Chapter 105: Sea of Flowers (Part II)

Xiao Chen got through the phone, and Qin Qin's side quickly connected.

"Hello?" Qin Qin's tone was a little eager.

"Auntie, it's me, I'm fine." Xiao Chen said in a comforting tone.

"Huh......" Qin Qin let out a sigh: "Thank God, if something happens to you, I'm really ...... Are you hurt? Is it safe over there now? ”

Xiao Chen smiled: "I'm not injured, I should be fine here now, don't worry." ”

"That's good, that's good."

"Auntie, what happened this time, can you be sure now?" Xiao Chen asked.

Qin Qin paused for a moment and said, "This matter is a long story, and I will make a long story short." Your grandfather, my father's land, had a cousin who was expelled from the family, and according to my grandfather's will, this cousin of mine was not entitled to the family inheritance. The problem is, he later had a daughter, who counts as my cousin......"

"She wants to inherit a part of the inheritance?" Xiao Chen frowned: "There shouldn't be this power, right?" ”

Qin Qin sighed: "Listen to me, she is married to Philip, the chairman of Thornsbury. Hampton, when you asked me to buy Cisco, Philip's business was in trouble, and he wanted to ask me for a venture capital through his cousin's connections. But at that time, all the money I could use was used to buy Cisco, so naturally I couldn't help him. So he asked Polaris Venturepartners, another big venture capital company in the United States, to get a sum of money, but he ended up paying nearly $300 million more. As a result, Philip and his cousin hated me, and then ......"

Qin Qin sighed with some disappointment: "They seem to have thought of a good way. ”

"Okay?" Xiao Chenqi said: "Is this a good way to kill me?" What's the use of that? ”

Qin Qin smiled bitterly: "You are my legal sole heir, and your name is also written in my will." ”

"What's in it for them if I'm dead?" Xiao Chen still doesn't understand, is it really hurtful to others and not to himself?

"According to the laws of the state where the company is registered, if you and I both die, this cousin can get the inheritance rights of Xinlan Group. -- This is the real source of this incident. Qin Qin sighed.

Xiao Chen was stunned. The United States is a federal country and does not have a uniform national inheritance law, which is legislated by the states, and there are similarities and differences between them. In the United States, both movable and immovable property are generally inherited by will; If there is no will, it can be inherited by the next of kin of the deceased. The next of kin refers to the spouse, children, parents and siblings of the deceased. Wives should be lawful, and "wives" who cohabit without complying with the law are not recognized. In terms of inheritance shares, some states in the United States stipulate that if the deceased has parents and no children, all of them will be inherited by the wife; and a wife and a child, each of whom shall receive a half of the inheritance; If he has no wife or children, he shall inherit it from his parents; If there is no wife, children, or parents, it shall be inherited by the brothers and sisters of the deceased. Some states stipulate that cousins, cousins, cousins, and cousins can also enjoy inheritance rights in the absence of all immediate family members. All in all, the laws of the United States vary from state to state, and the laws of each state are bizarre, and the Xinlan Group has just caught up with a piece that can be exploited by the Phillips.

In this regard, Xiao Chen, who has a certain understanding of American law, does not find it strange. American law, especially the laws of the federal states, is magical, and the magic lies in the fact that it can sometimes be as funny as a joke.

In Nicholas County, West Virginia, for example, clergy are prohibited by law from telling humorous stories that make people laugh when they preach.

Georgia law, on the other hand, states that in Jonesboro, the city of Jonesboro, can't shout "Hey, boy," or the person being called "boy" could theoretically take him to court under the state's law.

An old Massachusetts law says you must take a shower before going to bed.

A local law in Boston states that mourners must not eat more than three sandwiches of bread at the funeral or face penalties.

Some of the strangest laws also try to infiltrate American married life: Michigan law states that a wife will be fined if she cuts her hair without her husband's permission; In Kentucky, it is also illegal for the husband to buy a hat without permission if the wife does not consent.

In the United States, there are more bizarre laws about animals, such as in Oklahoma, where land is surrounded on all sides, whale hunting is illegal, even though residents of the state may never see a whale in their lifetime.

The city of Wilbur, Washington, has a rule that an owner cannot travel on an ugly horse.

Zarn, Illinois, is a law that states that dogs and cats are not allowed to smoke cigars, but they are allowed to smoke paper cigarettes.

In Atlanta, Georgia, giraffe owners are prohibited from tying giraffes to telephone poles.

In California's Bear Rights Code, there are more than a dozen articles printed to protect bears, one of which reads: "The bear has the right to watch you in its own way, and if its eyes upset you, please walk away as soon as possible." ”

But that's not the most miraculous, the most amazing are the following two surrealist general laws, in Rogan County, Colorado and Miami, Florida, where the law solemnly prohibits yokai from entering town after dark.

And Nevada is not far behind, with a law prohibiting yokai from breaking into bathrooms at all times...... Xiao Chen could only sigh with Qin Qin: "Can't you use normal legal means to solve it?" ”

Qin Qin smiled bitterly: "As a taxpayer, and it is a taxpayer with a very large amount, I can naturally ask the Federal Political Axe to protect me 24 times 365 without interruption, and I have a way to make the Federal Political Axe unable to refuse me." However, Philip asked for the 'ghost town', and I think the gap between the federal police's ability and the 'ghost town' is probably not half a star, and I can't let the CIA and the FBI protect me, I can only rely on the sea of flowers. Also, the biggest problem right now is that they're targeting you, and I'm not only worried about your safety itself, I'm also worried about what will happen if your grandfather finds out about it...... I, I really regret letting you go to the UK now, a broken production line, what's the big deal if I buy it and donate it to your county (district)? ”

Xiao Chen hesitated for a moment and asked, "What kind of organization is that 'ghost town'?" A legendary killer organization? ”

"It's not just a killer organization, to be exact, well, I don't think there should be a simple killer organization in the world." Qin Qin said: "To put it simply, these organizations are all criminal gangs, but these people's abilities are super high, and they can't be caught by ordinary people." In addition to accepting murderous employment, they also engaged in some other criminal activities, arms smuggling and drug trafficking were their main businesses, as for the control of money selling activities, opening casinos, opening underground gladiatorial fights, and so on. And the 'ghost town' is the largest underground organization in Germany, and even ...... They are also said to have some ties to the Nazis, and some consider them to be a type of neo-Nazis. ”

Xiao Chen scratched his head: "Then let's not let grandpa know about this matter." ”

Qin Qin smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid this thing can't stand Old Man Xiao...... You don't want to think about who he is. Let me tell you this, the Chinese spies and agents in the United States, I don't know how many, you come to me this time, I can say with certainty that there must be people from the national security staring at you...... Even if the whole world doesn't know what you are doing today, your grandfather will already know about it. ”

"It can't be that miserable, right? …… Auntie, I have an idea, since the 'ghost town' was invited by Philip, can we also pay them to go back? Xiao Chen thought for a while.

"No, the characteristic of 'ghost towns' is that after they receive a task, unless they take the initiative to admit that the mission fails and give up, they will take on other tasks after they have completed it." Qin Qin said.

Xiao Chen was completely speechless, this is really a thief. He said depressedly: "Then what should I do, I have to go to see the production line tomorrow...... Or would I confess to my grandfather and ask the national security for a favor? ”

Qin Qin said: "If Guoan is willing to come forward to help directly, then naturally everything is easy to say." ”

Xiao Chenqi said: "Really? Is Guoan so strong? Although he was born in such a prominent family, Xiao Chen was completely confused about the mysterious Ministry of State Security.

Qin Qin snorted and said, "The CIA has drawn up a plan within it, which evaluates the world's six major intelligence agencies - of course, they don't count themselves. Among the six major intelligence agencies, the Ministry of State Security of the People's Republic of China ranks second. ”

Xiao Chen was curious: "Which six??" ”

"The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, the Chinese Ministry of State Security, the Indian Bureau of Investigation and Analysis, the Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence Service, the British Intelligence Service and the Israeli 'Mossad' spy organization." Qin Qin said lightly.

"Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service?" Xiao Chen asked a little strangely, this name doesn't seem right.

"The predecessor of the Foreign Intelligence Service was the 'KGB,' which is actually a different name." Qin Qin explained.

"Then our 'sea of flowers' is really just a commercial espionage?" Xiao Chen finally couldn't help but ask.

"I thought you just kept asking." Qin Qin smiled: "At the beginning, we just secretly collected some business information to facilitate us to confirm the qualifications of some companies, so as not to encounter some companies that seem to be powerful, but in fact, they will be pushed down by foreign powerhouses to defraud us of our funds." Later, the sea of flowers became bigger and bigger, and it had the essence of commercial espionage, and later, especially since last year...... Huahai's funds are getting more and more abundant, and the ability is getting stronger and stronger, so it has the capital to compete with the 'ghost town'. But even so, I still think you shouldn't go to see the production line so quickly, and wait until I send some more people to the UK, right? ”

Xiao Chen said: "I'm very short on time, forget it, just go tomorrow, the 'ghost town' operation has failed today, I shouldn't have thought that I would still dare to appear tomorrow." ”
