Chapter 883 Detention
"Mr. Lu, Dulles Airport is coming soon, we should be ready to get off the plane."
With Hu Wenhai's support, Lu Yinglong decided to actively respond to the US investigation. Not only did he hire an expensive law firm to respond, he also took a trans-ocean plane and prepared to attend the hearing in person in Washington, hoping that this attitude would help the new department gain some impression points.
Lu Yinglong raised his eye mask and heard the secretary's voice and turned his head to look out of the machine window. Sure enough, he could already see the outline of Washington Dulles International Airport.
He looked at the busy airport runway with some greed and said in admiration: "I heard that Die Hard 2 was taken at Dulles Airport. When will China have such an advanced airport? It's not in vain that the splints I've been angry with today."
It may be hard for Lu Yinglong's generation to imagine that one day China will become a fatal threat to the United States. China's development is indeed dazzling, but chasing the United States still seems to be a bit dreamy thing in their opinion.
Rather than saying that Lu Yinglong's admiration for the United States is to admire foreign countries, it is better to say that it is the mark of the times of his generation. After all, since China's reform and opening up, the driving force that prompted them to work hard is their infinite yearning for American life. If many generations do not have these fantasies about American life, then they may not even know how to live the lives of rich people.
The limitations of the times are inevitable. Instead of asking for complete reproach, it is better to understand more. Their generation of people perform their duties, and most of them deserve to be worthy of the mission of the descendants of Yan and Huang, and should not be too harsh.
When the plane landed on the runway of Dulles Airport, the news on the plane suddenly rang. It was not a routine passenger note, but required everyone to stay in their seats temporarily.
"What happened?"
Lu Yinglong's accompanying secretary looked around nervously. It was obvious that the crowd in the cabin had never encountered such a thing, and there were voices of discussion everywhere.
"What a panic? The United States is a legal country. Whatever people say, we will do whatever we want." Lu Yinglong chuckled and said confidently: "As long as we have not committed crimes, there is nothing to worry about. Follow the arrangements and sit in the chair."
Not long after, they saw two burly men in black suits walking up from the boarding gate. The two glanced around and walked towards the location where Lu Yinglong was.
"FBI, is Mr. Lu Yinglong from China?"
Lu Yinglong was a little surprised when he looked at the documents revealed by the two, but nodded: "I am Lu Yinglong."
"Now there is a commercial case that needs your assistance in investigating it. Please come with us."
After the two of them finished speaking, they immediately clamped Lu Yinglong from left to right, and then almost dragged him away from the plane amid a burst of exclamations in the cabin.
"Hey, you! You can't do this. Lu always comes to attend your American hearing. We are your guests..."
Lu Yinglong's secretary hurriedly chased after him in a daze, but couldn't do anything. Until he left the airport, he saw Lu Yinglong being stuffed into the back seat of the prison car, he woke up like a dream and ran to the public phone at the airport, and called the embassy with some trembling calls.
The news of Lu Yinglong's arrest at the Washington Airport was quickly transmitted from the United States to the country, causing a sensation within a considerable range.
When Hu Wenhai received the news, he was obviously a little confused and at a loss. The only thing he was reborn was too early and he had never seen anything Americans could do after breaking the lower limit.
However, today, the competitive impact of Xinke on the United States in the semiconductor industry is no longer comparable to that of the future.
"The reason given by the Americans is that Lu Yinglong is suspected of conducting commercial bribery in the Xiangjiang wafer fab acquisition case and stealing Motorola's commercial secrets. According to the Anti-Commercial Bribery Act, as long as the bribery funds have been opened by the United States, the US government has long-arm jurisdiction."
"Americans are crazy? What happened in Hong Kong does nothing about them?"
Hu Wenhai was frightened and said nothing. He rarely heard his mouth spitting out fragrance over the years.
"Ahem, the US side's statement is to maintain fairness and justice in international business competition..."
"I'll go to his grandma!"
Hu Wenhai took a deep breath, and then he barely suppressed the anger in his heart. The person who called was just a reposter, and it was useless to lose his temper with him.
"Can the embassy come forward to make some coordination? Lu Yinglong went to the United States but the US Department of Commerce sent a letter to invite him. They arrested him before he could land. Do you want to have any face? Let's not talk about how things develop, at least let the person go? Ensure Lu Yinglong's personal safety, this should be the first priority."
"The embassy has hired a lawyer for President Lu, but the situation is probably not optimistic. Even if President Lu is required to be bailed, the bail will definitely not be a small amount."
Hu Wenhai made a decision without thinking, "Just as long as you're fine, no matter how much the bail is, I'll get it!"
"Okay, we will continue to work hard through the official channels, and please also ask Mr. Hu to mobilize your personal relationship. Mr. Lu's affairs should not be that simple."
Of course it's not simple.
Hu Wenhai hung up the phone. Based on the recent problems, he didn't know that Lu Yinglong was just a bargaining chip and was the crime he suffered for Xinke.
"Mr. Hu, Director Edison of Motorola hopes to make an appointment with you to meet."
Hu Wenhai hung up the phone, and soon the Secretariat turned a message.
The lithium battery project that Hu Wenhai and Motorola collaborated was vigorously promoted by President Edison. Later, many commercial projects of Motorola and Xinke were supported by Edison. In Motorola's management, Edison was obviously pro-Xinkopai.
After so many years of friendship, it is still no problem to award Edison the honor of "Old Friend of Xinke Group".
However, over the years, he has already stepped down as Motorola's management position, retained only one seat on the board, and has long since stopped in charge of business.
Now he suddenly appears in China. Where does the so-called come from? You can tell without asking.
"Schedule us to meet as soon as possible."
Hu Wenhai took the phone and thought for a while, and suddenly changed his decision with his lips: "No, tell Edison, I will not see anyone from the US until Lu Yinglong is released on bail."
Putting down the secretariat's phone number, he thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and dialed the phone again.
"Mr. Meng, the Telecommunications Division? I want you to immediately organize all the competitive projects with Motorola, and at all costs, to win Motorola... no, you are trying to win all the competitive projects with American companies that we can win!"
"Secretary Chen? Notified Asml and Nikon that starting next year, we will no longer renew the patent license for lithography machines related to immersive lithography technology."
Hu Wenhai's hand finally touched a red phone on the desk. After hesitating for a moment, he finally gritted his teeth and grabbed the microphone.
"Brother-in-law? I have something to do here and I need to trouble you..."
In May 1995, the international situation could be said to be undercurrents. The arrest of Lu Yinglong, the head of Xinke Group's fab, was controlled to a certain extent by the spread of news.
However, on another level, all those who have some understanding of this incident have a sense of explosive views.
Later, a delivery department staff member who had a car accident forced a solution from a "novel" perspective, believing that this proves that the United States is a "legal" country. The law is only implemented for justice and justice. If Lu Yinglong did not bribe, then who will let him be tried to show his innocence?
But everyone with discerning eyes knows that there is actually no essential difference between Lu Yinglong's arrest and Zhang Ziqiang's kidnapping and extortion.
This is really something that many people who have unrealistic fantasies about the United States are really unimaginable.
That is the United States, the chosen country, the beacon of human beings, and the overlord of the earth. How could it do such a thing?
It turns out that it is not unreasonable that Pirates of the Caribbean can become a traditional American culture in Disneyland.
To get Americans back to the negotiating table, reasoning is useless, and they must communicate in languages that they can understand.
In May, Xinke Telecom Division successively broke out a number of major news that shocked the entire industry.
Xinke Telecom Division competed in a comprehensive competition with Motorola, and even if it was a loss, it would squeeze Motorola out of the market. Throughout May, Motorola had almost no gains in the overseas market.
Not only that, Xinke Group announced a comprehensive cooperative relationship with Nokia and Ericsson. It not only included various technical authorizations, but also issued a batch of Shanghai Stock Exchange stocks to the two companies, giving the two communication giants a complete firm foothold in the Chinese market.
By June, the international situation was completely detonated by a news report. The US military was hit by a rocket from a rebel group in Iraq. In the notice from the US Department of Defense, ten people died - this was judged according to the US military's death standards, if there was only one breath left on the spot, it would not be considered dead!
After the incident, several resistance organizations publicly claimed the results of the battle. But it is obvious that if the local resistance organizations had this ability, what would they have done long ago?
Influenced by international and domestic public opinion, Clinton had to announce another increase in troops to Iraq. Affected by this news, the situation in the Middle East suddenly became tense.
Compared with the invisible mobile communications, Clinton had to focus more on the Middle East powder keg. He had just won the competition for world hegemony with the Soviet Union, and the arrogant Americans could not bear this. If Clinton wanted to be re-elected again, he would not show any signs of weakness in Iraq.
What? Competition in the semiconductor industry in Asia? Let’s lean on it first.
Anyway, so many think tanks have said that China's economy will collapse sooner or later, so there is no rush to be a moment.
