Rebirth 99 to become a car giant

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

So after making a phone call to Cao Yang, he wasn't too entangled.

However, it is impossible for Cao Yang to act as if nothing happened.

For a long time, domestic companies have been relatively resistant to litigation.

Avoid as much as possible if possible.

On the contrary, those international giants will see each other 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 did not infringe 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 in Shenyi Machine Tool Factory, he had seen his own factory infringe other people's patents, and suffered a lot.

Naturally, he didn't want Nanshan to fall into the pit again.

"Don't worry, I know it well."

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

"If it doesn't work, please hire some lawyers from Xiangjiang."

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

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

As far as the products SKF currently sells are obviously behind their own products by at least one generation.

To say that Nanshan infringed their patent is absolutely nothing.

"Actually, this is not just a question of whether to fight or not." Pan Jinxing struggled for a while, and felt that it was 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, this impression will be difficult to change."

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

"Back then, Shenyi Machine Tool Factory had suffered in this regard!"

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

It also sounds illogical.

But Cao Yang knew that 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 the Huaxia company has infringed on other people's patents.

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

"What you said also makes sense."

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

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

"I think they're violating our patents, too."

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

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

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

Before that, let's muddy the water first.

At least it should not make everyone feel 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 Cao Yang's words.

In the end he had nothing better to do.

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

As the person in charge of the company, Cao Yang set foot on the flight to America again.

2001 was a special year for the American auto market.

In the past April, Ford Motor announced its financial report for the first quarter.

Ford Motor's global sales reached 42.4 billion US dollars, with a net profit of 1.06 billion US dollars, or 56 cents per share.

This income seems to be quite good.

But look at sales of $42.9 billion, net income of $2.08 billion, and EPS of $1.70 in the year-ago period.

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

This is still due to the background of the F150's best-selling, otherwise it may not have fallen by 49%.

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

Their first-quarter net profit was $237 million, or 53 cents per share, down 87% from $1.78 billion and 2.80 cents in the same period last year.

It is conceivable that the world's No. 1 and No. 2 in the auto industry are now brothers and sisters.

If only the global auto industry was like this, so be it.

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

Especially for Toyota Motor, even under the influence of the "brake door", global sales have remained stable.

In this context, Cao Yang contacted Chris, Purchasing Director of Ford Motor, and Austin, Purchasing Director of General Motors, and said that he had a way to significantly reduce the purchase cost of the other party.

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

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 ask the purchasing directors of their two companies to discuss things together?"

"I think it's actually okay to come and visit separately."

This time going to the United States, it is also Zeng Tingting and Cao Yang.

Although it was different from the last time I went to cheat Toyota, this time the matter was not exposed in a big way.

So it is safest to bring only Zeng Tingting.

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

"This time, the situation faced by GM and Ford is similar. Our plan requires both of them to put pressure on the US judiciary at the same time to achieve the best results."

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

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

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

Cao Yang was full of confidence at this moment.

When he set off, he had already carefully planned how to use this big move to achieve the best effect.

Now wait for General Motors and Ford to take the initiative to cooperate with their own plans.

At that time, it will play the role of killing multiple birds with one stone.

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

The body is not afraid of the oblique shadow.

If they don't do illegal things, even if they push hard behind their backs, nothing will happen.

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

I just moved this time forward.
