Reaching for the stars with one hand

Chapter 176 The Hertz Controversy 6
"Miss Lawyer, there is indeed nothing about this company in your pile of agreements, because this company is directly authorized by TS, the former owner of Mag. Do you think there is any problem with the cooperation between Mag and the authorized partner of TS?" ?”

The legal affairs officer was obviously not prepared for this at all, she was stunned for a while, and then said after a while: "You said that there is a cooperation agreement between them and TS, can you provide evidence?"

Zhang Yong shook his head, "No. TS's agreement does not need to go through Mag, so you can contact TS or this Chinese company directly. If you need my help, just say Please, and I can help you get in touch."

"How would you know if the agreement didn't go through Mag? How would you cooperate with them?" The legal counsel was thoughtful and quick to respond.

"Because the Mag China office was once under the direct management of TS, my information comes from TS. Are there any questions?"

The legal affairs were out of words, Zhang Yong and Da Sewa looked at each other, and Da Sewa secretly gave Zhang Yong a thumbs up.

Dong Bin refused to give up, "Zhang Yong, even if this Chinese company has the authorization of TS, but now this authorization is invalid for SKydon."

Zhang Yong nodded, "So, after SKydon acquired Mag, I never worked with this company again. I report everything to my boss, Cameron."

Cameron was noncommittal, "I didn't find out that Yong cooperated with other companies." In fact, Zhang Yong didn't do anything for him. He could say that Zhang Yong didn't fulfill his duties, but Zhang Yong definitely didn't make a mistake.After all, only those who do things can do wrong things.

"It is true that this company has stopped providing ODM to users, but," Dong Bin looked into Zhang Yong's eyes sternly, "it is still this company that provides ODM of GNSS tablets to Chinese manufacturers. Zhang Yong, don't you Need an explanation for this?"

"A female student from Tsinghua University cracked the navigation code of the Beidou system for the United States. Dong Bin, what do you think? Don't you need to explain this?"

Dong Bin was baffled by Zhang Yong's nonsensical question. He almost blurted out the letter starting with F, but finally held back.

"What does this have to do with me? Why should I explain it?"

"Oh...," Zhang Yong said with an expression and tone that I understood, "I'm fine now."

Xue Li stood up suddenly, and said blankly, "I'm sorry, I'm going to the bathroom."

When she walked to the door of the meeting room, she finally couldn't bear it any longer, she covered her mouth, her back shook violently, and she quickened her pace and ran out.Almost everyone felt the laughter she suppressed in their hearts.

"You," Dong Bin almost cursed again, he just understood what Zhang Yong meant.

In the end, it was Lu Yi, the president of the China region, who said, "Zhang Yong, in fact, this time it was just a routine internal inquiry, because someone did report, and the person who reported..." The person who reported was of an extraordinary status, so he swallowed went back.

"If there is a report, there will be an inquiry. I just want to hear your explanation. It does not involve legal aspects, and there is even no need to prove it. It is just an internal communication between us."

Zhang Yong looked at the powerful plastic surgery in front of him, especially the angry Dong Bin and the angry lady lawyer.

"This internal communication, the plastic surgery is too powerful. Gathered people from three continents."

"No way," Louis shrugged, "Your identity is also quite special. If there is no merger, you and I are the top leaders of different companies in China, and we are at the same level." Longdu smiled, and Shirley, who had just regained her composure after the laughing scene, also laughed again. She had never participated in such an interesting investigation meeting.

Zhang Yong also smiled, "Now we can also sit face to face in the same meeting room."

"So, don't get too excited, we just listen to each other, we have questions and answers, no evidence is needed. Zhang Yong, now I ask you a question. Someone reported that you helped other companies to do ODM, which affected SKydon business. So let me ask, does this have anything to do with you?"

"Mr. President, this report is a bit absurd. I provide Mag ODM because Mag and TS are behind it. If I personally can make a product that exceeds SKydon's level, I don't know whether the reporter underestimated SKydon too much, or too much. I am optimistic about Made in China and myself.”

Louis was unmoved, "I said, we don't need evaluation and evidence. So your answer is No?"

"Yes, thank you President."

"Okay, it's as simple as that, I'm fine. Does any of you have any questions?"

Dong Bin obviously couldn't be convinced, "Is this the end? We have no conclusions."

"You have no problem, the investigation is over, the conclusions will be made later. If SKydon's business is in trouble, we will blame someone else, and that is our problem."

This sentence was neither serious nor serious, Dong Bin and Mi He's names were named, and Dong Bin shut up knowingly.

"Yong, you go out first. We need to have an internal discussion. If there is any result, Shirley will communicate with you."

"Okay, Mr. President." Zhang Yong stood up and said to Cameron and Da Sewa: "Both of you have come from afar. Regardless of today's result, I will be my host and invite you to dinner. Miss Lawyer, I welcome you to attend if you wish."

Louis said: "Zhang Yong, this is SKydon's official business trip. SKydon China can't afford a business banquet. You are still an employee of SKydon. I don't want to hear that you are the host."

"Okay, Mr. President, I understand."

……

After a while, Shirley met Zhang Yong in the small conference room, and she had calmed down by now, no longer laughing.

"Your investigation is over, and colleagues from the United States will go back and report tomorrow. They, mind you, are them, not us, we have never conducted a public inquiry on you, and they have not found any evidence against you, so report Things will be over soon..."

"Don't think that Louis's tolerance towards you is just out of trust. I can tell you privately, Mihe, you guess you should know that they reported you. Before Mihe reported you, SKydon China had raped you. Do some research. We know far more than you think. Whose product is Zhongxun Network Base Station using? Do you think we really don’t know?..."

"Louis has already done some investigations, and even the board you sold, we have also investigated and collected part of the evidence...."

"Louis trusts you because he really didn't find any of your violations of the law. Every board and chip of yours is registered in Mag, so no one can really sue you. At the same time, Louis is against some The company is very dissatisfied with using SKydon executives to investigate China's issues, so he stood by your side from the beginning of this incident. …"

"My position is naturally consistent with that of my boss, but Dong Bin is a little ignorant of current affairs. He and Mi He are getting too close. This is not a good thing for him, and it may affect his future in China. ..."

"As for you," Shirley Yang looked at Zhang Yong, "we are sure that you have not violated the law, and we are sure that you are very smart, and what you do will not be caught. At the same time, many of the things you do are at least for Mag. It is very helpful, so in the China area, no one will punish you...."

"However, there is no violation of the law. It does not mean that what you do is in compliance. Many of your actions do not comply with Skydon's principles, and what you have done recently does have an impact on Skydon. It's just that Louis believes that this should not be done. It became an excuse for Mihe's poor performance..."

"Just now, Louis has already communicated with Cameron that there should be no place for you in the future SKydon China. But we don't want to link your leaving the company with this report. We don't even want to see the employees in China because Resignation due to moral issues, do you understand?"

"Understood, what do I need to do?" Zhang Yong asked.

"Are you calm? It seems that you are not surprised by this ending?"

"I've had far more drastic departures at Eka than this one, so I'm not excited about this situation."

"Okay, Zhang Yong. Louis and Cameron hope that you will resign voluntarily after three months. I will make a plan for you later about your compensation conditions. I think you will be satisfied. Do you accept this proposal?" ?”

"I accept, thank you Louis, and thank you."

"You're welcome, Zhang Yong. In fact, you have never really integrated into the big family of SKydon. Maybe when you left SKydon for the first time, your relationship with SKydon was completely broken. This ending should be the best. SKydon has many outstanding talent, but not all talent should belong to SKydon. Good luck, Zhang Yong!"

……

Da Sewa was the only one invited to Zhang Yong's dinner, and Cameron went to have dinner with Louis, while the proud lawyer lady refused to have any contact with Zhang Yong.

Da Sewa was obviously very satisfied with today's meeting. He was holding a roll of Peking duck and eating it with relish.This is his favorite, and he can't get enough of it. Every time he comes to Beijing, he wants to come here again.

"Boss, thank you for your support. Cheers"

Da Sewa smiled and said: "I'm very glad that I left you at the beginning and didn't cause you any trouble. Looking at it now, everything is fine, and it seems better than leaving when you rejected my appointment. What do you think? ?”

"Yes. Everyone knows that I have done a lot of things in Mag, especially a lot of things that I should not do at all. Some people approve, and some people just like today, accuse me behind my back. I don't care about others, but , I must thank you, in fact, everything I do is under your leadership, you control the overall situation, I just conform to the situation."

Da Se Wa ate a roll of roast duck, and carefully wiped the corners of her mouth with a paper towel.

"Brother Yong, you don't need to thank me. We are doing very well in our respective positions, maybe too good, so God terminated our cooperation and let us separate and do things alone. What are your plans?"

"There are some, but they haven't been fully smoothed out yet. I need to think about it again. I will keep in touch with you at any time."

"Okay, brother Yong, I believe you can do everything well. Also, have you contacted Francois recently?"

"I haven't taken care of it. The last time I contacted him, he said that he had left Mag and had a new job related to China, but it was not convenient to disclose at that time."

"Haven't he told you yet? He is now the global sales director of a Chinese company, responsible for their overseas business outside China. He contacted Mag's global agents and put them under the Chinese company one by one. Over the past year, this company's overseas business has grown rapidly, and it has almost caught up with your strongest local company, Eastern Company."

Zhang Yong immediately realized something. He remembered the secret conversation between Mr. Zhao and Xiao Sewa on InterGEO. He remembered the last time he talked with Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao said, "When will you come to Shanghai, an old friend wants to see you."

"It turns out that he went to Huatai, but I didn't even know about it."

"Haha, since you are in China, he is not in a hurry to contact you. I guess you will have a lot of time to deal with each other in the future."

"We will definitely meet, but it's hard to say whether it will be cooperation or competition in the future."

"How did this happen?" Da Sewa was a little puzzled, "Francois talked to me in private, his new company has a very close relationship with you. There may be opportunities to continue working together in the future. Have you changed your mind now? ?”

"He is right. I do have a close relationship with this company. But it's not that I have changed my mind. I have never made a decision, but now I want to do something different. It's a pity that I can't work with Fran Sova worked together. But I really want to thank you again. You let me fix the Mag board by myself and took me into a new world."

……

……

In the evening of American time, after a busy day, Gao Ping returned to his residence after dinner with Horton.

He talked with his family on the phone, and was just about to take a hot bath when he received a call from Zhang Yong.

"Mr. Gao, everything is fine."

"Very good. Holden helped me connect a lot of resources. He has a professional team of lawyers to help us handle all overseas acquisition matters. You called me so early, is there any important progress?"

"You have already started to deploy overseas, and I don't want your layout to fail. If you acquire Hertz now, I am willing to handle all matters related to Hertz board chips."

"Have you made a decision? Zhang Yong, did your senior brother make a more accurate assessment of the redevelopment of the Hertz board?"

"Sorry, no. I just discovered one thing. We can't wait for a more accurate assessment. Everyone's conclusions are consistent and conservative. No one says NO, no one Say YES. …"

"I figured it out today. There is no 100% thing in time. If we confirm that we are 100% sure to do things, we simply can't do anything...."

"I evaluated Hertz and felt that it was not up to our requirements, but it is possible that we can further develop and improve it. Also, in the market at present, we hardly see more options. Mag has acquired, Payson speaks loudly to us lions. Hertz is one of the few opportunities we have. If we give up, we may not have more opportunities. What I said to you in Germany is empty words. And we can't wait any longer , the more we evaluate, the more hesitant we will be, this is not the attitude of doing things..."

"Mr. Gao, the acquisition is your business, and my opinion can only be used as an aid. So I have to make it clear to you that I am no more confident now than I was a few months ago. I just figured it out."

"Very good, Zhang Yong. I'm glad that, like Germany, we've reached an agreement again."

"What do you mean?"

"Actually, from the moment I made the plan, I wanted to understand. I just wanted to see when you can make up your mind. I think it may be more difficult for you to make a decision than mine, because it is the same bet, but you are betting Other people's money. Most people are more generous when using other people's money, but I guess you are different, and your inner pressure will be greater, so you have procrastinated for so long. I am glad that you have passed your own test. Zhang Yong , Congratulations, we will be partners in the future."
