Chapter 152 Sudden lawsuit
"Yeah, my parents are in Yangcheng this year, and I'm going to spend time with them during the Chinese New Year."
Hu Yang guessed that Huang Xinpei stopped him after the meeting not to talk nonsense, but he didn't bother to ask if the other party didn't say anything.
"Well, if possible, I should spend the New Year with my parents. Then wait until Mr. Hu comes back after the New Year, and we will talk about Deyang Cable Co., Ltd. then."
Last year, 1994, Xite Electric achieved impressive results. The company's total revenue was nearly more than 300 million yuan, and its net profit also reached 54 million yuan.
In addition, the company's listing raised a huge amount of funds, Huang Xinpei revisited the old matter and prepared to fully acquire Deyang Cable Co., Ltd.
"This matter is easy to say. No matter what, I am also a shareholder of Xite Electric, and I firmly support Mr. Huang's decision."
Hu Yang knew that his and others' equity in Deyang Cable Co., Ltd. was a financial investment. He helped Huang Xinpei stabilize his production capacity in the early stage, but now it was time to retire after his success.
"Haha, I know that Mr. Hu is a person who understands justice. In addition, I have one more thing that I want to trouble Mr. Hu with. Haven't you ever dealt with Academician Lu Yiming? I would like to ask Academician Lu to help us find some candidates at the Institute of Electrical Engineering and Technology.
experts. This year, the company plans to establish a research and development center with the Northeast Electric Power Research Institute to strive to conquer the key technologies of ultra-high voltage DC transmission."
Hu Yang once advised Huang Xinpei to establish his own technology research and development center. Otherwise, he would be subject to others in terms of technology, and the development of the company would definitely be restricted.
"Okay, I'll take the time to visit Academician Lu after the new year. To be honest, he has helped us so much, and I haven't thanked him in person yet. Mr. Huang, if I don't have anything else to do, I'll leave first. Let's celebrate the Spring Festival.
See you later!”
Hu Yang didn't say anything to wish him a happy new year. He would definitely call Huang Xinpei during the Chinese New Year, and it wouldn't be too late to greet him then.
After finishing his business in Xijiang, Populus euphratica took the opportunity to arrive in Yangcheng the day before New Year's Eve.
Because my villa is still being renovated, the family spends the New Year in a rented house. One advantage of spending the Spring Festival abroad is that it is not as tiring as at home.
The New Year's Eve dinner was scheduled at Yijia Restaurant on the edge of the Pearl River, which saved Li Guixiang from having to work alone for most of the day.
On the first day of the new year, we have morning tea at Yangcheng Restaurant, and then go to the flower market as a family. It is actually much more relaxed and comfortable than celebrating the New Year at home.
At the jade shop, Han Wu and Zhang Xiaolei returned to Xijiang for the holidays, leaving only Luo Ping and two local salesmen on duty.
On the third day of the new year, Hu Yang and Luo Ping had a meal together. However, Luo Ping was always a little reserved in front of Hu Yang and could no longer find the feeling of being a close friend.
There was nothing Hu Yang could do about this. In the previous life, the two of them had their own careers and interacted equally, and eventually became good friends who talked about everything.
In this life, Luo Ping worked for Hu Yang. Their statuses were very different, and they were two types of people.
"Mr. Hu, as this year has come to an end, the price of Hotan mutton-fat jade in Xiangjiang has begun to rise sharply. I think the price will definitely be transmitted to us before the first month. If possible, we still need to stock up on more raw materials.
."
The two of them were almost done drinking when Luo Ping suddenly spoke out the news.
This news is not surprising to Hu Yang. He has been purchasing the raw materials of Hotan mutton-fat jade since 1993. Yang Hu has kept all the top-quality jade raw materials. He also has a considerable amount of second-grade jade in stock.
, it’s just that he didn’t bring them all to Yangcheng.
After appeasing Luo Ping for a few words, Hu Yang ended the gathering with his old friends.
Although Luo Ping is still the Luo Ping in my impression, at most he looks younger than before. But Hu Yang always has a feeling that things are different and people are different. However, as an "old friend", he at least helped Luo Ping when he was at his lowest point.
After all, Luo Ping still has to walk the road ahead on his own.
On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Populus euphratica was originally scheduled to return to Xijiang, but the schedule was changed because of a phone call from Huang Xinpei.
In the afternoon, Hu Yang met Huang Xinpei at the terminal, who was rushing to Yangcheng. Huang Xinpei and his party were as many as six people, and Hu Yang's BMW couldn't fit in, so he had to take another taxi.
"Mr. Huang, why did Siemens sue our Seat Electricians? It stands to reason that we and them are not at odds with each other. Even if there is competition, our product lines are still very different."
In addition to Hu Yang driving, Huang Xinpei and his assistant were also sitting in the car. It is surprising that Siemens plans to sue Seat Electricians after the year.
At present, Siemens is an international giant in power transmission and transformation equipment and control software, and has long occupied the high-end of technology. Especially in the field of ultra-high voltage DC transmission, it is the well-deserved world leader.
However, Xite Electric is still in the stage of climbing up from mid- to low-end technologies, so there is no overlap between the two.
"Humph, there are so many reasons. It's obvious that someone wants to suppress our company. The matter has to start with Wang Tianming leaving Fengtian Transformer Factory. Didn't Wang Gong help us solve several key technical problems after he came?
?People are saying that Mr. Wang stole key technologies from Siemens.
Bah! When Fengtian Transformer Factory introduced the so-called advanced technology from Siemens, Wang Gong was involved. But before he came to Xijiang, the research and development of our new products had already reached a critical moment. How can we claim infringement?
Their products and their technical routes are not the same thing, I can guarantee this.”
After all, it was an international giant who was causing trouble, and Huang Xinpei did not dare to take it lightly. After receiving the news, he immediately brought people to Yangcheng to arrange the litigation in advance.
The reason why this lawsuit was conducted in Yangcheng was that the other party listed Seat Electrician and Guangdong Electric Power as defendants. The reason was that Seat Electric Hengzhou Transformer Co., Ltd., which supplied the goods to Guangdong Electric Power, was suspected of infringement.
Huang Xinpei had not mentioned the matter in detail on the phone before, and it was only then that Hu Yang understood the ins and outs of the lawsuit.
However, Hu Yang feels that the lawsuit initiated by Siemens may not be as simple as Huang Xinpei said. Is the other party just trying to suppress the technological progress of Xite Electric?
Recalling what Wang Tianming and Xia Bing said before, Siemens and Fengtian Transformer Factory had been engaged in marathon joint venture negotiations for many years. Hu Yang felt that the other party might want more, such as the entire domestic power transmission and transformation equipment.
market.
Hu Yang couldn't help with this matter for the time being. He hired a suitable lawyer to litigate the case in Yangcheng. Naturally, someone from the company's legal department would be in charge.
"Mr. Huang, Siemens has been negotiating a joint venture with Fengtian Transformer Factory, but they are unwilling to transfer more advanced technology. At the same time, they also want to get rid of all the baggage of Fengtian Transformer Factory, so the negotiation has not been concluded yet.
However, according to my analysis, Siemens probably has no good intentions in holding back Fengtian Transformer Factory. Their ultimate goal is most likely to acquire Fengtian Transformer Factory. Don’t forget, although Fengtian Factory has been in decline over the years,
After all, it is the industry leader in China. If it were to be successfully acquired by others, it would definitely not be good news for Xite Electrician.
Of course, I don’t think Siemens can win this lawsuit. At best, it will just set up some obstacles for us, so don’t worry too much.”
Siemens is a big mountain that cannot be bypassed on the development path of Xite Electric. Hu Yang also reminded Huang Xinpei to pay attention to Fengtian Transformer Factory.
Huang Xinpei nodded thoughtfully and became silent. He didn't know what he was thinking.
Hu Yang sent Huang Xinpei and others downstairs of the hotel. Instead of going upstairs, he drove away directly.
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Hu Yang and Huang Xinpei took the opportunity to return to Xijiang.
There is a dedicated person to follow up on the Siemens lawsuit. Huang Xinpei paid too much attention to it before, otherwise it would be just a lawsuit and it is really not worthy for him, the chairman of a listed company, to come to Yangcheng in person.
After returning from Yangcheng, Huang Xinpei had a strong sense of crisis. Within a few days, he issued an offer to fully acquire Deyang Cable Co., Ltd. to Hu Yang, Lu Yali and Tang Ziyu.
"Everyone, let me first apologize to you. Speaking of which, Deyang Cable Factory is what it is today, thanks to everyone's investment and reorganization of this company. However, you also know that Xite Electric is now a listed company and needs better
Performance. Only with performance can we continue to raise funds in the capital market.
For you, the equity of Deyang Cable Co., Ltd. is just a financial investment. But for Xite Electric, it is related to the future development of the company. So I kindly ask you to transfer all the equity to me, rest assured.
, I will never let you suffer in terms of the transfer fee."
Huang Xinpei's words have nothing new, and that's not what Lu Yali and Tang Ziyu care about. They have nothing to do with Huang Xinpei, everything depends on the valuation given by the other party.
It is foreseeable that the net profit of Deyang Cable Co., Ltd. in the next three years will not be less than 150 million yuan. For example, this year, the purchase contract of Xijiang Electric Power alone is around 180 million yuan, and Guangdong Electric Power Co., Ltd. can probably get several thousand yuan.
million contracts, which does not include orders from other provinces.
Therefore, the current valuation of Deyang Cable Co., Ltd. cannot be less than 250 million yuan. If it is lower than this figure, it will definitely be a hooligan.
However, Huang Xinpei only gave a valuation of 200 million in the end. In his words, there are still some uncertainties in the next three years, and the number of orders in a certain year cannot be used to predict profits in the next three years.
"Mr. Huang, I can accept the valuation of 200 million." Hu Yang suddenly stood up with a smile and said, "You continue to talk, I will go outside to smoke a cigarette and then come in."
Huang Xinpei knew that Hu Yang had taken the lead and made a concession, and was very grateful. After he left the conference room, Lu Yali and Tang Ziyu considered it for a moment and accepted the plan.
The two of them will definitely follow Hu Yang in concert.
Chapter completed!
