industrial overlord

Chapter 547
Du Xiangyang stood at the door of his study, watching with cold eyes several policemen searching his computer and file cabinet.Behind him, there were two other policemen standing. Their duty was to monitor Du Xiangyang. If he made any changes, the two policemen would throw him down within a second.

Du Xiangyang didn't make any movements. In fact, he was completely numb from the moment the police rushed into his house.There is nothing greater than the death of the heart. At this moment, what he feels is that the heart is dead.

As early as a few days ago, after the company's vice president Scott returned from China, Du Xiangyang heard some rumors, saying that the company suspected that the data of the core laboratory had been leaked, and would conduct a strict investigation.When Du Xiangyang just heard the news, he was rather disapproving. He considers himself a person who pays great attention to professional ethics. If the research projects he has participated in involve company secrets, he will never disclose them on any external occasions. What was mentioned and leaked had nothing to do with him.

However, gradually, he felt that the eyes of his colleagues around him became flickering, and some meetings that he should have attended had excluded him with various excuses.A white engineer who had a good relationship with him hinted to him that the company's suspects this time were mainly of Chinese descent, and Du Xiangyang, as a Chinese who had always refused to become an American citizen, naturally stood out more.

These words made Du Xiangyang feel stunned. In his impression, the United States itself is a country established by immigrants. The natives here are Indians, and all whites are outsiders.Since then, blacks and Asians have poured in one after another and jointly created the prosperity of the United States.In Du Xiangyang's view, the United States is absolutely not xenophobic, which is one of the reasons why Du Xiangyang admires the United States.

However, the reality gave him a blow. When he suspected that there was a leak in the company, he became the most important suspect just because of his skin color. Could this be the attitude of a country that claims to be inclusive of everything?
Du Xiangyang took advantage of his rest day to make a special trip to the city's library and looked up some historical documents. After covering the papers, he let out a long sigh.The United States is not as tolerant as it claims to be, not to mention the persecution of Chinese during the notorious McCarthyism period. The so-called "glass ceiling" is not an exaggeration.

In Carter's core laboratory, the number of Chinese and ethnic Chinese is very small. Although the executives of Carter's company admit that the talents of Chinese engineers are very outstanding, there are very few people who can be selected into the core laboratory.

Du Xiangyang was able to enter the core laboratory because of his mentor's influence in Carter Corporation, but after entering this laboratory, Du Xiangyang did feel the discriminatory precautions he received.He always felt that as long as he worked hard and kept himself clean, he would eventually be recognized by the company.But what happened this time made him understand that his skin color is his reason, which he can never change.

Facing this humiliating suspicion, Du Xiangyang felt regretful for the first time.If he hadn't chosen to stay but had returned to China, he might be a professor at Huaqing University or a senior engineer at Hanhua University. No matter which position he is in, he can enjoy people's trust and respect. respect.

He originally thought that China's technology was decades behind that of the United States, and he would not have the opportunity to display his talents when he returned to China. However, in recent years, he has seen from many documents that China's technology is catching up. Classmates Ma Jie and Lin Fanghua have all become independent technical experts, and many achievements have already ranked among the top in the world.

As for Du Xiangyang, he stayed in the United States by accident. Although he has made some achievements in these years, he has never gained the same respect as his achievements.He abandoned his motherland, but the country he defected to couldn't really accept him. He was already a person without a motherland.A feeling of helplessness enveloped his body and mind, and he remembered that there was a legend in his hometown that those who could not be buried back to their homeland could not be reborn, and they could only wander in the world for a long time, becoming a ghost crying every night. The lonely ghost.

Is this the destination of my Du Xiangyang?he thought shudderingly.

"Why do you keep these materials taken out of the laboratory in your room?" A policeman stepped forward, waved a stack of documents with Carter's logo on it, and asked Du Xiangyang.

Du Xiangyang looked at the documents in the policeman's hand, and knew that he had indeed brought them back from the laboratory, but he never took these documents out of his study.He was very calm in his heart, so he replied lightly: "The confidentiality level of these materials is not high, and the company tacitly allows everyone to bring them out. We engineers often use our spare time to do some research work in our residences, so we have Some information is normal."

"We suspect that you handed over these materials to the Chinese," said the policeman.

"It's just your suspicion." Du Xiangyang replied.Up to now, it is useless for him to argue no matter how much he wants to accuse him of the crime. Since the Carter Company has determined that he is the leaker, then how can he prove his innocence.

"Because you are suspected of stealing core technical information and leaking it to a country that may pose a threat to the United States, we will arrest you according to law. You can hire a lawyer to defend you. This is your right." The policeman said, "What do you have?" A designated candidate?"

"No." Du Xiangyang said, "I've never prepared for this kind of thing, how about this, I'll call some of my friends and ask them to help me contact a suitable lawyer."

Du Xiangyang stayed in the United States for more than ten years and made many friends.After he was taken away by the police, his friends sprang into action, planning how to help him out.Donnie Yen came to the United States to bid this time, and when he had nothing to do, he also called a few classmates who were in the United States, and finally heard this amazing news.He remembered that Lin Zhenhua had said that Du Xiangyang was his good friend, so he rushed to inform Lin Zhenhua.

"How did this happen?" Lin Zhenhua was stunned after hearing what Yen Zifei said, "Du Xiangyang...is this considered to be shot while lying down?"

The Science and Technology Commission set up a bureau to deceive Carter, the purpose of which is to make Carter mistakenly believe that China has mastered the core technology of multi-axis high-speed machining centers, thereby canceling this embargo on China.In order to achieve the effect of being unreal, Lin Zhenhua and others carefully planned to bluff Scott and his party with concealed and half-real information.

Unexpectedly, it was precisely because of China's performance that Scott firmly believed that China had obtained these materials through industrial espionage.The technology mastered by Yang Wenjun and Chen Ying came from South Korean Miryang Company, and the technology of Miryang Company came from Carter Company, so it is no wonder that Scott has such a misunderstanding.Scott is aware of Miryang's technical situation, but he has never thought about it in this direction.Lin Zhenhua and the others made some extensions on the basis of Miryang's technology this time, which looks more like the technology directly obtained from Carter's company.

A scam that occurred in China actually involved Du Xiangyang in the United States, which was beyond Lin Zhenhua's expectations.In fact, when he set up this bureau, he didn't think about Du Xiangyang at all. Over the years, Du Xiangyang only sent him a greeting card during Christmas, and he didn't talk about any relationship at all.

"Zifei, what do you think of this matter?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

Zhen Zifei said: "I can't tell. Logically speaking, Du Xiangyang went abroad to study and then stayed in the United States. He failed the country's training for him. Therefore, what happened to him has nothing to do with the country. We There's no need to worry about him."

"Well, this is a 'reasonable statement', what if it is not logical?" Lin Zhenhua heard that Yen Zifei hadn't finished speaking, so he was not in a hurry to express his opinion.

Donnie Yen said: "However, Du Xiangyang is not bad in nature. As far as I know, although he has given up his service in China, he has always taken good care of the Chinese students studying in the United States. I heard that he often uses his salary to support Those poor international students, help them complete their studies. Among the Chinese students studying in the United States, he has a very good reputation, and among some foreign students who have just arrived in the United States, he even has the reputation of "timely rain."

Lin Zhenhua nodded: "Du Xiangyang is a bit confused in terms of political stance, but he can still be trusted in terms of life. Zifei, go and find out, see if we can help him, and how to do it. "

Yen Zifei said happily, "Boss Lin, have you agreed to help Du Xiangyang?"

Lin Zhenhua said: "Of course, if you can help him, why not? Not to mention that he is still my friend, even if he is a stranger, he is Chinese after all, right? Now that we know, how can we stand by and do nothing?"

"That would be great." Yen Zifei said, "When my friends heard that you were in the United States, they all told me that as long as Mr. Lin is willing to make a move, Du Xiangyang will definitely be able to save the day. What everyone is worried about is that you don't want to make a move. Well. In fact, everyone knows that Du Xiangyang’s study abroad was funded by you, and he also betrayed you.”

"This is a serious statement. I don't provide that kind of subsidy to buy a slave." Lin Zhenhua said, "Whether you are patriotic or not is a kind of belief and has nothing to do with money. If you take my subsidy, you must do whatever you want." , it seems that the study abroad fund I set up is too out of the ordinary, and the patriotism bought in this way is too cheap."

Donnie Yen said: "I knew that Lin was always a generous person, I'll go and contact my friends right away."
