1991 Starting from the core

Thanks to being at an important node of submarine optical cables, Hong Kong's international Internet speed is not generally fast.

After Su Yuanshan returned to Sun Xihui's residence, he sent an email to Yang Yiwen. He first asked about when the baby would be born, and then got down to business and asked Yang Yiwen to help recommend how to fight an anti-dumping lawsuit in the United States. Is there any good one? Case studies and team recommendations.

Domestic companies almost always admit defeat when receiving anti-dumping fines, and the hardest-hit areas are concentrated in raw materials... This is really the first time they have encountered this kind of electronic products.

…

San Francisco, a famous maternity center.

Because the child was fussy in her stomach, Yang Yiwen woke up at six o'clock, finished breakfast with the help of a caregiver, and then started walking in the backyard while holding her waist.

Not long after, she returned to her room and opened her notebook.

As the chief legal officer and founder of Xinghai, she doesn’t have to attend meetings or worry about business during her maternity leave, but she must read her daily emails and work briefings—otherwise, she might be blinded when she recovers.

"Hey...why are you sitting in front of the computer again?"

Just as she sat down, Tang Wenjie opened the door. Seeing her sitting in front of the computer again, he strode up to her and asked, "Do you understand radiation?"

Yang Yiwen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and scolded: "Get out of here! You, a science student, are more superstitious than me, a liberal arts student... Do you believe that I told Xiaoshan that you said Yuanxin's notebook has radiation?"

"Hey, there's nothing wrong with having less contact with electronic products anyway, right?"

Looking at her husband, whose IQ has dropped even more than hers since she became pregnant, Yang Yiwen sighed: "Fortunately, you got a doctorate, otherwise I doubt whether you can graduate successfully like this. "

As she spoke, Yang Yiwen opened her email client.

When she saw Su Yuanshan's email, she smiled knowingly - it seemed that this guy still cared about her.

"Xiaoshan's email?" Tang Wenjie also came over.

"Yes." Yang Yiwen clicked on the email. After a few glances, the smile disappeared from her face that had become slightly rounded. Then he frowned slightly.

Tang Wenjie was also startled: "Giant and Zhongxin are subject to anti-dumping? What kind of company is Giant? What does it care about Yuanxin?"

"Giant, like Zhongxin, is the next supplier of a complete set of mobile phone equipment solutions from Yuanxin, specializing in the low-end mobile phone route. It is doing very well in North America - coupled with the super-volume speakers, almost everyone in the black area has one .”

"... Then this anti-dumping lawsuit will have to be filed."

Tang Wenjie shrugged. He was a layman on the law, and according to the news he heard, it was difficult to reverse anti-dumping. And...as long as Yuanxin is not under anti-dumping or antitrust investigation, then he really has no intention to care.

But Yang Yiwen was different. She was keenly aware of something wrong.

Anti-dumping prosecutions are essentially complaints made by local companies against similar foreign products - to put it bluntly, they can't compete, so they need help from their parents.

If no one complains, parents will not take care of it.

So... here in the Lighthouse Country, there seem to be only two companies that make mobile phones. One MOTO, one Xinghai.

——It can’t be Xinghai that initiated the anti-dumping lawsuit, right?

Yang Yiwen's eyebrows furrowed deeper and deeper - if this is the case, it means that she, the executive director and chief legal officer of Xinghai... has been completely ignored.

After thinking about it, she took a deep breath and reached for her phone.

But when deciding who to call...she hesitated for a few seconds.

In the end, she called Carly directly.

…

Two hours later, Carly arrived at the prenatal center with Bol, who was currently in charge of the company's legal affairs.

"How long?" Carly pointed to Yang Yiwen's belly and put a bouquet of flowers into the vase.

"It's coming soon, a week at most." Yang Yiwen smiled and said to the vice president of legal affairs: "Boll, don't go back and talk nonsense."

Bol is a young man in his early thirties, who was Yang Yiwen's senior brother when she was studying in law school. Upon hearing this, Bohr shrugged and immediately sat on the chair.

Carly glanced at her watch and quickly got to the point.

"Wen, you should believe that the anti-dumping investigation was not initiated by us."

Yang Yiwen nodded: "Yes, we have no reason to initiate it. But it is undeniable that if high anti-dumping taxes are levied on these two mainland companies, all mobile phone manufacturers will benefit."

"I admit that. So I think we should cooperate with the International Trade Commission's investigation." After finishing speaking, Carly looked at Yang Yiwen seriously: "Wen, have you received the news from Mr. Shan?"

"No, he just asked me to recommend experts who should respond to anti-dumping lawsuits." Yang Yiwen said, opening her notebook and showing Su Yuanshan's email to Carly - she knew that although Carly's Chinese level was very poor, she could not continue to speak Chinese. Mengdai guessed that he could still see the general meaning.

Carly only glanced at it and turned her head, sighing in relief without leaving any trace.

She naturally knew that these two companies were the "gold medal thugs" that bought millions of baseband chips for Yuanxin every year - otherwise Su Yuanshan would not have gotten involved.

Therefore, Carly guessed that Yang Yiwen planned to implement Su Yuanshan's will and hoped to provide the Trade Commission with a report that was beneficial to Giant and Yuanxin during the antitrust investigation.

But... this would go against Xinghai's development will.

Fortunately, Mr. Shan didn’t.

"What about your opinion?" After a few seconds of silence, Carly looked at Yang Yiwen: "Let me remind you that we and Yuanxin are essentially related. Once we don't give a fair report..."

"Carly, let me also remind you that we and Yuanxin are essentially related. The cost of each integrated baseband chip has a share of the patent income that Xinghai deserves." Yang Yiwen said and looked at Bo Er: "Boll, how much are our patent profits?"

"As far as GSM technology is concerned, our contribution to Yuexin is 38%. Of course, our contribution to GPRS is less, only 27%."

Carly was startled for a moment, and quickly remembered that among Xinghai's patent income, one income did come from Yuanxin's patent share.

Yang Yiwen looked at Carly and said slowly: "Of course, the patent share is not high. But Carly... you should understand that even if there are no Giants and Zhongchi, there are still Sony, Samsung, LG, Nokia, Ericsson, Siemens... In a sense, the low-priced mobile phones of Giant and Zhongxin are not occupying our market, but their market! The biggest profit maker is not us, but them.”

"And...our products also have a market in mainland China. This is not a raw material field, but a product field."

Carly's eyebrows gradually stretched.

The reason why she made a mistake in judgment was because Yang Yiwen's phone call made her feel too sensitive.

As the chairman of Xinghai, she does not mind forming a community of interests with Yuanxin - whether it is from the foundation of Xinghai or the current development direction of both parties, the complementarity of both parties is the best choice.

But this does not mean that Xinghai must sacrifice its own interests for Yuanxin - especially for peripheral interest companies such as Giant and Zhongxin.

So, how is it different from a puppet?

Therefore, when Yang Yiwen called and mentioned the anti-dumping case, she subconsciously thought that Yang Yiwen was executing Su Yuanshan's will - so she rushed over in person to ask clearly.

So much information is missed and ignored.

After a few seconds of silence, Carly said softly: "This anti-dumping lawsuit was initiated by Lucent. They started producing mobile phone equipment at the beginning of the year."

"Obviously, they were instigated and instigated by certain companies."
