Reborn in 95, I unearthed a gold mine after the family split up.

Although Wang, the general manager of the sales department, and his subordinates lowered their voices, Zhang Dong still heard everything clearly.

He applied for the patent in the first place, just in case.

In the current situation, even though I have seized the market opportunity by taking advantage of my rebirth, I can't just eat the meat myself; others don't even have the right to drink the soup.

Rather than letting them manufacture it secretly, it's better to give them peace of mind.

Having figured this out, Zhang Dong looked at Vice President Wang in front of him.

"This matter is over, and you don't need to hold onto it. Since they want to produce, let them produce."

"In addition, I will release this patent in my hands so that more domestic manufacturers can produce VCD series products."

"What, relinquish the patents you hold?"

If Zhang Dong's statement that he would not pursue the responsibility of those pirate manufacturers had greatly shocked General Manager Wang, then this statement was quite surprising.

What Zhang Dong said now deeply shocked them.

"Boss, we're already being lenient with them by turning a blind eye and not pursuing their responsibility for counterfeiting and shoddy products."

“If we don’t open up the patents, even if they produce, they will do so cautiously and secretly.”

"But once you loosen the patent restrictions, won't everyone rush to start production? These manufacturers can then openly produce and operate day and night."

"At that time, they will act with impunity, not only producing openly and honestly, but also owing us no favors whatsoever..."

"Yes, yes, boss, please reconsider."

“In situations like this, we turn a blind eye to keep them from going too far. But if we loosen the patent restrictions, wouldn't that be outrageous…”

Seeing the unwilling expressions on Vice President Wang's and his men's faces, Zhang Dong also had his own considerations.

His thinking was that money could never be earned enough, and even if he sued to hold someone accountable, he couldn't stop such things from happening.

In that case, why not just open it up and start producing even more advanced products?

"There's nothing to consider, and you don't need to worry. Even if the patents are liberalized, we won't be greatly affected..."

After the boss said that, Vice President Wang and his subordinates felt unwilling, but they also understood that the boss had his reasons for doing so, so they didn't say anything more.

Initially, they were worried after discovering counterfeit products on the market, but after understanding Zhang Dong's idea, their previous worries vanished without a trace...

Seeing that Vice President Wang and the others had finally left, Zhang Dong continued with his work.

Since he has already said it and done it,

Next, Zhang Dong notified the relevant personnel in the company to publish a public announcement in the newspaper, saying that their Ba Zong Group had released its patents, and that any manufacturer could produce VCD players and related products.

After the announcement was published in the newspaper, Zhang Dong received news that VCD manufacturers across the country were in an uproar.

Just as Mr. Wang and his subordinates had predicted, countless companies started producing VCD products, but no one expressed any gratitude to their company.

With numerous manufacturers launching their own VCDs, the sales sector and market have become chaotic.

On this day, an uninvited guest came to his company.

It was none other than Bobel, the president of Edward Company's China branch, who had previously become his OEM manufacturer with a face full of resentment.

Zhang Dong could tell at a glance that the president of the China region was filled with anger.

Seeing the other party's attitude, Zhang Dong found it amusing. He hadn't expected that it would be this Bobel who came to his door in a fit of rage, seemingly there to demand an explanation.

“Mr. Zhang Dong, what you’re doing is really unfair.”

Upon meeting, Pope angrily accused Zhang Dong of being unkind.

Knowing why the other party had come, Zhang Dong deliberately feigned surprise.

"Oh my, you, the big boss of Edward Company, are quite the imposing figure. You come here and accuse me of being unfair. Well then, tell me, where have I been unfair?"

"Mr. Zhang, don't you know how dishonest you've been? Who gave you the right to release the VCD production patent?"

"After you loosened the restrictions, our company's orders plummeted."

“Previously, these counterfeit companies, although they tried to prevent the piracy of our products, did not dare to be so blatant.”

"But after you published it in the newspaper, it was as if they had obtained a royal decree. Regardless of their ability, they immediately took out loans to start their own projects, wanting to get a share of the VCD market."

"As a result, our contract manufacturers have no way to survive, and their output has plummeted."

Understanding that Pope was anxious about this matter, Zhang Dong couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Haha, Mr. Pope, you've wandered onto the wrong set, haven't you?"

“You’re just our agent. We give you production when we have orders, and you can produce other things when we don’t have orders. Why do you have to hang yourself on this crooked tree?”

"Isn't this the legendary story of a young woman begging for food, stubbornly clinging to her beliefs?"

Popel was a well-informed person, so of course he knew what Zhang Dong meant by saying that a young woman begging for food was stubborn.

“Mr. Zhang Dong, you are being very unfair. You made us your company’s OEM manufacturer, but you cut our orders in this way.”

"What about our workers? They need to eat. Now that orders have decreased, they're cursing and mocking our Edward Company, saying that a prestigious international brand like us is being led by the nose."

"I'm also very angry. I just don't understand, Mr. Zhang, why did you have to do this?"

"You've already applied for patents for the relevant products, so why are you suddenly opening them up? Aren't you deliberately targeting our agency?"

In reality, Zhang Dong's actions were not directed at Pope and his group.

Rather, I feel that when running a company and developing products, you can't be too domineering. After all, there's always money to be made in the market, and no matter how powerful or awesome you are, you can't do that.

In addition, he also had upgraded products, which is why Zhang Dong took this action.

Who would have thought that the vice president of Edward Company would come knocking on their door to demand an explanation?

Despite the other party's agitation, Zhang Dong was neither angry nor anxious.

“Mr. Pope, please calm down and let me explain.”

Seeing that Zhang Dong remained smiling and calm, Bobel had no choice but to suppress his anger: "Fine, then explain why this is happening."

After his accusations, he had vented most of his anger, but at the same time, it made him even more confused.
