He got too greedy. He should have just invested in the company and buy the shares little by little. Making sure the tech remains unnoticeable on the market. Kinda like what they did to electric cars.
Nobody did EV dirty, there's just a lot of resistance (Oil Company, Automobile Companies and Govt; which benefit from Oil/gas tax/Lobbyingdonations etc.) The few countries that actually made EV worked (Scandinavian countries & China) did it through great political and economic subsidies/will. And pretty much due to China being the largest consumer base in the world, it has pretty much secured a net monopoly on Lithium supplies and technological advancement as well.
Just his presence as this important CEO trying to buy Jian Yang's technology was too obvious. He had to either get his own hackers and goons, or get his own PI's and thugs to find leverage on Jian Yang, or make him a ridiculous offer like half a billion or something

Gavin is like that giant Snickers bar at the movie theatre. You love Snickers, it SEEMS like a great idea, but half way through it, you are sick of Snickers.
A foreigner asking a Chinese man to extort another Chinese man at the threat of pulling an already agreed upon deal wouldn't have worked in old China either. Gavin was arrogant enough to try which is why he failed. The only difference is that in old China, Gavin would be escorted out of the country by gunpoint instead of singing children.
decentradical I thought he was representative of Hock Tan of Broadcom which made sense since he's got a very aggressive personality and manufactures computer hardware
Gavin is one of my favorite characters. Even though he is the main antagonist, I many times cheer for him. I even felt genuinely sad that time he got fired.
That's the thing, this show portrays how gray the human nature really is. Even Richard Hendricks is shown in bad light and portrayed as how really manipulative he can be.
Yang has shown himself to be quite intelligent, both as an engineer and as a business man, he might not be a genius, but he learns fast, and he learns from his own mistakes and the mistakes of others, he learned from Erlich, he learned from Yao, he learns from everyone, until he himself is a ruthless warlord.
We don't know that for sure. He could have very well signed it over for reasonable terms while the Chinese factory boss was making it seem it was done in the manner you thought it was...
I think that's quite similar to DJI v.s. GoPro. When back in the time, GoPro wanted to have a much larger profit share towards collaboration with DJI, and DJI rejected to make its own camera. Now we all know what's happening now...
seriously,all the actors and actresses are amazing!!Love this show to death!by the way, since gavin is in china,take jack barker home,i miss that damn fool!

Not sure they're "white thrash" or that your understand the meaning of the term. They failed because a Chinese alternative willing to cooperate 100% with the CCP was created (Didi and Taobao for Uber and eBay) and given preferential treatment. Apple are huge in China because they're willing to go along with whatever the communist party wants and because there's no real alternative for the time being, but as soon as a Xiaomi or Oppo get close to the same business model or brand recognition, then Apple are in trouble. Good on Google for not being willing to offer a watered-down version of their services for China and voluntarily puling out of the market instead.
It's true that Bangladesh provides cheap labors, it is still very hard to enter into business in Bangladesh for milking low cost labor advantage. This country has almost become a autocratic country where every large-scale business is in hands of the politicians or is controlled by politicians. So to setup a factory a foreign company will have to bribe the politicians large amount of money. If they are willing to do that, next steps are very easy - I can assure.
"So to setup a factory a foreign company will have to bribe the politicians large amount of money" - as far as I know this is exactly how China work to, nothing new here :)
randomnickify if your company just want to selling coffee or fried chicken in China, then you don’t need to worry, because your company has no high tech. We Chinese has no interest; for high tech companies, you want the big China market, we want to learn your technique, so trade you technique with our market, it’s a fair deal
@@UnleashthePhury That's literally every CEO IRL. Most of the IP they "took" from other countries was literally handed over to them by Dumb executives. (As a condition for using their cheap Labor)
Tobias Trust I don't think Jian yang got any money. If the dude that owns the factory has the political power to forcibly take someone's company away from them just like that. He might as well take it away from Jian yang for free right? Therefore nobody won except for that factory owner guy.
This is completely true. CCP does not need to go into private deals, unless necessary. Private citizens will gladly back stab any foreigners for more direct revenue. Of course, pay their appreciation fee to the CCP without declaring their true income. Documentation is still the main trick over there.
So, the lesson is that if you desperately want something, don't tell anyone whom you don't have by the crotch sack, so that you can crush them if they betray you. (And make sure they know it.)
Gavin went too cheap, then he brings in a bigger player who have more resources and connections, and expects him not to have ambitions. His mistake is thinking he’s smarter than everyone.
Theory time! Yao(if that's his name) will realize(or already does) that the government won't authorize the deployment of the tech, because it would take away their ability to monitor people, so Yao sells the tech for an absurd amount of money to Gavin. Hooli beats Pied Piper to the punch, and deploys the tech, but because Jian Yang's method is not secure, Hooli will face a Cambridge Analytica scandal of EPIC proportions. Richard & Co will be forced to abandon the idea because of community backlash, season end. I can already see Gavin and Yao negotiating: Gavin: Come on! There HAS to be a price, name ANYTHING! Yao: OK. 500. Gavin: ...Thousand? Yao: Million. Gavin: ...Yen? Yao: That's japanese. I think you meant "yuan", and no, I mean dollars. Gavin: ............canadian? *cue children singing*
