Chapter 663: Black Hand!
After visiting Huayuan Group, the senior management of Rolls-Royce also visited Yonghan Aviation Technology Company and Ruisheng Technology Company, and then discussed with Huaxing Group Company the establishment of an electric propulsion technology research and development center.
Half of the R&D engineers of the two parties cooperate in the research and development of EFI turbofan engine technology, and the technology is shared.
Yang Jie also agreed to this plan.
At the beginning of July, Rolls-Royce and Huaxing Group also announced to the outside world at the same time that the two companies would set up R&D centers at the same time.
Just a few days after this news was released, Yang Jie received a news that surprised him very much-
Andy Marsch and several other senior executives of Prager Energy were in a meeting at their office in Latham, New York, but they were suddenly handcuffed and taken away by the Department of Justice!
Yang Jie smelled the smell of conspiracy from this incident.
He immediately asked Jonathan Blair of the Pioneer Energy Group to arrange personnel to take over the management of the Prager Energy Group, and he could not let the Prager Energy Group of Companies shut down entirely.
At the same time, he also mobilized manpower to investigate the matter.
By the third day, Yang Jie had already investigated that Andy Marsch and others had been arrested by the U.S. Department of Justice in a high-security prison in Rhode Island for violent criminals.
The U.S. legal department of China Renaissance also contacted officials from the Department of Justice, and the Ministry of Justice rejected the request for bail against Andy Marsch and others, and was told that Andy Marsch and others were involved in commercial bribery.
At the same time, a large number of prosecutorial personnel investigated the offices and factories of Prager Energy, took away a large number of personnel, and a large number of internal materials of the company were taken away, and Prager Energy suddenly fell into a shutdown.
Even the personnel sent by Jonathan Blair were taken away for various interrogations.
In the evening, Yang Jie received a call from Adam Cohen.
"I got the news that GE and Exxon, Mobil, Chevron, Texaco and other oil and electrical companies are working together......"
Adam Cohen said in a heavy tone on the phone.
Yang Jie suddenly understood in his heart, only then did he know that the fuel cell and hydrogen fuel led by Huaxing Group Company are very popular in the United States, and have threatened the interests of these oil giants and electric companies.
Now that Andy Marsch and others are in prison for violent criminals, they must be using all kinds of despicable means to fabricate charges against Prager Energy and force them to confess.
Ordinary people are imprisoned with these vicious profiteering, and they will inevitably be abused, humiliated and tortured, and within a period of time, a person's will will will be destroyed.
It is not the first time that the U.S. Department of Justice has used such tactics against foreign companies, and Siemens has been accused of commercial bribery by the U.S. Department of Justice and sentenced to a fine of $450 million.
Yang Jie knew that his Prager Energy Company had become the target of the Ministry of Justice and these companies, and these companies were large companies with deep roots, and it would be extremely difficult for him to win this war.
But he was by no means a person to sit still, so he held a meeting at the company's headquarters overnight and began to discuss countermeasures with experts and professors in the company's politics, economy, and law.
"Prager Energy has become a thorn in the side of these oil and power companies and the Ministry of Justice, and I can be sure that this time I will definitely be fined a huge fine, because they will be strangled together, it is better for me to shut down this company, and not let these Americans take advantage." ”
Yang Jie's eyes swept over everyone's faces, and he said loudly.
"If Prager Energy Group is shut down, what will happen to the coal-to-hydrogen project that has invested more than 3 billion yuan before?" Song Manli looked at Yang Jie at this time and asked.
"Divide and sell several pieces of the business of Prager Energy Group to return the funds as much as possible. ”
Yang Jie thought for a while and said, "Mr. Adam Cohen's company and Fokker will take over most of the business, and I have already asked Chen Qiumei to negotiate with Fokker Company." ”
"Xiaojie, are we really going to withdraw from the hydrogen energy market in the United States?" the uncle asked as he looked at Yang Jie.
"The domestic hydrogen energy market has risen, and besides, these Yankees are going to join forces to strangle our hydrogen energy business this time, and when the time comes, they will issue huge fines to crack down on our hydrogen energy business, then we will go to other countries to do business." ”
Yang Jie said with a firm face: "These hydrogen fuel cell technologies and hydrogen fuel technologies are in our hands, what am I afraid of, even if we lose money this time, we will be able to earn it back in the future." ”
Hu Huanzhi nodded and said: "This time the initiative is in our hands, even if we stop the hydrogen energy business in the United States, these American companies are inseparable from our product technical support." ”
Uncle also nodded: "That's right, the local fuel cell manufacturers in the United States are still not as good as us in terms of product technology, and these companies in the United States finally ask us to supply them with product technology." ”
Because Huaxing Group has the core technology in its hands, the senior staff of the headquarters were still a little nervous when they first heard the news, but after Yang Jie proposed to withdraw from the hydrogen energy market in the United States, everyone did not have too much worry.
"The Yankees can't bring us down this time, and everyone must be mentally prepared, this time they want to fix Prager Energy, and next time it may be another company. Yang Jie said.
"Xiaojie, why do you think so?" asked the uncle.
"In order to help those giant companies in the United States fight their opponents around the world, the US Department of Justice will use the same set of practices originally used to crack down on gangsters and extortionists to foreign companies, create 'black materials' of unfair competition by foreign companies, impose sky-high fines on enterprises, and force these foreign companies to demand reconciliation. ”
Yang Jie said: "This time we are seriously threatening the interests of these local energy giants in the United States, and it is not surprising that they have come up with this set, especially these hydrogen energy core technologies are in our hands, and they are eager to get rid of us this time." ”
He sneered: "If it is other foreign companies, they don't want to give up the American market, or they are afraid of the national strength of the Yankees, and they will swallow this bitter fruit by eating Coptis chinensis, but I won't be angry with this!"
"These Yankees have got us on our heads, of course we can't swallow our anger!" Uncle also said hatefully.
"Are we really going to start abandoning the U.S. market?" Ms. Song asked.
"We still have to plan for the worst-case scenario, and we have to make sure that our company can survive in extreme conditions. ”
Yang Jie said: "After the attack on the United States, the country's influence has been affected, and the United States has laid down Iraq this year in order to demonstrate its military strength and international influence, and at the same time it is fighting on two fronts, their strategic goals have been achieved, and the attention of the next few years is very likely to be aimed at Huaxia." ”
"Why?" asked the uncle.
"Because Huaxia has now mastered a lot of high-end industries, such as the semiconductor industry, precision machinery manufacturing, information and communication, aviation industry, etc., the Yankees will use various means to rectify us in the next time, especially our Huaxing Group has a lot of key core technologies in its hands, and this time the matter of Prager Energy Company has given us a wake-up call. ”
Yang Jie's eyes swept over the faces of these experts attending the meeting: "You come up with a plan as soon as possible, and in the next two years, we must transfer internal data and servers from the United States in a planned and step-by-step manner without affecting the business of American companies." ”
He paused and said: "Even if the United States blocks our company in the future, it will minimize the impact on the company's business." ”
"Where do you think you should move to?" Song Manli asked as she looked at Yang Jie.
"It would be more appropriate to move to Hong Kong. ”
Yang Jie nodded and said: "As an international Internet exchange center, it is more appropriate for Hong Kong to set up a data center there, and it can also be protected by the state. ”
Song Manli nodded: "That's fine." ”
