The conference room of the Army Ant Headquarters.
The main high-level officials of Army Ant are all here.
After hearing Poland's verdict, they knew that the other side was now testing the situation. If it is not handled well, there will be more trouble later.
"Ling Feng, Zhang Yi, you will remit overseas cash back to China. Remove management and technical personnel in Poland, announce the dissolution of the Polish branch, close offline stores, and lay off all local employees in Poland except for relevant technical personnel. "
Zhao Min read the verdict and put the folder on the table, showing no emotion or anger.
Really withdraw
The senior officials on the field were all shocked.
"Do you want to wait until the appeal is made and the second verdict is finalized before making a decision?" Julie asked.
"It's useless. The speed from prosecution to judgment this time is too fast. We have no disadvantage in defending in court. In this case, someone obviously interfered behind the scenes. In that country, stupid things are not done once or twice." Li Huai said.
He is the head of the legal department of the Marching Ant Group and knows the process of this trial best.
"Now is just the beginning, attitude is more important than anything else." Zhao Min said.
Now even if the United States or the European Union makes a judgment, she will make the same decision. Once she hesitates, the wolves will think that you are afraid of her and pursue her.
…
The Army Ant Group expressed its disapproval of the Polish court's decision and lodged an appeal.
The Army Ant Group believes that the Polish market cannot provide a fair competitive environment and has withdrawn its technical personnel in Poland. There are signs that the Army Ant Group is preparing to dissolve the Polish branch and fire all employees of the Polish branch.
Marching Ant Group remits overseas cash back to China. Based on tax data calculations, it is estimated that the cash flow back to China is as high as US$260 billion.
Three pieces of news emerged one after another, causing an uproar.
Really withdraw.
Army ants are real.
Especially the latter two decisions, as the Marching Ant said in response, do not rule out discontinuing cooperation and withdrawing from the market.
This is the attitude of the army ant group.
The army ants began to fight back, and it was a beautiful response.
Repatriate US$260 billion in cash overseas and dissolve the Polish branch.
This means that if an unfair verdict is imposed, the army ant group will really leave.
European Economic News: The move of Army Ant is obviously taking advantage of its monopoly to threaten the countries investigating it and create serious consequences, so as to obtain a verdict in their favor.
CNN: By repatriating most of its overseas cash and dissolving the company, the Marching Ant Group threatens countries participating in antitrust investigations.
The Times: The Marching Ant Group repatriated all the cash in order to avoid being fined. It is recommended that their accounts be frozen until the litigation is concluded.
Regarding the March Ant Group's move to repatriate overseas cash and disband its Polish branch, Western media reported that it was using its own conditions to threaten justice, and all the news was aroused.
In particular, the Marching Ant Group repatriated US$260 billion in overseas cash to China, causing an uproar in the economic circle.
It is an indisputable fact that Army Ant Group has the largest cash reserves. Now seeing the strength of the army ant group, it is indeed terrifying.
Although the Army Ant Group is jealous of its terrifying cash reserves, no one else can stop Army Ant from repatriating its own funds under legal and reasonable circumstances.
"Why are we in Europe the first to suffer from the game between the army ants and the Americans?"
"Because there's a stupid donkey."
"It's really stupid. The master bites people before he starts barking. No wonder he was 'rounded' several times during the war."
“…”
Soon someone realized the problem, and the two protagonists got along well with each other. As a result, they who followed the excitement were the first to suffer.
The marching ant group's counterattack and several actions have forced some countries that are conducting antitrust investigations to slow down. They are supporting roles at best. The protagonists are not active yet. They will only be used as guns.
Wilbur frowned when he saw the movement of the army ants.
Decisive, without any sloppiness.
The decisive action of the marching ant group was beyond his expectation. Just one action showed their determination.
The Polish market was not taken seriously at all.
Withdraw $260 billion in cash from Europe.
This amount of money is huge enough to make any capital giant jealous, and it also flows back to the Chinese market. Huge cash and advanced technology are the backbone of the Army Ant Group.
"Isn't the EU taking any action?" Wilbur looked at Mullen next to him.
"No, they can't stop the army ants from repatriating funds. Within the EU, differences have emerged. The French suggest that the European Court of Justice's judgment must be based on facts and not be influenced by others, otherwise it will lose credibility and the consequences will be serious. Seriously," Mullen said.
"Why are the French helping the army ants?"
"The main roots of the Roche family are in France. In recent years, the Roche family has re-emerged by cooperating with army ants, increasing its influence in the political and economic circles, and Paris is building an ant paradise." Mullen said.
Not easy to handle.
Wilbur was thinking of countermeasures to put pressure on the army ant group, when suddenly his eyes lit up and he made a phone call.
"Do you cooperate with the Army Ant Group? Can you temporarily interrupt the supply of some chips for their holographic mobile phones? Put pressure on them." The call was connected and Wilbur spoke.
"It's impossible. The Army Ant Group's chips are self-sufficient. We only license some patent agreements and some baseband chips. We just want to do business quietly, be responsible for our investors and shareholders, and will not get involved in this muddy water.
In the past few years, Microsoft's system market share has plummeted, Apple's mobile phone market share has shrunk, and its stocks have plummeted. The army ants' chips are no worse than ours. If the army ants target us, it won't be me putting pressure on them, but them putting pressure on us, and our company will be in trouble. Don't come to me, I can't help. "
A decisive voice came from the other end of the phone, and Wilbur's face darkened. He didn't expect to be rejected so simply by the president of Qualcomm.
The terrifying technology of the marching ant group is not limited by them at all.
"Contact the person in charge of the American branch of Army Ant and talk to them."
…
Yin Hongye entered the conference room and was shocked when he saw Mullen and Wilbur. He cheered up and walked in expressionlessly.
He didn't know what happened when Wilbur came here in person this time.
Now there is a lot of buzz about the siege of their army ant group, and it is very likely that Wilbur in front of him took the lead.
Sitting down in his seat, Yin Hongye said nothing, waiting for the other party to speak.
"Your company is a high-tech company, and we very much welcome high-tech companies to enter our market." Wilbur listened and looked at Yin Hongye.
"Well, you continue, Mr. Wilbur." Yin Hongye said calmly.
Welcome high-tech companies to enter the market and continue to suppress restrictions. Even if you say this, no one will believe it, but Yin Hongye did not say it and listened carefully.
"We welcome high-tech companies, but your company has been suspected of monopoly and unfair competition."
"Mr. Wilbur, we do not monopolize the market, nor do we have unfair competition. All of our business activities are legal and compliant."
Wilbur glanced at Yin Hongye, did not take his words to heart, and continued.
“We can give your company greater market freedom, but we hope that your company can apply for patents for all holographic technologies, disclose technical data, and build corresponding holographic production lines in our country, so that we can recognize your corresponding market monopoly rights. "
"We don't have a monopoly. If you suspect that we have any non-compliance, you can sue us in court. We will not accept any conditions in private. Where the company builds factories is planned according to the company's needs." Yin Hongye said .
Son of a bitch.
Wilbur cursed in his mind.
These Chinese people say the same thing, but they don't get enough oil and salt.
