Huang Xuan walked into the laboratory and first dialed Annabel's phone number. The family lawyer was not familiar with American law, and Annabel was the only American lawyer he knew.
It has to be said that Huang Xuan was a little nervous at the moment - just a little bit. During the dialing process, he quietly thought: I don't know why Bruce is looking for him, black money? My funds have increased several times in a short period of time, but if I really want to check, how many countries will be involved? Buyers from China, Brazil, the United States, Switzerland, but also Japan and Greece…
artwork? Even if the FBI was among the people who came that day, there would be no time to collect evidence to catch him, let alone the one at the door.
Most likely, Mr. Bruce just wanted to see his recipe. But regardless of whether there is evidence or not, the FBI has no right to arrest him. If violence is used, it must be stronger than the base. Thinking of this, Huang Xuan shook his head again. It was too late to say anything now. Both sides had already drawn their guns. Thinking about it, even the FBI had no interest in him at first, but now it is very interested.
Annabel was dealing with the loan mortgage issue in China, but after taking the call from Huang Xuan, she comforted Huang Xuan and said: "BOSS, it's okay, the FBI will keep an eye on every foreigner who comes to the United States. In their eyes, In addition to the director, including the president, everyone is suspected. OK, first defuse the confrontation, let alone shoot. If you know a big shot, you can give him a call. It is no longer Hoover (the first FBI). Director) era, the FBI will not mess around.”
It seemed that Annabell was thinking further than him. Huang Xuan calmed down and said, "Anna." He was used to calling Annabell this way, "Maybe you know a famous lawyer. I need one now."
"This is a good idea." In fact, Annabel is not familiar with the Department of Justice (the FBI is a department under the Department of Justice). She is more dealing with the Ministry of Finance. Compared with people in the economic circle, the FBI obviously prefers lawyers. That set, not friendship and relationship. Annabel took out her PDA and flipped through it for a while, then said: "BOSS, I will notify the law firm immediately and they will handle this matter for you."
"OK." Huang Xuan calmed down and walked out of the room. Putting away the phone, Steele had already rushed over, along with two serious-looking directors.
"Bruce, what's the matter?" Steele seemed to know him.
"I want to see the paper in this gentleman's hand." Bruce said matter-of-factly.
Huang Xuan just walked out of the door at this moment, nodded to Steele, and asked: "Do you have this right? Without my permission."
of course not. Lorraine has long given this answer, especially for wealthy people.
Steele smiled apologetically at Huang Xuan, turned to Bruce with a livid face, and said, "Mr. Nande, whose order did you receive? And face my guests with a gun."
"I doubt… "
"Just suspicion?" Steele interrupted Bruce.
Bruce was in a dilemma at the moment. When Ginger was talking to Director Pierce, he happened to be outside the door and only heard part of it. He was eager to earn some credit. In the FBI, it is difficult for expatriates to get promotion opportunities.
The two Pfizer directors also had livid faces. The director standing further back said loudly: "Why don't you put down the gun?"
In the political ecology of the United States, "officials" and "businessmen" have broken down the wall and become one. Large enterprises, companies, and banks can be said to have generals and ministers, hidden dragons and tigers. From afar, Eisenhower liked to deal with industrial giants the most. His cabinet was jokingly called "eight millionaires and a plumber", and among them, three people came from General Motors: the new Secretary of Defense Charles V. Wilson was in charge Pentagon, Postal Service Secretary Summerfield, Interior Secretary Douglas V. McKay. Bush Sr. also likes business people, while Clinton prefers academics. When it comes to Bush Jr., he prefers professional politicians who can help win the election.
Of course, Bruce would not think so much in an instant, but he understood that no matter whether Steele and the two directors in front of him had the ability to enter the cabinet, they were all people who could talk to the White House and the bureaucrats in the cabinet. They are inextricably linked to each other, and he is also a figure who can be on an equal footing with the FBI. With his head a little clearer, the man in the suit slowly lowered the muzzle of his gun and said dryly: "It's probably just a misunderstanding."
"Then you can go back to your post now." After Steele said this, he smiled apologetically at Huang Xuan and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Huang..."
Huang Xuan seemed to accept Steele's apology, while Bruce stood on the other side of the corridor with his neck slightly turned. Isaac was much taller than him, and it was very painful to look at each other for a long time.
Back in the laboratory, Lorraine quickly reported: "Bruce called his boss, a guy named Clay. They should be checking you."
"Let them investigate." Huang Xuan snorted. The Huang Foundation was in deep trouble. How could the FBI get in? If they approached the CIA, they might be able to find out something. Not to mention, the accounts in question were still hanging with the foundation, and the money for the new loan was mortgaged with jewelry. Lorraine had paid attention to it before bringing it back. None of them ended up being stolen. Finally, he said Where is it, it’s not the collection of Lao Huang’s family? Do all those anonymous collectors still have to be arrested? The non-operating assets worth hundreds of millions of dollars cannot be explained clearly with words.
"Let's continue making things." Huang Xuan said without stopping: "The equipment here cannot purify it to seven nines. Can we use energy to purify it?"
"This consumes a lot of energy..."
"Wait a while and they won't let you use it. Let alone purified energy, everything has to be energy." Huang Xuan called Rose and said, "Give me that ultra-pure medicine first."
Ross said "Yes" and went to get it. He didn't want to stay in this dangerous place for a moment. Peter didn't dare to leave and still stayed near the instrument, ready to correct Huang Xuan's wrong operation at any time.
Isaac walked over with heavy steps and said in stiff English: "BOSS, I'm sorry..."
"What are you talking about?" Huang Xuan waved his hand and said, "You did a good job. Go back and tell your boss that I will double the money for this trip. You just need to guard the laboratory now."
"Then I'll call someone again." Isaac replied somewhat honestly, and actually made the call.
Israel has been in a state of war for a long time and has the largest number of mercenaries all over the world. IZO is the most famous mercenary export agency in the country. In the Philippines, the United States, and West Africa, IZO is quite popular, and many rich people have IZO-trained soldiers. Private army, so two hours after Isaac's call, the sound of helicopter propellers sounded in the sky.
Huang Xuan's main focus is still on medicine. Although he can't help Lorraine much, he can still do it by asking a few people to help and paying attention to the message at all times. By the time Isaac's reinforcements arrived, there were already seven or eight people in the small laboratory.
Lorraine's ability to allocate tasks is superb - this is the strength of Zhi Nao. Physical work and repetitive labor are handed over to Peter and others, while he guides Huang Xuan in the connection and synthesis of each step. Pharmaceutical production itself is extremely complex, but if the goal is only laboratory drugs, that is, only enough for a few people, it is completely different.
Generally speaking, drugs produced in the world today rarely contain more than five ingredients, because once there are more than five, pharmaceutical companies must strictly list at least three of the active ingredients and their relationships with each other. As you can imagine, If there are more than ten or more components, even Pfizer cannot afford such research and development expenses. But on the other hand, it is simple to make a drug with more than a dozen components. This is also the reason why many famous special medicines in traditional Chinese medicine can never become proprietary Chinese medicines - except for classic prescriptions.
The work Lorraine is doing now is a simple chemical combination. Except for using various advanced instruments and improving the purity, its principles are no different from the organic chemistry experiments done by students.
Seeing that the sky was getting darker, the researchers around him were also replaced by coolies who looked like students. Huang Xuan carefully took out the 1-β-D-ribofuranose from the incubator to adjust the volume. Laboratory work is actually about being careful and working hard. After the test plan is determined From now on, the process of doing experiments will be no different than moving bricks under the ceiling. So except for some technical issues, Huang Xuan did the rest of the work himself.
There was a sudden noise at the door. A bodyguard was holding a gun to open the door, but the door was suddenly knocked open.
The rubber material near the door lock suddenly burst open, and one piece happened to fly to Huang Xuan's hand. Although it was blocked by Lorraine with energy, an extra drop of the medicine in the dropper dripped in. Even Huang Xuan, who has not had time to go to high school, understands that when using a volumetric flask to determine the volume, if an extra drop of medicine is added, the whole bottle must be poured out and redone.
Seeing that his hard work for just half an hour was in vain, Huang Xuan was filled with anger. No matter how much he has experienced, he is still a 16-year-old boy. A few months ago, he was one of the playboys of his clan. What's more, he has only experienced a few real trips. He watched a bottle of potion in his hand become scrapped. , it was like knocking down the building blocks that a child was about to show off, and Huang Xuan's eyes immediately turned red.
Anyone who is familiar with the Huang family knows that it is better not to mess with the red-eyed Xiao Liu.
Huang Xuan raised his head and saw FBI Connecticut Captain Clay, Bruce's boss, walking in with his collar straightened. Connecticut is the traditional territory of the FBI. Here, they are the highest judicial authority. When he discovered that a Chinese billionaire with a monthly income of over 100 million came here, Clay felt that there was an opportunity for a salary increase.
Bruce was at the end, dodging. There were three people standing in front of IZO who was kicked over. One of them, a slightly fat guy, had already pulled out a gun and reached out to show his ID. This was slightly against the rules, but the FBI's Regulations are never more serious than slices of meat (an FBI joke).
Seeing Bruce again, Huang Xuan became even more angry. He snorted, threw the volumetric flask in his hand, kicked it out, and hit the guy with the gun in the chest, knocking him down. On the threshold.
Huang Xuan's physical fitness was originally only slightly better than ordinary people, but at this time the FBI's attention was focused on Isaac and other IZOs. Huang Xuan was young and close to the door, so the sneak attack was successful.
As soon as he succeeded, he picked up an analytical balance next to him and hit the leader Clay on the face. The analytical balance was a large precision weighing device that looked like a clock. It had a decent mass and size. It hit someone on the head with a heavy blow. On the floor, messy weights were scattered all over the floor, but the wooden frame outside the balance was still intact, but the iron weight below smashed into the balance, making the balance and someone's nose useless.
Huang Xuan was half a head shorter than Clay, and it was impossible to hit him on the top of the head at that time, but seeing the gentleman holding the bridge of his nose and bleeding profusely from his nose was really painful, and he felt pity for him, so he simply gave him another kick on the face. , hoping that coma can completely resolve his pain, and accidentally, the nose may have been completely resolved.
At the same time, Isaac reacted very quickly. He was an Israeli soldier who had actually fought in the war. He did not draw a gun like an FBI man at all. He kicked up a chair at his feet and rushed forward. He first killed the eager Huang. Xuan La was behind him.
There was a "ping ping" sound of opening the safety, and IZO, who was originally on the other side of the corridor, also rushed over with a gun.
Huang Xuan hid in the laboratory and quickly hung up the phone to Aubrey and Annabel, briefly telling them what had just happened. Both of them were shocked.
In the United States, although there are as many as eight national police organizations, due to historical reasons, the FBI, which is under the jurisdiction of the Department of Justice, has almost become the real American police. They once flourished in every territory here. Compared with the state police, They are more like the Chinese Ministry of Public Security.
Just look at the current performance of the IZO crowd and you will know that even though the employer is the largest, when the FBI revealed their identity, Isaac still had to put away his gun and smiled apologetically and awkwardly at Huang Xuan. Huang Xuan can understand that IZO has too much business in the United States. If they go against the FBI, the US market will be equivalent to giving up.
Clay stood in front with grinning teeth, pretending to be like a foreign-style New Year painting. Huang Xuan's kicks prevented him from having a stuffy nose when he had a cold in the future. However, someone kicked him again, causing his lips and eye sockets to become crooked. In the FBI, which pays attention to appearance, this gentleman's future was completely ruined. Several guys holding "Olin" shotguns stood behind Clay, their eyes wide open, and they were likely to accidentally fire.
The researchers were hiding in the laboratory and did not dare to come out. Steele had disappeared from the scene, but it was not known whether he had gone back or was inconvenient to show up.
Clay was talking convulsively. His deputy Harry saw that the IZOs had put away their guns, and he also put his pistol in his holster and said: "Mr. Huang Xuan, you have caused big trouble. It seems that you have to go back with us." trip."
He was so polite not only because Huang Xuan was surrounded by bodyguards, but also because he had read Huang Xuan's information and was more cautious than Bruce, who had unknown circumstances. This is America, the America of capital, the America of the rich.
"Do you want me to notify the embassy?" It was Isaac who spoke.
Huang Xuan shook his head slightly. He thought more than Isaac. Now that grandpa is unconscious, the Huang family is controlled by grandpa. Although he will most likely not be rejected for asking for help, will this become a problem instead? No one can tell what the reason is - if this is a normal embassy procedure, then we should take a look before talking about it.
On the other hand, pointing a gun at the FBI was not a crime at all. When he was kicking Clay, all he could think about was kicking this guy to death. The only remaining feeling was that they didn't reveal their identities and the labs were all gated. , thinking of this, he quietly said to Lorraine: "Make a copy of the video about us in this laboratory."
Raising his head slightly, Huang Xuan looked at Harry sideways and said, "I am not your great American citizen. What qualifications do you have to take me back..."
"I suspect you may be involved in espionage and organized crime..."
"Mr. Huang is a distinguished guest invited by Mr. Steele, and the laboratory where he works does not have any prohibited information or materials. What evidence do you have to make such a judgment?" This time the speaker was a man carrying a small black leather jacket. A tall, lanky old man with his shirt tied at the top button and his hair neatly combed inside the box. He and an assistant walked sideways through the layers of FBI interceptions. They came over covered in sweat, took out their IDs and said : "Gilbert, Waring Law Firm. Mr. Huang's attorney."
Harry licked his dry lips, and there was a thin layer of sweat on his head, like a woodchuck that had just woken up. He recognized this famous wizened old man without signing up. He looked at Clay again but didn't reply. Gilbert is a well-known super lawyer in the United States, not only because of his fees, but also because of his winning rate. This New Englander from Manhattan specializes in litigating cases for major financial groups and is a headache for major government agencies, especially the Department of Justice. When he arrived, if he tried to do anything outside the rules, he would be asking for trouble.
Gilbert seemed not to have seen him and said, "Is anyone injured? Did someone shoot?"
"Of course." Clay, the victim, breathed through half of his swollen mouth.
Gilbert curled his lips and said, "Are you injured?"
Clay stared angrily, but couldn't say anything. Harry immediately stood up and said a lot of things, nothing more than suspicion. Gilbert took the opportunity to walk to Huang Xuan, and seeing that his expression was as usual, he asked in a low voice : "Are you okay? Annabelle said you need a lawyer."
"Thank you." Huang Xuan had never heard of Gilbert's name, but he relaxed a little and said, "I didn't know they were the FBI." Huang Xuan didn't even blink when he said this. He did not see the other party's ID.
Gilbert nodded with a cold face, expressionless. When Harry talked about Clay's injury, Gilbert interrupted him and said, "Has anyone seen that my client did it?"
"Everyone has seen it," Harry said, pointing to the camera above his head.
Gilbert turned to look at Huang Xuan and saw him nodding slightly, so he asked in a different way: "Did you reveal your identity when you entered?"
"We yelled the FBI before we walked in the door."
"But you said the door was opened by you." Gilbert asked keenly.
Harry said nonchalantly: "We have the right to do this."
"We will discuss whether you have this right later." Gilbert said in a sharp tone: "But before you broke the door open, my client didn't know your identity, right?"
"I told you, before we hit the door, we already yelled for the FBI. The bodyguards at the door also heard it." Harry retorted loudly.
Gilbert snorted and said immediately: "But the door is soundproof."
Harry was a little dazed, and when Gilbert was about to continue speaking, Clay's cell phone rang.
The leaker looked at the number and had to take two steps back before answering: "Hi, Director."
Malcolm's breathy voice echoed in the corridor: "Senator Melvin told me that my people did some idiotic things in Connecticut. Tell me what you did."
In the United States, senators are the most powerful group. In the federal government, they fight against the White House in chambers, and various committees are a concrete manifestation of their power. On the other hand, due to legal provisions, each state can only have two senators, and they must be residents of the state, which determines that senators should and must have the greatest influence on state affairs. Governors and senators are the only path to becoming president. There are about two senators that Chinese people are most familiar with. Massachusetts Senator John Kerry, who ran against George W. Bush for president, has been a senator for almost 20 years since 1984. He can be said to be an old senator. The other is the infamous McCarthy—during the noisy era of McCarthyism, this senator was in every possible way. He was the most powerful person in the entire United States, the most powerful person, and the president was second.
In terms of power and status, the senators are naturally inferior to China's Politburo members, but if we discuss broader influence, it is difficult to judge.
As for the relationship between the FBI and the senators, it is even more tortuous. To put it more simply, the bills introduced or passed by senators determine what the FBI can and cannot do. Likewise, their bills determine how much funding the FBI has. Finally, the FBI director is appointed by the president and approved by the Senate—usually always Passed, but the director's term is 10 years, while the president's term is only 8 years.
It is certain that in the United States, even the ministers of departments such as the Treasury and even the Department of Justice have no more power than the most powerful senator, while the power of the secretary of labor is likely to be less than that of the least powerful senator.
Of course, this kind of judgment cannot be inferred. The status of the FBI director under the Ministry of Justice is lower than that of the senators, but there is no doubt that the power of any senator must be higher than that of Clay.
Clay's leaky mouth was surprisingly slow in explaining the problem. Just when Harry was about to take over the task, he heard Malcolm's nasal voice again: "Speaker Nancy's call, we'll talk about this later."
Harry coughed slightly and retracted his hand in embarrassment.
Gilbert secretly said to Huang Xuan: "Do you know Senator Melvin?"
"Maybe Aubrey, well, I have some business dealings with Citigroup."
"I heard what Annabel said. It seems that you have a lot of capital transactions." Gilbert laughed "haha" twice. Welin Law Firm is a partnership system, and Annabel belongs to another partner. Firm, working for Citigroup.
Huang Xuan also realized at this time that he had just prepared to borrow 100 million U.S. dollars from Citigroup, which is equivalent to paying Citigroup 100 million U.S. dollars in interest every year. Plus 100 million U.S. dollars in bond management and more than 100 million U.S. dollars in asset management, Citigroup can at least annually Earned $150 million from him—is there any closer collaboration than this
When Clay heard the sound from the phone again, Malcolm's voice had become much quieter. Of course, Lorraine would tell Huang Xuan everything, and he would feel relieved after only listening to half of it.
Gilbert, on the other hand, had already put away his "equipment" and was ready to go home. There is a senator and a speaker of the House of Representatives who guarantee that unless it is a certain issue, everything else can be uncovered, not to mention that in front of them are just a few stupid FBI agents who are crazy about committing crimes.
It was easy to see that Mr. Clay looked very unhappy when he hung up the phone, and his eyes were bleeding again.
"You can leave." Clay said angrily.
"Head." Several detectives shouted.
Huang Xuan wiped his middle finger on his lips and said, "I'm sorry, it's you who should go." After saying that, he no longer looked at the faces of the FBI people who were darker than guns, and shook hands with Gilbert with a smile. Said: "Excuse me, I will take you out."
Gilbert looked very thin, but his face was still very moist. He handed the bag to his assistant and said with a smile: "You're welcome, I charge a fee."
Huang Xuan likes the American "business is business" spirit, which is very similar to Zhang Xinyi.
Isaac pushed away the FBI who was still holding the shotgun. The bodyguard could not directly conflict with the government, but if it was with a government employee, there would be no problem.
Harry shouted from behind: "I'll keep an eye on you."
Huang Xuan simply ignored it—it’s better to go back and see your disfigured boss, and don’t follow a bad example.
There is a small cessna business jet parked at the central airport. It looks like it can seat 10 people. Huang Xuan was slightly surprised and said to Gilbert: "You came by business jet? No wonder it was so fast." Kangzhou and New York is adjacent, but not part of Greater New York.
"You took a helicopter from Manhattan and then transferred." Gilbert smiled and said, "The firm is worried that you are not familiar with the laws here and may cause problems."
He said this euphemistically. According to the thoughts of Welin's senior partners, they were basically worried that Huang Xuan, a son of a senior Chinese cadre, would use Chinese methods to deal with problems. Although they did not understand how China dealt with such problems, In America, which preaches freedom and law, any different approach is probably a bad approach.
Huang Xuan was just surprised by Gilbert's means of transportation. He also got a taste of helicopters in Brazil. Thinking about it, Gilbert should have received the news when the first conflict occurred. Calculated this way, it took only three hours, which can be called amazing speed.
