The penniless son of the penniless ...

Chapter 245 AOL's Decision

"…According to our investigation, the functions of both Dragon Country's Little Penguin and South Korea's Kakao Talk are similar to our ICQ software, and their development and launch time lags behind ICQ…"

Henry Scott's eyes lit up immediately, and he continued, "So what you mean is that we can sue the other party for copying our software, demanding that they stop infringing and pay a huge amount of compensation?!"

If this is true, then it is absolutely great news for AOL. Just by winning the two lawsuits, they can get a huge amount of compensation, so that the cost of the acquisition can be recovered in one go. This deal is quite cost-effective!
Ashley Moore hesitated for a few seconds, then answered uncertainly, "In theory, that's right, but Weissger, Wadi, and Goldfinger (founders of ICQ software) were short-sighted guys who didn't register the patent copyright in time, so it's a bit difficult to win the lawsuit..."

"Oh, shit! These bastards have been dragging their feet on such an important matter. They simply don't have any brains at all!" Hearing what his assistant said, Henry Scott wanted to say hello to these three founders who were quite unreliable in doing things.

Since they have realized the market and huge value of ICQ, how could they not register the patent copyright in time, leaving such a big loophole? ! It is now very difficult for them to protect their rights.

According to relevant international patent laws, the first-to-file principle has considerable advantages. Now the other party has taken the lead. If they want to sue, it will be difficult for them to find effective legal basis to support their case, which will inevitably lead to a significant reduction in their chances of winning.

But even so, Henry Scott was unwilling to let him suffer such a huge loss in silence.

After some consideration, Henry Scott, the general manager, decided to sue the companies that produced the two Asian instant messaging software, accusing them of plagiarism and infringement.

He just wanted to give it a try and put some pressure on the other party. If the other party was afraid before the fight, he could take advantage of the situation. If they lost the case, they wouldn't suffer much loss, and they could even create momentum for their products. It seemed that they didn't lose anything!
……

In Jiangnan District, inside Zhang Junfeng’s villa.

Li Fuzhen, who had been pestered by Zhang Junfeng for the past two days, lay lazily on the bed. Seeing the tired Zhang Junfeng rubbing his waist subconsciously, she couldn't help but sneered, "Hmph! You have been thinking about bullying me these two days. I see that your physical condition doesn't seem to be very good~!"

Hearing Li Fuzhen teasing him like this, Zhang Junfeng's face darkened, but he quickly pretended that he hadn't heard anything and stood up to make himself a cup of coffee to wake himself up.

Seeing Zhang Junfeng's completely different reaction, Li Fuzhen's face showed a brilliant smile of revenge. Although she didn't have much strength now, it didn't stop her from laughing at Zhang Junfeng's joke.

……

While leaning on the sofa and sipping coffee, he looked curiously at Li Fuzhen on the bed. He asked, "I plan to take a flight to America the day after tomorrow. Do you want to go with me?" "... You can go by yourself. I won't join you." Li Fuzhen glanced at Zhang Junfeng unhappily and directly rejected his proposal. She had been tossed around a lot these two days. She couldn't even take care of the company's affairs. How could she have time to run around with him?
Hearing what Li Fuzhen said, Zhang Junfeng chuckled, "Why did you suddenly change your mind? Aren't you afraid that I'll meet some beautiful women in America? There are many beautiful Hollywood actresses there~!"

"...That depends on whether you are capable of it?" Li Fuzhen glanced at Zhang Junfeng and said meaningfully.

Although it was just a short sentence, it caused tons of damage to Zhang Junfeng. He didn't expect that a proud woman like Li Fuzhen would actually become a senior driver. If he didn't feel his legs were a little weak and his whole body was hollowed out, he would definitely argue with this woman who dared to question him and verify his own strength~!

However, Zhang Junfeng, who is now too weak to fight, can only endure his anger for the time being, and "while the green mountains remain, there is hope". He will regroup and fight back again in the future. He will make this woman pay the price for her arrogance today!

……

In the president's office of Samsang Department Store, Song Minyan looked surprised when she saw Wu Xiuying coming to visit. It was reasonable for her to not report the recent situation to Huixing Capital for a while. Why would Wu Xiuying, Zhang Junfeng's assistant, come here for no reason? It couldn't be that she came here to ask questions, right?
Wu Xiuying looked at Song Minyan with a smile, and when she saw that she was a little nervous, she said, "President Song is really good at hiding things. If someone hadn't tipped him off, I'm afraid the boss wouldn't know that something had happened to you!"

"President Song, are you ready for what's next?"

Hearing Wu Xiuying's sudden question, Song Minyan's heart suddenly tightened and she felt a little uneasy. Could it be that Zhang Junfeng had already known about her affairs?
Fortunately, Song Minyan's ability and character have improved during her time as the head of Samsang Department Store, so she did not show any fear under Wu Xiuying's test. She asked calmly, "I wonder what Assistant Wu is talking about?"

Seeing that Song Minyan did not fall into her language trap as she expected, Wu Xiuying felt a little regretful. However, she did not dwell on it and explained her purpose seriously, and also conveyed Zhang Junfeng's intention to Song Minyan.

Hearing that Zhang Junfeng already knew about this matter and understood that Wu Xiuying came to help him keep the management rights of the company, Song Minyan, who was originally relatively calm, sighed helplessly. It seemed that the two consultants before must have passed the message to Zhang Junfeng, the big boss behind the scenes, without her knowledge, so he sent someone over so quickly.

However, she has already received financial support from Zhang Fushan. Even without the help of Zhang Junfeng, she is confident that she can win this all-round business defense battle.

"The funds have been prepared. The next step is to acquire as many shares of the company as possible, reaching more than 50%, before the other party initiates an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders," Song Minyan explained with a firm tone.
