  Chapter 1109 The Shocked Bird

  Bai Kelong and a group of executives from Alstom stood in the conference room as if they had been struck by lightning.

   "Zielucci was arrested by the American Department of Justice at the New York airport!"

  The impact of such news was too great, and the entire Alstom management was stunned as if struck by lightning.

On Alstom's side, what they are thinking is that they will be targeted by America, and at most they will be fined a lot of money. In fact, Alstom's board of directors regards this as the final bottom line. In the end, they hope that France will be able to fight with Amerika. Liga mediates, and then it will not close down.

But what I heard now is that America did not talk about martial arts, and started to attack Alstom's executives directly. They could all face prison.

"How dare they, even if they want to arrest them, they should be arrested by the French Ministry of Justice or the judicial departments in those areas of Egypt that Alstom bribed..." An Alstom executive muttered, unable to hold back his body I trembled a little, and the other executives in the conference room were not much better.

They are all famous and well-known figures in France and all over Europe, and they are all worth billions of billionaires. Now they may face prison, and they are in a foreign country, thousands of miles away in America. Squatting down, I don't know how many crimes I will suffer, how can I bear it, this wave is really a knife on their necks.

   "America has enacted bills such as long-arm jurisdiction and overseas judicial anti-bribery. All companies that have business in America are subject to these bills, whether they are American companies or not!"

  Alstom's legal president said in a muffled voice. His face was as ugly as that of a dead old woman. He felt that he might be on the arrest list.

Hearing the words of the chief legal officer, the entire meeting room was blown up. There were endless voices scolding America for being a hooligan. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this bill is a hooligan. As long as the company has business in America, whether it is in Where in the world does bribery, as long as the braid is caught by the American Ministry of Justice, it will be cleaned up by America. To extend it, as long as the company uses US dollars in its transaction volume, America can smell it Taste pack it up!

  After the scolding, the executives of Alstom were all a little panicked. America was obviously trying to kill them, and Pierucci was arrested. Could it be possible for them to be arrested too? !

   And up to now, Paris, France, has not farted a single fart. It is possible that they were stunned by the trick of the suzerain country, America, but it is more likely that they were not prepared to fart at all.

Both Martin Bouygues and Bai Kelong also looked constipated, especially Martin Bouygues. He was really disturbed at this moment. Alstom was only part of the Bouygues family's property. If Because of Alstom, he was also arrested from America or even an overseas airport one day, and then sent to America to step on a sewing machine. That would be a real panic!

   When it comes to America, it’s not a pinched persimmon. Even if the Bouygues family is to be fined tens of billions of dollars, and the entire Bouygues family is tossed into pieces, will Martin Bouygues pay the fine? !

  Man is the knife and the Bouygues family is the fish. At that time, Martin Bouygues doesn't know how long he can carry it.

"enough!"

   "Everyone is quiet, you will be fine, the American Department of Justice, can you go to France to catch you?!"

  Bai Kelong looked at the panic-stricken group of directors and executives, and finally couldn't help but take a picture of the table, "That's it for today!"

After finishing speaking, Bai Kelong and Martin Bouygues slammed the door and left. At this moment, they were not in the mood. People of their status would start to worry one day whether they would be arrested and squatted Son, this is something they have never thought about, just like death, how many people are willing to face death when they really face it, especially when there are a lot of numbers in the account, there are luxury houses and sports cars, and When there are several model lovers, are they willing? !

"Go to Montbourg and those people in Paris!" Out of the conference room, Martin Bouygues said to Bai Kelong, no matter what you say now, let France make a statement first, proving that Alstom also has Supporters, otherwise it will really become meat on the chopping board.

  "Alstom President Pierupi, who is in charge of Alstom's boiler department, sales and marketing, was arrested at the New York airport today!

  America’s Ministry of Justice claims that it has obtained evidence of Alstom’s bribery in Asan, Indonesia, Egypt and other places through “witnesses”, and has 49 hours of recordings!

  According to American law, Pierucci will face a prison term of more than 45 months, or even longer, and Alstom will also face a fine of US$3.5 billion, the highest in history! "

  When the news and photos of Pierucci's bewildered arrest at the New York airport appeared in front of the media, this famous scene immediately caused an uproar in old Europe, and the whole of Europe was shocked by it!

  As soon as the news came out, major stock markets in Europe, including the Paris Stock Exchange, Frankfurt Stock Exchange, London Stock Exchange, Amsterdam Stock Exchange, Brussels Stock Exchange and other major exchanges, all began to vent like mercury.

   Just imagine, even a giant French company like Alstom can’t withstand the pressure of America, so can other old European companies escape? !

The whole of old Europe was panicked for a while, not only the major companies were panicked, but also the rich and powerful people in old Europe began to worry. For a while, a large number of rich and powerful people lowered their worth from The old Europe was transferred to America and other places, for fear of being targeted. Seeing the huge amount of money transferred from the old Europe to America, the mouths of Wall Street institutions almost laughed crookedly.

The whole of old Europe was in panic, the stock prices of major exchanges plummeted, and Wall Street institutions frantically harvested the leeks of old Europe. When the major European exchanges closed that day, the corresponding indexes, as well as the representative old European Volkswagen, Daimler, Siemens, BASF, Bayer and many other companies all fell by more than 10% that day!

Panic spread throughout old Europe, and correspondingly, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch and other well-prepared institutions are going to make crazy money today. It is conceivable that if the Alstom incident is not resolved for a day, the panic atmosphere permeating old Europe will It will not disappear, and Wall Street institutions can keep cutting off leeks.

According to the latest news from CNN, the Federal Ministry of Justice will also arrest three other Alstom executives who are suspected of bribery in addition to Pierucci. Arrested, tried and sentenced in America!"

The question now is how many companies will be implicated in this incident, including France and old Europe. According to sources, the North American executives of the French Alcatel Group were also questioned by the Texas State Attorney today. !

  Although no arrests have been made, all executives above the manager level of the French Alcatel Group in North America have submitted their resignations today, and the entire North American department of the Alcatel Group is in a state of paralysis!

  Pierucci has been confirmed and will be sent to the Rhode Island Prison, which is the most heavily guarded and most dangerous prison in America! "

  British BBC TV kept transferring the news collected from America to England and old Europe, but there was no good news. Pierucci was arrested, which really scared too many people.

To describe it as a frightened bird, the state of the old European company in America is too much. The senior employees of the old European company in the American company, as long as there is a little trouble, they will immediately run away without hesitation , Which is more important, a high salary or a small life? The group of professional managers clearly distinguishes them. At this time, they don't care about compensation and severance pay. It's good to be able to escape!

Even in order to save their lives, these professional managers who used to work in the old European giant company took the initiative to reveal a lot of inside stories, exposing the "true face" of the old European company, which provoked a large group of melon-eating people in America to call Good guy, the criticism of Alstom and other companies is even higher than the wave.

"The most important thing is the attitude of the commander in chief of America and Capitol Hill. As we all know, the newly appointed commander in chief of the little cowboy was born in Texas, which is known for its toughness, and has experienced the World Trade Center incident in New York. Alstom and other companies This behavior is considered to be another provocative behavior against America, which the Cowboy Commander and his supporters cannot tolerate!"

   "Montebourg, the boss of the French industrial sector, has protested on behalf of France, but America has not responded!"

In the BBC studio, there is also endless debate at the moment. This time, America suddenly flipped the table, which made the old Europeans a little confused. The first reaction was not to fight with America, but to speculate anxiously, what caused the trouble? Arrived in the suzerain country.

As for the cutting of their leeks in America, some people in old Europe also guessed it, but can this kind of speculation be discussed on the bright side, and whoever dares to speak out directly, then wait for the suzerain's knife , So what appeared in the mainstream media became a speculation, where did France fail to serve the suzerain country well and angered the suzerain country.
