Xu Yuze glared at Shao Yipeng: "Mr. Shao, I have indeed copied the technology and are indeed doing tests, but I am not responsible for the company's smartphone project, our technical department is just cooperating with you, and the leading power in this has never been ours." What's more, at the beginning, it was we who first discovered that our products contained Apple's technology, and discovered that Pengbo Electronics Group's IPENG used new technology. ”

Since Shao Yipeng joined the company, he and Xu Yuze have not dealt with each other. At the beginning, Shao Yipeng was still Xu Yuze's subordinate, but after he got the technology of the smartphone, his status gradually improved, and he suddenly became a figure on an equal footing with him, and Guo Mingli seemed to be more important to him.

Now Shao Yipeng wants to bring trouble to the east, Xu Yuze naturally doesn't do it, on the one hand, he clears himself up, and at the same time does not forget to repeat his credit in this.

Seeing that his right-hand man can't put forward substantive opinions, but will play Tai Chi, Guo Mingli's heart is not an ordinary nest fire.

At the beginning, the smartphone project was led by Guo Mingli himself, and later this project was actually under the actual leadership of Guo Mingli, and Shao Yipeng just assisted him.

In the past, he thought that with this project, he could break out of his own brand and realize the transformation of the company, but he didn't want to stick to the low-profit OEM field all the time.

Who knows, the company's transformation has not achieved great results, but is about to face high compensation.

Guo Mingli himself knows very well that he has no chance of winning this lawsuit in the United States, after all, as long as he finds a few mobile phones from Vanity Company on the market to disassemble them, you can know the clues.

The compensation of one billion dollars is indeed sky-high, although Guo Mingli is in pain, although this money is painful, it is not impossible to get it. As one of the world's largest foundry companies, although the profit is relatively low, it is better than the large amount of business, and they give tens of billions of yuan of OEM business to major electronic brand enterprises around the world every year, even if it is multiplied by a lower profit margin, the actual profit amount is also a lot.

But now that he has to take out such a large amount of money from the company's books all of a sudden, it is difficult for Guo Mingli to explain.

It is true that the chairman of Mingli Company is Guo Mingli, but he is not the controlling shareholder, and he is not even the largest shareholder. If the company takes money out to compensate others, it is equivalent to taking money out of the purses of other shareholders, and it is strange that others have no opinion.

In addition, Mingli Company is still a listed company, according to the relevant management policies of listed companies, such a large amount of capital expenditure, is required to be notified, and this is still a very negative legal compensation, when the time comes, the company's stock price will definitely hit a new low, and several consecutive fall limits are expected.

Under the attack of several aspects, it is strange that Guo Mingli, the chairman, can have a better life.

In addition, the project is directly shut down, which is not a small price, once shut down and apologize, then the fame and fortune company will be excluded from the industry forever.

If one is not done well, if a major shareholder makes a difficulty, it is not impossible to let him leave class and hand over the position of chairman.

"Don't push around, is it interesting? Isn't it interesting....... Is it time to shirk responsibility? The most urgent task is to find a way to deal with it, a solution, you know? What I need now is a solution to the problem, not listening to your noise. Guo Mingli shouted distraughtly.

Guo Mingli wants a solution to the problem, but where is there a good solution for the three of them, and it is impossible to settle this matter without paying the price. So, the three of them only looked at their noses, and sat there silently, without saying a word.

"You guys are talking, aren't you usually quite able to talk one by one?" Seeing the three stuffy gourds, Guo Mingli's anger became even more, "They have all become dumb, and now is the time for you to contribute to the company." ”

"Mr. Guo, why don't you call the company's legal minister, it's better to consult him on legal issues, at least relatively speaking, he is more professional than us. The vice president was looked at unnaturally by Guo Mingli's gaze, and simply put forward a new suggestion.

"Then you should call him quickly. Guo Mingli said angrily.

The vice president is also depressed, without you to speak, can I call him? It's like I don't want to call him.

No matter how much the vice president complained in his heart, he couldn't say it, but quickly picked up the phone at hand and dialed out to call the Minister of Justice.

After a while, the legal director of Vanilla Company came.

The minister of justice, who is in his forties, went to the United States to study for a master's degree after graduating from Treasure Island University, and finally obtained a master's degree in law from New York University. After that, he joined Fame & Fortune and has served so far.

In terms of academic qualifications, the Minister of Justice's academic qualifications are still very good, Treasure Island University is the first school on Treasure Island, and New York University is also a very good institution of higher learning.

And after the legal minister joined the company, he also won several relationships for the company and saved a lot of practical benefits for the company.

"Mr. Guo, you call me?" After the Minister of Justice entered the door, he swept around the unpleasant atmosphere of the scene, looked at Guo Mingli cautiously and asked.

"Shao Yipeng, you can give Minister Sun an introduction to the situation. After Guo Mingli instructed the Minister of Justice to sit down, he waved his hand to Shao Yipeng.

"Minister Sun, that's the ......" Shao Yipeng couldn't make constructive suggestions, but the concise and clear introduction of the situation still couldn't stop him.

Under Shao Yipeng's eloquent introduction, the Minister of Justice immediately understood the whole story.

"Minister Sun, you are familiar with the laws of the United States, you see, is this relationship worth fighting? And what will be our worst-case scenario?" After Shao Yipeng finished his introduction, Guo Mingli asked.

Mr. Guo ...... Things are very tricky, this relationship, if we fight in the United States, we can't fight at all, and the probability of losing is more than 90 percent. As for the worst-case scenario...... It's hard to say, although Apple only made a billion dollar claim, but once the court wants to make an example, then the court has the right to add to it. Minister Sun organized his own words.

This Minister Sun really deserves to be a legal person, there is no flaw in what he says, and he just doesn't say it to death.

This student of law is very logical, and Minister Sun only said that it is 90 percent the same, which is to reserve a way back for himself. If he is too full, on the one hand, the boss does not like to listen, and on the other hand, he is also afraid of what happens.

Therefore, it is rare to be able to say very categorical words from the mouth of a lawyer, they are not very good at talking to death, and they will always leave room and opportunity for themselves.

"What? it's a billion dollars, can you increase it?" said Shao Yipeng in surprise.

"Yes, legally it is absolutely possible. Of course, that is not usually the case, and the court generally respects the wishes of the prosecution. Minister Sun nodded.

"Then if you say so, the lawsuit is still a yarn, and it will be over if you lose money directly. Guo Mingli lit a cigarette for himself and said resentfully.

"Mr. Guo, we still have to fight, although we don't have much chance of winning, but we still have to respond to the lawsuit, at least the court can cut and cut Apple's claims, and pay less price, that's also pretty good. Minister Sun said.

"Minister Sun, there is a question, I don't quite understand, I would like to call you. Xu Yuze said.

"Mr. Xu, please speak. Minister Sun raised his hand at Xu Yuze and said.

Minister Sun and Xu Yuze are fellow villagers, and in terms of relationship, their closeness has surpassed Shao Yipeng from the beginning.

"If we immediately stop using Apple's technology and switch to another system, will this reduce our punishment to a certain extent, and will the court take this into account?" Xu Yuze asked.

"If we stop now and make other options, it will certainly be of great benefit to our response to the lawsuit, at least we have stopped the infringement, and we have voluntarily stopped, which the American judge will not consider at all, and Apple will not be indifferent. Minister Sun explained.

"Mr. Guo, since this is the case, then we can turn to it immediately, we have almost mastered the technology on the IPENG side, put aside Apple's technology, and produce a new mobile phone product. Mr. Guo...... What do you think?" Xu Yuze said.

"You really have mastered the new technology? really don't need to use Apple's related technology anymore? If that's the case, why didn't you take it out sooner?" Guo Mingli said with a loud voice.

"Mr. Guo, it's not that we don't want to, but ours has indeed just finished the test, just in time...... Xu Yuze explained.

"Since this is the case, then you have to do a good docking with Manager Shao, and hurry up to do a batch of trial production to see. Guo Mingli agreed.

"I think it's better to avoid going to court at the beginning, otherwise the news media will scribble, which will have a big impact on the image of our company. I think it's better for us to communicate with Apple privately first, and if they can withdraw the lawsuit, it would be great. The vice president suggested.

"Hmm...... In that case, you should prepare, the day after tomorrow, oh no, tomorrow, you will leave for the United States tomorrow, and Minister Sun will also follow you, and you will go to Apple to negotiate first. If they can lower their demands, then we can really do it privately. Guo Mingli thought for a while.

This can be called salute before the soldier, or contact the bottom in private, touch the opponent's hole cards and the bottom line, so that even if it is against Bo Gongtang, at least it will not fight back.

Under Guo Mingli's assignment, the vice president led a team of people to the United States the next day.
