Reborn in 2000 as a scholar

"Of course I have no problem.-" Lin Jinqi was worried that he had no place to speak.Although under the promotion of Lin Jinqi, social media such as Twitter and Facebook have begun to appear in North America, but they have not yet formed a mainstream; and his latest product, "Huffington Post" is still under development, and there is no future "Internet". First Report" posture.It can be said that the current mainstream public opinion is still controlled by the traditional media headed by TV stations.A gold medal anchor on a TV station or radio station, or an ace columnist on a newspaper or magazine can almost single-handedly lift a celebrity to the sky and then fall to the [-]th floor of hell.At this time, Lin Jinqi happened to be the thorn in the side of these anchors and writers, wishing to use his mouth or pen to send Lin Jinqi to Satan to confess.

"Catherine, didn't our friends in the White House and Capitol Hill ask you to bring me anything?" Lin Jinqi asked sarcastically.

Catherine's complexion is a little ugly. Although her consulting company is headquartered in Los Angeles, it also has offices in important cities such as Washington, DC.In particular, the office in Washington, D.C. is basically considered the headquarters of the branch, and Lin Jinqi's political donations are also made through Catherine.Lin Jinqi is not particularly opposed to the political donation system in the United States. After all, problems that can be solved with money are really not problems.Lin Jinqi’s donation budget to Catherine is very large. Therefore, in addition to supporting the Democratic Party based on the attributes of Lin Jinqi’s industry, he also donated political donations to some moderate Republicans because the current president is a Republican.

Because of Lin Jinqi's generosity, Catherine was once the most popular person at the fundraising party of American politicians.But now that Lin Jinqi is in a crisis, those politicians who have repeatedly stated that Lin Jinqi is their friend and warmly invited Lin Jinqi to their home for a dinner party have disappeared, and many people are even unwilling to answer Catherine's phone calls.

"I understand that some people keep silent because they worry about implicating themselves, but what I never expected is that the Democratic Party, which I donate 3000 million political donations every year, is the one who caused this trouble!" Lin Jinqi sneered and handed over a thick The file was thrown on the desktop, "My dog ​​has not protected me, which makes me very depressed, and now it dares to bite me as the owner! Catherine, I think you have to give a reasonable explanation for your work!" This is America and I'm a billionaire!"

In many cases, what Lin Jinqi showed was the elegance and modesty of an elite intellectual, so that many people forgot the wealth that Lin Jinqi held in his hands.Although most of Lin Jinqi's assets are lurking below the surface, just one asset of Regulus Laboratory is enough for Lin Jinqi to appear on the "Forbes Global Rich List".As one of the top ten high-tech private companies in the world announced by Fortune magazine, Regulus Labs is valued at around US$80 billion.As the holder of more than 30% of Regulus' shares, Lin Jinqi's basic net worth is around 30 billion US dollars.However, according to Forbes' survey, Lin Jinqi's other company, Horizon Network Technology, is also quite active in the North American market.The main products of Horizon Network Technology Company currently include YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Huffpost, etc. Among them, the valuation of YouTube is about [-] billion US dollars, but there are many investors in YouTube, and Horizon Network only accounts for [-]% of the shares. and other products are still in the process of burning money, so the valuation of Horizon Network is only about [-] billion US dollars.

But despite this, Lin Jinqi is the sole shareholder of Horizon Network, so Lin Jinqi's worth has already exceeded 100 billion US dollars.Therefore, he not only dominated the "Forbes" Global Rich List's "Rich List Under 40" and "Rich List Under 30" two sub-lists, but also the top 20 of the main list.In the United States, there is a basic consensus that "don't offend the rich", and Lin Jinqi is actually a billionaire.

Catherine looked at the documents provided by Lin Jinqi, and after reading half of them, she turned pale.She didn't know how Lin Jinqi obtained these internal documents of the Democratic Party that should have been kept absolutely confidential, but she knew that Lin Jinqi was already very dissatisfied with her job.Catherine was not worried that Lin Jinqi would kill herself. After all, no billionaire would be willing to die with a senior white-collar worker with an annual salary of less than 30 US dollars.However, as long as Lin Jinqi reveals such a little bit of thought, people who want to kill him can crowd the Golden Gate Bridge.Maybe, after returning home tonight, I won’t be able to see the sun tomorrow, and my husband and children can only search for my body at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean?Thinking of this, Catherine no longer knew what to say.She originally came in as a savior, but now she realizes that she is the one who needs to be saved the most.

The two lawyers who have been reading these materials in silence saw a trace of surprise in each other's eyes. Although the internal documents of the Democratic Party are not protected by law, it is definitely not so easy to get such documents from the Democratic Party headquarters. .

Both Tom and Jerry graduated from Harvard Law School, but the more honest Tom chose to enter a large law firm, and then slowly worked his qualifications to become the junior partner of the law firm's Los Angeles office; Jerry chose to start his own business independently. After more than ten years of hard work, the law firm he founded has become one of the well-known medium-sized law firms in Los Angeles, and he is the only name of this law firm. partner.Tom's law firm was hired by Lin Jinqi's company as a legal consultant, so Tom came here to help with affairs; but Jerry has always been Lin Jinqi's private lawyer in the United States. Even before Lin Jinqi came to the United States, many American affairs were handled by Jerry did it.

Compared with Catherine's self-righteousness, Jerry's understanding of Lin Jinqi is much deeper.Although Lin Jinqi may wander in the gray area of ​​American justice in some matters, Jerry doesn't think it's a big deal. If everyone obeyed the law, the United States would have long been a paradise on earth.And the richer the American class, the lower their respect for American laws.

For example, in terms of paying taxes according to the law, the personal income tax rate of the general middle class in the United States is about 45%, which means that about half of the wealth of the middle class needs to be taxed.But what about America's wealthy?The average tax rate is only 22%.That is to say, Bill Gates' annual personal tax may not be as good as a middle class with a little spare money.Did the IRS go after him?It's a pity that Gates has a larger team of lawyers who can ward off disasters for himself.Therefore, in Jerry's view, Lin Jinqi's trouble is not trouble at all.Now being so hyped by the media seems a little abnormal, so Lin Jinqi became the last victim instead.

"I don't want to pursue the past, but I hope that when I fight back, you can pull a few friends to stand behind me." Lin Jinqi said coldly to Catherine, "If you can't do this, I will I think I can only hire another Gao Ming."

"Don't worry, Dr. Lin, I guarantee that from tomorrow onwards, the direction of media reports will change." Catherine said awkwardly.Of course, she also has her own trump card in her hand, but she originally thought that Lin Jinqi was not worth using her trump card.

After meeting with lawyers and public relations, Lin Jinqi went to NBC's studio to prepare to record a new issue of "Last Notice".As Catherine said, Lida, the host of the show, did have a certain liking for her, and Lin Jinqi was finally able to clarify her views and positions.

He first stated that he is only a passive beneficiary, and at the same time he is only the designer of the anti-theft system, and he cannot know how the anti-theft system works in the end.Secondly, he also showed Smart's internal monitoring process. After a SmartPhone or SmartPad is legally activated, the ultimate management right of this device is handed over to the user.Users can decide whether to enable anti-theft and location, and Smart will not save these data.Lin Jinqi finally said that if users still have doubts about this, then Smart will order a new version without anti-theft and positioning in the future.

In fact, Lin Jinqi does not have much confidence in the public relations of this crisis. To put it bluntly, which Internet companies such as Apple, Google, and Facebook in the future have not leaked their privacy?As a result, the media scolded a few words, users uninstalled it for a few days, and then the world was peaceful again.In fact, users are not fools, so how can there be a function that not only protects their privacy but also remotely prevents theft?As for not wanting this function, it would be even more foolish. What if such an expensive mobile phone is dropped?

In fact, as long as the user wants to understand, this matter will pass.But the problem is that some people are taking the rhythm now, and people are creatures that cannot think rationally when they are in a state of frenzy.If the Democratic Party continues to play, then Lin Jinqi's products will really have to withdraw from the North American market.

But what Lin Jinqi didn't expect was that just after he left NBC Television City, he saw FBI cars surrounding the exit.The leader came over and said: "Mr. Lin Jinqi, according to the arrest warrant signed by the Federal Court of New Jersey, you have been arrested! I am the New Jersey Federal Attorney General Bruto, hereby declare your rights, you have the right to remain silent... ..."

"I'm Dr. Lin's lawyer, and there's no need to read the rights." Jerry interrupted Brutal's speech, and then took the arrest warrant for inspection for a while.He said to Lin Jinqi, "Lin, maybe I need to wrong you, I will rush over immediately."

After Bruto took Lin Jinqi away, Jerry said to his assistant: "Drive over here immediately, and we will follow them immediately. Susan, you immediately go to the Princeton City District Court to apply for a writ of habeas corpus. I am worried that they will arrest Mr. Lin." Arrange it to the immigration prison." After giving the order, Jerry got into a black car and set off with the FBI car.

"Dr. Lin, I didn't expect that we would meet on such an occasion." Most of the FBI's cars were made by Citroen, and the rear seats were widened according to the American body shape.Fortunately, both Lin Jinqi and Brutal are not tall, otherwise the small rear compartment would not be able to make Brutal talk sideways. "If you agree to this plea agreement, the federal government can consider waiving your immunity for other crimes. This agreement is valid until you reach your destination."

"Plea bargaining" is not uncommon in the Anglo-American legal system, but usually the prosecution will never come up with a transaction agreement that is beneficial to the defendant.After Lin Jinqi scanned the final confession item of the agreement, he burst into tears with laughter. "Okay, let's wait until my lawyer arrives." Lin Jinqi replied with a smile, "I will not sign this agreement."
