Chapter 883: Detention

"Mr. Lu, Dulles Airport is coming soon, we should be ready to get off the plane. ”

With Hu Wenhai's support, Lu Yinglong decided to actively respond to the investigation by the United States. Not only did he hire an expensive big law firm to respond to the lawsuit, but he also flew on an ocean-going plane to attend the hearing in person in Washington, hoping that this gesture would help Xinke gain some impression points.

Lu Yinglong raised his blindfold, heard the secretary's voice and turned his head to look out of the window, and sure enough, he was able to see the outline of Washington Dulles International Airport.

He looked at the busy airport runway with some greed, and said with admiration: "I heard that Die Hard 2 was filmed at Dulles Airport, when did we have such an advanced airport in China, it is not in vain to suffer these splints today." ”

It may also be difficult for Lu's generation to imagine that one day China will become a mortal threat to the United States. China's development is certainly dizzying, but catching up with the United States still seems to them to be a somewhat fantastic thing.

It is not so much that Lu Yinglong's admiration for the United States is to worship foreign countries, but rather to be the mark of the times of his generation. After all, since China's reform and opening up, the driving force that motivates them to work hard is the infinite yearning for an American-style life. Many of this generation may not even know how to live the life of the rich without these fantasies about the American life.

The limitations of the times are inevitable, and it is better to understand more than to blame. Their generation has fulfilled their duties, and most of them are worthy of the mission of the descendants of Yan and Huang, and they should not be too harshly criticized.

When the plane landed on the runway of Dulles Airport, the announcement on the plane suddenly sounded. This is not a routine passenger note, but everyone is asked to stay in their seats temporarily.

"What's going on?"

Lu Yinglong's entourage secretary looked around a little nervously, and the crowd in the cabin had obviously never encountered such a thing, and there were voices of discussion everywhere.

"What's the panic, the United States is a country with a legal system, what people say, let's just do it. Lu Yinglong chuckled lightly and said confidently: "As long as we don't have a traitor, then there is nothing to worry about, follow the arrangement and sit on the chair." ”

It wasn't long before they saw two big men in black suits walk up from the gate. The two of them glanced around, and walked towards the location where Lu Yinglong was.

"FBI, is Mr. Lu Yinglong from China?"

Lu Yinglong was a little surprised when he looked at the documents shown by the two, but he still nodded: "I'm Lu Yinglong." ”

"There is a business case that needs your assistance in the investigation, please come with us. ”

After the two finished speaking, they immediately clamped Lu Yinglong left and right, and then in an exclamation in the cabin, they almost dragged him away from the plane.

"Hey, you guys! you can't do this, Lu always comes to your American hearings, and we are your guests......"

Lu Yinglong's secretary hurriedly chased after him with a confused face, but he couldn't do anything. It wasn't until he left the airport that he saw Lu Yinglong being stuffed into the back seat of the prisoner car, that he woke up like a dream and ran to the public phone at the airport, and called the embassy with some trembling.

The news of Lu Yinglong's arrest at the Washington airport quickly spread back to China from the United States, and then caused an uproar on a considerable scale.

When Hu Wenhai received the news, he was obviously a little at a loss. It's only that he was reborn a little earlier, and he hasn't seen what the Americans can do when they break through the lower limit.

However, today, the competitive impact of ST in the semiconductor industry on the United States is no longer comparable to the chrysanthemum of the future.

The reason given by the Americans was that Lu Yinglong was suspected of commercial bribery in the acquisition of the Heung Kong Wafer Fab and theft of Motorola's trade secrets. Under the Anti-Commercial Bribery Act, the U.S. government has long-arm jurisdiction as long as the bribe money has ever passed through a U.S.-opened bank. ”

"Are the Americans crazy? What happened to Xiangjiang them?"

Hu Wenhai was furious and didn't choose to speak, and he had rarely heard him spit out fragrance over the years.

"Ahem, the U.S. side says that it is to maintain the fairness and justice of international business competition......

"I'll his grandma!"

Hu Wenhai took a deep breath, and then he could barely suppress the anger in his heart. The caller was just a narrator, and it didn't help him to lose his temper.

"Can the embassy come forward to make some coordination? Lu Yinglong went to the United States, but the US Department of Commerce sent a letter to invite him, and they were arrested before he landed, and they didn't want to lose face at all? Let's not talk about how things will develop, at least we should release the people? Ensuring Lu Yinglong's personal safety should come first. ”

"The embassy has hired a lawyer for Mr. Lu, but the situation is probably not optimistic. Even if Mr. Lu is released on bail, the bail will definitely not be a small amount. ”

Hu Wenhai didn't think about it, so he made a decision directly: "It's okay if the person is fine, no matter how much the bail is, I'm out!"

"Well, we will continue to work hard through official channels, and please ask Mr. Hu to mobilize your personal relationships. Mr. Lu's matter, the inside story should not be so simple. ”

Of course it's not simple. Night Night Chinese

Hu Wenhai hung up the phone, combined with the problems he had encountered recently, he didn't know that Lu Yinglong was just being used as a bargaining chip, and he suffered this crime for Xinke.

"Mr. Hu, the director of Motorola's EDITION would like to make an appointment with you. ”

Hu Wenhai hung up the phone, and soon the secretariat forwarded a message.

The lithium battery project cooperated by Hu Wenhai and Motorola was vigorously promoted by President Addison. Later, many commercial projects of Motorola and Xinke had the support of EDITION. In Motorola's management, Addison was clearly pro-Singapore.

After so many years of friendship, it is no problem to award EDITION the honor of "Old Friend of ST Group".

However, after so many years, he has long since stepped down from his management position at Motorola, retained only one board seat, and has long been less in charge.

Now that it has suddenly appeared in China, it is unknown where it came from.

"Arrange for us to meet as soon as possible. ”

Hu Wenhai took the phone and thought about it, pursed his lips and suddenly changed his decision: "No, tell Addison that I will not meet anyone from the United States until Lu Yinglong is released on bail." ”

Putting down the phone from the secretariat, he thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and dialed the phone again.

"Mr. Meng of the Telecom Division? I want you to immediately sort out all the competing projects with Motorola and ...... Motorola at all costs. No, it's to win all the competitive projects we can get with American companies!"

"Secretary Chen informed ASML and Nikon that starting next year, we will not renew the patent authorization of lithography machines related to immersive lithography technology. ”

Hu Wenhai's hand finally touched a red phone on the desk, hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and grabbed the microphone.

"Uncle, I have something here that I need to trouble you......

In May 1995, the international situation could be described as an undercurrent. The arrest of Lu Yinglong, the head of the Xinke Group's wafer factory, has controlled the spread of news to a certain extent.

However, on another level, all the people who know something about this incident have a feeling of explosion of three views.

Later, a certain takeaway worker in the car accident forcibly explained the wave from a "novelty" perspective, believing that this proves that the United States is a country with a "rule of law". The law is only enforced for justice and justice, and if Lu Yinglong did not pay bribes, then if Flame Rongjin ordered him to be tried to show his innocence.

But everyone with a discerning eye knows that there is no essential difference between Lu Yinglong's arrest and Zhang Ziqiang's kidnapping and extortion.

This is really something that many people who have unrealistic illusions about the United States cannot imagine.

That's the United States, the chosen nation, the beacon of mankind, the overlord of the earth, how could such a thing happen?

It turns out that it is not for nothing that Pirates of the Caribbean can become a traditional American culture at Disneyland.

If you want to get Americans back to the negotiating table, it is useless to be reasonable, and you must communicate in a language they can understand.

In May, ST Telecom broke a number of big news that shook the entire industry.

ST Telecom competes with Motorola in an all-round way, squeezing Motorola out of the market even if it loses money. Throughout May, Motorola had almost no revenue in overseas markets.

In addition, ST Group announced the establishment of comprehensive cooperative relationships with Nokia and Ericsson. Not only did it include various technology licenses, but it even issued a batch of shares of ST Communications to the two companies in Shanghai, which made the two communication giants completely gain a firm foothold in the Chinese market.

By June, the international situation had been completely detonated by a piece of news. The U.S. military camp in Iraq was hit by a rocket from a resistance group. In the report of the US Department of Defense, ten people died as a result - this is judged according to the death standard of the US military, and those who have a breath left on the spot are not considered killed!

In the aftermath of the incident, several rebel groups publicly claimed the results. But obviously, if the local rebel groups had the ability, why would they have gone earlier?

Under the influence of international and domestic public opinion, Clinton had no choice but to announce another increase in troops to Iraq. Affected by this news, the situation in the Middle East region suddenly became tense.

For Clinton, his attention had to be focused more on the powder keg of the Middle East than on mobile communications, which could not be seen or touched. Having just won the competition for world hegemony with the USSR, how could the high-spirited Americans stand this. As long as Clinton wants to be re-elected, he must not show signs of weakness in Iraq under any circumstances.

What? Asia's semiconductor industry competition? Let's lean back for a while.

Anyway, so many think tanks have said that China's economy will collapse sooner or later, so there is no hurry.
