Chapter 573 The Largest Shareholder
"Property rights patent?!"
Leo''s words made Flora freeze for a moment.
There was a moment of panic on her face, clearly taken aback by Leo''s words.
In this age of piracy, it seems that there is a greater need for something like a patent to defend rights.
Any article can be patented, including goods.
Whenever a new item is developed, the Group applies for a patent for the product from the patent
office.
They were the only ones to allowed to do it, otherwise it was a copyright infringement.
There was no doubt that her ‘Phantom Magic’ series of products under the F Group was a giarism of
L Group''s ''Angel'' series of products.
But at that time she didn''t know that the Angel range had been patented!
If things went badly, she was likely to face legal liability.
At this thought, Flora''s expression turned pale.
But soon she was still reluctant to believe the truth of the matter.
"Impossible, as far as I know, we had already developed the ‘Phantom Magic’ series of products before
Lydia had time to apply for a patent from the patent agency, you are making a false usation!"
Flora was dead set against admitting it, and even looked at Leo coldly and said, "Phantom Magic didn''t
giarise the Angel, but we developed it ourselves, and unless you can produce the patent samples of
the Angel series products, I won''tpromise."
This was said with extreme confidence, as she was quite sure that Lydia had developed it before she
had even had time to apply for the title.
For that matter, she had sent a secret enquiry earlier.
So she had got it all figured out!
"Is that so?"
Leo, however, smiled lightly, "My wife had been busy with other things during that time, so she hadn''t
had time to apply for a patent, but that doesn''t mean I hadn''t thought of this."
At these words, Flora''s eyes instantly became austere, "What do you mean?"
Leo smiled, "What I mean is that the patent certificate book is inside our L Group, if you want to see it, I
can ask someone to bring it over."

Flora froze for a moment, so he couldn''t get it now!
Then a smile returned to her face, "The point is, can you show proof of the patent?"
Leoughed, "You Don’t believe me?"
Floraughed coldly twice, naturally she would not believe it.
Leo shook his head, "Well then, there is a more direct way."
Leo took out his mobile phone and dialed the contact number of the patent agency, "If you Don’t
believe me, I can call the patent agency right now and ask the insiders to check the patent titles of my L
Group''s angel products."
"However, if a patent agency is involved, I can''t be so bored as to just go and make sure."
Leo looked at Flora with a smile, "I will report the matter of your giarism of L Group''s products to the
patent agency truthfully."
Looking at the faint smile on Leo''s face, Flora did not say anything, and even swallowed a mouthful of
saliva.
She even saw that Leo had already dialed the number of the patent agency.
Was it true that there was patent proof?
"No, he''s scaring me!"
Flora had studied psychology and the situation at the moment, where neither side had any evidence,
had entered the stage of a psychological game.
Whoever was afraid first would admit defeat.
"In that case, make the call."
Flora pretended to be calm and said, she wanted to see if Leo dared to make this call or not.
She thought the pressure had returned to Leo''s side, but to her surprise, Leo smiled and dialed the
number directly.
At once, Flora panicked and wanted toe and grab Leo''s phone.
"Give me the phone!"
With a dodge from Leo, Flora lunged and almost fell over.
Her face was white.
If Leo had really taken the matter to the patent agency, then the agency would have investigated the
matter thoroughly, regardless of whether there was a patent title or not.
Her Phantom Magic range was a rip-off of the Angel range.
There was no doubt about it.
"What? You''re scared?"
Leo narrowed his eyes at Flora andughed coldly.
With this reaction alone, Leo was basically certain that Flora was giarising.
At this moment, Flora''s face was filled with annoyance, "Don''t think I''m afraid of you, I just don’t want
my group to lose a lot of money."
"Isn''t that bad enough now?"
Leo smiled, "Dozens of chain shops under your banner have all closed down, and next month''s
turnover is expected to drop significantly. Unless you can be ruthless and close the market in Sallton,
Winham, and New Queennd and go to the northern cities."
"You ......"
Flora was overwhelming, how could she possibly go to a northern city for development?
"By the way."
Leo seemed to remember something else, and the smile on his face grew even bigger: "There is a big
problem with the quality of your products, right? Many consumers have had their faces disfigured after
using it, and if I call the product quality and safety agency, you''ll really be finished."
Leo fished out Riley''s number in his address book.
He had now been promoted and was involved in a little bit of all walks of life.
He would be happy to take over the matter.
Flora''s face was pale.
Whether it was a patent agency or a quality and safety agency, they would be over.
There was no doubt that Leo had pushed Flora to the brink, just a foot away from the precipice.
At that moment, the office door opened and the secretary came rushing in.
"Miss Fletcher, over 20 of our shops has been closed! The group has now entered a loss-making
situation!"
At once, Flora''s face turned pale, as if she had overdrawn her whole body, and she sat straight down
on the chair.
Leo lit a cigarette and said indifferently, "This is yourst chance. Break off the goods or not?
Otherwise, not only will your F Group go bankrupt, you will also go to jail."
When he spoke, Leo''s eyes had narrowed slightly, and a sharp edge swept through his eyes.
Flora''s face was ashen.
At this point, she could onlypromise.
"Give the order, we''re not doing the Phantom Magic range anymore and go to L Group to apologise in
person."
"What?"
The secretary''s face changed dramatically, "But how will we exin to the major shareholder ......"
As soon as the words ''major shareholder'' came out, Flora''s face was filled with panic and the secretary
herself realised that she had spoken out of turn and hastily covered her eyes.
Leo''s eyes narrowed dangerously, "What major shareholder?"
"Nothing ......"
Flora tried her best to cover up, "I''ve ordered the group to stop producing the ‘Phantom Magic’ series of
products, so don’t let my chain of shops go out of business!"
Leo took out his mobile phone and gave Ernie a call.
"Take it to the patent agency and the quality and safety agency and I want all their chains to go out of
business!"
