CHAPTER 1631: CHAPTER 1632: DON’T UNDERESTIMATE ME BECAUSE I’M YOUNG—I’M STRONG!

"This America’s intention to destroy us is truly relentless. They’ve done it before, tasted success, and now they’re doing it again!"

Xiao Chen frowned, "Xinmeng Group can produce 5-nanometer grade chips, but the problem is, our lithography machines are also imported from elsewhere.

It’s very difficult to expand production.

If we solely use our Dragon Country technology.

We can currently produce lithography machines for manufacturing 40-nanometer chips at most.

I’m afraid that’s not enough."

"Even you can’t do anything, then we’ll have to abandon this leading product."

Di Tianjiao felt a bout of frustration, "Our machine tools have already outperformed many European countries, yet we can’t produce them, truly frustrating."

"What level of chip do you actually need?"

Xiao Chen asked.

"Machine tool chips aren’t as extravagant as phones, about 20 nanometers is sufficient."

Di Tianjiao said.

"Alright, I’ll think of a way, you don’t need to worry. Isn’t it just chips? Temporarily unable to produce, I can stock up, taking advantage of the fact that our company isn’t banned yet, let’s stockpile some chips first."

Xiao Chen said.

"You have a way?"

"Yes! But this is just a temporary solution; to truly solve the fundamental issue, we must improve our own lithography machine quality."

Xiao Chen felt a bit gloomy upon saying this.

Worldwide, no single country can independently manufacture high-performance lithography machines.

America can’t either.

But America has many allies, along with their established early-stage technological and financial advantages.

This results in Dragon Country facing barriers internationally.

Having to develop independently.

"Frank is here!"

At this moment, Jun Moxie’s voice rang nearby, "That guy is the President of Langpu Group’s Dragon Country Area, though he hardly stays in Dragon Country."

Xiao Chen looked up.

A typical American.

His core logic reeks of banditry.

Arrogant!

Self-centered!

Only allows himself to act, not others.

"Silence!"

"Thump—"

Onstage, the judge called out.

Instantly, the court went silent.

Xiao Chen was attending a hearing for the first time.

Because it’s a civil lawsuit, the atmosphere wasn’t as oppressive.

"Little Junior Sister, we meet again!"

Lawyer Di Hao from Imperial Capital Law Firm saw Bai Jingjing and smiled, "Unfortunately, Senior Brother is going to give you a quite unforgettable lesson."

"I heard Senior Brother has never lost a case, seems today that record might be broken."

Bai Jingjing also smiled.

Although smiling, the air was clearly tense.

"Alright, let’s begin the trial. Plaintiff’s lawyer, please proceed with your statement."

The judge said calmly.

Bai Jingjing remained silent.

Di Hao took out his prepared materials and started his statement.

One must admit, this person is quite capable indeed.

Since his debut, over a hundred cases, not a single loss, the skill is not to be underestimated.

He pinpointed issues within several products from Xinmeng Group, comparing them with Langpu Group’s products.

Also presenting laboratory data.

To prove these products undeniably have similarities, clearly evidence of plagiarizing.

"Honorable Judge, Xinmeng Group’s rise represents the rise of a plagiarizing group!

In such a short time, they’ve exploited loopholes in domestic laws for profit, continuously plagiarizing advanced foreign technology.

I deeply regret.

Though I personally support domestic industries, such fraud companies, plagiarizing companies, I do not support!

..."

Normally, Langpu Group would certainly lose this lawsuit.

But Di Hao’s capability is evident, he seized upon some of Xinmeng Group’s initial setup problems and attacked.

Perfectly timed.

At this point, even viewers in front of the TV and those in the audience listening to the case felt Xinmeng Group indeed built their foundation on plagiarism.

Bai Jingjing sat there listening quietly.

She is a professional lawyer; no matter what the opposition says, she remains calm.

A lawyer needs reason, not excitement.

"Xinmeng Group actually hired such a young girl as their defense attorney, unbelievable."

"Could it be they’re overconfident, thus underestimating the opponent?"

"Underestimating the opponent is a grave mistake; I initially thought Xinmeng Group would surely win, but after Di Hao’s statements, suddenly Langpu Group’s chances of winning seem to have increased."

"Sigh, if Xinmeng Group loses this lawsuit, it would be very embarrassing!"

...

The surrounding discussions had no effect on Bai Jingjing.

Since she started this career, she knew it’s tough.

Without mental preparation, she wouldn’t have come here.

"Defendant’s statement, please!"

The judge looked over at Bai Jingjing.

Bai Jingjing slowly stood up.

With a smile, she glanced at Di Hao and said, "Senior Brother is indeed skilled, top-notch at finding flaws in perfection; if it were someone else, they might not win this lawsuit.

But unfortunately, you’ve encountered me today.

You mentioned the high similarity between Xinmeng Group’s products and Langpu Group’s products.

I believe, I have a piece of evidence here that can address the issue.

Honorable Judge, I request to present the evidence!"

"Granted!"

The judge nodded.

Bai Jingjing took out some documents and projected them on the screen.

At that instant, the room buzzed.

The evidence laid out there spoke for itself, anyone could understand.

"Langpu Group went to great lengths to frame Xinmeng Group, concocting a plot.

Recently, they’ve launched a pharmaceutical product overseas, which contains Xinmeng Group’s patent.

The launch date of this product was this January.

Using their influence, they falsified the date, pushing it ten months earlier.

Just before Xinmeng Group.

Our domestic public is often unaware of foreign developments, mistakenly believing we’re inferior to others.

It’s easy to fall for their tricks.

But, I’m a professional, I acquired this document from the official American source."

The moment she presented it, Di Hao’s face turned gloomy.

A lawyer’s role is to decide when to present evidence; the evidence is critical, and it’s the lawyer’s skill in utilizing it that matters.

Handle it well, and you win; badly, you lose.

"Your pharmaceuticals include patents from several international companies, including Xiao Corporation; how do you explain that?"

Di Hao questioned unwillingly.

He never expected the opponent could muster such materials; it was unbelievable.

"Now, let me address the second issue.

Honorable Judge, I’d like to submit my second piece of evidence!"

"Granted!"

"These are the initial patent authorization documents used by Xinmeng Group, including those from Xiao Corporation, all complete!"

Bai Jingjing said coldly, "You probably never thought, did you, what allowed the small Xinmeng Group to gain patent authorization from so many large companies.

So, Senior Brother, you’ve been set up from the start!

Honorable Judge, I request the witness to testify!"

Before the trial, she learned something, feeling gratitude towards Xiao Chen; this matter could be pivotal in tarnishing Langpu Group’s reputation.
