Fast Technology reported on March 5 that the business situation of Gaohe Automobile has been worrying recently, and at such a time of life and death, Jia Yueting and Faraday Future suddenly announced that they would sue Gaohe Automobile for plagiarism and infringement.
According to Jia Yueting, Ding Lei, the founder of Human Horizons, has been working at FF for nearly two years, with an income of up to 30 million yuan, learning FF's new AI and Internet car manufacturing concepts and knowledge, but he has been planning and committing theft of FF's intellectual property rights, technical data and trade secrets under the convenience of his position.
After leaving the company, he continued to carry out the above acts with Gaohe Automobile, and was able to launch the plagiarized product in a very short period of time within the R&D delivery cycle that was far below the industry norm.
It should be noted that Gaohe has been established for so many years, why Jia Yueting has not made any moves, but suddenly sued at such a time, which has caused heated discussions among netizens.
In this regard, car blogger Wu Pei posted an article analyzing the logic behind this, because now Gaohe is looking for funds to save itself, and if there is a major lawsuit at this time, the funds will not come in.
Jia Yueting is also a capital expert, pinching seven inches, as the old saying goes: take advantage of your illness to kill you.
It was revealed that after Jia Yueting's accident in 2017, Ding Lei left to quickly found Human Horizons, and two years later, the new car quickly rolled off the assembly line, and it was rumored that Ding Lei took the core team and FF 91 full set of design data with him when he left.
From the point of view of the actual product, HiPhi X is indeed similar to FF 91, the facts are basically clear, and it is even a cooperation between the original ** businessmen.
However, the blogger also mentioned a very realistic problem, after all, Jia Yueting was already "returning to China next week" at that time, and FF was also in financial difficulties, and it would be a pity if the project that invested money in research and development with ** businessmen was stopped like this, and it was a shame to cheat ** businessmen, Ding Lei This is also a helpless move.
