Chapter 3572: Prepare to Sue
Bush was confused on the spot. .Do you think you can talk like that? Even though the U.S. Constitution stipulates different rights and obligations for the president and governors, no matter what, I am still your superior. You don't have such a tone. Especially for Lin Feng, a Chinese!
"Governor Schwarzenegger, please pay attention to your tone!" Bush showed his official authority on the spot.
"President Bush, what's wrong with my tone? Isn't it bad? You have denied the visa to the largest foreign investor in California and the largest taxpayer in California, preventing him from coming to the United States. You said I'm not in a hurry!" Schwarzenegger roared directly.
Bush was sprayed with saliva. Of course, if a phone could deliver drool.
"Okay, okay, Governor Schwarzenegger, please pay attention to your identity. You are not a movie star now, you are the governor of California!" Bush reminded while holding back his temper.
"Whether I am a movie star or the governor of California, I am an American. I am extremely indignant at your irrational behavior, President." Schwarzenegger muttered, but his voice remained the same. He came down and said, "President Bush, please give me an explanation. Why was my largest investor in California denied a visa?"
"Because he may endanger the national security of the United States, Secretary of State Rice refused the visa!" Bush said angrily, "Governor Schwarzenegger, I hope you understand one thing, that is, in the face of national security and the interests of a certain state, I believe you should know how to choose! Also, let me remind you that you are the governor of California, not a personal friend!”
"Endangering national security? President Bush, can you explain to me how he endangered national security? I need an explanation. Of course, these explanations are not for me, but for the 38 million people in California!" Schwarzenegger demanded.
Bush was upset. Why is this Schwarzenegger so clueless? It's really upsetting to ask. But he doesn't have the right to directly order Schwarzenegger to do anything. The United States is a federal country, from top to bottom, elected by the people and impeached by the people. What Bush can appoint and remove are the directors of several departments under his direct jurisdiction. But when he reached the governor level, Schwarzenegger refused to abandon him at all, and there was nothing he could do.
"President Bush, give me a reason! I want to explain it to the 38 million state residents! You know, Lin Feng is very popular in California!" Schwarzenegger continued to use public opinion to test the pressure.
Bush frowned, really fed up with Schwarzenegger.
"Secretary of State Rice handled this matter directly. If you want to ask for the reason, go directly to her!" Bush had no choice but to push everything to Secretary of State Rice.
Schwarzenegger frowned and then hung up the phone.
Rice! Schwarzenegger played with the phone a few times, feeling a little hesitant. As for Bush, he dared to question him because this was a right granted to him by the U.S. Constitution. All citizens of the United States have the 'right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,' so he can question Bush. But Rice is a woman who is not easy to mess with. Even though there is a big difference in size between him and Rice, he is strong and powerful, while Rice is petite and exquisite. But in terms of political aura, Schwarzenegger must admit that, There are few people in the United States who are better than Rice.
But the call still had to be made. This is not only because of his relationship with Lin Feng, but also because Lin Feng has indeed played a great role in the development of California's economy. Not to mention the "Windy City" in which he invested hundreds of billions of dollars in Los Angeles, the "Second Entertainment" he established in the United States not only brought huge tax revenue to California economically,
And it has great influence. Just for these reasons, he had to make this call. What's more, he has a greater ambition - to be the President of the United States. However, due to the U.S. Constitution, he cannot currently serve as president of the United States. Because he is a generational immigrant, he cannot serve as President of the United States. His son may become president of the United States.
As for the current situation, he has no choice. I can only think of some external forces. And Lin Feng is one of the external forces he strives for. Regardless of whether Lin Feng can really help him, at least he still has hope.
"Secretary Rice. I am Governor Schwarzenegger. Why was Lin Feng denied a visa? I need to give an explanation to my 38 million state residents!" Schwarzenegger asked. As for Rice, it won't work if you are too weak, she will eat you to death. As for strength, she is stronger. All in all, this is a difficult woman.
"Governor Schwarzenegger, Lin Feng may endanger the national security of the United States and harm the national interests of the United States in the future, so I issued a document to refuse him from coming to the United States. I hope you can cooperate! For the sake of the United States!" Secretary of State Rice said coldly Gave Schwarzenegger a nail.
"Lin Feng is the richest man in the world, and his behavior in the United States has always been very friendly. If the visa is refused because it may harm the interests of the United States in the future, I cannot accept this reason!" Schwarzenegger said coldly.
"I'm sorry, you don't need to accept this, I just need you to execute it. Of course, you don't have to execute it. I will execute it! Okay, I still have a lot of things to deal with, so I won't tell you more." After Rice said, Just hung up the phone.
Damn old woman! With such a bad temper, she is indeed an old maid! Schwarzenegger muttered. This woman really doesn't give anyone face. After thinking for a while, sighing, Schwarzenegger called Lin Feng again.
"Mr. Lin, it seems that Rice is determined to fight you." Schwarzenegger snorted, "But don't worry, you are the largest foreign investor in our state, and you have an excellent reputation in our state, so I will help you. But, Lin, I also need you to do something!"
"Governor, please speak. I am very grateful that you can help me!" Lin Feng said gratefully.
If he can't land in the United States this time, he will definitely miss Liu Yifei's birthday. Of course, Lin Feng is not afraid of missing this birthday. I believe Liu Yifei will understand. However, the consequences of this are very troublesome. Although Rice's method is ridiculous, it really hits Lin Feng's soft spot. In the long run, if Lin Feng and the people around him really can't go to the United States, they will go crazy. At that time, Lin Feng can only give up the American market. But the United States is the largest market in the world. If it is given up, the lost benefits will be too great.
"I need you to let more Californians know that you have been denied a visa. I can't do this. Although I can do it, my wife's family makes it inconvenient for me. Moreover, the news media in the United States are all private. As the governor, I am afraid it will be bad to impose some ideas on these media." Schwarzenegger said with difficulty.
The US Constitution guarantees the 'separation of powers' and at the same time restricts the rights of American officials. As the governor now, many things and words are difficult to say and do.
"I know, leave this to me!" Lin Feng nodded. This is a small matter. Lin Feng controls the two major American mainstream newspapers, The New York Times and USA Today. With the newspapers of the Hearst family, Lin Feng can now influence 60% of the news agencies in the United States. Whatever you want to promote, Lin Feng can do it easily.
"Okay, as long as you can do this, I can use the name of the state government to sue the federal government and help you apply for a visa! I can even apply for a special permanent visa for you! Of course, this special permanent visa is only limited to California!" Schwarzenegger smiled.
Rice's arrogant remarks had already made Schwarzenegger angry. He always plays tough guys in movies, and this is also the case in daily life. Rice is so strong that he will not bow his head.
Lin Feng hung up the phone. He casually called Ron and told him what Schwarzenegger meant.
"Lin, if Governor Schwarzenegger is willing to help, it would be great. Otherwise, it would be very troublesome for us to sue privately, and it would take a long time. On the contrary, if the California government sues, they can speed up the process. As for expanding the impact of this matter, you don't have to do it, because your woman has already done it for you." Ron said with a smile.
Helped me do it? Lin Feng's eyebrows jumped.
"Haha, your 'Wind Wings' should be able to watch satellite TV, turn on the TV and see!" Ron said with a smile.
Lin Feng turned on the satellite TV with a puzzled look on his face, and when Lin Feng saw the picture clearly, he almost fainted. In this picture, Avril, Jessica, Lin Chiling, Huang Meixi, Lin Zhihui, and Sharapova are walking on the streets of Los Angeles, followed by a group of stars from "Second Entertainment", followed by a group of employees, and then followed by a group of people, marching and demonstrating on the streets!
"Protest against Lin Feng's unreasonable visa rejection by the Immigration Bureau!"
"Protest against the Immigration Bureau's illegal visa rejection of Lin Feng!"
"Protest against the government's abuse of power!"
Slogans shouted by Avril and others, echoed by many stars and staff behind them, and many people, shaking the mountains and rivers. Even if Lin Feng was in front of the TV, he could feel the noise in downtown Los Angeles at this moment.
They are really awesome! Lin Feng stammered for a long time, and could only use this word to describe Avril and others. Of course, he was very moved in his heart. They actually went to the streets to march and demonstrate, this is crazy! But seeing that there were reporters from various TV stations all around, Lin Feng knew that it would be impossible to calm this matter down with their behavior. The sensational effect that Schwarzenegger wanted was now there.
Indeed! At the first moment, all media in the United States reported on the demonstration. All TV stations, radio stations, newspapers, magazines, and the Internet reported on the demonstration as soon as possible. The images of Avril and others' demonstrations instantly appeared in every corner of the United States. The news that Lin Feng was denied a visa by the US Immigration Service was also spread to all parts of the world at the first moment.
Public resentment arose!
