One big and one small are practicing love

The day after deciding to respond to the lawsuit, Zuo Kunmin began to establish an anti-dumping leading group.

Zuo Kunmin serves as the team leader, coordinating and managing all anti-dumping matters. Appointed Chen Qingyan and Zhang Yang, director of the Chu Tang Legal Department, as deputy team leaders.

Zhang Yang is responsible for the specific operations of legal affairs, hiring the best anti-dumping lawyers in the UK, and forming a professional anti-dumping legal team. Chen Qingyan is responsible for collecting domestic and foreign response materials and serving as backup to support the response.

On the third day after the anti-dumping leading group was established, they received the exact news that the British Ministry of Commerce decided to open an investigation and an anti-dumping lawsuit officially started.

From the first day of the war, all the staff of the Chu Tang Anti-dumping Team began to work day and night. Collect and organize the company's information, review relevant legal provisions, hold meetings to discuss the presentation of legal documents and facts, and make specific data, planning documents and other implementation plans...

All of them eat three meals a day in the office, work more than 14 hours a day, often stay up all night, take a nap on the sofa or in the lounge, and then start working again.

Sometimes, individual data cannot be collected through the Internet and need to be found on-site at relevant government units or other companies. Zuo Kunmin led the relevant staff and went straight to the location. No matter it was windy or rainy, he checked a lot of information without bothering.

When I returned to the company, even if my clothes got wet from the rain, I didn’t have time to go back to the hotel to change. I immediately returned to the office and compiled the collected data into detailed documentation and added it to the anti-dumping database.

In addition to the related work of the anti-dumping team, Zuo Kunmin also handles other daily affairs of the company. Ck company building new construction work, participating in video conferences of domestic head offices, reading and replying to necessary emails, etc.

Zuo Kunmin was often so busy that he forgot about himself. Occasionally, during the three to five minutes between meetings, he would stand in front of the window to wake up, take out the Longhu cooling oil from his suit pocket, apply it to his temples, and drink strong coffee. Looking at the dark sky, I miss her and the children.

How is she in Hangzhou? Are you tired from work? What difficulties have you encountered, can you solve them yourself? Did you also think of him?

Yanyan has been suffering from diarrhea recently. Food and water were flown in from China. Has her symptoms been relieved after taking them? Xiao Xu had a fight with his classmates, did Chang Chang handle it? Changchang is holding an art exhibition recently and has to take care of the children. Can he take care of it?

……

"Mr. Zuo, the meeting is about to begin."

I didn't even have the time or mood to make a phone call to say hello. I finished my cup of coffee and turned around to go to work.

In a blink of an eye, we arrived at the court where the first anti-dumping ruling was made. Zuo Kunmin led the staff of the anti-dumping team to attend. They had made sufficient preparations and were confident of winning the case.

During the three-hour trial, they listened, argued, and submitted materials and evidence. Finally, the court ruled that a series of electrical appliances originating in Chutang, China, were or would be sold in the UK market at a price lower than fair value. Chutang Group Co., Ltd. was sentenced to a dumping tax rate of 9.79%, and the rest did not respond to the lawsuit. The corporate dumping tax rate is as high as 124.5%.

At the court hearing, Zuo Kunmin sued the British Ministry of Commerce to the International Federal Circuit Court on the grounds that the ruling by the British Ministry of Commerce was unfair. In addition to the appeal to the Higher Court, Chutang Group also filed an annual administrative review with the UK Department of Commerce.

After the trial, Zuo Kunmin announced that all employees of the anti-dumping team would take a three-day vacation. This is the first time for everyone to take a break in more than two months.

After everyone dispersed, Zuo Kunmin found a KFC store and ate fried chicken nuggets and drank Coke in silence.

While eating, she received a call from Chen Qingyan, asking where he was and saying that she had something important to tell him and that she and Zhang Yang would come right away.

Ten minutes later, Chen Qingyan and Zhang Yang appeared at the same time and sat in front of Zuo Kunmin.

"Mr. Zuo, are you rewarding or punishing yourself for eating these junk foods?" Zhang Yang said with a smile.

Zuo Kunmin wiped his mouth and fingers with a paper towel, and said slowly: "When I am very tired, I want to eat high-calorie food. Do you want to eat? I'll treat you."

Zhang Yang stopped laughing, shook his head, and said seriously, "Manager Chen and I just learned some important information. After hearing this, maybe you will change some of your views on this anti-dumping lawsuit."

"Let's talk."

Chen Qingyan spoke first and said: "The Chinese Embassy in the UK is also paying attention to this case. The relevant person in charge told me that there are actually no legal facts in the anti-dumping lawsuit. Anti-dumping is a political issue, and the British Ministry of Commerce must safeguard it. Local business.”

"Many experienced anti-dumping lawyers told me that they did not conduct serious research at all, did not care about the information and evidence we provided, and made arbitrary decisions. Their ultimate goal was to bring us down. They first sentenced us to dumping and issued high tax bills. They responded to lawsuits time and time again. , appealed, and paid high deposits, which ultimately exhausted the company’s finances and energy, and naturally excluded it from the British market.”

Listening, Zuo Kunmin had no expression on his face and didn't speak. He just took out the Dragon Tiger cooling oil from his pocket and applied it to his temples calmly.

Chen Qingyan and Zhang Yang looked at each other.

"Mr. Zuo, what we mean is, don't appeal anymore. We can't afford it, so we should withdraw from the British market." Zhang Yang said bluntly.

Zuo Kunmin put away the cooling oil, his dark eyes suddenly became bright and powerful, and he said gently and firmly: "I don't!"

Before Zhang Yang could speak, Chen Qingyan frowned and said hurriedly: "But, for a lawsuit that has no fairness at all, we are just trying to beat the odds. Knowing that it will fail and consume, what are you trying to do?"

"Didn't you see this lawsuit? How many Chinese companies have endured unfair sanctions, been fined in vain, and been blatantly bullied. Why?" Zuo Kunmin spoke in a gentle, yet gentle tone. And the strength of thousands of troops and horses.

"Is it worth paying such a high price to fight for a breath?" Chen Qingyan asked.

"It's worth it!" Zuo Kunmin said without hesitation, paused, and continued: "I'm not just trying to gain reputation, I also hope to help more Chinese companies that are going global. We have many outstanding companies in China, and they will one day go the same way. International. Although I may not win, I will never let them bully me and let later Chinese companies think that we can only swallow our anger."

For a long time, Chen Qingyan and Zhang Yang just looked at Zuo Kunmin quietly without speaking.
