Chapter 442: American Chamber of Commerce
In the courtroom, the winner has been decided.
Li Lin used a recording of the phone call directly to Sharon. Stone and Edward slam their throats with a sword, and no one can save them.
"Li Lin."
Sharon. Stone suddenly screamed, "You quickly withdraw your lawsuit, I can promise not to sue you." β
She grabbed the last straw.
"I can be blamed for your invasion of my privacy, you kicked me out of Hollywood, I can be blamed for the past, and from today onwards, I can disappear in front of you, I promise you."
Sharon at this time. Stone is like a drowning man, clutching at a straw to save his life.
"Don't you think it's too late to disappear from my sight now?" Li Lin walked out of the plaintiff's dock, "Sharon. Stone, after you left the Hollywood stage, you could have relied on your savings to be an ordinary rich woman. β
"But you don't want to."
"Not only are you unwilling, but you're jumping in front of me, making all sorts of arrangements for me."
"You instructed the Sicilian newspaper!"
"No......."
Sharon. Stone's mouth squirmed a few times, and finally lowered his head under Li Lin's stern gaze, "I instructed it." β
She confessed!
The reporters below were in an uproar.
But......
What reason does she have not to admit it?
Seeing that she is about to go to prison, if she doesn't grasp the last straw, does she want to bring her connections to prison? As for the Sicilian newspaper, let's ask for more blessings!
"Instructed the Sicilian newspaper to embarrass me at the press conference. Jumping up and down in the dark, constantly getting me in trouble, now. Another copyright battle case, Sharon. Stone, Sharon. Stone, what reason do you think I have to let you go. β
Sharon. Stone finally despaired.
She never expected that the result of her enduring humiliation and burdens was Li Lin's merciless suppression.
"Li Lin, you little bastard, don't go too far."
"Excessive? Go to the prison and talk slowly! β
Li Lin turned to leave.
"Wait."
Sharon. Stone shouted hysterically: "I want to accuse Li Lin of encroaching on my privacy, and I want to accuse Li Lin of violating my basic human rights." β
"The monitoring is done by the CIA."
Li Lin said lightly: "You are accusing the wrong person." β
"If you want to complain, you should accuse the CIA, not me."
CIAοΌ
Sharon. Stone shuddered.
This is America's largest spy structure. Once the American people talk about the CIA, they can't help but hate it, because the CIA violates many rights and interests of the people.
For example, listening to phone calls. Eavesdropping on information, coupled with assassination, torture and other practices that make the American people feel very cruel, so the American people have always had a good impression of the CIA.
However, the good feeling is not good, and the good feeling is not good. The American people have no choice but to take the CIA. Whether you protest or uproar, it doesn't hurt the CIA in the slightest, because they don't serve the people, they don't serve the legislators, they serve the president directly.
Whoever is the president, they serve.
"How could it be the CIA, I don't believe it."
Sharon. Stone yelled, "You made it up on purpose." You must have made it up to shirk your responsibility. β
"Huh."
Li Lin looked at Sharon, who was yelling. Stone, suddenly happy. He walked up to Sharon. In front of Stone, he whispered, "Sharon. Stone, you have forgotten, I am a red capitalist, and the CIA has always served capital, and capital has no color. β
Abruptly stopped!
Sharon. Stone's roar stopped abruptly, she looked at Li Lin in a daze, and suddenly realized that she had made a mistake, that is, she had always treated Li Lin as a singer, but she had completely forgotten the rich capital behind Li Lin as an artist.
If it weren't for the magic of capital, Universal Movies wouldn't get involved in banning her, so that she couldn't even perform on the Broadway stage.
And she has been ignoring and subconsciously ignoring Li Lin's background, which is also the root cause of her failure.
"I'm not convinced."
Sharon. Stone screamed: "I'm going to appeal, I'm going to appeal, I don't believe this evidence is true, I'm offering to review, to keep reviewing the evidence." β
"Let's go!"
Li Lin stepped back from the courtroom, walked to Luo Feng's side, looked at the people around him, and showed a warm smile.
"Are you alright?" Luo Feng asked nervously.
Hearing this, Li Lin hugged her and said softly in her ear, "Sharon. The woman Stone had gone mad and had no effect on the subsequent trial. β
Subsequently, his lawyer, Madridin to wrap up.
Sharon. No matter how powerful Stone is, it is impossible to make any waves.
"You two, can you wait and be happy?"
One is wearing a black suit, black sunglasses, and the black leather shoes under his feet are shiny, just like the man in black in the movie "Men in Black".
"First of all, I want to introduce myself, I'm Dumen of the American Chamber of Commerce."
American Chamber of Commerce!
Li Lin was stunned.
"What are they coming to me for?"
Li Lin was puzzled.
If the U.S. Chamber of Commerce represents the American middle class and the U.S. wealth creator rather than the distributor, then the U.S. Chamber of Commerce represents the distributor of wealth in the United States.
They have a difficult relationship with Wall Street conglomerates.
If you have to sort out their relationship with the Wall Street consortium, then the Wall Street consortium is the management of the American Chamber of Commerce, that is, the top management.
In the American Chamber of Commerce, there is a clear hierarchy.
Those with assets below $1 billion are at the bottom, those with assets above $1 billion and below $100 billion are middle-level, and those above $100 billion are at the top.
Although this division is not very accurate.
For example, Bill. Gates, because Microsoft has suffered from the full penetration of Wall Street funds. Bill. Gates does not have a high status in the American Chamber of Commerce, despite the fact that his assets are very large.
In addition to that, like Cisco. The Coca-Cola Company and many others are members of the American Chamber of Commerce.
"The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is a loose organization where American businessmen come together to fight against the evil forces, so you don't need to think we're a cult." Dumen chuckled softly.
"What is the evil force?"
"The Federation of Labour and Industry." Du Men said softly: "As we all know, the company wants to obtain benefits, on the one hand, open source, on the other hand, to throttle. β
"But the AFLV is a saboteur of throttling."
"In the past, the AFLF has repeatedly instigated parliament to amend the labour law in the hope that workers will receive substantial benefits and subsidies."
"But this is intolerable. Because the rise in the welfare of every worker means that from us businessmen there will be bloodshed, which cannot be tolerated. To counter the CIC, we formed the American Chamber of Commerce. β
"Of course, in addition to that, we will also lobby the White House. Hopefully, they can come up with some national policies that will benefit us. β
"What are you looking for me for?"
"Recruit you as a member of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce." Dumen said the purpose briskly.
"What do I need to give. And what do you get? β
"You need to pay a lot of dues, and you want you to deal with it when the American Chamber of Commerce has a move." "In return, you'll get help from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. β
"For example, to help you fight against the behemoth in your eyes, and for example, to tell you why the Federation of Relations and the Ku Klux Klan are targeting you."
"That's all?" Li Lin asked suspiciously.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce came to the door, but it was just to admit him to the club, and as for what Dumen said, he didn't doubt that in fact, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the Federation of Labor and Industry were actually admitted. It's a kind of union organization that you can bird it. You can also ignore it, except for the dues that must be paid, they basically don't care about you.
And when you are treated unfairly, they will stand behind you and help you.
"Of course." "In fact, from the moment you got your green card, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has already put you on the candidate list, and you have successfully resisted this wave of attacks by the AFL, and you have proved your own ability, so we hereby invite you to join us at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and become a member of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce," Dumen said. β
Li Lin pondered for a moment, feeling that the timing of the American Chamber of Commerce to lend a helping hand at this time was too good, although he defeated Sharon in the lawsuit. Stone, but standing Sharon. The Federation of Labor and the Ku Klux Klan behind Stone are his henchmen.
As soon as the Federation of Labour and Industry was hostile to him, he could not sleep well for a day.
At this time, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce extended an olive branch, and he couldn't agree if he didn't agree.
After a deep sigh, Li Lin decided to agree, "I promised to join the American Chamber of Commerce." β
"Bingo."
Dumen snapped his fingers, "Congratulations on making the right choice, to be honest, you're in a dangerous situation right now." β
"The Ku Klux Klan has long been silent, but with their leader in prison in the air, the Ku Klux Klan is moving around under a layer of patriotism."
"The direction of their activities happens to be the entertainment industry."
"In the name of metal rock, they indoctrinate teenagers in various speakeasies to discriminate against people of color, so they hate a star of color," Dumen said. β
"As for the AFL, it's because they feel betrayed."
"All along, the AFL supports the Democratic Party, while the American Chamber of Commerce supports the Republican Party, and your foreign artists' club belongs to the Actors' Union, which is a subordinate guild of the AFL."
"In a way, you belong to the CIO, but after you choose to support the Republican Party, the CIO sees you as a traitor, a traitor."
"They see it as an unforgivable betrayal and you need to pay for it."
"That's exactly what happened."
Li Lin thought about many reasons why the AFLV targeted him, but he never expected that the AFLF would actually regard him as a traitor because he supported the Communist Party, and thus became hostile to him. (To be continued......)
