My 1999

Pacific No. 1 Fund and Qinglong No. 1 Fund are currently the two most profitable among the dozens of funds under Hanhua, and they are also Hanhua's signatures.

"Hanhua's money is really calculated by you. However, the risks in the technology industry are too high, especially in an environment like China. The risks are even higher. If you invest so much at once, aren't you afraid of losing it all in the end?"

Xu Liang smiled and said: "I have invested in hundreds of projects in the past few years. Have you ever seen me lose money? Besides, although the risks in the technology industry are high, once successful, the rewards are also amazing.

High investment and high output, I am willing to take a gamble. "

"Okay, the money is yours anyway. If you are willing to take the risk, take the risk. If you lose, don't regret it." Jiang Xiaoyang said.

"Don't worry, I won't regret it."

Xu Liang said confidently.

"By the way, the investment application funds received by Pacific No. 1 Fund now exceed 70 billion US dollars, and it is still growing rapidly. By the time it officially starts raising funds, it will definitely expand to 100 billion US dollars.

So, should we issue a charter now? "

Xu Liang understood what he meant. Behind the hundreds of billions of dollars in capital were the top chaebols from all over the world.

If one person doesn't handle it well, he will offend the other person, which will be very detrimental to the future development of the company.

If it is handled well, it will be a major opportunity for the development of Hanhua and its own companies.

"Send me some information and I'll take a look at it first."

"Um."

After a moment of silence, Jiang Xiaoyang's voice sounded full of yearning.

"When will you come back?"

Sensing the resentment on the phone, Xu Liang's tone softened.

"The acquisition of MGM has encountered some setbacks, but I have already thought of a solution. I will go back when I complete the acquisition of MGM."

"Do you want my help?"

"No need. Recently, several funds in Hanhua have to be liquidated. You are already busy enough. You don't have to worry about me anymore. This is not a problem for me."

"Yeah. You should pay more attention to your health when you are out there alone. We have already made a lot of money. It's okay to make less."

"Don't worry, I'll pay attention."

After chatting for a few more words, Jiang Xiaoyang reluctantly hung up the phone.

Xu Liang let out a long breath.

Every time he deals with his confidante, it is a happy and troublesome thing for him.

The gentle concern comforted him, but he was afraid that while chatting, the other party would ask embarrassing questions that he could not answer.

Fortunately, everything is okay and he has not encountered this situation yet.

But he also understood that with the energy of the Jiang family, it was impossible for him to be ignorant of what he was doing.

After all, he did not hide anything about An Kaiyue, Futian Xinmei and others.

But so far, neither the Jiang family nor Jiang Xiaoyang have said anything, which is obviously their acquiescence.

But he wasn't sure how long this acquiescence would last.

"Forget it, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. Let's talk about it later."

Dong Dong…….

There was a sudden knock on the door.

"Come in."

Lu Hui opened the door and walked in quickly.

"Mr. Xu, I just received news that Google filed a lawsuit with the California High Court, suing Hongmeng Bing's search engine technology for infringing on 17 of their patents.

At present, the California High Court has accepted the case and the notice of response has been issued. "

Jingle Bell…….

Xu Liang's cell phone rang.

He picked it up and looked at the caller ID before pressing the answer button.

"Mr. Xu, Google filed a lawsuit with the California Superior Court..."

Lu Xiaobo's tone was filled with anxiety.

"I already know the matter. Your task now is to manage the company well. The people from the legal department of the head office will be responsible for responding to the lawsuit."

"Mr. Xu, Google is coming fiercely, and Oracle is watching from the side. We are facing a lot of trouble this time. Although the legal elites of the head office are excellent, they do not understand the business and legal circles in the United States. Why don't you let me join? .

I have lived in the United States for many years and know this country well. "

Xu Liang refused directly.

"No. Google's lawsuit is just a scabies disease, not a big trouble. The normal development of the company is the most important thing, especially now it is most important to ensure the company's stability, so your task is very heavy."

"Mr. Xu..."

"Okay, I still have a lot of things to do here, so that's it."

Xu Liang hung up the phone.

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Xie's phone number."

Lu Hui handed over the phone.

"Lao Xie, you also know?"

"Well. I have asked the technology department to analyze the technology involved in the case that Google sued us. Although there is no result yet, Lao Shen said that it is unlikely to lose the case, but he is afraid that Google will use unplanned means, such as politics. "

"It's not possible, it's certain. Even if Eric Schmidt doesn't need it, Ellison and Howard will help him. However, no matter how hard they try, we will remain unchanged in response to changes.

If they are not suing, we will use the best business lawyers to respond.

If they use off-the-chart moves, then we will take advantage of them. "

"When you say that, I feel relieved." Xie Wen said.

Hongmeng does not lack money, nor does it lack background.

After two rounds of financing in Series A and B, Hongmeng’s shareholders include Wall Street investment banking giants and top European banks. Ellison wants to use off-market moves, but he also has to weigh whether he can cope with the anger of so many people.

"Lao Xie, Google's troika is not stupid, and Ellison is equally smart. They don't know that suing Hongmeng will not have any substantive results at all.

But they did it anyway.

Therefore, I suspect that their purpose is not to make Hongmeng pay and apologize, but to distract us. "Xu Liang said.

People’s energy is limited, and so is the company’s energy.

Now Hongmeng is in a quagmire in acquiring MGM, and Google has dragged Hongmeng into legal proceedings.

After the two incidents involve Hongmeng, the energy devoted to the company's development will undoubtedly decrease.

Hongmeng’s development is slow, giving latecomers a chance to catch up.

"Mr. Xu, I agree with your opinion. However, I think there is another layer to consider in Google's lawsuit."

"Oh? Tell me."

“Since its Series B financing, Hongmeng, which has grown rapidly, has become the world’s top Internet company in terms of valuation, dominating the Asian search market and accounting for 60% of the European search market. It is the search engine with the highest share in the world.

Google only has a certain degree of popularity in the English-speaking market. Still unknown internationally.

Once this legal battle starts, there will be no results within two or three years.

If Google mobilizes the media to promote it continuously, it will attract more and more people's attention. In other words, Google uses our name to promote its own company.

Even if the lawsuit fails in the end, as long as Google's share of the search market increases, it will still make money.

That's why he chose California Superior Court to litigate, rather than the International Court of Justice. "

Hongmeng Bing has almost no business in the United States, and even if it wins a lawsuit in the United States, it will not have many substantial benefits.

Google knows this, and so does Hongmeng.

"It seems that we are going to suffer a loss this time." Xu Liang said with a smile.

“Eric Schmidt, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, they really caught us off guard.

However, if Google wants to benefit from us, it must promote it in all aspects. This in itself will also have certain benefits for our brand promotion and will also increase our market share, so it is not all bad. "

Hearing this, a sentence suddenly popped into Xu Liang's mind.

If the boss fights with the second child, the third child will die.

If Hongmeng Bing and Google's market share increases, the unlucky ones will naturally be second-tier search companies such as Yahoo, MSN, Baidu, and Yahoo Japan.

"Since we can't get rid of it, let's file a lawsuit. However, we can't relax in terms of publicity, lest others think that we have really stolen Google's technology."

"clear."

"By the way, Lao Xie. Don't let Lu Xiaobo participate in this legal lawsuit with Google."

"Um."

"One last thing. We can't let Google and Oracle lead the way. You immediately launch a formal tender offer to Sun Microsystems in the name of the company.

The price can be higher. "

Ellison wants to prevent Hongmeng from acquiring MGM, so he will treat others the way he wants.

Let him also have a taste of being blocked.

"To what extent are we involved in Sun Microsystems' acquisition?" Xie Wen asked.

"In a word, try to prevent Oracle from acquiring it as long as you can."

After agreeing, the two chatted for a while and hung up the phone.

Xu Liang held the mobile phone with a hint of seriousness on his face.

As Hongmeng develops, more and more interests are touched, its enemies are also increasing, and the resistance becomes more and more intense.

This contradiction is almost irreconcilable.

Unless Xu Liang surrenders.

"The most important thing now is to quickly advance the MGM acquisition and break Hongmeng's current external development dilemma."

Think of this.

Xu Liang made up his mind.

"Lu Hui, please contact Kerkorian from MGM immediately, and I'll treat him to dinner tomorrow night."

Lu Hui nodded and turned around and left.

——

"Cheers!"

"cheers."

The pale white wine sparkles with a strange color under the pale yellow light.

"Haha, that yellow-skinned monkey probably never dreamed that we would attack him from copyright this time." Ellison laughed.

"Thanks to Larry's wonderful plan, even if Hongmeng understands our purpose, he still has to hold his nose and swallow this bitter pill." Eric Schmidt smiled.

Just as Xu Liang and Xie Wen guessed, the purpose of Google's lawsuit is to distract Hongmeng's attention and promote Google's brand with the help of Hongmeng's growing reputation in the global market.

"I have contacted the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times for you. As long as the funds are available, they will reserve the best pages for you." Ellison said.

"Thank you so much," Schmidt smiled.

Larry Page took a sip of the red wine in his glass and looked at Ellison, a guy with a similar name to him, who had a red face and arrogant eyes.
