Chapter 873 Trademark

Hanwang Technology once developed fixed-line products in 2004, launched models such as "e-phone" and "i-phone", and applied for registration of the "i-phone" trademark, and the registered trademark categories include mobile phones.

This is the origin of its handheld Apple mobile phone trademark.

This year, Apple paid attention to the global market and found that iPhone and i-phone could not be registered because of similar trademarks, which led to Liu Yingjian's "Apple wants to buy".

As for why the head of Hanwang came out to help at this time, according to his own interview...

"I didn't pay attention to Yike's mobile phone before, until I went abroad in December and saw many young people using it. I also bought one myself. It is really good! It is indeed a product that changes the industry!"

"Yike Company is very good. It can go abroad and compete with international manufacturers. I admire and respect it very much."

"Although I have never met Mr. Fang, I know that Mr. Fang is a man of great talent and good character."

When Fang Zhuo saw the complete interview content of Liu Yingjian in the media, he couldn't help but admire it.

Talking about products and companies, it's easy.

Mars' sales volume is there, and Yike's competitiveness is there, which is clear at a glance.

Only by really perceiving a person's character from the subtleties can one see his true skills.

He is indeed a business veteran.

It is already New Year's Eve, and Fang Zhuo cannot find any media to imitate public communication at this time, but he cannot solve it quietly in private - people make such public statements, how can they end it secretly.

Fortunately, Sina Weibo is a more suitable public platform.

"I have used Hanwang's handwriting system for a long time. Hanwang's pioneering spirit is admirable. It is a good time to visit Mr. Liu in the New Year, and then we can have tea and communicate and exchange what we have."

Although they have never dealt with each other, the other party shows goodwill, and this kind of relationship can quickly become familiar after meeting each other.

As for whether there is this interaction...

According to common sense, the trademark that Liu Yingjian is willing to transfer, Apple will have to spend several million dollars to solve this matter. This is a small trick for Fang Zhuo, but it is definitely worth a lot for Hanwang.

Fang Zhuo had no intention of making any concessions in this regard, but he would not refuse his friend's kindness, which could be used as a bargaining chip to discuss patents and other issues with Apple.

If Apple wants to enter the Chinese market, it must solve the trademark issue. It can of course directly discard the iPhone and rename it. Whether it wants to do so depends on future communication.

During the Spring Festival vigil, Fang Zhuo heard the voice of "Yike Mobile Phones Greeting Chinese People Around the World" at midnight on the Spring Festival Gala, which also symbolized the launch of Yike's domestic company publicity and promotion activities.

After the daily holiday greetings with the big guys from all sides, he received a greeting call from Liu Yingjian, the head of Hanwang Technology, on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

The Chinese New Year is a natural and smooth node for emotional contact. Fang Zhuo said he would visit the other party in Beijing, while Liu Yingjian would come to Shanghai.

Although the current business performance is quite different, Fang Zhuo is conscious of holding Jin Huaiyu, and he is unwilling to let the business veteran come to his place during the Chinese New Year. However, Liu Yingjian used a reason to convince him.

"Mr. Fang, you're welcome. I'm going to visit relatives in Shanghai. Even if you don't say so, I'll go to your place." Liu Yingjian was very generous.

Visiting relatives... People are going to visit relatives in Shanghai during the Spring Festival. What's there to refuse?

Fang Zhuo naturally agreed enthusiastically and made an appointment to invite Senior Liu for tea on the morning of the third day of the Chinese New Year.

This phone call made him have a good impression of this new friend.

Two days before the Chinese New Year, in addition to lamenting that the children he met last year were growing up well, Fang Zhuo was also asked a question by his family. It's time to consider the issue of children - even if, as Su Wei said, she thinks it's troublesome to discuss shares, company control, and huge assets, and marriage is just a formality, then when you are old enough to have children, you can't always be busy with work, right?

This year's Spring Festival is the same as last year, with the two families gathering together.

Fang Zhuo was asked directly by his parents, and was also asked tactfully by Weiwei's parents.

He talked about this issue with Weiwei on the night of the second day of the Chinese New Year.

Facing Fang Zhuo's careful discussion, Su Wei expressed her attitude directly: "Let's talk about it after we make Yiguo a success."

"What do you mean by success?" Fang Zhuo asked.

"It means that Taobao will be impressed. But Yiguo has President Su, so it's a success." Su Wei set the standard.

Fang Zhuo was very dissatisfied with this answer. After gaining control over Wei Wei, he pretended to be angry and said: "You are just perfunctory to me. It's just perfunctory to me."

"So what? What?" Su Wei remained calm in the face of danger.

Fang Zhuo could only choose... to have a wild time, a wild bed, a wild carpet, and a wild sofa.

Overall, he had a very happy Spring Festival. Mars was testing all kinds of heroes, and the acquisition list was waiting for Storm to try them one by one in the second half of the year. Bingxin would also welcome Liang Mengsong's official employment in August.

The only news that made people frown was from SMIC.

Zhang Rujing did not spend the New Year in China. He has been in the United States dealing with the entanglement with the Taiwan reporter.

However, during Fang Zhuo's New Year's greeting call, Zhang Rujing talked about the Alameda County Superior Court's handling of the case, which was not ideal, and the process was relatively fast. Recently, there was news that the reporter continued to appeal to the ITC.

Fang Zhuo asked what the worst outcome would be.

Zhang Rujing did not answer this question for a long time.

This silence alone is enough to prove that it is not good.

Fang Zhuo could only comfort the other party. Zhongxin had been so difficult to pull up in the past, and today is just another challenge.

After hanging up the phone, he thought silently in the study for a long time. After thinking about it, he could not find a good solution. He could only hope that Bingxin could continue to move forward firmly.

At 9:30 am on the third day of the Chinese New Year, Fang Zhuo received Liu Yingjian and his party at the hotel.

As soon as they met, Liu Yingjian praised Yike's achievements and told him the reason why he bought Mars abroad.

"Mr. Fang, my son is a loyal fan of yours. He wants to play your speeches, minority, and self-reform on his mobile phone in a loop." Liu Yingjian introduced his son Liu Qiutong who came with him.

Fang Zhuo was a little surprised. He looked at Mr. Liu's son who seemed a little shy. He was very handsome and looked like he was fifteen or sixteen years old.

"He is studying in the United States now. I said that he will go to college in the future and come back to China to take over my job after graduation. Mr. Fang, guess what he said?" Liu Yingjian asked with a smile.

Seeing this situation, Fang Zhuo just thought about it and smiled: "What's the point of taking over? That's what the majority does. It's better to come to Yike and be a minority who changes the industry."

Liu Yingjian laughed. This is indeed the correct answer.

Several people sat down and laughed.

"Mr. Fang, Apple has contacted me twice, but I didn't agree. Today I happened to come to Shanghai. I thought it would be better to do it on the same day, so I brought the trademark transfer agreement." Liu Yingjian was straightforward. After a brief chat with the children, he took out several documents with stamps from his bag.

Fang Zhuo was surprised. The relationship was not even warm yet, how could this happen.

He glanced at the document and said with a smile: "Boss Liu, the trademark was applied by Hanwang. To be honest, it is indeed useful to Yike. I am very grateful that you are willing to transfer it. No matter how much Apple offers, I will add another two million dollars."

Liu Yingjian pretended to be unhappy and wanted to put the pen into Boss Fang's hand: "Boss Fang, I am speaking the truth. You don't think I am holding this thing to wait for a price. If you say it is a free transfer, it is free. If you mention the word money again today, I can only turn around and leave."

Fang Zhuo pondered. The old senior was so straightforward. It would be embarrassing if he didn't take out the goods in his stomach.
