Chapter 29: Serial Scheme

Zhou Yu put the contract on his desk, showed a smile, and said to Dick Costello in Chinese: "I don't agree."

Dick Costello laughed and said, "I knew you would agree to this contract, we have a good time working together."

Yang Yuanqing immediately reminded: "Mr. Dick, President Zhou rejected your contract."

"What? It's incredible that you'd turn down this contract, oh my god. Dick Costello was shocked.

"Wang Jian, send these three gentlemen out, our company does not welcome them."

Zhou Yu's face suddenly sank, and he commanded in a cold tone.

Wang Jian thought that the company would reach a cooperation with Twitter and pocket $80 billion, but he didn't expect things to take a 180-degree turn.

He still did not forget his duty, made a gesture of please, and said coldly: "Our company temple is small, and we can't accommodate you big Buddhas, please go out!" It's not good to alarm the security guards. ”

"You, you ......"

Yang Yuanqing had never received this kind of treatment, and he wanted to say two cruel words, but with his cultivation, he couldn't say these words.

Just leading the assistant out of the office without looking back, Dick Costello immediately followed him.

Wang Jian sent Yang Yuanqing away, returned to the office, and asked puzzledly: "President, why has your attitude changed so much?"

Zhou Yu passed the contract to Wang Jian and pointed: "This is a yin-yang contract, pay attention to the part of the English with multiple interpretations."

Wang Jian didn't understand it after reading it for a long time, and he knew that his English level was not inferior to that of European and American locals, so he immediately summoned a helper: "Xiaomi, review this contract and find the traps it may hide."

His holographic bracelet immediately lit up, marking the trap Xiaomi had found.

Pitfall 1: The English version of the contract stipulates that all terms and conditions shall prevail in the English version.

Pitfall 2: The attached sheet has the same legal effect, but the Chinese contract does not explain it.

Pitfall 3: The English language of the attached pages does not use highly precise sentences, and some clauses are written in vague meanings.

Wang Jian looked at the vague text marked by Xiao Mi, but he still didn't understand it.

After Xiao Mi explained carefully, he snorted and said, "These people are so insidious, they even use a pun to trap us."

One of the uncommon definitions of the English text turned out to be a way for us to pledge our technology to bet against Twitter.

This kind of paraphrasing is so uncommon that it must be used in order to have this meaning, and if you are not a linguist, who will understand this meaning. ”

Zhou Yu also lamented that this method is very clever, and the contract stipulates that disputes will be subject to the judgment of the Detroit court, and they must have the support of the judge and jury before they can achieve the corresponding goals.

But the people behind them have the strength to achieve this goal.

There was no intersection between Yang Yuanqing and Dick Costello, and before today, there was no contact between them.

A shareholder of Twitter who holds shares through multiple layers is the same as a secret shareholder of Motorola, which is controlled by Lenovo.

Xiaomi combed through the information published on the Internet, the network scanning and archiving of old paper media, and some information on the dark web.

She found this behind-the-scenes organization, which is the Ford Foundation, and coincidentally Li Kaifu also has the support of the Ford Foundation behind him.

The enemy hidden in the shadows was finally exposed, but Zhou Yu was helpless against it, and the size between them was not at the same level at all.

Ford Motor Company, one of the many companies under the Ford consortium, often appears in the top 20 of the world's top 500.

On the other side of the ocean, the heir to the Ford consortium, the red-haired Benjamin Ford, puts down the satellite phone in his hand.

"The little bug didn't take the bait, but it couldn't escape being pressed to death."

He instructed the butler, "Inform the major consortia that the Apple Withered Project has begun."

"The liquidity of U.S. stocks has decreased, and now there are very few foreigners to take over U.S. stocks, so it should be lowered somewhat.

Little bug, I don't know if you can survive the aftermath of this plan, and it's your luck to be a pawn in my hand. Benjamin Ford pouted.

April 16th.

The Wall Street Journal's headline "According to stock critics' analysis, Apple's performance has fallen, which may cause sharp fluctuations in U.S. stocks." 》

AP headline "Twitter CEO Dick Costello Secretly Goes to China, I Don't Know Why?" 》

The New York Times headline "Display Technology Revolution, Electronics Are About to Usher in the Biggest Revolution of the 21st Century." 》

As soon as Benjamin Ford made a move, four mainstream media in the United States broke the news, and at the same time, many Wall Street consortia were also gearing up, preparing to devour the feast of U.S. stocks.

April 17th.

CNN headline "Apple's R&D is in trouble, the company's innovation is slowing down, and it has become a large assembly plant, can it still lead the U.S. stock market to continue to rise?" 》

The headline of the Wall Street Journal "Financial expert Jack comments on the inflated price of U.S. stocks, investors should be cautious." 》

The headline of the New York Times "A new era has come, and disruptive products have appeared in Huaxia, this issue takes you closer to the holographic bracelet." 》

Yanjing, Office of the President of Xinghuo Technology.

"Hello Manager Du Xing."

"Our company has not partnered with Twitter, and it will not affect the cooperation between our two companies."

Zhou Yu frequently received calls from his partners, who asked him about his cooperation with Twitter, and he could only explain them one by one.

He immediately explained to Xiaomi to find out the reason for this kind of thing.

Xiaomi quickly presented the US media report in front of Zhou Yu.

He read the reports of the American media, his brows furrowed tightly, thinking about the meaning behind this.

"The Wall Street Journal, which is engaged in fake news about China, has actually begun to decline US stocks this time.

CNN reported negative news about Apple, the Associated Press continued to focus on Spark Technology, and the New York Times exaggerated the role of holographic technology. ”

Zhou Yu suddenly thought that the American media are under the control of capital, is all this Ford Capital behind the scenes? What is their purpose?

April 18th.

CNN headline "Apple Chief Engineer Rick broke the news that Apple cannot produce products equivalent to Huaxia Xinghuo Technology, and is afraid that it will fail in this smart device revolution." 》

The New York Times headline "MIT can't reverse-engineer holographic bracelets, proving that it's very high-tech." 》

With the headlines of these four major media for three consecutive days, the rhythm was completely brought up, causing public opinion to boil, especially the panic of investors.

When the news reached Zhou Yu's ears, he immediately understood the intention of the Ford consortium, he clenched his fists, his knuckles rattled, and he gritted his teeth and said: "This is a serial plan, this plan is too vicious, and it wants us to be saddled with the name of destroying the US stock market."
