Rebirth 99 to become a car giant.

Chapter 236

"Is there any way to buy some lawyers in their legal team and ask them to provide us with information?"

Johnston felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

He likes a situation where everything is under his control.

Obviously, the current situation is not quite the same as he imagined.

"It's hard!"

"After all, we are not a local company in the United States. Their management of lawyers is very strict. Once there is a betrayal of the employer, not only the future of the lawyer is gone, but the law firm where he works will also suffer heavy losses."

"So if we can inquire about some news through some side channels, it is possible to let the other party sell the news directly, I am afraid it will be very difficult."

Ovid didn't dare to take this matter that he was completely unsure of to himself.

It would be embarrassing if something unexpected happens in the lawsuit.

"We contacted manufacturers in other fields to initiate an anti-dumping investigation against Nanshan. Is the progress going well?"

Now that he knew that Nanshan was going to take it hard, Johnston naturally hoped to have more allies.

"It's been relatively smooth. Although not every manufacturer is willing to get involved in this kind of case, manufacturers such as Aisin and Fanuc, which have suffered a lot, are very active in promoting anti-dumping investigations in the United States."

"Now what Nanshan needs to deal with is not only the anti-dumping investigation in the bearing field, they also need to prepare other cases at the same time."

"Don't look at the huge size of their lawyer team, but in the end it doesn't necessarily mean that there will be a lot of surplus manpower."

What Ovid said made Johnston slightly relieved.

At least this analysis makes sense.

However, just as he was about to say something more, Ovid's cell phone rang.

I was talking to the leader, so naturally I couldn't answer the phone.

So Ovid didn't even look at who was calling, and hung up the phone directly.

However, the other party was obviously looking for something urgent with him.

Just after hanging up the phone, the ringtone rang again.

Hang up again!
Ring again!
Johnston couldn't stand it anymore, and said, "You answer the phone first!"

The big boss has spoken, so he naturally wants to listen.

However, within a few seconds after he connected the phone, he couldn't help saying loudly: "What? Nanshan sued us?"

"That our bearings infringe their patent?"

"What? They are still looking for the US Department of Justice to report our violation of antitrust laws again?"

"This is slander!"

"This is absolutely slander!"

Ovid vented his anger on the other end of the phone.

However, the complexion of Johnston next to him also started to look ugly.

Why does Nanshan company do things completely different from what I think every time?

Aren't Huaxia's companies very restrained?
Why does Nanshan give me a completely different feeling?

"Ovid, you don't need to go to the hotel later, go directly to the company!"

"I want to hear the latest situation immediately."

Johnston is not a workaholic, but when he needs to work, he can't lie down at all.

In the current situation, he is obviously not level.

Soon, a group of them came to SKF America branch in a depressing atmosphere.

They began to discuss how to deal with Nanshan's counterattack.

The anti-dumping investigation of the bearing has not yet been concluded, and SKF itself has fallen into a new lawsuit.

"For things like patent litigation, let's not talk about whether what Nanshan said is true or not. Even if it is true, it can be discussed for a long time, so there is no need to worry about it."

"But we need to pay attention to the antitrust investigation."

"Last year, the auto parts industry was full of excitement due to anti-monopoly investigations, but at the beginning the main focus was on those parts companies in Japan, and we were just affected by it."

"However, if Nanshan actively pushes the U.S. Department of Justice to launch an antitrust investigation against us this time and provides so-called evidence, it will be very detrimental to us."

"At that time, it is likely to give the judiciary of the United States a very bad impression, thinking that we are challenging their authority."

"So I suggest that the company should attach great importance to this case related to Nanshan, so as not to fall into a passive position."

Johnston listened to the analysis of Cruise, the legal director of SKF America Branch, with a serious face.

"Our technical team also urgently confirmed the contents of several patent infringements that Nanshan sued us, although we can be sure that the technologies and processes we use are all independently researched by SKF."

"However, from the perspective of patents, some processes may really be involved in patent disputes."

"We have no way to fully prove that these things do not infringe Nanshan's patents, but it should be difficult for Nanshan to produce evidence of our direct infringement."

"It's still possible to procrastinate until the other party can't take it anymore."

Hearing this statement, Johnston's mood became even worse.

What does it mean?
Emotional Nanshan sued SKF, really did not sue?

Wouldn't SKF need to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to deal with these cases?
Is SKF tossing Nanshan, or is Nanshan tossing SKF?
"Nanshan is now setting up a battle to deal with us. This situation is something we didn't expect before."

"But things have come to this point, we just want to change the plan, and there is no way."

"Let the team of the legal department act immediately, and let's talk about it after a round of tossing in court!"

When Johnston said this, he didn't seem very confident.

He had a hunch that the ending might not be so ideal.

……

"Uncle, I asked you to arrange for people from the public opinion group to recruit a group of part-timers from the foreign language departments of various universities. Are you ready for this job?"

In a few days, the case of Nanshan Bearing's anti-dumping investigation will be held for the first time.

Cao Yang is also ready to take the initiative to attack.

It's not his style to be beaten passively all the time.

"The part-time staff of the English, Japanese, German, French and Swedish departments have recruited more than 1000 people."

"In it, we also specially arranged a group of people who have been cooperating with us for a long time as the middle contact window, who can act at any time."

"Ayang, the posts and articles you asked me to prepare are almost ready."

"There are hundreds of articles in various styles, in various language versions."

Although Zhang Fugui wasn't sure what Cao Yang's next move was going to be.

But what's going on with Nanshan now, he naturally knows very well.

Obviously, the matter Cao Yang arranged for him was related to the American case.

"Let them follow the original plan and start posting on the websites and forums of various countries such as the United States, Germany, France, England, Japan, Maple Leaf, etc. SKF is involved in an anti-dumping investigation again. Letters suspected of violating US antitrust laws and other posts.”

"At the same time, the story of our hard work in Nanshan will also start to be publicized on overseas websites."

"Especially the large-scale deployment of our products on popular models such as Ford Motor and General Motors, let as many consumers as possible know."

"Of course, don't stop contributing to various websites and newspapers."

"Most of the companies that are suing us this time are not local companies in the United States. These media should be happy to join in the fun."

Cao Yang's surprise move obviously wanted to attack the public opinion first, so that companies such as SKF, Aisin and FANUC fell into the siege of public opinion and suffered sudden pressure.

"no problem!"

"We even prepared some inflammatory posts, hoping to stimulate some netizens to stand on our side to condemn SKF, these international component giants, and bully emerging companies from developing countries."

"Especially their unscrupulous infringement of our patents and violations of anti-monopoly laws. We are going to make a big publicity about it, so as to win more people to support us."

Zhang Fugui was also very excited when he saw that he was finally going to meet everyone after preparing for half a month.

If Nanshan can win this battle, the meaning will be extraordinary.

Even if it is a tie, it is very representative.

This battle was also the one with the greatest impact since the establishment of Nanshan, and even among Huaxia's foreign cases.

……

"Mi Ying, you contact some headhunting companies and ask them to come forward to recruit people from SKF America, Aisin America and FANUC America."

"The price can be set higher, so that the employees of those companies are tempted."

"However, you remember to find a middleman to help, and don't let people know that we arranged people to poach people randomly."

After Cao Yang finished the phone call with Zhang Fugui, he immediately arranged for Mi Ying to continue.

Nanshan didn't really want to poach people from these companies, but was purely trying to make trouble for them.

Although the effect of doing this may not be very good, it may not be true that someone will change jobs.

But as long as people's military spirit is messed up, the effect will actually come out.

After all, no matter what kind of job it is, it needs people to do it in the end.

If people's hearts are unstable, how can they do their work well?
"No problem, but we can entrust headhunting companies with one side and two sides. If we continue to perform the show later, we may be exposed, or we will not be able to continue the show."

Mi Ying was also very busy during this time, helping to coordinate Cao Yang's various official and personal affairs.

However, she was full of energy and had a very clear purpose in her heart.

"It doesn't matter. If it's a big deal, arrange someone to register a new bearing company, and then it will be registered in the name of an offshore company."

"Our purpose is to mess up the mentality of the employees of these opponents."

"The annual salary of [-] US dollars can't be dug out, then [-]!"

"If 20 is not enough, then [-]!"

"Anyway, let's get them excited!"

Cao Yang's purpose is very clear.

These special tricks are to achieve the effect of winning by surprise.

In all aspects, every little bit can win, and finally SKF and other manufacturers will bear enormous pressure.

At that time, they looked at Nanshan who looked like a hedgehog, and they probably had to reevaluate their approach.

……

"Chris, long time no see, I didn't expect that you still haven't changed at all!"

When he came to the United States, Cao Yang naturally wanted to contact the people from General Motors and Ford Motors.

Although these cases have nothing to do with them, all parties involved in the case are suppliers of these auto companies, so Cao Yang absolutely believes that Chris already knows about this matter.

As the two largest auto companies in the United States, the influence of GM and Ford is beyond doubt.

Cao Yang naturally hopes to use them to put further pressure on all parties and make things develop in a direction that is beneficial to him.

"Cao, I haven't changed much, but you have changed a lot every time we meet."

"How about it, I heard that you guys have something to do?"

Chris seems to have forgotten that he had discussed the Nanshan Bearing anti-dumping case with Mays.

"A little thing is not enough!"

"Our Nanshan can develop rapidly, and the asset load ratio is far lower than the industry so far, relying on technology and cost competitiveness."

"Some colleagues think that what they can't do, they think others can't do it either."

"The facts will tell them that the world has changed and they have to wake up."

Chris was quite surprised by Cao Yang's confident expression.

At this time, shouldn’t Cao Yang be dealing with the anti-dumping investigation of bearings, and the anti-dumping investigation of gearboxes, robots, presses and other products that will follow?
Why do you feel like nothing is going on?

"Cao, I believe what you said may be true."

"But from the perspective of the Ministry of Commerce, they pay more attention to evidence."

"Whether you Nanshan can come up with convincing evidence, or evidence that everyone thinks is credible, this is probably a big question."

"Of course, you can also continue to elevate the case to a higher level of court for trial, procrastinating this matter for a very long time."

"But the high cost of it cannot be ignored."

"So I suggest that you consider reconciling with the people from SKF. We discuss how to make the cake bigger and make money together."

When Chris said this, Cao Yang was quite surprised.

It was Chris who previously switched the bearings on the Ford transmission to Nanshan.

He is also the one who wants Nanshan to cooperate with SKF now.

What happened here?
Could it be that Chris has been bought by SKF?

"Chris, we have always advocated fair competition and obeyed the rules."

"We don't mind developing together with partners. In fact, I think it is not impossible to cooperate with SKF."

When Cao Yang said this, Chris froze for a moment.

Did Nanshan compromise so easily?
Judging from the posture during this time, Cao Yang doesn't look like someone who is so easy to compromise.
