Chapter 858
I’m really a little flustered. Both Sloan and Goodman have repeatedly confessed that contempt of congressmen and perjury at congressional hearings are both felonies. Historically, lying on this occasion is like a crucian carp, but don’t get caught. one is right.
In short, don't put down too much porcelain, if you don't leave a way out.
"My question is very simple. Do you admit that you once sold chemical technology that was not allowed to be sold to Huaguo? You have Chinese descent, right, Mr. Song." Dan Burton pressed on step by step.
"I have no recollection of that, MP."
Admitting is not enough, denying also needs to be strategic. Sloan joined the team late, and Song Ya would not take the initiative to tell her that Linda and Hamlin probably knew a part of it. Deman, and Goodman has always been afraid of going to court, it is a pity that he did not accompany him this time, "Yes, I have Chinese descent."
He looked to Hamlin beside him for help.
Hamlin wrote one word on the pad in front of him, 'Never mind. '
"Let me help you recall, this is another testimony I have. An engineer who was in charge of the relocation of the Bahn Chemical Plant in Huaguo testified. He saw the use of technologies that should not appear on the transaction list. In the new factory." Dan Burton conjured another document and showed it to the excited reporters to take pictures, "He took this photo, and your relative Song Asheng received a very grand reception there..."
"Uh, Song Asheng is not my relative..."
Song Ya finally caught a loophole in the other party, "Let's put it this way, Bahn Company no longer belongs to me. It was resold to Dow Chemicals on January 1, 1994. After that, I held a small amount of Dow shares. And endorsement of their fluorescent stick products, all business activities have nothing to do with me."
Hamlin clenched his fists and coughed lightly.
Am I wrong? Song Ya reacted quickly, "My Chinese origin has nothing to do with this matter at all. I oppose all forms of presumption of guilt based on official ethnic origin. This is discrimination."
Hamlin coughed again.
"Well, I was summoned by the House of Representatives to attend a hearing on legislation related to the telecommunications industry. The sale of Bahn Chemicals does not seem to be related to the subject of this hearing. I did not prepare for it. about it, Mr. Senator."
After saying this, Goodman stopped coughing, but Dan Burton refused to let it go. He sneered and teased, "Your lawyer seems to have a lot to say, Mr. Song, don't worry. After today, you have a lot to say." Take the time to chat, I promise."
"Mr. Burton..." Nancy Patricia seemed ready to help.
"Absolutely, Alexander Song, this person you call APLUS now controls a media group, a, or a 24-hour news station that will be launched in the evening. Our telecommunications bill must take into account national security and must not Allowing the media to be in the hands of traitors," Dumbleton replied.
There was a commotion in the audience again, people whispered to each other, the shutter sound and the flash continued, Song Ya noticed that the PBS cameraman in front of him was adjusting the aperture to him, and he should be recording a close-up of facial expressions.
"Treason!? Haha, what are you talking about, Dan." The black caucus breaks in.
"Shu Qing, please maintain discipline, ladies and gentlemen, return to your seats." Nancy Patricia tapped the table with a small hammer.
Song Ya spread her five fingers slightly, covered the microphone, and turned her head towards Hamlin in the chaos, which was a signal to consult whether to use the Fifth Amendment.
"NO!" Hamlin resolutely resolutely said in a low voice, "Drag it over and never admit it."
"There are still 20 minutes for the break." Sloan said behind his back.
"Please continue, Congressman Burton." Nancy Patricia and the others said that the scene fell silent again.
"Mr. Song, do you admit that when you owned Bahn Chemical, you ordered the then general manager of the company to provide the banned factory information to Huaguo Enterprises, yes, or no." Dan Burton said: "It's a very simple question, It's not hard to answer, right?"
"First of all, I was only eighteen years old, and most of my energy was spent traveling around the world to promote my records. Second, I still had a very heavy coursework at the time, and I entered the University of Chicago to study..."
Procrastination is easy to handle. In fact, procrastination is a major feature of parliamentary politics. It is very useful to delay the voting schedule and make trouble for the opponent. The classic black and white film Mr. Smith has seen in Washington is very detailed and vivid. He said: "The thing is like this. At that time, I signed up for three courses. You may not know that my stage name APLUS comes from my nickname in high school. I got a full score of A+ in a certain math test... ..."
"You know, the professors at the University of Chicago are very picky about their grades. Our grade point average is far lower than some of the Ivy League universities. My grade point average in three courses is 3.67. Mr. Congressman, you should be able to You can imagine how hard I worked..."
"Don't dodge my questions," Dan Burton urged.
"I didn't, I said at the beginning that I really don't remember, but I can absolutely guarantee that I love my country, America, and I can't commit acts of treason..."
Song Ya continued: "My above statement is just to show my life at that time. I was very busy. At that time, my singing career was not as successful as it is now. I still have to go to school, and I don't know much about the chemical industry. God Ah! I was only eighteen years old..."
"I applied directly to the University of Chicago after taking the credits in the eleventh grade. I learned knowledge crazily in that institution..."
"The gentlemen in Washington may not know that I was born in the South Side of Chicago, where the African-American community is a corner that you have forgotten, the security, the quality of education..."
"Member Patricia, he is deliberately delaying time and contempt of Parliament." Dan Burton complained.
"I don't, I won't, but I really don't know how to answer this accusation of yours. I swear, I will never... er, never..."
'Subjective intention', Hamlin wrote another word.
"I will never sell prohibited technical materials based on subjective intentions. I am a layman, and I don't know much about that company. I became popular very quickly. You can imagine a sixteen or seven-year-old from the south side of Chicago. Will the boys do anything? Yes, crazy buying, I bought Bahn Chemicals with no knowledge of the chemical industry because its previous owner, Mr. Bahn Sr., happened to be at a dinner party sat next to me..."
"We got to know each other through this. He wanted to sell the factory, and I was looking for an investment target. It was as simple as that."
"Stop, let me interrupt you." Dan Burton smiled again, "I have a testimony from Mr. Edward, a Wall Street investor who is the manager of Bahn Chemicals. He said that you are very patient in the investment field, and you can even be called More insidious and cunning than most Wall Street professionals. You successfully managed the acquisition and spin-off of Warren Brothers Synthesizers prior to the acquisition of Bath Chemicals and are still doing very well. small company…”
Edward...
Damn it! Song Ya suppressed her urge to roll her eyes, and just changed the subject, "I know Edward, but I don't agree with what he said. He was just afraid that his own stupidity would be ridiculed by the whole Wall Street, so he made up such a story..."
"I'm just lucky. I'm sober. I'm just lucky. I've said this to the financial media a long time ago, 'I'm a pig on the wind'..."
Some of the audience laughed, and the atmosphere of the scene was relaxed. It seems that the effect of rambling is very good. He continued to explain the term, "The so-called outlet..."
"Please stop talking nonsense, you must respond to my question directly!" Dan Burton began to sulk.
"I responded positively. I don't remember. Even if I remembered, it was definitely not subjective. I even doubted whether it really happened. But based on my lawyer's previous suggestion, I can't give any negative comments at the hearing. Responsible answer..."
The nonsense made Song Ya calm down a lot, "I promise that I will interrogate and verify you, Mr. Burton's relevant allegations after the hearing, but what I want to explain here is: I am loyal to the United States..."
"you……"
What else did Dan Burton want to say, but the time was running out, Nancy Patricia tapped the small hammer, "Take a break, the hearing will continue in ten minutes."
