At the beginning of the question, a capable female congresswoman began to ask: "Mr. Branbull, are you a Chinese official?"

The first question is quite tricky. It is obvious that a Chinese businessman and a Chinese official have two completely different concepts.

"Yes." Jing Jian could not hide this at all, but he had already discussed such issues with his lawyer team. "But ma'am, this statement is not accurate. Strictly speaking, I am a reserve official. In our China, almost all graduates above college have the status of officials."

This kind of problem is the type that becomes darker the more you describe it. The more you explain it, the more complicated it is. Jing Jian wanted to simply and vaguely pass it.

However, the female congresswoman was not going to let Jing Jian go: "So, are you managing Blue Star Network, a very important company as a Chinese official?"

"Sorry, ma'am, there seem to be a few misunderstandings here." Jing Jian said with a smile, "First of all, I founded Iceberg Network in January 1988. In August 1988, I acquired the then AU company, reorganized it into Blue Star Network and applied for a relisting. This year, I just graduated from my Ph.D. Before that, I was just a student."

"Secondly, when I founded Blue Star Network, even when Iceberg Network, I never thought it would become so important. In fact, to this day, I still think it is just an ordinary business company. Every business of Blue Star Network complies with American law and has strong competitors in traditional industries, so the recent public opinion storm is very puzzling."

"In the end, the Senator thought that I was managing the company, which actually did not exist. When Blue Star Network applied for listing, in order to dispel the doubts of the CSRC, other government departments and investors, I voluntarily gave up my voting rights to own private equity within three years, and promised not to interfere in Blue Star Network's business activities within three years. So far, I strictly abide by this agreement and have no accusation of my violation of regulations. I believe that the fairness of the law is difficult to convince by doubts."

The female congressman was stunned. Unexpectedly, Jing Jian's words were so sharp. Jing Jian's reason was very simple, which was to mix up the water and tie all traditional industries together. For example, foreigners were not allowed to own American media, and foreign commercial enterprises were not allowed to collect information on American members. This was actually impossible. For example, Murdoch controlled many American media, and companies from various countries registered in the United States in countless cases.

At this time, a flower-haired congressman promptly rescued: "Mr. Branbull, we did not accuse you of breaking the law, but just wanted to better protect the public interests. First of all, I would like to ask, what scale do you think Bluestar will develop? Or, how deep will the lives of the American people be involved?"

"I really don't dare to predict because it is suspected of speculating on stock prices." In a laugh, Jing Jian smiled, "I will introduce the situation of Bingshan Network and Blue Star Network at that time. At that time, I just wanted to be a supplement to the White Lotus mail advertising system, which can reach one-third of White Lotus North American company, which is 100 million US dollars in turnover, which is a success. I didn't expect that email services, BBS, news comments and the latest free antivirus software services would be so popular, and Blue Star Network's market value would rise so high. The development of the computer IT era would be so rapid. Dear gentlemen and ladies would hold hearings so quickly."

There was another burst of laughter, and the MP continued to ask: "You mean, you were just going to build a business similar to a traditional retailer?"

"Yes, sir. I am also very puzzled. How could those service projects that attract users become the main business?"

"Well, maybe that's your talent." The MP joked, "just like your videos and theaters are inexplicably successful."

The hilarious rumor was deafening, and everyone thought of the legendary rumor that Jing Jian made movies and bought theaters to soak Maiting. He spent a lot of money to buy a beautiful girl and smiled. Unexpectedly, he was a big success by accident.

Jing Jian knew very well that this was one of the several congressmen who had been bribed through Kevin, and their role was to control the atmosphere of the hearing.

Sure enough, the subsequent questions slowly entered the track of Jing Jian. Jing Jian himself had a very good eloquence, and those congressmen... actually didn't understand the latest high-tech at all, so they could easily follow Jing Jian's words.

A few hours passed quickly and the hearing came to an end. At the end, Jing Jian stated: "Dear Mr. Lady, here I promise again that I have no intention of Blue Star Network's management rights and welcome supervision from all parties. Of course, as an expert in Internet and marketing, I cannot leave Blue Star Network alone, which is irresponsible to investors. I will try my best to be a consultant, just as an advisor, and make personal suggestions. But the decision-making and management rights will definitely be left to the board of directors and the management of Blue Star Network."

“…”

The hearing ended with warm applause. Jing Jian's performance was witty and humorous, which made the entire hearing not boring at all.

Accompanied by several lawyers, Jing Jian left Capitol Hill with a smile on his face. If he could score his performance, he would at least get a high score of more than 90 points.

However, not long after the hearing ended, Cowell already knew the details. A certain assistant was a little worried: "Boss, Mr. Bramble performed well. It seems that he was prepared?"

Cowell was drinking black coffee and still smiling: "This is expected. He told Bramble in advance. Maybe he is not prepared? And don't forget that he is still an actor."

"But……?"

"Yek, you still haven't learned to be patient. Isn't this good? Although Bramble is proud today, he has all the same trump cards. Don't forget that there will be a hearing from the House of Representatives tomorrow. Let's contact us first. Those articles will be published in the newspaper tomorrow. And those MPs will also contact us, and we will give our Chinese children a surprise tomorrow."

"Yes, sir."

Then, Cowell ordered another assistant: "Warren, the time is ripe, and I hope to speak with him tonight."

"I understand, boss."

Cowell stretched comfortably: "It's a difficult time to pass the hearing. But there is also a shareholders' meeting. Actually, I've always been curious that the Chinese boy seems to be full of good luck, as if he is God's favorite. In this situation, will he be favored by the omnipotent God this time? Haha?"
