Chapter 465 Sanctions (3)

Munich, the hotel where Zhou Fei stayed.

Due to being restricted from leaving the country, Zhou Fei can only stay in Germany now, and the scope of action is also subject to certain restrictions, and he must accept the summons of the authorities at any time.

But Zhou Fei didn't think about leaving here at all, and he wouldn't leave here until the whole matter was resolved. Leaving at this time, on the contrary, would make people feel that he was running away from something.

The first hearing on Feichi Company and Zhou Fei's allegations will be held in a week. The strongest legal team of Feichi Company will also arrive in Munich the day after tomorrow, and cooperate with Zhou Fei in the investigation of the local supervisory bureau to ensure that Zhou Fei Fei and Feichi Company got away from this incident safely.

At the same time, Mercedes-Benz has also hired the strongest legal team in Europe, and is bound to fight the German authorities to the end!

For several economic crimes charged by the authorities, Zhou Fei has already prepared materials. As long as these materials are made public, it will be easy to prove that the allegations against Zhou Fei and Feichi Company are not established at all.

"Dafeng Automobile is ruthless enough. They compete for money, so you are going to die directly." Lying on the bed, Zhou Fei said to himself.

Although I am temporarily trapped here, all the projects of Mercedes-Benz are still in progress. Except for the temporary suspension of the electric car project that Mercedes-Benz cooperates with, the rest of the things have not been greatly affected.

Especially for the Tesla project, Zhou Fei asked Ma Huafu to move forward according to the established plan, and the timeline for the release of new cars next year cannot be changed.

If the production and management are disrupted because of such a trivial matter, it will be in the hands of Dafeng Automobile.

Zhou Fei was thinking wildly when the doorbell suddenly rang. When he opened the door, it turned out to be Mu Le.

"Mr. Zhou has suffered during this time." Mueller said immediately after entering the door.

"Professor, if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be involved in this matter." Zhou Fei quickly replied embarrassingly.

This time, not only Zhou Fei needs to attend the hearing, but Muller also needs to attend. The charges charged are basically the same as Zhou Fei, and there is even an additional crime of stealing economic information.

"Mr. Zhou is serious. We have nothing wrong with this matter, and I am very proud to be able to witness the growth of the Mercedes-Benz brand with Mr. Zhou."

Muller smiled, and then continued, "I came to Mr. Zhou this time, mainly to inform you that the restrictions on your entry and exit have been temporarily lifted, but for now you are still not allowed to leave the country, and the scope of activities can only be limited to Germany. In the country, but I've got lawyers to talk to them, and the ban should be lifted soon."

"Trouble professor." Zhou Fei nodded gratefully, and then continued to ask, "About this hearing, what did the lawyer say?"

"The lawyer said that there is no need to worry. All the charges brought against us by the authorities are not established. On the day of the hearing, the legal team will plead not guilty to us and will use the immunity system to defend." Mueller quickly replied.

According to the anti-monopoly law, when an enterprise meets certain conditions, it can defend against monopoly agreement exemption. Improve efficiency, unify product specifications and standards, or implement specialized division of labor, etc.

As long as Feichi can provide such evidence, the regulatory authority's charges against Feichi will be self-defeating, and there is no need to worry about other things.

As for the other accusations made by the authorities, there are also many loopholes, which is one of the reasons why Zhou Fei does not feel flustered.

"The production of Mercedes-Benz has not been affected?" Zhou Fei continued to ask.

"Not yet. The production of all factories is as usual, and internal employees also support us to win the lawsuit. After all, if we lose the lawsuit, it will also affect their normal work." Mueller replied.

It cannot be said that this matter has no impact on Mercedes-Benz at all, but these impacts can basically be ignored, so there is no need to worry too much.

In the following time, Zhou Fei and Muller exchanged views on the current situation. About an hour later, Muller left here.

Next, wait for the hearing to begin.

Two days later, the legal team of Mercedes-Benz also officially arrived in Munich, and fully cooperated with the law firm hired by Mercedes-Benz to discuss the coping strategy on the day of the hearing.

Five days later, the first hearing on the antitrust investigation of Feichi officially started in Munich.

This hearing was not held in an open manner, and only a few reporters and parties involved could participate. However, outside the hearing hall, a large group of reporters still gathered. As soon as Zhou Fei, Mueller and other team members appeared, Immediately surrounded by these reporters.

"Mr. Zhou, can you tell me how you feel at the moment?"

"Does Mr. Zhou have anything to say about these allegations made by the authorities?"

"For this hearing, what does Mr. Zhou think the final trend will be like?"

"There are rumors that Feichi Company will be severely punished. What do Mr. Zhou think of this rumor?"

…………

Dozens of microphones were aimed at Zhou Fei and Muller in an instant, and all kinds of questions were thrown to Zhou Fei.

"I just want to say two points. First, I believe we are innocent. Second, we also believe that the German authorities can return our innocence. Thank you."

After saying this, Zhou Fei entered the hearing venue under the escort of his entourage.

In addition to Zhou Fei's party, the people who participated in this hearing included the authorities' supervisory agencies and procuratorial agencies. Zhou Fei even saw Fred and other senior executives of Dafeng Motor in the auditorium. , This group of people came to see how Feichi Company and Zhou Fei were tried.

With the arrival of the personnel, the hearing officially began.

First of all, the procuratorate filed a complaint against Feichi Company, Zhou Fei and others, pointing out that Feichi Company had obvious unfair competition in the European market in these years, and listed the main cases one by one. The acquisition of Mercedes-Benz by Feng Motor was used by the prosecution as the most important piece of evidence to file a complaint.

Immediately afterwards, the legal team of Mercedes-Benz, based on a series of complaints raised by the prosecution, carried out evidence defense one by one. Among them, the acquisition of Mercedes-Benz, which the prosecution specifically proposed, also became a part of the team's violent attack. They believed that the prosecution This is changing the concept secretly, because in this case, Mercedes-Benz completely provided conditions that Dafeng Motor could not provide, and it had nothing to do with unfair competition.

After more than two hours of hearing, this hearing is finally over, but no final conclusion has been reached. The next hearing will start again in a week.
