Chapter 3571 Infighting
"Why was my boyfriend denied a visa?" Avril Lavigne banged on the desk of the Los Angeles Immigration Bureau.
The office staff of the Immigration Bureau had a dark look on their face. Today was originally a good day, the clouds were calm and nothing happened, which was a very good thing for the Immigration Bureau. Normally, we don’t go here every day to check illegal immigrants.
I am very busy searching for illegal workers everywhere. It is really a pleasure to be able to relax like today without the phone ringing.
But as it turned out, it was almost time to get off work, and a group of women rushed in and slapped the table. You could say they were angry, but when they saw who the person who slapped the table was, they were a little stupid.
Avril! This little punk princess, the CEO of ‘Second Entertainment’, and Jessica, the Hollywood sex goddess, and Natalie Portman, the ‘Queen of the Stars’, God, why are they coming here with such force!
After finally waiting for the staff to do something, he started to sweat profusely. Lin Feng was refused a visa! They didn’t know this!
"Wait, wait for me to check!" The staff member's forehead was sweating.
Lin Feng built a "Windy City" on the outskirts of Los Angeles. This has long been a hot topic in Los Angeles. Every day, many Los Angeles citizens drive to the "Windy City" to watch the construction progress. You know, everyone is aware of this.
He is a builder of a city, but the changes in urban construction are slow. No one can feel the sudden changes of a city. But now, in this 'Windy City', the changes are happening every day, which makes the citizens of Los Angeles extremely
happy.
They were pleasantly surprised that they could witness a miracle in the history of architecture. They were pleasantly surprised that after the Windy City was built, they would have another place to visit, and they were also pleasantly surprised that Los Angeles' economy would get better and better.
As an investor in "Windy City", Lin Feng is naturally a distinguished guest of the Los Angeles City Government. Lin Feng built "Windy City" on the outskirts of Los Angeles. Regardless of whether he did it to compete with Hollywood, he brought huge economic benefits to Los Angeles.
Effect. Although most of its workers are Chinese and only a few Americans, these workers eat and drink at the farmers market in Los Angeles to buy agricultural products. Moreover, these workers occasionally come to Los Angeles. They also buy a large amount of items and take them back to their families.
.
Of course, in addition to these, there are also a large amount of tax revenue, as well as a large number of jobs created in the future and direct and indirect economic benefits. Under these factors, the mayor of Los Angeles is very fond of Lin Feng and has spoken out in public many times.
He expressed his support for Lin Feng. At this time, if Lin Feng is denied a visa, the mayor of Los Angeles will probably be furious.
"How's it going? What's the reason?" Avril asked unhappily after waiting for a few minutes.
"This, this, this" the staff was speechless.
He has found out the reason, but the reason cannot be announced to the outside world. Lin Feng's visa refusal file states that the authority is not enough. Yes, it means insufficient authority. What does this mean that the authority is not enough? According to their internal jargon, that is what they
The level is low, and ordinary staff are not qualified to inquire about the reasons for Lin Feng's visa refusal. Obviously, Lin Feng's refusal this time was the intention of the higher-ups. Since it was the intention of the higher-ups, they could not intervene.
"Tell me! Why was my boyfriend denied a visa?" Avril said dissatisfied.
The staff looked depressed. How could he explain this? This was obviously the intention of the higher-ups, and he couldn't interfere, and he couldn't say the reason.
"I'm sorry, I can't answer this question because I don't have enough authority!" The staff member could only tell the truth. He is just a small employee. You are a big star. If you are angry, don't trouble yourself. "About this matter. I
If I really can’t help you, you can go to the mayor!”
Find the mayor!
Avril frowned. Is this effective? Jessica and others looked at each other and nodded. In any case, Lin Feng was denied a visa. As the largest investor in Los Angeles this year, if he was denied a visa and could not come to the United States, then the mayor of Los Angeles would have reason to be responsible.
.I don’t say that we must let Lin Feng enter the United States immediately, but we must at least find out why Lin Feng was refused a visa.
The mayor of Los Angeles is Antonio Villaraigosa. He was born in 1953 in a poor Mexican immigrant family in east Los Angeles. He was a child who grew up in a poor family. Through his own efforts and work-study, he eventually became a
In 2004, he defeated Hahn, who came from a white political family. He not only became the first Hispanic mayor of Los Angeles in more than 130 years, but also became the first candidate in 32 years to unseat a mayor who was running for re-election.
Mayor Villaraigosa is a mayor who speaks for the poor. He is also a mayor who speaks for minorities and disadvantaged groups.
"What, Lin Feng was refused a visa?" Villaraigosa frowned. When he met Avril and the others, he originally thought they had some new performing arts activities that needed support from the city government. Unexpectedly, it was because Lin Feng was refused a visa.
Villaraigosa was also extremely surprised by this question.
Lin Feng was refused a visa! Oh my god, how could Lin Feng be refused a visa? This is incredible!
"Don't worry, wait, let me find out." Villaraigosa immediately called the immigration office.
As the mayor of Los Angeles, he naturally has greater authority and knows more things. He soon learned that this was the reason for the ban on Lin Feng's U.S. visa issued by the top government officials, namely Secretary of State Rice.
Lin Feng was refused permission to travel to the United States because Rice signed a document concluding that Lin Feng might endanger U.S. national security.
"Mayor Villaraigosa, what's the reason?" Avril asked hurriedly.
Mayor Villaraigosa frowned. This issue is a bit tricky. It is related to the national security of the United States, and it is difficult for him to express any opinions in it, especially when it involves Secretary of State Rice. After all, he is only a mayor and has no power.
Limited, it is impossible to determine whether Lin Feng will actually endanger U.S. national security.
"Don't worry, I'll make some more phone calls." Mayor Villaraigosa said in a deep voice.
Subsequently, Mayor Villaraigosa called the governor of California, where Los Angeles belongs. Of course, the governor of California is also an old acquaintance of Lin Feng and the former superstar Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Singh.
"What? Lin Feng was denied a visa?" Schwarzenegger was also stunned. He didn't expect Lin Feng to be denied a visa. This was so surprising.
"Governor, now Lin Feng's girlfriend Avril and the others have come to me to complain and ask for an explanation. What I understand is that Secretary of State Rice personally issued a document and concluded that Lin Feng may endanger the national security of the United States, so he was refused a visa to land.
America," Mayor Villaraigosa whispered.
Regarding this issue, it was related to the Secretary of State and might involve the national interests of the United States, so Villaraigosa hid in his study and made a phone call.
"Okay, I understand. I'll go find out." Schwarzenegger nodded and hung up the phone.
Secretary of State Rice! Schwarzenegger has had several contacts with this powerful woman. Not to be trifled with! This is his opinion of Rice. This time Rice personally signed the document denying Lin Feng a visa, even though it was said that
Lin Feng may endanger the national security of the United States, but as far as Schwarzenegger is concerned, this is impossible. Lin Feng is just a businessman! He is not a terrorist, how could he endanger the national security of the United States? I am afraid, under what circumstances did Lin Feng offend?
Secretary Rice.
"Hi, Lin, I heard that you were refused a visa!" Schwarzenegger called Lin Feng.
"Ah, yes, no, I was ordered to return home immediately. I'm waiting on the plane!" Lin Feng shrugged.
"Lin, I heard that Secretary of State Rice personally issued an order to deny you a visa on the grounds that you may endanger national public security. Why, you and Rice have a conflict? Do you want me to mediate it for you?
Otherwise, it’s not a big deal that you can’t come to the United States!” Schwarzenegger said with a smile.
"Hey, that old maid doesn't have any grudge against me, but it's because of the Libyan incident! I just invested there, but she objected. She wants me to withdraw my investment, otherwise I won't be allowed to land in the United States again. What do you think?
, is there such an outrageous woman?" Lin Feng shrugged and said disdainfully.
Old maid! Wife! Schwarzenegger was very happy after hearing this. He was not too cold about Rice. A woman is so strong that many men cannot stand up to her. Why do you think women should be so strong?
"You said you invested in Libya and were rejected by that old woman?" Schwarzenegger laughed and then fell into deep thought. He has also heard about the Libyan issue, which is indeed related to the national interests of the United States. However, the U.S. government has recently reconciled with Libya.
Moreover, the EU and Libya have recently cooperated at various levels, and the relationship between Africa and Libya has been extremely harmonious recently. At this time, it is normal for Lin Feng to invest, and it is no big deal.
"Well, I'll go talk to the president. Just wait for my good news!" Schwarzenegger hung up the phone after saying that. Then he turned around and hung up the phone to President Bush.
"President Bush, I am Schwarzenegger!" Schwarzenegger said solemnly.
Bush frowned. This person should have come to serve as Lin Feng's lobbyist. Bush was not surprised that Schwarzenegger became Lin Feng's lobbyist. Schwarzenegger is the governor of California, and Los Angeles is in California. Lin Feng's investment
Hundreds of billions of US dollars are in Los Angeles, and this visa was rejected in Los Angeles. Schwarzenegger is working as a lobbyist. It is normal.
"Governor Schwarzenegger, why don't you come to see me today?" Bush laughed.
"President Bush, I just want to ask why our best foreign investors and big taxpayers in California cannot apply for a U.S. visa? Are you suppressing our California?" Schwarzenegger started to accuse.
