Chapter 1014: Beat the snake to death

The already complicated situation became more confusing as Jin Qingtian launched a delaying tactic that even the Americans themselves did not expect.

In the office of the Director of the Securities Regulatory Commission of the United States, George Dalton, who was born in the Democratic Party only three months after taking office, looked constipated.

Because of the different national structures, in the United States, senior leadership positions ranging from governors to some federal headquarters departments will have their own staff teams.

As a backbone of the Democratic Party, George Dalton, who came from a political family, also had his own staff.

At this moment, his staff are analyzing the situation.

"This cannot be approved."

George Dalton felt his scalp numb as he looked at the temporary lock application sent by the legal team hired by Jin Qingtian Investment.

In a country with highly developed capitalism like the United States, the director of the Securities Regulatory Commission is an extremely popular position. Even his family and party have spent a lot of money to win this position.

But unfortunately, the previous directors had nothing to do with their food and drink. It was his turn to take office only a few months ago, and he encountered such a thing that attracted global attention.

The terrible thing is that the approval power is still in his hands.

George Dalton seemed to feel that in the void, countless pairs of eyes from all over the world were staring at the approval application and signature pen in his hand.

This kind of limelight is something he definitely doesn't want as a person who plans to go deep into politics, at least not now.

Whether you do good or bad, you will offend a group of people.

"George, it wouldn't be a good choice to just say no."

Tom, George Dalton's chief of staff and George's friend for many years, raised his head and said.

"None of the lawyers outside is easy to deal with. They have even prepared no less than three sets of arguments to deal with any rejection reasons we give."

"The most important thing is that federal law stipulates that unless we have evidence to prove that the funds are illegal or have harmed the national interests of the United States, we will not have any reason to refuse." Tom looked cautious.

"Everyone knows that Li Jin of China is using this fund to plunder the wealth of the United States. Do you need evidence?" George Dalton said angrily.

"George, this is not what you, the director of the Securities Regulatory Commission, should say."

Tom shrugged and said, "After our analysis, we suggest that you'd better approve it."

"First, this is in line with the requirements given to us by Washington. At least in the eyes of most investors around the world, this can prove that the United States is an open, fair and freely competitive market, and the government will not favor its own people, even if Everyone knows this is nonsense to deceive children, but Washington really needs something like this to prove its position."

"Second, in essence, Jin Qingtian Investment can no longer compete with Quantum Fund. Giving him 7 more days is nothing more than letting him linger in pain for 7 more days."

"Third, the Commercial Investigation Bureau has planned to open a case against Guge Company because they suspect that Li Jin's purchase of Guge Company shares last year was suspected of fraud and illegality."

Speaking of this, Tom chuckled and said to George Dalton: "Since the Commercial Investigation Bureau is willing to come out to offend people, why don't we just go with the flow?"

George Dalton squinted his eyes, looked at his chief of staff, then looked at the document in his hand, and said, "So, I should indeed approve this application."

"Yes, if you refuse, no one will think that we are doing well or right, and even the people will doubt whether you can perform your duties objectively and fairly, and we will have to face prosecution from those damn lawyers, but if If you sign it and pass it, no one will blame you for executing it in accordance with federal laws. They will only think that Li Jin is too cunning."

"it is good!"

George Dalton nodded, made up his mind, and immediately wrote his name on the application and stamped it.

This document will officially come into effect from this moment on.

When the news came out, Li Bancheng received the news within a short period of time.

At this time, their father and son's plane had just landed at the New York Airport.

Looking at his son, whose entire head was wrapped in gauze and in a state of utter confusion, Li Bancheng shared the news with him.

"Haha, as expected by my father, the approval was passed." Li Kai said angrily.

Li Bancheng's expression showed no emotion, and he continued: "And I just received news from the mainland that several projects we were negotiating in the mainland have been put on hold."

"Several major projects already under construction have been suspended due to incomplete inspection and safety procedures."

Li Kai quickly raised his head and said, "Is this Yanjing's punishment for us?"

"Not like."

Li Bancheng shook his head.

"If Yanjing wants to warn us, they won't do such a petty thing. If they do, they will probably hurt us."

"Well, now that the matter has come to this point, there is nothing to regret or hesitate. I will find a way to explain the mainland affairs to Yanjing. How to give in and compromise specifically, let's wait for Yanjing's attitude. The most important thing for us now is to immediately Complete the cross-shareholding procedures with Mobil Group."

Speaking of this, Li Bancheng's eyes also heated up.

"Once completed, we will own 25% of the shares of the world's largest oil company, which will be very important to our future layout and even the upgrading of the entire family industry. At that time, we will no longer be dispensable businessmen, but He is a big businessman with a say in the oil industry!"

"Father, I need to go to the hospital first."

Li Kai shook his groggy head and said, "I feel like my head is getting black now. If I don't go to the hospital as soon as possible, I'm afraid there will be sequelae."

"I'll arrange for someone to take you there."

Li Bancheng looked at the blood seeping out from under his son's gauze, his eyes darkened, and he said, "Remember, we will avenge this."

"it is good."

Li Kai nodded heavily.

"By the way, father, Li Jin will definitely take revenge on us next. What should we do?" Li Kai looked at the car driving not far away to pick up his father and son and asked.

"I only learned from Wall Street not long ago that Li Jin actually acquired the then unknown Guge Company a long time ago and has always been the major shareholder of Guge Company."

Li Bancheng stood on the airport tarmac. The wind was blowing very fast and his clothes were blowing, but his thin body became stronger and straighter.

He said calmly and calmly: "I have collected a series of evidence, which may or may not be true, and handed it over to the US Bureau of Commercial Investigation. Isn't Li Jin hiding now? Then force him to come out."

"If you hit a snake, you will kill it."
