Scholar’s Advanced Technological System

As for the grudge between the Ark and ExxonMobil, it can be said that it is an old thing.

In fact, if that paper hadn't been turned over again, it would have been over.

But the problem is that not only was the paper turned over, but it was also worthless from the original to a key to a trillion markets...

The other side of the Pacific.

Some office in the White House.

Pushing away the assistant trying to stop himself, he quickly walked into Woods' office, holding his hand on the table, staring at White House Chief of Staff Kevin sitting across from the desk, saying word for word.

“I want to see the President! ”

Looking at Woods standing at his desk with a headache, Kevin stopped the pen in his hand and sighed.

“The President is not in the White House right now, and I'm afraid I don't have time to see you, either. I will convey your request to His Excellency the President, if your request is within reasonable limits. ”

ExxonMobil is one of the golden owners of funding their party. Although they don't necessarily have to follow the advice of the golden father, if it wasn't necessary, no one would be willing to go with Franklin of Green Oil...

Watching the chief of staff not take his statement seriously, Woods took a deep breath and stared at the speed of his speech to continue.

“Listen, the patent on the lithium empty battery was ours, but they took what was ours by disgraceful means! This is a commercial fraud for Red Fruit! ”

Even though Mixed Miracles politics has practiced a wall-like face for so many years, Kevin still has a few black lines coming out of his head after listening to Wu Zhi's full speech.

Even commercial fraud came out...

The contract for the transfer of the patent is so clear in black and white, can someone else force you to sign it?

“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 say a few words.

In fact, he didn't come up with any good ideas.

Before coming here, ExxonMobil's operators had traveled to Shanghai several times, even offering 10 times the price of the patent that Startech had bought from them through the shell company, but still failed to successfully buy back the patent for the caged carbon molecule...

Looking at the silent Woods, Kevin sighed and said, "Maybe you should seriously think about coming back to me. ”

Seeing the president's chief of staff did not seem to intend to help himself, Woods took a deep breath, his face remained strong and stared into his eyes and continued.

“Listen, how important is lithium empty battery technology, and I'm sure you don't need me to say more? Because of lithium-sulfur batteries, our new energy industry is already lagging behind China. If we let them master lithium-sulfur battery technology, we will fall into the abyss. You know what I mean? ”

“Patents may be more than 20 years old, but as long as they keep on lying on our backs and sucking blood, and then building their own R&D power with the nutrients they suck from us, we will forever lose more than their chance, and we will forever be 20 years behind them! You can only keep paying for your backwardness! Just like the difficulties faced by the Chinese in the semiconductor industry! ”

“In order to avoid falling into this abyss, whatever means are used, we must do something! ”

Kevin frowned slightly.

Although, in his view, ExxonMobil's CEO was merely exhaling anger at him for being thwarted by Chinese companies, one sentence caught his attention.

It would never be a good thing for the United States if China continued to lead the way in the new energy industry.

Especially when the Chinese are holding this ace of controllable nuclear fusion...

Just as Kevin was thinking about how he could report the information to His Excellency the President, the door of the office suddenly opened.

The rude opening interrupted Woods' chatter and saw a man in a plaid shirt walking in, almost speaking in the same tone.

“I want to see the President! ”

Kevin's expression was a bit odd, and he looked at Musk standing at the door and said after he had settled his mind.

“Someone said the same thing to you about half an hour ago, or... why don't you discuss it privately? ”

Musk glanced at Woods standing in the office and wondered who he was for a while, never remembering, so he took a deep breath and looked at Kevin to continue.

“Look, whatever this gentleman has to say, what I'm about to say is a very important thing, important enough for you to put down the work you're doing right now and wait for me to say--”

Kevin: “Let me guess, isn't it about new energy? ”

Musk stunned slightly and then struck a ringing finger.

“Exactly! Or more precisely, a lithium air battery! But if you've been watching the news lately, you should know what those damn Chinese have done! They bundle the lithium battery and wireless charging together, two very irrelevant technologies, and force us, like hooligans, to accept the standards they set... it's like...”

With a breath held in his throat, Musk opened his mouth and struggled for a while before finding a set of exact words to exhale the emotions held in his throat.

“... it's like forcing us to eat shit! ”

“Pfft!”

Woods, standing next to him, almost couldn't help but be accidentally laughed out by this metaphor, because this funny expression is really like eating something that shouldn't be eaten.

It wasn't until two other people in the office looked to his side that Woods instantly realized that he had lost his temper, hurriedly coughed up and changed his serious expression.

“I'm sorry… I feel sorry for what happened to you. ”

Musk opened his mouth and wanted to go on.

But at this point, Kevin, sitting behind the desk, pushed the chair away and stood up.

“Well, gentlemen, that concludes our meeting today, and I have a very important meeting to discuss with you in a moment, which cannot last forever. ”

After a glance at Woods, he looked at Musk again, holding his breath for a few seconds and thinking, saying.

“I think I understand what you're trying to say. Sky technology is a threat. Am I right? ”

Musk and Woods pushed their heads down, biting their teeth and saying.

“That's right, it's not just a threat. Their presence is a toxic tumor! ”

“Yes, to add, that's a disgraceful thief! Thief!”

“Okay, gentlemen, the White House will pay attention to this!” Kevin nodded seriously, "We will have the Commerce Department carefully investigate the patent acquisition six years ago, as well as the alleged patent violation and unfair competition clauses in the SH standard, and if the situation is true, we will give you a satisfactory answer! ”

When he heard that, Musk finally took a reluctant breath.

Although this result is not 100 per cent satisfactory, more than 80 per cent is at least.

The vast majority of problems can be solved as long as the Department of Commerce attaches a suspected monopoly hat to Startech.

After all, the U.S. Department of Commerce's antitrust investigation is no joke.

As long as those people are watching, even Startech will have to peel off a layer of skin...

Musk is convinced of this.

……

The meeting is over.

A reasonably satisfactory reply was barely received, and Woods stepped out of the White House mansion exhausted and boarded the black extended sedan at the door.

Sitting opposite him, a man in a black suit asked with little fluctuations.

“How's it going? ”

Seems a little scared of this man, Woods was not as aggressive as he had been in the bureaucracy before, but spoke in a harsh tone.

“The White House seems to recognize the importance of the problem and intends to launch an anti-monopoly investigation into astral technology. I just saw Tesla's CEO... did you let him come? ”

“No,” he nodded to the driver, suggesting he could drive, and 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 went on to say, "How do you like Tesla's charging pile business in China? With all due respect, the Chinese market is huge, but this is a public service of national security… Even if they are willing to make some changes to open up to private companies, they will not necessarily allow a politically inadmissible foreign-funded enterprise to control electricity output ports in Shanghai. ”

“Mr. Woods, I ask you to think about one question," Lawrence smiled not carelessly and said easily, "If the White House changes owners every four years, how can we ensure that every president in office is a good person who can take care of us? ”

Woods frowned.

“It's a technical question, first we have to study the voter support rates in the states, through...”

“It's not as complicated as you think. ”

Lawrence shook his head, just putting up two fingers, as if he were stroking slightly in front of the CEO of Mobil, more like a V-word representing victory.

“To sum up, place your bets on both sides. ”
