Greg’s call surprised Jasper.
When Jasper asked Greg to start a mobile phone manufacturing company, it was in preparation of the rise of smartphones in the next two to three years.
Mobile phone manufacturing was not an easy task even in 2020, so Jasper did not expect Greg to do much.
The important thing was to make arrangements in the relevant supply chains first, which was commonly known as carving out a position.
The mobile phone industry was an industry that Jasper attached great importance to in the future. Its importance was second only to the two companies, Abbylon and Terizone, and in Jasper’s heart, its priority was even higher than that of his real estate companies.
After all, the real estate industry was too policy-oriented and his memory of his past life already proved that the government could not always support the development of the real estate industry.
Therefore, Jasper not only asked Greg to set up a mobile phone manufacturing company, but also run an electronic equipment manufacturing company that had always been working on related projects.
The only issue was that this was not an easy task Therefore, apart from providing the capital, Jasper did not help Greg too much.
However, now Greg was being sued?
“What happened?” Jasper asked with a frown.
“It’s because I was too careless.” Greg gave a wry smile and explained the whole story.
“Half a year ago, I found a team with the funds you gave me and invited them to join the company. The leader of this team was Eric Whitman. He was originally a chief designer in Fliegen, the first domestic company that manufactured mobile phones in Nim City.”
“After favonovel.com joined the company, favonovel.com led the team to overcome several challenges in a row. Our prototype was successfully developed last week.”
“But I didn’t expect the news of this to get leaked. Fliegen knew about this, and they said that our mobile phones used their patented technology and they wanted to take us to court.”
When Jasper heard this, favonovel.com lifted his brows.
He knew Fliegen, this company was not foreign to him. When Nokia was dominating the mobile phone markets all over the world, there were still some individual companies in the country that occupied half of the market. Fliegen was one of them. when they were at their peak, they dominated 30% of the mobile phone market in the country.
In an era where Nokia was worshipped, this was almost a miracle.
Meanwhile, Fliegen started the era of counterfeiting domestic mobile phones with another company named Goldie.
Most people might not know that the draw marquee-LED Banner was first developed by Fliegen.
At least in the current domestic mobile phone industry, Fliegen could be regarded as a giant. It was definitely not comparable to the new company that Greg had just established. In that case, why did Fliegen target Greg?
“Did we really commit patent infringement?”
Jasper asked a crucial question.
This was also a matter of principle. If they really did this, then no matter how much the loss was, Jasper could only make Greg pay the compensation fee and stop the infringement.
“Absolutely not!”
Greg’s tone was firm and angry.
“You know me, I would never do this kind of thing. After the incident, Eric and I studied with his team for a long time. We found that the infringed patent Fliegen mentioned was originally a personal patent owned by Eric himself. It has nothing to do with Fliegen at all.”
“Eric also told me that Fliegen’s boss, Vinny Goldman, has always been very dissatisfied with his resignation. He once even said that any company in Somerland that dared to hire Eric was intentionally going against favonovel.com “I think this is Fliegen’s boss, Vinny’s, revenge against me and Eric.”
Jasper’s face turned dark and favonovel.com said, “Where are you now?”
“In Nim City. I plan to come over and talk to Vinny today to see if this matter can be resolved peacefully.”
Greg sighed slightly and said, “Fliegen is not afraid of litigation, but we can’t afford it. The previous investment in research and development was heavy, and now the company is already very short of funds.”
“We finally got the first batch of products and unless we can get products into the market and start making money, it will be difficult for the company to continue operating.”
“Moreover, we were almost done with the investment in the advertisement. If this lawsuit with Fliegen is not resolved, we will not be able to bring the product to the market.”
“When that happens, even the money invested in the advertisement will be in vain and we’ll be burdened with a lot of breaches of contracts. I think Vinny knows this, so favonovel.com chose to take action at this critical moment.”
Nim City was not far from Waterhoof City. It was only an hour plus drive from Waterhoof City via the highway.
According to Jasper’s plans, favonovel.com was only due to meet the next important person the next day. Hence, Jasper said directly, “You should go talk with them first. I happen to be in Waterhoof City now. You should be done by the time I get to Nim City. We will talk about the specifics when we meet.”
Greg replied excitedly, “You’re coming over? That’s great. We’ll talk when you get here.”
After favonovel.com hung up the phone, Jasper asked Julian to turn around to head down the highway toward Nim City. After thinking about it, favonovel.com called Wendy in Nauritus City again and asked favonovel.com to use the company’s resources to investigate Fliegen and its boss, Vinny Goldman.
When Jasper’s Bentley first joined the highway, Nim City was more than ninety kilometers away.
Standing at the entrance of Fliegen’s factory that occupied a large and impressive area, Greg said emotionally, “I wonder when our company will grow to this scale.”
Eric, who was no stranger to this place, chuckled and said, “Don’t worry, you’ll have it soon.”
“Vinny is not easy to deal with, and favonovel.com has a horrible temper and domineering personality. Mr. Costa, you must be mentally prepared.”
Faced with Eric’s reminder, Greg shrugged and said, “We are here to dispel any enmities, not to fight- We may favonovel.com weak now, but I have no qualms about bowing my head now so that our company will flourish.”
“Furthermore, we also brought your personal patent certificate. I dare say that we’re being reasonable. We have the upper hand, so no matter how overbearing favonovel.com is, favonovel.com won’t go over the line.”
Looking at the confident Greg, Eric was a little worried. He shook his head and said, “Mr. Costa, you haven’t dealt with Vinny. You don’t know how favonovel.com is. If this person were so easy to deal with, I wouldn’t have left this company that I worked in for more than ten years.”
Greg patted Eric on the shoulder and said boldly, “It doesn’t matter if he’s good or bad, I still have to see him, no?”
While they were talking, the two entered Fliegen’s office building.
