Chapter 491 Exorbitant Compensation! A New Conspiracy
"Mr. Lin, we can offer financial compensation to make up for the losses this incident has caused to your company."
Furthermore, as long as you accept the settlement, the lifting of the seizure and the clarification process can be completed today.
Lin Chen looked up at him, his smile deepening, as if the businesslike man from just moments ago had never existed.
"Mr. Edward, you should have said so earlier. Isn't this a waste of your time?"
I'll apply to headquarters first.
After saying that, he took out a cell phone and went to the office phone booth to make a symbolic call to Shen Fei.
Edward finally picked up the teacup on the table with trembling hands. For the first time, he felt what it meant for each day to feel like an eternity!
I'm so nervous!
Three minutes later, Lin Chen returned to the meeting room, sat down, and held up seven fingers.
"Headquarters's order is seven hundred million euros. Not a penny less, and this matter can be resolved."
After saying that, Lin Chen glanced at him, and Edward across from him indeed stood up from his chair.
7 million?
Is that impossible?
"Your subsidiary's revenue in England is at most 100 million, why are you asking for 700 million?"
"Mr. Edward's view is too shallow."
Lin Chen calmly recalled an abacus and, in front of the other party, began to perform this "Eastern sorcery".
"First, the England subsidiary's operations were suspended for a month, resulting in a direct economic loss of approximately £2.1 million."
Secondly, the channel partners terminated their contracts, resulting in breach of contract penalties and expected revenue losses of 3.2 million yuan due to project delays.
Secondly, the brand's reputation has been damaged, and the expansion structure in the European market has been disrupted. I'll give you a discount on this aspect, and only calculate it as 1.7 million.
That adds up to exactly seven hundred million; we didn't ask for a single penny more.
After saying that, he leaned forward slightly, poured Edward another cup of tea, and then said in a slightly playful tone:
"If the other party feels it's unreasonable, then we'll go through the normal procedures?"
When it comes to lawsuits, Transsion may not have much else, but we can still afford to maintain our legal and security teams.
Let's slowly wear them down over three to five years!
"Moreover, if your company infringes on our trade secrets and causes a commercial leak... that won't be something that 7 million can solve."
After saying that, he looked at Edward with an expression that said, "I'm such a kind person..."
After all, these are all based on reasonable legal requirements.
Edward panicked. He knew that the demands made by the telepathic communication were reasonable, but while they were reasonable, he really couldn't come up with the money!
And if this drags on, the police in England will be driven crazy! That will mean a huge expenditure!
But they can't accept this money; they have to get the Hawkeye Alliance to pay for it. Good brothers, let's share the blame.
He gritted his teeth, thinking of the authority his superiors had given him, and finally said, "Fine! 7 million euros, we'll pay it."
We also hope that your company will exercise restraint in its security personnel and refrain from appearing in large groups on the streets, as this is not a good thing for a country's image.
Lin Chen ignored him and just rubbed her hands together.
If the money is there, everything is fine; if not, then we'll continue.
That same afternoon, the entire 700 million euro compensation from the CMA was transferred to the account designated by Chunyin.
Immediately afterwards, the CMA official website released an announcement.
After investigation, it was found that Transsion Holdings Co., Ltd. did not abuse its dominant market position, and all seizure measures were lifted. The company apologized for the enforcement error.
Meanwhile, a private settlement has been reached with Transsion Holdings, and this matter is now closed!
While Europeans were vehemently criticizing them, in America's White House, Obama, looking at the report, kept cursing:
"These idiots from Cma have messed things up so badly, yet they still have the nerve to ask us for funding!"
This is their own business!
However, an aide suggested, "Sir, you should at least do your part, after all, they are our underlings."
And he did it under our instructions; we can't let that discourage people!
Obama instantly revealed an extremely angry expression, his face contorted in rage!
It's all Transmission's fault, it's all Shen Fei's fault. It was his actions that made him the "best" president in America, truly making his mark on history!
As a result, his own allies were still of no use.
But ordinary consumers in Europe have already started criticizing it online.
"Those idiots at CMA, weren't they incredibly arrogant these days? How come they've given up so quickly??"
"This money must be deducted from CMA's salary; we cannot bear this cost."
But just when Edward thought the matter was finally over and he could breathe a sigh of relief, his secretary said:
"Edward, the boss wants you to come over!"
Seeing his secretary's expression, he tentatively asked, "What's wrong?"
"Boss... Boss, using telepathy... using telepathy is not a matter of martial ethics."
Their legal team has just filed a lawsuit in the London High Court, accusing us of malicious enforcement by the CMA and violating company secrets, and demanding that we issue an apology.
In addition, an additional 200 million euros in research funding will be allocated.
Moreover, they exposed that we had to pay 700 million euros in compensation, and all netizens are criticizing us...
"You...take a look for yourself."
Edward's vision went black, and he fainted.
About 10 minutes later, he recovered thanks to his secretary's first aid.
Only after seeing the announcement on Transsion's official website did he realize that the other party never intended to settle this matter.
This is someone else's first slap!
After he gets hit, there's a second one coming!
But the more he looked at the official website, the angrier he became. Transsion actually stated on the website that on average, every English citizen paid £14 for their mistake.
"Damn it! How dare they?" Edward slammed his fist on the table. "Do they really want to be blacklisted by England?"
He was so angry during that process that he trembled all over, but he lost his temper as soon as he finished speaking.
Why wouldn't they dare?
Even the United States, with its tough bones, still got its bones broken. The CIA, with its formidable strength, also ran into obstacles!
He's just a CMA, why would anyone take him seriously?
…………
Meanwhile, at the Yangcheng Transsion headquarters, Shen Fei received Lin Chen's report and simply smiled faintly.
"An apology and compensation are both necessary."
If you dare to reach out, you must be prepared to have your arm broken.
"Also, Tianya (a Chinese online forum) has asked our American security company to find out what's going on. They've suffered such a huge loss, they definitely won't stay quiet. I suspect they're up to something!"
"Don't worry, boss, it's already under investigation!"
Shen Fei's premonition was correct; on the other side, a new crisis was rising.
…………
May 15th, America.
The president's office internal phone line was dialed directly to the private phone of Thompson, the head of Silver Lake Capital.
The caller was the White House National Security Advisor.
"Mr. Thompson, the President is very dissatisfied with the situation in Europe."
"San Sang has surrendered again, and the English are relieved. If Transsion continues to expand like this, the entire international technology market will become Chinese territory!"
"I know, sir, but the technological barriers to communication are too high, and traditional business methods are ineffective against them."
"So let's change our strategy this time!"
