#642 - Chapter 642: Robbery is illegal in any country! Go to jail or sign an agreement?
What kind of business negotiation is this?
It's practically treason!
North American economy, resources, and the internet will all have their throats held by Huaxia. Once Huaxia makes things difficult in these areas, North America will suffer a fatal blow—more severe than the current internal and external troubles.
By then, they won't even know how they died!
Cannot agree!
Cannot sign!
"No more talk!"
Donald's face was stern, and he stood up without hesitation: "Let's go!"
Leave?
Chen Hao smiled.
He clapped his hands.
Suddenly!
A group of special police rushed in, surrounding the conference room, their guns pointed at Donald.
"What are you doing?!"
Donald exclaimed in anger: "Chen Hao, you've really gone mad! As the North American Secretary of Commerce, and the North American representative for this negotiation, you can't possibly think… that just because the negotiation failed, you can take action against me, right?!"
In war, envoys are not to be killed.
Moreover, although Huaxia and North America are not friendly, they have not reached the point of war.
The other party is representing North America in trade negotiations as the Secretary of Commerce. You're going to arrest people because you can't reach an agreement?
Firstly.
It doesn't hold up legally.
Secondly.
North America will be driven crazy, okay?
They might fight you to the death!
Do you really think those thousands of nuclear warheads are just for show?
"Mr. Donald, what are you talking about?"
Chen Hao shrugged: "What does this have to do with the negotiation? Even if you are the North American Secretary of Commerce, representing North America in negotiations, you can't violate the law, right? Now, we are investigating your illegal activities."
"Illegal? When did I break the law?!" Donald was furious.
"In any country, robbery is against the law!"
"Who robbed?!"
"You, and your wife."
The next moment.
The police escorted the old woman in.
It was Donald's wife!
Executives from Bulgari headquarters in Italy arrived overnight.
As well as several internationally certified appraisers.
…
Broadband and cameras are common in big cities.
How could this newly built high-end shopping mall not have cameras installed?
Moreover…
Chen Hao secretly recorded it!
"Mr. Chen!"
The executive from Bulgari headquarters, who took a special plane overnight, said in a deep voice: "This necklace is priced at 32,000 euros in Europe, and 159,000 in the Huaxia region—I have all the evidence here!"
Germany was the first to lean towards Huaxia, and then France proposed in-depth cooperation, and Germany even beat up the Netherlands.
As a famous opportunist…
Italy leaned towards Huaxia as soon as the Netherlands was beaten.
As you can imagine.
Even their own country is already acting as a subordinate to Huaxia. As an Italian luxury goods company, would Bulgari not fully cooperate?
"After appraisal, we believe that the most expensive part of this necklace is the main diamond, which has a market price of at least 20,000 Huaxia currency." Several appraisal experts also gave their conclusions.
Damn!
Chen Hao looked at the Bulgari executive in surprise.
Damn…
The most expensive part of the entire necklace is that main diamond, with a market price of only 20,000 Huaxia currency.
Note!
It's the market price!
But the necklace sells for 159,000.
So-called luxury brands are really black!
Of course, this is not important.
"Ms. Sunny paid $100 and forcibly took the necklace—the necklace is priced at 159,000!"
"Based on the video footage, it meets all the conditions for robbery!"
The police gave their conclusion.
Is there a more perfect chain of evidence than this?
The evidence is irrefutable!
Immediately afterwards, Chen Hao finally spoke, sneering at the old woman: "According to Huaxia's criminal law, the judgment of robbery is related to the value of the item. The selling price of the item is as high as hundreds of thousands, I think… it should be sentenced to several years, right?"
He said it in English, so the other party could of course understand.
"You can't arrest me!"
"I am the wife of the North American Secretary of Commerce!"
"I have diplomatic immunity!"
The old woman screamed in horror.
She originally thought that her husband's status could solve the problem, but as soon as she heard about being sentenced to prison, she immediately wailed like a ghost.
"Diplomatic immunity?"
Slap!
Chen Hao slapped her directly: "This is Huaxia!"
"Robbery in Huaxia, don't even mention the wife of the Secretary of Commerce, even if your president comes, he'll still go to jail!"
The old woman was stunned by the slap, standing there motionless.
Donald gritted his teeth, glared at his wife fiercely, and then glared at Chen Hao: "Then handle it according to your country's laws—let's go!"
Chen Hao was slightly stunned.
No effect?
Alright!
"Arrest them all!" he shouted.
"Chen Hao! What are you relying on…"
"Relying on what?"
Before Donald could finish speaking, Chen Hao looked at the Bulgari salesperson: "Excuse me, when someone forcibly took away your valuable jewelry at an extremely low price, why didn't you immediately take it back?"
"She said… her husband was the North American Secretary of Commerce, and said they were here for negotiations in Huaxia…"
"Yes! How could we afford to offend them? They have bodyguards!"
"Her husband was also there, so many important people…"
"We didn't dare!"
The salesperson explained cautiously.
Chen Hao asked the North American side to translate these words and tell them to Donald.
Then, in Donald's horrified eyes, he sneered: "Do you understand? Your wife used your identity to intimidate, and you and your entourage and bodyguards were all at the scene at the time."
"Because of you, the salesperson didn't dare to take it back, in essence, you are all accomplices."
"Or rather, your wife is the principal offender, and you are all accessories!"
"None of you can escape, wait to go to jail!"
"Arrest them!"
Donald was directly scared out of his wits.
What the other party said did make sense. If it was only his wife alone, it would be impossible to easily take the necklace away for $100.
So…
They are accomplices, right?
Are they accessories?
For the benefit of North America, and to fulfill the president's instructions, he can disregard his wife's life and death and let her accept Huaxia's punishment.
But!
He himself, and even the entire negotiating delegation, have all become accessories without exception.
Then what?
Collective arrest, trial, imprisonment?!
"Chen Hao… no! Mr. Chen, what… what exactly do you want to do?!" Donald panicked, outwardly stern but inwardly weak.
"Either, according to Huaxia's laws, you all go to jail together."
The coldness on his face disappeared in the next moment, and Chen Hao said with a smile: "Or, according to the conditions I said before, let's sign the trade agreement."
Since you are partners, why would you need to go to jail?
"You… you…"
Donald's chest heaved.
The hand pointing at Chen Hao was trembling.
But he knew that he had no choice!
If the entire delegation is collectively charged with robbery and imprisoned in Huaxia…
Not only will North America lose face?
The point is.
As the North American Secretary of Commerce, he cannot bear to be imprisoned—especially in Huaxia!
Ten minutes later.
Thick documents were placed in front of Donald.
Chen Hao handed the pen over and walked to a corner not far away, dialing a number: "It's done according to your plan… um…"
Vague.
But!
It was enough for the North American delegation's translator to hear.
Adding this detail is mainly to make the other party think that everything he has done is under the command of someone above—it is the layout of some high-level officials, it has nothing to do with him, Chen Hao, he doesn't understand conspiracy.
After he finished the phone call and returned, Donald stood up with a gloomy face: "It's signed!"
