Takehiko Takamura is a technician. Although he is a bit sinister, overall, he still has the pedantic spirit of a scholar and is not good at making any conspiracies. Tanaka Tatsuo is different. He is a salesman and works all day long.
The market is all about the mind, and things like integrity are completely luxuries to him. When Kusela Company faced the risk of being ruined, the first thing Tanaka Tatsuo thought of was to drag Qu Tao down with him.
What Qin Hai can think of, Tanaka Tatsuo can naturally think of. Qu Tao set a trap for Kusela, and he set a trap for customers all over the world. In order to harm his competitors, he did not hesitate to rope in customers.
, if such a thing were to spread, the blow to Qu Tao would even be greater than the blow to Kusela.
However, to make customers believe that the initiator of this incident was Chinese Qu Tao, Kusela had to explain a question: Why did Kusela use Qu Tao's technology?
"Wang Peichao is Qu Tao's industrial spy. On the surface, he is providing us with Qu Tao's technology, but in fact he is executing Qu Tao's instructions and deliberately leading us down a wrong path."
This is a statement that Tanaka Tatsuo came up with. This statement can even make Saikawa Kiyonori and others feel that it is somewhat reasonable. As for the fight between Liu Shuo and Wang Peichao, when explained with this statement, it becomes naked.
It was the Chinese who did Zhou Yu's trick of beating Huang Gai.
"Even if Wang Peichao is an industrial spy, why would we believe him? How can we accept a technology stolen from other companies?" Takehiko Komura questioned at the meeting.
"We didn't know that Wang Peichao's technology was stolen. The relationship between us and Wang Peichao was just a technical cooperation. We paid to buy gel technology from him, but this technology had problems. I
I think we should seek compensation from Chaosai Company," said Tatsuo Tanaka.
"The contract we signed with Chaosai Company is indeed a technology transfer contract. Chaosai Company will provide us with an industrial gel formula, and we will pay Chaosai Company funds and equipment equivalent to 20 million yuan. If it turns out that
If it is proven that this technology is false, then Chaosai Company is suspected of technical fraud and we can file a lawsuit." Legal Director Naoko Shiotani added in a timely manner.
"It is necessary to sue Chaosai Company. Only in this way can we be freed from the current scandal." Chairman Nishikawa Kiyonori said solemnly. "In addition, we must also let public opinion pay attention to one thing, and that is Wang Peichao.
Tanaka-kun is responsible for the relationship with Qu Tao."
"Understood!" Tanaka Tatsuo responded.
The Kucera Company sued the Chinese Linxi Chaosai Company for false technology fraud, and the rumor that Chaosai Company was actually a shadow company under Qu Tao was detonated in the media at the same time. The successful operation of the public relations company hired by Kucera
Next, most of the media focused their public opinion on the latter point and began to dig out the secret relationship between Chaosai Company and Qu Tao. Media commentators did not even need to wait for Kucera’s hint to find out.
The hype point of this news: As a competitor of Kusela Company, Qu Tao created a shadow company to cooperate with Kusela. What is the purpose?
The first one to react to the incident was not Daqin Group, but Wang Peichao's Chaosai Company. When Hu Yingjie, the lawyer hired by Kusela in China, sent the complaint to Wang Peichao's office, Wang Peichao was so shocked that he almost jumped up
.
"What are you talking about? Kucera is suing us for fraud!" Wang Peichao screamed in a tone that was an octave higher than usual.
"Yes, that's what the indictment says." Hu Yingjie said with a straight face.
"What did we deceive them about? We agreed at the beginning that we would help them get the formula...I mean, this formula was tested by them, and we don't know what happened to the formula. Now there is something wrong with the formula. I haven't found it yet.
Why should they sue us for their trouble!" Wang Peichao said angrily.
These days, Chaosai Company is under no less pressure than Kucera. They used the formula provided by Kucera to produce several cutting tools. It was at this time that a problem occurred. One of the tools suddenly broke during processing.
, the cutter head got stuck in the bearing, which directly caused the motor of a precision machine tool to burn out. The customer requested compensation amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Wang Peichao just felt that he could not find his grave even if he cried. Now it is good, Kucera Company not only does not want to think about
He helped him out of trouble and even poured a basin of dirty water on him.
Hu Yingjie was just a mouthpiece and did not know what the behind-the-scenes transactions were between the two companies. He listened quietly to Wang Peichao's speech, and then took out a file bag. He took out several documents from it and handed it to Wang Peichao.
Said: "Mr. Wang, this is the technology transfer agreement signed between your company and Kusela Company. It has your company's official seal and your signature on it. You won't deny its legal validity, right?"
"Of course I admit it." Wang Peichao flipped through the documents and recognized that these were indeed the documents he had signed with Kusela, so he nodded and said, "Is there anything wrong with these documents?"
Hu Yingjie said: "In these agreements, it is clearly stated that Kusela Company has obtained the formula of knife gel from your company, and your company promises that these formulas have gone through necessary inspections and do not have any defects. Your company also promises that,
If problems with the gel formula cause economic losses to both parties, your company will bear them."
"How is this possible!" Wang Peichao's eyes widened, "This technology is obviously..."
At this point, he suddenly became speechless. He vaguely remembered that these terms mentioned by Hu Yingjie seemed to really exist. He got the gel formula of Qu Tao from Tang Honghui, and handed these formulas to Kusela Company
At that time, he signed an agreement with the other party and sold the formula at a high price. The document Hu Yingjie took out was the agreement at that time.
He still remembered that Kucera insisted on writing these contents in the agreement, and he felt that there was something wrong. However, Kucera said that if it was not written in this way, it would not be able to explain why Kucera wanted to submit the request to Chaosai Company.
To pay such a huge fee, the entire result can only be legal if this is written as a technology transfer agreement rather than an industrial espionage agreement.
From Wang Peichao's point of view, there will be no problem with the gel formula. On the one hand, these formulas come from Qutao, and on the other hand, he believes that with Kusela's technical strength, it is impossible to accept a problematic product.
The formula. He never expected that Qu Tao deliberately dug a hole for them, and Kusela ignored the necessary inspection links due to competitive pressure, which allowed this dangerous gel to enter
reached the final production stage and led to such a big event.
"So, what did Kusela say?" Wang Peichao asked tremblingly.
Hu Yingjie said: "Kusela Company requires Chaosai Company to compensate them for all economic losses and reputational losses they suffered in this incident, and requires Chaosai Company to return the equipment worth 20 million yuan previously obtained from Kusela Company
and funding.”
"So, how much compensation do they demand?" Wang Peichao suppressed his inner excitement and asked in a deep voice.
"Kusela is still making calculations, and its initial intention is... no less than US$2.5 billion," Hu Yingjie said.
"Hahahaha!" Wang Peichao suddenly laughed wildly, "2.5 billion US dollars? Has Takehiko Komura's brain been kicked by a donkey? My company is full of calculations, is it worth 100 million yuan? They just ask for 2.5 billion US dollars, little devils.
Meow is so poor!"
"This is not something I should be concerned about." Hu Yingjie shrugged his shoulders. When he walked into Chaosai Company just now, he had already visually assessed the size of Chaosai Company. Although he did not know much about the industry,
It can also be seen that this is definitely not a company worth 2.5 billion US dollars. He does not know why Kusela proposed such a high compensation amount. You must know that the higher the target, the higher the litigation costs. It is unnecessary
It is irrational behavior to increase the compensation amount.
However, as a lawyer temporarily hired by Kusela's company, he has no obligation to think about these matters for Kusela. He is just here to deliver the complaint. Another complaint has been sent to Changgu City Intermediate Court and sent to
Wang Peichao's copy is a copy, the purpose is just to prepare Wang Peichao.
"Lawyer Hu, I want to ask you, what if...I mean what if, the court really rules that our company loses the lawsuit, and our company can't come up with 2.5 billion US dollars?" Wang Peichao asked.
Hu Yingjie said: "You are a limited liability company. Naturally, you will bear the responsibility based on the company's existing assets. You will pay as much as you have. If you cannot afford the compensation, you will have to go bankrupt."
"That's it." Wang Peichao nodded, already having an idea in his mind. He couldn't tell who was right or wrong in this matter, but he felt that since the Japanese even sent out lawyers, they must be victorious.
I'm sure. When I signed the agreement with Japan, I didn't think too much. Judging from what Hu Yingjie just said, the Japanese should have had a backup plan, so I guess I can't win this lawsuit.
Since he couldn't win the lawsuit, Wang Peichao had to consider his retreat. He decided that as soon as Hu Yingjie left, he would transfer all the company's property and leave an empty shell. Regardless of whether he won or lost the lawsuit,
Anyway, that’s all it is, let the Japanese mess with it.
Seeing Wang Peichao's eyes rolling around, Hu Yingjie smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Wang, I need to remind you that Kusela Company has applied to the Changgu City Court for the preservation of your company's property to prevent your company from
Transferring property during this period will evade responsibility. If Mr. Wang commits any inappropriate behavior during this period, he will be legally responsible." (To be continued...)
