"Lianxiang Group has violated the dumping law, which is illegal in any country. We have officially filed a lawsuit." The person in charge of Dai Er PC Business Unit told reporters.
"This is unfair competition from Lianxiang Group. They are selling below cost price, which is disrupting the market order. We have entrusted a lawyer to issue a lawyer's letter to Lianxiang Group." The director of Sunny PC Division declared.
"It is impossible for notebook prices to drop to this level. They are blindly lowering prices in order to squeeze out their competitors and seize the market. They will pay the price they deserve," Vice President Dongzhi vowed.
…
PC manufacturers continued to stand up and announce that Lianxiang Group would pay a price. At this time, the affected Lianxiang Group's stock price also began to fall, and Lianxiang Group's market value began to shrink.
At this time, those consumers who ordered notebooks from Lianxiang Group were also a little panicked.
If Lianxiang Group goes bankrupt, will their advance payment be wasted
As a result, there were many messages from consumers on the official website of Lianxiang Group, asking when the laptops would be shipped, and some even asked if they could return the laptops.
At this time, Yang Yuanqing, vice president of Lianxiang Group and head of the PC division, responded: "Every consumer who orders can get their laptop within the contract period."
This statement completely angered other PC manufacturers. They originally thought that Lianxiang Group should compromise and return goods to those consumers.
As for the impact on the brand reputation, it is much better than being slapped with a huge fine after being sued by them, right
Unexpectedly, Lianxiang Group did not repent and insisted on going its own way.
…
"Boss, it looks like we have to send a representative to appear in court." Wilson said easily.
This lawsuit is destined to be won, so of course he is not in a hurry. The lawsuit against Microsoft for monopoly on behalf of China is about to be won, and the final judgment will be made before China's New Year.
"You have discussed this matter with Lao Liu. I heard that Yang Yuanqing will be present."
"Then let's attend in the United States first. I think after the United States attends, other regions will be sensible and withdraw their lawsuits. Well, maybe we can ask Dai Er and other companies to publicly apologize and compensate us for our losses. They have continued to accuse us. I think the group’s brand has caused great losses!”
"You figure it out. If you can win, just file a lawsuit. If you can't win, it won't be good if you offend all your peers at once."
Lian Xiang hasn't reached the top of the world yet, so it would be unwise to start a war with all his peers for the time being. Two years later, when the global economic crisis hits, Lianxiang Group and other companies will trample their peers under their feet one by one!
"Then we must at least make those manufacturers apologize, so that they will not dare to make groundless accusations against us next time."
"That's okay." Feng Yu nodded and asked them to apologize. That was necessary.
Since the other party stretched out his face, Feng Yu didn't mind a slap.
Two days later, Yang Yuanqing, senior vice president of Lianxiang Group, appeared in court in the United States on behalf of Lianxiang Group. A number of American PC manufacturers jointly became the plaintiff, accusing Lianxiang Group of dumping. They also had an association or other organization above them.
When the judge asked Yang Yuanqing if the other party admitted the accusation, Yang Yuanqing refused. When the judge asked them if they could provide evidence to prove their innocence, Yang Yuanqing said yes.
At this time, the lawyers representing other manufacturers were dumbfounded. What do you mean, they can prove their innocence, does it mean that their costs are really so low
Yang Yuanqing disclosed the production cost of this laptop, which is less than 400 US dollars, so their price of 499 US dollars is completely reasonable and ensures a reasonable profit for themselves.
The gross profit reached 25%. Isn’t this enough? Do you manufacturers all think that 25% of net profit is correct
When they left that day, Yang Yuanqing and Wilson were both arrogant, while other manufacturer representatives, representatives from some associations, and their legal teams were all dejected, like eggplants beaten by frost.
As soon as he came out, a group of reporters surrounded him.
"Mr. Yang, are you sure of winning the next trial?"
"Mr. Yang, have you considered out-of-court settlement? For example, canceling the sale of that laptop?"
"Mr. Yang, how much did they claim in total, and how much fine did the association impose on you?"
Yang Yuanqing waved his hands and looked at the reporters with an arrogant look: "What are you asking about? There will be no next court session, no out-of-court settlement, and we don't have to pay a penny in compensation, let alone any fines. Because we have won the case. Got it!"
The reporters were all dumbfounded. What the hell, the lawsuit was over just after the first court session? And did you hear it correctly just now? Lianxiang Group won the lawsuit
This is impossible. So many manufacturers jointly sued, and the xx Association supported them, but they actually lost? Are the lawyers those people hired having diarrhea? Or have they all suddenly become mute
No matter what, they can postpone it until the next court session, right? Unless it is, Lianxiang Group has produced conclusive evidence!
"Mr. Yang, can you tell us the specific situation?"
"Mr. Yang, we are reporters from Forbes. Can you accept an exclusive interview with us?"
"Mr. Yang, we are reporters from Business Weekly, and we would like to give you an exclusive interview."
The reporters were even more excited this time. Lianxiang Group defeated so many manufacturers on its own. This is definitely big news. Is Lianxiang Group going to dominate the PC industry
"I have something else to do. If you want news, you can wait a moment. Representatives from other manufacturers should be coming out. And let me remind you, they have more news than I do."
Just as he was talking, representatives from other manufacturers came out, and the reporters, who were missing more than half, crowded around.
Yang Yuanqing also threw away reporters, got in the car and left under the protection of his bodyguards.
As soon as he got in the car, Yang Yuanqing excitedly said to Wilson: "Hahaha, it's so satisfying to see the despair in their eyes when they know our true cost. Just because they can't make it, doesn't mean we can't make it!"
Wilson also smiled and said, "Would you like to wait for a while and see if they finish apologizing before leaving?"
"Forget it, go back and watch TV news. We have to go to Europe, haven't the manufacturers there not withdrawn the lawsuit yet?"
"No, we don't have to go to Europe." Wilson raised the Fengyu mobile phone in his hand, "My partner told me that the European Commission has withdrawn the case and will no longer accuse us. Well, now the island country has also withdrawn the case. ”
Those people have been watching the news, wanting to see the outcome of the first court hearing in the United States.
But when the results came out, they were all dumbfounded. Not to mention that the first court session ended, but it was Lianxiang Group that won the case? !
What this means is self-evident.
They all wisely withdrew the lawsuit, especially when they saw the manufacturer representatives apologizing in front of the media. None of them wanted to be in such news.
The case in which many PC manufacturers around the world sued Lianxiang Group came to a dramatic end!
