Not long after Aimee finished talking to the three big bosses, DT sent all the information they had in their hands.

Just looking at that pile of information, it's a mess. The big bosses talk about the factory, which sounds like a legal entity, but in fact, it is not at all!

The name of the factory is just a name that Wenbo is used to, but in fact, it is intertwined by a large number of affiliated enterprises. If you go to court, you won't even know who the lawsuit is about.

The shareholders of these affiliated enterprises are mixed, and there are people from all sides, and the legal representatives and shareholders on the surface of this group of enterprises have nothing to do with Tao Qizuo, the actual controller mentioned by the big bosses.

The core business of Gerry's entrepreneurship over the years is to help large companies solve troubles, such as intellectual property cases (commonly known as "anti-counterfeiting") and internal illegal audits (commonly known as "catching ghosts").

As a police officer, whether it was when he was in Youjia or serving his current customers, he has seen a lot of cases, but after looking at the information and introduction of Aimee in front of him, he really has no bottom at all.

Although Aimee has sorted out the ins and outs of the whole thing and the goal of solving it clearly, it is really difficult to really grab the more than 1,000 sets of molds.

"Aimee, you may not know much, in the course of handling cases for so many years, I know where this factory is located, and the forces are intertwined. It has long been open to Hong Kong businessmen and encouraged them to invest and set up factories on the mainland, but the Hong Kong side alone will have the right road and the gray road forces, and there will also be a mix of local powers at all levels, which is very complicated and completely impossible to start. ”

"Even if you have the courage to go to Tiger Mountain, I really don't know which mountain this is and how many tigers there are."

"I've been friends with you for so many years, and I'll tell you the truth: don't take over this matter, there's really no way to take care of it." This is Gerry, whom Aimee met, and for the first time he said he couldn't help it, and for the first time he said not to take it.

"Gerry, there is a specialization in the art industry, and if you can't even say you can't do it, it must be very tricky."

"Don't try to help me, your company is supposed to provide this kind of service for enterprises, if this is what you are facing, will you do it?"

In the past, Gerry had a helpful attitude towards Aimee, every time Aimee paid him, he was embarrassed to charge, and in the end, Aimee forced him to pay him a sum of money according to his own ideas.

Aimee actually doesn't know how to charge for his business, but even if he refers to the payment standards that Youjia gave to similar service providers many years ago, this kind of hard, tiring, high-risk, and thankless work is naturally very expensive.

Gerry held the case note in both hands, looked back and forth carefully for a while, and said firmly: "If I can help you, I will definitely help." But this case is too complicated, and my ability is limited, so I really can't do it. ”

At this point, Aimee couldn't force him anymore, so Aimee picked up the thermos pot on the conference table and added tea to him: "Then let's just gossip and discuss, okay?" ”

As soon as Gerry heard this, the whole person relaxed, leaned back in the chair, and slowly drank tea: "Then let's talk casually, where we talk." ”

"It's people, no matter how difficult things are, there are always key people. Gerry, who do you say is the key person in this case? ”

"This, without your statement of the case, really can't be seen. But with your analysis, I think it's obvious, it's Tao Chizo. ”

Yes, as to whether the key person is Tao Qizuo, the big boss mentioned in the conference call that Wenbo and him have been working together for many years, but whether the actual controller is him or not, at least from the face of all written documents, it is impossible to determine. If Tao Chizo is just a puppet, even if he is found, it will be useless, no matter what, he has to dig up the person who really has the final say.

Aimee's two A4 sheets of paper and illustrated analysis convinced Gerry that Tao Qizo was indeed the actual controller hidden under all the documents.

"Great! If you also believe that this basic judgment is not wrong, the road ahead will be easy! Aimee's delightful tone made Gerry curious.

"Aimee, you always have great ideas, what do you think is the way forward?"

As long as Gerry is interested and wants to go down this path, Aimee sees hope! She turned on the computer and quickly launched the mind map:

"The bell must be tied to the bell, and if we want to solve the problem, we have to start with the key person Tao Qizuo."

She typed a huge word "Tao", and then began to analyze: The biggest problem now is that this "Tao" has ignored any communication proposed by Wenbo, and only wants money.

Why didn't "Tao" cooperate at all?

From a human point of view, there are three possibilities:

1. He is a good type, believing that the cause of the loss of the factory is not his unilateral fault, and he is emotionally, morally and operationally unacceptable to the Germans who have given up cooperation halfway, and thinks that it is reasonable for him to offer monetary and material compensation. Emotional injury leads to a tough attitude and negative emotions;

2. He is not a good type, and there is indeed a phenomenon of deceiving the German side, creating fake losses, and enriching his own pockets in his business. The current non-cooperation is the continuation and amplification of its "evil", taking advantage of German decision-makers who do not understand Chinese and Chinese laws and policies, make a last-ditch effort, obtain more material benefits, and may use various improper means to threaten to deal with this matter in the future;

3. He is in the middle of the two possibilities of 1 and 2: there is a situation of using cooperation with the German side for personal gain, but his nature is not evil, and he has a deep affection for the factory he founded and operated for nearly 20 years, and he is reluctant to give it up. There may be aggressive actions that scare people, but they do not hurt others.

According to the feedback from Wenbo and "Tao" after many negotiations, they believe that "Tao" is the second type: greedy, unreasonable, and using the resources of their own factories on the mainland for many years to intimidate those who come forward to deal with the problem.

In view of the above three situations, the ideal state is to deal with the third type of person on the premise that "Tao" is the second type of person. In view of the fact that the German side has completely lost trust in "Tao" and no longer wants to have any cooperation with it, it is impossible to retain the cooperative relationship with "Tao" and let the factory continue to operate in the existing joint venture state.

Aimee continues to analyze:

Suppose "Tao" is the second type of person, what will he do?

1. Refuse to meet with us and refuse to communicate with us;

2. Set up all kinds of obstructions in the factory, and we are not allowed to enter the factory;

3. Even if we enter the factory, all departments and personnel of the factory do not cooperate at all, refuse all questions, refuse to hand over all documents or seals;

4. Using violence to harm personnel we dispatch.

Aimee's speech speed is like flowing water, sometimes turbulent, sometimes like a spring, sometimes flat and slow, listening to Gerry's heart is surging, ups and downs. But he is so careful and cautious, he has rejected this case again and again.
