Chapter 984: I want to see the president!

Regarding the grudge between Lu Zhou and Exxon Mobil, it can be said that it is an old thing.
In fact, if it wasn't for the thesis being turned up again, it would be over.
But the problem is that not only was the paper turned out, but it was also worthless and turned into a key to the trillion market ...
The other side of the Pacific Ocean.
An office in the White House.
Pushing away the assistant trying to stop in front of him, Woods quickly walked into the office, slamming his hand on the table, staring at the White House Chief of Staff Kevin who was sitting across the desk.
"I want to see the president!"
Looking at Woods with a headache on his face, Kevin stopped the pen in his hand and sighed.
"The President is not in the White House right now. I'm afraid I don't have time to meet you. It's the same with me. I will pass on your request to His Excellency the President, if your request is within a reasonable range."
ExxonMobil is one of the goldlords who provided funding for their party. Although they may not necessarily obey the advice of the father of the goldlord, but if it is not necessary, no one will be willing to frustrate with the green Franklin ...
Seeing that the chief of staff didn't pay much attention to his speech, Woods took a deep breath and stared at him quickly.
"Look, the patent for the lithium air battery originally belonged to us, but they used disgraceful means to steal from us what was originally ours! This is the commercial fraud of Chiguo!"
Even after mixing politics for so many years, he can be regarded as a city wall-like face, but listening to Wu Ci's mouthful, Kevin still had a few black lines on his head.
Even commercial fraud came out ...
The contract for the patent transfer was written so clearly in black and white on paper. Can this contract be signed by someone else?
"So what do you want me to do? Convince the President and Congress to change the law?"
Woods opened his mouth and couldn't help but talk.
In fact, he didn't think of any good way.
Before coming here, ExxonMobil's salesman has ran to Shanghai several times, and even paid 10 times the price of Xingkong Technology's original use of the shell company to buy the patent from them, but still failed. Buy back the patent for that cage carbon molecule ...
Looking at the non-speaking Woods, Kevin sighed and said, "Maybe you should seriously think about coming to me again."
Seeing that the chief of staff of the President did not seem to be helping himself, Woods took a deep breath, and his hard look on his face remained unchanged, staring at his eyes and continuing.
"Listen, how important is the lithium-air battery technology, I don't think I need to say any more? At first, because of the lithium-sulfur battery, our new energy industry would lag behind China by a large margin. If we let them Mastering the technology of lithium air batteries, we will fall into the abyss that will never be restored. Do you understand what I mean? "
"The patent may only be more than two decades, but as long as they have been lying on us and continuously sucking blood, and then using the nutrients they have taken away from us to cultivate their own R & D strength, we will always lose the opportunity to exceed them and always worsen them Twenty years! I can only pay for my own backwardness! Just like the dilemma faced by the Chinese in the semiconductor industry! "
"In order to avoid falling into this abyss, no matter what method is used, we must do something!"
Kevin frowned slightly.
Although in his view, the Exxon Mobil's ceo was just venting to him the anger of being defeated by Chinese companies, but one sentence caught his attention.
If China continues to lead the new energy industry, it will definitely not be a good thing for the United States.
In particular, in the hands of the Chinese, the ace of controllable fusion ...
Just as Kevin was thinking about how he should report the matter to His Excellency the President, the office door suddenly opened.
The rude opening door interrupted Woods' chattering voice, and saw a man in a plaid shirt walk in quickly, almost speaking in exactly the same tone.
"I want to see the president!"
Kevin's expression was a little weird. He glanced at Musk standing at the door, and said after calming down.
"About half an hour ago, someone said the same thing as you, or ... you talk about it in private?"
Musk glanced at Woods in the office, wondering who this man was for a while, but never remembered, so he took a deep breath and watched Kevin continue.
"Look, no matter what this gentleman says, what I'm going to say next is a very important thing, important enough that you let go of your current job until I say something--"
Kevin: "Let me guess first, is it related to new energy?"
Musk stunned for a moment, then snapped his fingers.
"That's right! Or to be more accurate, it's a lithium-air battery! If you have followed the news recently, you should know what those Chinese have done! They have two unrelated lithium battery and wireless charging Technology is tied together, and like a hooligan, it forces us to accept the standards they set ... It's almost, it's like ... "
With a breath in his throat, Musk opened his mouth and struggled for a while before he found a set of accurate words and exhaled the emotion in his throat.
"... It's almost like we are forced to eat shit!"
"puff!"
Woods, who was standing next to him, almost couldn't hold back, and accidentally laughed out of the metaphor because this funny expression really looked like something that should not be eaten.
It wasn't until two other people in the office looked at him that Woods instantly realized that he was in a bad state, hurriedly coughed, and put on a serious expression.
"Sorry ... I sympathize with your experience."
Musk opened his mouth and wanted to say something more.
But just then, Kevin, who was sitting behind his desk, pushed away his chair and stood up.
"Well, gentlemen, that's it for today's meeting. I will have a very important meeting in a while, and I can't go on with you for an endless discussion."
He glanced at Woods, then Musk, and held his breath for a few seconds before continuing.
"I probably understand what you want to say. Starry sky technology is a threat. Am I right?"
Musk and Woods nodded hard and said with gritted teeth.
"Yes, not just threats, their existence is simply a tumor!"
"Yes, I have to add, it's a shameful thief! A thief!"
"Okay, gentlemen, the White House will take this matter seriously!" Kevin nodded with a serious expression. "We will let the Ministry of Commerce seriously investigate the patent acquisition case six years ago, as well as suspected illegal use of patents and improper use of the sh standard. The terms of competition, if the situation is true, we will give you a satisfactory answer! "
Hearing this, Musk finally managed to breathe a sigh of relief.
Although this result is not 100% satisfactory, at least 80% is achieved.
As long as the Ministry of Commerce can give Xingkong Technology a suspected monopoly hat, most of the problems can be solved.
After all, the US Department of Commerce's antitrust investigation is no joke.
As long as those people are watching, even Starry Sky Technology has to peel off a layer ...
Musk is convinced.
...
The meeting is over.
Reluctantly got a fairly satisfactory answer, Woods walked out of the White House mansion with exhausted face, and got into the black extension car at the door.
Sitting opposite him, a man in a black suit asked with a few undulating voices.
"How's it going?"
It seemed a little scared of the man, and Woods wasn't as aggressive as he used to be in the Chief of Staff's office, but spoke in a restrained tone.
"The White House seems to recognize the importance of the problem, and they intend to launch an antitrust investigation against Starry. Just now I saw Tesla's ceo ... did you let him come?"
"No ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Turned casually and nodded to the driver to signal that he could drive, Lawrence continued to look at the ceo sitting opposite him," I didn't instruct him to do anything , But apparently they made the right choice. "
Woods frowned and continued: "You are so optimistic about Tesla's charging pile business in China? IMHO, although the Chinese market is huge, this kind of public utility related to national security ... even if they are willing to do Some changes are open to private companies, but may not allow a foreign-funded company that has not passed the political review to control the power output ports in Shanghai. "
"Mr. Woods, I ask you to think about a question," Lawrence smiled indifferently and said easily, "If the White House changes its owner every four years, how can we ensure that every president in office can take care of him? Our good guys. "
Woods frowned.
"This is a technical issue. First of all, we have to investigate the voter support in each state and pass-"
"Not as complicated as you think."
Lawrence shook his head, but raised two fingers, just like a V sign representing victory, and shook it gently in front of the Mobil ceo.
"To sum up, just bet on both sides."
