Chapter 998 Knowledge must never be sold at a low price!
Chapter 998 Knowledge must not be sold at a low price! [Fourth update]
After reviewing the relevant evidence in accordance with the procedures, the New York High Court reluctantly issued an order to ban the production of Carnegie Steel!
There is no way, the evidence materials provided by the Protoss Group are too detailed.
After the court injunction came out, it was immediately reported by the media. Immediately afterwards, the global media reprinted the US media report.
The whole world was in an uproar. Unexpectedly, the court actually issued an injunction. This will be a good show.
If this matter is not resolved, the world will not be able to build new interstellar spacecraft!
I just said that the Protoss Group will definitely not sit still and wait for death. It will definitely not be easy for the Carnegie Steel Group to seize food from the Prostos Group.
The Protoss Group must have planned to act at this time.
The last time the Canadian Light Source Solar Group took over food from the Starling Group Shengguang Solar Company, at this moment, the Canadian Light Source Group had completely disappeared from the world.
I'm afraid this time the Carnegie Steel Group will also be in trouble!
SpaceX, NASA, relevant Chinese departments, and the European Space Agency, the four major organizations are in a state of pain at the moment. The agency bosses can already imagine that the advance payment they paid may be wasted.
Two billion US dollars, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get back.
SpaceX is an agreement reached between Musk and the Carnegie Steel Group. Given Musk's position in SpaceX, he should be able to get through it safely.
But the remaining three companies are all government departments. They lost two billion US dollars in one go and will be held accountable.
Cao Yuanzhong, the giant of the relevant departments, was yelling at Gao Jin in the office at this moment, "You are really the nemesis of the relevant departments! Because you have already defeated several giants."
"You bastard!"
The relevant departments have secretly fought with the Xingling Group several times, each time causing heavy losses to the relevant departments. Because of Gao Jin, the relevant departments have been replaced by the two giants.
However, the higher-ups are happy to see relevant departments engage in healthy competition with the Protoss Group, which makes it difficult for the giants to target the Protoss Group through other means.
With this loss of two billion US dollars, the relevant departments may have lost another giant, and there is a high possibility that they themselves will take the blame!
Cao Yuanzhong has already lost points regarding Dandong City.
This time the agreement with Carnegie Steel Company was brokered by Cao Yuanzhong. Now that the Xingling Group is doing this, the two billion US dollars paid in advance may be wasted.
The only one who can take the blame is Cao Yuanzhong. How could Cao Yuanzhong not hate Gao Jin?
NASA also hates Gao Jin. If the two billion US dollars is not returned, NASA also needs someone to take the blame.
The same goes for the European Space Agency, which also needs someone to take the blame.
Gao Jin's move hit four important competitors in one fell swoop. It can be said that he was ruthless!
The big bosses of the Chinese Dynasty also discussed this matter during the meeting. They were also very helpless at Gao Jin's tactics. They were relieved but also sad at the same time.
"It would be great if there were more high-ranking officials in the country." This was the comment of one big boss. The other big bosses all laughed bitterly. If there were just a few more, the world would be in trouble.
The big bosses stood high and looked at the problem from different angles. They believed that Gao Jin's actions were the means of an international giant, which not only fought for his own legitimate rights and interests in a reasonable and legal manner, but also attacked his opponents.
Currently, the only one that can do this is the Xingling Group, and perhaps half of the Weiwei Group and the Fuyao Group.
Other companies lack this kind of reasonable and legal means to protect their own interests.
The media continued to report on this incident, and many media outlets sent personnel to New York to obtain first-hand information.
At the same time, I told the reporters in private that they must stand on the side of Xingling Group and make this matter bigger for the sake of our bonuses.
Intellectual property rights must be protected!
Many organization bosses have prepared snacks and plan to watch the show. It is also good for the Protoss Group to cause trouble. At least it can slow down the development of these big countries in the interstellar world.
So that we, the small forces, can have a breather.
Many forces began to work secretly, and the world's media overwhelmingly supported the Protoss Group and condemned the Carnegie Steel Group for patent infringement.
SpaceX corporate headquarters, board of directors meeting.
Chief Director Lang Li looked at Musk and said, "Musk, can you talk to Gao Jin to resolve the patent dispute between Carnegie Steel Company and Xingling Group?"
"What price does Field intend to pay?" Musk asked. Gao Jin's greed is well known to the world, and without sufficient price, reconciliation may not be possible.
"Everything is easy to say, as long as it does not exceed US$2 billion, Carnegie Steel Group is willing to pay." Langley looked at Musk and said this.
Longli itself also has shares in Carnegie Steel Company, and he knows very well that Carnegie Steel Group has been cheated this time, but it is now in a difficult position.
"Let me talk to Gao Jin first and see what conditions he wants." Musk frowned and said, Langli nodded. It was necessary to feel Gao Jin's bottom line first.
"Lang Li, I think you should tell Field that it may be difficult to reach an agreement for two billion dollars."
"Gao Jin didn't just know about the infringement. He knew about it last year. He didn't report it until now. What he was planning was definitely not just a few billion dollars."
"My analysis is that his ultimate purpose in doing this is to slow down the development of interstellar spacecraft by several of us, so that the Protoss Group can have time to catch up."
"I have received news that the construction of an interstellar aircraft factory has begun on Ukodo Island purchased by the Protoss Group. I believe that eventually the Protoss Group will also need the products of the Carnegie Steel Group."
"So, this is an opportunity for Field. If necessary, we can unite with the other three companies to put some pressure on Gao Jin!"
Stephen watched Musk say this slowly. Musk's heart moved and he already understood what Stephen meant.
Other companies are not a concern. The Protoss Group is the biggest competitor. This is what Stephen implicitly expressed.
Never be careless!
"Lang Li, you first ask Field to go to the morning market and talk to Gao. It won't be too late for Gao to come forward before asking Musk to come forward." Stephen added.
"Okay, I'll call Field now"
Langley called immediately after saying that. He really couldn't wait any longer. Since the news broke, the stock price of Carnegie Steel Group has begun to plummet.
In fact, no one knew that before Hyde Hill sued, Gao Jin had already arranged for Ji Xueyi to use funds to short Carnegie Steel Group's stock.
The more it falls, the more Gao Jin earns!
The construction of the interstellar spacecraft was about to begin, and Gao Jin planned to earn back the cost of the first interstellar spacecraft from the stock market.
Soon, Langli hung up the phone and looked at everyone and said, "Field has chartered a flight and will land at Tianchaori Morning Market in a few hours."
Everyone nodded. Field was good. As a chairman, he acted quickly enough.
"Let's see and then talk," Musk said, and everyone nodded.
At this moment, the news that Carnegie Steel Group Chairman Field flew to China for the morning market has been known to many organizations, and they are all waiting for the results.
Cao Yuanzhong from the relevant department even called Guan Hongsheng, hoping that Guan Hongsheng would advise Gao Jin to put the overall situation first.
Guan Hongsheng replied directly, "I get the salary from Xingling Group!" After saying that, he hung up the phone.
In my heart, I looked down upon Cao Yuanzhong!
More than five hours passed, and Field's charter flight landed slowly at Rizao City Airport. He had contacted the Xingling Group before arriving.
When I walked out of the airport passage, I saw someone not far away holding a sign with my name on it, so I led my assistant over.
After confirming his identity, the person who picked him up asked Field to get in the car in the parking lot. This was the car sent by Xingling Group to pick him up. The car drove out of the airport and drove towards the Four Seasons Hotel.
Please have Field take a rest today. The chairman will meet with Field at the company tomorrow.
Early the next morning, Field took a Protoss Group vehicle to the Protoss Group headquarters. More than an hour later, Field left the Protoss Group headquarters with a disappointed look on his face.
Carnegie Steel Group's plan is to compensate Protoss Group for US$500 million, and then spend US$1.5 billion to purchase 13 patents and directly buy out the rights to use them.
If Xingling Group purchases new materials, the first order can be discounted at 10% off the market price.
Gao Jin's condition is to compensate Xingling Group for one billion U.S. dollars, and then spend another two billion U.S. dollars to obtain a twenty-year license for thirteen patents.
When Xingling Group purchases new materials in the later period, it must give a 30% discount on the purchase price, not for the first order, but for all orders.
Field believed that the Protoss Group could not do without this material if they wanted to build an interstellar spacecraft, so he simply refused.
The two sides argued back and forth for a long time. Gao Jin decided not to talk today, and Field could only leave disappointed.
Just as Field was leaving, his face was photographed by a drone in the sky, and his disappointed expression was very clear.
More than half an hour later, Phil had not arrived at the hotel. He appeared on the social platform with a disappointed expression. Obviously, the negotiation was not going smoothly.
Fortunately, it is already dark in the United States at this moment. If it were daytime, Carnegie Steel Group's stock would definitely fall.
After a night of fermentation, Carnegie Steel Group's stock price began to plummet as soon as the New York stock market opened the next day. Some investors had given up hope that the two parties could reach an understanding.
It was already evening during the morning market, and Musk had a video chat with Gao Jin, acting as a lobbyist for Carnegie Steel Group, hoping that Gao Jin would give Carnegie Steel a helping hand.
"Musk, my conditions are not high. Carnegie Steel Group can make it back by giving up two months' profits."
"You know, the scientific research expenses of our Xingling Group are very large, and I must be worthy of the efforts of the scientific researchers."
“Knowledge must never be sold cheap!”
Gao Jin said this very calmly. Musk curled his lips after hearing this. You are so shameless. If you want to make a fortune, just tell the truth. Is it interesting to play such a small trick in front of me?
