Chapter 676 responds to the lawsuit and files a case for investigation
"Well, you asked him to come over now. ”
Hu Yang could probably guess what was going on, he sat down in the office, took a sip of the tea made by Wu Xinhui, and was still thinking about last night in his mind.
At this point, his mind gradually cleared up, and many things from last night were vaguely remembered. It seems that after sending Su Tingting to the hotel room, the other party pulled him and didn't let him go, and he chatted for a long time.
I can't really remember what we talked about, and it is estimated that the two drunk people were also drunk.
Less than an hour later, Yi Jun arrived.
"Mr. Hu, I got reliable information that the application materials are ready to sue me. At the moment, they have appointed a lawyer and are collecting materials. ”
Yi Jun's face is a little ugly, and the other party's movements are also fast, right?
"Well, I found out about it yesterday. It doesn't matter, this kind of thing is a lawsuit that is a soldier to block the water and cover it, who is afraid of whom?
Yi Dong, you also have to move here, the other party sues us for nothing more than infringement. You know more about technical things than I do, and you can prepare the materials now.
As for hiring a lawyer, I'll let the North American side get started. We not only have to find a lawyer, but also a team of lawyers. ”
Populus euphratica has developed to this day, and I don't know how many lawsuits have been fought, but he has experience.
On the one hand, you have to come up with strong evidence, and on the other hand, you need to find an excellent lawyer team who is familiar with local laws.
To put it bluntly, a lawsuit is a matter of financial resources and time-consuming, and professional things must of course find the best team. Isn't it just spending money, poplar can afford to spend it.
"Mr. Hu, with your support, I have the bottom in my heart! Then I'll go and prepare first...... I'll keep you in touch if there's anything. ”
The control of Elbe's semiconductor equipment is actually still in Yi Jun's hands, and Hu Yang does not plan to directly intervene in the company's daily operations.
However, this time the lawsuit is obviously difficult for Yi Jun to settle by himself. That's why he hopes that Huijia will come out.
"Okay, go get busy, call if you have something. ”
Hu Yang politely sent Yi Jun to the elevator room, and as soon as he returned to the office, Xia Bing walked in after him.
Xia Bing is busy with the affairs of Dingcheng Precision Machinery, and these days he is in the Pudong company, and by the way, he handles daily official business.
She also heard the rumors, so she hurriedly came to find Populus.
"Boss, is it true that Applied Materials is preparing to sue Elbe Semiconductor Equipment? Hey, why is it so difficult for us to do something?"
Xia Bing sighed a lot, over the years, including the Yang Chenglin detention incident of Charm Semiconductor, the withdrawal of Mingkang Communications from the North American market, etc., Huijia has actually never stopped.
"What's so strange about this, what we are doing is to move other people's cheese! If we were engaged in low-end manufacturing, we would never have so much trouble! Mr. Xia, to be honest, these current encounters are still hors d'oeuvres, you have to be mentally prepared.
You just happened to be here, and I have something to discuss with you. Applied's lawsuit against Elbe Semiconductor Equipment is a foregone conclusion, and there is nothing to doubt about it. Yi Dong and I decided to respond to the lawsuit, and you will be responsible for hiring a lawyer in North America, no problem, right?"
Hearing Xia Bing's emotion, Hu Yang couldn't help but think of that time and space.
At that time, North America suppressed domestic high-tech companies much more severely than it does now. There are many thriving technology companies that have been put on the entity list, and only in terms of the business environment, it is called bad.
Where is it now......
"I don't have a problem, as long as I'm not afraid to spend money, we can hire any kind of good lawyer. ”
Xia Bing didn't care about continuing to sigh, and in the face of Hu Yang's assignment, he immediately made a guarantee. She is still relatively familiar with North America, and she doesn't even need to go out in person, she may be able to do it with a few phone calls.
"Well, that's what to do. You should start looking for a lawyer right away, I guess there will be a lot of money to be fought in this lawsuit. ”
Litigation over intellectual property rights is often protracted. Yi Jun has a hard time coping with it personally, but the Huijia department as a whole has many talents, and he is really not afraid of this kind of tug-of-war.
"Okay, boss. ”
Xia Bing nodded, ready to go back to deal with this matter. But at this moment, before she could finish her words, Hu Yang's mobile phone on the desk rang.
Hu Yang grabbed it and saw that it was Su Tingting calling, and he immediately pressed the answer button.
"Tingting, are you up? Have you eaten something?"
"I ate and now I feel better. Are you in the office? I just turned around, and I'm downstairs from you. ”
Su Tingting hadn't drunk so much wine for a long time, and the last time she got drunk was the day her father Su Cheng died.
At that time, she was far away overseas, and she didn't dare to return to her home, or even come back to mourn, so she could only use alcohol to numb herself.
And this time when she reunited with Populus euphratica, she untied the knot in her heart, and she was happy, but she was drunk again.
"Then you can come up, come directly to my office, and I'll have someone pick you up. ”
Hu Yang hung up, called Wu Xinhui in, and asked her to go downstairs to pick up Su Tingting.
Xia Bing wanted to leave just now, but she happened to hear the content of some phone calls, and she endured it for a long time but still laughed: "Boss, didn't you say that day, what I saw was definitely not Su Tingting?"
"Hehe, I said no, but it was. ”
Hu Yang smiled self-deprecatingly, but did not explain much.
"You're the boss, you're in charge. Since Tingting is coming up, I'll wait a little longer, say hello to her and I'll leave. ”
Xia Bing is no stranger to Su Tingting, not only is she not a stranger, but she is also very familiar.
At the beginning, when Huijia gradually withdrew from North America, it sold Ruipo, a subsidiary of Charm Semiconductor, to Su Tingting. And the plenipotentiary who went to North America to negotiate was none other than Xia Bing.
Hu Yang nodded, this is human nature, and it is impossible for him to object.
After about ten minutes, Su Tingting followed Wu Xinhui into the room.
"Tingting!"
"Sister Xia Bing!"
When the two women met again, people who didn't know thought they were good friends for many years.
Hu Yang and Su Tingting said hello and watched the two sit there chatting non-stop. After chatting for a full fifteen minutes, Xia Bing got up and left.
"Tingting, go to the tea room and sit down. I still have some good tea here, please try it. ”
Su Tingting nodded, followed Hu Yang to the tea room and sat down.
Wu Xinhui made tea for them, turned around and left, leaving the space for the two of them.
"Ah Yang, I didn't want to disturb your work. But I suddenly remembered one thing, about the lawsuit filed by Applied Materials, do you need me to help you find two good lawyers in North America?"
After Su Tingting woke up, she felt empty in her heart, and for some reason, she just wanted to see Populus euphratica.
So, she made an excuse for herself and came to the International Building unconsciously.
"Thank you, Tingting. The matter of finding a lawyer, I have just explained it to Mr. Xia. I'll talk to her when I get back and ask her to contact you if she needs any help. ”
Hu Yang did not refuse Su Tingting's kindness, but there is a high probability that there is no need to trouble others in this matter. Although Huijia has strategically retreated from North America, North American venture capital is still there, and there are still available people there.
Su Tingting nodded with a smile and changed the topic.
She returned to China this time, mainly because the things in Su Cheng had completely passed, and she was going to sweep her father's grave.
Another one, she wants to come back to see if there are any opportunities in China, she wants to invest in China, and the first place is the magic capital.
"Is Ripper still in your hands?"
Reper is a local company in North America, and it has indeed made a lot of contributions at the beginning of the development of Charm Semiconductor.
But later, Charm Semiconductor was suppressed, and Hu Yang was worried that the living environment of Huijia in North America would deteriorate, so he decided to retreat strategically.
At that time, Ruipo Company is a dispensable existence for Charm Semiconductor. It just so happened that Su Tingting was interested in this company, so Hu Yang sold it to the other party.
"When I took over Ripper, I was financed by two large companies. One of them, which you should be familiar with, is Lam Semiconductor.
Later, when Ripper went public on the NASDAQ, I was the fourth largest shareholder of the company. On the eve of the financial crisis, I transferred my equity, and the income was very good. ”
Su Tingting smiled, Ruipo Company is the foundation for her to gain a firm foothold in North America. Strictly speaking, she also has to thank Populus euphratica.
"Yes, have you thought of a new investment direction next?"
Hu Yang knew that Su Tingting wanted to invest in China, and he felt that he should still help her. Over the years, Su Tingting has not been easy...... She is her, Sioux City is Sioux City, and it cannot be mixed up.
"I haven't thought about it yet, let's take a look first. However, I am afraid that I will not be able to stay long this time, and I will be back to North America in a few days, and there is still a little thing that I need to go back to deal with. ”
Su Tingting shook her head, it wasn't that she didn't gain anything when she came back this time, but she still needed time to think about it carefully.
The two chatted happily, and before they knew it, it was time to get off work.
"What do you want to eat at night? Yesterday, I didn't bother to eat a good bite to eat, and I patronized and drank. ”
Hu Yang was a little reluctant, he should have controlled it yesterday, but he didn't. As a result, both men drank too much.
"What to eat?" I want to think...... Well, let's go eat Zhejiang food. ”
Hu Yang's invitation is in Su Tingting's hands, she can't stay in China for a few days, and she hopes to get together with Hu Yang more......
Three days later, Su Tingting and Xia Bing embarked on a voyage to North America together.
After Xia Bing contacted North America, he decided to go in person. It just so happened that Su Tingting was also preparing to return to North America, and the two partnered together.
Hu Yang personally sent the two to the airport, and when Su Tingting entered the security check, she kept looking back, and seemed to be a little reluctant.
Hu Yang waved his hand and turned to leave the terminal.
When I came to the International Building, as soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I saw Wu Xinhui anxiously wandering around the elevator.
"Assistant Wu, is something wrong?"
There is no need to guess what is definitely going on.
"Mr. Hu, just now Mr. Xu Younian, Mr. Xu, Mr. Zhang Xiao, Mr. Zhang, and Mr. Du of microelectronic equipment all called, saying that microelectronic equipment was investigated by the regulatory department. ”
Microelectronic devices not only issued an announcement today that they were investigated by the regulatory authorities, but also temporarily suspended trading for a week.
Wu Xinhui knew that the boss was going to the airport to see people off, she called Li Jie, and knew that Hu Yang was on her way back to the company, so she simply waited in the elevator.
Wu Xinhui feels that the impact of this incident may be great.
"Call Mr. Du immediately, I want to know the details. ”
Mr. Du is the newly mentioned general manager after Li Qi left microelectronic equipment.
Wu Xinhui immediately dialed Mr. Du's phone, and then handed the phone to Hu Yang.
"What's going on? Tell me about it. ”
Populus euphratica is a little inexplicable, microelectronic devices have always been operating in accordance with the law, how can they be investigated by the regulatory authorities?
"Mr. Hu, I'm also confused. We received a notice from the regulatory department before the market opened today, and then I asked the secretary of the board of directors to issue an announcement and apply for a temporary suspension of trading. Just now, the regulatory department called again, and the investigation team arrived soon. ”
Mr. Du only knew that there was such a thing, but the reason was not clear, and he was still waiting for the investigation team to come and ask people for an explanation.
"Well, you're cooperating with the investigation team. Mr. Du, you are busy first, if you have any new news, remember to tell me as soon as possible. ”
Hu Yang immediately hung up the phone, and then talked to Xu Younian and Zhang Xiao on the phone, and they were the same as Mr. Du, who knew why they didn't know why.
In the afternoon, the news gradually became clear.
The major shareholder of microelectronic equipment was suspected of manipulating the company's stock price in violation of regulations and was investigated by the regulatory authorities.
This major shareholder is Summit Capital. The two main people involved in this case, Wu Zunyou and Yang Hu, had already been taken compulsory measures a few days ago.
As for the other shareholders of the investigation company, it belongs to the scope of the fire at the city gate and the fish in the pond, and it is not that the regulatory authorities really have any evidence.
The investigation team stayed at the microelectronic equipment for only half a day before all of them were withdrawn.
They come to the company mainly to see the company's production and operation. Since everything is normal in the company, there is no need to investigate.
The major shareholders of microelectronic equipment, except for the peak capital capital, no one is involved in the speculation of the secondary market, to put it bluntly, this matter has nothing to do with everyone.
"Boss, there was a big sum of money at that time, and I bought about 10 million shares of the company. Later, the stock price of microelectronic equipment rose sharply, and then the distribution plan of 10 free 3 shares was carried out, and after the ex-rights, the rights were soon filled again.
Around the time of filling up the rights, there was a big amount of money that began to sell stocks of microelectronic devices. If you calculate from the price they entered at that time, the profit is very huge!"
According to Hu Yang's request, Yu Hongbo restored the truth of this incident from a professional point of view.
