Chapter 700: Break with HSBC
Chapter 700: Break with HSBC
Chapter 700 broke with HSBC
"Yang, the lawsuit between Applied Materials and ElbSemiconductor, which has preliminary results, will be announced in a few hours.
According to the information I received, the first-instance ruling was against Elbe, and the court partially upheld Applied Materials' claim. ”
On the phone, Su Tingting told the results of the first trial of the lawsuit between Elbe Semiconductor and Applied Materials. At the moment, it seems that the results are not very favorable for Elbe.
"Tingting, thank you for telling me this result. ”
Hu Yang pondered for a moment, then thanked Su Tingting with a smile. So far, it has basically not been unexpected by Populus euphratica.
"Ah Yang, what are your plans? Are you still ready to appeal?"
Su Tingting is very concerned about what actions Hu Yang will take in the future, and she is pessimistic about the appeal.
"Of course, we have to appeal! The result of the first trial is even better than we expected, and I hope that when the second trial is held, it will go further." ”
Hu Yang does not intend to compromise with applied materials, these North American semiconductor giants do not make less money from the domestic market, but they are the most vigorous in suppressing the domestic semiconductor industry.
This is also easy to understand, the semiconductor industry is actually regarded as a ban in North America, and if you want to move other people's cheese, people will naturally fight with you.
If you don't want to be suppressed by North America at the low end of the industrial chain, you can only achieve technological upgrading. Other than that, there's not much else to do.
"Ah Yang, I can't go back recently, if you have anything to do here in North America, just tell me. I think I can still help you a little. ”
Su Tingting didn't crack down on Populus euphratica, everyone has their own principles and methods of doing things, and she doesn't need to say too much.
"Okay, thank you, before you come back next time, remember to call me first, I can pick you up at the airport." If there's nothing else to do, I'll hang up first, and I'll contact you when I'm free. ”
Hu Yang put down the phone, didn't care about what he was feeling, and hurriedly called Xia Bing. The goal was for her to immediately inform the North American legal team so that they could prepare in advance.
"Mr. Xia, you are going back to inform Elbe Semiconductor, so that they can make the technical evidence more solid, and we will strive to completely turn the tables in the second instance. ”
Unlike Su Tingting's pessimism, Hu Yang is full of confidence in the outcome of the lawsuit.
At this stage, for North America, advanced technology is the foundation of a strong country, and when it comes to a lawsuit involving this technology patent, the other party does not dare to openly reverse black and white.
If North America does this, what will Europe think? What will East Asian countries think? What will the rest of the world think?
Therefore, the other side still has to work on the other side.
The most critical point is that the founder of Elbesemiconductor, Yi Jun, takes a technical route, which is not the same thing as applied materials. The other party insists on technology patents, which is actually very far-fetched.
This is an important reason why the court of first instance upheld only a small part of the claims of the applied material.
Even if the first instance was clearly biased towards applied materials, the judgment did not dare to go too far.
Xia Bing understood Hu Yang's intentions and immediately called to arrange the next stage of the lawsuit. The lawyer team in North America, anyway, as long as the lawyer's fee is in place, the professionalism and work attitude are still impeccable.
This lawsuit has caused a stir in the media around the world.
However, Elbe Semiconductor, led by Yi Jun, has not been disturbed by the outside world, and the company's 28nm plasma etching machine has won the first order from Xintong International.
A few days passed.
Xia Bing came to Hu Yang's office and reported to him about the lawsuit in North America.
"The lawyer team in North America has officially filed an appeal, and it will enter the second-instance trial process in about a month.
I have already contacted Mr. Yi of Elbsemi, and the people from the legal department of their company have flown to North America, and I will provide them with all the necessary help. ”
"Okay, you've done your best. Mr. Xia, the next lawsuit will definitely be protracted, and I will let Mr. Yi and the people in their legal department worry more. ”
After all, it is a lawsuit of Elbe Semiconductor, and Xia Bingyue cannot be allowed to do anything.
Hu Yang then made a phone call to Yi Jun and said his opinion.
"Mr. Hu, this is originally our business, Mr. Xia is just helping us, I know this in my heart.
We are now focusing on doing our own thing, especially to continue to break through in technology. The company is now working on the next generation of etching equipment, and you'll hear good news from us. ”
On the phone, Yi Jun and Hu Yang talked about the company's current research and development progress, and he was full of confidence.
Hu Yang then chatted with Yi Jun for a few more words, and then hung up.
"Okay, Mr. Xia, you can put aside the affairs in North America for the time being and go about your own business. In addition, our Hong Kong dollar account in Hong Kong will be transferred from HSBC immediately. ”
Hu Yang has a deep prejudice against HSBC, and one of the main ones is the issue of safety. In the past, part of Huijia International Investment's overseas business was settled through HSBC's channels, which was also convenient at that time.
But the situation is different now, and North America has increased the pressure on the Huijia system. At this time, it is necessary to cut off contact with HSBC in time, so as not to make any moths on the other side.
Xia Bing nodded and said, "Okay, boss, I understand." I will go to Xiangjiang at noon and let them deal with this matter immediately. ”
Regarding the security of funds, Hu Yang and Xia Bing have discussed a lot, but they don't need to explain too much. Xia Bing took the order and rushed to Xiangjiang at noon.
She did not return to the deep sea until the afternoon of the third day.
"Mr. Xia, is things going well?"
At this time, Hu Yang had just come out of the gym and saw Xia Bing when he returned to the office.
"It was a little bit of trouble, but overall nothing was wrong. Boss, I have asked people in Xiangjiang to investigate carefully in the past two days, and our customer information has really leaked out. I reckon that HSBC has nothing to do with this matter, but unfortunately I didn't find enough evidence. ”
Xia Bing became angry when she talked about it, but she couldn't do anything.
HSBC has been operating in Hong Kong for 100 years, and it can be said that it has deep roots. Even with the strength of the Huijia system, they can't help the other party for the time being.
Fortunately, Hu Yang has always been wary of HSBC, and the company's accounts in Xiangjiang are relatively scattered, and even if the other party wants to make ghosts, he can't catch many useful things.
"Mr. Xia, let this matter go for a while. Just because you can't help them for the time being doesn't mean you can't help them forever. So, let's do our own thing first, and we can do everything with multiple hearts. ”
Hu Yang knows very well that now is not the time to settle accounts with the other party.
On the one hand, he does not have so much energy, and the main contradiction at this stage is still facing the problem of comprehensive suppression in North America.
On the other hand, the time is not yet ripe, and he firmly believes that for this kind of unscrupulous enterprise, there will be a day when the accounts will be settled after the autumn.
"Well, when we have the ability, we must not let this guy go. By the way, boss, I heard that Li Kailong is preparing to withdraw from the domestic market in a planned manner, and I don't know if it's true or not?"
Xia Bing went to Xiangjiang this time, not only transferred the Hong Kong dollar account of Huijia International Investment from HSBC, but also greeted all the enterprises related to Huijia.
For example, Mingkang Communication actively responded to Xia Bing's proposal and also transferred the account. Others, such as Xintong International, Charm Electronics, etc., have also taken the same action.
As for Brother Xiaoma's deep-sea take-off, I don't know the other party's choice for the time being. However, with the influence of Populus euphratica, it is only a matter of time before they transfer out of their accounts.
In this way, HSBC will definitely hold a grudge against the Huijia system.
However, neither Xia Bing nor Hu Yang will worry about this. In particular, you can sell the customer's information, can't we react?
Regarding Xia Bing's situation with Li Kailong, Hu Yang knows a little: "It can't be said that he withdrew from the mainland market, but Li Kailong began to sell the real estate in the mainland under his name, which is true." ”
Speaking of Li Kailong's family history, there is actually a lot of information in it. The most important point is that the old Li empty gloves and white wolves have been supported by HSBC sparing no effort behind it.
HSBC's share price has fallen quite a bit recently, and I heard that the other party's international business is being investigated in both Europe and North America. I just don't know if Li Kailong's withdrawal of funds from the mainland has anything to do with this matter?
"Hmph, you're ready to slip away when you've made enough money? Boss, I'll go down first if there's nothing else to do. ”
Xia Bing's work was also very busy, and after reporting the situation to Hu Yang, she left Hu Yang's office immediately.
Hu Yang sat on the chair alone, thought for a while, and felt that it was difficult for Li Kailong to make a fuss about the withdrawal of capital from the mainland, so he chose to give up stupidly.
The relationship between him and the Li family is already like this, as long as there is an opportunity, both parties will be happy to stumble on each other.
Of course, if there is no suitable opportunity, the two sides will not have nothing to do and fight. According to Lao Li's words, everyone is just a businessman, talking business.
End.
The domestic development plan for a new generation of mobile communications was officially adopted. According to reliable sources, after the turn of the year, it will be the first to issue 4G licenses in China.
Therefore, everyone believes that next year will be the "first year of 4G" in China, and the 4G standard formulated by Mingkang Communications has become the biggest winner.
Although the construction of domestic 4G network will not exclude foreign technical standards and equipment. But from the perspective of progress, Mingkang Communication has been at the forefront of the world, even if this advantage is not very big.
Now Gao Mingkang is almost so busy that his feet don't touch the ground.
In addition to communication equipment, the company also has an important area of chip design. The "Ruiyi Semiconductor Company", which was spun off from Mingkang Communications, not only designs mobile phone chips, but also includes baseband chips, RF chips, and so on.
During this time, the main direction of Ruiyi Semiconductor is system integration chips. That is, the integration of mobile phone chips and baseband chips can not only reduce power consumption, but also reduce the size of the chip.
"Mr. Gao, don't tighten the strings in your head too tightly, you should rest or rest. I called you, I just want to go play with you in the afternoon, can you come?"
Hu Yang heard several people tell him that Gao Mingkang was too desperate, and it was not okay to go on like this. So, he took the time to make a phone call to Gao Mingkang and asked him to come out to play golf.
"Hey, okay. It just so happened that this time was indeed a little too busy, and the whole person was a little groggy. So, let's meet at the golf club at 3 p.m. ”
Gao Mingkang refutes anyone's face, and he will not refute Populus euphratica's face. Although he was still a little reluctant, he did not refuse Populus Hu's proposal.
hung up, Hu Yang smiled helplessly. Every time there is a critical period before this technological breakthrough, Gao Mingkang has returned to the true character of a "technology nerd", and he rarely leaves the company.
In the afternoon, the weather was good, and Hu Yang and Gao Mingkang stood on the green lawn, leisurely playing golf.
Both of them are actually similar, and they don't have a special preference for golf. It's just that playing golf is very relaxing, so this "aristocratic sport" has become a reserved program for the two.
"Mr. Gao, according to the current situation, this is the first time in China that it is temporarily ahead of all opponents in mobile communication technology. What do you think about the next development? Do you still want to eat both upstream and downstream?"
While playing ball, Hu Yang chatted with Gao Mingkang about the development of Mingkang Communications.
Since the development of Mingkang Communication, in fact, it has been constantly changing. From the earliest PHS, to communication equipment, to smart phones, chip design...... Wait a minute.
Mingkang Communication is careless, and at the same time it is extending upstream and downstream.
Hu Yang's words are to remind Gao Mingkang that enterprises must have a clear positioning. Maybe you will develop in the direction of the big and comprehensive S star, or maybe you will choose a few strengths to focus on. But in any case, you must have your own plan.
"It's a bit difficult for me to do everything, and the S star has never been my goal. But the reality is that the whirlwind of suppression in North America will soon blow on our heads, and I have no choice.
Therefore, my plan is to focus on communication equipment and chip design, focusing on solving the problem of stuck neck. As for the mobile phone, because we have attractive electronics, I don't need to invest too many resources. ”
Mingkang Communication's smart phone cannot be said to be bad, after all, it is one of the world's top ten mobile phone brands.
But that's it, it's always been tepid, and various indicators such as market share are not as good as charm electronics.
Gao Mingkang's statement shows that he still wants to treat this matter "Buddhist", and will neither give up nor overly invest.
Hu Yang nodded, and could understand Gao Mingkang's hard work.
Mingkang Communication mainly produces high-end machines, and the main market is still Europe, but it doesn't want to compete too much with Charm Electronics.
Charm Electronics' smart phones, almost all of the key components are purchased from Mingkang Communications, which is very profitable.
Mingkang Communication has already received benefits, so there is no need to compete with its biggest customers, not to mention that everyone is still a family.
