Chapter 2043
Not very good!
Unless he was said to be crazy, the judge would never think that the saying of kicking over the stage he had worked hard and then sending the enemy out of his encirclement would be a good idea.
Of course, it was impossible for him to admit that he had such an idea on the contrary. So after thinking for a while, he said seriously.
"Mr. Stark, this is a monopoly lawsuit initiated by the Los Angeles government, aiming to clarify whether Stark Group is suspected of causing monopoly in the United States. This is a matter of the United States' internal affairs and no one else can intervene. Not to mention that the nationality court will not accept such commercial cases. Even if it will accept such a type of case, it is not qualified to kick the US government in charge of this matter. Do you understand what I mean?"
It means that the judge of the US government wants to act rationally. But it is obvious that his acting skills are not yet enough to fool Frank.
Frank knew very well that although these people said it well, he actually did not want the situation to be beyond their control. He came to sabotage the situation, so naturally, he would not follow the wishes of these people.
"I don't understand. I just feel that this is full of unfairness to me, to Stark's family business. How do I know that you guys will not be biased? Just like you, Lord Judge. How can you convince me that you will make a fair judgment?"
Asking a judge in front of the court whether his position was fair, this was definitely a slap in the face. However, because Frank was a child, no matter how annoyed the judge was, he could not curse a little kid in front of so many people. That would only confirm that his butt was crooked, making him even less trustworthy. So he could only suppress the anger in his heart and said with a solemn look on his face.
"Mr. Stark, you should know that I have been a judge for more than thirty years. From the day I swore allegiance to American law to justice, I have never slacked off in this position. How many thirty years can I have in my life? Just because of this, you should have some trust in me."
"Come on, Mr. Judge. You once swore to support each other with your ex-wife and never left each other? As a result, you have been married three times so far. You can't even stick to the vows made by those who sleep around you. Do you still expect me to believe that you can uphold judicial justice? Unless I am a fool."
As a carefully selected figure by the US government, the judge's resume is indeed very dazzling. He has not made any mistakes in his work record in the past 30 years. Although it is indispensable for decoration and cover-up, it is also valuable.
This is also the experience that the restoration government has learned from past events. They can't stand the blow that the person who pushed himself to the front again was actually other forces invading their own internal spies.
The last time I played like this was that Hydra came to the surface and the entire U.S. Federation was almost collapsed. If it weren’t for the emergence of Stark, then the United States might have ceased to exist at that time.
This is a basic problem. On this issue, even Stark's enemies, they had to admit that Stark did a pretty job in this matter. They did not deny Stark's achievements in saving the United States, they just hated Stark's later means.
The key to making them stand against Stark on the opposite side of the forces of capital, gathering Congressional rights, strengthening the federal government, and weakening local governments.
If it weren't for this that they wanted to make Stark's rebellion. Do you really think they didn't know that Stark's ability and ability were not as good as they could? If it weren't for the infringement of their own interests, they would have wished that the boss on their heads was a tough character like Stark. Because anyone with discerning eyes knew that in this world of great struggle, only a strong boss could stabilize the interests of all of them.
Otherwise, if you are the ones, you really think you can stabilize a country on the verge of collapse? It would be great not to be eaten up by the surrounding forces like wolves and tigers, and be kept in the dark and enjoyed.
The restoration government is mostly the dirty politicians in the past, but this does not mean they are stupid. After experiencing ups and downs, they finally seized the opportunity after Stark's death, so they naturally took their prudence and caution to the extreme.
For example, when this judge was chosen, they were cautious and cautious without seeking merit but without mistakes. However, no one would have thought that Stark's perspective was so strange that he caught the blind spot that no one had ever paid attention to.
For Americans whose divorce rate is greater than 50%, it is actually not important to get divorced and get married several times. This is private privacy and personal freedom. Even if it is attacked by political enemies, they will not talk about it in this regard.
Who said that divorced in American society? Seeing his wife living in his house with her new love and forcing her children to call her father, but in the end he had to pay the mortgage by himself. If he really took a talk, he might be scolded like what he was.
However, the problem now is that you are not an ordinary politician. You are still a judge who represents legal justice and speaks about things with your own vows. The general public no longer cares if these two vows are the same. They only think that what Frank said makes sense. You even cheated your wife. Do you know if you would cheat a broken book?
Whether the people who preside over the law are fair, the perspectives of the lower class and the upper class are different. Even if the upper class has already made a fuss about it with all their hearts and hearts, I, the judge, have reached the limit and acted completely in accordance with the laws and regulations. The lower class will still look at you with a skeptical look, and then list several points that they think are unfair.
I don't want you to think, I want me to think. This is the relevant understanding of the law by the vast majority of civilians in the world. After all, even if you have studied and received higher education, can you still memorize all the legal regulations? So the vast majority of ordinary people's judgment on the so-called law is what I think.
I think you have a problem, you just have a problem. The more the upper class explains, the more they doubt it. This is a problem that any regime needs to avoid. Now Frank is taking advantage of this natural hostility of the lower class civilians towards the superstructure, and drags the rhythm to a deviation.
When the politicians realized this, they immediately cursed in their hearts. This is not an ordinary little devil, this is simply a cunning hooligan. It is worthy of being Stark's species!
Fortunately, they did not have any arrangements for this. With a command, all channels have switched to the pre-prepared performance scene. Characters such as jurors are also pretending to be blind, pretending to be blind. They do not put their eyes on the current lawsuit at all.
And a character like a judge also changed his face and became ferocious in an instant.
"Mr. Stark, no matter where I know my privacy. But now, no matter what you say, it will not change your current situation. If the government wants to investigate your company's monopoly, you can only cooperate. If you want to mess around here, you have found the wrong place!"
If it were an ordinary person, he would probably not have guessed what methods these politicians had played. But Frank is not an ordinary person after all, and no matter what changes happen on the Internet, he would have escaped his eyes.
He commented on a clumsy performance in his heart. But on the surface, he did not mean to expose all this, but pretended not to know and sang a drama against these politicians.
"It seems that I don't seem to have a choice, right? Then let us speed up each other and end the farce earlier. After all, our time is precious, right?"
Frank's words made people feel that he was fearless, but these politicians couldn't understand what he was relying on for a moment.
In this carefully arranged play, no matter how Frank prepares, even if he tied all the lawyers from all over the world to his camp, he would never be able to change the fate of Stark's company.
Because this is not a fair contest, it is a cheating that pulls the referees into their own camp.
Even football teams like South Korea can get fourth place in the World Cup by cheating. There is no reason to say that they can even take out such cheating methods, but they can't suppress a child.
Politicians felt that they were sure to win, and they didn't care about Frank's tricks at this time. So they were seeking a quick battle and decided immediately, and they immediately ordered to advance the farce.
"So Mr. Stark, do you acknowledge that your company's energy business has a monopoly in the energy market in the United States?"
"I don't admit it, I just think that my company's energy business has given the general public a cheaper option."
"I have several litigation from power companies here. They believe that your company's cheap energy has greatly disrupted the US electricity market, causing serious damage to their company's interests. Nerc's data also shows that when Stark companies are involved in the power field, 90% of the electricity supply in the market has been monopolized by Stark companies. This has constituted a monopoly fact and has caused serious interference to the competition in the power market. Do you have anything to say about this?"
"I have nothing to say. Anyone who has a little knowledge of technology should know that after the emergence of new energy, if you do not adapt to the times and make changes, you can only be completely crushed into powder by the wheels of the times and become the abandoners of the times. This is their fault that they cannot keep up with the times. If even this mistake is to be paid by the Stark family, it would be ridiculous."
The truth is this, but it is obviously impossible to say that. After all, they are now opposites. If they agree with this truth, how can they pry what they want from Stark? So after a dry cough, the judge said so.
"I understand what you mean, Mr. Stark. But you have to know that a healthy market must have a healthy competitive relationship to last for a long time. Regardless of whether the monopoly caused by Stark's enterprise on the energy market is your original intention, your behavior has already created a certain fact. From the perspective of maintaining social and energy market stability, we need you to make certain changes. Mr. Stark, I hope you can understand our difficulties."
"Of course, I can understand. I also feel it's time to make a change."
Frank smiled at this behavior of being a bitch and wanting to set up a archway, and he said his thoughts unreasonably.
"I have a suggestion, gentlemen. If you think that Stark's cheap products disrupt the normal market order, then we can change it. Starting tomorrow, Stark will increase the price of electricity supply and raise it to a level similar to other power companies. I believe that if this is the case, no one should say that we are disrupting the market order and eliminating the industry competitors."
This does solve the natural monopoly problem of Stark Group, but if it does, the US government that initiated the lawsuit will definitely be torn to pieces by the angry people.
No one wants to see their electricity bills rise dozens of times each quarter, even if their original electricity bills are at this level. This is just like people who are used to free lunches are unwilling to pay for lunch. If this happens, those who are forced to pay for money will definitely cause trouble for some people.
It is true that Stark's company is collecting money, but Stark can easily blame the government. For the newly restored government, if there is any public opinion turmoil at this time, it will be a fatal threat. Therefore, they cannot agree with Frank's proposal no matter what.
"This cannot solve the problem, Mr. Stark. The people will not agree that such a thing will happen..."
"So, let the power companies lower their own electricity prices and adjust them to the same level as Stark's. Isn't the problem solved?"
This is also a joke. Although the energy giants in the past are no longer able to do it now, they are still the parents of these politicians. It would be better to expect these politicians to ruin the jobs of those capitalists. This is an impossible thing to think about with an idea. So the judge could only say with a stiff face.
"Mr. Stark. This is a monopoly lawsuit against Stark's enterprise, not against others. The law does not allow us to harm the interests of innocent people because of a criminal. This is not a good solution!"
"A good way to solve the problem? Ha..."
Haha laughed and laughed at the judge's shameless words. Frank slowly said to him slowly as he watched his face turn into a pig's liver due to anger.
"So tell me, what do you think is a good solution to the problem?"
"Our solution is..."
Although he knew that his words were very shameless, he would inevitably be ridiculed by others. However, when he thought of the interests and rights represented by the group of people behind him, the judge still licked his face and said such words.
"The solution to the problem is that if Mr. Stark admits that Stark has formed a commercial monopoly, then according to the laws of this country, we have the right to require Stark to split its energy business under its name. This technology should not be in the hands of a company, it should belong to the general public. Only in this way can fair competition be ensured in the market."
"What a good idea!"
Hearing this, Frank showed an unexpected expression, and immediately clapped his applause enthusiastically. Of course, he could not just submit and sell his own interests, just to find compromise with a group of despicable guys. So he immediately said this.
