Chapter 653 I am a kind person

The latest website: Boss Huang was stunned by Li Weidong's question. The boss of a big sports brand is looking for fake shoes. What is this going to do?

After thinking for a while, Boss Huang said, I'm an OEM, how can I know who sells fake shoes!

Boss Huang, are you kidding me? You have been in this business for so many years, how could you not know someone selling fake shoes? Li Weidong said with a smile.

Chairman Li, is there someone who doesn't have long eyes and made fake shoes for you to sell? Boss Huang asked tentatively.

If there were no fake shoes, wouldn't our Feiyue shoes be too unbranded! Li Weidong said.

Although there are not as many fake shoes as Nike and Adidas, there are still some fake shoes on the market. Not to mention, Kobe, Tracy McGrady, Carter and other stars are so popular, and several of their signature sneakers all have the existence of fake shoes.

It is difficult to avoid fake basketball shoes for big brand basketball shoes. Unless Feiyue Sports reduces the price of real shoes to the same as fake shoes, the existence of fake shoes cannot be avoided.

Boss Huang said, Chairman Li, as far as I know, the production and sales of these fake shoes have already formed an industrial chain, and it is almost impossible to eradicate them. If you catch one today, there will be others. Do, it can be said that the wildfire can't burn out, and the spring breeze blows again!

I understand what you're talking about. It's a fact that exists. Li Weidong continued: But I'm looking for fake shoes, not to settle accounts with them, but to ask them to do some things.

Isn't it here to settle accounts? Boss Huang was stunned again.

Li Weidong went on to say: How much money can those who sell fake shoes make all year round? I, Li Weidong, don't know how to deal with a fake shoe seller!

Chairman Li, don't underestimate those who sell fake shoes, especially those who have channels to smuggle shoes into the United States, they make several times more money than me! Boss Huang said.

Yes, this is what I want. There is a channel to sell fake shoes to the United States! Li Weidong continued; Boss Huang, please help me make an appointment for a dinner. I have a business to negotiate.

Okay, since you need it, then I will ask someone to ask. Boss Huang replied.

After all, Boss Huang also counted on Li Weidong to provide orders, so he naturally agreed to Li Weidong's request.

...

evening,

Ellis returned home with a bottle of red wine in his hand.

The wife came out of the kitchen, saw the red wine in Ellis's hand, and asked, Is there anything to celebrate?

My lawsuit with Adidas is about to end, so it's naturally worth celebrating. Ellis continued with a smug smile:

Adidas also wants to bypass my patent and apply for another Tianzu patent! It's a daydream! Without my patent authorization, Adidas would never want to use Tianzu again!

The wife was stunned for a few seconds, and then asked, Did you buy a bottle of red wine just because the lawsuit with Adidas is about to end?

Or else? Ellis asked subconsciously.

I thought you were going to celebrate and signed a big contract with Feiyue! The wife replied.

The contract over Feiyue is still under negotiation! The specific conditions have not yet been negotiated. Feiyue is willing to give me a share of the sales, but we have a big disagreement about the proportion of the share. I want 50%, but they are only willing to give it to me. 25%, Ellis replied.

Is that so? Are you sure you haven't reached a deal with Feiyue? There was distrust in his wife's tone.

What, dear, don't you believe me? Ellis asked rhetorically.

The wife snorted coldly and said, My son just bought a pair of Feiyue sneakers, and they used Tianzu's technology! Those sneakers look very trendy, and my son likes them very much.

It's impossible! I haven't licensed the patent to Feiyue, how can they use Tianzu's technology! Ellis was shocked, and then asked; Where are those sneakers?

On my son's feet! the wife replied.

Without a word, Ellis hurried to find his son, and then he saw the new pair of basketball shoes.

It's really Tianzu! Ellis recognized at a glance the Tianzu technology used on the sneakers.

In order to meet the ergonomic bare foot effect, the natural foot technology has a unique design for the appearance of the sole, so it is easy to distinguish.

Ellis picked up the pair of sneakers and took a closer look. There was indeed a Leaping Arrow Logo on it, and from the trendy design of the sneakers, it was also very in line with the style of Leaping sneakers.

The positioning of Feiyue basketball shoes has always been more trend-oriented, which is also because James Bond is a fashion designer.

Compared with Nike and Adidas, the sneakers are more traditional. After all, the main designers of this old brand have been in the industry for decades, and their understanding of the trend is much weaker.

The next second, Ellis was furious.

I haven't licensed Tianzu's patent to Feiyue Sports, but they have launched sneakers with Tianzu technology, which is an infringement! In that case, don't blame me for being rude and not paying me a lot of money. , I will never let it go!

...

The next day, Ellis and James Bond sat at the negotiating table again.

Mr. Ellis, you previously proposed a 50% profit dividend, which is too high, and we really can't afford it. James Bond paused, then said:

You must know that in the entire production and sales process of the product, all the costs are paid by us, and you only need to pay for one patent license. It is too exaggerated to want to take 50% of the profit for one patent license.

However, Ellis said, Mr. Bond, I don't want to talk about this today!

Don't talk about this? James Bond looked puzzled, and then asked; So what are we talking about today?

I think we should talk about tort compensation first! Ellis said.

Infringement? Compensation? James Bond was confused, and then said: Mr. Ellis, I don't understand what you mean.

Mr. Bond, I want to see this thing, you understand! Ellis said, took out a shoe box and handed it to James Bond.

James Bond opened the shoe box, took out the sneakers inside, and suddenly showed a very surprised expression.

Mr. Ellis, where did you get these shoes? James Bond asked.

It doesn't matter! The important thing is that this pair of shoes uses Tianzu's technology, which is my patent. Your use of my patent without my authorization has constituted an infringement, and I have the right to claim compensation. ! Ellis said coldly.

James Bond looked unhurried, he said: Mr. Ellis, these shoes do use natural technology, if you don't get your authorization, it is indeed an infringement. But What does this have to do with us?

These are your shoes! You are infringing, and you say it has nothing to do with you? Ellis snorted coldly.

Mr. Ellis, how do you know these are our shoes? James Bond asked with a smile.

This has your logo on it, so obvious, can't you see it? Ellis said.

This is indeed the logo of our Feiyue Sports, but the shoes are not ours. James Bond shrugged and continued: We have never produced this sneaker from Feiyue Sports, this is not our product, this is a pair Fake shoes!

How do you explain the logo on that! Ellis asked immediately.

There are so many cars in the parking lot outside, if you put your name on every car, does that mean every car is yours?

James Bond pouted and continued: Mr. Ellis, although I don't know where you got these shoes, I can be sure that they were definitely not bought from our Feiyue Sports store. .

Because we have never produced such a shoe, this pair of shoes is a fake shoe with our logo on it. If you don't believe me, you can go to our store to check. As for why there is a logo of our leap on it, it is probably to counterfeit our brand.

If you take a pair of fake shoes you don't know where and sue us for infringement, it will slander and slander us, and it will have a negative impact on our reputation. We will also reserve the right to sue!

Fake shoes? Ellis took the sneakers, looked at them carefully, and muttered to himself: This design, this workmanship, how can it be a pair of fake shoes!

Probably counterfeiters are more willing to pay for it! James Bond paused, then said: In fact, this is also normal. Many fake shoes from Nike and Adidas are of better quality than real shoes!

And this design, how can fake shoes have such a trendy design! Ellis continued.

Nonsense, this is my design, can it not be trendy! James Bond secretly thought.

However, he opened his mouth and said; The design of sneakers is an art, how can art be true or false!

The lawyer next to him leaned into Ellis' ear and said softly, Mr. Ellis, if this is a pair of fake shoes, then we have no way to sue Feiyue Sports for infringement. We should sue the manufacturer of the fake shoes!

Fake shoe makers? The hell knows where they are! Ellis muttered to himself.

...

In the mouths of public officials, it is a crime to sell fake goods in the United States, and you will be imprisoned for several years, so there are no fake goods in the United States.

In fact, the United States is full of fakes. As the world's largest consumer country, it is pure nonsense to say that there are no fakes!

Well-known people often post pictures or videos of American supermarkets, saying that fake goods cannot be bought in American supermarkets. Isn’t this nonsense!

Chinese supermarkets are also directly supplied by manufacturers or agents, and there are no fakes.

Counterfeit and shoddy goods in China are found in small shops in rural or remote areas, in rural markets, or on some street stalls.

Such as Lei Bi drinks, big walnuts, Yueli Yue biscuits, Zhouzhu brand washing powder, Zhizhi melon seeds, etc., are often seen in rural fairs, and even Zhouzhu's transparent soap is more expensive than the carved brand.

But in those big regular supermarkets, you definitely won't see Rebi drinks and big walnuts.

Although there is something like Tukeng Pickled Cabbage Instant Noodles, but that thing is just not up to the standard of hygiene, and the goods are still genuine from the original factory.

To put it another way, if the big supermarkets dare to sell fake products, those professional counterfeiters are enough for the supermarket to drink a pot.

The same is true in the United States. You can't buy fakes in big supermarkets, but not in other places.

For example, Manhattan, the most prosperous area in New York, there are various street stalls on the street, Prada with dozens of dollars on the street, donkeys with buy one get one free, Rolex sold by weight, can these be true?

What about selling fake goods and going to jail? The Manhattan police patrol the streets dozens of times a day. Is there any street vendor who sells fake goods? Maybe the New York police will also come forward to buy a copy of Richard Mille to play with!

In addition to street stalls, flea markets, which are very popular in the United States, are also the hardest hit areas for counterfeit trade.

In particular, fake sneakers often appear on flea markets as second-hand sneakers. In many flea markets on weekends, you can often buy some unopened classic basketball shoes at very cheap prices, all of which are fake shoes.

In addition, there are also small shops, second-hand goods stores, and private sales of counterfeit goods, which are also channels for selling counterfeit goods. Later, after the Internet developed, such as some second-hand websites and some forums, it also became a way to sell guys.

Not to mention others, Phil Knight, the founder of Nike, started his business by selling Japanese knockoff sneakers in his garage.

Therefore, those who say that there are no fakes in the United States are purely to fool the Chinese, and then they can take money from the CIA.

Taking sneakers as an example, U.S. Customs seizes about 300,000 to 500,000 pairs of counterfeit shoes a year, and the value of the counterfeit shoes cracked every year is as high as hundreds of millions of dollars.

The seized, only a small part of the fake shoes, most of which were not seized, all flowed into the private sector.

Americans often say that China sold fake goods to the United States, but according to the logic of capitalism, the market determines supply and demand, and supply and demand determine production. If there are not enough people in the United States to consume fake goods, how can Chinese companies go Production?

It is difficult to eradicate fake goods, mainly because there is market demand.

In the United States, market demand is greater than everything. As long as there is market demand, pornography, gambling and drugs can be legally supplied.

...

What Ellis didn't expect was that a second fake shoe appeared on the market not long after.

It is still sticking to the Leaping Logo, still using the technology of Tianzu, and it is still very fashionable and beautiful.

Mr. Ellis, I'm sorry to tell you that this is also a pair of fake shoes. We have never produced these shoes at Feiyue Sports! James Bond is still calm.

I know, I went to your store to see it, and there is indeed no such shoe! Ellis snorted coldly, and then asked; But if someone fakes your brand, are you indifferent!

James Bond immediately put on a look of righteous indignation and said: We strongly condemn this immoral behavior!

And then what? Ellis asked.

Then? No then. James Bond shook his head with a dull look.

When others use your brand to make fake basketball shoes, you just denounce them? Ellis widened his eyes.

It is a strong condemnation! It expresses the indignation in our hearts. James Bond took the word strong very seriously.

There's no indignation in your appearance! Ellis scolded inwardly, and then continued; These counterfeiters have violated your brand and profited from it. Don't you have any substantive actions? For example, broadcasting to Buddha. report?

Mr. Ellis, you must know that we no longer produce sneakers in the United States, and our sneaker production has been outsourced to other countries, so these fake shoes are also produced in other countries. Since the counterfeiters are in foreign countries , I don't think Buddha can do anything about it. James Bond replied calmly.

Even if the counterfeiters are abroad, the sellers are always in the United States! Shouldn't these counterfeiters be punished? Ellis said immediately.

Nine times out of ten those who sell fake shoes are relatively poor people who can't find serious jobs, so they sell fake shoes. Based on humanitarian considerations, we really can't bear to ruin these people's jobs! James Bond put on a pitiful look.

Humanitarianism? To those who sell fake goods, we also need to talk about humanitarianism! Where is the law? Ellis said with a bad face.

I also know that the rule of law should be upheld, and those lawbreakers should not be spared, but I can't give up the kindness in my heart! James Bond said, I am a kind person.

James Bond pretends to be a sheep and puts himself on the moral high ground, and Ellis really has no tricks.

Just listening to James Bond continued: Mr. Ellis, this pair of shoes also uses natural foot technology? Isn't that infringing your patent rights, I think you can also take action to defend your rights!

If I have a way to defend my rights, do I still need to come to you? Ellis thought to himself.

In the U.S. market, fake shoes worth hundreds of millions of dollars are circulating every year, and big companies like Nike and Adidas can’t ban them. What can Ellis use to defend his rights!

James Bond continued; The protection of intellectual property rights has always been very troublesome. If Mr. Ellis is willing to reduce the patent licensing fee and authorize the Tianzu patent to us, then we will have an agreement. Interests and rights protection can be left to us to do.”

Elliston felt that something was wrong. You were still talking about my kindness just now, UU reading www. Why did uukanshu.com want to defend its rights again? As long as I am willing to lower the price, then the kindness will be gone? Don't talk about humanitarianism?

James Bond continued; Mr. Ellis, you hope that the Tianzu patent can sell for a good price, I can understand that. But the situation is that Tianzu fake shoes have appeared, maybe in the future There will be more and more.

If you are still unwilling to give in, then the fake shoes of Tianzu technology will flood the entire North American market. At that time, consumers who want Tianzu will buy fake shoes. Who will buy real shoes?

What's more, you have also seen that these fake shoes can be compared to real shoes in terms of design and quality. If fake shoes become a scale, then the people who make fake shoes will also make a lot of money!

Ellis is greedy, but he is not a fool. At this time, he has some aftertastes.

He looked at the trendy design of the pair of fake shoes again, which was completely the style of Feiyue Sports.

Ellis made a bold guess in his heart: Could it be that these fake shoes are all the ghosts of Feiyue Sports!
