Qiu Hong immediately explained to Ling Tian what she had investigated.
The Gustav Pharmaceutical Company, which had filed a lawsuit against Bing Tian Pharmaceutical this time, belonged to the Gustav Consortium in the United States. This consortium had a very unusual background, belonging to the family of Boris Gustav, a powerful senator in the US.
Boris Gustav, in his sixties, was a man of great influence in American politics. As long as he was willing to spend money, becoming president would not be difficult.
However, he was well aware that the presidency was a target of public scrutiny. Sitting in that position might even affect the family business. It was better to remain a senator and secure more benefits for the family.
Through Qiu Hong's investigation, the Gustav family and its affiliated enterprises had no prior disputes or business dealings with Bing Tian Pharmaceutical.
However, Qiu Hong also discovered that Gustav Pharmaceutical had been experiencing severe losses in recent years. In particular, several new drugs they had invested billions of US dollars in research and development for were found to have serious problems, leading to them being banned from market sale by the FDA, which resulted in heavy losses for Gustav Pharmaceutical.
As for the Maple Leaf Country, they were completely following the orders of the Americans. If the Americans told them to go east, they would absolutely not dare to go west.
After listening to Qiu Hong's intelligence, Ling Tian spoke.
"It's clear that this matter is very straightforward. The other party is targeting Bing Tian Pharmaceutical. You should all be aware that Americans have a history of such unethical practices..."
The United States of America was a world-renowned brand, notorious for its hypocrisy.
They constantly preached free trade and used it as a pretext to open the doors of other countries. However, once they suffered a loss, they would immediately change their tune.
Especially in almost every industry worldwide, if any enterprise dared to threaten the interests of American enterprises, the US would resort to all sorts of underhanded tactics.
The most famous example was the French telecommunications giant Alstom. When Alstom was at its peak, its market position almost crushed several American telecommunications giants. They also held a large number of patents and even had the potential to become the leader in the global telecommunications industry.
Then, the Americans began to use underhanded tactics. They arrested the company's president and kept him in prison for many years. In the end, to regain his freedom, he was forced to plead guilty to several trumped-up charges of commercial bribery.
However, even after pleading guilty, he was not immediately released. Instead, the US used these confessions as evidence to impose a fine of tens of billions of US dollars on the company.
Ultimately, this French telecommunications giant was dismembered and then acquired by American companies.
Similarly, in the 1980s, Japanese semiconductor giants faced the same fate. At that time, Japan was a leader in the semiconductor industry, seriously threatening American interests. Thus, the US enacted relevant laws to suppress Japanese semiconductor companies, and they have not recovered to this day.
Chinese enterprises have also encountered the shameless actions of Americans, frequently being labeled as threats to national security, with investments worth billions being confiscated without hesitation.
A few years ago, a senior executive of a Chinese telecommunications giant, who was also the daughter of the company's owner, almost suffered the same treatment as Wang Qing Tian. It was only through government intervention that Ms. Meng was able to return to China.
"The immediate priority is to notify the embassy and negotiate with the United States and the Maple Leaf Country to prevent my father-in-law from being extradited to the United States.
Once he arrives in the US, who knows what sinister methods those Americans might use," Ling Tian said.
"We have already done that. The embassy has lodged a protest and is in negotiations," Wang Bing Xia replied.
"Good, then it's settled. I will fly to the United States immediately, and Aurora will go to the Maple Leaf Country. She has considerable connections there.
Bing Xia, you stay and manage the situation, but from now on, you must stay by Cai Feng's side at all times. I am worried that someone might target you."
Wang Bing Xia bit her lip and nodded. She understood now that with Ling Tian here, she had a pillar of support. Moreover, even if she went to the US or the Maple Leaf Country, she wouldn't be able to do much.
Just then, Wang Bing Xia's assistant suddenly knocked and entered the conference room.
"Bing Xia, there's a lawyer from the United States who wants to see you. He says he wants to talk about Chairman Wang's matter!"
Wang Bing Xia quickly looked at Ling Tian, who nodded calmly.
"Then let's meet him and see what he's up to!"
About ten minutes later, in the reception room of Bing Tian Pharmaceutical's Beijing headquarters, Wang Bing Xia and the other two met the visitor, an American in his 40s.
The man wore glasses, was tall, and had the air of a white elite. Beside him was a Chinese woman, who appeared to be a translator.
Behind the man were two burly men, one white and one black, who were clearly bodyguards.
On Wang Bing Xia's side, Zhang Cai Feng stayed close by her. Ling Tian had also disguised himself, appearing as an unremarkable junior clerk, holding a notebook as if to take meeting minutes, looking like a junior assistant.
During these ten minutes, Ling Tian had not been idle. He had transmitted the visitor's name to Yan Yu Ge, who quickly sent back the intelligence.
The person sent by Gustav Pharmaceutical Group this time was named Matthias Gustav, a well-known lawyer in the United States and a rising star in politics.
His uncle was none other than Senator Boris Gustav.
When Matthias saw Wang Bing Xia and Zhang Cai Feng, he was stunned by their beauty. A hint of greed even flickered in his eyes. These two women were truly stunning!
"What brings you here?" Wang Bing Xia asked in fluent English.
Matthias Gustav was also surprised by this. He smiled and said, "I didn't expect Ms. Wang's English to be so good. That's wonderful, we don't need a translator to communicate, which will be much smoother.
Let me be direct. I am here regarding the case of Mr. Wang Qing Shan stealing my company's confidential information!"
Wang Bing Xia slammed the table and stood up abruptly.
"This is slander, pure and simple slander! We at Bing Tian Pharmaceutical have always operated legally. All our products are independently developed, with complete intellectual property rights!
Moreover, our products are all traditional Chinese medicines. How could we possibly steal your formulas!"
Matthias maintained a smile, but his gaze was fixed on Wang Bing Xia. He felt that Wang Bing Xia was provoked, which was precisely his objective.
