Chapter 370: The Consortium Enters

What is very interesting is that Xu Yuan's people have not been sent out yet, but the mastermind behind the scenes has consciously stood in front of the stage.

The call was from Berry Country.

"It's just a warning to pull hands out of the Arab project." A male voice came from the other end of the phone.

"A warning that doesn't hurt or itch." Xu Yuan smiled, but his tone gradually became colder, and he asked playfully. "You're from the Wind Shower Company?"

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 through normal business competition and steal business from us, we have nothing to say. But this project was carried out at the behest of the White House, and we are categorically not going to stop there. ”

From his tone and words, Xu Yuan heard arrogance, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl a little.

Counting on a compromise from Source Shadow International Group? Dream!

"Really? Then I'm looking forward to your next hand, which one to reach, I'll chop that one. Unmoved at all, Xu Yuan said without backing down.

"Arrogance."

Leaving the word aside, the other side simply hung up the phone.

The two sides have broken up, and there is no need to negotiate!

Xu Yuan immediately instructed the Night Agents in the Berry Country to track down where the call came from, but in the end, it was only located in a public phone booth.

After getting the news, Xu Yuan had to start with the wind array company to investigate the identity of its shareholders.

However, because Fengfeng is not listed, the equity information is not open to the public, and it took some effort to get this confidential information.

In the end, it was through hacking into the server of the Wind Array Company that part of the information was intercepted from an equity change agreement.

In the end, everything was locked into a name.

Merkava Foundation, the sixth largest consortium in the Berry Country!

Speaking of the Merkava consortium, its origin is not small at all.

As one of the top ten consortiums in the Berry Country, although he is not as good as Morgan and Rockefeller, he is definitely the oldest one.

Its founding dates back to the 19th century, when it joined forces with the emerging Kennedy family to form the Merkava consortium, which controlled almost all of North America's textile industry.

Although its influence is not as great as before, its influence in the berry country should not be underestimated.

Since it is the Merkava consortium that controls the wind array, then everything makes sense.

The White House hopes to tighten its grip on the Arab child through a cooperative 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 Yuanying International Group intends to intervene in the desalination project, the Merkava consortium, whose business has been disrupted, will certainly not be able to sit still.

As they say, the lawsuit from the Whales International Marine Conservancy is just a warning that the Merkava consortium will crack down on the business of Source Shadow International Group in a number of areas until Source Shadow International Group can no longer afford this loss and make concessions on the freshwater project.

However, where will Xu Yuan let them get their wish!

Sooner or later, Source Shadow International Group will touch the interests of these consortia, and if it shrinks its eggs as soon as friction occurs, how will it do business in the future!

Xu Yuan is absolutely impossible to compromise, and Yuanying International Group will respond to the provocation of the Merkava consortium with a tough attitude!

Fortunately, none of the companies in the Source Shadow International Group are listed companies, and the financial means that the Merkava consortium is good at are not very useful against the Source Shadow International Group.

However, they still found two entry points, one is to go under the knife from the most profitable Internet of Source Film International Group, and the other is to benefit the ocean.

In mid-October, the Ministry of Justice of Berry Country suddenly launched an anti-monopoly investigation into Source Technology's branch in Berry Country.

At the same time, two international "environmentalists" took a speedboat and forcibly boarded the offshore platform of Yuanying International Mining in the Pacific Ocean, but were quickly detained by the security of Wishing Star Trading.

The Berry Embassy in Qatar immediately reacted to the incident and demanded that the Wishing Star Trading Company release him.

The Merkava consortium unleashed a side hook and a straight punch at the beginning, taking the lead in this contest in the mall, and directly taking the weakness of the Source Shadow International Group.

If the anti-monopoly investigation of the Ministry of Justice finally determines that Source Technology is suspected of monopoly in virtual reality projects, it will undoubtedly deal a heavy blow to Source Technology's development of the virtual reality market.

Because it will provide a "reference case" for other countries to win the case!

But will Xu Yuan let them succeed?

The answer is clearly no!

The stakes of this lawsuit are very high, and Xu Yuan convened the CEO of Source Technology North America and representatives of the lawyer team to hold a virtual meeting through a virtual helmet.

At the beginning of the meeting, Xu Yuan asked.

"What are the odds of winning the case?"

"Seventy percent! The Ministry of Justice's indictment against us is false, and our virtual headset is strictly a 'high-end VR device', and although it has a large share of the Berry Country market, it is far from a monopoly. ”

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 use of its own advantages to obstruct the source film international group.

Therefore, there are many far-fetched points in the prosecution of the Ministry of Justice, and the probability of Yuanying International Group winning the lawsuit is very high!

Nodding to the lawyer, Xu Yuan then looked at Vadant.

"Wardant, you are the CEO of North America, I only have one thing to tell you about this matter, do a good job of public opinion offensive, 70% of Berry people have our software in their mobile phones, which is not only a gold mine, but also our weapon! I ask you to be sure to create a kind of justice out of local security. Protectionism, hindering the development of science and technology, and suspected of taking bribes to conduct improper anti-monopoly investigations on Yuanying International Group. ”

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 any president who wants to be re-elected will have to be cautious about it.

"It doesn't matter if there is no evidence, we can use the water army, with conspiracy theories!" Xu Yuan added.

"Understood!" Wadang features the first way.

After the meeting ended, Xu Yuan then rushed to Tidal Island.

On the island, he met two young men who had been held for forcibly boarding an offshore mining platform.

Due to pressure from the embassy, the Star Trading Company did not send the two to prison for the time being, but took 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 black 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 countries.

And the woman looked like a rookie, squatting in the corner and shivering.

"Cindy, calm down, they don't dare to do anything to us, we are citizens of the Berry Country, just to save face, and the president has to get us out." Bard comforted his partner.

"But, they have guns...... "Lucky said, horrified.

"Don't worry, Miss Cindy, we're not cannibals, and as the gentleman said, we won't 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.

Bard in the room saw the person coming and immediately narrowed his eyes.

Xu Yuan! I didn't expect him to come here in person!
