"Thank you very much, Mr. Sisey, for coming to Detroit to act as a defense attorney for my friend."

In a café, Lin Zhenhua and Xisai sat face to face, Lin Zhenhua tried his best to restrain his excitement, and said to Xisai with bland evidence. As for why he was excited, this question does not need to be explained, if you know that the person sitting in front of you will become the president of the United States in 10 years, I am afraid you will not be able to calm down.

Sissai has no sense of his future, he is now just a street lawyer, and although he is very capable, many times he cannot get business because of the color of his skin. He's planning to run for state legislature, but that will require a lot of money, and he hasn't found a way to raise money at the moment. Facing Lin Zhenhua, who has deep pockets, what Xisai thinks about the most is how to explain that Lin Zhenhua gave him some financial support.

When Lin Zhenhua heard that Du Xiangyang needed a lawyer, he remembered Xisai. In Lin Zhenhua's opinion, it should be more appropriate to ask Sisai to be Du Xiangyang's lawyer, because there is actually a strong element of racial discrimination in this case, and inviting a black man as a lawyer can just remind the judge to pay attention to this issue, and at the same time, it can attract the attention of the media.

Of course, another reason why Lin Zhenhua wants to invite Xisai is that he hopes to have an opportunity to get in touch with the future head of the United States, which is inconvenient to reveal to others.

Lin Zhenhua called Hornby and asked him to help contact Xisai. After hearing the background of the case, Sisai readily agreed to serve as Du Xiangyang's defense lawyer, and immediately rushed to Detroit to meet with Lin Zhenhua.

"Mr. Lin, I have already learned about this case. Your friend faces 53 charges, including mishandling of classified information, espionage, and more. However, in my judgment, the FBI does not have any hard evidence on the part of the FBI -- if I were to act as your friend's defense lawyer, I would be able to overturn the FBI charges and maybe even get some compensation for your friend. Sisai said.

Lin Zhenhua has no doubts about Sisai's ability, and a person who can fool the voters of the United States should not have a big problem in a lawsuit. He nodded and said, "Mr. Sisai, the key to this case is that Mr. Du Xiangyang is a Chinese. As far as we know, there are dozens of engineers in the core laboratory of Carter Co., who are engaged in the same work as Du Xiangyang, but none of them are suspected. In my opinion, this is a typical phenomenon of racial discrimination. ”

Sisai smiled and waved his hand and said, "Mr. Lin, racial discrimination has always existed in the United States, but Mr. Du's case is not a simple issue of racial discrimination, but a concern of the federal government about Red China. If Mr. Du is not a Chinese, but... For example, Sri Lankans or Nepalese don't have that kind of nervousness on the federal government. ”

"Oh? You mean ・・・・・・ China threat theory? Lin Zhenhua asked.

West Circuit: "Yes. Mr. Hayashi may not know, but the topic of the China threat has been very popular in the United States in recent years. By the way, there is a topic that is related to your Hanhua company. ”

"Really?" Lin Zhenhua asked in surprise, "No, we Hanhua can actually be involved with the China threat theory?" ”

West Circuit: "Not long ago, you undertook the ethylene project in Venezuela, and recently you are building several large peach machinery factories for Venezuela, these things are real, right?" "Well, is this the China threat?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

West Circuit: "Of course, you don't understand what South America means for the United States.

South America has always been the sphere of influence of the United States, and now the Chinese have begun to set foot in South America, which makes a considerable number of American politicians feel unpleasant. In the context of the recent changes in the political situation in Venezuela and the growing anti-American tendencies, it is certainly a threat to the United States that your company is cooperating with Venezuela on such a large scale. ”

"Is that so?" Lin Zhenhua's heart sank, and he asked hesitantly, "So, Mr. Sisai, what do you think about this issue?" ”

"I never thought China would be a threat to the United States." "With all due respect, China's economy is only the size of the U.S./8 and is generally more than 20 years behind the U.S. in terms of technology, and I don't think China will be a threat to the U.S. for at least 30 years, on the contrary, you will be an important partner of the U.S." ”

"I couldn't agree more with you." Lin Zhenhua hurriedly agreed. He didn't think that Sisai's confession was hypocritical, because in the United States at that time, the theory of the China threat only existed in the minds of some people, and there were quite a few Americans whose views were consistent with Sisai. They see China as a country that can provide them with cheap goods, rather than as their competitors.

During this period, the industrial structure of the United States and China was basically complementary, and there was no obvious competitive relationship. The Chinese are conscientiously engaged in labor-intensive industries, while the Americans are busy playing with the financial industry of empty gloves and white wolves. Think about it, what bank owner would think that a vendor selling tea eggs at the door can pose a threat to himself?

"Mr. Sisay, I think it is most appropriate that America should be run by a wise and knowledgeable man like you. It is simply disproportionate for the United States to let those short-sighted politicians dominate the operation of the United States. Lin Zhenhua slapped Xisai on the back.

"Mr. Lin has won the award." Sisai was fooled by Lin Zhenhua, and he smiled, and said: "To tell you the truth, I am indeed planning to run for state legislature now, and if I can be elected, I will be able to have some influence on US policy." ”

"If possible, I would be more than willing to give Mr. Sisay some support." Lin Zhenhua said, "However, as a Chinese company, if we donate campaign funds to you, I am afraid it will have some impact on your reputation, right?" ”

"It is indeed inappropriate for this ・・・・・・ to directly accept donations from Chinese companies." Cisai said regretfully.

"So, what if it's indirect, ......" Lin Zhenhua sensitively discovered the flaws in Xisai's words, and then asked.

A shy look appeared on Sisai's face, and he said: "No one will pursue this, indirect matters, after all, it is difficult to find evidence, and the most important thing in the law is evidence." ”

"I see." Lin Zhenhua knew in his heart, "That's it, Mr. Sisai, now I officially hire you as his defense lawyer for my friend, of course, the final decision is still on him, we can go and talk to him tomorrow." Your attorney's fees will be paid by me in full, and I think you should be able to satisfy you in terms of amount. ”

"Thank you very much." Sisai said.

Look at this trouble, we can also hire Xisai to work, glory, Lin Zhenhua thought viciously in his heart. He continued: "As for your candidacy for parliament, I am very supportive. In view of your opposition to the China threat theory, I think you are a congressman worthy of our support

Since we can't afford to support you directly, I'll ask Hornby of Taggo to provide you with some campaign funding on my behalf. "If I am elected to the state legislature, I will definitely promote economic and technological exchanges between China and the United States, and help the two sides establish a partnership as soon as possible." Xisai is worthy of being a politician, and after hearing Lin Zhenhua's promise, he hurriedly voted for Li and made his own promise to Lin Zhenhua.

The next day, Lin Zhenhua took Xisai to the police station and met with Du Xiangyang, who was in detention. When Du Xiangyang saw Lin Zhenhua at first glance, he couldn't help but have mixed feelings, and he didn't know where to say a lot of words

"Brother Lin, why are you here......" Du Xiangyang said.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Xiangyang, I came to the United States to discuss business this time, and I happened to hear about you. I know you're innocent, don't worry, you'll help you clear your name. ”

Du Xiangyang smiled faintly and said, "Brother Lin, thank you." In fact, whether I am wronged or not, I know best in my heart. It is no accident that this matter will develop to this point, as early as I ...... When the ghost chooses to stay, this ending is already doomed, what is the difference between washing and washing? ”

"Xiangyang・・・・・・" Lin Zhenhua wanted to speak and stopped, of course he could hear Du Xiangyang's remorse, but this occasion was really not the place to discuss this issue. He pointed to Xisai beside him and said, "Xiangyang, don't mention the past things first, let's solve the things in front of us first." Let me introduce you to Mr. Sisey, a well-known lawyer from New York, with whom I have discussed your matter, and he is more than willing to serve as your defense lawyer, do you think it is appropriate? ”

"Oh, hello, Mr. Sisai." Du Xiangyang nodded politely to Xisai, and then said to Lin Zhenhua: "Brother Lin, since this Mr. Xisai is a famous lawyer, the cost should be relatively high, right?" I ......"

"Don't worry, Xiangyang, Mr. Sisai's lawyer's fees, you don't have to worry about it, I will pay it in full." Lin Zhenhua said.

Du Xiangyang smiled bitterly: "Brother Lin, it is precisely because I know this that I feel sorry for it." In the past, I received your sponsorship to study in the United States, but I was unable to contribute to Hanhua later. Now that I'm in a lawsuit for my own reasons, and then use Brother Lin's money to hire a lawyer, I'm really shameless. ”

Lin Zhenhua said: "Xiangyang, don't think too much. I help you, not so that you can contribute anything to Hanhua, but because you are a Chinese. No matter where you go, you are a Chinese. The Chinese are in trouble, and they don't care about their own people, who else can they manage? ”
