After everything was arranged, Huang Ligong informed Xu Qianqian and boarded the plane to London. Coming out of Heathrow Airport, getting into a taxi, handing Xu Qianqian's business card to the driver, Huang Ligong leaned on the back of the seat and looked out the window. Xu Qianqian was very busy this day, and there was no manpower to send to pick up the plane. She herself was in full swing, rushing to finish before Huang Ligong arrived, so as to make time for him.
Entering the city, the sky of London was overcast, and looking through the window, the Eye of London was rolling slowly, looking down on the darkness and rebirth of the old city.
As soon as Huang Ligong entered the office and sat down, Xu Qianqian looked at her watch and said, "I only have ...... Fifty minutes. We'll get things done in this time. Huang Ligong scratched his head, thinking that when he entered the country and followed the customs, when he came to the UK, it would indeed become an old capitalist style, and time was money. He didn't dare to slack off in his mouth, and went straight to the point, "I want to entrust you to help Ruili Technology find international financing." ”
"Didn't you come here last time for this?"
"yes."
"That'...... What's new this time? ”
"Me."
Xu Qianqian looked at Huang Ligong's proud expression, unmoved, and smiled professionally, "Shibei three days......
Huang Ligong stood up, put his hand on the edge of the table, and said, "If there is a room of investors sitting here, the first thing I will do is to be honest." ”
"Oh?"
"Honestly, Ruili Technology is now on the edge of the cliff. The debt of the parent company of the major shareholder has exploded, the commitment has been interrupted, and we are facing great financial risks, and worse, the parent company of the major shareholder has become disorganized, and the risk of losing control is imminent. Huang Ligong looked around the room, as if to a non-existent investor, and said solemnly, "I will also tell them that the Japanese reducer supplier has forcibly cut off the supply, and the supply chain is facing the risk of chain breakage. Japan's Imperial Gong Group is keeping an eye on us and is filing a patent lawsuit in the United States in an attempt to destroy our ability to innovate independently. He wandered around and returned to Xu Qianqian, "This is the epitome of the six years since the establishment of Ruili Technology." We survived one war after another of ants against elephants. Every time it's a life of death. This time, it's the most dangerous, so I'll be here. ”
Xu Qianqian leaned on the back of the office chair, crossed her arms, and showed a hint of appreciation in her eyes. Even in the investment and financing circle, it is rare to open the door and reveal the family's background.
"I hope that all of you here will join this war. For this war......" Huang Ligong pressed his hands on the table, hunched his body, and stared ahead, like a hyena before the attack, "...... We have gathered the channel forces in the market that trust us and are willing to follow us, and expect to raise 80 million to 100 million funds, of which one-third will be used for the construction of the company's franchise flagship stores, and two-thirds will be used to replace shares to help the company take back control. Half of them have already signed formal agreements.
…… We also need to bring together the innovative forces of the international market. The Japanese Imperial Group wanted to slow down my pace of innovation, so I responded to it with a more rapid expansion of innovation. Ruili Technology is the first cutting-edge enterprise to successfully develop six-axis industrial robots, with independent property rights of the underlying control algorithm, laser sensing system and reducer, all of which are the most advanced in China. I plan to expand aggressively overseas in the next three years, acquiring four to six innovative technology companies. At present, it has negotiated with the British company to acquire, at least it is also an in-depth cooperation, Ruili Technology immediately laid out ultra-flexible welding technology, and based on the overseas network of the company, to develop the global market. Soon, Ruili Technology will not only be the most cost-effective industrial robot manufacturer, but also the most innovative industrial robot underlying technology service provider and technological innovation platform. ”
"Impressive plan, ambitious starting point, but what actions have been taken?" Xu Qianqian asked with a smile on her face. She naturally understands that in this grim situation, Huang Ligong is not in a hurry to look for money, but still has the spare time and spare energy to deploy the future, laying out the radical strategy of international acquisitions, and conveying to investors a strong optimism about the future of the crisis, and enhancing their confidence and expectations. However, the ability to prove words and gestures is ultimately weak.
"I'm confident. Whether you join or not, invest or not, I'm already moving forward. Huang Ligong said, "I have completed negotiations with the major shareholders, agreed on the price, and bought back all the shares." I also raised all the money as a guarantee of my personal credibility. One month. Within one month, all the shares held by the major shareholders will be withdrawn from me. ”
There was silence in the air. After a long time, Xu Qianqian said, "You got more than 300 million bridge funds? ”
Huang Ligong nodded.
"You are really confident...... Xu Qianqian tapped her fingers lightly on the table, "Don't forget, your ideas and actions are all based on a patent lawsuit." ”
"What about a patent lawsuit, it's just the valuation, right? I'm definitely going to think of myself to get a little bit more valued. ”
"What's going on now?"
"Our lawyers are confident that a settlement will be reached soon."
"At what cost?"
"Reciprocity."
"Hmm." Xu Qianqian groaned.
"What do our lawyers have to say?" Huang Ligong took out his mobile phone and shook it. "Okay, wait a minute, my lawyer." Xu Qianqian pressed the call bell.
A tall, balding Englishman walked in, shook hands, and took a seat. Huang Ligong dialed the phone, pressed the speakerphone, and put it in the middle of the table.
"Yuanruo, I'm with Xu Qianqian and the lawyers in London, and they want to hear your judgment in the patent lawsuit."
"Okay."
"Half an hour, I'll leave it to you." Huang Ligong looked at the table below.
“I
E
glish, please. Xu Qianqian said. Ling Yuanruo immediately explained her response strategy in English on the other end of the phone. Her core proposition is that the Imperial Gong Group cannot build a Kunpeng reducer.
"Is it incapable, or is it not needed?" The London lawyer asked.
"That's right. Emperor Gong Group does not need to use the method of Ruili Technology to produce reducers, as a factual result, it does not have that ability in reality. Ling Yuanruo explained that from a technical point of view, the Imperial Gong Group is not absolutely without that kind of ability. However, when it has better raw materials, more mature and higher precision process capabilities, it will not go to great lengths to study how to use ordinary materials to partially achieve the performance of special materials, how to use parts with insufficient precision to assemble precision jump products, and will not go to great lengths to precipitate, accumulate and optimize the corresponding experience. And human innovation and ingenuity – carried by patents – are condensed in great painstaking efforts.
What Ruili Technology has developed is a set of methods, as well as the corresponding process accumulation and data precipitation. Huge data and models of parts fit, part image recognition and fast matching, seamless embedding and minimal cost transformation of production lines and processes...... A large proportion of the performance of the Kunpeng reducer is due to this, and there are strict data to prove it. Ruili Technology is applying for patents quickly, and the formal patent or patent trial results will be added to the chain of evidence before the trial.
At the same time, Ling Yuanruo released smoke/fog/bombs. The group was so proud and confident in its technological superiority that it made no secret of the materials and intentions it submitted to the court. With their years of fighting experience, they don't believe that any Chinese company can master materials and mature processes in a short period of time, even if Li Yi hosts - in fact, this is right, what they didn't expect is that Ruili Technology will find another way and embark on another engineering route. They have a strong reasonable suspicion that Ruili Technology has modified the old production line of the Emperor Gong Group and used it as the core to besiege in order to force more loopholes and targets. If Ling Yuan launched a surprise attack at the right time, on the one hand, he threw out a new patent, and on the other hand, he invited a professor from Stanford University, a big data fingerprint expert, to prove positively that no part of the Kunpeng reducer could be of the same origin as the Japanese production line.
"Big data fingerprints? Is it something new? The London lawyer asked. Too new a concept is a double-edged sword in court.
"I've looked at cases where big data fingerprinting has been successfully invoked. In fact, it is not a new concept, and the widely used Ben Fu law is a kind of big data fingerprint. Now, with the help of powerful computing resources and big data processing capabilities, almost all man-made objects, industrial products, artworks, words, expressions, and behavior patterns can extract data features, like their fingerprints, to compare whether two similar objects or behaviors are of the same origin. ”
Ling Yuanruo's Ben Fu Zhi law is a law discovered by the American engineer Ben Ford more than 80 years ago, in the randomly generated statistics, as long as the range of values is large enough, there is no artificial distortion, what is the first number of each number, but it is not random. Human intuition will think that the probability that the first digit is 1 or 9 should be about the same, about 1/9. However, in reality, the probability that the first digit is 1 is as high as 30%, which is almost 7 times more likely than the probability that the first digit is 9. In the decades that followed, this rule was gradually applied to tax inspections and judicial practice – the occurrence of a close probability of the first digit almost means falsification. Many cases of investment fraud and financial fraud, including the sensational Enron financial fraud scandal, have been based on Benford's law to open the first door to fraud.
Finally, Ruili Technology relied on its own patents and established patent alliances with large domestic industrial robot companies such as Huapu to file a series of lawsuits in domestic courts. In addition to patent infringement, antitrust lawsuits are also filed. These countermeasures are intended to force Emperor Gong Group to reach an out-of-court settlement with Ruili Technology as soon as possible.
The London lawyer asked a few detailed questions, exchanged glances with Xu Qianqian, nodded, and said, "Very promising." ”
"Thank you for your listening and professional advice." Xu Qianqian stood up to send the lawyer out, and the two chatted a few words at the door. Back in the office, she said, "Well done." ”
"This wave of patents will also be a new business opportunity for us in the future, at least a new advantage in business competition." Huang Ligong pressed his smugness and said to Xu Qianqian.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the roadshow."
