Chapter 984

The enmity between Lu Zhou and Exxon Mobil is an old story.

In fact, if it wasn't for that paper to be turned out again, it would have passed.

But the problem is that the paper was not only turned out, but also turned from worthless to a key to the trillion market

On the other side of the Pacific.

An office in the White House.

Pushing aside the assistant who was trying to stop him, woods walked into the office, propped his hand on the desk, stared at White House chief of staff Kevin, who was sitting opposite the desk, and said word for word.

"I want to see the president!"

Looking at Woods standing at his desk with a headache on his face, Kevin stopped his pen and sighed.

"The president is not in the white house now. I'm afraid I don't have time to see you. It's the same with me. I will pass on your request to his Excellency the president, if it is within reason. "

Exxon Mobil is one of the funders of their party. Although they may not necessarily follow their father's advice, no one will be willing to disagree with green Franklin If it is not necessary

Looking at the way the chief of staff didn't pay attention to his speech, woods took a deep breath and stared at him as he sped on.

"Listen, the patent of lithium-air battery originally belongs to us, but they robbed us of what originally belongs to us by shameful means! This is a business fraud of red fruit! "

Even after years of wandering in politics, he has developed a wall like face, but listening to Wuci's words, Kevin still has several black lines on his head.

Even commercial fraud has come out

The patent transfer contract is so clear in black and white. Can someone else force you to sign it?

"So what do you want me to do? Persuade the president and Congress to change the law? "

Woods opened his mouth for a moment.

In fact, he didn't come up with a good idea.

Before coming here, Exxon Mobil's salesmen had already run to Shanghai several times, and even offered 10 times the price that star technology bought the patent from them with the help of shell company, but still failed to buy the cage carbon molecule patent back

Looking at the Silent Woods, Kevin sighed and said, "maybe you should think about it carefully and come back to me."

Seeing that the president's chief of staff didn't seem to be trying to help himself, woods took a deep breath and continued, with a hard look on his face, staring into his eyes.

"Listen, how important is lithium-air battery technology? I don't need to talk about it any more, do you? At the beginning, because of the lithium sulfur battery, our new energy industry has already lagged behind a large part of China. If we let them master the lithium air battery technology, we will fall into the abyss of eternal doom. Do you understand what I mean? "

"Patents may only last for more than 20 years, but as long as they lie on us and suck blood continuously, and then cultivate their own R & D strength with the nutrients they suck from us, we will never lose the chance to surpass them, and we will always be 20 years behind them! Can only constantly pay for their own backwardness! Just like the dilemma Chinese people are facing in the semiconductor industry! "

"In order to avoid falling into this abyss, no matter how we use it, we must do something!"

Kevin frowned a little.

In his opinion, the CEO of Exxon Mobil is only venting his anger at being defeated by Chinese enterprises, but one sentence attracted his attention.

If we let China continue to lead in the new energy industry, it will definitely not be a good thing for the United States.

In particular, when the Chinese are holding the trump card of controllable nuclear fusion

Just as Kevin was thinking about how to report this to the president, the door of the office suddenly opened.

The rude opening of the door interrupted Woods' chatter, and a man in a plaid shirt stepped in, almost in the same tone.

"I want to see the president!"

Kevin's expression is a little strange. He looks at musk standing at the door and says after calming down.

"Someone said the same thing to you about half an hour ago, or Will you discuss it in private first? "

Musk looked at woods in the office, thought about who he was for a while, but didn't remember, so he took a deep breath and watched Kevin continue.

"Listen, no matter what this gentleman said, what I'm going to say next is a very important thing. It's important enough for you to let go of your current work. Wait for me to say --"

Kevin: "let me guess first, is it related to new energy

Musk was slightly stunned, and then made a ring of fingers.

"Yes! Or more precisely, lithium air batteries! If you pay attention to the news recently, you should know what those damned Chinese have done! They tie the two unrelated technologies of lithium-air battery and wireless charging together, and force us to accept the standards they set like rogues It's like... "He held his breath in his throat, opened and closed his mouth, struggled for a long time, then found a set of accurate words, and breathed out the emotion held in his throat.

“…… It's like forcing us to eat shit! "

"Poof!"

Woods, standing next to him, almost couldn't help it. He was amused by the metaphor, because this funny expression really looks like eating something that shouldn't be eaten.

It wasn't until two other people in the office looked at him that Woods suddenly realized his gaffe, gave a dry cough and put on a serious expression.

"Sorry I feel sorry for what happened to you. "

Musk opened his mouth and wanted to say something more.

But just then, sitting at the back of his desk, Kevin pushed away his chair and stood up.

"Well, gentlemen, today's meeting is here. I have a very important meeting to hold in a moment. It's impossible to discuss it with you endlessly."

He took a look at woods and then at musk. He held his breath and thought for a few seconds. He continued.

"I understand what you want to say. Star technology is a threat. Am I right?"

Said musk and woods, gritting their teeth as they lowered their heads.

"Yes, it's not just a threat. Their existence is just a cancer!"

"Yes, I must add that it is a shameful thief! Thief! "

"Well, gentlemen, the White House will take this matter seriously!" Kevin nodded gravely, "we will ask the Ministry of Commerce to investigate the patent acquisition six years ago, as well as the provisions of SH standard suspected of illegal use of patents and improper competition. If the situation is true, we will give you a satisfactory answer!"

At last musk reluctantly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although such results are not 100% satisfactory, at least 80% of them are satisfied.

As long as the Ministry of commerce can cap star technology as a suspected monopoly, most problems can be solved.

After all, the U.S. Department of Commerce's antitrust investigation is no joke.

As long as those people stare at it, even star technology has to take off a layer of skin

Musk believed it.

……

The meeting is over.

Reluctantly, woods came out of the White House with a tired face and sat in the black limousine at the door.

Sitting opposite him, a man in a black suit asked in a voice that didn't have many waves.

"How is it?"

He seemed a little afraid of the man, Woods said in a restrained tone, not as aggressive as he had been in the chief of staff's office.

"The white house seems to recognize the importance of the problem, and they intend to launch an antitrust investigation on Star Technology. I saw Tesla's CEO just now Did you let him come? "

"No," Lawrence continued, after turning casually and nodding to the driver to show that he was ready to drive. "I didn't instruct him to do anything, but apparently they made the right choice."

Woods frowned and continued, "do you like Tesla's charging point business in China so much? With all due respect, although China's market is huge, this kind of public utilities related to national security Even if they are willing to make some changes to open up to private enterprises, they may not allow a foreign-funded enterprise that fails to pass the political examination to control the power output port of Shanghai. "

"Mr. Woods, I ask you to think about a problem," Lawrence said with a casual smile. "If the White House changes its owner every four years, how can we ensure that every president is a good person who can take care of us?"

Woods frowned.

"This is a technical problem. First of all, we have to investigate the voter support rate of each state. Through -"

"it's not as complicated as you think."

Lawrence shook his head, only raised two fingers, just like a V word representing victory, and shook it gently in front of the CEO of Mobil.

"To sum up, you can bet on both sides."

-(alas, I miss the next day of sand sculpture netizens. I know you must be very angry if you can't send chapters now. I'm also angry if you don't copy book reviews
