Chapter 653 I am a kind person
Boss Huang was stunned by Li Weidong's question. What is the boss of a big sports brand looking for to sell fake shoes?
After thinking for a while, Boss Huang said, I'm just an OEM, so I don't know anyone who sells fake shoes!
Boss Huang, are you bluffing me? You have been in this business for so many years, how could you not know someone who sells fake shoes? Li Weidong said with a smile.
Chairman Li, is there someone who has no eyesight and made your Feiyue's fake shoes and sold them? Boss Huang asked tentatively.
If there are no fake shoes, wouldn't our Feiyue shoes be too unrecognizable! Li Weidong said.
Although Feiyue's fake shoes are not as many as Nike and Adidas, there are still some on the market. Among other things, Kobe, Tracy McGrady, Carter and other stars are so popular that their several signature sneakers all have counterfeit shoes.
For big brand basketball shoes, fakes are unavoidable. Unless Feiyue Sports lowers the price of real shoes to the same level 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 formed an industrial chain, and it is almost impossible to eradicate them. If you catch one today, there will be others If you do it, it can be said that the wildfire will never burn out, and it will be born again when the spring breeze blows!
I understand what you said. These are all considerable facts. Li Weidong continued: However, when I am looking for counterfeit shoes, I am not trying to settle accounts with them, but to ask them to do something.
Aren't you here to settle accounts? Boss Huang was taken aback again.
Li Weidong went on to say: Those who sell fake shoes, how much money they can make all year round, I, Li Weidong, don't know how I can get along with a fake shoe seller!
Chairman Li, don't underestimate those who sell fake shoes, especially those who have channels to smuggle shoes to the United States. They earn several times more money than me! Boss Huang said.
Yes, this is what I want. There are channels to sell fake shoes to the United States! Li Weidong continued; Boss Huang, please help me arrange a dinner, I have a deal to discuss.
Okay, since you need it, I'll ask someone through my relationship. Boss Huang replied.
After all, Boss Huang still counted on Li Weidong to provide orders, so he naturally had to agree 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' hands, and asked, Is there anything worth celebrating?
My lawsuit with Adidas is coming to an end, so it's worth celebrating. Ellis continued with a smug smile:
Adidas still wants to bypass my patent and apply for a Tianzu patent! What a daydream! Without my patent authorization, Adidas will never want to use Tianzu again!
The wife was stunned for a few seconds, and 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 celebrating, signing a big contract with Feiyue! The wife replied.
The contract with Feiyue is still being negotiated! The specific conditions have not yet been negotiated. Feiyue is willing to give me a sales share, but there is a big difference between us about the proportion of the share. I want 50%, but they are only willing to give 25 percent, Ellis replied.
Is that so? Are you sure you haven't reached a deal with Feiyue? There was distrust in his wife's tone.
Why, dear, don't you believe me? Ellis retorted.
The wife snorted coldly and said, My son just bought a pair of Feiyue sneakers, using 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 yet, how can they use the natural technology! Ellis was shocked, and then asked; Where are those sneakers?
On the son's feet! answered the wife.
Without saying a word, Ellis hurried to find his son, and then he saw the new pair of basketball shoes.
It's really a natural foot! Ellis recognized it at a glance, the natural foot technology used on the sneakers.
In order to meet the ergonomic barefoot effect, Tianzu 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 them, and judging from the rather trendy appearance design of the sneakers, it was also in line with the style of Feiyue sneakers.
The positioning of Feiyue basketball shoes has always been more trendy, and this is also because James Bond was born as a trendy designer.
In contrast, the sneakers of Nike and Adidas are more traditional. After all, the main designers of this old brand have been in the industry for decades, and their understanding of trends is much weaker.
The next second, Ellis was furious.
I haven't licensed Tianzu's patent to Feiyue Sports, and they have launched sneakers with Tianzu technology. This is an infringement! If this is the case, don't blame me for being rude, and don't pay me a lot of money , I will never let it go!
...
The next day, Ellis and James Bond were at the negotiating table again.
Mr. Ellis, the 50% profit dividend you proposed before is too high, and we really can't afford it. James Bond paused, and then said:
You must know that in the entire production and sales process of the product, all the costs are borne by us, and you only need to pay for a patent license. It is too exaggerated to take 50% of the profits for a patent license.
But Ellis said, Mr. Bond, I don't want to talk about this issue today!
Don't talk about this? James Bond showed a puzzled look, and then asked; Then what are we talking about today?
I think we should talk about infringement 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 immediately showed an expression of extreme surprise.
Mr. Ellis, where did you get these shoes? James Bond asked.
It's not important! What's important is that these shoes use Tianzu's technology. This is my patent. If you use my patent without my authorization, it has constituted infringement. I have the right to claim compensation !” Ellis said coldly.
James Bond looked unhurried, and 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 infringed the rights and said that 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.
There's your logo on it, it's 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 Feiyue Sports has never produced this kind of sneakers. This is not our product. This is a pair of shoes. Fake shoes!
How do you explain the logo on it! Ellis asked immediately.
There are so many cars out there in the parking lot, 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 you definitely didn't buy them 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 specialty store to check. As for why there is our Feiyue Logo on it, it is probably to counterfeit our brand.
If you sue us for infringement with a pair of fake shoes that you don’t know where you got it, it will be a slander and libel to us, which will have a negative impact on our reputation, and 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 could it be a pair of fake shoes!
Probably the counterfeiters are more willing to pay for it! James Bond paused, and then said: Actually, this is quite normal. Many fake shoes from Nike and Adidas are of better quality than the real ones!
And this design, how can fake shoes have such a trendy design! Ellis continued.
Nonsense, this is my design, can it be trendy! James Bond thought to himself.
However, he opened his mouth and said; The design of sneakers is a kind of art, and there is no difference between true and false art!
The lawyer next to Ellis leaned into Ellis's ear and said softly, Mr. Ellis, if these are fake shoes, then we have no way to sue Feiyue Sports for infringement. We should sue the manufacturer of the fake shoes!
Fake shoemakers? Who knows where they are! Ellis said to himself.
...
In the mouths of public intellectuals, selling fake products in the United States is a crime, and you will be imprisoned for several years, so there are no fake products in the United States.
In fact, there are fakes everywhere in the United States. As the world's largest consumer country, it is pure nonsense to say that there are no fakes!
Public intellectuals often post pictures or videos of American supermarkets, saying that fakes cannot be bought in American supermarkets. Isn’t this nonsense!
Chinese supermarkets also supply directly from manufacturers or agents, and there are no fakes.
China's counterfeit and shoddy goods are all sold in small shops in rural or remote areas, in rural markets, or on some street stalls.
Such as Leibi drink, big walnuts, Yueliyue biscuits, Zhouzhu brand washing powder, Zhizhi melon seeds, etc., are often seen in rural fairs, and Zhouzhu's transparent soap is even more expensive than Diao brand.
But in those regular big supermarkets, you definitely won't see Rebi drinks and big walnuts.
Although there are such things as Tuken pickled cabbage instant noodles, those things are just not up to the hygienic standard, and the goods are still genuine products from the original factory.
To put it another way, if big supermarkets dare to sell fakes, those professional counterfeiters are enough for the supermarket to drink a pot.
The situation in the United States is the same. You can't buy fakes in big supermarkets, but not necessarily in other places.
For example, in Manhattan, the most prosperous area in New York, there are various street stalls on the street, Prada with dozens of dollars on the street stalls, donkeys with buy one get one free, and Rolex sold by weight. Is it possible for these to be true?
What do you say that you will be jailed for selling counterfeit goods? The police in Manhattan patrol the streets dozens of times a day. Has any vendor selling counterfeit goods been arrested? Maybe the New York police will come forward and buy a fake Richard Mille for fun!
In addition to street stalls, flea markets, which are very popular in the United States, are also the hardest hit areas for the counterfeit trade.
In particular, things like fake sneakers often appear on the flea market as second-hand sneakers. In many flea markets on weekends, you can often buy some classic basketball shoes that have not been opened. The prices are very cheap, and they are all counterfeit shoes.
In addition, there are small shops, second-hand goods stores, and private counterfeit sellers, which are also channels for selling counterfeit goods. Later, after the development of the Internet, some second-hand websites, and some forums, have also become the way to sell guys.
Not to mention others, the founder of Nike, Phil Knight, started out selling Japanese knockoff sneakers in his garage.
So those who say that there are no fakes in the United States are purely to fool the Chinese people, and then they can get money from the CIA.
Taking sneakers as an example, the U.S. Customs seizes about 300,000 to 500,000 pairs of fake shoes a year, and the value of the fake shoes seized every year is as high as hundreds of millions of dollars.
The seized fake shoes accounted for only a small part of the fake shoes, and most of them were not seized, and they all flowed into the private sector.
Americans often say that China sells fakes 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 fakes, then how can Chinese companies sell them? Production?
Fake goods are difficult to eradicate, mainly because there is market demand.
In the United States, however, market demand trumps everything else. As long as there is market demand, pornography, gambling and drugs can be legalized and supplied.
...
What Ellis didn't expect was that a second fake shoe appeared on the market not long after.
It still sticks the Feiyue logo, still uses the technology of Tianzu, and it is still very trendy and beautiful.
Mr. Ellis, I regret to tell you that these are also a pair of fake shoes. We Feiyue Sports have never produced these shoes! James Bond still looked calm.
I know, I've checked in your specialty store, and it's true that you don't have this type of shoes! Ellis snorted coldly, and then asked; But someone fakes your brand, don't you think you're indifferent!
James Bond immediately put on a look of righteous indignation, and said, We Feiyue Sports strongly condemn this immoral behavior!
And then? Ellis asked.
And then? No more. James Bond shook his head with a cute face.
Other people use your brand to make fake basketball shoes, and you just condemn them? Ellis' eyes widened.
It is a strong condemnation! This expresses the indignation in our hearts. James Bond said the word strong very strongly.
You look so indignant! Ellis cursed secretly, and then continued; These counterfeiters have violated your brand and made profits from it. Don't you have any substantive actions? For example, broadcasting to Buddha report?
Mr. Ellis, you have to 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.
Those who sell fake shoes are mostly poor people who can't find a decent job, so they sell fake shoes. Based on humanitarian considerations, we really can't bear to ruin the jobs of these people! James Bond put on a look of compassion.
Humanitarianism? When dealing with counterfeit goods, we must also emphasize humanitarianism! Where is the law? Ellis said with an unfriendly expression.
I also know that the rule of law should be upheld and those lawbreakers should not be let go, 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 little sheep and puts himself on the moral high ground, but Ellis really can't do it.
I only heard James Bond continue to say: Mr. Ellis, this pair of shoes also uses natural foot technology, right? Doesn't that infringe on 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 need to come to you? Ellis thought to himself.
In the U.S. market, fake shoes worth hundreds of millions of dollars are in circulation every year. Big companies like Nike and Adidas can’t stop them. How can Ellis defend his rights!
James Bond continued; The protection of intellectual property rights has always been very troublesome. If Mr. Ellis is willing to lower the patent licensing fee and license Tianzu's patents to us, then we will have a consistent agreement. Interests and rights protection can be entrusted to us.”
Ellis suddenly felt something was wrong. You were still talking about my kindness just now. Why did you change the subject and want to defend your rights again? As long as I am willing to lower the price, then kindness is not necessary? Don't talk about humanitarianism?
James Bond continued: Mr. Ellis, you hope that the Tianzu patent can be sold for a good price. I can understand this. But the current situation is that the fake shoes of Tianzu have already appeared, maybe in the future There will be more and more.
If you still refuse to give in, then the fake shoes of Tianzu technology will flood the entire North American market. By then, 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 the fake shoes become a scale, then the people who make the fake shoes will also make a lot of money!
Ellis was greedy, but not a fool, and by this time he had come to his senses.
He took another look at the trendy design of the pair of fake shoes, which was completely in the style of Feiyue Sports.
Ellis had a bold guess in his mind: Could it be that these fake shoes are all made by Feiyue Sports!
