Rising from Fudimo (God Capital Tiger)

Chapter 13 Small Problems

Yang Xuemin's grandfather founded the Yimeiren Group, which mainly produces and develops beauty cosmetics. It has been further developed in the hands of Yang Guicheng. It was successfully listed five years ago and is a well-known large-scale private enterprise in this city.

The products of Yimeiren Group are sold all over the country, and they are well-known all over the country. How can they say that they will collapse?

"Let's talk more about it when we eat."

The two came to a small restaurant, and after ordering a few dishes, Yang Xuemin specially ordered a bottle of high-grade liquor.

Before the food was served, Yang Xuemin couldn't wait to drink a small glass of wine, it was so hot that she almost couldn't open her eyes.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Only then did Yang Xuemin slowly say that after their company went public five years ago, they wanted to strike while the iron was hot and invest a huge amount of money in the research and development of several new high-end cosmetics to bring the company's brand to a new level.

Once this project is successful, it will be able to rank among the first-tier brands in the country, needless to say the benefits.

According to the plan, the entire project has invested [-] billion yuan, and a research and development team of [-] people has been formed, with Yang Guicheng personally serving as the research and development team leader.

They expect to complete the research and development in five years, and then three years to get the approval for mass production. A total of eight years will be required for new products to be launched.

The plan was originally going smoothly, and the research and development of all new products will be completed this summer. All data collection and analysis, and tests have been completed, and the last step is to manufacture the finished product.

But just two months ago, another cosmetics company in a neighboring province took the lead in launching a new product and applied for a patent.

The problem is that the company's new product is the result of five years of research and development by Yimeiren Group!

Li Yiming frowned, "There are ghosts inside you? There are commercial spies!"

Yang Xuemin had already drank three glasses of spirits when she told the story, her face was slightly rosy, and her emotions became agitated.

She slapped the table angrily, "I watched their press conference video, the so-called new product is a complete copy of our research results, this is an obvious steal!"

"Then take the legal route and sue them."

Yang Xuemin smiled wryly, shook her head helplessly, and said: "Intellectual property lawsuits are the most difficult to fight, and they are impeccable, and they even applied for patent rights beforehand. I asked a lawyer, and the possibility of winning the lawsuit is almost zero. .”

Intellectual property rights are first come, first served, even if you are the inventor, but if you do not register and apply first, the patent right will belong to others.

Li Yiming asked: "So all your research and development investments have been in vain?"

The Yang family has already lost the patent rights of these products, and all the painstaking efforts in the past five years have been made into wedding dresses for others.

"More than that, the chain effect caused by this is that our market will be further seized, shareholders will lose confidence in us, and once the stock falls below, we will go bankrupt!"

If they can't win the lawsuit and get back the patent rights, it's only a matter of time before they go bankrupt.

After Yang Xuemin finished talking, she wiped her eyes, and said, "Today, the lawyer told me that based on the evidence collected so far, it is basically impossible to win. Let us find another way, but I... really can't help it." gone."

Then she picked up another glass of wine, and said bitterly: "I don't know what to do now, it's better to get drunk and rest." After finishing speaking, she was ready to drink the glass of spirits.

In the end, Li Yiming stopped him.

"It's not time to cry yet."

Yang Xuemin looked at Li Yiming, "Then what else can I do now?"

"The company hasn't closed down yet, so it's too early to give up. I'll go to your company tomorrow." After speaking, Li Yiming stood up, "The boss pays the bill."

Yang Xuemin was stunned, and looked at Li Yiming inexplicably.

"Okay, stop drinking, I'll take you home."

Without any explanation, Li Yiming helped the drunk Yang Xuemin into the BMW 760, and drove her back home.

Seeing this, Yang Guicheng and Yang's mother didn't know what happened.

"Xiao Li, why is she so drunk? Could it be that you two had a fight?" Yang Guicheng asked.

Li Yiming quickly explained, "No, it's just because of the company's affairs. Uncle, I'll go back first." He was afraid that Yang Guicheng would drag him to complain again, so he hurriedly fled the Yang family.

After returning home, after thinking about it for a while, he immediately had an idea.

How could he, who used to be all-powerful and contend for hegemony with all the heroes in the world, be stumped by such a small matter? To him, it was just a drizzle.

In the early morning of the next day, he first called his apprentice Lei Jianjun to take care of the store, and then drove straight to the headquarters building of Yimeiren Group.

Located in the bustling Yimeiren Building in the city center, in the CEO's office on the 32nd floor, Yang Xuemin still had a headache from a hangover.

"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have drunk so much. I was really ashamed to throw it home last night."

But she was also curious, Li Yiming said that if he came to the company today, could this man do anything?

Just as he was thinking, the secretary opened the door and poked his head in, "Mr. Yang, there is a Mr. Li Yiming who said he has an appointment with you."

"Oh, it's my friend, please come in."

Li Yiming swaggered into the office and looked around, "The environment is really nice, much better than my small shop."

Yang Xuemin hurriedly ordered the secretary to make tea, and asked, "Mr. Li, I'm sorry, I lost my composure last night. It's not about your business, I just want to talk to someone..."

Li Yiming waved his hand, "If you say that, then I'm going to leave. I'm not here to listen to you."

"Ah? Then you came today to..."

"Since Ms. Yang considers me a friend and is willing to reveal her feelings to me, how can I just sit idly by? I'm here to help you solve this matter."

Yang Xuemin was stunned for a moment, "How to solve it?"

After Li Yiming waited for the secretary to go out, he stretched out two fingers and replied, "I have two plans, and it's up to you to decide which one to use."

Yang Xuemin was very curious, "I would like to hear the details."

"The first set of plans is a soft approach. Peace is the most important thing in business. On the premise of not hurting the harmony of the two companies, we should work together for a win-win situation."

Yang Xuemin was taken aback, "Which two are you referring to?"

"Of course it refers to your Yang family and the company that stole your achievements."

"You can really do it?" Yang Xuemin couldn't believe it.

Li Yiming smiled lightly: "It's as easy as flipping the palm of your hand. If you don't forgive them, there is a second plan, which is to kill them!"

Yang Xuemin was taken aback, "Illegal things are not allowed!"

"Haha, of course I don't mean murder and arson, but let them eat their own fruits! But your Yang family can benefit from it and turn defeat into victory!"
