Chapter 666 Counterattack!
This lawsuit is of great importance. For this purpose, Jiang Chen convened the CEO of Future Technology North America and representatives of the legal team, and held a virtual meeting through the phantom helmet.
As soon as the meeting started, Jiang Chen asked.
"What are the chances of winning the case?"
"Seventy percent! The U.S. Department of Justice's prosecution against us is false. Our Phantom helmet is strictly a 'high-end VR device'. Although it has a large share in the U.S. market, it is far from being a monopoly. For example, Microsoft's HoloLens, Google Cardboard and other devices still occupy a certain market share in the low-end market! And the most important thing is that we have not used our own advantages in the market to prevent other companies from entering the market." The lawyer team The representative replied in an affirmative tone.
Monopoly prohibited by law refers to behaviors that intentionally create industry entry barriers, monopolize key resources, exclude others and eliminate competition. It is a procedural judgment rather than a result judgment. Monopoly may lead to market leadership, but market leadership does not mean monopoly.
What hinders other companies from entering the market is only the technological gap, not Future Group's use of its own advantages to obstruct it. Therefore, there are many far-fetched aspects in the prosecution of the US Department of Justice, and the possibility of future Ren Group winning the lawsuit is very high!
Nodding to the lawyer, Jiang Chen then looked at Kermit.
"Kermit, you are the CEO of North America. I only want to tell you one thing about this matter. Do a good job in the public opinion offensive. 70% of Americans have our Future Man 1.0 installed in their mobile phones. It is not only a gold mine, but also our weapon. I ask you to create a public opinion that the U.S. Department of Justice, out of local protectionism, hinders the development of science and technology, and is suspected of taking bribes to conduct an improper anti-monopoly investigation on the Future Group."
Although creating public opinion pressure is not enough to force it to submit, it can also make it pay a big price. The Justice Department serves the White House, and Ms Hillary will have to play it safe if she wants to be re-elected.
"It doesn't matter if there is no evidence, we can use military forces and conspiracy theories!" Jiang Chen added.
"Understood!" Comet nodded.
After the meeting ended, Jiang Chen then rushed to Crescent Island.
On the island, he met two youths who were imprisoned for forcibly boarding an offshore mining platform. Because of the pressure from the US embassy, Xinghuan Trading did not send the two to prison for the time being, but brought them to the military base.
A man and a woman, the woman looks very young, like a college student. The man was slightly older, about thirty years old, with glasses on his thin face and a little stubble on his chin.
Squatting in a small dark room,
Looking at the rifles in the hands of the soldiers outside, the man was not bad. It seemed that he had seen big storms and was imprisoned by governments of various countries. And that woman looked like a rookie at first glance, squatting in the corner and shivering.
"Katie, calm down, they don't dare to do anything to us. We are American citizens anyway, and Hillary has to get us out just to save face." Barney Baird comforted his partner.
"But, but they have guns..." said Katie, terrified.
"Don't worry, Miss Kitty, we are not cannibals in New Guinea, just like what the gentleman said, we will not do anything to you."
A voice suddenly came from the direction of the door, and the two people in the small black room immediately looked up. The soldiers standing in the corridor stood at attention and saluted, and stepped aside. Barney saw who was coming, and immediately narrowed his eyes.
Jiang Chen! Didn't expect him to come here in person!
"We are the environmentalist guardians of Blue Seagull! You unscrupulous entrepreneurs, you have no right to interfere with our righteous actions! I advise you to release them quickly, otherwise..."
"Otherwise, make a documentary about how you've been treated today, and put it on YouTube to piss us off?" Jiang Chen said with a playful smile, "Or do you plan to organize a parade of environmentalists in Washington or New York? Charge us with trumped-up charges?"
"This is not an unwarranted crime at all! Your behavior forced those poor dolphins to leave their homes because of your irresponsible behavior. Do you know what consequences this will bring to the ecological environment!" Katie puffed up Courage, staring at Jiang Chen and complaining.
"Really, whether we are guilty or not, you are not the police. And just 7 hours ago, you boarded the mining platform of Future Mining and interfered with our production work. We are discussing prosecuting you for piracy, if If you are convicted, you will face 10-15 years in prison. I am curious, did the customs not remind you to abide by the local laws when you left the country?" Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"You, you can't do this!" A trace of panic appeared on Barney's face.
Jiang Chen didn't seem like he would compromise with the American embassy, which was completely beyond his expectation.
And his companion, Miss Kitty, was completely frightened. Although a self-proclaimed environmentalist, she never considered dedicating her life to environmental causes. When she heard that she would be imprisoned abroad for more than ten years, she burst into tears.
"Of course we can do this." Jiang Chen said flatly, "You have the right to ask a lawyer to defend yourself, but I guarantee you will lose."
"Please, don't do this! I, I'm still studying at Bernard College, I will be expelled..." Katie grabbed the railing of the iron window, looked at Jiang Chen pleadingly, her nose burst into tears Said.
Jiang Chen didn't look at her, but looked at the pale Barney and smiled.
"However, things are not without wiggle room."
"What do you want me to do?" Barney glanced at Katie who was crying, and said with difficulty.
"Cooperate with us and recover our reputation loss." Jiang Chen snapped his fingers, and the people behind him placed two contracts on the table.
Looking at the two contracts on the table, Barney swallowed, and reached out to pick up one of them.
"This is?"
"Barney Baird, an internationally renowned photographer, editor-in-chief of a certain humanities and social science magazine, and one of the important members of the Blue Seagull Environmental Protection Organization. I heard that you are good at photography? We will provide equipment here, and you can help me make a documentary , the name is Lie." Jiang Chen said.
"That's impossible!" Barney exclaimed excitedly.
Jiang Chen looked at him expressionlessly, and said in an uncompromising tone.
"There are only two choices in front of you, either stay in prison for the rest of your life, or sign this document."
Looking at the document, Barney turned pale.
"Barney, please..." The companion's pleading was heard in the ear.
"I just want to get our innocence back." Jiang Chen said expressionlessly.
After being silent for a long time, Barney, unable to withstand the pressure, finally picked up the pen tremblingly.
When he signed his name, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength and slumped on the chair.
As a senior executive of Blue Seagull, he has heard a little about the inside story of this smear campaign against Future Group. Although he didn't know who was behind the scenes, but from the unscientific activity funds, he had already realized that the black hand behind the scenes might have a lot of background.
That's why he didn't want to sign.
For Mother Earth? Do not make jokes! He knows better than anyone else that since the beginning of the Penglai City project of the Future Group, he has been paying close attention to its impact on Haiti's ecological balance! As Jiang Chen said, the sonar of the Future Group has already driven the fish out of the construction radius. He even argued with the organization's president about this matter.
However, as Jiang Chen said, he has no other choice.
"...If I sign, will you guarantee my safety?"
"Of course there is no problem, but you may not be able to return to the United States in a short time. Believe me, I am doing it for your own good." Putting away the contract, Jiang Chen signaled the soldier to unlock the door, looked at him and smiled, "we will Some people will send you to a five-star hotel, don’t worry about spending, I will pay for you, and you can get a compensation when the time comes.”
"Remember, you have never squatted in a small dark room, not even for a minute!"
