Life at the Top

Conrad glanced at Valentine. The latter nodded and gestured to the few reporters they had bribed in advance.

One of them stood up and asked Jasper, “Mr. Laine, since your company has such an outstanding product, I’d like to ask if you have the related patent rights?”

The question stunned all the reporters.

He was right. No matter how outstanding Mellow was or how it called itself an MP4, there was no changing the fact that it was derived from the MP3 player. That meant there was no escaping the issue of patent rights.

Everyone fell silent and they turned to Jasper, waiting for his reply.

However, the one who spoke was the same reporter who asked the question. They were evidently proud of the effect their question had brought about and asked another question, “Mr. Estrada from Melody Electronics has already explained just now that they’ve received patent rights from Mr. Damond Golding in Coreana. Melody Electronics is the only company within the country with exclusive rights to manufacture the MP3 player. So, Mr. Laine, could you tell us how Mellow decides to tackle this problem?”

Everyone was watching both Jasper and Chad. Their every word and expression would surely be released in the newspapers and reported by news stations tomorrow. As such, they had to be extremely careful of what they said.
