Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

"Mr. Zhao, you're looking for me!"

Zhou Min quickly arrived at the door of the general manager's office, knocked on the door, and walked in after getting permission.

"Is there anyone in Europe copying our products?" Zhao Wenhao asked directly without any further ado.

Zhou Min had originally planned to report this to Zhao Wenhao, but when her boss asked about it, she nodded immediately: "Indeed, I have a relative who works for a foreign company in Shanghai.

He went on a business trip to the UK last month. During his free time, he went shopping in a mall and saw a washing machine that was almost identical to ours.

Because they bought our washing machine products, they felt very surprised when they saw it.

That washing machine was a foreign brand, and when he came back, he called me to ask if our product was copied from someone else.

Zhao Wenhao nodded gently, a bitter smile appeared on his face, and his eyes revealed deep helplessness.

Today, the company is expanding, but most of its energy is still focused on the domestic market.

Although overseas markets are also involved, operations are mainly carried out through agents or direct sales.

Therefore, the company has limited understanding of the specific conditions of foreign markets.

He had considered setting up overseas offices or branches, but achieving this goal was not something that could be done overnight. Everything needed to be planned and carried out in an organized manner.

In addition, developing overseas markets requires professional talent support, which is exactly the resource that Hengyuan Electronics currently lacks.

Due to these reasons, they were unaware of foreign companies imitating Hengyuan Electronics products and lacked effective information channels to learn about it.

Zhao Wenhao's expression grew serious, and his tone grew more solemn: "Manager Zhou, this matter is extremely serious. We must conduct a comprehensive and in-depth investigation."

Seeing that the boss took it so seriously, Zhou Min naturally understood what he meant.

She secretly sighed in her heart: "It seems that the boss is going to play for real!"

So, she asked tentatively, "Mr. Zhao, what do you need our marketing department to do?"

Zhao Wenhao's eyes were firm and his tone was serious as he said, "Well, I will allocate funds to you. You will take the lead and go to Europe, America and Asia together with the relevant personnel from the Ministry of Law and other departments.

Whether you hire a local investigation firm or conduct your own investigation, I need to conduct a comprehensive investigation and prepare a detailed report on any units involved in infringing our patented technology.

Of course, there's no need to alarm them for now. Once we have solid evidence, we can take unified action."

Zhao Wenhao's eyes were full of determination and confidence. He knew that this was an arduous battle, but he also firmly believed that only in this way could the interests of the company be truly protected.

He continued, "This action not only concerns the future development of our company, but also represents a strong response to those who infringe on intellectual property rights. We must resolutely defend our rights and let the world know that we will not tolerate any infringement."

After hearing this, Zhou Min felt a surge of pressure in his heart.

Since its establishment, Hengyuan Electronics has been committed to scientific and technological innovation and intellectual property protection, continuously increasing R&D investment and actively carrying out technological innovation activities.

To date, the company has applied for more than 200 patents of various types, covering multiple fields and technical directions.

Among them, significant breakthroughs have been made in frequency conversion technology and washing machine drum technology, and a large number of related patents have been successfully applied for.

It is worth mentioning that although drum technology is mainly used in washing machines, frequency conversion technology has a wider range of applications.

In addition to being widely used in the field of home appliances, it can also be used in various industrial equipment and machinery manufacturing fields.

For example, in large-scale mechanical equipment such as crushers and ball mills used in metallurgical mines and building materials applications, if variable frequency load technology is used, energy consumption and equipment wear can be effectively reduced, and production efficiency and product quality can be improved.

In addition, in the field of compressors, whether it is a small compressor for air conditioning or a high-pressure, large-capacity compressor required by industries such as steel, mining, and chemicals, more efficient operation and lower energy consumption can be achieved through frequency conversion technology.

In short, Hengyuan Electronics has made important breakthroughs in many fields and successfully applied for numerous patents with its strong R&D strength and innovation capabilities.

Those relevant units that want to bypass this technology will inevitably need to spend a lot of time and money to achieve a breakthrough.

This is also the capital for Hengyuan Electronics' current survival and core interests.

Therefore, Zhao Wenhao decided to show no tolerance for the sudden emergence of counterfeit products and infringing companies.

"Mr. Zhao, if we do this, it may take some time, after all, it involves many areas."

Zhou Min was in a dilemma. With so many places to go, and they were all overseas, she was unfamiliar with the place and felt a little overwhelmed to complete the task.

"Don't worry, I'll provide the people and money if you need them. I'll call the legal department shortly and ask them to cooperate with you. Also, if you need any other cooperation, you can tell me directly. The company will fully cooperate."

Zhao Wenhao waved his hand, appearing very domineering.

Of course he knew that this would take time, but he had to do it.

If a certain warning is not given, other companies will inevitably follow suit, and eventually the company's intellectual property will become a piece of waste paper.

Frequency conversion technology has a wide range of applications. Currently, it is only used in the home appliance industry, but it will inevitably be involved in other industries in the future.

Zhao Wenhao’s idea is to expand the impact through this incident.

At the same time, it can also play a great publicity role.

In the future, if other industries want to use frequency conversion technology, they must first obtain the consent of Hengyuan Electronics.

In this way, the royalties collected from this patented technology alone will generate considerable income. Remember, this is a global market, not just a domestic one.

It’s like the future Pengcheng Langke Technology Company, because they invented the USB flash drive and applied for patents in all aspects.

As a result, the company was able to live quite comfortably just by collecting patent royalties.

Zhao Wenhao knew about such a case, so he attached great importance to this matter.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have told Zhou Min: Give me people if you want them, give me money if you want it, and cooperate fully!

"Mr. Zhao, with your words, I feel relieved." Zhou Min patted her bulging chest, and her heart suddenly surged.

really big!

Zhao Wenhao secretly swallowed his saliva, quickly moved his eyes away and looked away.

Unfortunately, Zhou Min is already in her early thirties and has average looks. Perhaps her only proud feature is her size.

Of course, Zhao Wenhao didn’t have any other thoughts. He just took a glance occasionally to satisfy his eyes.
