Chapter 16 Hedgehog

The first thing the new commander wanted to do was to use "long-arm jurisdiction" to detain the executives of [Chaoqun Group] on trumped-up charges.

What is [Long Arm Jurisdiction]?

The United States’ long-arm jurisdiction dates back to Washington State v. International Shoe Co.

The defendant in this case, International Shoe Company, claimed that the company's main place of business is Missouri, that it has neither a fixed place of business nor commercial activities in Washington State, and that it only employs more than a dozen sales personnel in Washington State, and that the courts in Washington State do not have jurisdiction over it. .

The judge in this case, Chief Justice Stone of the Supreme Court of the United States, changed the precedent of personal jurisdiction in the past and determined that the fact that the International Shoe Company had interstate commerce could not exempt it from the obligation to pay the unemployment benefit fund of Washington State employees.

The Supreme Court ultimately adopted Stone's opinion: A court can exercise personal jurisdiction over an out-of-state defendant as long as the defendant has some "minimum connection" to the court's jurisdiction to proceed with the lawsuit and exercise jurisdiction. Since then, the jurisprudence of long-arm jurisdiction has been established.

After years of development, the law of long-arm jurisdiction has been established in many states in the United States. In addition, the maritime law system is different from the civil law system and has never strictly distinguished between civil and criminal matters. The law of long-arm jurisdiction has expanded from the above-mentioned civil origins. to the criminal realm.

In the 1970s, overseas corruption was prevalent in the United States. Many American companies bribed political figures in other countries, which led to many scandals of power-for-money transactions between American political circles and overseas companies and governments.

Taking this opportunity, the beautiful country promulgated the "Foreign Corruption Act" and promoted the signing of the international "Convention against Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions", so that the beautiful country can use the "big banner" of anti-corruption to investigate Any company involved that has “some minimal connection with the beautiful country”.

Since then, the tentacles of long-arm jurisdiction have extended from the United States to the world, and have since expanded in areas such as anti-terrorism legislation and national security legislation (such as the Patriot Act), which has become a symbol of the United States’ judicial hegemony.

The so-called "minimum connection" mentioned above even includes situations where transactions are conducted in U.S. dollars and the servers and data storage used are in beautiful countries.

As an indispensable giant in world trade, such regulations are undoubtedly "convenient" for the beautiful country. The so-called long-arm jurisdiction has become a borderless jurisdiction, which is actually a form of hegemony under the guise of law.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …

For example, [Chaoqun Group] receives US dollars in international trade.

This means that the beautiful country can convict [Chaoqun Group], initiate sanctions against [Chaoqun Group], and arrest [Chaoqun Group] executives suddenly and within its sphere of influence if necessary.

What the new commander means is that even if Wu Siyuan cannot be deceived, arresting other executives of [Chaoqun Group] will put strong pressure on him and give him an advantage in subsequent negotiations.

In other words, even if you don’t have a bargaining chip, you still have to create one!

But it was discovered upon investigation.

Although [Chaoqun Group] has a lot of international business, it rarely sends senior executives on business trips.

It seems that he has been on guard against Meiliguo's move for a long time.

At most there are some middle managers.

What’s the use of catching middle managers?

And he also learned from Wu Ming.

Beautiful Country wants to sanction certain businesses of [Chaoqun Group] to make [Chaoqun Group] compromise.

But their base is in China.

There are only two types of business internationally.

One is the [smart fitting room] service provided to major e-commerce companies.

One is to export [Snow Banana] and related products.

[Snow Banana] is impossible to sanction.

This thing has been proven by more and more scientists to have a good effect in improving the body's immunity, and has a good alleviation and treatment effect on some patients with moderate to severe cases caused by viral intrusion.

If consumed for a long time, it has significant health benefits.

Due to the current limited production, the supply of this product exceeds the demand, and the price is very high internationally. Basically, only the wealthy class can enjoy it without any burden.

[Xue Jiao] In the current environment, just like oil, there is no need to worry about buyers.

If sanctions are really necessary, not to mention that they are ineffective, the opposition from the wealthy people in the country alone is enough to drink up the new leader's team.

Since [Chaoqun Group]’s Xuejiao products cannot be sanctioned, can the [Smart Fitting Room] services it provides to major e-commerce companies be sanctioned on the grounds of endangering national security?

Just say that it collects a large amount of user privacy and may leak national security!

This was the reason why Beautiful Country and Tianzhu Country sanctioned [Douyin].

However, beautiful country’s e-commerce companies and clothing companies have all jumped out to oppose it.

Because the emergence of [smart fitting rooms] has stimulated consumers’ shopping desire, allowing them to achieve double-digit growth rates.

Once the [Smart Fitting Room] service of [Chaoqun Group] is sanctioned, it will not only have a serious impact on performance, but also cause the e-commerce companies in the beautiful country to lose opportunities in international competition.

Obviously, you don’t use it, but e-commerce companies in other countries do.

The beautiful country cannot ban all countries, and all e-commerce companies do not use the [Smart Fitting Room] of [Chaoqun Group].

As consumers become accustomed to this product, they will vote with their feet.

As for market share, once it is lost, it will cost a lot more to get it back.

This is not a matter of market competition, but a political struggle.

Besides, if you sanction someone else’s [Smart Fitting Room], you may not be able to kill them.

But if you did the first year of junior high school, don’t think that others didn’t do the fifteenth year.

The intelligence department of the beautiful country has analyzed Wu Siyuan, the leader of the [Super Group]. From his series of actions, it can be seen that he is a low-key person, but he will never swallow his words.

Wu Siyuan, or Hua Guo, will definitely counterattack, and it is very likely that he will use [Snow Banana] to counterattack.

And can the beautiful country bear this price?

The pressure from the big bourgeoisie will definitely come to the new leader.

These people are the big benefactors of the new leader's political party.

It must not be offended easily.

Therefore, the new ruling team of the beautiful country discussed and negotiated left and right. Under the circumstances of many concerns, they actually found that there was nothing they could do about [Chaoqun Group].

[Super Group] is like a hedgehog, making it difficult for people to start.

The new commander was so angry that he almost suffered from Alzheimer's disease.

Finally, the team led by Meili Guoxin, after carefully studying the business of [Chaoqun Group], finally found a place where they could dig a hole for [Chaoqun Group].
