Chapter 611 Pretending to be asleep
Zhou Shuo stretched out his hand, and the colleague next to him quickly handed a document to his hand.
He held the document and said loudly: "This is the equity structure specification of Fanhan Group, among which the main shareholder Zhou Shuo is me. Fanhan Group is a private company with employee shares. Except for me, most of the shareholders are company employees. But this composition is not all. Our shareholders are Japanese, such as Mr. Masayoshi Son, the president of Japan SoftBank Group. There are also famous KPN Telecommunications Company in the Netherlands, Guanjie Group in the Baodao Region, the American Zlink Company, Liuer Investment Fund, and the famous Microsoft and Netscape Company..."
Zhou Shuo had known that Americans would attack this area, so of course the information was prepared without any leakage. A series of previously relative joint ventures have now transformed into a part of the Panhan Group.
For example, the R&D center, which was established in a joint venture with the Netherlands Telfort Company, was originally just a means to meet its development of localized applications. However, after Telfort Company was acquired by KPN, the degree of cooperation between the two parties deepened, and KPN actually invested more capital and R&D power in this R&D center.
The investment of both parties gradually increased, and the result was that when Fanhan Group included the R&D center into its own equity system, the amount of shares it occupied was really considerable.
Similar to Microsoft and Netscape, their shares in Liuer Software Company were temporarily "borrowed". Originally, they were just subsidiaries, or even capital of affiliated companies, but after being deceived, they became shares of Fanhan Group. From this point of view, Fanhan Group is really a bit like a multinational company.
"Our Panhan Group does not have any shares in the Chinese government and has never been led by the squadron. How about BAIC control? If any country's companies are widely used, they may be controlled by their countries. Then we may also have to worry about whether Ericsson is controlled by Denmark, whether Alcatel is controlled by France, or whether Intel is controlled by the US government?"
"We can guarantee that the Chinese government has not affected investment decisions, profit distribution and arrangement of military personnel in the daily operations of Panhan Group. The Chinese government and the military have no ownership rights and interests in Panhan Group, so of course it is impossible to be instructed by it. We only produce products that meet civil communication standards and are not engaged in the production of products used for military purposes."
"As mentioned above, although the business of Fanhan Group involves the Chinese government, important funds are raised by themselves through EOS and targeted financing. This means that the supplementary capital of Fanhan Group and the loans of commercial banks are determined based on the market environment and have not relied on any administrative force. Our Fanhan Group is an operating commercial institution, and this cannot be doubted."
Zhou Shuo looked around at the expressions of the members on the stage and finally said toughly.
"If the committee members have conclusive evidence that the Panhan Group has a project that cooperates with the squadron, then please take it out. Otherwise, it would be impossible to convince the public by just relying on the means of catching the wind and shadow."
“About specific evidence, it will be required to conduct a security assessment by the committee to provide protection to our informants.”
"But Panhan Group can provide internal operating information to the Commission of Inquiry to cooperate with the investigation of whether it poses a security threat to the U.S. telecommunications industry. Only if the internal operating information proves that it does not have unsafe technology, we can make a guilty judgment."
Zhou Shuo was stunned for a moment. He looked at the chairman incredibly, opened his mouth, and asked in surprise: "In other words, does the committee adopt the presumption of guilt for the Fanhan Group? We cannot prove that we are innocent. Is it guilty?"
The chairman coughed dryly and said awkwardly: "Ahem, we now have evidence that it is unfavorable to the Panhan Group."
"Then take it out!"
"In order to protect informants, we cannot disclose evidence..."
"Then how do I know your evidence and how effective is it?"
"We have reason to believe that the technology used by Fanhan Group has infringed upon Cisco." The chairman changed the topic and raised another topic. He said coldly: "Cisco is the pioneer of Internet network equipment, but the technology used by Fanhan Group has never been authorized. Is this alone enough to show that Fanhan Group is accustomed to illegal activities and it is not impossible to deliberately leave a backdoor in the system!"
"We have infringed on Cisco's technical patent rights?" Zhou Shuo was stunned for a moment, and then said proudly: "Fanhan Group has long announced the source code of its network equipment. In the competition in the world market, our Fanhan Group's products have been successful with excellent performance. In short, Cisco may have started earlier on this road, but we are the ones who are leading it."
"The online products of Fanhan Group are at least ten years more than Cisco. If we really infringe on Cisco's patents, then please ask them to file a lawsuit with any court in the world. As for the same sentence, if there is any evidence, please feel free to take it out and go to court with us. But I want to explain one thing first-"
Zhou Shuo smiled confidently: "In fact, it's not something new, but a recognized common sense in the network equipment industry. That is, the network equipment of our Panhan Group, the same functional program size is only one-tenth of that of Cisco. In other words, if Cisco has ten million lines of programs, we only need one million lines to complete it."
"In the face of such a gap, I really don't know why Cisco has the face to think that we have infringed their patented technology."
Zhou Shuo sneered in his heart that many of the programs of his own network equipment were developed by him personally. Not to mention the Cisco's technical level in 2001, even Cisco in 2014, he dared not say that it is more advanced than his program in terms of technology. The gap of ten years has caused the boss of network equipment to be in a difficult situation now.
His step-by-step questioning made the chairman look a little embarrassed. Zhou Shuo had already figured out their pulse since he insisted on releasing the evidence and temporarily shifted the topic. It was definitely not that there were insiders within the Fanhan Group or in the project, but that it should be that some Americans had a far-fetched explanation after getting clues.
After getting rid of this thorn in my heart, the counterattack was of course extremely sharp.
At this moment, a piece of printing paper was heard from a member of the committee and handed to the chairman. He was forced to the corner of the wall by Zhou Shuo. When he got the paper, he breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly became clear.
"Panhan Group claims that its decisions have never been affected by the Chinese government, so I have a document here, "
The chairman's eyes shone and his spirits were full of energy and asked Zhou Shuo condescendingly: "Why does Fanhan Group have a party committee organization as a private enterprise? How many members of your party committee organization have? Are they involved in company decisions?"
Zhou Shuo was silent, which made the chairman think that he had grabbed the fatal point of Fanhan Group and laughed even more proudly. He leaned against the back of the chair and sneered.
"As we all know,,, can you still say that the Panhan Group is not manipulated by the Chinese government?"
Zhou Shuo sighed and shook his head, "This is the Chairman's lack of understanding of China's national conditions. The Chinese Company Law stipulates that any company with more than three party members must establish a party committee. Not only Panhan Group, but even Walmart, Microsoft, ibm and other companies are also organized by party committees. However, the party committees in these companies mainly provide employee care and urge employees to abide by professional ethics, and never participate in corporate management and decision-making."
The chairman said in a negative test: "They are Chinese foreign-funded enterprises, and the leadership of the enterprises is all American, so the party committee organization certainly cannot play a role. But you are Chinese enterprises, and it is hard to say whether the party committee is like a foreign-funded enterprise."
"There are thousands of private enterprises organized by the Party Committee in China, and there has never been any incident where the Party organizations interfere in the business operations..."
"We don't think China has a mature and fair complaint system. Maybe this happened, but business owners have no idea, or they simply dare not assert their own power?"
...
There is an old Chinese saying that you can never wake up a person who pretends to be asleep unless you set fire to his house.
Anyway, Zhou Shuo was not a British in the 18th century, so it was definitely impossible to burn the US Capitol. So what can I do when facing the intelligence committee that insisted on pretending to be stupid?
The chairman took the point that the Panhan Group established a party committee organization. This time, no matter how Zhou Shuo defended it, he pretended to be stupid and had to build it into a relationship with the Chinese government.
As a Chinese company, Zhou Shuo could not openly violate the company law and dissolve the party committee organization in the company. Therefore, when one crime after another was thrown over, he fell into a state of indisputability.
Dangdang——
The chairman once again rang the small wooden hammer in his hand, and looked at Zhou Shuo who was still fighting below with fun, saying, "Although Fanhan Group is a private company, it has a lot of contact with the Chinese government during its operation, and may not be able to meet the US's review of security concerns."
"During the investigation, the committee received testimony from industry experts and current and former employees of Panhan Group, which may have violated US law. Regarding these allegations, the House Intelligence Committee believes that this is a company that does not comply with US law and international business standards. We will hand over the allegations that may violate US law to the judicial department for handling in accordance with the law."
