According to the police of the Economic Investigation Brigade of Nanming Public Security Bureau, in May last year, Laoganma Company discovered that there was lobster sauce in a local supermarket. Although the brand and packaging are different, their tastes are highly similar.
After investigation, the company suspected of stealing such technology has never set foot in this field and has no such research and development capabilities. Laoganma Company has never transferred the manufacturing technology of such products to any enterprise or individual.
The police filed an investigation and focused the investigation on Jia, a retired employee of Laoganma Company. It is reported that Jia has a bachelor's degree. From April 20, 2003 to October 5, 2003, I worked as a technician and engineer in the quality department of Laoganma Company. Because of the need of work, I have mastered the core confidential information such as proprietary technology and production technology of Laoganma Company.
According to the disclosure, these core technologies involving company secrets include the production technology and raw material ratio of douchi. In addition, the police found that Jia had another reason to be seriously suspected. During his tenure as an old godmother, Jia was fined half a year's salary for violating company regulations. Jia, whose previous monthly salary was nearly 10,000 yuan, saw her salary drop sharply to two or three thousand yuan. Jia was unhappy and resigned from the company.
During the Spring Festival this year, Jia was arrested in a residential area in Guanshanhu District. The police seized a large number of internal materials involving the business secrets of Laoganma Company in their hard disks and computers. Jia confessed that he lost his financial resources after leaving his job. Because of the need to make a living, he took the initiative to find a job in a food processing factory in Huaxi, and said under the pseudonym of "self-recommendation" that he could improve the technology of fermented soybean meal, control the cost and improve the taste at the same time.
According to Jia's confession, after he joined the company, he finally succeeded in three improvement experiments. The "out-of-the-cabinet" fermented soybean is not only highly similar in taste to Laoganma, but also cheaper in 2 yuan. According to the account, about 3 months, 1 0,000 copies of douchi were produced.
According to the police investigating the case, the amount involved in the case10 million yuan was audited by professionals. On the one hand, due to the leakage of trade secrets, similar products went on the market, and the sales volume of Laoganma's same product was compared with the same period last year. On the other hand, considering the impact on the professional equipment on the production line, after accounting,10 million yuan was finally determined.
