Entering the tail of October, Libra has passed, and it is the time when Scorpio comes.`````

Does this mean that the balance has been broken and that Scorpio has shown its sting? Perhaps mature middle-aged men will sneer at this superstitious statement, believing that the constellation is just a trick to deceive those underage girls.

However, at least one adult man began to feel in his heart that it was because of his own will?

China Panhan Group and BOE LCD Co., Ltd. filed a lawsuit with the Osaka District Court, suing Sharp, Toshiba, Nec and Hitachi for infringing on the two patents owned by Panhan Group, IPS screen and high-voltage driver IC, and demanding compensation for their economic losses and stopping the infringement.

The two Chinese companies sued the four major electronics industry companies in Japan, especially in Japan. This news is really exciting!

But no media reported it.

Press freedom is the banner of capitalists to clean up the government, and of course it is impossible to deal with themselves. The four major companies of the LCD industry alliance almost cover all the four major chaebols in Japan. These four major chaebols claiming to be the "limit government" of Japan is not a joke, and they have to bow down on everything that money reaches.

Such selling news, large companies openly infringe on the patent rights of other companies, should be very irritating to the audience. But whether it is newspapers or TV, they are almost in a silence.

Oh, not.

In fact, some media still report it, but it is not the media in the traditional sense, but the rising online media.

First of all, Japan's Yahoo has given a link to Piaohong News on the first screen of the website. Japan's Yahoo has visited IPs for 20 million today. It is the absolute overlord of Japan's Internet. It is not only a content provider, but also an access service provider. That is, an ISP service provider. Liuer Investment Fund was the first fund to invest in Yahoo, even after continuous financing and listing, it still owns 35% of Yahoo's shares.

Although it is only 35%, it is the well-deserved largest shareholder of Yahoo. Son's SoftBank Group invests more than Liuer Investment Fund, but in the end it can only get 30% of the shares. Yahoo shares ranked third is third hedge fund, with only a pitiful 18%. The remaining majority of other scattered shareholders are even only 1% or less.

In this case, it is only a matter of one sentence to Pang Zhou's homepage position on Yahoo, Japan.

Since Xinke Computer Company went public in Hong Kong, Masayoshi Son, the second largest shareholder, is now the time to mix oil with Fanhan Group. Zhou Shuo ordered the sale of large amounts of shares in Xinke Computer. The largest acquirer is SoftBank Group.

SoftBank Group does not belong to any chaebol or consortium in Japan. And as Yahoo's second largest investor and the main promoter of the Internet economy in Japan, SoftBank and Pan-Han Group have many common interests. As a Korean in Japan (he said that his ancestors were Chinese, and North Korea from the Song Dynasty), Son has always seemed out of place with the traditional Japanese business community.

With such an opportunity to show his muscles, he was happy to do the last match. Anyway, Pang Zhou was ahead, and resentment could not be implicated in him.

Yahoo Japan monopolized 80% of Japanese netizens. In 1997, Japan's Internet access rate also reached 15%. Most of them are young people and the mainstream social class with higher education. They are the most accepted audiences for technology and business news.

Yahoo's special report suddenly caused the lawsuit against the four major electronic companies of Fanhan Group and BOE. One out of 10 young people in Japan knew about this. It was definitely possible. Which major Japanese newspapers and TV stations dared to say that they could make a show and the ratings of 8 million?

And Yahoo's Japanese website did it. In 1997, Japan conservatively estimated that 15 million netizens could reach 15 million, of which 80% of the default search engines for netizens to go online were Yahoo. Even if not everyone would click on this news link, the huge red font title can still leave some impressions.

Although there is no report from TV stations or newspapers, the relevant news is still spreading rapidly. In addition to Yahoo's support, Japanese **bs, blogs, related technology, business information websites and personal websites are everywhere.

How Sharp gets the technology of IPS panels and high-voltage drive I, how to forcibly produce despite patent obstruction, how to steal BOE's orders from Guanjie, and how to propose unscrupulous compensation conditions...

This series of reports tells the story of having a nose and eyes, as if the author had experienced it personally. Although Japanese society is controlled by six major consortiums, countless small businesses are also the cornerstone of society. Who does not empathize with Sharp's patent rights without any scruples?

The prevention and vigilance of large enterprises has been completely ignited by this incident.

At this time, it shows the bureaucratic and rigid side of Japanese large enterprises. Without the intervention of TV stations and newspapers, the publicity and public relations department did not take online public opinion seriously at all. Even Hara Heisuke, who had long been on the alert, asked to pay attention to the Internet, but the relevant professionals did not have this relationship at all?

"Anyway, it's just circulating on the Internet, just pretending it doesn't exist!"

This is the reply from the Minister of Public Relations and Security to Hara Heisuke in person.

The Osaka District Court accepted this patent infringement case within five working days. Panhan Group and BOE sued the four major electronic companies, demanding compensation of 100 million US dollars of related patent use costs. Among them, Sharp was particularly obsessed with, not only asking it to compensate 40 million US dollars of patent expenses, but also proposing punitive damages of 60 million US dollars.

As soon as the news came out, there was a lot of attention online.

Just when Yuan Heisuke was about to teach Pang Zhou a lesson in court, he didn't expect that Pang Zhou had already prepared another battlefield to give Sharp a head-on blow.

In November, the Asian financial crisis has intensified, and the depreciation of the yen can be said to be three shocks a day. Japanese financial institutions and banks that once invested heavily in Southeast Asia began to go bankrupt and go bankrupt in large quantities. Even those units that barely survived were facing strong financial pressure.

On November 3, 1997, as soon as the stock markets in Tokyo and Osaka in Japan opened, Sharp's stock suddenly showed a large number of selling orders!

Against the backdrop of the financial crisis, Sharp's performance is already in danger. He was infected with a patent infringement scandal and faced a punitive compensation of $100 million, and investors inevitably lowered their expectations for Sharp's stock price. After all, it seems that Sharp's infringement can be said to be a foregone conclusion. As the first to be beaten, it is really unknown whether Sharp can obtain the authorization of these two patents in the future.

Who told you that Sharp is the most damning one? The other three companies may lose money and get authorization. You are probably excluded. As an important strategic development direction in the future, it is normal for investors to have a pessimistic impression of it.

When a large number of selling orders appeared, Sharp's stock immediately fell!

Just one hour after the opening in the morning, Sharp's stock price fell from 440 yen to 400 yen, and rolled towards 380 yen.

In other words, in just one hour, Sharp's assets suddenly shrank by one tenth.

Now Fanhan Group is a little powerful in Japan, with SoftBank support in publicity, and economically, it is subject to the promise of authorizing two patents to Toshiba in the future, in exchange for Toshiba's cooperation.

Toshiba has Sharp stocks in its hands, of course, Sharp actually has some Toshiba's stocks in its hands. But in the LCD panel market, it is not strange that Toshiba wants to kill Sharp. If BOE wants to enter the Japanese market, it must authorize the technology to other companies, otherwise the antitrust investigation will fall on its head in minutes.

In this case, if selling Sharp can get technical authorization, Toshiba will agree with it 100%.

On the one hand, Toshiba sold a large amount of Sharp's stocks, and on the other hand, it was related to Toshiba's introduction, Pang Zhou also borrowed Sharp's stocks from stock brokers and sold them.

The general pessimism in the market encounters such a large-scale selling order, where is Sharp's stock price better?

By the close of the morning, Sharp's stock decline even lowered the Nikkei index by nearly 100 points!

"Ministry, Minister!" Liuri Kyoka pushed open the gate of the Osaka District Court in fear. Her panic shouting even caused many people in the surrounding office to poke their heads out curiously.

Hearing her voice, Haraguchi walked out of the office of the district inspection office, frowned and said, "Kyoka, this is the court, don't be looked down upon by people of our Sharp Club!"

"Hi!" Liuri Kyoka found Harahisuke, and she felt relaxed immediately. She leaned on her knees and gasped for two breaths and said, "Minister, we have been fooled! The Chinese sued us is a conspiracy. This morning, we shorted our Sharp stocks in the stock market, and the stock price fell by more than 10%! The president and the president are all waiting for you in the company..."

Upon hearing this, Harashi Heisuke shook suddenly and hurriedly held the wall. Sharp's stock price fell by 10%, which means that all Sharp's shareholders' value has shrunk by 10%, which means that - whether it is the president or the president, they must have lost their eyes now.
Chapter completed!
