Chapter 241 Find a place
Mr. Li finally agreed to Zhou Liwen's prosecution proposal. A few days later, the legal department of TCL Group officially sued MediaTek locally. As soon as this incident broke out, the counterfeit mobile phone bosses who had never been resolved were all excited as if they were injected with chicken blood, and successively submitted lawsuits against MediaTek in their respective local courts. According to preliminary statistics, there are 253 companies that sued MediaTek, including TCL Group, and demanded MediaTek to compensate for economic losses of up to 4.7 billion yuan, and TCL alone accounted for 45% of them, and 2.2 billion yuan. This case is called the first commercial economic compensation case in the new millennium. This case involves a wide range of areas, has many affiliated companies, and has a great impact that is almost unprecedented since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Even if the mainland policies have generous and caring for Taiwanese companies, it is impossible for so many companies, especially large companies like TCL, to sue a Taiwanese company, and it is impossible for local officials to make big moves and small things. Moreover, due to the problems of counterfeit mobile phones, there are countless business owners who have to be pants in this feast that has not yet begun. Local governments have long been thwarted by this matter, and I don’t know what to do.
Now that the prosecution has reached the point of prosecution, local governments have seen hope of solving the problem. In their opinion, it is worth sacrificing MediaTek to appease so many companies as a whole. Society needs stability and society needs harmony. Anyway, MediaTek is not a private enterprise, and a Taiwan Strait company has nothing to do. Beating a dog in the water and killing MediaTek not only gives an explanation for this incident, but also can also stabilize the place and increase the effect of its own chickens. Why not do it?
Even in some places, when they learned that the government had begun to investigate MediaTek and promised to give each company an explanation, some bosses even made banners and gongs to send them to relevant departments, crying and crying with tears and snot to praise these great masters for the people. This further inspired these officials to make a show and use all their energy to toss MediaTek.
Afterwards, the incident considered by the Southeast Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government was too wide and had too great an impact, so they absolutely concentrated their efforts to handle it in a unified manner. The province specially formed a special task force to merge and deal with the prosecutions in various places. And according to the reasonable requirements of the "victimized enterprises", the factory of MediaTek in the Southeast was sealed and reviewed, and all bank accounts were also frozen to avoid the other party's capital evasion.
When the news reached the Taiwan Strait, MediaTek was panicked. Southeast Province is the base for MediaTek to enter the mainland market and an important center for MediaTek's headquarters in the mainland. The seizure of companies and several factories in the southeast, coupled with the freezing of bank accounts, Cai Mingjie was in chaos for a while. He never expected that the other party would take such a move. According to his original plan, he was preparing to take the government route and threaten the investment through MediaTek's personal connection channels, forcing the government to put pressure on these companies, thereby suppressing the matter.
But who would have thought that before he could finish this matter, TCL jumped out first. TCL is a pillar enterprise in Goose City, and its influence is not comparable to that of a company like MediaTek. Although TCL was almost bankrupt before, at least the local government was still trying its best to maintain the operation of the enterprise and trying every means to save the enterprise. Now, after Zhou Liwen took action, TCL has rekindled, which made the local government officials excited. Afterwards, TCL sued the local area and revealed the "truth" of the previous crisis through relations. After learning the truth, the local officials almost got angry. After a long time, the real culprit was MediaTek!
You should know that the mainland is currently centered on economic development. Eichuang is a small city with a small population and its urban foundation is not as good as a capital like Huacheng. As a famous local enterprise, TCL's importance can be imagined. To destroy TCL, it can be said that officials from all over Eichuang are not good. Without chickens, how can they still have the capital to be promoted? Is MediaTek doing this to destroy their political future? With the same hatred of the enemy, how can they still control MediaTek is a Taiwan Strait enterprise? He accepted TCL's prosecution without saying a word.
Things did not worsen at all, and in the end, no one in the local government department of MediaTek dared to stand out for MediaTek. No one was foolish. In this case, it would not mean telling others that they had collusion with MediaTek? Now the cases have come to the province and have set up a special task force. Once they are considered to have taken the benefits of MediaTek, they have to be invited to drink barley tea. In the choice that political life may be affected and political life will be affected immediately, everyone will take the initiative to choose the latter. In this way, Cai Mingjie's plan to turn big things into small things will be completely lost.
As Cai Mingjie not only failed to calm the incident, but the matter became more and more troublesome, MediaTek's board of directors formally proposed to re-elect the chairman. However, this proposal was finally not reached when Cai Mingjie had absolute controlling rights. Some directors were discouraged and began to sell their shares in MediaTek. At this time, the incidents that happened in the mainland were spread to the Taiwan Strait through Xiangjiang. MediaTek, which was undergoing the listing procedures, received a notice from the Taiwan Strait securities in its securities institutions that the review of MediaTek's listing would be indefinitely, and no mention of it was made as to when it would be launched.
This another blow made Cai Mingjie almost vomit blood. At this time, Cai Mingjie was almost crazy. He deeply felt the helplessness and anger that was caused by internal and external troubles. However, Cai Mingjie was not Li, and MediaTek was not TCL. Compared with TCL, MediaTek is larger in scale and more powerful in capital. More importantly, MediaTek's headquarters is in the Taiwan Strait, which is something that the mainland government cannot reach.
Cai Mingjie thought about it and finally decided to adopt a two-handed strategy. One hand is to counterattack the mainland cases and to save MediaTek's investment in the mainland. The second hand is a hero's short-lived man. While responding to the lawsuit, Cai Mingjie is ready to withdraw investment from the mainland anytime and anywhere. Even if he gives up the mainland market, he cannot drag down MediaTek's headquarters.
At the same time, Cai Mingjie also asked his confidants to frequently go back and forth to the Taiwan Strait and the mainland to negotiate with individuals in charge of mainland branches and factories, trying to shift the responsibility from the group to the branch or factory, or even personal, and use a trick to throw a pawn and protect the car.
Hengdian.
Since this place filmed "Opium War" in 1996 and "Jing Ke Assassination of Qin King" in 1997, Hengdian has become a famous film and television base in China. Since 2000, with the scale of Hengdian, local governments have taken free measures to film, so as to attract crews from all over the world to come to Hengdian for filming.
On this day, Zhou Liwen drove from Shanghai to Hengdian. He came here not for a trip, nor did he walk by the way, but as one of the producers, he came to see the crew's progress.
Speaking of which, this matter was caused by counterfeit mobile phones. When Zhou Liwen found that the serial number of the mobile phone chip system used by MediaTek was completely consistent, he thought of Wei Zi's key to solving the problem. However, if Wei Zi wants to help this, he will owe others a favor. It just so happened that Wei Zi told himself that Jun Ge was planning to invest in a TV series and lacked investors. Jun Ge had already found Wei Zi several times for this matter, but Wei Zi had no intention of investing at all. It was not that he lacked such a little money. The key was that Jun Ge's film and television company was completely a waste of money. In recent years, he invested tens of millions of dollars and wasted. Even Wei Zi lost millions in it.
Wei Zi is not short of this little money, but his money is not caused by the strong wind. This time, the second time is still successful, but he is annoyed Brother Jun if he can't see the return. Just so happened that Zhou Liwen asked him to do this. Wei Zi thought about it after a moment of thinking. As long as Zhou Liwen was willing to take on this investment for him, this matter would definitely not be a problem.
In this way, Zhou Liwen, a person who had never been in the art world, became an inexplicable producer. This time, he invested 6 million in a confused manner without seeing the script of the TV series. It would be fine if he invested money, but he just thought it was the money that Wei Zi and Jun Ge helped him. But who would have thought that a few days ago, Brother Jun suddenly called Zhou Liwen and said that the crew was ready and was about to start filming in Hengdian, so that Zhou Liwen, the producer, came to show up and talk to everyone. When he heard about this, Zhou Liwen was amused and crying, but after Jun Ge's repeated advice, it was difficult to shirk it, so he could only go to Hengdian with his teeth.
This is the first time Zhou Liwen came back to this place. After getting off the expressway, he walked along the signs and finally found the place. He entered from the northeast gate and passed Huaxia Avenue to Hengdian Town. There were ancient scenery everywhere along the way. From time to time, people wearing costumes from various eras walked around, which made people feel like time and space were staggered.
The car was close to the center and could not walk further. Zhou Liwen found a place to park the car, then called Brother Jun and asked where the other party was.
I don’t know what Brother Jun is doing. There were crackling sounds on the other side of the phone, and it was a bit like setting off firecrackers. I heard him say something about the river building in the Ming and Qing Dynasties on the phone. After asking a few questions, he stopped the phone before he could find out whether it was Taibai Building or Zuixian Building.
With a wry smile, Zhou Liwen shook his head, and found a passerby and asked about the general direction, then walked towards the destination. After walking for a few minutes, he saw the location of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Seeing that he had not taken the wrong path, Zhou Liwen was slightly happy and quickly accelerated his pace and walked forward.
"oops!"
Just as Zhou Liwen came to the Qinhuai River in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, standing on the stone bridge and looking back and forth, Wang Jun Ge said that the building was, he was suddenly hit behind him. The collision was really heavy. If Zhou Liwen hadn't been strong enough, he would have almost been knocked down the bridge.
