Chapter 236: Governing the country with justice and using troops with surprise

"Is there any way to bribe some lawyers in their legal team to get them to provide us with information?"

Johnston felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

He likes to have everything under his control.

Obviously, the current situation is not what 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 will the lawyer's future be lost, but the law firm where he works will also suffer heavy losses."

"So if we inquire about some information through some side channels, it is possible. It would be very difficult for the other party to directly betray the information."

Ovid did not dare to take this matter on himself that he was completely unsure of.

It would be embarrassing if something unexpected happened to the lawsuit.

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

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

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

"Now Nanshan needs to deal with more than just anti-dumping investigations in the bearing field. They also need to prepare for other cases at the same time."

"Despite the size of their legal team, they may not have much surplus manpower in the end."

Ovid said this, which made Johnston feel a little relieved.

At least this analysis is quite reasonable.

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

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

So Ovid hung up the phone without even looking to see who was calling.

However, the other party obviously had something urgent to do 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, just a few seconds after he answered the phone, he couldn't help but said loudly: "What? Nanshan sued us?"

"Say that our bearings infringe on their patent?"

"What? They are still looking to the U.S. Department of Justice to report us for violating antitrust laws again?"

"This is slander!"

"This is absolutely slander!"

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

However, the face of Johnston next to him began to look ugly.

Why does this company in Nanshan do things completely different from what you want every time?

Aren’t all Chinese companies very restrained?

Why does Nanshan give me a completely different feeling?

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

"I want to hear the latest situation right away."

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

In the current situation, he is obviously not in peace.

Soon, a group of them arrived at the SKF America branch in a depressing atmosphere.

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

The anti-dumping investigation of bearings has not yet yielded results, 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. Even if it is true, it can last for a long time, so there is no need to worry."

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

"Last year, the auto parts industry was abuzz due to the antitrust investigation. However, the main focus at the beginning was on those parts companies in Japan. We were only affected."

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

"At that time, it is likely to give the American judiciary a very bad impression, and they will feel 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 passivity."

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

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

“But from a patent perspective, some processes may really fall into patent disputes.”

"We have no way to completely prove that these things do not infringe Nanshan's patents, but it should be difficult for Nanshan to produce evidence that we directly infringe."

"It's still possible to drag it out until the other party can't bear it anymore."

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

What does it mean?

I sued SKF about my feelings, but I really didn’t sue?

Will SKF need to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to deal with these cases?

Is SKF torturing Nanshan, or is Nanshan tormenting SKF?

"Nanshan is now setting up a battle to deal with us. This situation is something we have never thought of before."

"But things have reached this point. Even if we want to change the plan, there is nothing we can do."

"Let the team of the legal department take action immediately and wait for a round in court first!"

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 the public opinion team to recruit a group of part-time staff from the foreign language departments of various universities. Are you ready for this work?"

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

Cao Yang was also ready to take the initiative.

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

"Part-time staff from the English, Japanese, German, French and Swedish departments have recruited more than 1000 people combined."

"Here we have also specially arranged a group of people who have been working with us for a long time to serve as liaison windows in the middle and 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, and they are available in various languages."

Although Zhang Fugui was not sure what Cao Yang would do next.

But he naturally knows what is going on in Nanshan now.

Obviously, the things Cao Yang arranged for him were related to the case in the United States.

"Let them follow their original plan and start to report on websites and forums in various countries such as the United States, Germany, France, England, Japan, and the Maple Leaf Country that SKF has once again fallen into an anti-dumping investigation. SKF has infringed on the Nanshan bearing patent. Love Various posts including letters suspected of violating U.S. antitrust laws."

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

"Especially when our products are widely installed on best-selling models such as Ford Motor and General Motors, we need to let as many consumers know about it as possible."

"Of course, don't stop writing articles for various websites and newspapers."

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

Cao Yang's surprise move is obviously to take the lead in public opinion, so that companies such as SKF, Aisin and Fanuc will be surrounded by public opinion and bear sudden pressure.

"no problem!"

"We have even prepared some inflammatory posts, hoping to stimulate some netizens to side with us and condemn international parts giants like SKF for bullying emerging companies from developing countries."

"Especially their unscrupulous infringement of our patents and violations of antitrust laws. We are prepared to publicize the truth and falsehoods to win more people to support us."

Zhang Fugui was very excited when he saw that what he had prepared for more than half a month was finally going to meet everyone.

If Nanshan can win this battle, it will be of absolutely extraordinary significance.

Even if it's a tie, it's still very representative.

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

……

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

"The price can be set higher until the employees of those companies are excited."

"However, remember to find a middleman to help, so that no one will know that we arranged for people to poach people randomly."

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

Nanshan doesn't really want to poach people from these companies, but he just wants to cause trouble for them.

Although the effect of doing this may not be very good, and it is not necessarily true that some people will change jobs.

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

After all, no matter what the job is, it ultimately requires people to do it.

If people's hearts are unstable, how can they do a good job?

"No problem, but we can entrust the first and second interviews to a headhunting company. If the show continues later, we may be exposed, otherwise the show will not continue."

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

However, she is very motivated and has a very clear purpose in her heart.

"It doesn't matter. In the worst case, we will arrange for 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 trouble-making opponents."

"If you can't get it with an annual salary of fifty thousand dollars, then you can get one hundred thousand dollars!"

"If one hundred thousand is not enough, then 20!"

"Anyway, we have to do it until they are excited!"

Cao Yang's purpose is very clear.

These special tricks are designed to achieve a surprise victory.

In all aspects, every little bit can achieve victory, and ultimately manufacturers such as SKF will be under tremendous pressure.

At that time, they looked at Nanshan like a hedgehog, and they might have to re-evaluate their approach.

……

"Chris, long time no see. I didn't expect you to have changed at all!"

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

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

As the two largest automobile companies in the United States, the influence of General Motors and Ford is unquestionable.

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

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

"How about it? I heard that you guys got into trouble?"

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

"It's a small thing, nothing to be afraid of!"

“We in Nanshan have been able to develop rapidly, and so far the asset load rate is far lower than the industry, relying on technology and cost competitiveness.”

“What some colleagues think they can’t do, they think others can’t do it too.”

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

Cao Yang's confident look surprised Chris.

At this time, shouldn't Cao Yang be busy dealing with the anti-dumping investigation of bearings, and the subsequent anti-dumping investigations of gearboxes, robots, presses and other products?

Why do you feel like nothing is happening at all?

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

"But from the perspective of the Ministry of Commerce, they are more concerned with evidence."

"Whether you, Nanshan, can produce evidence that convinces everyone, or evidence that everyone thinks can be believed, is probably a big question."

"Of course, you can also keep elevating the case to higher levels of court for trial, prolonging the matter for a long time."

"But the high cost cannot be ignored."

"So I suggest that you consider reconciling with the people at SKF. Let's discuss how to make the cake bigger and make money together."

When Chris said this, Cao Yang was quite surprised.

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

Now he is the one who wants Nanshan to cooperate with SKF.

What's the story here?

Is it possible that Chris has been bribed by SKF?

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

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

When Cao Yang said this, Chris was stunned for a moment.

Did Nanshan actually compromise so easily?

Judging from his behavior during this period, Cao Yang does not seem to be someone who compromises easily.
