Chapter 700 Breaking with HSBC

Chapter 700 Breaking with HSBC
"Ayang, the lawsuit between Applied Materials and Elbe Semiconductors has already had preliminary results and will be announced in a few hours.

According to the information I got, the ruling of the first instance was unfavorable to Elbe Semiconductor, and the court partly supported Applied Materials' claim. "

On the phone, Su Tingting told about the first-instance results of the lawsuit between Elbe Semiconductor and Applied Materials.So far, the results are not very favorable for Elbe Semiconductor.

"Tingting, thank you for telling me the result."

Hu Yang pondered for a moment, then thanked Su Tingting with a smile.Up to now, things have basically not exceeded Hu Yang's expectations.

"Ayang, what are your plans? Are you planning to appeal?"

Su Tingting is very concerned about what action Hu Yang will take in the future, and she is pessimistic about the appeal.

"Of course we have to appeal! The result of the first trial was better than we expected. I hope that we can go further in the second trial."

Hu Yang does not intend to compromise with Applied Materials. These North American semiconductor giants make a lot of money from the domestic market, but they are the most active in suppressing the domestic semiconductor industry.

This is also easy to understand. The semiconductor industry is actually regarded as a taboo in North America. If you want to touch other people's cheese, they will naturally fight you desperately.

If you don't want to be suppressed by North America at the low end of the industrial chain, you have to make a concerted effort to upgrade technology.Other than that, there is no other good way.

"Ayang, I can't go back recently. If you have anything to do in North America, just tell me. I think I can still help you a little bit."

Su Tingting did not hit Populus euphratica. Everyone has their own principles and methods of doing things, so she doesn't need to say too much.

"Okay, thank you! Remember to call me before you come back next time, so I can pick you up at the airport. Hang up if you have nothing else to do, and contact me when you are free."

Hu Yang put down the phone, and hurriedly called Xia Bing, regardless of his emotions.The purpose is to let her immediately notify the North American lawyer team so that they can prepare in advance.

"Mr. Xia, you should inform Elbe Semiconductor later, and ask them to make more solid technical evidence, and we will try to make a complete comeback in the second instance."

Unlike Su Tingting's pessimism, Hu Yang is full of confidence in the outcome of the lawsuit.

For North America at this stage, advanced technology is the foundation of a strong country, and the other party dare not blatantly confuse right and wrong in a lawsuit involving this kind of technology patent.

If North America really did this, what would Europe think?What do East Asian countries think?What would the rest of the world think?
So, the other party still needs to work hard on face.

The most critical point is that the technical route taken by Yi Jun, the founder of Elbe Semiconductor, is not the same as that of Applied Materials.It is far-fetched for the other party to insist on technical patents.

This is an important reason why the court of first instance only supported Applied Materials, a small part of the claims.

Even if the first instance clearly favored applied materials, the judgment did not dare to go too far.

Xia Bing understood Hu Yang's intention and immediately called to arrange the next stage of litigation.The lawyer team in North America, as long as the legal fee is in place, the professionalism and work attitude are still impeccable.

This lawsuit has caused a lot of noise in the media around the world.

However, Elbe Semiconductor, led by Yi Jun, has not been disturbed by the outside world. The company's 28nm plasma etching machine has already won the first order from Nucom International.

after a few days.

Xia Bing came to Hu Yang's office and specifically reported to him about the lawsuit in North America.

"The lawyer team in North America has formally filed an appeal, and it will enter the second-instance procedure in about a month.

I have already contacted Mr. Yi from Elbe Semiconductor. People from their company's legal department have flown to North America. I will provide them with all necessary help. "

"Okay, you have done your best on this matter. Mr. Xia, the next lawsuit will definitely be protracted. I will let Mr. Yi and the people in the legal department take care of it."

After all, it is Elbe Semiconductor's lawsuit, and Xia Bingyue can't let Xia Bingyue take care of everything.

Hu Yang then called Yi Jun and expressed his opinion.

"Mr. Hu, this is our business. Mr. Xia is only helping us. I know this very well.

We are now concentrating on doing our own things well, especially continuing to make breakthroughs in technology.The company has now started the research and development of the next generation of etching equipment, you will hear our good news. "

On the phone, Yi Jun talked with Hu Yang about the company's current research and development progress, and he was full of confidence.

Hu Yang then chatted with Yi Jun for a few more words before hanging up.

"Okay, Mr. Xia, you can put aside the affairs in North America for a while and go to your own affairs. In addition, our Hong Kong dollar account in Xiangjiang will be transferred from HSBC immediately."

Hu Yang has deep prejudices against HSBC, the most important of which is the issue of security.Before Huijia International invested in overseas business, part of the settlement was settled through HSBC channels, which was also convenient at the time.

But the situation is different now. North America has stepped up its pressure on Huijia.At this time, it is necessary to cut off the contact with HSBC in time to avoid any trouble from the other party.

Xia Bing nodded and said: "Okay, boss, I understand. I will go to Xiangjiang at noon and let them deal with this matter immediately."

Regarding the security of funds, Hu Yang and Xia Bing had a lot of discussions, so there was no need to explain too much.Xia Bing took the order and rushed to Xiangjiang at noon.

She did not return to the deep sea until the afternoon of the third day.

"President Xia, is everything going well?"

At this time, Hu Yang had just come out of the gym and saw Xia Bing when he returned to the office.

"It's a little bit troublesome, but overall there's nothing wrong with it. Boss, I've had people investigate carefully in Xiangjiang these two days, and some of our customer information has really leaked out. I guess this matter must have nothing to do with HSBC. It doesn't matter, unfortunately I didn't find enough evidence."

Xia Bing got angry when she mentioned this, but she couldn't do anything.

HSBC has been operating in Xiangjiang for a hundred years, which can be said to be deeply rooted.Even with the strength of the Huijia family, they can't help the opponent for the time being.

Fortunately, Hu Yang has always been wary of HSBC. The company's accounts in Xiangjiang are relatively scattered. Even if the other party wants to play tricks, they can't grasp many useful things.

"Mr. Xia, let's put this matter aside for now. If we can't deal with them for now, it doesn't mean we won't be able to deal with them forever. So, let's do our own things first, and everything will be done with more attention."

Hu Yang knew very well that now is not the time to settle accounts with the other party.

On the one hand, he does not have so much energy, and the main conflict at this stage is still facing the problem of comprehensive suppression in North America.

On the other hand, the time is not yet ripe. He firmly believes that for such unscrupulous enterprises, there will be a day when the accounts are settled after the fall.

"Yeah, when we have the ability, we must not let this guy go. By the way, boss, I heard that Li Kailong plans to withdraw from the domestic market in a planned way. I don't know if it is true or not?"

When Xia Bing went to Xiangjiang this time, he not only transferred the Hong Kong dollar account of Huijia International Investment from HSBC, but also greeted all the companies related to Huijia.

For example, Mingkang Communications actively responded to Xia Bing's proposal and also transferred the account.Others such as Xintong International, Charming Electronics, etc. have also taken the same action.

As for Brother Xiaoma's Deep Sea Soaring, we don't know the opponent's choice yet.However, with Hu Yang's influence, it was only a matter of time before they transferred the account.

In this way, HSBC will definitely hate the Huijia Department.

However, neither Xia Bing nor Hu Yang will worry about this.What the hell, you can sell your client's information, can't we respond?

Regarding Li Kailong's situation that Xia Bing said, Hu Yang knew a little bit: "It can't be said that it is withdrawing from the mainland market, but it is true that Li Kailong has started to sell real estate in the mainland under his name."

Speaking of Li Kailong's family history, there is actually a lot of information in it.The most important point is that when Lao Li was empty-handed and white wolf, HSBC spared no effort behind it.

The stock price of HSBC has dropped a lot recently, and I heard that the other party's international business is being investigated by both Europe and North America.I just don't know if Li Kailong's withdrawal of funds from the mainland has anything to do with this matter?

"Hmph, ready to sneak out after earning enough money? It's really cheap for him. Boss, I have nothing else to do. I'll go down first."

Xia Bing was also very busy with work. After reporting the situation in Xiangjiang to Hu Yang, she immediately left Hu Yang's office.

Hu Yang sat on the chair alone, thought for a while, and felt that Li Kailong's withdrawal of capital from the mainland was difficult to make a fuss about, so he chose to give up resentfully.

The relationship between him and the Li family is already like this, as long as there is a chance, both parties will be happy to trip each other up.

Of course, if there is no suitable opportunity, the two sides will not just find trouble to fight.According to Lao Li, everyone is just a businessman, talking about business.

At the end of the year.

The domestic new generation mobile communication development plan was officially approved.According to reliable news, after the turn of the year, 4G licenses will be issued first in China.

Therefore, everyone believes that next year will be the "first year of 4G" in China, and the 4G standard formulated by Mingkang Communication has become the biggest winner.

Although domestic 4G network construction will not exclude foreign technical standards and equipment.But judging from the progress, Mingkang Communication has been at the forefront of the world, even if this advantage is not reflected very much.

Now Gao Mingkang is almost too busy to touch the ground.

In addition to communication equipment, another important field of the company is chip design.The "Ruiyi Semiconductor Company", which was spun off from Mingkang Communications, not only designs mobile phone chips, but also baseband chips, radio frequency chips, etc.

During this period, Ruiyi Semiconductor's main attack direction is system integrated chips.That is, the integration of mobile phone chips and baseband chips can not only reduce power consumption, but also reduce the size of the chip.

"Mr. Gao, don't be too tense in your mind. You should rest or rest. I called you just to play golf with you in the afternoon. Will you come?"

Hu Yang heard several people tell him that Gao Mingkang is too risky, and this will not work.So, he took the time to call Gao Mingkang and asked him to play golf.

"Hey, okay. It just happened to be a bit too busy at this time, and the whole person was a little groggy. Then, let's meet at the golf club at three o'clock in the afternoon."

Gao Mingkang won't refute whoever's face, and he won't refute Populus euphratica's.Although he was a bit reluctant to return, he did not reject Hu Yang's proposal.

After hanging up, Hu Yang smiled helplessly.In the critical period before this kind of technological breakthrough, Gao Mingkang resumed his true nature of "technical nerd", and almost rarely left the company.

The weather in the afternoon was fine. Populus euphratica and Gao Mingkang were playing golf leisurely on the green lawn.

The two of them are actually similar, and they have no special preference for the sport of golf.It's just that playing golf can make people relax, so this "noble sport" has become a repertoire for the two.

"Mr. Gao, according to the current situation, this is the first time in China that temporarily leads all competitors in mobile communication technology. What are your considerations for the future development? Do you still want to take all the upstream and downstream?"

While playing basketball, Hu Yang chatted with Gao Mingkang about the development of Mingkang Communications.

Since the development of Mingkang Communication, it has been constantly changing.From the earliest PHS, to communication equipment, to smart phones, chip design, etc.

Mingkang Communication accidentally extended upstream and downstream at the same time.

Hu Yang's words are to remind Gao Mingkang that enterprises must have a clear positioning.Maybe you are developing in a big and comprehensive direction like S star, or maybe you choose a few strengths and focus on development.But no matter what, you must have your own plan.

"It's a bit embarrassing for me to do everything. Star S has never been my goal. But the reality is that the whirlwind of suppression in North America will soon blow on our heads. I have no choice.

Therefore, my plan is to focus on communication equipment and chip design, and focus on solving the problem of stuck necks.As for the mobile phone, because we have Charm Electronics, I don't need to invest too much resources. "

It cannot be said that the smart phones of Mingkang Communication are not well done, after all, they are the top ten mobile phone brands in the world.

But this one is just like this, it has always been tepid, and the market share and other indicators are not as good as Charming Electronics.

Gao Mingkang's statement shows that he still wants to treat this matter in a "Buddhist style", and will neither give up nor over-invest.

Hu Yang nodded, he could understand Gao Mingkang's painstaking efforts.

Mingkang Communication mainly produces high-end phones, and the main market is still Europe, but it doesn't want to compete too much with Charming Electronics.

Charm Electronics' smart phones, almost all of the key components are purchased from Mingkang Communications, and the profits are huge.

Mingkang Communication has already benefited, so there is no need to compete with its biggest customer, let alone we are still a family.
