"Is there any way to bribe some lawyers in their legal team and 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 well?"

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 when he was about to say something more, Ovid's cell phone rang.

I was talking to my 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 as I hung 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 connected the phone, he couldn't help but said loudly: "What? Nanshan sued us?"

"Say that our bearings infringe 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, there is no need 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 unhappy.

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 on 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 judicial authorities 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 provide 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?

When Nanshan sued SKF in his relationship, was he really not suing?

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

Is it SKF that is torturing Nanshan, or is Nanshan torturing SKF?

"Nanshan has now set up a battle array 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 job?"

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.

"The English, Japanese, German, French and Swedish part-time staff have recruited more than a thousand people in total."

"Here we have also specially arranged a group of people who have cooperated with us for a long time to serve as the liaison window 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 of course he knew what was 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 reporting on websites and forums in various countries such as the United States, Germany, France, England, Japan, and Maple Leaf Country that SKF is once again involved in an anti-dumping investigation. SKF has infringed the Nanshan bearing patent. Love

Various posts including letters suspected of violating U.S. antitrust laws."

"At the same time, our Nanshan hard-working story of entrepreneurship 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 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 extraordinary significance.

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