"Is there a way to bribe some of the lawyers in their legal team to give us information?"

Johnston had a not-so-so-good feeling in his mind.

He likes to be in a situation where everything is under his control.

Obviously, the situation is not quite what he imagined.

"It's hard!"

"After all, we are not a local company in the United States, and their management of lawyers is very strict, and once there is a betrayal of the employer, not only will the lawyer's future be lost, but the law firm will also suffer heavy losses."

"So if we inquire about some news through some side channels, it is still possible, and it is probably very difficult to directly let the other party betray the news."

Ovid didn't dare to take this matter that he was completely unsure of on himself.

It would be embarrassing if there was something unexpected in the lawsuit.

"We have contacted manufacturers in some other fields to initiate anti-dumping investigations against Nanshan, is it going well?"

Now that he knew that Nanshan was ready to carry it hard, Johnston naturally hoped to have more allies.

"Although not every manufacturer is willing to get involved in this kind of case, manufacturers such as Aisin and Fanuc, who have suffered deeply, have been very active in promoting anti-dumping investigations on the side of the United States."

"Now Nanshan needs to deal with not only the anti-dumping investigation in the field of bearings, but also other cases that they need to prepare at the same time."

"Don't look at the size of their lawyer team, but in the end, they don't necessarily have much surplus manpower."

Ovid said this, but Johnston breathed a sigh of relief.

At least this analysis makes sense.

However, just as he was about to say something more, Ovid's cell phone rang.

I'm talking to the leader, so naturally I can't answer the phone.

So Ovid didn't even look at who called, and hung up the phone.

However, the other party is obviously looking for him in a hurry.

As soon as I hung up the phone, the bell rang again.

Hang up again!

Ring again!

Johnston couldn't stand it anymore and said, "You answer the phone first!" ”

The big boss has spoken, so he naturally wants to listen.

However, within a few seconds of answering the phone, he couldn't help but say loudly: "What? Nanshan sued us? ”

"Say our bearings infringe their patents?"

"What? Are they still looking to the U.S. Department of Justice to report us for another violation of antitrust laws? ”

"This is slander!"

"This is an absolute slander!"

Ovid vented angrily on the other end of the phone.

However, Johnston next to him also began to look bad.

Nanshan, a company, why is it that every time you do things completely different from what you think?

Aren't Huaxia's companies all very introverted?

Why does Nanshan feel completely different to himself?

"Ovid, don't go to the hotel later, go directly to the company!"

"I'm going to hear the latest news right away."

Johnston isn't much of a workaholic, but when he needs to work, he doesn't lie down at all.

In the current situation, he is obviously not lying flat.

Soon, the group arrived at SKF America in a depressing atmosphere.

They began to discuss how to deal with Nanshan's counteroffensive.

The anti-dumping investigation of the bearing has not yet been concluded, and SKF itself has been caught in a new lawsuit.

"Patent litigation, not to mention whether what Nanshan said is the truth or not, even if it is a fact, it can be talked about for a long time, so there is no need to worry about it."

"But we need to pay attention to the anti-monopoly investigation."

"Last year, the auto parts industry was in a uproar because of the anti-monopoly investigation, but the main focus was on those parts companies in Dongying, and we were just affected."

"But if Nanshan takes the initiative to push the U.S. Department of Justice to launch an antitrust investigation against us this time and provides so-called evidence, it will be very unfavorable to us."

"When the time comes, we will probably give a very bad impression to the American judiciary that we are challenging their authority."

"So I suggest that the company should attach great importance to this case related to Nanshan, so as not to fall into passivity."

Johnston listened to Crews, the legal director of SKF America, with a serious face.

"Our technical team also urgently confirmed several patent infringement contents sued by Nanshan, although we can be sure that the technology and process we use are all researched by SKF alone."

"But from a patent point of view, some processes may really be involved in patent disputes."

"We have no way to fully prove that these things do not infringe Nanshan's patents, but it should be difficult for Nanshan to come up with evidence of our direct infringement."

"It's still possible to drag it out until the other party can't afford it."

Hearing this, Johnston's mood was even worse.

What does that mean?

Feelings Nanshan sued SKF, is there really no mess of the accusation?

Wouldn't SKF need to spend a lot of manpower and material resources to deal with these cases?

Is SKF tossing Nanshan, or is Nanshan tossing SKF?

"Nanshan is now in a battle to deal with us, this situation is something we didn't expect before."

"But things have come to this point, we just want to change the plan, and there is no way."

"Let the team of the legal department act immediately and toss around in the court first!"

When Johnston said this, he didn't seem to have enough confidence.

He had a hunch that the ending might not be so ideal.

……

"Uncle, I asked you to arrange for the public opinion group to recruit a group of part-time staff from the foreign language departments of various universities, are you ready for this job?"

In a few days, the case of Nanshan Bearing's anti-dumping investigation will be held for the first time.

Cao Yang is also ready to start taking the initiative.

has been passively beaten, but it is not his style.

"More than 1,000 part-time staff have been recruited in the English, Japanese, German, French, and Swedish departments."

"In this case, we have also specially arranged a group of people who have been working with us for a long time as an intermediate contact window, and they can act at any time."

"Ah Yang, the posts and articles you asked me to prepare are almost ready."

"There are hundreds of articles in all kinds of styles, in all languages."

Zhang Fugui was not sure what Cao Yang's next move would be.

But what is going on in Nanshan now, he is naturally very clear.

Obviously, what Cao Yang arranged for him was related to the case in the United States.

"Let them follow the original plan, on the websites and forums of various countries such as the United States, Germany, France, England, Dongying, and Maple Leaf Country, they began to report that SKF was once again caught in an anti-dumping investigation, SKF infringed Nanshan Bearing patents, and Aisin was suspected of violating the US antitrust law."

"At the same time, the story of our hard work in Nanshan will also start to be publicized on overseas websites."

"In particular, when our products are installed on a large scale on best-selling models such as Ford Motor and General Motors, we need to let as many consumers know about it as possible."

"Of course, don't stop contributing to various websites and newspapers."

"Most of the companies that sued us this time are not local American companies, and these media should be happy to join in the fun."

Cao Yang's surprise move is obviously to strike first in public opinion, so that SKF, Aisin and Fanuc companies are surrounded by public opinion and bear sudden pressure.

"No problem!"

"We have even prepared some incendiary posts to stimulate some netizens to stand on our side and condemn SKF as international component giants and bullying emerging companies from developing countries."

"In particular, we are ready to publicize the truth and falsehood of their unscrupulous infringement of our patents and violation of anti-monopoly laws, so as to win more people to support us."

Zhang Fugui was also very excited when he saw that he had prepared things for more than half a month, and he was finally going to start meeting with everyone.

This battle, if Nanshan can win, the significance is absolutely extraordinary.

Even if it's a draw, it's very representative.

This battle is also the most influential single since the establishment of Nanshan, and even among the foreign cases in Huaxia.

……

"Mi Ying, contact some headhunters and ask them to come forward to poach people from SKF America, Aisin America and Fanuc America."

"The price can be higher, so that the employees of those companies are excited."

"However, remember to find a middleman to deal with it, and don't let people know that we arranged for someone to poach people."

After Cao Yang finished talking to Zhang Fugui, he immediately arranged for Mi Ying to continue to act.

Nanshan is not a person who really wants to poach these companies, but is purely playing tricks on the other party.

Although the effect of this may not be very good, it is not necessarily true that someone will change jobs.

But as long as you mess up people's military morale, the effect will actually come out.

After all, no matter what kind of work it is, in the end, it needs to be done.

If people's hearts are unstable, then how can they do a good job?

"No problem, but we can entrust one side and two sides to a headhunting company, and if we want to continue to perform the play later, we may be exposed, otherwise we won't be able to act."

Mi Ying was also very busy during this time, helping to coordinate and deal with Cao Yang's various official and private affairs.

However, she is full of energy, and her purpose is very clear.

"It doesn't matter, it's a big deal to arrange someone to register a new bearing company, and then there will be an offshore company to register in the name."

"Our goal is to mess up the mentality of the employees of these trouble-making opponents."

"If you can't dig an annual salary of 50,000 US dollars, then 100,000!"

"If 100,000 is not enough, then 200,000!"

"Anyway, we have to get it until they get their hearts moved!"

Cao Yang's purpose is clear.

These special tricks are to have a surprising and winning effect.

In every way, every bit can be won, and in the end, manufacturers such as SKF will be under very great pressure.

At that time, they looked at Nanshan like a hedgehog, and they were afraid that they would have to re-evaluate their own practices.

……

"Chris, long time no see, I didn't expect you to change at all!"

When he came to the United States, Cao Yang naturally wanted to contact these people from General Motors and Ford Motors.

Although these cases have nothing to do with them, the parties to the cases are all suppliers of these car companies, so Cao Yang absolutely believes that Chris already knows about this matter.

As two of the largest auto companies in the United States, the influence of GM and Ford is undeniable.

Cao Yang naturally hopes to use them to further exert pressure on all parties and make things develop in his favor.

"Cao, I haven't changed much, but you have changed a lot every time we meet."

"How's it going, I heard you're in trouble?"

Chris seems to have forgotten that he had discussed the Nanshan Bearing anti-dumping case with Mace.

"A little thing, don't be afraid!"

"Our Nanshan has been able to develop rapidly, and the asset load rate is far lower than that of the industry so far, relying on technology and cost competitiveness."

"Some peers think that what they can't do, they think that others can't do it either."

"The truth will tell them that the world has changed, and they are going to wake up."

Cao Yang's confident look surprised Chris.

At this time, Cao Yang should not be anxious to deal with the anti-dumping investigation of bearings, as well as the anti-dumping investigation of gearboxes, robots, presses and other products?

How do you feel as if nothing has happened?

"Cao, I believe what you said may be the truth."

"But from the perspective of the Ministry of Commerce, they pay more attention to evidence."

"Whether you Nanshan can come up with convincing evidence, or evidence that everyone thinks can be believed, this is probably a big question."

"Of course, you can also keep raising the case to a higher court for trial and drag it out for a long time."

"But the high cost cannot be ignored."

"So I suggest you consider reconciling with the SKF people, and let's discuss how to make the cake bigger and make money together."

When Chris said this, Cao Yang was quite surprised.

It was Chris who previously switched the bearings on the Ford gearbox to Nanshan.

Now he is also the one who wants Nanshan to cooperate with SKF.

What's going on here?

Could it be that Chris has been bought by SKF?

"Chris, we've always been a big advocate of fair play and play by the rules."

"We don't mind developing with our partners, but I don't think it's impossible to work with SKF."

When Cao Yang said this, Chris was stunned for a moment.

Did Nanshan compromise so easily?

Judging from the posture during this time, Cao Yang is not such an easy person to compromise.
