Next chapter

For this reason, Jiang Chen convened the CEO of Futureman Technology North America and representatives of the lawyer group, and held a virtual meeting with Guò Phantom Helmet. ←，

At the beginning of the meeting, Jiang Chen asked.

"What are the odds of winning the case?"

The U.S. Department of Justice's indictment against us is untrue, and our Phantom helmet is strictly a 'high-end VR device', although it has a large share of the U.S. market, it is far from enough to achieve a monopoly. For example, Microsoft's Hololens and Google Card still occupy a certain market share in the low-end market! And most importantly, we do not use our own advantages in the market to prevent other companies from entering the market. The representative of the lawyers' group replied in the affirmative.

Monopoly prohibited by law refers to the act of deliberately creating barriers to entry in the industry, monopolizing key resources, excluding and eliminating competition, it is a procedural judgment rather than a result judgment, monopoly may cause market leadership, but market leadership does not mean monopoly.

What hinders other companies from entering the market is only the technological gap, not the future human group using its own advantages to obstruct it. Therefore, there are many far-fetched points in the prosecution of the US Department of Justice, and the possibility of winning the lawsuit is very high!

Nodding to the lawyer, Jiang Chen then looked at Kormit.

"Kormit, you're the CEO of North America, and I just want to tell you a little bit about this. Do a good job in the public opinion offensive, 70% of Americans have our Future People 1.0 in their mobile phones, which is not only a gold mine, but also our weapon! I ask you to create a public opinion that the US Department of Justice is suspected of taking bribes to conduct an improper anti-monopoly investigation against the Future People Group out of local protectionism, hindering the development of science and technology. ”

Although the pressure of public opinion is not enough to force them to comply, it can also make them pay a lot of money. The Justice Department serves the White House, and Ms. Clinton will have to be cautious about this matter if she wants to be re-elected.

"It doesn't matter if there is no evidence, we can use water armies and conspiracy theories!" Jiang Chen added.

"Understood!" said Commite.

After the meeting was dismissed, Jiang Chen then rushed to Crescent Island.

On the island, he met two young men who had been held for forcibly boarding an offshore mining platform. Because of pressure from the U.S. Embassy, Transwarp Trade temporarily did not send the two to prison, but instead brought them to a military base.

A man and a woman, the woman looked very young, like a college student. The man was a little older, about thirty years old, with a thin face with glasses and a slight stubble on his chin.

Squatting in the small dark room, looking at the rifles in the hands of the soldiers outside, the man was fine, at first glance, he was a person who had seen the wind and waves, and he had been imprisoned by various governments. And the woman looked like a rookie, squatting in the corner and shivering.

"Katie, calm down, they don't dare to do anything to us. We're U.S. citizens anyway, and just to save face, Hillary has to get us out. Barney Baird comforted his partner.

"But, they have guns...... Katie said in horror.

"Don't worry, Miss Katie, we are not cannibals in New Guinea, and as the gentleman said, we will not do anything to you. ”

Suddenly there was a voice from the direction of the door, and the two people in the small black room immediately looked up and looked over there. I saw the soldier standing in the corridor standing upright and saluting, and stepped aside. Barney saw the person clearly, and immediately narrowed his eyes.

Jiang Chen: I 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 behavior! I advise you to release them quickly, otherwise you will ......."

"Otherwise, you will make a documentary about your treatment today, and then put it on the bait tube to stink us?" Jiang Chen laughed playfully, "Or are you planning to organize a march of environmentalists in Washington or New York to accuse us of trumped-up crimes?"

"This is not a trumped-up charge at all! Your actions forced those poor dolphins to leave their homes because of your irresponsible behavior, do you know what the consequences this will have on the ecological environment!" Katie plucked up her courage and stared at Jiang Chen accusingly.

"Yes, whether we're guilty or not, you're not police. And just 7 hours ago, you boarded the mining platform of Future Man Mining, interfering with our production work. We are discussing prosecuting you for piracy, and if convicted, you face 10-15 years in prison. I'm curious, didn't the customs 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 hint of panic appeared on Barney's face.

Jiang Chen didn't look like he would compromise with the U.S. Embassy, which was completely unexpected.

His companion, Miss Katie, was completely frightened. Although a self-proclaimed environmentalist, she never considered dedicating her life to the cause. As soon as she heard that she was going to be in prison abroad for more than ten years, she burst into tears.

"Of course we can. Jiang Chen said lightly, "You have the right to ask a lawyer to defend yourself, but I guarantee that you will lose." ”

"Please, don't do this! I, I'm still studying at Bernard Academy, I'm going to be expelled......" Katie grabbed the railing of the iron window, looked at Jiang Chen pleadingly, and said with a handful of snot and tears.

Jiang Chen didn't look at her, but looked at the pale Barney and smiled.

"However, things are not without room for manoeuvre. ”

"What do you want me to do?" Barney said with difficulty, glancing at Katie, who was crying.

"Cooperate with us to recover the damage to our reputation. As he spoke, Jiang Chen snapped his fingers, and the person behind him put the two contracts on the table.

Looking at the two contracts on the table, Barney swallowed and spat, reaching out to pick up one of them.

"What is this?"

Barney Baird is an internationally renowned photographer, editor-in-chief of a humanities and social science magazine, and one of the important members of the Blue Seagull environmental protection organization. I heard that you're very good at photography, and we're going to provide the equipment here, and you can help me make a documentary, and it's called Lies. Jiang Chen said.

"It can't be!" Barney shouted excitedly.

Jiang Chen looked at him expressionlessly and said in an uncompromising tone.

"There are only two choices in front of you, either you will be in prison for the rest of your life, or you will sign this document. ”

Looking at the text, Barney's face was bloodless.

"Barney, please......" came his companion's crying plea.

"I just want to get our innocence back. Jiang Chen said expressionlessly.

Barney, who was silent for a long time and couldn't withstand the pressure, finally picked up the pen tremblingly.

When he signed his name, he sat down in his chair as if he had exhausted all his strength.

As a senior executive of Blue Seagull, he still has a little hearing about the inside story of this smear operation against the Future People Group. Although he didn't know who was standing behind the scenes, he had already realized that the mastermind behind the scenes was probably not small.

That's why he didn't want to sign.

For the sake of Mother Earth? No kidding! He knows better than anyone else that he has been paying close attention to the impact of the Penglai City project on Haiti from the beginning of the construction of the Penglai City Project of the Future People Group! Just as Jiang Chen said, the sonar of the Future People Group has driven the fish out of the construction radius, and he has also argued with the chairman of the organization about this.

However, as Jiang Chen said, he had no more options.

“…… Can you guarantee my safety if I sign?"

"Of course, no problem, but you may not be able to return to the United States anytime soon. Trust me, I'm here for your good. Putting away the contract, Jiang Chen motioned to the soldier to open the door lock, looked at him and smiled, "Our people will send you to a five-star hotel in a while, don't worry about consumption, I will pay for you, and you can get a compensation at that time." ”

"Remember, you've never been in a dark room, not a minute!"

(It's the end of the month, and the children's shoes that still have tickets to vote for it, thank you Morningstar!) (To be continued.) )
