I was reborn and stayed in school to lie down. I really don’t want to roll anymore!

In the office, the habitual coffee and the must-read emails every day.

Looking at the content of the email sent by Lao Chen, Jiang Hao didn't care at first.

But the next moment, the recliner suddenly moved back.

Read the content of the email carefully again.

"Whale's sanctions case opened yesterday, and the Supreme Court rejected the original fine of more than 60 million US dollars."

"Ultimately, Whale's violation of user privacy was denied, but some unknown APP information collection required Whale to be shut down, or it was optional and unchecked by default."

"The fine was due to the collection of sensitive information, and the penalty was 2.1 million yuan."

Compared with the initial fine of more than 100 million US dollars, the current fine of 2 million US dollars seems insignificant.

Of course, the actual cost for the company is quite high.

The legal fees paid to the lawyer who served as the assistant to the Chief Justice alone exceeded three million yuan.

There is also a dedicated law firm team, as well as fees for handling favors, including lawyer fees for domestic follow-up.

All in all, a lawsuit resulting in a fine of 10 million euros is inevitable.

The bulk of the fine became just the lawyer's fees, but no matter what, this result in the end was enough to satisfy Jiang Hao.

“Dengdeng~!”

The phone vibrated wildly on the desk.

"Hello? Lawyer Cui."

"Mr. Jiang, is it convenient for you now?"

"It's convenient. Cui Lu, just tell me if you have any news."

Seeing that it was a call from an old senior, Jiang Hao read the email and understood that the matter about sanctions should have come to an end.

"Boss Jiang, I'm still in the United States."

"The lawsuit has been concluded, and Whale has been denied infringement. However, some of the permissions of Whale, such as real-time location collection information, including the camera, need to be changed in the software."

"This information can only be called up if the user turns it on."

Lawyer Cui's voice was a little hoarse. It was 10:30 in China now, and it was 10:30 in the evening in the United States.

Lawyer Cui has been following up on this case and has probably been staying up late lately.

"I understand all of this. I will notify the company's technical department in a moment and resolve these issues within a week."

"What about the company holding company?"

Fines and everything else are minor matters. The key to this matter is the requirement that Whale’s equity cannot be controlled by domestic Haijing Technology.

These are the issues that have always troubled Jiang Hao, as well as the concerns of the financing parties.

Although a Haijing platform also has unlimited potential, it is not the same as a Haijing with a Whale platform.

One is the global market, the other can only focus on the domestic market.

It was also a blow to Jiang Hao's own career, as his business as a whole could only be limited to the domestic market.

It has little say or influence in the international arena.

"Boss Jiang, I was just about to tell you about this."

"There should be an announcement tomorrow morning or possibly tonight in China that the restrictions on equity will be lifted."

...

"real!?"

"Haha! Cui Lu, this news is very important to me. Thank you for your efforts for Haijing Technology during this period of time."

Upon hearing that the sanctions were about to be lifted, Jiang Hao's originally somewhat tired body suddenly became full of energy.

After being depressed for several months, everything has finally returned to the starting point.

All constraints have been removed, the upcoming D round of financing will be more secure, and the valuation can be raised further.

"Boss Jiang, I dare not take credit for this matter. It has little to do with me. To be more precise, it has nothing to do with the activities of Ouhua Law Firm."

"Have you heard about the domestic counter-sanctions against a number of American companies recently?"

Jiang Hao naturally understood what Lawyer Cui had mentioned.

Secretary Rong, who came on the day of his wedding, specifically mentioned this to him.

Regarding the sanctions on whales, the province or the country will come forward to communicate.

It’s not even a week after the marriage and Jiang Hao has no idea about the communication situation.

However, the national authorities soon announced a number of sanctions on US military-industrial enterprises and drone communications companies.

From that moment on, Jiang Hao began to relax.

I thought the sanctions between the two sides would remain deadlocked for some time.

I didn’t expect that after just over a month, the US side couldn’t hold on anymore?

Jiang Hao had already figured out the whole story in his mind, while Cui Lu was still talking on the other end of the phone.

"Yesterday, comrades from our embassy came forward to coordinate with the other party. It was mainly because of the efforts made by the embassy that the sanctions against Haijing were lifted."

Cui Lu told Jiang Hao everything about the information.

He did not take any credit for himself.

Cui Lu himself knew that after Haijing was sanctioned, it would definitely not use only a single legal means to fight back.

There should be many other aspects or ways to follow up.

The embassy should be one of the means Jiang Hao has prepared.

His task is to assist the Ouhua law firm in the lawsuit and at the same time cooperate with domestic Haijing Enterprise to deliver some key information about whales.

All that remains is to convey the situation truthfully.

"I understand. No matter what, thank you for your hard work, Cui Lu!"

"Don't worry, Haijing will give you an extra bonus when you return home."

After the call was hung up, Jiang Hao first called Secretary You and relayed Hai Jing's situation.

On the other hand, we are waiting for the upcoming notification of lifting sanctions.

……

It was that afternoon, and now it was late at night in the United States, so the official news had to wait.

Jiang Hao was rarely in the company's entertainment room at this moment. He called Lao Song, Gao Wei and Pang Yi from upstairs to play billiard in the entertainment area on the third floor of the company.

Prepare to spend this afternoon waiting for the official announcement from the US.

He will only feel relieved when the official announcement is released.

Of course, Jiang Hao himself understood one thing, that sanctions might be repeated and multiple times!

Therefore, we must hurry up and complete the matters concerning the D round of Haijing as soon as possible.

"Dang~!"

"nice shot!"

As the white ball hit ball No. 4 and entered the bottom pocket, Lao Song cheered immediately!

The entertainment room on the third floor was empty in the afternoon except for this group of people.

At the beginning, Jiang Hao could still see some employees coming over to play table tennis.

Now, with the large number of employees recruited from society last time, the third floor seems like a restricted area and is completely abandoned.

Even though Jiang Hao had communicated with several senior executives and several business lines in meetings many times.

Don't push the company's employees too hard, but eventually we've entered the beginning of the era of opening the book.

"Gao Wei, the price of that large flat you bought has increased a lot recently!"

"You have good taste! If I want to buy your place now, I have to spend more than 200 million yuan than when you bought it."

While playing billiards, Pang Yi expressed his envy of Gao Wei.

Although Dibao Technology is already preparing for its IPO, it has not yet done so.

Now that housing prices are entering a sprint phase, the prices of houses on the market change every day.

Pang Yi's annual salary of one million is quite considerable now, but it is still difficult for him to buy a house.
