v2 Chapter 1519： do not want to repeat the same mistakes

The next morning, Bao Zixuan left New York, and he was going to inspect various branches in the United States. It's hard to come here, and don't waste time. And there is another concern, that is, with the change of identity; the number of times that I come to the United States in the future will only become less and less. I'm worried that if Americans don't talk about martial arts; if they detain themselves, there's no place to justify it.

They have done a lot of this kind of thing in history, and the richest man Bao is also worried that it will happen to him. It is very important to prevent problems before they happen, and no one wants to be a prisoner.

In his previous life, he published an economic book "The American Trap", which caused an uproar in the international public opinion. The author of this book disclosed the inside story of the US government's crackdown on corporate competitors through his own personal experience. It exposes how the United States works directly or indirectly through public power and national power; it provides an "umbrella" for the foreign expansion of American companies.

And in-depth analysis of the story behind the insidious suppression of the French Alstom company by the United States.

General Electric Company of the United States finally acquired Alstom's power equipment at a price of 17 billion US dollars; obtained its core technology, and achieved the merger and acquisition of Alstom's power business.

For Alstom, a French business giant with a history of nearly a hundred years, spanning the global power, energy and rail transportation industries, it finally fell under the "dismemberment" of the Americans. Makes Alstom long lost its former glory.

Alstom France is a proud French company with a long history, dating back to the 1950s. With continuous development and growth, it has become a leader in the fields of global rail transit, power equipment and power transmission infrastructure. It had a glorious history before it was hit by the United States and collapsed.

Alstom has operations in more than 70 countries and regions around the world, with nearly 100,000 employees; almost every year, the total order volume is around 20 billion euros.

This is a real business giant and a multinational enterprise with great power. But as the so-called "wood show will be destroyed by forest wind", its popularity eventually led the United States to deliberately sanction and destroy it.

In the eyes of Americans, Alstom's momentum is too strong. Although General Electric Company of the United States is constantly developing, it has always been stabilized by Alstom. In the competition for orders, General Electric was once defeated by Alstom.

The United States, with Pierucci, paid bribes to Indonesian congressmen and officials of the national power company, and successfully bid for the power station project in the Tarahan area of ​​Sumatra and the fifth phase of the Tamsui Estuary Power Station project near Jakarta. A lawsuit was filed on the grounds of violating the U.S. Anti-Foreign Prosecution Act, and a huge fine of $772 million was issued to Alstom.

If you want me to say that this is not bullshit, even if people offer bribes, they are not offering bribes to your state officials. Isn't it "dogs take mice" to meddle in their own business with such a big fanfare in the United States.

However, the United States has such a "Overlord Clause" legislation as the "Anti-Overseas Prosecution Law", as long as you or your business has a little relationship with the United States, I will manage it. It is not difficult to see that the arrangement of the Americans has been deliberate for a long time.

Pierucci, who was arrested, was very depressed at this time. You said that I was happy to come to the United States on a business trip, and I could also enjoy the beautiful scenery of the United States along the way. It's alright now, arrest me and put me in the bureau, and say that I am suspected of bribery. That's fine; I've been charged with conspiracy to launder money, and if convicted, I'll face at least 125 years in prison. I have also been asked to confess my guilt through various interrogation methods.

During the period of Pierucci's arrest, the Americans were naturally not idle. They were not naive enough to think that arresting a Pierucci would make Alstom obey.

The same charges were used again during this period; four Alstom executives, including Alstom's Asia vice president, Lawrence Hawkins, were arrested. Not only that. The United States also bribed commercial spies to infiltrate Alstom's interior and collect Alstom's commercial secrets.

Americans do things like this a lot. If you really give him a shot, and press an unwarranted charge, it will be too late to cry. Fortunately, the Heiyun Group behaves relatively well, and is not worried about being charged with bribery in US dollars. But if you really want to trouble you, you can definitely find it; it's better to be careful and low-key.

Take advantage of the fact that Americans have no idea at present, and look at various branches in the United States; it is estimated that such opportunities will only become less and less in the future.

New York is very close to Boston. As the headquarters of Black Cloud Computer Company, Bao Zixuan of course wants to come and see.

When Yokoi Junpei saw the boss coming, he was very emotional. With his advanced studies at MIT in the past two years, he has a personal experience; Bao Zixuan's status at MIT and the achievements he has achieved are truly unimaginable.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile, "General Manager Yokoi, you are used to it in the United States! Has the family made arrangements?"

Black Cloud Computer Co., Ltd. is one of the key enterprises of the group, so Bao Zixuan did not want to use All American. Not disbelief, just in case. Now there is a Japanese coming to restrict it, I believe it can play a good balancing role.

Moreover, the richest man Bao fully believes in the ability of the middle-aged man in front of him, and his knowledge in the field of hardware is one aspect; the most important character of not admit defeat is very worthy of recognition.

I didn't ask about my job, but my relationship with my family. This kind of boss is really hard to find!

Yokoi Junpei said with a smile: "It's very good here, at least the climate is much better than that of Japan and Hong Kong. And my children also come to the United States to study and can receive a good education. My wife takes care of our family at home, which can be said to be very good. satisfy."

Black Cloud Group pays $3,000 to each executive's full-time wife. This is the only one in the world, so the wife's recognition of the company is very high.

As for taking care of the family and husband, there is no problem.

Hearing this, Bao Zixuan felt a lot at ease; his family was safe, and men could devote themselves to work.

Yokoi Junpei went on to say: "Our notebook computer sales are relatively stable at present, but mainframe computers are not as good as expected."

"Ibm's price reduction is one aspect. The most important thing is that they have used a lot of disgraceful means. Do we want to try it?"

Hearing this, Bao Zixuan broke out in a cold sweat. I was still thinking about this issue just now, but I didn’t expect it to actually happen to my own company.

If this is caught, it is estimated that Americans will wake up with a smile, and will never miss this opportunity.

Bao Zixuan said very resolutely: "I would rather not do business than do this kind of thing. Especially in the United States, we must be the one who suffers in the end. It is their business that ibm does, and Heiyun Group will never allow this kind of thing to happen. ."

"And I already have a plan for mainframe computers, and I'm going to build a global data center in Fucaira; I won't worry about orders, don't worry about it."

"If you often walk by the river, you can't have wet shoes. If the Americans get caught, the loss of the group will be very large, even beyond your imagination."

Yokoi Junpei has never seen this young boss with such a firm attitude. After working in the Heiyun Group for so long, there are still winks. Show that things can never be done, and must be taken as a warning in the future; not even to mention!

After that, Bao Zixuan met some old friends again and personally gave some gifts to the teachers who helped him at MIT. This is definitely not a bribe, it is just a normal interaction between teachers and students.

On the way back to New York, Bao Zixuan said to John Chambers: "General Manager Chambers, in the future, Black Cloud Group's US company must be open and aboveboard when competing for any project. Don't do any business in private. This is It's a matter of principle, but also for the sake of everyone's safety."

"If the government wants to clean up us, you can just find any reason. Don't let people get caught, otherwise the whole group will be very passive. If the business can be negotiated, then negotiate. Leave it to us and do it well. Don't be jealous when you give orders or projects to others."

Although I don't know why the boss said this all of a sudden, but judging from the name and expression, I have found that things are unusual. At the same time, he also understands that although the boss is not in the United States, his access to information is much wider than his. I still follow the orders. After all, he is a senior executive of Heiyun Group and takes Bao Zixuan's salary.

In fact, the richest man in Bao also hopes that worry is superfluous, but this assumption may not hold. There have been too many similar incidents in history, and he didn't want the Black Cloud Group to appear on the list.
