Chapter 716: Counterattack
More than an hour later, Cai Siqiang came out of Old Man Liu's reception room, "Director Sun, thank you." Cai Siqiang saw Sun Hong and thanked him with a smile.
"Mr. Cai is polite, I can't help anything" Looking at Cai Siqiang's excited expression, Sun Hong said politely, "But I want to thank you for breaking the siege just now, or if you leave, the chief will beat me hard." Although Sun Hong said it politely, the next sentence added was to sit down his own feelings.
"When will Director Sun be free to inform my brother, let's find a place to sit?" Cai Siqiang knew it in his heart, so naturally he wouldn't just talk about it, "Old man Liu said, in the future, there will be things on my side to coordinate in the middle, but all of them will have to work with Director Sun." ”
If it's just the front, Sun Hong would be fine, but the latter sentence made Sun Hong's heart boil all of a sudden, this is Old Man Liu's willingness to hand over the matter of contacting Cai Siqiang in the future, for Sun Hong, who is worried about not being able to find any good opportunities, this is naturally a great joy, fortunately, he has been practicing by Old Man Liu's side for a long time, and his control of emotions is far beyond that of ordinary people, so he didn't show much joy.
"I'll rest tomorrow, I don't know when Mr. Cai is right, my brother will book a table in Marco Polo, where the Norwegian king crab is doing well." Sun Hong immediately said, it is rare for Cai Siqiang to come to Beijing once, and of course Sun Hong will not miss this kind of opportunity to make friends.
"Okay, I'll think it's noon tomorrow." Cai Siqiang was not hypocritical, and readily agreed. Mr. Liu's words just now made Cai Siqiang completely unexpected, but he had already promised Mr. Liu that there are many places where Sun Hong needs to be borrowed for what he wants to do next, and of course it will get twice the result with half the effort if he can build a good relationship.
Although Sun Hong is now in Cai Siqiang's eyes, the level of the deputy hall is no longer enough, but as a confidant by Old Man Liu's side, his appearance in many things is equivalent to Old Man Liu's appearance. What's more, Sun Hongcai is just in his early 30s, and now he has climbed to the deputy hall, backed by the big tree of Old Man Liu, and the future is also bright, not to mention anything else, it is very promising to go up to the provincial and ministerial level in the future.
The so-called long, Sun Hong is the star of hope who comes to rì, and Cai Siqiang will naturally not refuse such potential stocks.
The two have their own needs, a few words set the time and place for a detailed discussion, Cai Siqiang hurried away, and after a discussion with Mr. Liu, he has a lot of things to do, although SAL is now the global headquarters in Rongcheng, but in the capital also bought a more than 30-storey building, named SAL Building, as the office and administrative center of the capital, its major subsidiaries of the Beijing branch are concentrated here.
"This is a building related to the rejuvenation of our Chinese nation, Xiao Cai, now in order to successfully complete our two major goals, we need SAL in this crisis, to win morality, lose the lawsuit, lose the arduous task of the US market, cooperate with the country's foreign exchange surplus transfer, let the RMB smoothly internationalize, and then assume the vanguard role of the development of African resources, and become the leader in the economic field in the great cause of national rejuvenation!" Thinking of Mr. Liu's request, Cai Siqiang is always a little enthusiastic, being a man can do this part, what more can a husband ask for!
Therefore, for Mr. Liu's request to make SAL public, Cai Siqiang agreed, although from the company's current development, the current listing of the company is not necessarily the maximum choice of personal interests, because SAL still maintains a good cash flow and excellent products, with the characteristics of rapid development, and now facing the impact of bad news about the US market crisis, it will be greatly affected in the stock price valuation, so for the major shareholders of Duke and Cai Siqiang, Clearly not the right time.
However, compared to the future blueprint drawn by Old Man Liu, Cai Siqiang does not feel that there is anything wrong with the potential loss of one or two times the book wealth, and he believes that Duke and they will not care about this either. Because of SAL's current profitability, last year's global net income exceeded 240 billion yuan, cash flow on hand exceeded 600 billion yuan, and the asset situation is very good, with a low-end valuation of 15 times the price-earnings ratio, the market value of SAL will easily exceed more than 3 trillion yuan, so even if only five percent of Dong Feng and Zhao Jianwu are now held, their net worth is more than 100 billion yuan.
This number has greatly exceeded the net worth of most of the world's first-line rich, and it can be said that it will not be used up in a few lifetimes. Therefore, coming out of Mr. Liu, Cai Siqiang briefly talked about what he could say to Duke, Dong Feng and Zhao Jianwu, saying that the current situation is to make SAL public, Duke simply authorized Cai Siqiang to deal with it with full authority, Dong Feng and Zhao Jianwu have no opinion, they each have so many things at hand that they don't have the heart to care about these at all, for them, it doesn't matter if there is one more zero or one less zero behind the wealth, and the most important thing is that everyone is now engaged in the work they like.
This matter completely fell on Cai Siqiang, sorting out SAL's business, spun off irrelevant military industries, and integrating the company to meet the requirements of listing, this matter is simple to say, but it is still very complicated to do, plus several lawsuits with the Yankees, Cai Siqiang is actually very busy, there is no spare time at all, if it weren't for the appointment with Sun Hong, he would have flown back to Rongcheng a long time ago.
However, Cai Siqiang also has his own office in Beijing, and the SAL office has realized the networking of most of the work, so as long as it is not face-to-face communication, the work handled there is the same.
On the U.S. side, Liao Mengna, who is specifically responsible, has held a press conference to strongly condemn the article published by Time Magazine involving the reputation of SAL and Duke, and announced that it will use legal means to seek justice.
In the face of SAL's strong attack, the media that were originally prepared to follow up on the news of this explosion began to be cautious. It's not a good thing to be targeted by a giant company like SAL, and with SAL's deep pockets, not every media outlet can cope with the slightest carelessness and getting caught up in endless lawsuits.
As a result, most of the media did not follow up to further expose the so-called shady SAL and turned to the lawsuit initiated by SAL, as SAL filed a huge claim of up to $20 billion against Time Cycle, which SAL claimed was composed of the direct and indirect losses of Time Magazine's malicious attack on SAL and Dr. Duke, plus the penalty xìng compensation demanded for malicious slander.
Liao Mengna has organized a team of lawyers who can be called luxurious, and the top tort lawyer in the United States, Alain Brown. Led by Dewitz, they carefully analyzed Bob. After Erwin's article, he compared the information provided by SAL and argued that no matter who obtained the transaction data of SAL's investment fund companies obtained by Bob, even the news media had the most confidential detailed transaction data of these investment companies before the US court declared that the investment fund companies under SAL had determined that the transactions were illegal, and this was no longer the scope of news.
At this point, Bob and the editor-in-chief of Time Magazine are not unaware of this key order issue, but they believe that SAL is a company in a distant country, and half of the American people have a negative attitude towards this eastern country, so there has always been a broad market for criticizing and revealing secrets of this mysterious country, and if there is a lawsuit involving this eastern country, the jurors naturally have an attitude tendency, so the Chinese are far more constrained by lawsuits in the United States than the locals.
On the other hand, Bob's article seriously implicates Dr. Duke's involvement in the Apple backdoor incident and the Google satellite image fraud incident, and Bob has no first-hand direct evidence at all, everything is speculation, although the article is very implicit and does not directly point out that Duke is the hacker behind the scenes, but according to Alain. De Witz understands that Bob contextually associates Duke with hackers in the public perception to form a de facto logical connection.
So Alain argues that if Bob can't produce direct evidence against Duke, then that constitutes de facto defamation.
Alan is the top infringement lawyer in the United States, and the infringing company he handles has almost never lost, and he has a strong logic in court debates, and has a strong influence on the jurors of the American court.
Generally speaking, even in the United States, when encountering similar incidents, they are not willing to offend the press to death at once, after all, in the United States, which has a high degree of news, they can really be regarded as the uncrowned king, and any lawsuit that has a tendency to challenge the news will receive great attention from the public and the press, making things very complicated.
But just as they did not follow the usual practice of informing SAL in advance, SAL was not interested in settling privately and initiated legal proceedings.
And for this lawsuit, after carefully studying the SAL case, Alain. Devicz is confident that he will win the case, although the final award may not be as large as the claim.
The first shot of the SAL counterattack was fired.
