Su Yang frowned, "What patents, what projects? How did this involve the Japanese?"
"It's about those recent projects..." Lin Dingkun said, "Some research equipment that we don't have here domestically, which we borrowed from a Japanese corporation. I don't know how they found out about these projects, but they specifically sent someone over this time, forcing us to share the projects with them, or else they'll pull out the equipment. This equipment is patented by only that Japanese company, and once they take it back, our projects won't be able to continue!"
"Why were they borrowed?" Su Yang asked in surprise, "Why didn't we just buy them outright initially?"
