However, misfortunes never come singly. Just when Wang Hong was still hesitating whether to give up HTC One x and get a full refund, even greater bad news came!

The marketing director looked at the information on his phone and turned pale.

"What happened again?" Wang Hong frowned.

Fang Jin sighed: "Chairman, one of our HTC flagship stores in the empire was robbed!"

"What? The flagship store was robbed?"

Wang Hong was stunned, and everyone else was also dumbfounded.

"How could this happen?" Wang Hong was speechless: "It's the 21st century, how can there be such barbarians? Are you kidding me?"

Fang Jin was speechless: "It is said that consumers who made full-pay reservations for HTC One

.As a result, there was a commotion, and I don’t know who was leading it. A group of people rushed into the store and robbed all our display machines and new machines!”

Wang Hong's mouth twitched: "..."

Other senior executives also looked livid: "..."

The losses were huge now.

A large flagship store was robbed and the losses were horrific.

"Have you called the police? What did the police say?" Wang Hong couldn't help but ask.

Fang Jin was helpless: "We called the police, but there was nothing the police could do. Firstly, there were too many people, and secondly, we were also at fault for this matter."

"This..." Wang Hong was silent, not knowing what to say.

Fang Jin continued: "This kind of thing is relatively easy to happen in the empire. You can also call the police. The FBI can't control this or that. We can only admit defeat."

Wang Hong: "..."

"What's more important is that I'm worried that other people will follow suit and rob a few of our stores, and it will be over."

"Yes, you are right, this is the most serious matter."

Wang Hong took a deep breath: "We must not let them continue to make trouble. That's all. Let us inform you that all the 1.5 million HTC One x units that were fully booked will be refunded! Alas!"

A sigh of helplessness.

The taste of eating meat in your mouth and then spitting it out is too unpleasant.

Some people couldn't help but said: "1.5 million units, a profit of more than 3 billion, can't be refunded, Chairman!"

Wang Hong smiled coldly: "If you don't retreat? Then let them continue to grab?"

"This..." The man was speechless.

"Okay, let's do it like this. Refund first and then we can't let this matter get bigger."

"yes!"

"Chairman, as for our production and purchase of HTC One x..."

Wang Hong let out a long sigh and looked extremely sad:

"There is nothing we can do. Apple, Samsung, Nokia and other companies have all launched patent lawsuits against us. In the future, HTC One x will be banned from sale in Europe, the United States, Japan and South Korea."

"It can be said that in the future, HTC One

"

"As for components? Cut orders wherever you can to control costs. For production, reduce production lines and sell while producing to prevent excessive inventory."

"The meeting is dismissed!"

"yes!"

Everyone retreated one after another. Wang Hong was guarding the huge conference room with an extremely ugly look on her face:

“Before, I was still thinking that HTC One

"But now we are facing prosecution, sales ban, and large-scale refunds... How ironic!"

"What a joke, ugh!"

With a sigh, Wang Hong's expression became extremely sad.

What's even more terrible is that the problem is not only the HTC One x phone, but also HTC's other best-selling phones, as well as future new phones.

It can be said that as long as there is a mobile phone, there must be communication, and a large number of communication patents must be involved.

It is easy to bypass other patents and find another solution.

But communication patents are difficult to bypass, let alone all of them!

This will result in prosecution and ban on sales.

As a result, HTC's future is indeed uncertain.

Last year, HTC sold 43 million units. Let alone making further progress this year, it will be difficult not to halve the sales.

For a moment, Wang Hong looked gloomy, feeling that HTC was besieged on all sides and that the situation was over.

But as a strong woman, she is still very strong. She quickly stabilized her mentality and studied new coping strategies.

The lanterns are on.

Wang Yi returned to Lin Shu's house. As soon as he entered the door, the smell of meat hit his face.

Lin Shu came out of the kitchen with a rice cooker: "Wang Yi, I braised pig trotters and pig ears, come and try them!"

Wang Yi was very surprised: "Xiao Shu, do you still cook these things?"

"I didn't know how to eat it before. You said you liked to eat it when you were a child, so I learned it during the winter vacation. I also made some secret braised food recipes. How do you like it?"

As he spoke, Lin Shu picked up a big pig's trotter and put it in Wang Yi's bowl.

After Wang Yi washed his hands, he looked at the pig's trotters in the bowl and said with a smile: "The quality of these is very good, not much worse than what Luweizhai sells."

Then he tasted it again: "Yeah, it's delicious! Xiao Shu, you can even run a stall at your level!"

"Really?" Lin Shu was in a good mood, with beautiful eyes like water: "You can eat it if you like, but it's a pity that I didn't buy the secret recipe of Luweizhai. They keep it secret very strictly."

"It's okay, it's already delicious. Remember to get some pig tails next time."

"Pig tail, do you like this thing? Okay!"

Wang Yi nodded and fell into memories: "I liked eating it very much when I was a child. At that time, in my hometown village, an uncle rode a motorcycle with cooked meat and came to the village to sell it."

"Grandma knows that I like to eat, so she always asks him to leave a pig tail for me."

"Although there isn't much meat, it tastes very good. I haven't eaten it in years."

Wang Yi was filled with emotions.

Maybe I don’t really like eating pig tails now, I just miss the feeling I had when I was a child.

Carefree, no worries, a pig tail can make you happy for most of the day.

That period was Wang Yi's happiest time, and it was also a time that he could never get back.

Even though I am richer now and have stronger financial resources, I still don’t have the same state of mind I had at that time.

I wanted to buy sweet-scented osmanthus and drink it with me, but in the end it was not like I was a young man traveling.

Lin Shu held Wang Yi's hand and said gently: "Okay, next time I will braise the pig tail. If it tastes good, let's make more and take it back to grandma, grandpa and grandma!"

"Okay!" Wang Yi was in a good mood: "Xiao Shu, it's great to have you."

"Hey, it's better to have a brother." Lin Shu said and kissed him gently.

After the meal, Lin Shu nestled against Wang Yi, swaying her long legs and scrolling through her phone:

"HTC announces that all fully paid HTC One x pre-orders will be refunded unconditionally!"

"Xiaoyi, HTC One x has been fully refunded."

"As expected." Wang Yi said calmly, knowing in his heart that HTC One x is finished and will not have any impact on xphone 1pro.

This was the case with HTC in the previous life. It launched many popular models, but they all ended without success due to various reasons.

For example, the HTC G7 sold so well that it overshadowed Samsung's flagships. Samsung directly cut off the screen supply of the G7 due to insufficient production capacity.

Without the screen, the G7 is finished. No matter how popular it is, there is no one to buy.

Today's HTC One x is like this again. It has been sued by major giants and faces a large-scale sales ban.

Lin Shu read the report and understood the process: "So it turns out that we were sued over patent issues and banned from sale! Patents are really a big problem, and that's why our xphone 1 and xphone 1pro are only sold in China.

?”

Wang Yi nodded: "That's right. If you don't have enough patents, you will be sued and banned from sale. You have to apologize and compensate, which is equivalent to making money for Apple, Samsung, and Nokia. It's meaningless."

Lin Shu was stunned, but even more curious: "Because of the lack of patents and fear of being sued, the Xingyi mobile phone is only sold in China. But doesn't HTC understand this? Why do they not sell it in China even though they don't have enough patents? Why do they have to go out?

?Have to be sued?”

Isn't this a disease?

Wang Yi smiled. Lin Shu's words were actually what many people were thinking:
