Chapter 548 Hiring Xi Sai
"Mr. Sisay, thank you very much for coming to Detroit to defend my friend."

In a coffee shop, Lin Zhenhua and Xi Sai were sitting face to face. Lin Zhenhua tried his best to restrain his excitement, and said to Xi Sai with plain evidence.As for why he was excited, this question does not need to be explained. If you know that the person sitting in front of you will become the President of the United States in 10 years, I am afraid you will not be able to calm down.

Xi Sai has no feeling about his future. He is just a street lawyer. Although he is very capable, he often cannot get business because of his skin color.He is planning to run for state legislature, but it will require a lot of money, and he has not yet found a way to raise money.Facing the wealthy Lin Zhenhua, what Xi Sai thought most about was how to explain that Lin Zhenhua gave him some financial support.

When Lin Zhenhua heard that Du Xiangyang needed a lawyer, he thought of Xi Sai.Before that, Hornby had introduced Sisai's current situation to him. In Lin Zhenhua's view, it would be more appropriate to invite Sisai to serve as Du Xiangyang's lawyer, because there are actually quite strong elements of racial discrimination in this case. Please A black man as a lawyer can just remind the judge to pay attention to this problem, and at the same time, it can attract the attention of the media.

Of course, another reason why Lin Zhenhua wanted to invite Xi Sai was that he hoped to have a chance to establish a relationship with the future head of the United States, which is inconvenient to disclose to others.

Lin Zhenhua called Hornby and asked him to contact Xi Sai for help.After hearing the background of the case, Xi Sai readily agreed to act as Du Xiangyang's defense lawyer, and immediately rushed to Detroit to meet with Lin Zhenhua.

"Mr. Lin, I have already learned about this case. Your friend is facing 53 charges involving mishandling of classified information, espionage and so on. However, according to my judgment, the FBI has not I don’t have any conclusive evidence, if I come to serve as your friend’s defense lawyer, I am sure to overturn the FBI’s allegations, and I may even get some compensation for your friend,” Sisay said.

Lin Zhenhua has no doubts about Xi Sai's ability. A person who can fool voters all over the United States should have no major problems in a lawsuit.He nodded and said: "Mr. Xisai, the key to this case is that Mr. Du Xiangyang is a Chinese. According to what we have learned, in the core laboratory of Carter Company, the engineer who is engaged in the same job as Du Xiangyang There are dozens more, but none of them have been suspected, only Du Xiangyang's evidence has been searched. I think this is a typical phenomenon of racial discrimination."

Cice waved his hands with a smile, and said, "Mr. Lin, racial discrimination has always existed in the United States, but Mr. Du's case is not a simple issue of racial discrimination, but a concern of the federal government about Red China. If Mr. Du was not a Chinese, but... say, a Sri Lankan, or a Nepalese, then the federal government would not be so nervous."

"Oh? You mean...the China threat theory?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

West Circuit: "Yes. Mr. Lin may not be clear. In the United States, the topic of China's threat has become very popular in recent years. By the way, there is a topic related to your Hanhua company."

"Really?" Lin Zhenhua asked in surprise, "No way, our Hanhua can actually be related to the China threat theory?"

West Circuit: "Not long ago, you undertook the ethylene project in Venezuela, and recently you are building several large-scale machinery factories for Venezuela. Are these things true?"

"Well, is this the threat from China?" Lin Zhenhua asked.

West Circuit: "Of course, you don't understand the significance of South America to the United States. South America has always been the sphere of influence of the United States, but now, the Chinese have begun to set foot in South America, which makes quite a few American politicians feel unhappy. The political situation in Venezuela There have been some changes recently, and the anti-American tendency has become more and more obvious. Under such circumstances, your company’s cooperation with Venezuela on such a large scale will certainly be regarded as a threat to the United States.”

"Is that so?" Lin Zhenhua's heart sank, and he asked hesitantly, "Then, Mr. Xisai, what do you think about this issue?"

"I never thought that China would be a threat to the United States." Xi Sai said, "With all due respect, China's economic scale is only 1/8 of that of the United States, and its technology is generally more than 20 years behind the United States. I think that at least 30 years. Within this year, China is unlikely to become a threat to the United States, on the contrary, you will still be an important partner of the United States."

"I very much agree with your opinion." Lin Zhenhua quickly echoed.He didn't think Sisay's confession was hypocritical, because at that time in the United States, the China threat theory only existed in the minds of some people, and quite a few Americans had the same views as Sisay.They see China as a country that can provide them with cheap goods, not as a competitor.

During this period, the industrial structure of the United States and China were basically complementary, and there was no obvious competitive relationship.The Chinese are engaged in labor-intensive industries conscientiously, while the Americans are busy playing the financial industry with empty hands.Think about it, which bank boss would think that the peddler selling tea eggs at the door could pose a threat to him?

"Mr. Cisse, I think it is most appropriate for the United States to be managed by wise and knowledgeable people like you. It is really inappropriate for the United States to let those short-sighted politicians dominate the operation of the United States. It's commensurate." Lin Zhenhua flattered Xi Saida.

"Mr. Lin is over the award." Xi Sai was fooled by Lin Zhenhua and said with a smile on his face. He said, "To tell you the truth, I am indeed planning to run for the state legislature. have some impact."

"If possible, I am very willing to provide some support to Mr. Xi Sai." Lin Zhenhua said, "However, as a Chinese company, Hanhua Company, if we donate campaign funds to you, it may bring some damage to your reputation. affect it?"

"This...it is indeed inappropriate to directly accept donations from Chinese companies." Xi Sai said regretfully.

"Then, what if it's indirect..." Lin Zhenhua sensitively detected the flaws in Xi Sai's words, and asked further.

A shy look appeared on Xi Sai's face, and he said falteringly: "No one will pursue this matter. After all, it is difficult to find evidence for indirect matters, and the most important thing in law is evidence."

"I understand." Lin Zhenhua knew it in his mind, "Well, Mr. Xisai, now I officially hire you as his defense lawyer for my friend. Of course, the final decision rests with him. We can go to the court tomorrow. Talk to him. I will pay all your legal fees, and I think the amount should satisfy you."

"Thank you very much," Sisai said.

Look at this mess, we can hire Xi Sai to work, glory, Lin Zhenhua thought evilly in his heart.He went on to say: "As for your running for parliament, I am very supportive. As far as your position against the China threat theory is concerned, I think you are a congressman worthy of our support. Since it is not convenient for us to directly provide support to you , I'll ask Hornby of Tiger to provide you with some campaign money on my behalf."

"If I can be elected as a state legislator, I will definitely promote economic and technological exchanges between China and the United States, and help the two sides establish a partnership as soon as possible." Xi Sai is worthy of being a politician. After hearing Lin Zhenhua's promise, He hurriedly voted for Li and made his own promise to Lin Zhenhua.

The next day, Lin Zhenhua brought Xi Sai to the police station and met with Du Xiangyang who was in custody.When Du Xiangyang saw Lin Zhenhua for the first time, he couldn't help but have mixed feelings, and he didn't know where to start.

"Brother Lin, why are you here..." Du Xiangyang said.

Lin Zhenhua said: "Xiangyang, I came to the United States to discuss business this time, and I happened to hear about you. I know you are innocent, don't worry, everyone will help you clear your grievances."

Du Xiangyang smiled lightly, and said, "Brother Lin, thank you. Actually, I know best if I am wronged or not. It is not accidental that this matter will develop to this point. When it comes down, the ending is already doomed, so what's the difference between cleaning and cleaning?"

"Xiangyang..." Lin Zhenhua hesitated to speak. Of course, he could hear Du Xiangyang's full of regret, but this occasion is really not the place to discuss this issue.He pointed to Xi Sai beside him, and said, "Xiang Yang, don't mention the past, let's settle the present matter first. Let me introduce you, this is Xi Sai, a famous lawyer from New York. Mr. Sai, I discussed your matter with him, and he is very willing to act as your defense lawyer, do you think it is suitable for you?"

"Oh, hello, Mr. Xisai." Du Xiangyang nodded politely to Xisai, and then said to Lin Zhenhua: "Brother Lin, since this Mr. Xisai is a famous lawyer, the fees should be relatively high." ?I……"

"Don't worry, Xiangyang, you don't have to worry about Mr. Xi Sai's lawyer's fees, I will pay them in full," Lin Zhenhua said.

Du Xiangyang smiled wryly and said: "Brother Lin, it is precisely because I know this that I feel so sorry. I used to accept your sponsorship to study in the United States, but in the end I couldn't do anything for Hanhua. Now because of my I got involved in a lawsuit for my own reasons, and then use Brother Lin's money to hire a lawyer, I really feel ashamed."

Lin Zhenhua said: "Xiangyang, don't think too much. I help you not to make you contribute to Hanhua, but because you are a Chinese. No matter where you go, you are a Chinese. .If the Chinese people are in trouble, if you don’t care about it, who else can you manage?”
