The sky in the east slowly turned white, and people who had eaten kimchi began to go to work one after another.

This is an island with numerous cranes and countless behemoths gradually forming here.

In terms of hugeness, the 40,000-ton heavy-duty aircraft-carrying cruiser that has entered the dock is absolutely nothing. A ten-ton or twenty-ton oil tanker is much larger than it.

However, in terms of power, this warship definitely ranks first.

At this time, all the weapons on its front deck had been removed, and scaffolding had been erected on its bow, making it look like construction would start at any time.

At this time, several people were walking behind the warship. Their feet were stepping on the riveted deck, and they were communicating as they walked.

"We have replaced the purchased boilers with good results. As long as the remaining four boilers are in place, this warship will definitely have strong power again." Li Jinshan said to the people around him.

Although this man was not wearing a military uniform and was wearing the latest woolen coat, covering his body, his walking posture and his precise movements all showed his status as a soldier.

Only a long military career can form it.

At this time, the plainclothes officer glanced at Li Jinshan and said, "When will the remaining four boilers be installed?"

"We have already placed the order. It may take some time. After all, unlike this boiler, the remaining four boilers need to be newly produced." Li Jinshan said: "Anyway, we are also carrying out other modifications now.

The entire modification plan may last one or two years, and the boiler will definitely be in place before the modification is completed. We also hope that the Navy can provide us with funding as soon as possible."

"No problem, the modification plan of this aircraft carrier has been included in our project this year. The modification costs you need, as well as the cost of this aircraft carrier, will be in place gradually." The officer said: "It's just that currently, the Navy

We are still hesitating because there are not many carrier-based aircraft for us to choose from."

The Kimchi Navy's carrier-based aircraft originally only had helicopters. Now, if they want to modify this aircraft carrier, they must have supporting carrier-based aircraft.

What aircraft should they carry?

"F-18, we can purchase a batch of F-18 from the United States. I believe that this aircraft will definitely become the most powerful carrier-based fighter of our navy!" Li Jinshan said excitedly.

Li Jinshan was very enthusiastic about developing Kimchi Country's navy, and he had already thought about it.

With their good relationship with the United States, they can obtain advanced weapons and equipment from the United States at any time. Whatever the United States has, they can have it.

"I heard that the Aerospace Industry Corporation is now planning to introduce the F-16 production line from the United States. I think we can adjust it and introduce the F-18 production line instead, so that both the Air Force and the Navy can equip the F-16 production line.

-18 fighter jets are the most suitable choice for us. If the Air Force is unwilling, we can also purchase them directly. This warship can operate up to thirty-six F-18 fighter jets."

Just as Li Jinshan looked excited, a voice came from the distance.

"The Minsk can leak oil at any time, and there is also radiation! We protest against the dismantling of the Minsk!"

"Boycott, we boycott it completely!"

Looking over from the high deck, one can see that a large number of people gathered on the road outside their shipyard, holding small flags in their hands and waving them constantly.

When he saw these people, Li Jinshan's expression turned ugly again.

Damn environmental groups! What a bunch of idle guys!

Are these guys really for the noble idea of ​​environmental protection? Well, only these guys themselves know how dirty their hearts are! Environmental protection is just a shameless excuse.

What kind of radiation! What kind of radiation can there be from an aircraft carrier that burns boilers? However, these damn environmental organizations, in order to exaggerate the threat of the Minsk, actually described it as a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. People who don’t know the truth just

This was incited.

When the Varyag was towed back, countless Chinese were proud of it and couldn't wait to watch it become the motherland's first aircraft carrier.

Now, what about Kimchi Country? The people are actually opposing it, which is ironic enough.

"Damn guys, they will take advantage of our working time to block the road of our workers. Now, those workers who have not come to work have another excuse to be late or even run away!" The deputy next to Li Jinshan also

Then he cursed.

At this moment, Pu Douxuan came over with a gloomy look: "Report, the Norwegians are here, and they and we have filed a request for infringement compensation."

"Norwegians?" Li Jinshan was confused: "Do we have any interaction with them?"

"They said that the MOSS-type natural gas carrier we are building has infringed on some of their patents and asked us to pay compensation. They came here today in the hope of reaching a settlement. If that doesn't work, they will resort to law."

"Hmph, these patent robbers, let's go over and have a look." Li Jinshan looked at the officer beside him: "I'm sorry, I can't stay with you for now!"

Li Jinshan walked towards the office with heavy steps.

Why is there always so much bad news waiting for him recently? What other bullshit infringements are there?

"Hello, Mr. Li, we are sent by Kvaerner Company. My name is Brad. Our investigation found that the natural gas carrier Mediterranean you are building uses our patented technology."

"This is impossible. Your patented technology has three or four MOSS tanks. Our natural gas ship has five MOSS tanks, which is different from your ship." Li Jinshan said.

"Mr. Li, you have already said that it is a moss tank. Since it is this kind of tank, it is related to our patent. Our company acquired moss

Rosenberg Shipbuilding Company, including all its patents, as long as it uses Moss tanks, then it is our company's patent."

"This is nonsense!" Li Jinshan was annoyed. He was very irritated because of the affairs of those environmental protection organizations. Now, he encountered such a group of patent trolls again!

"Cars are still four-wheeled, and I have never seen Mercedes-Benz, the company that invented the car, charging patent fees from other car companies! This is patent blackmail!"

"Mr. Li, we have evidence." Brad said: "The diameter of each tank of your Moss tank natural gas ship is 40 meters, which is exactly the same as the diameter of our patented Moss tank."

"How can this be regarded as patent infringement? Our car wheels are as big as those of Mercedes-Benz cars." Li Jinshan was very angry and his tone was very unfriendly.

"Apart from the fact that the Moss tanks are exactly the same, the collection device below is also exactly the same, as well as the layout of the pipelines, which all infringe on our patent. Since you don't understand, let us introduce it to you in detail."

Brad said, opening a drawing.

"Damn it, how could you have such a drawing?" Li Jinshan looked at the overall design drawing in surprise, and was secretly shocked. Could it be that the Mingzhou Group had tricked him?

its not right!

This idea flashed through my mind and was rejected. If the Norwegians wanted to claim compensation, they would definitely bring Mingzhou Group with them. This technology was obviously provided to them by Mingzhou Group.

Commercial espionage must be commercial espionage!

Li Jinshan thought that several companies had been in frequent contact with them recently to negotiate about ordering natural gas ships. Of course they would warmly receive them. One of the companies even asked for drawings, which were just general design drawings, and they gave them to them.

Who would have thought that that company was sent by the Norwegians as commercial espionage!

"You don't need to ask about the origin of this drawing. I just want to know whether you built it according to this drawing. If so, then you have indeed infringed our company's patent. We are here this time.

, is in good faith. As long as you compensate us, we will avoid tit-for-tat confrontation in court and avoid Dazhou Company’s reputation being tarnished in the world’s shipbuilding industry.”

"Compensation? How much do you want?" Li Jinshan said.

"One billion."

"What, a billion? Korean won?"

"Mr. Li, don't be joking. In international cooperation, US dollars are used as the unit." Brad said: "Since you have infringed on our patent, you have to compensate us for our losses. Moreover, you have already received

The order for six natural gas ships, the first two of which are currently under construction, you also need to re-introduce relevant patented technologies from us, and five percent of the price of each ship is the patent fee."

Five percent of the ship price is the normal market price. However, Dazhou Company has just started building natural gas ships. The investment is very high and there is no profit at all. If the five percent of the ship price is given to

Patent troll, then Dazhou Company will have to lose money!

Therefore, deep down in his heart, Li Jinshan was conflicted.

"We have purchased the patent. We purchased the patent from Mingzhou Group. This has nothing to do with us. If you want to pursue liability for infringement, then go to Mingzhou Group!"

Pu Douxuan shouted.

After hearing Pu Douxuan's words, Li Jinshan's eyes suddenly lit up, yes, what does this have to do with his side?

"Of course we have to go to Mingzhou Group, but after all, you have infringed on our patent. I have made a request to you on behalf of the company. If you don't agree, then we will have to go to court. We have already

We have definite evidence and if it goes to court, we will ask you to stop this infringement."

What does stop mean? Of course, those six natural gas ships cannot be built! In this way, the compensation will definitely be an astronomical figure!

"Are you threatening us?" Li Jinshan glanced at Brad.

"No, this is just a friendly reminder."

"Humph!" Li Jinshan looked out the window, where a group of so-called environmentalists were still holding flags high and denouncing something. At this moment, his mood was extremely bad.

"Our company has introduced the patent of Mingzhou Group. We are building this kind of natural gas ship, and it is justifiable. It is not your turn to judge. If you want to find it, then go to Mingzhou Group. It has nothing to do with us!"

Li Jinshan made a decision. In his eyes, it is impeccable. These patent trolls! Even if they go to court to litigate, they may not lose. At worst, they can find a few lawyers to accompany them to litigate.

Lawsuits are also very common in years.

Li Jinshan sneered, sent these guys away, and then picked up the phone.

"Hey, is Mr. Qin here? I'm from Dazhou Company and I want to see Mr. Qin."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Qin has gone abroad and will not be back for a while. What can I do for you?"

"What, the patent thing? Please rest assured that there is no infringement of our patents. Please rest assured."

Putting down the phone, Cong Ju looked at Qin Tao with complicated eyes.

"Mr. Qin, I'm very surprised. Why did the Norwegian company come to trouble Dazhou Company instead of us?"

Every injustice has its owner, and every debt has its owner. When it comes to infringement, one's own side must come first.

"Because they already know that we have introduced French patents, so even if they come to blackmail us, they will not get any benefits." Qin Tao said, "Besides, we have to thank our motherland."

"Thank you for what?"

"Because we are a country with imperfect laws." Qin Tao said with a smile.
