Chapter 322 Germany Possessed by France
When he walked back, his expression was very complicated.
I never expected such important news to be leaked. Those people must have a death wish.
"Mr. Shen, due to some unexpected circumstances, the superiors' opinion is: this engine should be immediately put into full operation, and the ground facilities should simultaneously start the installation and adaptation work."
"Shenyang Aircraft Corporation and the shipyard have received notification to expedite the production of a batch of Type 15 prototypes, just waiting for your engine."
"No problem." Shen Fei nodded, knowing exactly what Major General Liu meant by "surprise."
It's probably just a leak, but it's not a big deal. In the public market, everyone thinks Transsion is a military manufacturing company!
"We have one prototype engine and three spare engines, all of which are ready for delivery."
Deputy Director Zhao nodded. It was a perfect 2+2 configuration, just enough for two cars. He strongly suspected that Shenfei had prepared it in advance.
Major General Liu then interjected, "President Shen, I have a question. How much does this engine cost?"
Shen Fei glanced at him: "The cost issue is a trade secret."
However, I can tell you that our price is one-third cheaper than the imported version.
Major General Liu was instantly overjoyed.
It's one-third cheaper than the imported ones, but its performance is a generation ahead of the imported ones, which is a bit unreasonable.
However, this also caused the three leaders present to sigh silently in their hearts:
We owe even more now!
One of their original tasks was to drive down the price of engines so that the Type 15, its improved version, and other aircraft could be quickly put into service.
In their view, this would be difficult, after all, it is a world-leading engine, and they have prepared several solutions for it.
But unexpectedly...
After the test drive, Shenfei saw off the "acceptance team" and returned to his office alone.
Not long after the break, Zhang Shiqing sent a message.
"How did the test drive go?"
"It went very smoothly!"
There was a moment of silence on the other end, and after a while, Shen Fei typed again:
"Oh, right, Dad, there's also a small boat engine that'll be ready soon."
This time, Zhang Shiqing didn't reply to the message for a full minute. He was thinking about what exactly the small boat engine that Shen Fei mentioned was.
Then the phone rang directly.
"Xiaofei, I just took some nitroglycerin. Tell me clearly how much more you're hiding."
Shen Fei put his phone on the table, then said while making tea:
"There's really not much left, just a large engine, the ship's integrated electrical system, and the small ship engine I just mentioned."
"Alright, alright!"
Zhang Shiqing interrupted him, his voice carrying a sense of self-destructive compromise.
"You make your tea. I'm going to find Old Wang to go to the Central Military Commission to give them a heads-up, otherwise their hearts won't be able to take it."
The call ended.
Shen Fei looked out the window; the setting sun bathed the entire test track in warm hues.
He picked up his teacup, blew on the steam, and muttered to himself, "They can't even handle this? And they haven't even deployed the railgun yet?"
Meanwhile, at the Shenyang Aircraft Corporation's manufacturing plant, the engines of two newly assembled Type 15 aircraft are being urgently disassembled.
Some people find it very difficult to understand why the engine, which has been assembled with great effort, is being disassembled.
Chief Engineer Luo, who was personally directing the operation from behind the scenes, suddenly said, "He wants to replace it with a domestically produced engine to achieve stronger performance."
Domestically produced engine?
The sense of disgust in everyone's hearts instantly intensified, but seeing Chief Engineer Luo's expression, the small flame was immediately suppressed!
After all, this is Chief Engineer Luo!
At this moment, Luo Yang was also looking at the two engines. He looked forward to the day when the Type 15 carrier-based aircraft would take off from the small flatbed, and there was also a sister ship waiting for him!
The engine is very important!
Meanwhile, in Washington, the intelligence agencies, after reviewing the latest news, silently put the report back into their secure bags.
"We need to reassess our technology blockade against China."
American intelligence agencies are not getting a good night's sleep.
However, Shen Fei silently wrote a line on the report:
The WS-15H has completed full-condition testing and is ready for operation.
Next, the large engine will be installed on the ship, and the all-electric propulsion experiment will be fully launched.
This time, Germany did not follow its tradition, but instead adopted the French approach.
The trial began on May 3rd, and after completing certain procedures, the judge spent nearly 20 minutes reading out the reasons for the verdict.
There's a lot of fluff, but the core message is just this: Transsion's counterclaim against Nokia for infringing its patents is partially valid, Nokia's temporary injunction is highly controversial, and it is hereby revoked.
Transsion mobile phones can resume sales in Germany starting today.
The court also ordered Nokia to pay Transsion €0.73 billion in damages for malicious litigation, as well as partial patent damages, totaling €2.83 billion.
Nokia's lawyers were filled with regret in court; they hadn't expected that, with the assurances of America, these people would dare to defect so quickly!
Aren't they afraid that the United States will hold them accountable?
An English court issued a similar ruling two days later.
Only the Netherlands is still persisting!
Meanwhile, Nokia also filed countersuits in those two countries, while other countries rejected their appeals.
As for the solution, the court suggested they reach an out-of-court settlement?
They're not involved in this mess!
When the news reached China, the people who had been laughing wildly instantly lost their spirit.
"Putting aside the facts, the so-called verdict is far from fair; it is merely a biased result."
This matter was definitely interfered with from above, and there was no fair judicial outcome. What is there to praise about it?
All I saw was bullying by a powerful nation!
"It's a company that profits by playing by the rules. There's nothing to like about it. Winning or losing doesn't change my impression of it."
All I can say is that Transsion wins, but don't even think about making a single penny off me. I'd rather die than use your phone!
When Transsion users saw these comments, they were instantly dumbfounded; these people actually had brains...
This is incredible! Absolutely incredible!
But this outcome was indeed gratifying. Nokia felt that someone behind it was planning to launch a malicious lawsuit, hoping to suppress Transsion through patent hegemony.
As a result, they shot themselves in the foot, and instead of hindering development, they exposed their own problems...
"Hey guys, is it possible that these patent rumors already knew they were infringing, but just deliberately left them untouched?"
"It's possible it's Shen Fei. With that cunning look, maybe he already has a conspiracy against Nokia in mind?"
"Upstairs, is this even possible? Isn't it necessary? [doge emoji]"
"Is selling Motorola also a possibility? After all, although Motorola's market share increased by 5% this year, it was all from low-end phones; its market share in the high-end market was halved!"
"Don't jump to conclusions, LX did it entirely voluntarily [doge emoji]"
