When Huang Ligong heard Ling Yuanruo's good news, his first reaction was to keep it secret.
"Top Secret!" He immediately told Liu Fei and Liu Ruiyang, "You must not let the seventh person know." Whoever it is, my dad came and told him that the patent lawsuit was about to kill Xiao Huang. ”
Liu Fei understands that the fat brother will come to the door at any time, and he can't make any extraneous branches.
Huang Ligong thought about it and hurriedly added, "No, it's not enough." "What if the fat brother just calmed down, or because of some accident he tied his hands and feet, and didn't have time to react? The progress of the patent lawsuit is not under his control, once the fat brother grinds to the point that the lawsuit is clear, it is Huang Ligong himself who is passive. "Osmanthus, magnify the move, give him bad news, and force him to move."
Liu Fei immediately turned the bad news into the ears of the secretary of the board of directors of Leyang Industry. This secretary of the board of directors is not very good-tempered, a few days ago, when the stock price of Leyang Industry fell sharply again, he also called Huang Ligong to ask about the crime, why didn't he inform him in time of such a big matter as a patent lawsuit? He has already been questioned by the regulatory authorities. Huang Ligong was in the middle of it, replied to him with three words, asked the fat brother, and hung up the phone. Of course he has confidence, every bad news in the patent lawsuit, every place where it costs money, and some not, he informed the fat brother in advance, and the fat brother only felt that he was taking the opportunity to spend money, and he still spent dollars, and he was reluctant, and he had to coerce and lure him to let go.
Sure enough, the call arrived quickly. Huang Ligong picked it up and took a look, but it was Wang Ziqiang.
"Mr. Huang, the dream ...... of Huapu"
"It's come true?" Huang Ligong kept this in mind and hurriedly asked.
"Please come to Shanghai to participate in the celebration and witness together."
Huang Ligong flew to Shanghai, a five-star hotel in Huapu Industrial Park, and the opening was a press conference, and Huapu acquired Kukai. As soon as he heard this simple sentence, Huang Ligong had goosebumps on his body. Kukai, one of the four major families of industrial robots, now belongs to China. Sure enough, it was a crazy dream, and it came true. Next is the celebration reception, looking at the full hall of gentlemen and ladies, the wine swaying, and seeing Wang Ziqiang receiving the tide of congratulations and greetings in the crowd, Huang Ligong still has a strong sense of unreality.
When Wang Ziqiang finally had some leisure, Huang Ligong picked up the goblet and walked towards him.
"That's what dreams are!" Huang Ligong raised his wine glass and said sincerely, "I only understand now what it means for veterans to be immortal." ”
Wang Ziqiang pinched Huang Ligong's shoulder, "Welcome to join the ranks of veterans." ”
Someone else walked towards Wang Ziqiang with a wine glass.
"The party is over, you wait for me for a while." Wang Ziqiang said to Huang Ligong in a low voice, turned around and walked towards the visitor.
The hustle and bustle dissipated, the air was cold, Wang Ziqiang and Huang Ligong held wine glasses and looked out at dusk on the large balcony of the hotel room. This is Wang Ziqiang's habit, when staying outside, the size of the room does not matter, it must be high, there must be a balcony, and it must be big enough. After talking, after the entertainment, standing on the big balcony, unrestrained, climbing high and looking into the distance, looking down on the traffic of the building, faintly embracing the world.
"Mr. Wang, I can't imagine that you will buy Kukai." Huang's sense of disbelief has not gone away.
"I'm jumping down a cliff too." Wang Ziqiang exhaled a long breath. He is ambitious and wants to make Maple the first-class industrial robot company, although the momentum is good in recent years, it still lacks competitiveness in the automotive field, and has been repeatedly sniped by Farke, one of the four major families.
After Kukai encountered the "stuck neck" of the emperor group in the supply of reducers, he was quite embarrassed for a while, learned from the pain, and realized that the competition of industrial robots had reached the point of retreating if he did not advance. We must be proactive and take the initiative to create opportunities to take the lead in the internal competition of the four major families. However, affected by the aftermath of the financial crisis, Kukai itself is facing great financial pressure, not to mention increasing investment to catch up with peers, and finally releasing rumors to seek international capital cooperation. Wang Ziqiang smelled blood, and his urgent sense of mission made him decide to buy Kukai. In the end, in the competition with a number of international capital groups, Maple stood out. Wang Ziqiang personally stepped out to impress Kukai, the key is that Huapu is not just providing capital. Huapu understands industrial robots, respects the independence of R&D, and the Huadu Automobile behind it can provide strong application scenario support to maximize the combination of production and research. Most importantly, the key word behind all this is the Chinese market.
Although there were twists and turns in the review at the national level in Germany, in the end, Maple still took Kukai into his arms.
On the day he learned of the news of the German government's approval, Wang Ziqiang was in Fushun, and immediately rushed into the car alone and drove away.
"Where have you been?"
"Yalu River." Wang Ziqiang still had a tremor in his voice when he talked about that day. He drove for more than three hours, and it was already dusk when he arrived in Dandong, standing on the bank of the Yalu River, by the Sino-North Korean Friendship Bridge, touching the rusty iron pillars. The sound of the river gushing into the ears, just like it was more than sixty years ago, tells of the feat of perseverance and repulsion. In the night, he raised his head to the sky and howled, crying loudly.
"That's where your father set off......" Mr. Huang said.
Wang Ziqiang nodded heavily. His father was a battalion-level staff officer of the troops aiding Korea, and after his triumphant return, he worked at the radio station in his hometown, and often told heroic stories of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea in school. The young Wang Ziqiang was in the audience, his chest was full of pride, for him, the Yalu River was a familiar and affectionate place name than his hometown. "Chinese do things, that is, pay attention to breath. Now with this breath, we can withstand an enemy who is stronger than us. In the future, we will surpass them and be stronger than them. This was the most spoken phrase by his father when he was alive.
Huang Ligong lifted the cup and touched it lightly with Wang Ziqiang.
"How's the patent lawsuit going?" Wang Ziqiang asked.
"Not very optimistic." Huang Ligong hesitated for a moment and said. He pondered, trying not to say it to death, "It's a lot of pressure, but we hired a New York lawyer and tried our best to figure it out, and we'll see the situation in a while." ”
"It's essentially a patent war. Patents should be used to curb patents. ”
"We have a lot of patents on algorithms, and we also have some patent reserves on cleaning robots. However, they are not the main battlefield, and their lethality is limited. ”
"Kukai is a typical German company with a huge patent library." Wang Ziqiang said with a smile. Huang Ligong heard the meaning of his words, "Mr. Wang, what do you mean ......?"
"This is not just a corporate dispute, but also a contest between national industries." Wang Ziqiang said, "Kukai has just completed the acquisition, and it can't provoke a patent war head-on." I'm afraid that head-on challenges won't help you much. However, through authorization, alliance, etc., I believe that it can play a good deterrent role. ”
Huang Ligong felt a trace of shame in his heart, and held Wang Ziqiang's hand tightly.
"I'm going to change my clothes." Wang Ziqiang said. He has an unavoidable drinking party waiting.
