After urgent discussions with Intel, TiMC made the decision to file a global complaint.
TiMC immediately submitted relevant evidence to the local court in New York.
Including proof that Zhang Jing and his team worked at TiMC, the research work they had engaged in, and proof of technologies related to chip production, as well as Zhang Jing's departure from TiMC to Xia Guodalu without the permission of TiMC.
Some evidence of regional entrepreneurship and more.
Of course, the most important thing is the comparison between Pangu chip production technology and the current TiMC 130nm production technology.
As long as it is a silicon crystal chip, most of the production processes are the same.
Therefore, this move by TiMC is very vicious, because such evidence has been submitted, which basically means that whoever produces 130-nanometer chips first will have the initiative.
The initiative must be in the hands of Intel and TiMC.
Intel will never sue TiMC, but TiMC can definitely sue Xiaxin International and Yanjiang Peninsula Group.
The two district courts in New York and California quickly accepted TiMC’s lawsuit.
And immediately issued subpoenas to Xiaxin International and Yanjiang Semiconductor Company.
The other party is required to submit a counterclaim and relevant supporting materials within a limited time.
Because this case involves international commercial disputes, commercial leaks, and a large amount of money, the New York court will open the case within a month.
The summons was delivered to Zhang Jing.
Although Zhang Jing was prepared in his heart, he was still a little uneasy.
It’s not that Zhang Jing really stole the secrets of TiMC and then returned to Xia mainland to start a business.
Instead, the legal person brought against TMC was the New York District Court, and the objective evidence provided was quite sufficient.
Zhang Jing himself simply does not have any courage to win the lawsuit.
Zhang Jing immediately discussed with Jiang Zhou.
Jiang Zhou also summoned Yanjiang Semiconductor's senior management and relevant personnel from the publishing department, as well as the top lawyers in the Shanghai stock market to discuss countermeasures.
However, after detailed deductions and calculations, various lawyers felt that even if they actively responded to the lawsuit, they submitted counterclaim materials that they thought were relatively sufficient.
But the chance of victory is still too small.
Because technology products are different from other products.
There are only a few standard processes.
This feels a bit unclear.
In the conference room, the atmosphere was quite depressing.
There was an inexplicable anger in Zhang Jing's heart.
He said angrily: "I worked hard to run Shida Semiconductor Company, and three years later I finally achieved perfect profits. I am very ambitious and ready to make the company bigger and stronger!"
"Who knew that the major shareholder of World Semiconductor Company, without any discussion with me or my consent, directly sold my company to Tibetan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. for a price of US$5 billion!"
"TiMC has obtained all the technologies, production lines, markets, etc. of the four major semiconductor companies."
"Now that TiMC has such advanced equipment and technology, doesn't it mean that our company on the World Peninsula has no credit at all?"
When Zhang Jing said this, he slapped the table hard. He was quite angry.
Zhang Jing said: "Tire accumulation of electricity is going to drive people to a dead end, to a dead end!"
After venting your anger.
Zhang Jing was breathing heavily.
He originally thought that he would have nothing to do with TiMC after he left TiMC and came to Shanghai to start a business.
No matter what I say, I will always remember my old relationship and not do anything excessive again.
But Zhang Jing himself still overestimated Zhang Zhong's character.
He did not expect that Zhang Zhong could mercilessly push people to a dead end for his own selfish gain.
The entire conference room was very silent.
Jiang Zhou contacted Zhang Jing personally and invited TiMC to set up in Shanghai.
So he couldn't understand the right and wrong.
This time, the behavior of tire accumulation also surprised Jiang Zhou.
How can people be so shameless?
Jiang Zhou comforted Zhang Jing and said: "This matter has passed. Now we have to look forward and see how we can successfully respond to the lawsuit."
The laws of the United States are still quite effective in this era.
Because most upstream and downstream companies in the semiconductor industry are subject to U.S. law.
For example, photolithography machines and other necessary equipment for chip production.
Xiaguo Technology Company cannot produce these equipment and can only import them from overseas.
Most of the importing countries come from Europe or the United States.
If the court rules against Xiaxin International and Yanjiang Semiconductor Company.
Then both Yanjiang Semiconductor Company and Xiaxin International will encounter big problems in the future procurement of raw materials and equipment.
At present, the self-sufficiency rate of Xia's chip industry is still very low.
It is almost impossible to completely get rid of dependence on the United States.
Everyone began to analyze nervously, and finally everyone came to a unanimous conclusion. The chance of winning the lawsuit was very low, and the best way was to settle out of court.
Jiang Zhou originally suggested that Zhang Jing report the matter to Chen Xiao and let Changtian Technology think of a solution.
But Zhang Jing firmly believed that the reason why this happened was entirely because of his original decision-making mistakes.
At the beginning, Zhang Jing only had technology but no capital, so he chose to use technology to raise funds from social capital.
Only then did a few major shareholders with absolute voting rights be recruited, which eventually led to these major shareholders selling Zhang Jing's company without Zhang Jing's consent.
Zhang Jing said to Jiang Zhou: "I am striving for an out-of-court settlement with TiMC. Even if it means a compensation, I will accept it! I cannot transfer the trouble I caused to Changtian Technology."
Zhang Jing is indeed very guilty of Changtian Technology.
Because the development of Changtian Technology is currently at a critical time, the mass production of Pangu chips has also affected the pattern of the entire semiconductor market.
If Changtian can make some compromising decisions because Zhang Jing is holding him back, Zhang Jing feels that he is definitely a sinner.
This matter must be reported to Chen Xiao, but Zhang Jing's face and reputation will definitely not be tolerated.
The meeting then came to a conclusion.
Zhang Jingxian applied for an out-of-court settlement to TiMC as Xia Xin International.
Zhang Jing’s team is even willing to withdraw from Yanjiang Semiconductor unconditionally so as not to affect Changtian Technology.
If there is no way to settle out of court, let's talk about it next.
Jiang Zhou was going to report the matter to Chen Xiao. Although Zhang Jing did not say anything, he also expressed his acquiescence.
Chen Xiao must know such an important thing.
Zhang Jing purchased the latest flight to the Wanwan area. He will go to the meeting alone to negotiate with Zhang Zhong in person, hoping that Zhang Zhong will let him go.
Jiang Zhou rushed to Jiangzhou immediately.
Jiangzhou, Changtian Technology Headquarters.
Most of the company's employees are currently immersed in the joy of mass production of chips in Pangu.
Wang Xiang has already gone to Changzezhou in Suhang City to supervise the construction of the park.
The progress of the project there is still relatively fast. It is expected that the headquarters of Changtian Technology will be completed early next year.
Changtian Technology can be relocated as a whole to Changzezhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou, and no longer has to be crowded in such a small office area.
Chen Xiao is currently preparing to contact Jiangzhou University to discuss the construction of a graduate and doctoral college at Changtian Technology.
Jiangzhou Changtian Science and Technology Park has also been fully constructed.
This is also the headquarters prepared for Changtian Technology.
Changtian Technology can move at any time, and can also bring related industries to the science and technology park.
Within the science and technology park, there is an industrial park of approximately 40 acres.
Chen Xiao is planning to update and upgrade this industrial park and change the industrial park to Changtian Science and Technology Research Institute.
Just when Chen Xiao was about to go out to discuss relevant matters with Jiangzhou University, he received a call from Jiang Zhou.
Jiang Zhou said on the phone: "Mr. Chen, do you have time here? I have something to report to you."
Jiang Zhou has been hired by Chen Xiao as the CEO of Yanjiang Semiconductor Company, and Changtian Technology is the largest shareholder of Yanjiang Semiconductor Company, so Jiang Zhou can also be regarded as a direct employee of Changtian Technology.
Chen Xiao thought that Jiang Zhou's health was not in good shape to begin with. Although he had completed lung resection and fungus transplant surgery, his entire body was still recovering.
He is not suitable for traveling and traveling.
If there was no special emergency, Jiang Zhou would not come to Jiangzhou in person.
Chen Xiao did not give up to discuss the matter with Jiangzhou University. He said to Jiang Zhou on the phone: "I'm waiting for you in the office now, and I'll ask Song Yi to drive over to pick you up."
Jiang Zhou said: "No, I've already got a taxi here. Come right away."
About half an hour later, Jiang Zhou arrived at Chen Xiao's office.
Of course the two of them exchanged pleasantries.
Especially Chen Xiao was quite happy after learning that Jiang Zhou's health was getting better and better.
This shows that colony transplantation treatment technology is clinically feasible and can withstand the test of time.
Jiang Zhou told Chen Xiao: "We and Xiaxin International received a summons from the U.S. court at the same time."
"TiMC directly took us to court without communicating with us. I have obtained the relevant prosecution information through friends in the United States."
The prosecution materials were very thick, and Jiang Zhou did not bring them all this time. Instead, he condensed all the prosecution materials into a 30-page report.
Chen Xiao was reading the report while Jiang Zhou was reporting on his work.
Jiang Zhou said: "After detailed analysis and combing, we feel that the chances of winning are low."
"The only thing that can be argued is that we use a carbon crystal storage pool and a dual-core design."
"But from the perspective of production technology, the core production technology of the chip has not changed, and there is a lot of overlap with TiMC. In this case, we are really at a disadvantage."
Jiang Zhou indeed analyzed it in great detail, and conducted a comprehensive analysis from many aspects such as technology, legal market, etc.
Finally, Jiang Zhou said: "The best way at the moment is to settle out of court. I hope we can reach a certain agreement with TiMC."
Jiang Zhou felt very aggrieved when he was speaking. He had no choice but to be inferior to others in terms of skills!
Jiang Zhou also took out a resignation letter from his briefcase.
"This is Zhang Jing's resignation letter. Zhang Jing's team is willing to withdraw from Yanjiang Semiconductor Company unconditionally, so as to preserve Yanjiang Semiconductor Company."
Zhang Jing's team formally submitted their resignation, with the purpose of allowing Changtian Technology to continue to move forward.
Zhang Jing's behavior also fully demonstrates that the purpose of his team to start a new business and cooperate with Changtian Technology is not to earn a lot of money, but to achieve their own ideals.
I hope that Xia Guo’s semiconductor industry chain can achieve certain development and stand on top of the world.
After Chen Xiao received the news, he still felt a little emotional.
His guess was correct.
Even in a parallel world, many key historical nodes have not changed.
Tibetan Semiconductor still filed a lawsuit against Xiaxin International, but there is just another Yanjiang Semiconductor company founded by itself in the world.
According to the historical development trend before rebirth.
Xiaxin International will give TiMC a large out-of-court settlement fee and 10% of its equity.
Zhang Jing’s team will not only leave Yanjiang Semiconductor Company, but also leave Xiaxin International at the same time.
From then on, Xiaxin International will fall into long-term chaos.
Its technical capabilities will also stagnate, and it will eventually become a third-rate company in the global semiconductor industry chain. From now on, it will be unable to compete with companies such as Tibetan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
Therefore, Zhang Jing’s team is absolutely not allowed to resign, and it is absolutely not possible to use out-of-court settlement to give TiMC any compensation, including cash and equity.
Chen Xiao had already expected this kind of thing.
Also prepared for the worst.
The worst-case scenario is that the U.S. court rules against Yanjiang Semiconductor and Xiaxin International.
But what does it matter?
The war between the two sides will start sooner or later.
Beat in the morning, beat in the evening, beat in the morning and evening.
But who cares?
If Chen Xiao was afraid of the joint attack by Intel and TiMC, he would not take the initiative to cooperate with Bida Semiconductor.
It will not take the initiative to develop Pangu series of chips, but will obediently purchase related chips from Intel at high prices.
Chen Xiao thought for a while and said to Jiang Zhou: "Whose idea was it to settle out of court?"
Jiang Zhou did not expect that Chen Xiao would ask such a question.
He hesitated for a while and said: "This is a collective decision made by the company's senior management after consulting the legal team."
Jiang Zhou said: "Zhang Jing has gone to Wanwan Island and is preparing to start negotiations with TiMC, hoping to settle out of court."
Chen Xiao said to Jiangzhou: "Since TiMC wants to take us to court with the purpose of killing us, do you think that if we settle out of court, the other party will not kill us?"
"What if the other side makes a big offer that we can't bear?"
Chen Xiao said casually: "For example, if we are asked to pay a certain intellectual property fee (protection fee) for every chip we produce, maybe we are directly required to take possession of the shares of Yanjiang Semiconductor Company and Xiaxin International. If this happens, what will you do?
deal with?"
Jiang Zhou remained silent. He had indeed considered this issue, but there was currently no better way.
After all, if you lose the lawsuit, you will lose even more.
Chen Xiao told Jiangzhou: "I can understand that Zhang Jing went to Wanwandao, but in the past he did not seek an out-of-court settlement, but asked TiMC to withdraw the lawsuit."
"If TiMC is unwilling to withdraw the lawsuit, it will bear the consequences at its own risk! You have to call Zhang Jing and tell Zhang Jing that no conditions can be compromised!"
