Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

Tokyo is located on the east coast of the island country, and the climate is a typical subtropical marine monsoon climate. November and December are the time of heavy rainfall.

Yesterday, the sky in Tokyo was still blue, but today it was cloudy, and it looked like it was about to rain heavily. The atmosphere in the whole city was a little depressed, and the pedestrians on the street hurried to their homes.

The outside world was cloudy, and the Aiga family hall was no different.

At this time, Saga Kanghei, Saga Ichiro, and Saga Suzutaro were kneeling on the tatami, looking at the subpoena on the table with the red seal of the Tokyo Tribunal. breath.

After a long time, Xianghe Kangping, the head of the family, broke the repressed silence: "Jiuding Animation has really appealed, and there is no way out. What do you think?"

Aiga Suzutaro, who originally did not agree with the strong suppression, moved his lips slightly, but in the end he did not speak, sighed slightly, and turned his attention to Aiga Ichiro, who had previously strongly suppressed Jiuding Anime.

Although they are all in the same family, the responsibilities must be clearly distinguished. The main responsibility for this matter is not his, and he has no other way, so don't take the lead and let someone "more capable" take the lead!

Aiga Ichiro withdrew his absent-minded gaze from the summons, and subconsciously looked at the two of Aiga Kangping, but found that both of them were looking straight at him. He suddenly felt that there was a mountain on his back, which made him unable to breathe.

"Cuckoo..."

Aiga Ichiro took a deep breath, clenched his teeth tightly, made a terrifying grinding noise, and bulged his temples on both sides. It was obvious that he was very angry at this time.

But no matter how much anger, in the end, it was still covering up the panic in his heart.

One wrong step, one wrong step, until it has evolved to the point where it cannot end. If I had known this earlier, Ichiro Sagaga would never have copied it so obviously. I should spend more effort on research and plagiarize the essence of the comics, instead of making them. Similar outlines and settings, etc.

But this is the end, no amount of regret is useless.

Faced with a dilemma, smart people will only try to solve the problem as soon as possible.

Aiga Ichiro is naturally a wise man, so he immediately cleared his regrets and pondered.

As time passed by, Aika Ichiro raised his brows slightly, and said to Aika and Kangping: "The only way now will be to use a patent, as long as the patent is applied, black can become white, and a lawsuit will also be a problem. Useless!"

Xianghe Kangping took a deep breath and could only agree. He thought about it and asked, "Which stage is the patent application at? Has Nakaharu Tsuofu replied, and when is the earliest time to complete the application approval process?"

Aiga Ichiro replied immediately: "I already asked him when I came, and now there are only the last few approval processes left. If we speed up the progress, as long as there are no accidents in the middle, the patent can be applied for within five days at most!"

As soon as these words came out, Xianghe Kangping felt a little nervous, five days was too rushed, of course, Xianghe Kangping was not without the enthusiasm of the Tokyo Tribunal, which made them so passive.

In the previous normal work, the Tokyo Tribunal was not so active.

According to the laws of the island country, under normal circumstances, after the tribunal (that is, the court, the island country is called the tribunal) accepts the case, the defendant must be served with a summons within one week.

But what makes Xiangga Kangping feel sick is that it should be influenced by public opinion. This time, the Tokyo Tribunal's speed is astonishing. It only accepted the case during the day, and served the summons to them that day.

It was only a few hours after they learned that Jiuding Animation had filed a lawsuit, and the summons was sent. They had no time to prepare, and they were caught off guard.

The law of the island country stipulates that the trial period of a case and the summons are issued within the trial period, of which the longest is three months for summary procedures and six months for ordinary procedures.

However, the Tokyo Tribunal directly wrote on the subpoena, using an ultra-short time limit, and the court will be held in five days!

The time is too tight!

It was just about the time to get the patent, or five days if nothing else happened.

What if there is an accident?

Xiangga Kangping was very uneasy in his heart, he thought about it for a while, and said to Xiangga Ichiro: "Ichiro, the court session will be held in five days, the time is too short, you should hurry up to urge Zhongchun Zuofu, be sure to approve it within three days, it needs to be approved. Whatever the price, we will pay!"

"Yes!"

Aiga Ichiro nodded heavily, his expression very serious.

At this moment, Sagaga Kangping saw Saga Suzutaro, who had been silent, and found that he frowned and fell into deep thought, as if he was troubled by something.

Xiangga Kangping asked with concern: "Suzutaro, what's the matter with you?"

Xiangga Lingtaro raised his head, looked at Xiangga Kangping, then looked at Xiangga Ichiro, and said quietly, "I can't figure it out, I always feel that something is wrong."

"What's wrong?"

Xiangga Ichiro asked quickly, and Xiangga Kangping also looked at him with burning eyes.

Aiga Suzutaro shook his head in distress and said, "After our press conference, Jiuding Animation should know that our patent is being applied for, why are they indifferent? Isn't it strange?"

Hearing this question, Xiangga Ichiro and Xianghe Kangping woke up suddenly.

Aiga Ichiro seemed to be building up a firm belief in himself, but he frowned and said to himself: "It's definitely not a problem, I asked Nakaharu Tsao, Jiuding Animation has not submitted any patent applications, It is impossible for them to come up with the patent of the island country, absolutely impossible!"

"sure?"

Xiangga Kangping said a little worriedly.

Aiga Ichiro nodded without hesitation and said, "I'm quite sure, I asked Nakaharu Zao again and again, and he asked him to check all the patents related to publishing and comics this year, and none of them match!"

"That's why we think too much, Suzutaro, don't worry."

Seeing Aiga Ichiro's confirmation, Aiga Kangping let out a sigh of relief and said to Aiga Suzutaro with a smile.

But Saga Suzutaro was unmoved, still frowning, still feeling confused.

"No, no, since Jiuding Animation dares to continue to open stores, and dare to take the initiative to file a lawsuit with the Tokyo Tribunal, they absolutely have the belief that they will win, so they must have sufficient evidence to prove their copyright and believe that they can win the lawsuit."

"Thinking from another perspective, if I am Ma Tengdong, if we apply for an island country's patent, what card is more useful than an island country's patent?"

Thinking of this, a flash of lightning flashed through the alarm clock of Xiangga Suzutaro, and he blurted out: "International patent?!"

"What international patent?"

Hearing the words that Aiga Suzutaro blurted out, Aiga Ichiro was taken aback by his sudden action, and he repeated it subconsciously before he could react.

But immediately, he reacted, his expression changed suddenly, and he said in disbelief: "An international patent registered in the United States?"

"Probably not. The people of Xiangjiang have a very weak patent awareness, especially in the comics industry, which belongs to cultural copyright. It would be good for them to register the patents of Xiangjiang. Why would they spend so much thought and energy to register international patents?"

Aiga Ichiro said skeptically, but these words are more used to cheer himself up, and he has no confidence in what he says.

"It's hard to say!"

"If Jiuding Animation really has an international patent, then even if we have an island country patent, it will be invalid."

Saga Suzutaro said with a solemn expression, and stabbed Saga Ichiro again.

"But it's not right, if Jiuding Animation has an international patent, the patent office of the island country will never approve our patent application. It is impossible for Nakaharu Tsuofu to remind us that no matter how much money you give him, he will not have the courage to do it! "

Aiga Ichiro retorted, subconsciously not wanting this to happen in his mind.

"This……"

Aiga Suzutaro was at a loss for words.

Xiangga Kangping couldn't stand it anymore, so he directly interrupted the debate between the two and said impatiently: "Don't argue, we definitely don't know about international patents and island patents, Ichiro, you are calling Zhongchun Zuo now. Husband, ask him this question clearly."

"OK!"

Aiga Ichiro dropped two words, immediately got up and came to the table, picked up the phone and dialed a number to go out.

While waiting, Aiga Ichiro had a feeling of living like a year.

It didn't take long for the call to connect, and the voice of Nakaharu Tsao came from the receiver. Ichiro Sagara said bluntly, "Nakaharu-kun, I am Ichiro Sagara, I have an urgent matter to ask you about."

"Can you be sure whether the four comics "Dragon Ball", "One Piece", "Pokemon" and "Douluo Continent" have registered international patents?"

...

"What? You're not sure? Why?"

...

"Okay, I know!"

After listening to Nakaharu Tsao's words on the other end of the phone, Aiga Ichiro's face suddenly darkened. He took a deep breath to suppress the unease and restlessness in his heart.

"Mr. Zhongchun, no matter what else, I will give you another 10 million yuan. Please help me to approve the patent within three days. I want to see the patent certificate."

"……it is good!"

"please!"

After speaking, Ichiro Agaga hung up the phone and returned to the tatami with a heavy heart.

"What did Nakaharu Tsov say?"

Xiangga Kangping asked quickly with concern.

"Zuo Nakaharu said that he helped us go to other departments to check international patents, but did not find any international patents related to "Dragon Ball"."

Just when Xiangga Kangping breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to ask Xiangga Ichiro why he was still so heavy, he was frightened by Xiangga Ichiro's words and raised his heart again.

"but!"

"Zuo Nakaharu also said that the international patent department in Washington is very slow in handling things in the United States, and it cannot connect international patents with other countries in time every time, so Nakaharu Zov told me that there must be a batch of international patents now. He has not connected with the patent office of the island country, and he is not sure if there are patents related to "Dragon Ball" in it!"

"He reminded me that the island country has signed the Patent Cooperation Treaty. If there is a corresponding international patent, then the international patent shall prevail. Even if the island country's patent office approves it for us, it will be invalid!"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room instantly cooled down.

Whether or not there is an international patent, now only the international patent department and Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. know, not even the patent office of the island country, it is even more impossible for them to know.

Now we can only hope that there is no so-called international patent, otherwise they will lose the last card of resistance, and they will definitely lose in a mess!

In the end, it was Xianghe Kangping, the head of the family, who made the decision. He gritted his teeth and said, "Whether there is or not, this is not something we can control. We can only hope that there is no international patent, and then get the island country patent and talk about it!"

After speaking, Xianghe Kangping was silent for a while, and then slowly said:

"But we have to prepare for the worst. If we fail, our stock price will definitely plummet with the current situation of public opinion! Be prepared..."

Both Saga Ichiro and Saga Suzutaro nodded solemnly, and even Saga Ichiro didn't know what else to say for a while.

...

As the saying goes, the person who knows you best is not yourself, but your enemy.

As the only super giant in the publishing and comics industry in the island country, the Otowa Group and the Hitotsubashi Group have fought against each other many times, and they have long known the Hitotsubashi Group well.

During the internal discussions of the Xiangga family, the Otowa Group also received the news that Jiuding Animation sued the Hitotsubashi Group, and then urgently held a secret board meeting.

Although the Otowa Group is similar in strength to the Hitotsubashi Group, the management structure of the group is completely different from that of the Hitotsubashi Group.

The Hitotsubashi Group can be said to be a family-owned company. It was founded by the Aga family and was the only one until its listing. It has always carried out the will of the Aga family.

However, the Otowa Group is different. It is a public enterprise with multiple shareholders, and the majority shareholder's equity does not exceed that of other shareholders. The management of the group is selected by the board of directors based on a combination of capabilities and relationships.

Relatively speaking, the management ability of the Otowa Group is stronger than that of the Hitotsubashi Group, so it was able to catch up step by step even though it was far behind at the beginning, and even made Kodansha the number one publishing house in the island country.

At this time, the chairman of the Otoyu Group was Chai Yuyuta, who was not the founder of the Music Group, but became the largest shareholder relying on capital.

In the small conference room of the Otoba Group, seven directors gathered together, Chai Shengxiong sat up too high and said to the other directors: "Everyone should know that Jiuding Animation has gone to the Tokyo Court to sue the Hitotsubashi Group, and the Tokyo Court has served it. Subpoena."

The second largest shareholder, Akihito Watanabe, who was sitting in second place, couldn't help but smile: "The Xiangga family has caused a lot of trouble, and it's going to be bad luck, haha!"

"Yes, it's just that they are too black-hearted and so stupid."

"Hey, I've been the boss for too long, and I've lost my vigilance! What a shame for us islanders!"

...

The other directors are all speaking in a schadenfreude tone.

This is also normal. In terms of the strength of a publishing house alone, Kodansha surpasses any of the Elementary School, Shueisha, and Hakusensha, but in terms of overall strength, the Yotsuba Group is still stronger, and has always been on top of their Otowa Group. They must be upset.

At this time, seeing the Yiqiao Group collapsed, of course, I was happy.

With their height and their knowledge of the Yiqiao Group, of course they know that the Yiqiao Group plagiarized Jiuding Animation. If the Yiqiao Group created these four comics, they would have been released long ago!

And with the characters of the old enemies of the Xiangga family, they must have applied for the patent copyright before the release. How can it be delayed until now?

Blame the Yiqiao Group who hunted wild geese all day long, and finally got pecked by the geese!

"Okay, there's no need to talk about this, let's talk about what we should do next?"

Chai Shengxiong interrupted everyone's discussion and turned the topic around and asked.

Everyone immediately quieted down and pondered, Watanabe Akihito said, "I'm not optimistic about Yiqiao Group, and now their stock has been strongly shorted by Jiuding Animation, I specifically went to learn about Jiuding Securities, Jiuding Securities is the top of the Hong Kong stock market. The company is famous for its fierce reputation, and it has never failed since its establishment. I think this time, Yiqiao Group can't stand it! It is inevitable that the stock price will plummet!"

"Since that's the case, we might as well acquire a part of the Yiqiao Group's stock. If we can annex the Yiqiao Group, that would be even better!"

Speaking of this, Akihito Watanabe's eyes flashed a ray of light.

The eyes of the other directors lit up, and they were obviously tempted by Watanabe Akihito's proposal.

The Hitotsubashi Group has been pressing on them, and the Otowa Group keeps chasing after them, if they can acquire the Hitotsubashi Group.

Do not!

Even if you hold a part of Yiqiao Group's equity and become a real director, you can seize the initiative and eat away Yiqiao Group step by step. In the end, there is no chance of annexation!

Thinking of this, the hearts of several directors thumped wildly, and even more, they couldn't help licking their lips.
