Chapter 4552 Lin Feng Appears in Court
Hugh Grant had a gloomy face. Seeing the snickering expressions of his journalist friends around him, he was so depressed. Chinese, he swore that after this incident, he would definitely learn Chinese. China is the world's largest market, the most populous country in the world, the most centralized country, and the country with the most development momentum. If you want to make money easily in this country, you have to learn more Chinese.
Of course, even so, it does not mean that they will definitely lose today's trial. Originally, the situation on Monsanto's side was indeed critical, but that was because although it was the United States that commissioned Monsanto to manufacture "Agent Orange", the formula of "Agent Orange" was provided by the arms company under the DuPont consortium. The original commission of "Monsanto" was mainly to avoid the harm caused by "Agent Orange", which would affect the DuPont consortium. After all, Monsanto is just a small company that can be abandoned at any time, but the several major arms companies under the DuPont consortium cannot be abandoned. "Novel" The novel chapters are updated the fastest
So, Monsanto was accused by the victims of "Agent Orange" and had no way to fight back. Now, Lin Feng is so aggressive that he has proposed a shocking figure of 53.535 trillion US dollars. Even though DuPont has focused all his attention on Casablanca, he was speechless by this figure. Therefore, when letting Hugh Grant continue to handle the matter with full authority, old DuPont also used his connections to point the blame for the spraying of Agent Orange at that time to the Air National Guard.
As for whether this small Air National Guard can bear this responsibility? Obviously it is impossible. After all, the harm of this chemical weapon is long-term to mankind. It is a chemical weapon condemned by the Geneva Convention. Although it is not as notorious as those chemical weapons. For example, "Sarin Gas" is so notorious. But it is still resisted by all mankind. How can this small Air National Guard bear this responsibility?
So why does the "DuPont Consortium" rely on this Air National Guard? The reason is very simple. Today's US President Bush served in the National Guard during the Vietnam War. And that period happened to be when the US Air Force sprayed "Agent Orange". According to the DuPont consortium's inquiry, the Air National Guard once operated a flight of aircraft to spray "Agent Orange". Although it had nothing to do with Bush, the company he was in sprayed "Agent Orange". So, as long as everything is pushed onto the Air National Guard, Bush will not be calm.
Bush chose other channels and left the army early. But when he was running for president, Bush declared that he was a veteran of the Vietnam War. This helped him become the Prime Minister of the United States and won a lot of votes. If Bush now claims that he was not in the Air National Guard, it would be a blow to his reputation. Although he is about to step down, it is still a big blow to the Bush family. So. Bush, can't stand idly by. And this time. Bush secretly helped Lin Feng to allow the lawsuit to be held in the Windy City. Obviously, although there is hatred between Bush and Lin Feng, there is obviously still room for cooperation. After all, for politicians and businessmen, any personal hatred is nonsense, and what really concerns both sides is the interests.
Bush vetoed Monsanto's proposal to accuse Windy City of injustice this time. Obviously, Bush has some ideas.
Although the DuPont consortium does not have any calculations on Bush at present, since Bush vetoed Monsanto's proposal to move the trial to other states, the DuPont consortium will naturally put all this on Bush. The DuPont consortium wants to see what Bush will do!
If everything is finally attributed to the Air National Guard, what will he do as a president who once served in the Air National Guard? Will he consider bringing negative impact to the Bush family? This is the calculation of the DuPont consortium.
Therefore, Hugh Grant did not have too many concerns about today's trial. He believed that if the trial was not favorable to Monsanto, then the next appeal would definitely be favorable to Monsanto. Because President Bush could not let himself fall into this vortex.
"President, what should we do now?" US Secretary of State Rice said worriedly. Rice was clear about Bush's predicament. This time, 'g23' pushed all the spearheads to the Air National Guard where Bush once served, which would bring trouble to Bush.
"Don't worry, I will be out of office soon. Although I served in the Air National Guard during the Vietnam War, this Air Force team once sprayed "Agent Orange", but it has nothing to do with me. They are just testing my relationship with Lin Feng. And I will be out of office soon, don't worry about them." Bush waved his hand, not caring about the DuPont consortium's test. Once he leaves office, he will not give global speeches like Clinton did. Once he leaves office, he will become a civilian and enjoy the normal life of an ordinary American citizen. So, he doesn't care about anything. As for whether this will bring trouble to the Bush family, Bush is not worried. The Bush family is not as ambitious about American politics as the Kennedy family or the Roosevelt family. The Bush family is just a coincidence. Bush Sr. and Bush Jr. successively served as presidents of the United States. This is just a coincidence. It just happens that two generations are keen on politics. But this does not mean that the Bush family will be like this.
Just like Bush, he only has two daughters, and neither of them cares about American politics. Therefore, the likelihood of the Bush family becoming president again is very slim. In this case, George W. Bush will naturally not care about this when he is about to leave office. And this is also a miscalculation of the Bush family by the DuPont consortium. Originally, the DuPont consortium thought that the Bush family would attach great importance to the family reputation, but unexpectedly, Bush did not care about this at all. He only has two daughters, and neither daughter is interested in entering politics. If this continues, the Bush family will gradually withdraw from politics. If that's the case, will he still care about the Bush family's status in American politics?
Court is in session!
"Your Honor, I have one of the most important witnesses here, and I hope to appear in court today. Please allow our witness to appear in court!" Ron implored.
"Allow the witness to appear!" the judge nodded. Regarding this lawsuit, the judge had no objections and almost unanimously sided with the 500,000 deformed children in Vietnam. They also hoped that Ron and the others would win, but they had some objections to the final compensation. After all, although they hope that the 500,000 deformed children in Vietnam will receive compensation, they do not want American companies to go bankrupt because of this. Therefore, the final outcome of this lawsuit is still unknown. No one knows how the jury will end up in the trial.
With the judge's permission, Lin Feng appeared in court. The court received a round of applause for Lin Feng's appearance. Most of the people listening here are on the side of the 500,000 deformed children. However, no one knows what the outcome will be until the court finally pronounces its verdict. After all, Monsanto is a powerful company, and the forces behind it are even more terrifying. How the court will ultimately pronounce its verdict is still unknown.
Under such circumstances, Lin Feng's appearance in court will naturally attract the attention of all parties.
"Mr. Lin, you have no direct interest in this lawsuit, so why are you willing to appear at the trial?" Ron asked.
"Your Honor, I object to the prosecution lawyer asking questions that have nothing to do with this case!" The defense lawyer immediately complained.
"Your Excellency, the fact that these 500,000 deformed children can appear here in this court hearing is related to Mr. Lin who is now appearing in the court. And Mr. Lin, in order to allow these 500,000 deformed children to appear in the court this time, It cost them hundreds of millions of dollars to seek justice for themselves. In this case, Mr. Lin had no interest in it, including the final profits. Why are you willing to spend so much money to have these Vietnamese children here? I believe this is something that everyone is interested in," Ron said loudly.
"Well, the witness must answer!" The judge nodded. The judge was also extremely curious about Lin Feng's appearance here. I just took this opportunity to ask Lin Feng.
"Your Honor, dear jury, this time I spent nearly 1 billion U.S. dollars to help these Vietnamese children seek justice. Although I have money, my money was not robbed from banks or printed with money. The reason why I do this is very simple. I am a righteous person. I think these Vietnamese children are so pitiful and their parents are so pitiful. Have they ever committed any sins? Why should they suffer such sins in this life? I think this is unfair, I think this is too unfair. But they are unable to do it. Seek justice for yourself, ask for an explanation, because they don’t have money to appeal. And I just have some spare money, so I am willing to make my due contribution to justice in this world. We have a saying in China, if people. If everyone gives a piece of love, this world will become a beautiful world. I hope that this world will be full of love and joy, and everyone can enjoy the beauty of life. So, I think it is my responsibility to stand up. Come out and seek justice for these children!" Lin Feng said loudly.
"So Mr. Lin, do you think this compensation amount is too much? You should know that even if you are rich, you cannot compensate such a huge amount!" Ron said loudly.
Lin Feng smiled slightly.
"Don't say it's me, I'm afraid no one on this planet can compensate. But this is not the reason why we refuse to compensate. Everyone must be responsible for the mistakes they have made, no matter what the cost, we must pay for our mistakes Bear everything. If we don’t have this concern and deny it just because the cost of compensation will make our lives difficult, what will the world become? I think, as a member of the human elite, we should set an example. No matter how big the price is, I believe that as long as I make a mistake, I should be brave enough to take responsibility!" Lin Feng said loudly, "If one day I do something wrong, The price is to let my 'second consortium' go bankrupt, and I have no complaints! Because I was wrong, then I must pay the price!"
Hugh Grant had a gloomy look on his face when he heard Lin Feng's words. **, you are adding insult to injury! To be continued…
