"Commercial espionage!" Ju An blinked and asked Liu Chao, "What exactly is involved, a software company?"
Liu Chao glanced at Ju An: "Does the software company need me to run? I'm not from our software company. When I was studying in college here, one of my good friends has already become an American citizen, but he plans to return to China to see me. While watching, he was stopped by the FBI at the airport, and trade secrets of the company he was currently working for were found on his laptop, and he is now accused by the company of being a commercial espionage."
It turns out that this is what happened. After hearing what Liu Chao said, Ju An asked Liu Chao: "What does it have to do with you? How can I force you to hide everywhere? You won't hide in your villa. How nice is Hampton?" ".
"I didn't know it at first, but I was on vacation in the Hamptons with Zhao Nan and my children. I was caught by his wife, so I had to come back. Who knew that they would chase me to San Francisco again, so I planned to run here to escape from you. "Escape" Liu Chao explained to Ju An and Wang Fan.
Wang Fan glanced at Liu Chao: "You two have such a good relationship, but my wife found you first." After speaking, he looked at Liu Chao lewdly.
Liu Chao pointed at Wang Fan: "I don't want to see that look from you. When I came to the United States to study, I became familiar with this person. They are all from China, and everyone takes care of each other. If it's anything else, I "What else can I do to help? All I can do is hire a good lawyer for him, but this woman wants me to declare my support for my friend in front of the camera, which makes it very difficult for me, so I have to hide."
"This woman must be mentally ill," Wang Fan said, shaking his head after hearing this.
Liu Chao sighed and said: "This man was forced to have no choice. Now the neighbors look at his family a little strangely. His children are also alienated from other children in school, saying that he is a traitor. Children I'm so upset that I don't want to go to school, and now I skip classes all day long. Among the people I know, I am the only one who is relatively famous, so I thought I could stand up and at least support him, but can I stand up in this situation?"
Ju An understood it roughly after hearing this. Let alone Liu Chao to stand up and support him, even if it were left to him, he would probably have to retreat. What was being intercepted at this airport was the FBI, not the airport's security check. He must have been followed for more than a day or two. There is a high probability that this person is a commercial spy. How can others support him?
This world is sometimes funny. As the economy on the other side of the Pacific becomes stronger and stronger, the United States is also paying more and more attention to the spies on the other side. The same tactics used by the United States to deal with the Soviet Union were applied to China again. Every time something involving domestic spies would cause an uproar. In fact, this kind of spies are just that. Which country has not gone to other countries? It has sent spies. If that country says that it has never sent spies to the other country, that would be the biggest lie. The United States probably sends more spies at home. The reason why Americans don't care about the loyalty of Hispanics and African Americans. It is because the country behind them is not a threat. They are concerned about the loyalty of Chinese Americans to the country because the country behind them is already a threat.
Why the spies designed into the country are causing so much trouble is because the United States thinks you are an opponent. In the past, the number one opponent of the United States was the Soviet Union. Only then would there be a honeymoon between China and the United States. Now that the Soviet Union is finished, the biggest remaining opponent in the world is China. This is the opponent that Americans believe can truly threaten them. If you were sent by an African country, maybe no American newspapers would be interested in paying attention to you. With your national strength, I don¡¯t think you are qualified to threaten the security of the United States.
Liu Chao then sighed and said, "His wife told me that he just accidentally brought this information back to China. Somehow, he was discovered by the FBI. He thought it involved the interests of American companies. He assured me again and again. , that schoolmate of mine is not a spy."
This statement is just fooling you. Let alone other companies, it¡¯s Ju¡¯an¡¯s pasture. If you just take a white cow or a gray cow out for a look, they can sue you for commercial espionage after intercepting them. You won¡¯t He said, I will take the cows out to herd them. Dude, the cattle in this ranch have been stolen. Aren't these unlucky guys guilty of commercial espionage? As for the shadow behind it, those idiots at the FBI haven't figured it out yet. Of course, it's possible that others have figured it out, but the evidence proves that anyway, even if Ju An is not very sure, there is a 99% chance that he is a kid. Whoever is the biggest threat to the cattle from his own ranch is the biggest suspect. Do Brazilians have the world's top cattle breeds? Why are they stealing their own cattle?
Every company emphasizes confidentiality when it comes to its own technology, especially for many people who do research. Data and results cannot be taken out of the company. You take the company's technology and put it in your notebook, and you still want to Take him out, if you say you are not a spy, how can others believe you? Can you tell me that you, as a spy, are professional in what you do?How about setting up an ambush and going around in circles like this to stun the FBI losers first? You carelessly put it in your notebook. You are ignoring the idiots who receive taxpayers' money.
¡°Then again, as a researcher, don¡¯t you know your company¡¯s confidentiality regulations? Or are you ignoring the company's rules and regulations? When you take this information out of the company, you are already breaking the law.
Ju An said to Liu Chao: "You can explain to me that you can help me hire a good lawyer. As for running around like this, you can just run away. Why don't you take your wife and children with you? What you are doing is Not good."
Liu Chao explained to Ju An: "Zhao Nan has a bad relationship with her. You know women. The two of them disliked each other when they were in school. She didn't dare to pester Zhao Nan, so she took advantage of her. Block me when I come out." Liu Chao touched his forehead as he spoke and leaned his head on the sofa: "It's too pitiful to hear what she said, but she can't reach out. I'm also worried and can't reach out to help."
"If he is not a spy, he can just have a good lawyer to argue in court. He can always figure it out." Ju An reached out and patted Liu Chao's leg. I'm just trying to comfort Liu Chao. To be honest, Ju An is not very optimistic about this outcome, but it's hard to tell when it goes to court. After all, these cases are tried in public in the United States, and both the media and individuals You can go in and observe. It cannot be said to be absolutely fair, but at least it is relatively fair.
"If you were placed in the greatest country in the universe, the fat man in charge might just give an order and take care of you in any corner. If you want to have a public trial, there is no way. At that time, the whole family will be labeled as counterrevolutionary. Our children and grandchildren are all anti-social elements.
Now that Ju'an has passed, everything is good in my country and I am a pacesetter in the world. I don't think that there is any country in the world that doesn't do any bad things. It's just that others come to steal from me and never steal from others. What. You can casually search the intelligence agencies of various countries on the Internet, and then look at their functions to roughly know what these people do.
Anyway, from the espionage cases that Ju An read in the newspapers after coming to the United States, it cannot be said that all those who were prosecuted were spies. At least more than half of them eventually confessed to some of the espionage charges.
"You said he has nothing to do but run around with the company's research results. He has everything, and his family is living in the high-end middle class. Why bother with all this?" Liu Chao sighed and said.
Wang Fan looked at Liu Chao and smiled and consoled him: "There have always been some dissatisfied people in this world. They always want to get more and take risks for money. They existed in ancient times, they exist now, and they will continue to exist in the future. Greed is The driving force for human progress, this person is just a little unlucky." Wang Fan smiled and made a very philosophical statement. Ju An shook his head when he heard it. He wanted to refute but couldn't find an excuse. In some ways, there is nothing wrong with saying this. Everyone always wants to have a better life. , can we constantly create new things to satisfy ourselves.
Ju An smiled and said, "Don't be depressed. Leave the rest to the judge. Plea guilty, guilty, and released if not guilty. Is this something you can consider? Let's go! Let's go swimming in the sea." After saying that, he stood up and pulled Liu Chao up from the sofa. The three of them went back to the room, changed their clothes, and walked towards the beach together.
The three brothers spent more than a week together before Liu Chao returned to San Francisco. During this period, he had already hired a lawyer for this unlucky guy. He was said to be one of the best lawyers in California. As for the result, he is still making trouble now. Ju An I don¡¯t care much about the process, I just want to see the final result when the time comes.
After squatting in California for these days, Ju An discovered a problem. There was no rain at all in California. The weather was very hot. Only in the evening of one day, the dark clouds gathered a little and then fluttered for a few minutes. The beach in front of his house didn't even get wet, so the old man called it a day.
Ju An sat on a beach chair and looked at the children running barefoot on the beach. He turned to Wang Fan next to him and said: "The weather is not right these days. Why is it that there is no rain at all? You Tell us whether our vineyards will be affected." Sitting in such hot California, Ju An actually remembered his vineyards.
Wang Fan glanced at Ju An and said, "You know what? This climate is just right for grapes to grow. It's hot enough and there's little rain. Maybe this year will be the golden year for grapes in California." After speaking, he touched the sweat on his belly. , continue to lie on the beach chair and relax.
Ju An looked at the old god Wang Fan lying there, and muttered: "It hasn't rained for so long, this is a good year? The grapes are so good, they don't even need a little rain?".
Seeing that Wang Fan ignored him, he had no choice but toHe said a few words to himself, then lay down, feeling that in this hot weather, Ju An was always thinking about the vineyard, and suddenly he felt as if grass had grown in his heart.
