"Ralph, what's wrong? Which supermarket group did you negotiate with? "
Feng Yu had been eyeing that US supermarket group. Although it is much smaller than Wal-Mart, it is a good company and has potential.
If Feng Yu buys it, it will complement Tai Hua Supermarket Group's supply chain and can also set up some retail counters for Lenovo Group, Wind & Rain Electronics, etc., to increase their distribution channels in North America.
As for the funds, Feng Yu had already spoken to China. His investments in the financial markets will not be touched, and he will get loans to invest.
"Boss, the supermarket group is not settled yet. The UK side still wants to keep some of their shares and does not agree to let us invest in them. But I dare to guarantee that this US supermarket group will be acquired before the Olympic Games. "
"Now, we have a new problem. Lenovo Group is being sued by the Fruit Company."
Feng Yu raised his brows. He was not surprised by this. It was common for companies to sue each other in the same industry, especially their competitors.
"What are they suing Lenovo Group for? Dumping or monopoly? "
From Feng Yu's point of view, these were the only two crimes. De facto monopoly is not against the law as long as the company does not use its monopoly position to affect other companies.
Lenovo Group is selling their products in North America through L-Pad with prizes, and their other products are sold for free. This should not be considered as tie-in sales. Feng Yu had asked Wilson before, and he said it is fine.
As for dumping, it is a matter of selling their products at a loss. Lenovo Group's profits from selling L-Pad are very high, and they are still making money from the promotional prizes.
But if they include the advertising fees, exhibition fees, etc., they are not making money. But they did not make any losses, because the celebrities they hired are very cheap.
For example, the popular Robert Jr. had signed the contract a long time ago, and the prices are very low. The TV commercials are not only for L-Pad, but also for other Lenovo Group products. That's why the advertising fees are not high.
That means L-Pad is not selling their products at a loss, and they are selling their products at a discounted price. These are all legal. Wilson had promised Feng Yu that even if they lose the case, they will not be fined heavily and will not make a final decision within three years.
Within three years, L-Pad had implanted their brand deeply into the consumers' minds. Even if they lose the case, they will control the market.
With their brand's influence, they will control the market in the future. The Fruit Company will not have any chance to make a comeback!
"There's dumping, monopolization, unfair competition, disturbance … a total of seventeen crimes!"
17 charges?!
Feng Yu was also shocked. He does not know much about the US laws, but he knows that every state has their own laws. After all, they are the United States of America. For example, some states are allowed to smoke marijuana, and some states are not. But 17 crimes are too many.
Alright, there's no need to worry when there are so many lice. One is still a lawsuit, seventeen is still a lawsuit. I'll leave it to Wilson.
"Just inform Wilson. There are a few law firms in North America that are cooperating with us. If the Fruit Company wants to sue, we will accompany them. Let's continue the promotional activities with prizes. Let their products be stored in the warehouse and slowly gather dust! "
Wilson had been working for Feng Yu for many years. His business had expanded from Hong Kong to China, Asia to Europe, and then to the US.
Although he is old, his team of lawyers will be the ones participating in the legal debates in the US and Europe. His assistants will help him prepare the documents, and most of the time, he does not even need to be present. All he needs to do is to show his name, and he will win the case.
Wilson's career as a lawyer was able to span the two completely different legal systems of the European and American legal system and the continental legal system, which made him famous.
The British Royal Family's lawyer, Feng Yu's legal consultant, and the legal representative of the fastest-growing law firm in recent years. All of these titles are well known.
Furthermore, all these titles are on the same person.
Since he started working for Feng Yu, he had never lost a single case. It's either a win or a draw.
The so-called draw was an out-of-court settlement, or the defense side had fought for the most satisfactory benefits. It was also because of this that Wilson became the most famous lawyer in economic litigation.
Wilson is very careful when he defends tycoons in criminal cases. Feng Yu has shares in his law firm, and Feng Yu is the biggest shareholder.
Wilson knows Feng Yu does not like those heartless tycoons, and he will not help those tycoons in court for money. Even if the tycoons offer him a lot of money, he will not be tempted.
He might lose Feng Yu for a small sum of money. If he is not an idiot, he should know what to choose.
After Wilson received Ralph's call, he chose a large team of lawyers and flew to the US.
When the lawyers from the Fruit Company saw Wilson and his team, they were shocked. Their team of twenty lawyers was already huge, but when they saw the crowd behind Wilson, there were probably more than a hundred of them. Their aura immediately weakened a lot.
This is a lawsuit and not a gang fight. Is there a need to bring so many people? There are so many of you, and the court cannot allow all of you to attend.
During a court hearing, there are not many lawyers present. Usually, there are only a few of them. But even if there are a lot of lawyers, it is already considered good. The court will not be able to accommodate so many lawyers.
Although they knew that most of the lawyers were in charge of collecting information and assisting outside the court, they had never seen such a large group of lawyers.
Even the judge in charge of the case was stunned. The number of media reporters who came to interview was even less than the number of lawyers!
"Lawyer Wilson, are you confident of representing Lenovo Group against the Fruit Company in court?"
"Lawyer Wilson, is it because you are not confident enough to bring so many people with you?"
"Lawyer Wilson, what do you have to say about the Fruit Company's allegations?"
The reporters' flashes kept flashing, and all the cameras were pointed at Wilson. There were even reporters who came in their interview cars. The cars were equipped with rocker cameras, so the reporters couldn't squeeze in, but they could still clearly capture the scene, and the sound was incomparably clear.
"Lenovo Group denies all the allegations made by the Fruit Company. I am very surprised. This is obviously a false accusation. How can the state court accept it? I have never lost to such false accusations before, and I will never lose again! "
