"I've been playing hawk all my life, only to be pecked in the eye by an eagle. People say Li Siwen is a business wizard and extremely smart, but compared to other foreigners, he's not even a bit inferior."

I don’t know who said something, but it seemed to resonate, and everyone felt sorry for it. After all, everyone understood that the Philips executives were clearly trying to bring down Li Siwen. As a Chinese, we sympathize with each other emotionally, but sympathy cannot change the status quo. After all, Li Siwen

Taking kickbacks is a sure thing.

"Comrade Cheng Yuan, please continue to state." Xue Gang spoke again.

"The investigation team interrogated Li Siwen overnight on May 9, but Li Siwen did not admit to taking kickbacks. Then from May 10 to May 19, we conducted surprise interrogations, but still no

progress.

During this period, we simultaneously summoned the 909 Project Hujiang Leading Group and the Electrical Engineering Department Leading Group many times, and the answers we obtained were basically consistent with the facts of the case.

These include Li Siwen meeting privately with senior executives of Samsung Group, organizing high-end dinners, purchasing production lines at prices much higher than the market price, and violating the 909 Project rules and regulations, exceeding the budget, and many other illegal operations.

These have all been confirmed.”

"Is there any more?" Xue Gang asked again.

"On June 3, after nearly a month of investigation and evidence collection, our investigation team in the Netherlands confirmed that Li Siwen's private account in the Netherlands was authentic. The amount involved was US$90 million. This huge sum of money has been frozen by the relevant Dutch authorities.

This is the entire process of the 909 Project corruption case. Because this case involves a huge amount of money and has extremely bad consequences, I suggest..."

Cheng Yuan glanced at Li Siwen, with some regret in his eyes. In fact, from his contact with Li Siwen during this period, he quite admired him, but the pressure from the hospital forced him to make the final decision.

"I recommend that Li Siwen be sentenced to life imprisonment."

After Cheng Yuan finished speaking, the scene instantly became quiet, and Zhou Wenjing almost fainted. Fortunately, Xu Weiwei was there to support her.

On the contrary, the members of the Liu family and the Zhou family raised the corners of their mouths at the same time, not to mention how arrogant and irritating they looked. Especially Zhou Feng, who did not forget to whisper proudly: "I must open two bottles of Maotai tonight to calm everyone's shock.

"

Xu Di and others felt extremely embarrassed when they heard this, and no one responded.

At the same time, Xue Gang, who was sitting next to the judge's table, said: "The entire process of the 909 Project corruption case has been stated. Is there anything the investigation team and working group witnesses need to add or have any objections to?"

Whoever dared to speak at this time lowered their heads. Xue Gang then looked at Li Siwen and said, "Now that the facts of the case are clear, let Li Siwen start his defense. Are you ready?"

"Okay." Li Siwen replied calmly.

"According to the rules and regulations of Project 909, it is clear that the amount of imported equipment is not allowed to exceed 40% of the total investment, which is four billion Chinese dollars. Do you know this rule?" Xue Gang asked, looking at the documents on the desktop.

"I know, Deputy City Xu and Minister Hu have reminded me many times." Li Siwen said.

"You only need to answer whether you know or don't know. There is no need to say anything else." Xue Gang said coldly.

"good."

"According to the rules and regulations of Project 909, it is clear that the negotiated price is not allowed to exceed 10% of the market price. Do you know?"

"Know."

"According to the rules and regulations of Project 909, it is clear that no connection with private accounts is allowed during the transaction process. Do you know?"

"Know."

Xue Gang turned over a page of documents and began to state: "It can be seen that Li Siwen is very familiar with the rules and regulations of the 909 Project. Even if he does not understand it, he will be reminded by the leadership group.

However, during the entire process, Li Siwen spent 8 billion Chinese coins, which was more than double the prescribed amount, and when introducing the Philips 0.2 micron chip production line, the negotiated price exceeded the market price by 50%, and in

Li Siwen did not lower the price during the negotiation process.

As for the payment process, as Comrade Cheng Yuan said, two accounts were connected, and then all the US$90 million from one of the accounts was transferred to Li Siwen's account in the Netherlands through Philips' senior management."

After Xue Gang finished speaking, he looked at Li Siwen and said firmly: "Li Siwen, all the evidence is enough to prove the fact that you took kickbacks. Do you still need to defend yourself in front of the evidence?" m...

Every word Xue Gang said would cause everyone at the scene to exclaim. After all, a figure of several billion is a huge sum of money for anyone.

"Do you know why so many entrepreneurs were invited today? It's just to let everyone understand the truth. The country's money is the people's money, and you can't even think about taking a cent for yourself."

The pressure of a law professor.

However, what people didn't expect was that Li Siwen chuckled softly in this quiet moment, and the sound was very harsh.

"Li Siwen, why are you laughing?" Xue Gang asked with a serious look on his face.

"Can I speak now?" Li Siwen asked.

"Okay." Xue Gang said.

"I'm laughing at you." Li Siwen said and then laughed: "I'm laughing at you, a great law professor, who doesn't even understand the meaning of the hearing, but you keep asking me if I need to defend myself? Do you want to give it to me directly?

Convicted? Do you think this is a court? Do you think you are the presiding judge? Don’t say that you don’t have the rights of the presiding judge. Even if you do, this hearing is still to hear the defense of my client, do you understand?”

Li Siwen's words made Xue Gang blush. He was indeed a little excited and spoke too much just now. He didn't expect Li Siwen to be so tough.

At this moment, there was a slight discussion at the scene. Some people commented that Xue Gang was unprofessional, while others commented that Li Siwen was brave and could say anything.

Seeing this scene, Wang Yangming, who was sitting next to Xue Gang, patted the table and said coldly: "Please be quiet, everyone, and don't say useless words."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Siwen and said: "According to the hearing regulations, there is no problem with the moderator's speech. We have not deprived you of your right to plead."

Xue Gang also took a breath at this time and said: "Li Siwen, I just said that all the evidence shows that you have accepted bribes. Do you have any objection to this?"

"I have no objection to the case statement made by Comrade Cheng Yuan, the leader of the investigation team, and the issues just mentioned by the host, because these are issues that I have encountered throughout the entire process of leading the entire team to the Netherlands, and we have many

We discussed the relevant regulations of Project 909 once, and Director Zhou even reported me to the superiors because of this matter. Is there no problem with what I said? Comrade Zhou Feng."
