Chapter 35

Liu Fan asked Lawyer Zhang to contact the other party first to learn more about the situation.After comforting Li Bing for a while, it can be seen that Li Bing is really blaming himself.But it really can't be blamed on others, Liu Fan is still sensible.

Later, when I went to the office and was about to search the Internet for similar incidents, my cell phone rang, and it was Sun Xia who had just been charged.

"Hey Mr. Liu, are you busy now?"

"It's okay, brother Sun, do you have any orders?"

"Don't, don't, I can't afford to tell you. I just heard that your company seems to be in some trouble. If necessary, we should be able to provide some help."

Liu Fan's heart moved, and he leaned forward instinctively in a cautious mood, "What kind of trouble is Brother Sun talking about? Our company has been in quite a lot of trouble recently."

"Hey, Mr. Liu can't imitate our honest people. It's so uncomfortable to always speak in such a hidden way. Of course I'm talking about GSCT." Sun Xia on the other end of the phone smiled and said.

Liu Fan was silent for a while, but decided to ask out the doubts in his heart, and joked, "Brother Sun, how did you find out about this so quickly? You shouldn't be able to find it online, right?"

"Hahahaha." Sun Xia let out his signature laugh, "Mr. Liu, the circle is so big, you can fall into the sea in just two steps, so you can't let me feed the sharks in the sea?"

Sun Xia's words were very cryptic, but Liu Fan already understood what he meant, and knew that it would be a bit ignorant to ask any further questions, so he returned to the topic and asked, "Brother Sun, are you familiar with this GSCT?"

"I'm not familiar with it, I've never heard of it." Sun Xia said frankly, "But I'm very familiar with their methods."

"So Brother Sun also thinks they are touching porcelain?"

"Nine times out of ten." Sun Xia paused and said, "Actually, they are very demanding in finding targets, and you were lucky enough to catch up."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"Commercial contact or blackmail itself is also blackmail, which is illegal, so they have to meet a few basic criteria when looking for targets.

For example, the company cannot have too much backing, otherwise it will be easily counterattacked. It is best to be a start-up sole proprietorship.Also, the company must be in the period of rapid development, because at this time the company is most likely to compromise for its own development. The six-month preferential policy you recently launched for agents is in line with their standards. Of course, there are similar company products The line is single, the company boss has little qualifications, etc. In short, it is not easy for you to be selected by them. "Sun Xia joked.

"But he has no evidence at all, so why would he dare to do this?" Liu Fan said angrily.

"You can't afford it. Suspension of business for adjustment, handing over core technology to provide evidence, etc. Which one do you think you can accept now? He really has no evidence to prove that you have broken the law. The problem is that you have no evidence to prove that you have not broken the law. ah.

To put it bluntly, he just disgusts you, so what can you do? "

After being explained by Sun Xia, Liu Fan became even more angry, "Brother Sun, do you have any good ways to deal with this kind of rascal?"

"I don't have that ability." Sun Xia laughed at himself, "However, some of our company's lawyers are professional in this area. They have seen many companies that are extorting money. If you need, I can arrange for you to meet. You can entrust the case to them."

Liu Fan calmed himself down, thought carefully for a while and then responded, "Brother Sun is interested. Then I will go and find out the details of the matter. If necessary, I will ask Brother Sun to help me more."

"You are welcome, we are all friends, there is no need to be so ostentatious. Oh, by the way, I have investigated this company for you, and I will send all the information to your email in a while. According to the information, there is also information on the information that was blackmailed by them before." You may be able to learn from some of the list of companies you have passed.”

"Thousands of words, all in one thank you."

"Okay, then I won't bother you for now, call me anytime you need it."

"OK, bye."

Liu Fan didn't directly ask for Huawei's help, or he wouldn't ask for it unless he had no choice. If someone helps you once, you owe them a favor. Liu Fan has understood this since he was a child.

Although Sun Xia made it very clear to himself, Liu Fan still checked the relevant consultation on the Internet, wanting to know more details.

At noon the next day, lawyer Zhang hurried to Liu Fan's office.

"Are you in touch?" Liu Fan asked He Lin directly after making a cup of tea.

Lawyer Zhang nodded and breathed smoothly at the same time.

"What did the other party say?"

"The other party agrees to a settlement, as long as we agree to pay 100 million yuan." After Zhang finished speaking, he shook his head angrily. "It can be seen that they have already thought of everything."

"It seems that it can be further confirmed that it is commercial extortion." Liu Fan whispered to himself, and then asked, "Lawyer Zhang, what suggestion do you have now?"

"Mr. Liu, I must admit that this kind of case is not my strong point. If Mr. Liu wants to accompany the other party in this lawsuit, I can recommend the right person for you. After all, we have a clear conscience, and the final result must be in our favor. It’s just this process.” Lawyer Zhang paused, “As the company’s legal counsel, I shouldn’t say such things, but from a practical point of view, I think it’s better to think clearly about the stakes.”

"Lawyer Zhang, I want to ask you a question. Is this kind of commercial extortion common?"

"As far as I know." Lawyer Zhang shook his head, "You must know that the other party is also bearing great risks. Once their behavior is identified as commercial extortion, according to the laws of the United States, this company and its legal person It's over."

"So I was really lucky once." Liu Fan laughed at himself. He had to say that the other party's time was really good, and he might produce a lithography machine a few months later. At that time, they didn't dare to provoke themselves even if they had their guts.

Liu Fan and the lawyer fell silent at the same time, and after a while, He Lin knocked on the door suddenly and came in.

"what's up?"

He Lin trotted to Liu Fan's side, and then showed Liu Fan the phone, "IBM's phone."

"IBM?" Liu Fan glanced at his phone in confusion, "Why are they calling me at this time?"

But when the phone calls came, Liu Fan didn't think too much, and answered first, "Hello."

"Hi, Mr. Liu." Luo La's voice was on the other end of the phone, and the other party spoke some English, and then an interpreter said to the phone, "Mr. Does Mr. Liu have time to show off?"

Liu Fan hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

After hanging up the phone, He Lin suddenly asked cautiously, "Boss, they couldn't have messed up what happened this time, could they?"

He didn't deliberately hide Liu Fan's rejection of IBM, so many people in the company knew about it.

Liu Fan glanced at He Lin, shook his head and said, "The possibility is very small. It is too self-deprecating to do such a thing with IBM's size and strength."

"Then why is it such a coincidence to find you at this time." He Lin looked very angry.

Seeing this, Liu Fan felt quite warm in his heart. The employees of the company still had feelings for the company, "I don't know, I'll see you at night and we'll talk about it."

The timing of IBM's appearance is indeed a bit coincidental, but Liu Fan still thinks that this matter was not done by IBM
 Tonight I suddenly feel a little bit emotional about the new year, I hope the world can be gentler to everyone who struggles.
