Homecoming of Rebirth

Although Jobs believed that Adams' plan was very likely to be realized, he still couldn't pass the psychological level.

"Bill, are we really going to do this? It's disgraceful."

Bill heaved a long sigh, he also knew it was dishonorable, and it might even make him unable to face Qi Lei in the future.

But, "Steve!" Bill shrugged with difficulty, "Building a factory in China will not affect our competitive relationship with Sanshi Company. Similarly, I also appreciate Qi's talent very much. But this is related to the survival of the company. We have to consider Adams' proposal."

"Like your Apple and my Microsoft, we are good friends, but competition is competition, isn't it?"

Jobs nodded, a business is a business, and a personal relationship is a personal relationship. What Bill said makes sense.

At this time, Kroger couldn't wait to interject, "What are you still thinking about? This is our only way out!"

Klaug's expression was very excited and eager, and he suddenly raised his voice, which stood out among the whispers.

"Mr. Adams, Intel is willing to support your proposal!"

Scanning the audience and seeing everyone looking at him, Klaug's voice became even more sinister, "Even if everyone objects, Intel is willing to spend all its funds and all its strength to complete this task!"

Everyone was stunned, including Adams.

These Silicon Valley upstarts are not like the "old money" in New York and Washington. This kind of robbery and use of improper means to attack enemies is commonplace.

If the current scene were changed to a group of people, they would not have these whispered discussions at all, let alone struggle.

They will hold their heads high, pretend to be gentlemen, and say a lot of great truths, and then find a high-sounding reason to attribute the fault to their opponents, and finally agree to that despicable proposal painfully and reluctantly, and silently pray for the victims, saying "Amen ".

The "new money" in Silicon Valley is completely different, and they still maintain a childish arrogance. They may think this is too despicable, and it can't even pass the moral level.

Adams is actually ready to talk a lot.

But what he didn't expect was that Intel, as a core member of the Silicon Valley faction, agreed so readily.

This is undoubtedly a very good start.

What surprised Adams even more was that after Intel, AMD and Texas Instruments (Texas Instruments is not in Silicon Valley, but belongs to the core companies of the US semiconductor industry) also jumped out silkily.

Like Intel, they even skipped the hypocrisy of old money.

This made Adams' lobbying very smooth, looking at everyone, "How is it? I think everyone has already made a decision?"

"In fact, you don't have to worry at all. First of all, EDN is professional in this kind of thing. We have performed similar operations many times."

"Secondly, you don't have to worry about reputation damage. In fact, it is EDN that does the work, and it is Washington politicians who provide reasonable and legal basis."

"Everyone only needs to provide funds and support, and the rest don't have to take any risks."

He laughed out loud with mockery on his face, "To put it bluntly, even if consumers all over the world scold the United States for being shameless, they won't blame you."

"We are just passive beneficiaries of this investigation launched by the United States for the national interest."

Everyone, "..."

Well, Adams' words completely removed everyone's psychological defenses, and finally decided to follow in the footsteps of Intel, AMD and Texas Instruments and agreed to provide full support for Adams.

And Adams is one step closer to his goal.

You know, it is now May 2007. After receiving Koch’s support and approval in February, Adams has used all available investigation resources in a few months, and has mastered a large number of Sanshi, Changning, and Meisi. material.

Now, only the last direct evidence is missing.

The full support of Silicon Valley undoubtedly added a lot of leverage to Adams' actions, and he was only one step away.

What surprised Adams even more was that maybe God was on his side. Just when Adams left Santa Clara, he received a call that would wake him up with a smile in his dreams.

"Reliable news, Qi Lei, Wu Ning, and Xu Qian, the three of them just boarded the plane to Seattle and landed about ten hours later."

Adams was ecstatic after hearing this, "Is the news reliable?"

"reliable!"

"Great!"

Hanging up the phone, Adams immediately called Koch.

"Mr. Koch, Qi Lei has come to the United States, accompanied by his two important partners, maybe we can act now!"

Koch on the opposite side was stunned, "He's here? Is this unlikely?"

Adams, "The news is accurate, he did come."

Koch fell into silence for a long time, "This is illogical. You have been investigating him. It is impossible for him to be unaware. He should know that the risk of being detained in the United States is very high."

"Why did he dare to come?"

Koch's question made Adams feel a little nervous, frowning and meditating, "You said, is it possible that Palace B is supporting him?"

Koch, "It's very possible! Adam, this matter is not suitable for conflicting with the route of Palace B. So, you have to be very cautious!"

Adams, "Mr. Koch, you know that it is very difficult for our external investigation to obtain substantive evidence. And Qi Lei seems to have deliberately avoided trouble these years, without leaving any loopholes."

"If we want to get rid of this trouble, we must start from the inside!"

Koch, "What do you suggest?"

Adams, "We must raid Sanshi, Changning, and Meisi to investigate their internal information."

The other side fell silent again for a long time...

Koch, "Yes! But, don't touch Qi Lei. Choose a time when he is not around, and make a surprise investigation. I will ask the FBI, as well as friends in New York and Seattle to assist you."

Adams, "Okay."

Koch emphasized again, "Remember! Qi Lei must not be in the company, we must consider the impact of all aspects!"

After hearing this, Adams gritted his teeth with a gloomy expression, "Okay!"

After hanging up the phone, Adams closed his eyes and remained silent for a while.

"Baker!"

"What are you doing?" Beck, who was driving, responded in a muffled voice.

Adams, "Let's go to Seattle!"

Baker raised his eyebrows. As for Adams' broken mobile phone, which was very loud, Baker could hear Koch's instructions on the phone clearly.

"Adam, you won't go against Koch's wishes and bring that Chinese back?"

Adams smiled, "Of course we have to follow Mr. Koch's advice. However, if an accident happens and Qi Lei happens to be in the company, then we have nothing to do. Isn't it?"

Koch wanted to leave a leeway so that the situation would not get out of control.To put it bluntly, Koch was a little naive.

He wanted to destroy Sanshi Company, but he also didn't want to cause a huge zz storm because of Qi Lei.No way, that person is too important to both China and the United States.

However, Adams' primary goal is Qi Lei.If the final result is that Qi Lei is detained, or simply arrested in the name of violating federal laws, then it will be an established fact.

At that time, it will not be as simple as catching and releasing.Coupled with the involvement of Silicon Valley and the turmoil of public opinion, the US government is bound to give an explanation.

According to past experience, it is impossible for the United States to admit its mistakes, so the only way left is to completely prove Qi Lei's charges.

Adams' smirk became more and more ferocious, he wanted Qi Lei...forever!

"Okay!" Baker shook his head. There was nothing he could do about Adams. A good job had been completely turned into a personal grudge by Adams.

Although Baker didn't like the Chinese person either, he especially wanted to remind Adams, "You're a little too emotional."

Adams didn't answer, and the envelope appeared in his mind again.

What the hell, that's a deep hatred!As an old coin, I can't stand this.

Adams must win once to regain his confidence.In other words, he must pass Qi Lei's level, otherwise his world will collapse.

……

※※※

Seattle in the rain shows its elegant beauty.

It's a pity that Qi Lei didn't have time to appreciate it, his eyes were fixed on the long caravan roaring down the stairs of the Sanshi Building, cleared by police cars.

Faintly saw a familiar figure getting out of the car straight up, looking up.

Qi Lei seemed to be able to see the curvature of Adams' mouth, as well as the ostentatious eyes like a winner.

Withdrawing his gaze, he smiled wryly at Wu Ning and Xu Qian beside him, "What should come, will come eventually!"

Xu Xiaoqian grabbed Qi Lei's palm fiercely, "I'm a little scared."

But Wu Ning frowned, "Is this the worst case?"

Qi Lei didn't answer, but exerted a little force on his palm, trying to transfer the strength to Xu Xiaoqian.

She lightly pressed it on her forehead, and then calmly said, "Okay, there's still time for you to go downstairs, don't be caught in a mess."

Wu Ning pouted, "I really want to go to the FBI for tea."

Qi Lei, "There seems to be only coffee there."

Wu Ning, "Forget it."

Calmly preparing to leave, after many years of experience, Wu Xiaojian has become a little calm.

On the other hand, Xu Qian, she is a woman after all, and it has something to do with Qi Lei, it is difficult to calm down, "I regret it a bit."

At this moment, she understood the difference between saying and doing.

When I said it lightly, when everyone was discussing the worst possible situation that the Sanshi mobile phone might face when it went public, they had anticipated today, but Xu Qian didn't have much feeling at that time.

She believed that Qi Lei would definitely be able to pass the test this time.

But when things came to an end, she regretted it.

Staring wide-eyed, said a very immature sentence, "You run with us!"

Finally, when Adams pushed open the door of Qi Lei's office, he saw that fateful rival sitting on the sofa and looking at him.

Adams let out a long breath.

Yes, Qi Lei didn't run away, just sat here and waited for Adams.

And Adams was not in a hurry to do anything, but slowed down and sat on the sofa as well.

He wants to enjoy this moment.

The first sentence, "There are important people who don't want you to have an accident, so... there is still a chance."

Looking at Qi Lei with a smile, "If you are willing to cooperate, I think you can return to China safely."

Qi Lei, "Do you have any cigarettes?"

Adams raised his eyebrows, he remembered that Qi Lei didn't smoke before.The smile grew stronger, he liked Qi Lei's move.

Passed a cigarette, and helped Qi Lei light the fire with his own hands, watching him take a deep breath.

"Qi, I admit that you are better than me. To be honest, you are the person I admire the most, bar none!"

"Yes!" Adams was very sincere, "Even my teacher, Mr. Sharp, couldn't make me feel this kind of awe."

"But!" Looking directly at the smog, "You chose the wrong opponent!"

The tone suddenly rose, ferocious, distorted, and hysterical, mixed with unconcealable pride, "Behind me is the United States! It is the entire United States!"

"Huh..." Qi Lei exhaled a long column of smoke, leaned back on the back of the sofa, and looked at the ceiling.

Still not answering Adams' words, "What is the charge?"

Adams shrugged. "A lot."

Qi Lei, "Be more specific."

Adams, "Stealing America's Core Technology..."

"commercial fraud……"

"Illegal stock market operations..."

"Illegal acquisition of ARM..."

"Wait!" He sneered, "What other charges do you think I should accuse you of?"

"Oh, yes, and resisting a federal investigation with violence."

Well, this point is very important, this is the most important point to bring Qi Lei back.

Qi Lei listened, stubbed out the cigarette butt, and stood up slowly.

Looking out the window, I saw Wu Ning and Xu Xiaoqian swaggering out of the headquarters building under Adams' nose, getting into the car and leaving.
