"In Xinguo, sue us?" Jiang Chen thought he had misheard, so he asked again.
If he sues in a new country, he has a hundred ways to make the Blue Seagull International Marine Conservation Society lose the case. Sue him on his turf, isn't it uncomfortable to find it!
"They are prosecuting directly to the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea. Of course, we can also refuse to respond to the lawsuit, but it will have an impact on our international reputation. And they wrote in the lawyer's letter that they reserved to organize protests. In short, it is a headache to be entangled by this kind of public welfare organization......" Xia Shiyu's voice was very helpless.
"I'll go back to the group right away and talk about that later. Jiang Chen hung up the phone and walked briskly outside the factory.
Unlike the International Court of Justice, the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea can hear cases not only between States, but also between States and political entities and even individuals. However, this kind of borderless tribunal is often not very binding, and is often placed to play by various countries.
The Future People Group and many companies have fought lawsuits, but this is the first time they have been sued by a non-profit organization.
Jiang Chen used his mobile phone to log in to the official website of the International Society for Ocean Conservancy, only to see the big promotional poster hanging on the homepage. Beneath the depths of the sea, a blade-like fan blade and a bloody dolphin with a line at the bottom: Please stop hurting our friends!
However, what makes Jiang Chen cry and laugh is that from the offshore mining unit to the construction of Penglai City, any project involving the development of marine resources will be equipped with sonar to drive away fish. This condemnation, which has no factual arguments in the whole article, is nothing but slander!
As soon as he returned to the company, Jiang Chen immediately went to Xia Shiyu's office.
"We responded aggressively and sent our attorneys to prosecute them for false accusations in the U.S. District Court for the District of California. Ask them to compensate us for our financial losses!"
"Also, find out who is behind them. I'm going to see who tells them!"
Killing Jiang Chen didn't believe that the behavior of the "blue seagull" was spontaneous. For what inexplicable protection of the ecological environment.
The branch of Futureman Technology is located in Los Angeles, and the relationship with the District Court of California is quite "harmonious". As long as the public relations are done well, it should not be difficult to win the case. As for the investigation, Jiang Chen handed it over to the ghost agents who were overseas.
It's just unexpected that this person hasn't been sent out yet, but the mastermind behind the scenes has consciously stood in front of the stage.
The call was made from Boston, USA.
"It's just a warning to pull hands out of the Saudi project. A male voice came from the other end of the phone.
"No pain, no itch warning. Jiang Chen smiled, but his tone gradually became colder, and he asked playfully. "You're from the American Matrix?"
The other end of the line did not deny it, but he did not approve, but said in an unhurried tone.
"If it's any other business, you beat us by normal commercial competition and take business from us, and we have nothing to say. But this project was carried out at the behest of Washington, and we are categorically not going to stop there. ”
From his tone and words, Jiang Chen heard arrogance, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl a little.
Counting on the future people group to compromise? dream!
"Really? Then I'm looking forward to your next hand, which one to reach. I'll chop that one. Unmoved at all, Jiang Chen said without flinching.
"Hubris. ”
Leaving the word aside, the other side simply hung up the phone.
The two sides have broken up. No more negotiations!
Jiang Chen immediately instructed ghost agents in the United States to track down where the call came from, but in the end, it was only located in a public phone booth in Boston.
After getting the news, Jiang Chen had to start with the American Matrix Company to investigate the identity of its shareholders. However, because the U.S. matrix is not listed, the equity information is not public, and it took some effort to get this confidential information. Finally, Xie Leitong hacked into the server of the matrix company and intercepted part of the information from an equity change agreement.
Eventually, a qiē clue locked on a name.
The Boston Consortium, the fifth largest consortium in the United States!
Speaking of the Boston consortium, its origins are not small at all. As one of the top ten conglomerates in the United States, he is not as good as Morgan and Rockefeller. But definitely the oldest one. Its founding dates back to the 19th century, when the Lowell, Lawrence, Adams, and Lodge families in the Boston area were founded. Together with the emerging Kennedy family, they formed the Boston Consortium, which controlled almost the entire textile industry in North America. Behind the Civil War is their shadow.
Although its influence is not as great as it used to be, its influence in the United States should not be underestimated. The world-famous Raytheon Company is one of its industries. These big conglomerates, which control the United States, are more or less inextricably linked to the cake of the Department of Defense.
Since it is the Boston consortium that controls the American matrix, it makes sense. The White House hopes to strengthen the control of the Saudi family through a cooperation project on the supply of fresh water. After all, the dollar is pegged to oil, and even now, when oil prices are low, the White House still pays enough attention to expanding its influence in the Middle East.
And now that the Future People Group intends to intervene in the desalination project, the Boston consortium, whose business has been disrupted, certainly can't sit still.
As they say, the lawsuit from the Blue Dolphin International Marine Conservancy is just a warning that the Boston consortium will take action to suppress the business of the Future People Group in a number of areas until the Future People Group can no longer afford the loss and make concessions on the freshwater project, which is not "very profitable".
However, where will Jiang Chen let them get their wish!
Sooner or later, the Future People Group will touch the interests of these "old era" consortia, and if they shrink their eggs as soon as friction occurs, how will they do business in the future! Jiang Chen will absolutely not compromise, and will respond to the provocation of the Boston consortium with a tough attitude!
Fortunately, none of the companies of the Futureman Group are listed companies, and the financial means that the Boston consortium is good at are not very useful against the Futureman Group. However, they still found two entry points, one is to cut the most profitable Internet from the Future People Group, and the other is the interests of the ocean.
On October 11, the U.S. Department of Justice suddenly launched an antitrust investigation into the U.S. branch of Futureren Technology.
At the same time, two American "environmentalists" took a speedboat and forcibly boarded the offshore platform of Future Man Mining in the Pacific Ocean, but were quickly detained by Warp Trade's security guards. The U.S. Embassy in Singapore immediately reacted to the incident and demanded that Transwarp release them.
The Boston consortium landed a side hook and a straight punch at the beginning, taking the lead in this battle in the mall, and directly taking the soft underbelly of the Future People Group.
If the antitrust investigation of the U.S. Department of Justice finally determines that Futureman Technology is suspected of monopoly on virtual reality projects, it will undoubtedly deal a heavy blow to Futureman Technology's development of the virtual reality market. Because it will provide a "reference case" for other countries to win the case!
However, will Jiang Chen let them succeed?
The answer is clearly no! )
