196: Chapter 196: The Hangzhou Judicial System Shaken!

The elevator doors slid open silently.

Yang Tian followed closely behind Zhou Fan, while Lin Shuang walked in with almost synchronized hands and feet.

"Ding—"

The doors closed.

In the narrow space, the air seemed to solidify.

Lin Shuang's cheeks were still flushed with excitement, her eyes shining astonishingly bright, her pupils reflecting the blurred silhouette of Zhou Fan, like a fanatical believer seeing a deity for the first time.

In her mind, the sentence Zhou Fan said in the office echoed over and over again.

"How should we prove to everyone that this world cannot do without Fanmi Technology?"

What arrogance, and what confidence!

This was Zhou Fan's way of dealing with this crisis, which exceeded everyone's expectations.

This was declaring war on the whole world.

Using a method bordering on kidnapping to declare his indispensability.

This person... is he really just a university student?

The aura he had just now in the office made her afraid to even breathe loudly.

Everyone was stunned, he was in control of the whole situation... she had never seen this kind of ability in any other university student.

Lin Shuang secretly glanced at Zhou Fan in the mirror with the corner of her eye.

His jawline was tight, exuding a cold and hard quality.

She suddenly felt that her life for the past twenty-plus years had been like living in a bland family drama.

And at this moment, she had been forcibly dragged into a top-tier Hollywood commercial spy thriller.

Her heart was about to explode in her chest.

"Assistant Lin." Just then, Zhou Fan's voice suddenly sounded.

He didn't turn his head, but his voice was clearly transmitted to Lin Shuang's ears through the reflection of the metal walls.

Lin Shuang jumped, straightened her body abruptly, "Boss Zhou!"

"How is the situation with Peng Yang?" Zhou Fan asked.

"..." Hearing this, Lin Shuang felt a slight relief in her heart, thinking that the random thoughts she had been having were discovered by the boss, which scared her to death... Soon, her tone also became serious.

"The project on Group Leader Peng's side is progressing smoothly, but he keeps complaining about the manpower problem..."

"How is the progress with the people I asked you to recruit?" Zhou Fan frowned slightly.

"A few are progressing well, and they should be able to report for duty before the end of the year!" Speaking of this, Lin Shuang's tone was somewhat happy.

"Hmm, keep contacting the others... If you need any help, find General Manager Lei!" Zhou Fan thought for a moment and continued.

"Yes!"

"..."

...

Fanmi Technology's response was as swift and fierce as a storm.

First was the legal department, which, in the shortest possible time, sorted out the loopholes in the other party's patent lawsuit and submitted a special litigation preservation measure to the court, applying for the normal production and technical research of Fanmi Technology to continue during the lawsuit.

The technical department also immediately organized all research materials and corresponding R&D time proof materials.

The marketing and public relations departments were firing on all cylinders, on one hand issuing response statements, and on the other hand, maximizing the maintenance of the emotions of existing suppliers, customers, and consumers, mainly the suppliers, to ensure that no problems would occur during this chaotic period.

The outside world remained objective and rational regarding the news of Fanmi's infringement.

After all, most users who supported Fanmi had watched Fanmi grow from nothing step by step, and experienced the hardships during that time, feeling the same way.

Now, facing the encirclement of foreign giants and Tesla, most users were actually standing together against a common enemy.

They were on the same side as Fanmi!

This also led to the fact that online public opinion hardly needed to be guided; sympathy and support for Fanmi poured in like a tide.

On the other side, Yang Tian naturally took action too.

He contacted the Chinese Academy of Sciences immediately. After Zhao Chengping and Academician Yu Fei heard the news, they almost ran to Hangzhou City directly.

Patent infringement, plagiarism?

In their view, this was an insult to Zhou Fan.

Does such a genius need to copy other people's things?

Even cutting-edge technology like the 45nm Lithography Machine was created just by saying so!

Taking a small battery management technology and saying Fanmi plagiarized?

Who are you looking down on!!!

Fortunately, Zhou Fan stopped the two academicians who were a bit worked up.

This matter was not suitable to be involved with the Chinese Academy of Sciences on the surface, and he did not intend to let them participate.

However, although the two academicians gave up the idea of coming to Hangzhou City, they could not watch Zhou Fan being wronged.

After hanging up the phone, they mobilized their own connections.

From top to bottom, during this period, the entire judicial system of Hangzhou City was shaken.

The Intellectual Property Court felt like the sky was falling; one big shot after another called down, and without exception, they were all asking about Fanmi Technology, and their tone was not good, labeling them as making things difficult for a domestic high-tech model enterprise.

"Just how strong is the backing of this Fanmi Technology? It's terrifying!"

In the office of the Hangzhou City Intellectual Property Court, several staff members were whispering.

At this time, the office door was pushed open rudely.

"Where are the application documents for Fanmi Technology's preservation measures? Find them and send a consent letter over immediately!!!"

"And BYD's side, hurry up and approve it together!"

The chief prosecutor in charge of this case, Liu Tongmin, spoke in a somewhat hurried tone, as if holding a hot potato in his hands.

"Prosecutor Liu, we have already prepared the documents, just waiting for you to stamp and send them out..." A clerk quickly handed over the two files.

"Then what are you waiting for, stamp it!!!" Liu Tongmin took a stamp out of his pocket and stamped the two documents on the spot.

"Hurry up, mail it, no... have someone send it to them!"

"..."

Liu Tongmin's abnormal performance made everyone in the office look at each other.

Soon, someone reacted, took the documents, and quickly went out.

"Prosecutor Liu... did the higher-ups give an order?" Someone asked in a low voice, inquiring about the situation.

"..." Liu Tongmin was silent, then shook his head gently.

He didn't say anything, just turned and left the office.

It would be fine if an order had been given.

This case was too tricky; the higher-ups didn't give a definite order, but the meaning revealed was very clear.

Spare no effort to protect Fanmi Technology.

But handling the case still required methods and means; after all, it involved a joint lawsuit by several major Western technology giants.

He really wanted to transfer the case up, so he wouldn't have to be worried all day long.

But for some reason, the higher-ups didn't seem to have any intention of taking over the case.

Several applications were rejected.

Now, he also realized.

This was definitely the trickiest case he had encountered since he started his career.

None of them!

Since he ran into it, he could only consider himself unlucky!

Damn it, neither side could be offended!
