Chapter 1050 Step on the raincoat and slip
Chapter 1050: Slide in a raincoat
The window was open, and the morning wind blew the light purple curtains. Tang Jing opened her sleepy eyes, and her snow-white arms were lazily crossing Zhang Ke's chest. She clearly remembered that she slept with Fei Rong last night, so why was this guy arched beside her like a pig? Tang Jing rubbed her eyes in confusion, but she still felt comfortable to touch Zhang Ke's chest and wanted to sleep for a while. She asked softly: "Why is it that you, the pig, have you? Where are Fei Rong?"
"Drive away for me. That damn girl, I know the good things that ruined me all day long," Zhang Ke hugged Tang Jingying's thin waist that was only snatched, and "sit down a little."
Tang Jing looked at the door worriedly and said, "Don't take it off, Fei Rong will come in..."
"How about this?"
The morning was extremely lingering, with his hair flying and his skirt turning, and Tang Jing collapsed weakly there. Zhang Ke also wanted to vent his thoughts happily, but his phone rang out without knowing the fun.
Listening to the ringtone of the phone, Tang Jing curled up like she woke up, struggled from Zhang Ke, wrapped the sheet in the extremely beautiful body, no longer caring about Zhang Ke's life and death, and asked him to answer the phone with a smile.
Zhang Ke was so depressed that he was about to vomit blood. The call was not the time. He wanted to catch Tang Jing and answer the phone, but Tang Jing opened the door and slipped out in a blanket. Seeing Chen Feirong's figure just walked out of the room to the aisle, Zhang Ke couldn't chase him naked, and he had to hurry over and cover the door. It was a pleasure to see others expose him, and to show others exposing him... It seemed that nothing big - Zhang Ke answered the phone first.
It was Chen Xinsheng's call. He had just received the notice. In the early morning, it was also in the afternoon in the United States, the American Recording Industry Association agreed to revoke the allegations against Kumho and sign an out-of-court settlement agreement.
At the beginning of the year, the American Recording Industry Association sued Kumho's IPlayer business in the Eastern District Court of Figuernia for intentionally improper encryption technology to infringe on its intellectual copyright due to its intentional inadequate encryption technology. It requested the federal district court to ban Kumho's IPlayer business in the United States and filed a high compensation of up to $53.7 million.
The Federal District Court of the Eastern District of Feiginia lost the first instance of Kumho, but this lawsuit is like Tai Chi. It only requires enough energy and financial resources to fight several rounds and rounds. Losing the first instance is nothing. Kumho continues to hire a well-known North American law firm through a North American company to tangle with the American Recording Industry Association.
In more than half a year, more than two million US dollars of attorney fees alone - but the two million US dollars of attorney fees are also quite worth it.
In the early stage of China's participation in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, the copyright lawsuit with such high compensation has attracted great attention from the media in the United States and in China. In addition, the knowledge copyright disputes pursued by the American Recording Industry Association for Ida's IPlayer products are precisely the focus of the conflict between traditional audio-visual single-sounding manufacturers and Internet content manufacturers - this lawsuit has given the media much more hype than ordinary people have imagined.
Before the American Recording Industry Association sued, Kumho's monthly shipments of IPlayers in North America were only 40,000, and in half a year, it increased sharply to 130,000 pieces, making the total sales of IPlayers in North America exceed md.
To be honest, Zhang Ke wanted to hold the bare-sloppy and kiss the president of the American Recording Industry Association and a few times. This lawsuit, which cost more than 2 million lawyers' fees, was worth more than 100 million US dollars in advertising investment. After the Italian surpassed MD in North America, his next goal was walkman.
It is difficult for ordinary advertising to convince North American consumers to trust high-end electronic products from China in a short period of time - the American Recording Industry Association is firmly sluggish, and the lawsuit is becoming increasingly unfavorable to the North American Recording Industry Association. In the minds of consumers in North America, electronic companies from China are also trustworthy and profound impressions.
Kumho can be said to have become famous in the United States.
Since June, North America has to deliver more than 10 million US dollars in net profit to Kumho Commercial every month, and the profits from other regions outside Shanghai have temporarily supported Kumho Commercial Finance, which has a total debt of up to 1.8 billion US dollars.
However, the lawsuit cannot be settled for a day, and the legal status of the North American market will not be finalized in one day, which also makes dealers more doubts and are unwilling to carry out more thorough cooperation with Kumho.
"Uh..." Zhang Ke let out a sigh of relief. After hearing the good news delivered by Chen Xinsheng, the interrupted resentment became weaker. He smiled and said, "They also realized that they would not get any benefits if they continue to tangle with us. If they would reconcile outside the court, they would reconcile outside the court..."
Once the final settlement association is signed, there will be no worries about the development of the IPlayer business in North America. Of course, Kumho will also make some concessions to traditional audio and video audio manufacturers such as the American Recording Industry Association.
Of course, the ultimate conclusion of a settlement agreement that has a decent step for both parties will further expand Kumho's influence in North America and further consolidate Kumho's position in the North American consumer electronics market.
"After reaching a settlement agreement, we can also start selling the IPlayers in China..." Chen Xinsheng said on the other end of the phone.
At present, the cheapest IPlayer is priced at over 200 US dollars in overseas markets. The walkman sold by Sony in China is priced at around 100 US dollars, and the overall market is relatively small. Those that really fill the domestic market are mostly portable by domestic electronic factories. Those with better quality are mostly one or two hundred yuan, while those with a slightly worse price only cost 30 to 40 yuan.
However, there is also a high-end market in China that cannot be underestimated - just like the D188 dual-screen mobile phone with a price of more than 8,000 yuan in Kumho can become the third most popular model, even if the price is not reduced by the IPlayer, it still has a considerable market capacity in China. Kumho, who has mastered the core intellectual property rights of the IPlayer, has no need to actively reduce the price.
However, in the domestic copyright environment, pirated music websites have begun to spread. Kumho wants domestic IPlayer users to pay for genuine music to download, which is undoubtedly a dead end.
Before the lawsuit was settled with the American Recording Industry Association, Kumho relaxed the encryption restrictions on anti-piracy on the domestically sold IPlayers, which would inevitably lead to the American Recording Industry Association to seize this attack. Although it cannot be considered substantial evidence, it is enough to make American public opinion and judges lean towards the American Recording Industry Association, so Kumho has been dragging on not selling the domestically.
Nowadays, it can reach an out-of-court settlement agreement with the American Recording Industry Association, and the American Recording Industry Association can only require Kumhu to enhance the encryption technology of anti-piracy copyright on the IPlayers sold in North America on each settlement agreement. After the lawsuit in the United States is settled, Kumhu is not afraid that the American Recording Industry Association will come to China to file a copyright lawsuit.
Of course, Kumho provides the dealer with encryption and anti-theft models, and the solution can be done by the dealer.
After talking to Chen Xinsheng for a long time, I heard Tang Jing and Chen Feirong go out and call Tang Jing to trick her back and continue the good things. Tang Jing only said that after a while, she would buy breakfast with Chen Feirong for him.
Zhang Ke had no choice but to take a bath in the bathroom, lay in the bathtub, soaked the hot water, and stood up to protest. Zhang Ke could only pretend to ignore it, watching CCTV's morning news, what was not so boring today? When he heard Tang Jing and Chen Feirong come back, maybe they went to the bedroom to help clean the room. After a while, he heard Chen Feirong screaming "ah", and then the blunt sound of the human body hitting the floor.
Zhang Ke grabbed the bath towel and ran out to see it. He saw the two girls sitting on the floor and laughing. The atmosphere was awkward and ambiguous. He asked strangely: "What's so funny about falling down?"
"You dead pig head, you know how to throw garbage!" Tang Jing raised her hand and Zhang Ke hid for a while, almost threw the condom into her face. It turned out that Chen Feirong had slipped after stepping on this.
