"A lot," Philip Bird subconsciously frowned, as if he also thought the problem was tricky. Of course, he would not hide anything in front of his political sponsors: "What I learned is that your opponent has convinced about 40 members of the House of Representatives, and the price they paid was only a favor."

Motorola and ibm actually don’t have to pay any substantial price. Just tell the members of the House of Representatives that they owe them a favor. What is a favor? Simply put, this time, you voted in favor of my proposal in this kind of matter that has nothing to do with your interests. Then when you need it, as long as it will not affect our interests, we will vote for you unconditionally.

Lin Zheng knew very well what this meant, so he immediately asked: "40 Representatives?"

"I can't rule out that there are still things I don't know."

The matter is even more serious than I thought. Lin Zheng frowned slightly. Currently, there are about 30 supporters on his side. 20 people have made it clear that they will abstain from the ruling, and only 50 people have found. There are 40 supporters, or more than 40 people. How many people have expressed their supporters but they do not support them but do not object?

"So, we are far behind our competitors?"

"In fact, not much." Philip Bird shrugged: "But if we don't quickly take some powerful means to get back on the situation, the situation will probably get worse."

“That is, we have to look for more allies?”

"I'm afraid this is the case, but the price we have to pay is too high." Philip Bird was still very considerate of his funder. He did not want his funder to be affected too much in finance because of this lawsuit. If such a situation occurs, it means that his funder can provide him with much less funds. For any politician, this is the worst news.

Very tricky, very tricky!

The news brought by Philip Bird was much worse than Lin Zheng had expected before. Lin Zheng stood up and walked slowly in the room. Philip Bird looked at him nervously. He was extremely eager to hope that his financial support could think of a solution to the problem. If anyone in the whole United States could hope that IQ could win more than Philip Bird, and hope that the "ICQ monopoly" proposed by the "Anti-United Alliance Technology Alliance" could not pass, it would probably be Philip Bird.

"No matter how big the price is, it is smaller than the price you pay for when you go into legal procedures!" Lin Zheng waved his hand vigorously and said to Philip Bird in an irrefutable tone: "Although no one can guarantee whether this lawsuit will go into legal procedures. But what we have to do is to try our best to prevent this lawsuit from entering legal procedures."

"Of course," Philip Bird nodded in agreement and said with deep emotion: "The most annoying thing about lawsuits."

Seeing this, many readers will be surprised that according to normal procedures, this lawsuit should not be like this. Just like Netscape sued Microsoft for monopoly in the past two years, the key to such anti-monopoly is that the victim company should first file a complaint with the Ministry of Justice. Then the Ministry of Justice will make a preliminary judgment based on the evidence provided by the victim company. When it is initially determined that the complained company is indeed suspected of monopoly, it will start to organize personnel to investigate the complained company. If the investigation results prove that the complained company does have monopoly behavior... this result is inevitable... Then the next step is that the Ministry of Justice filed a lawsuit with the federal court and finally entered the legal process?

Whoever thinks this way, I can only say one thing: Brother. You are so naive. Do you really think that the United States is a paradise on earth for cooking and freedom? Just like all business and political clashes, Kung Fu is done on the surface. When you see Netscape complaining to the Ministry of Justice about Microsoft's monopoly on the market, it actually means that the confrontation under the surface has come to an end.

Maybe when you see this, you still don’t understand what this has to do with the Senators, Representatives, the Senate, and the House of Representatives? You, Lin Zheng, are jumping around in the upper and lower houses of Americans. What are you trying to do?

Well, of course this has something to do. After the defendant is sued, if the final judgment is beneficial to Lianchuang Technology, then it is natural that it is something. But in fact, with the heel, I would know that such a result will never happen. At this time, IQ can appeal. After all, the parliament will vote. At this time, everyone understands the role of the parliamentarians? They are the final referees!

"Anti-Lianchuang Technology Alliance" means to tell Lianchuang Technology, don't struggle for me, I'll even handle the bastards in Congress. If you struggle, you have a yarn meaning? Be honest and give up on me, maybe I will spare your life with magnanimity;

Lianchuang Technology also wants to tell those guys who want to mess with themselves through activities in Congress: Sun Thief! Don’t bother me, I really think I’m easy to bully. Some of you are right, but you don’t know a few more people? There are more people, right? Come on, these are our people, if you have a genital, you can pull your people out and show off...

If there were more people gathering together on Lianchuang Technology, the "Anti-Lianchuang Technology Hurry" suddenly trembled when he saw it: Damn! Lin Zheng, the Sun Thief, actually called so many people? I seem to be unable to fight him. In this case, of course, this battle will not be possible.

We say it quite vulgar, but in fact it is just like this. Both sides are trying their best to recruit people in the Senate and the House of Representatives. The core purpose is to achieve the goal of "beating the enemy without fighting" and it takes money to sue. And the bigger the lawyer, the higher the lawyer fee. Without spending nine-digit lawyer fees, do you mean that you are fighting an antitrust lawsuit? I spit you!

But for those who pay money, who don’t feel sorry for spending hundreds of millions of dollars to lawyers? How good is this big money I spend myself? Why should I give it to lawyers? Not to mention that the money given to lawyers in this battle is just a small head, the hush fees for the media, the PR fees, and the benefits of those politicians who are open and waiting to ask for a piece of meat from you...

Once a lawsuit starts, there are too many places that cost money. Every day of this kind of antitrust lawsuit is equivalent to driving a large truck full of money into the sea...

So although everyone seems to spend a lot of money now, compared to an antitrust lawsuit that has lasted for several years and has lasted for a long-term expansion, these are all small money.

“So, for us, it’s imperative to find more allies?”

"Yes." Philip Bird said flatly: "If we can find more allies, this lawsuit will not be fought." After hesitating, Philip Bird made a suggestion: "Sir, I heard that you have a good relationship with Mr. Bill Ford? If we can get Mr. Ford's help, we will have a great chance of winning."

It is certainly a good idea to find Bill Ford to help, but Lin Zheng shook his head: "It's not the time to find Bill Ford."

Philip Bird's eyes were suddenly disappointed. In his opinion, if Bill Ford could be pulled to his side, you would mean that at least 2 senators and no less than 10 members of the House of Representatives would stand on his side, and if he paid some price to pull Ford's allies to his side, his winning chance would be 40%.

In such a big struggle, 40% of the chance of winning is already very high. But unfortunately, this Oriental man is a bit too stubborn.

"It is unwise to cooperate with Ford before the capital to bargain with them." Lin Zheng knew what Philip Bird was thinking, and he said bluntly.

Philip Bird was shocked and realized that he had made a very serious mistake: politicians do not make friends with each other. They always do exchanges of interests. Since it is exchange, the basis is the level where everyone is and the environment they face is almost the same. Now that their financial backers are in such a difficult situation, which politician will give up such a good opportunity to rob?

He doesn't think Ford will miss this good opportunity.

Philip Bird was smart and realized his mistake and immediately apologized to Lin Zheng.

After waved his hand, Lin Zheng signaled that he didn't mind. After taking two steps, he carefully considered and pondered, and then said: "If, I mean, if, if, if, if, if, if, no one discovered a crisis, how much help will it be to our current situation?"

"Crisis?" Philip Bird immediately widened his eyes. Based on the instinct of political creatures, he keenly realized that something that can be described by the word "crisis" would definitely not be a small matter. For politicians, what is a crisis? Crisis is their political capital! Aware of this, Philip Bird's breathing became rapid: "Sir, are you sure it is a 'crisis'?"

Philip Bird bit the word "crisis" very hard!

"I'm very sure." Lin Zheng nodded affirmatively.

Philip Bird became more and more excited. He rubbed his hands excitedly and whispered: "So, can you tell me what crisis is? How big is the scope?"

"Is it a food safety crisis? The scope... spreads to the world."

"God! God!" Philip Bird's heart was so excited that he couldn't stand it anymore. He pressed his hand on his chest and breathed rapidly twice: "You ask me to slow down first, slow down first... Okay, sir, you're sure you are talking about a food safety crisis that swept the world, right?"

"That's right."

“Including the United States?”

"Of course the United States includes."

“Never discovered before?”

"Yes, I can be sure."

"Then we sent it! I can swear to you that we will win! With this point alone, we can get the support of at least 20 senators!" (~^~)
