Chapter 111 You hit yours, I’ll hit mine

Liu Tianwu still has certain confidence in Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd.

So after making a phone call to Cao Yang, I didn't get too entangled.

However, Cao Yang could not pretend that nothing happened.

Domestic companies have always been relatively resistant to lawsuits.

If you think you can avoid it, try to avoid it.

On the contrary, those international giants will meet in court if they disagree.

"Mr. Cao, SKF is an international giant in the bearing industry, and they have a strong legal team."

"Even if we really haven't infringed on other people's patents, this lawsuit cannot be taken lightly."

Although Pan Jinxing has just joined the job, he is still very concerned about Nanshan's future.

Originally, when he was at Shenyi Machine Tool Factory, he had seen his factory suffer huge losses due to infringement of other people's patents.

Now of course I don’t want Nanshan to fall into the pit again.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

"As a city with relatively developed international trade, Yangcheng has a lot of lawyers who are good at patent law."

"If it doesn't work, just invite some lawyers from Xiangjiang."

"Anyway, SKF is going to fight this case, and we will fight it to the end!"

Cao Yang is still very confident in his own bearing technology.

The products currently sold by SKF are obviously at least one generation behind their own products.

To say that Nanshan has infringed on their patent is absolutely unfounded.

"Actually, this is not just a question of whether to fight or not." Pan Jinxing struggled for a while and felt that it was still necessary to remind Cao Yang, "As long as we file a lawsuit with SKF, many people will take it for granted that we have violated SKF's rights.

patent."

"Even if we win the lawsuit in the end, it will be difficult to change this impression."

"This will have great disadvantages for our future business expansion."

“Shenyi Machine Tool Factory suffered a loss in this regard back then!”

Hearing what Pan Jinxing said, Cao Yang couldn't help but frown.

This also sounds very illogical.

But Cao Yang knew this was the truth.

In 2001, when all walks of life in China faced national giants, they always took it for granted that they were indeed inferior to others.

Once a patent lawsuit is involved, it is taken for granted that Chinese companies have infringed on other people's patents.

This situation really cannot be changed in a day or two.

"What you said makes sense."

"In that case, let the situation fall into chaos."

"Didn't SKF say that we infringed on their patent?"

"I think they also infringed on our patent."

"During this period, our legal department also applied for a number of bearing-related patents."

"Let them contact a law firm immediately and sue SKF for infringement of our patent."

Cao Yang knew that his ultimate move would take some time to be effective.

Before that, let’s muddy the water first.

At least we can’t let everyone think that SKF is suing Nanshan unilaterally.

"this……"

"This can be regarded as a method that is not a solution."

Pan Jinxing was stunned for a moment after hearing what Cao Yang said.

In the end, he had no better way.

Soon, the legal department of Nanshan Technology Co., Ltd. took action.

As the person in charge of the company, Cao Yang once again embarked on a flight to the United States.

2001 was a rather special year for the American automobile market.

In the past April, Ford Motor announced its first-quarter financial results.

Ford's global sales reached US$42.4 billion, net profit was US$1.06 billion, and earnings per share were 56 cents.

This one looks pretty good.

But look at the same period last year when sales were $42.9 billion, net profit was $2.08 billion, and earnings per share were $1.70.

Just know that Ford Motor's net profit fell sharply by 49% in the first quarter.

This still has the background of F150’s best-selling performance, otherwise it might not have declined by 49%.

At the same time, General Motors' first-quarter financial report was even less satisfactory.

Their net profit in the first quarter was US$237 million and earnings per share of 53 cents, a sharp decline of 87% from US$1.78 billion and 2.80 cents in the same period last year.

It is conceivable that the two world leaders and second eldest sons in the automobile industry are now inseparable brothers.

If the global auto industry were like this, forget it.

However, manufacturers such as Toyota, Nissan, Honda and Volkswagen all achieved increases in sales and profits in the first quarter of this year.

Especially for Toyota, even though it suffered from the impact of the "brake door", global sales have remained stable.

In this context, Cao Yang contacted Chris, the purchasing director of Ford Motor Company, and Austin, the purchasing director of General Motors, saying that he had a way to significantly reduce the procurement costs of the other party.

Chris and Austin, who were under great pressure, were naturally full of expectations for Cao Yang's arrival.

After all, Cao Yang had already brought them miracles.

"Mr. Cao, General Motors and Ford are competitors. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for us to invite the purchasing directors of both companies to discuss matters?"

"I think it's actually possible to visit separately."

This time we went to the United States with Zeng Tingting and Cao Yang.

Although it was different from the last time I went to trick Toyota, this time things were not exposed in any big way.

Therefore, it is safest to only bring Zeng Tingting.

Anyway, the little secretary already knows a lot of her secrets.

"This time, GM and Ford are facing similar situations. Our plan requires both of them to put pressure on the U.S. judicial department at the same time to achieve the best results."

"They don't mind meeting together, so we don't have to worry so much."

"At most, after this meeting is over, we can visit them separately."

"It just so happens that our wheel hub bearings have now gained momentum in China. The United States has been testing it for so long, and it's almost time for us to give an explanation."

Cao Yang was full of confidence at this time.

Before setting off, he had already carefully planned how to use his ultimate move this time to achieve the best effect.

Now we just have to wait for General Motors and Ford to proactively cooperate with their plans.

At that time, it will have the effect of killing two birds with one stone.

As for whether other parts giants other than SKF will be accidentally injured during this process, that is not something Cao Yang wants to worry about.

If you are upright, you are not afraid of slanted shadows.

If they don't do anything illegal or disciplinary, even if they are pushing hard behind the scenes, nothing will happen.

And as long as they do something they shouldn't do, even if they don't push it behind the scenes this year, the Americans themselves will find trouble with them in a few years.

I just brought this time forward.
