Chapter 3571 Internal Struggle
"Why was my boyfriend denied a visa!" Avril banged on the desk of the Los Angeles Immigration Bureau. .
The staff of the Immigration Bureau had a dark face. It was supposed to be a good day today, with nothing happening. This was a good thing for the Immigration Bureau. Usually, every day, they were either checking illegal immigrants here or searching for illegal workers there, and they were busy as hell. Occasionally, it was like today, leisurely and without any phone ringing, which was really a very enjoyable thing.
But in the end, it was almost time to get off work, and a group of women rushed in and slammed the table when they came in. You say you are angry, but when you see who is slamming the table, you are a little dumbfounded.
Avril! This punk little princess, from "Second Entertainment", and Jessica, the sexy Hollywood goddess, and Natalie Portman, the "Star Queen", God, why did they come here so aggressively!
After the staff finally figured out what was going on, they were sweating. Lin Feng was denied a visa! This, they don't know!
"Wait, wait, let me check!" The staff sweated on their foreheads.
Lin Feng built a 'Windy City' in the suburbs of Los Angeles, which has long become a hot topic in Los Angeles. Every day, many Los Angeles citizens drive to the 'Windy City' to watch the construction progress. You know, everyone is a builder of a city, but the changes in urban construction are slow, and no one can clearly feel the sudden changes in a city. But now, this 'Windy City' is changing with each passing day, which makes Los Angeles citizens very happy.
They are surprised that they can witness a miracle in the history of architecture, surprised that after the 'Windy City' is built, they have another place to go and play, and also surprised that the economy of Los Angeles will get better and better.
As an investor in the 'Windy City', Lin Feng is naturally a distinguished guest of the Los Angeles Municipal Government. Lin Feng built the 'Windy City' in the suburbs of Los Angeles. Regardless of whether he was competing with Hollywood, he brought huge economic effects to Los Angeles. Although most of its workers are Chinese, with only a small number of Americans, these workers buy agricultural products from the farmers' market in Los Angeles for food and drink, and these workers occasionally come to Los Angeles and buy a lot of items to bring back to their families.
Of course, in addition to these, there are a lot of taxes, as well as a large number of jobs created in the future and the direct and indirect economic benefits brought. Under these factors, the mayor of Los Angeles likes Lin Feng very much and has made many public statements in support of Lin Feng. At this time, if Lin Feng is rejected, the mayor of Los Angeles will probably be furious.
"How is it, what's the reason?" Avril waited for a few minutes and asked unhappily.
"This, this, this" the staff member was speechless.
He has found out the reason, but this reason cannot be made public. Lin Feng's visa rejection file says - insufficient authority. Yes, it is the four words of insufficient authority. What does this insufficient authority mean? According to their internal jargon, it means that their level is low, and ordinary staff are not qualified to inquire about the reason for Lin Feng's visa rejection. Obviously, Lin Feng's visa rejection this time was the intention of the top leaders. Since it was the intention of the top management, they could not intervene.
"Tell me! Why was my boyfriend denied a visa!" Avril said dissatisfiedly.
The staff looked depressed. How could he explain this? This was obviously the intention of the top management, he could not intervene, and he could not tell the reason.
"Sorry, I can't answer this question. Because I don't have enough authority!" The staff could only tell the truth.
I am just a small employee, you are a big star, don't come to trouble me if you are angry, "I really can't help you about this matter, you can go to the mayor!"
Go to the mayor!
Avril frowned. Is this effective? Jessica and others looked at each other and nodded. In any case, Lin Feng was denied a visa. As the largest investor in Los Angeles this year, he was denied a visa and could not come to the United States. The mayor of Los Angeles has reason to be responsible. Not to say that Lin Feng must enter the United States immediately, but at least to find out why Lin Feng was denied a visa.
The mayor of Los Angeles is Antonio Villaraigosa, born in 1953 in a poor Mexican immigrant family in eastern Los Angeles, a child who grew up in a poor family. With his own efforts and work-study program, he eventually became a political leader. In 2004, he defeated Hahn, who was born in a white political family, and became not only the first Latino mayor of Los Angeles in more than 130 years, but also the first candidate to unseat a mayor who was running for re-election in 32 years.
Mayor Villaraigosa is a mayor who speaks for the poor. He is also a mayor who speaks for minorities and disadvantaged groups.
"What, Lin Feng was denied a visa?" Villaraigosa frowned. He met Avril and the others, thinking that there was some new performing arts activity that needed support from the municipal government. Unexpectedly, it was because Lin Feng was denied a visa. Villaraigosa was also very surprised by this question.
Lin Feng was denied a visa! God, how could Lin Feng be denied a visa? This is incredible!
"Don't worry, wait, let me find out." Villaraigosa immediately called the Immigration Bureau.
As the mayor of Los Angeles, his authority is naturally greater and he naturally knows more. He soon learned that this was the reason for the cancellation of Lin Feng's US visa issued by Secretary of State Rice herself. Lin Feng refused to go to the United States because Rice signed a document that determined that Lin Feng might endanger US national security.
"Mayor Villaraigosa, what's the reason?" Avril asked hurriedly.
Mayor Villaraigosa frowned. This question is a bit tricky. This is related to US national security, and he can't make any opinions in the middle, especially involving Secretary of State Rice. After all, he is just a mayor with limited power, and he can't be sure whether Lin Feng will really endanger US national security.
"Don't worry, I'll make a few more calls." Mayor Villaraigosa said in a deep voice.
Then, Mayor Villaraigosa called the governor of California, where Los Angeles belongs. Of course, the governor of California is also an old acquaintance of Lin Feng, and a former superstar-Arnold Schwarzenegger.
"What? Lin Feng was denied a visa?" Schwarzenegger was also stunned. He didn't expect Lin Feng to be denied a visa. This was too unexpected.
"Governor, now Lin Feng's girlfriend Avril and others came to me to complain and ask for an explanation. And what I understand is that Secretary of State Rice personally issued a document, determining that Lin Feng may endanger the national security of the United States, so he was denied a visa to enter the United States." Mayor Villaraigosa whispered.
Regarding this issue, it is related to the Secretary of State and may involve the national interests of the United States, so Villaraigosa hid in his study to make a phone call.
"Okay, I know. I'll go find out." Schwarzenegger nodded and hung up the phone.
Secretary of State Rice! Schwarzenegger has had several contacts with this strong woman. Not easy to mess with! This is his view of Rice. This time Rice personally issued a document to refuse Lin Feng's visa. Although it is said that Lin Feng may endanger the national security of the United States, for Schwarzenegger, this is impossible. Lin Feng is just a businessman! He is not a terrorist, how could he endanger the national security of the United States. I'm afraid that Lin Feng had offended Secretary of State Rice under some circumstances.
"Hey, Lin, I heard that your visa was rejected!" Schwarzenegger called Lin Feng.
"Ah, yes, you were ordered to return home immediately. I'm waiting on the plane!" Lin Feng shrugged.
"Lin, I heard that Secretary of State Rice personally issued an order to reject your visa on the grounds that you might endanger national public security. What's the matter? Do you have a conflict with Rice? Do you want me to mediate between you? Otherwise, it's not a big deal that you can't come to the United States!" Schwarzenegger said with a smile.
"Hey, that old maiden doesn't have a grudge against me, but because of Libya! I just invested there, and she opposed it. She wanted me to withdraw my investment, otherwise she wouldn't allow me to land in the United States again. You say, is there such an outrageous woman!" Lin Feng shrugged and said disdainfully.
Old maid! Wife! Schwarzenegger was very happy to hear this. He didn't like Rice very much. A woman is so strong that she has to put many men down. Why do you think women have to be so strong!
"You said you invested in Libya and were rejected by that old woman?" Schwarzenegger laughed and fell into deep thought. He had heard about the Libya issue, which was indeed related to the national interests of the United States. However, the US government and Libya have recently reconciled, and the EU and Libya have also cooperated at various levels recently. Africa and Libya have also had a very harmonious relationship recently. At this time, it is normal for Lin Feng to invest. There is nothing wrong.
"Well, I'll talk to the president. Wait for my good news!" Schwarzenegger hung up the phone after speaking. He turned around and hung up the phone with President Bush.
"President Bush, this is Schwarzenegger!" Schwarzenegger said in a deep voice.
Bush's brows moved. This person should be a lobbyist for Lin Feng. Bush was not surprised that Schwarzenegger was a lobbyist for Lin Feng. Schwarzenegger is the governor of California, and Los Angeles is in California. Lin Feng has invested hundreds of billions of dollars in Los Angeles, but he was denied a visa in Los Angeles. It is normal for Schwarzenegger to be a lobbyist.
"Governor Schwarzenegger, what do you want to see me about today?" Bush laughed.
"President Bush, I just want to ask why the best foreign investors and big taxpayers in California cannot apply for a US visa? Are you suppressing California?" Schwarzenegger asked.
Bush's brows were tangled at the time.
