Chapter 530 What is the collusion between officials and businessmen?

Pierre Dupont was hit by two blows, and only now can he feel a little bit that in the field of collusion between government and businessmen, the Dupont family is not invincible in the United States.

Of course not, it’s just that Sheffield United didn’t have this opportunity before. If nothing else, the patience of following the Democratic Party for 12 years is already beyond compare. Fortunately, the 12 years of ups and downs are worth it.

, the slave owners made such a request without kidnapping the Democrats with emotions and money. How could the federal government not comply with it?

Before the Supreme Court opened the trial proceedings, President Alton Parker expressed through some dung-pickers that he would pay enough attention to this shocking case to ensure that justice was done.

First setting the tone that this is a shocking and major case, and then hoping that justice will be done. This subtle rhetoric pattern has already shown that this president attaches great importance to this case, and it also guides the direction of the case.

There is another factor that many people have to pay attention to. You must know that Alton Parker used to be a respected judge and he can be regarded as an expert in the legal field. Now the president has a certain tendency towards this case, which will cause

The effect was huge, and some Republicans said it was inappropriate for the president to express his stance at this time.

This argument immediately aroused the rebuttal of Democratic congressmen, "President Roosevelt liked to express his stance on antitrust law cases, and even publicly hoped that public opinion would be on his side. Compared with President Roosevelt, President Alton Parker's stance was considered

Very restrained. In fact, from a professional perspective, as a former judge, it is not impossible for President Alton Parker to try the case himself if he spares some time."

The rebuttal of the Democratic congressmen is of course unreasonable. How can a president directly hear a case? Where does this place the authority of the Supreme Court?

But from another perspective, the emergence of this kind of remarks is also a warning, that is, the current president is a legal expert and can clearly judge the direction and outcome of the case. The consequence is that the Supreme Court cannot play a careless eye in this case.

, made an incredible verdict.

This day is definitely a good day for Sheffield, as both her partner Sato Kiko and the bodyguards all know. The slave owner got up early to pack his bags and put on his clothes for formal occasions.

The top hat is no longer as casual as it was in New Orleans.

The long-cherished wish of many years may have a good result, and it is not too much to dress up. Thinking of the possible misery on the other side, Sheffield could no longer suppress the raised corners of his mouth.

In the political system of the United States, one president cannot do anything to another governor. The president is elected by the citizens of the country, and the governor is elected by the citizens of the state. Both represent public opinion, so they are naturally equal.

But strictly speaking from a legal perspective, the Supreme Court can interfere with local state laws, but the triggering conditions are quite high, and generally it cannot be done. But if it can be done, it can be done, right or wrong.

Also simple and clear.

For example, during the Cold War, the Supreme Court forcibly lifted the state laws of southern states that restricted black people. As a result, a large number of southern voters fell into the arms of the Republican Party, turning the state from a deep blue state into a deep red state.

This incident fully proves that sometimes, even the law can be interpreted at will, just to see if it is worth it.

"Okay, I'll wait for you here." Kiko Sato put on a tie for Sheffield and said obediently. She knew that the Supreme Court of the United States was a very symbolic place and she might not be able to go there.

"Let's go together!" Sheffield's answer was concise and concise. What can't we go? That's someone else who can't go. Walking out of the temporary hotel, the slave owner said with great pride, "I am stronger than the Dupont family in terms of scale, financial resources and public opinion."

, together with the president, the Ministry of Justice, the Supreme Court, and Congress are all my people, what can he use to fight me?"

Is it worth doing this? At least the slave owner himself feels that this matter is very worthwhile. What is the most important weapon of the country? In fact, it is just such a few fields, among which the value of military industry to a country is unshakable.

Even ten Internet giants cannot exchange for Lockheed Martin. If you want to gain a firm foothold in the military industry in the future, you should first lay a solid foundation now, starting with the DuPont family.

As a successful businessman, if you want to make money successfully, you must first learn to spend money. How to spend money at what moment and in what manner? This is something worth studying, so even if Sheffield

Even when the Democratic Party was at its lowest ebb, she never gave up just so that she could be proud today.

How difficult is it to hold the hand of a Japanese girl and enter the Supreme Court? Which federal law stipulates that you cannot bring a Japanese girl into the Supreme Court? The first rule of the wealth code of the United States is that as long as the law does not say this

If one is breaking the law, then all of them are legal. Even if it is illegal, just do it!

"Konstantinovich!" Sheffield shook the Assistant Attorney General's hand familiarly, "It's been several years since you left Texas. We always thought you would go further and further away, and now you are

Assistant Attorney General, it’s amazing.”

"William, I knew you would think of something on this occasion." Looking away from the Japanese girl, Konstantinovich joked, "Anne might be angry if you do this."

"No, my wife is very knowledgeable." Sheffield waved his hand and told the other party not to make random guesses about a rich man's family life, because you can't guess the happiness of a rich man even if you want to.

Some people always think that Sheffield is only superficially happy, comforting themselves with the nonsense that with great power comes great responsibility. How could this be true? Others can’t even imagine the happiness of a slave owner. It only occurs a few days before and after a woman gives birth.

During this period, he could briefly think of his responsibilities, but other times he didn't at all.

The two of them exchanged a set of offense and defense, which showed that they had known each other for a long time. In fact, as soon as I heard Konstantinovich's name, I knew that this name, which is obviously from Eastern Europe, has a high probability of being Texas.

Today, when the fate of the Dupont family is being decided, the two met again and seemed very familiar with each other. At this moment, the scene in front of them fell into the eyes of a balding middle-aged man, Pierre Dupont!

Almost at the same time, Konstantinovich also saw another client, raising his head slightly in the direction of Pierre Dupont, allowing Sheffield to also see the other client.

This was very embarrassing. How could such collusion between government and businessmen be exposed to the world? Everyone was doing it secretly. Sheffield felt that he was a little complacent. He reached out and patted Konstantinovich on the shoulder.

Holding Kiko Sato's arm, she walked into the Supreme Court.

"That old man is the boss of DuPont!?" Kiko Sato asked in a low voice.

"Yes, the one with the shiny forehead and not much hair is the one, but he is just one of the bosses. The Dupont family is a prosperous family, unlike our family. No one will compete with me. When the time comes, we will have more children.

It's not like we can't afford to change this situation." Sheffield lowered his head and flirted with the Japanese girl in the solemn Supreme Court. The slave owner felt that his son could completely replace MacArthur and become the Emperor of Japan. What's wrong with this?

Why doesn't it work?

Sheffield arrived earlier. In fact, not long after he came in, the excrement collectors gathered as if they smelled excrement. Today's trial is the first major unfair competition case involving antitrust laws since the Democratic Party came to power.

The lawsuit reached the Supreme Court, which was considered a landmark event.

The people paying attention are not just the excrement workers, but also the business giants who were not present. Ordinary citizens are also paying attention to the results.

At ten o'clock, all nine justices arrived and began the trial. After some necessary formalism to reflect the solemnity, the trial began. There were many main prosecutions, but the main ones were two. The Dupont family

Involving unfair competition cases and a series of corruption cases in Delaware.

The latter includes manipulating parliament to pass a tax cut bill, and a series of branch litigation, corruption and economic cases derived from it.

Pierre Dupont was sitting in the dock, seemingly aware that someone was paying attention to him. Pierre Dupont turned his head and met Sheffield's meaningful gaze. Their eyes met, and the slave owner smiled evilly.

There is a hint of provocation in it.

Assistant Attorney General Konstantinovich read out the lawsuit against the DuPont Consortium, arguing that the fact that the DuPont family constituted unfair competition under a series of obvious evidences and manipulated the state of Delaware nine years ago has become very obvious.

In the tax reduction bill of Parliament, improper purposes were achieved through bribery and coercion.

"To sum up, the DuPont family has long threatened competitors, competed through transportation networks and kickbacks, and put competitors into a disadvantageous position." Konstantinovich read loudly, "and the fact of manipulating parliament

, which shocked the investigators. After a long and rigorous investigation by the Ministry of Justice, we now have multiple pieces of evidence to support this lawsuit."

The entire court was in silence, with only Konstantinovich's voice echoing. Sheffield leaned on his chair with a smile on his face and smiled lightly. What is collusion between government and business?
