Chapter 3563 Visa Crisis
"Your Excellency, Mr. Lin Feng has repeatedly had relations with Libya. I think it is necessary to warn him," Secretary of State Rice said.
As a strong woman, an 'old maid' who has not yet been married (to be notarized), she hates playboys like Lin Feng the most. I especially hate people like Lin Feng who openly declare their wealth. I hate him to the extreme. She has a million hatred for Lin Feng. For such a person to be able to succeed is simply a lack of justice in the world.
As for what Lin Feng has done in the United States in recent years, Secretary of State Rice does not pay too much attention. She is not interested in some purely commercial intrigues. No matter how violent the fight is, it's just a fight between some businessmen. What she cares about is U.S. defense issues. That's the big deal. No matter how much Lin Feng jumps around, he will not be able to cause any harm to the U.S. national defense.
Of course, the reason for Rice’s view is that she doesn’t know much about G23. If she knew the harmful power of ‘G23’ and the influence of ‘G23’ on the country, then she might not think so. As for why Rice, as the US Secretary of State, does not even have a clear understanding of the G23, this seems a bit illogical.
But in fact, the U.S. Secretary of State has too many things to deal with, and most of them are defense-related matters. In addition, the United States bills itself as the "world police" and manages everything that happens on this planet. Rice naturally cannot have too much energy to interfere with other things. In addition, the Secretary of State is always replaced as a president steps down, so Rice does not know about the ‘G23’.
Bush also frowned. Regarding Lin Feng, he is now in a mood of both disgust and expectation. What I hate is that I have been defeated by Lin Feng many times. What we are looking forward to is that the battle between Lin Feng and the G23 may allow the US government to regain control of the country. Of course, judging from the founding constitution of the United States, it is inevitable that the United States will become the plaything of the super consortium.
Being too aggressive means that your people may be played by the super chaebol. No matter how sound the law is, there will still be loopholes. No matter how violent a country is, there will be corruption. The most basic component of everything in this world is people. But humans are creatures that even the most advanced supercomputers cannot calculate.
That's why China has that classic saying - where a person's status is, there is a world.
"President, president!" Rice frowned and shouted.
"Ah~~~, what's the matter?" Bush woke up from his meditation and asked in surprise.
"Your Excellency, President, I think we should give Lin Feng a warning." Rice whispered, "The existence of Gaddafi has harmed our interests in North Africa, the Middle East and Western Europe. We need to establish our own in Libya." Military bases, which will help us influence the United States in Europe. Therefore, if Gaddafi continues to refuse to compromise, there will inevitably be a war between us and Libya. But now Lin Feng is always involved, which makes There are many variables in Libya.”
Bush nodded. Indeed, if Gaddafi remains uncompromising and waits for the United States to free its hands from Iraq, then the next target will be Gaddafi. In terms of the strength of both parties, there is no problem for the United States to destroy Libya. But from the lessons of Iraq, the United States has drawn a conclusion. Don’t get involved in a country easily, at least don’t try to do it all, lest you get stuck in the mud. The best way is to directly support an opposition group, and then let the opposition fight Gaddafi. This is the best ending.
But now that Lin Feng has intervened, the nature of the matter has changed. If the reactionaries themselves are not capable, then no amount of support will be of any use. Especially Lin Feng’s blending,
It is very likely that money will play a greater role in this, and the result may ultimately undermine the US conspiracy against Gaddafi.
"Rice, how do you think we should warn Lin Feng?" Bush asked.
That guy Lin Feng is really an anomaly. If Lin Feng's method is not right, if Lin Feng announces it to the outside world, it will be really fatal. That would be a big embarrassment. Even if there is no embarrassment, Lin Feng will definitely be blackmailed. This guy is very courageous. To use a Chinese saying, he is bolder than his weight.
Rice snorted coldly.
"I'll call him and warn him later. If he dares not to listen, it's easy to attack his company directly," Rice said coldly. Regarding Bush's various concerns, Rice felt that it was a bit too fussy. For someone like Lin Feng, you don't have to worry too much at all, you can just deal with him directly. If you worry too much, you will be timid and ultimately achieve nothing.
Bush frowned.
"What are you going to do? He has a 'Ron Law Firm' behind him to support him. In the United States, everything must be legal. If he messes up, he will sue us." Bush was dissatisfied. explain.
He admires Rice very much, otherwise he would not have appointed Rice as his secretary of state, making her the second female secretary of state and the first black secretary of state in the history of the United States. Bush has always admired Rice for her strong attitude when facing other countries and her ability to grasp the subtle psychology of various countries.
But being so strong when it comes to dealing with Lin Feng's issue, that may not necessarily be good news. He is rich and powerful, and has a perfect team of lawyers behind him to help him fight the lawsuit. This kind of super rich man is the most difficult to deal with. After all, American law is biased towards disadvantaged groups. Especially when litigating with political departments, individuals have certain advantages. And ‘Ron Law Firm’ is the best at turning this advantage into a victory.
"President Bush, in fact, how to deal with Lin Feng was a headache for me before, because the laws of the United States do not allow us to do things as we please. But just this morning, when I was reading some news about Lin Feng, I found that Lin Feng often said one sentence!" Rice showed the joy of a winner on her face.
"Often say one sentence?" Bush frowned and thought about it. There were many words of Lin Feng in his mind. Most of the words he often said were - I am Chinese, or Lin Feng often said - create a big scene with me. Of course, the most common thing Bush heard was - Fengshen is mighty.
Whenever he heard someone shouting - Fengshen is mighty -, Bush was upset. Mighty, mighty, you MGB! And that 'Long live Fengshen', long live fart! The ** can't live long, can you 'Fengshen' live long?
But what do these words have to do with what they are discussing now? Bush looked gloomy. Thinking of this, he felt very unhappy, very, very unhappy, and even a little hysterical. A bit of special hatred.
"Mr. President, I found that Lin Feng often said that this world is made up of people." Secretary of State Rice said.
Bush nodded. Indeed, this world is made up of people. Lin Feng's view of the problem is indeed very accurate and thorough. This point must be admitted that Lin Feng is very accurate.
But what does it have to do with it? What does it have to do with them punishing Lin Feng!
"We want to punish Lin Feng's company, that's impossible. His company operates legally and pays taxes according to the law. We can't find any faults. Especially with the "Ron Law Firm" behind it, we can't find any faults. But as Lin Feng said, the most important factor in the composition of this world is people! His company is also made up of people!" Rice's eyes became brighter and brighter.
Bush nodded. Indeed, the composition of this society, the existence of human society, is because of people. It's not because of the names of countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom, let alone Morgan and General Motors. Everything is based on people.
"Do we have any way to deal with the people in Lin Feng's company? They all pay taxes according to the law! And they have not committed any crimes. In this regard, Lin Feng has done his best. Rice, let me say something discouraging. Sometimes, I really admire Lin Feng. It is really a skill to make so many employees of his company pay taxes according to the law and not do anything illegal. If it were not for the position of both sides, I am afraid I would personally give him a tax honor award!" Bush said with a bit of self-mockery.
Rice pursed her lips. She could understand the helplessness and self-mockery in Bush's heart. In the United States, countless companies evade taxes, especially all the super-rich people choose to evade taxes, at least they will take "legal" tax avoidance means to evade taxes, but Lin Feng has always paid as much tax as he should pay, and never evaded any taxes, even if it is a legal tax avoidance means, Lin Feng has never taken it. This makes Lin Feng have a good reputation in many states in the United States. Many governors like Lin Feng very much and welcome Lin Feng to invest.
In the United States, the president does not have the direct right to hire or deal with governors. This is different from many countries. In many countries, the head of a country has the greatest power and has direct jurisdiction over the governors, provincial governors, and mayors. But it is different in the United States. In the United States, the president does have the greatest power. He is the head of a country and the head of a government, which is not available in other countries. This seems very unfair, but in fact, the president cannot govern the governor. What the governor wants to do is up to the citizens of the state. His appointment and removal are all voted by the voters of the state.
Similarly, the governor has no power to govern the mayors of the cities under his state. As long as the mayors of the cities do not violate the US Constitution and the state laws of the states, they don't have to worry about anything or look at anyone's face.
On the balance between the rights of the states and the president's rights, a very famous political event in the United States is a very famous racial conflict in Little Rock, the capital of Arkansas, the hometown of former US President Clinton.
In 1954, the US Supreme Court declared that the racial segregation system in schools was unconstitutional, which sounded the clarion call for the complete abolition of racial discrimination in the United States. It also allowed black people to truly have equal rights with white people since the Civil War.
In 1957, the Little Rock Board of Education accepted the ruling of the federal district court, withdrew the racial segregation system, and approved nine black people to attend Little Rock Central High School and go to school with white people. As a result, on September 2, when the fall semester started, the state's Democratic governor Orville Forbes mobilized the National Guard to block the school and prohibit black students from enrolling.
Later, under the intervention of the court, Orville withdrew the National Guard on the 20th, allowing some white mobs to make trouble. On the 25th, President Eisenhower had to mobilize the 101st Airborne Division of the US Army to "occupy" Little Rock, maintain order, and temporarily directly control 10,000 state national guards. Under the protection of fully armed American soldiers, the nine black students were finally able to enroll.
In this matter, Arkansas Governor Orville could not abide by US federal laws, which was protected by the US Constitution. When President Eisenhower used the 101st Airborne Division of the U.S. Army to "occupy" Little Rock, he also consulted the federal court and obtained approval from Congress before he could do so. This is also a reflection of the spirit of American law.
So, now the states of the United States are friendly and welcoming to Lin Feng, which really makes Bush very depressed. If the states of the United States protect Lin Feng, even if Bush wants to take some actions against Lin Feng, it may not work.
"Mr. President, no matter how friendly the states are to Lin Feng, it is very easy for us to deal with Lin Feng. It's just that we didn't think of this before, or didn't realize it." Secretary of State Rice said.
"What method?" Bush asked.
"Lin Feng said that the constituent element of the world is people! His company needs people to manage it, so we start with people. These people abide by the law and pay taxes according to the law. We can't do anything. But there are many Chinese in Lin Feng's company, and most of these Chinese do not have green cards! Nor do they have the nationality of other countries. If they want to come to the United States, they must apply for a visa!" Secretary of State Rice smiled, "As long as we block this point and don't issue a visa to Lin Feng, how can Lin Feng come to the United States? Not only can he not come, but all his subordinates can't come! Without these people, how can he manage the company? Could he sneak in? If he sneaks in, he will be dead!"
Bush's eyes suddenly glowed with gold. This is a good idea. Don't issue visas to Lin Feng and his employees. See what he will do! If he can't come to the United States, he can't manage the company. It's impossible to monitor everything remotely. In that case, Lin Feng is finished. He must surrender! Of course, Lin Feng is still useful to Bush. He will naturally not really prevent Lin Feng from coming to the United States, but he will wait until Lin Feng comes to beg him before issuing a visa.
Haha! Lin Feng, you are finished! You are finished! This time, you have to bow to me! I must play a good trick on you this time! To vent my hatred! - Bush laughed wildly.
"Go and do it, do it as you say! I want to see what Lin Feng can say this time!" Bush ordered.
