it today after sleeping?"
"Why are you in such a hurry? When the enemy comes, we will stop him with our generals and when the water comes, we will block it with earth. When have we ever suffered a loss?"
Jin Peng said this casually, completely forgetting that he was more anxious than Li Ye when he just got the news a few days ago.
No matter how prosperous the business of Pengcheng Seven Factory is in the mainland, the money it makes is from the Great Unity. Even if the export trade is only allocated 30% of foreign exchange, the money it makes is still in US dollars.
The last time they went to Hong Kong Island, the two of them saw the prosperity of Hong Kong.
According to what Li Ye said, if you spend a few hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars to buy a house in Hong Kong Island and send your wife there to stay for two years, you can have a second child!
Hao Jian has only one daughter, and Jin Peng has not yet proven himself capable of doing so, so the attraction of having a son is extremely great.
"Then when Li Ye comes, you must call me right away! Those counterfeit manufacturers just came to me and put a lot of pressure on me."
"It's useless for them to come to you," Jin Peng said without hesitation, "Since the people from Hong Kong Island have arrived, you don't have to do anything. Just wait for the foreign trade people to come to you. If you hold on to your word, you may be able to get a lot of benefits."
“.”
Hao Jian was stunned for several seconds before he came to his senses.
"You guys have discussed this a long time ago! Why didn't you tell me earlier? I've been so anxious these past few days that I can't eat and my mouth is covered with blisters."
"Hehehe~, Hao Jian, don't be ungrateful!"
Jin Peng smiled and said, "Li Ye said that these are all valuable learning opportunities. If you don't believe me, think about it. In the entire Qingshui County, which factory director can bargain with so many people at the Canton Fair like you?"
"Believe it or not, if Li Ye shouts, there will be people willing to worry for you and have blisters on your lips? My master has worked all his life but has never been as successful as you!"
"I"
Hao Jian no longer had any temper.
He had been outside the Liuhua Exhibition Hall these days and had seen many people trying to sneak in. Any one he asked would find that they were more qualified than Hao Jian.
When Ning Pingping brought in her first $50,000 order, people at the nearby stalls all looked envious and jealous.
And tonight, several business people from large factories with tens of thousands of employees clearly hated Hao Jian to death, but they didn't do anything to him, did they?
Even so, you still complain that you can't eat? You still complain that your mouth is blistering?
What's wrong with the foam on your mouth? Is it not worth it?
It's not worth it.
. . . . . .
At eight o'clock in the evening, several factory managers went to see Luo Runbo and brought some local specialties with them.
However, when they arrived at the Oriental Hotel where Luo Runbo was staying, they happened to see Luo Runbo making a phone call at the front desk, chattering in a foreign language.
"What did he say?"
"How should I know? I don't speak foreign languages."
"Lao Zhong, you are a college student, what did he say?"
"Well he was talking to a British or American guy and he mentioned the figure of $280,000."
"Be more specific."
"Be more specific. I don't understand if you're more specific."
“.”
The three of them only then regretted not bringing an English translator.
However, Luo Runbo finished the call quickly, and then the three factory managers rushed over.
"Lawyer Luo, Comrade Hao Jian has already come to see you, right? Do you think we should find a place to talk?"
"In fact, Pengcheng Factory No. 7 has agreed in principle to allow us to obtain production authorization, but Lawyer Luo still needs to communicate with Hong Kong Island. We are also willing to pay the corresponding authorization fee."
"Lawyer Luo, in fact, our strength is stronger than that of Pengcheng Seventh Factory. Can you let us..."
“I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry!”
Luo Runbo quickly declined, saying, "I am just an attorney. What I can handle is whether to sue the infringing company and discuss how much pre-court settlement money can be obtained. As for production authorization, I have no authority."
Factory Manager A asked with some confusion: "What does pre-court settlement money mean?"
Luo Runbo explained very professionally: "The infringing party knows that they are in the wrong and is willing to compensate us a sum of money so that we can cancel the infringement lawsuit."
"That means as long as unauthorized goods appear on the international market, we can sue them and at least get a substantial amount of compensation."
Factory Manager B quickly asked, "How much is this money usually?"
Luo Runbo smiled and said, "That depends on my professional level, but according to convention, they should pass the compensation on to you."
“.”
[So we are the only ones who need to pay for everything, right? ]
The three factory managers simply hated these money-oriented exploiters.
Especially since Lao Zhong just mentioned 280,000 US dollars, and the total compensation for the three parties is about 300,000 US dollars.
A few foreign businessmen signed a contract, and they haven't even paid a dime in deposit yet! They have already made 200,000 or 300,000 US dollars?
This makes money faster than robbery!
"Lawyer Luo, if we purchase the products from Pengcheng Seventh Factory and then fulfill our orders with foreign companies, then we will not infringe on your patent rights and production authorization, right?"
“.”
Luo Runbo was stunned for several seconds before he said angrily, "This question is very professional. I can't give you a definite answer."
"Okay, we'll talk about it later."
The three factory managers turned and left, taking away the gifts they had brought with them.
After the others walked away, Luo Runbo muttered, "Didn't you think I was very unprofessional just now?"
