Urban God-level Youth-Chapter 607 - 609 Court Verdict

Chapter 607: Chapter 609 Court Verdict Chapter 607 -609 Court Verdict Qin Hao, upon hearing his uncle’s words, was stunned for a moment but quickly recovered, “It’s already done. I was a bit busy the past few days and forgot about it. Just wait a moment, uncle, I’ll send it to you now.”

After hanging up the phone, Qin Hao hurried to his study, opened the system store, and quickly found the category for agriculture and farming.

He first chose to exchange for: Super Wheat Seed Development Technology, which could yield up to five thousand catties per acre, with tough and erect roots, and rich, full wheat grains, requiring five million achievement points for the exchange.

Qin Hao checked online and found that the highest yield of wheat per acre in Xuan Country was over 1700 catties, which was the highest.

Five thousand catties was definitely a shocking figure.

After the exchange, Qin Hao sent the development technology to his uncle through Xinghai Social Software.

Upon seeing this, Li Pingsheng asked in disbelief, “Xiao Hao, is the yield per acre a typo? Five thousand catties?”

Qin Hao responded, “Uncle, it’s not a mistake. You’ll know once you develop the seeds and experiment with them. Also, uncle, wait a moment.”

Following that, Qin Hao exchanged for Super Corn Seed Development Technology, along with rice, soybeans, sorghum, peanuts, cotton, and more.

Qin Hao exchanged for every major crop grown in Xuan Country, spending a total of fifty-eight million achievement points, as food production was tied to the fate of the nation.

The increase in food production was crucial; firstly, it could increase export volumes to benefit farmers, and secondly, it could stockpile food to ensure there were no worries about food and drink in the event of war.

Currently, farmers couldn’t make much money from farming in a year, but starting from the next farming season, farming could also bring wealth and prosperity.

Qin Hao told Li Pingsheng, “Uncle, don’t set the price too high, remember to cooperate with the government, that’s how it can be widely popularized.”

“I understand, Xiao Hao, don’t worry,” Li Pingsheng replied.

Li Pingsheng’s agricultural seed company was very large and ranked among the top ten in the country, and due to its openness to the global market, it faced competition from foreign seed companies.

Foreign seed companies had advanced technology and high yields, which resulted in a lot of pre-orders for the next season’s seeds; Li Pingsheng’s company saw a significant decline in pre-orders.

After helping Li Pingsheng, Qin Hao found advanced elevator technology and spent six million achievement points on it.

He sent this technology to He Tingting in the lab through the Intelligent Computer Xiao Xing.

After completing these tasks, he checked the active users on the Xinghai Social Software; it constantly maintained around seven hundred million, which was extremely impressive.

The active users on Tenglong Group’s social software barely reached fifty million, a world of difference compared to before.

The “Mechanical Soldier” game also became hugely popular, with downloads exceeding five hundred million and average daily active users exceeding one hundred million.

Reaching this level of game users was unprecedented.

Suddenly, Qin Hao’s phone rang, it was a call from Xu Jiejian, “Xiao Hao, can you really develop the new solar panels?”

Qin Hao answered, “Mr. Xu, I wouldn’t cheat anyone, let alone you. Don’t worry, it should be ready in about six or seven days.”

Xu Jiejian nodded, “I’ve been under a lot of pressure these past few days. Uncle believes in you, just get it done as soon as possible.”

Before he could hang up with Xu Jiejian, Qin Hao’s phone rang with a call from Chang Jing.

He ended the call with Xu Jiejian and answered Chang Jing’s, “Mr. Chang, what’s happening?”

Chang Jing said, “Mr. Qin, Qian Du Group, Tenglong Group, and Amao Net Shopping Group have sued our Xingyu Network Communication Company and Xinghai High-tech Company in court.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Hao’s expression stiffened, “They’ve sued us in court? What does that mean?”

Chang Jing said with a somewhat worried tone, “The three groups are accusing Xingyu Network Communication Company of monopolistic technology and engaging in unfair competition, claiming that the Xinghai company’s software sidelined the three groups’ platforms. They’re demanding compensation for all damages, demanding thirteen trillion Federation currency.”

…

Qin Hao furrowed his brows, “Does having a leading technology also count as a monopoly?”

Chang Jing replied, “Having a leading technology does not count as a monopoly, but our use of Star Domain Network to edge out the three major groups might have violated anti-monopoly laws. The definition is actually quite vague, and it depends on how it is judged. I have already hired the best lawyers in the country.”

Thirteen trillion Federation currency?

These three bastards really dare to ask, are they trying to bankrupt me?

At the same time, this news also spread online, with major news agencies and online media outlets racing to report it.

Everything was being said, and some even claimed that Qin Hao had violated anti-monopoly laws and would compensate the three major companies thirteen trillion Federation currency.

Suddenly, public opinions were diverse, and both Xingyu Network Communication Company and Xinghai High-tech Company were thrust into the eye of the storm.

Qin Hao was once again thrust into the eye of the storm, and countless netizens left messages supporting Qin Hao, standing up against the three giants.

“We have all witnessed what Mr. Qin has done. What monopoly? It’s obvious that Mr. Qin’s technology is just more advanced.”

“Truly shameless, we support Mr. Qin.”

“That’s right, we support Mr. Qin. My kid could start university this year without tuition fees, thanks to Mr. Qin.”

“Support Mr. Qin, boycott the shameless three giants.”

“Monopoly my ass, just because they can’t develop advanced technology, they accuse others of monopolizing? Are they saying artificial intelligence technology has also violated monopoly laws?”

…

Qin Hao hung up the phone and told Han Meng before he left.

He went to the office of Xinghai High-tech Company, where Chang Jing was discussing specific matters with people from the legal department.

Seeing Qin Hao enter, Chang Jing looked up with a hint of worry between her brows, “Mr. Qin.”

Qin Hao walked over and asked, “How’s it going?”

Chang Jing replied, “We can only wait for the court session three days from now, but I think the issue shouldn’t be too significant. Who’s right and who’s wrong, I believe the authorities can discern.”

Xinghai Company is vibrant and full of potential; the three giants are already in their twilight years. It is entirely Xinghai Company’s merit that they could lead the world with some technologies now.

Qin Hao nodded slightly. The matter was not that simple, and the final outcome would likely result from many forces clashing.

The court session was set for 9 AM on March 10th at the first court of Jianghai City.

Chang Jing entered the courthouse with a few lawyers and staff, accompanied by Li Fengyu, Ren Huachen, and a group of other people including Lv Tian.

Over the past few days, the court had also been gathering various pieces of evidence. When the time came, the judge announced the start of the session, and the lawyers from both sides began their initial skirmish.

Finally, after both sides had no further additions, the judge began announcing the final discussion results:

Xingyu Network Communication Company did indeed exhibit phenomena of monopolistic technology to exclude competitors.

The software under Xinghai High-tech Company indeed outperformed the TT Social Software in performance and user experience, aligning with the rules of competing in the market through technological innovation.

Regarding the huge compensation demanded by the Tenglong Group’s three companies, it was deemed unlawful and was rejected.

The final decision was to fine Xingyu Network Communication Company 1.369 billion, and order Xingyu Network Communication Company to implement network openness to the three Tenglong Group companies.
