even so before landing into the book he becomes quite disillusioned the agreement has been leaked to the media taken by surprise he now has to justify his actions. knows that a government member is waiting for him. minister of the economy is demanding an explanation how did he sell without consulting the state the deal must be cancelled the c.e.o.'s refusal threatens a social tensions rise and it's pointed out that the minister has already broken dreams and he will be next this is the last time he will stand in this office or inside the ministry this is the coffee cup of a convicted man. two months later and after a fierce jewel the two men meet again same office different atmosphere. the ministers stand straight and tall but is stunned and defeated the last in the

show of strength with the c.e.o. his defeat is also france's defeat. the c.e.o. is patrick. the company sold to the. as without consulting the french. in a deal that was sealed in circumstances worthy of a spy novel and far from prying eyes and public opinion. the sale deals a terrible blow to french industry and its energy independence today this affair of state is shrouded in a deafening silence. alstom story begins in the city of bell ford this is where the company was blown in eighteen seventy two and since then it has literally shaped the region initially gold as a c.m. the alsatian corporation of mechanical engineering the company adopted the name

alstom in one nine hundred twenty eight when it merged with the company francaise thomas hoost and ever since then else dumb has played a major part in many major french projects it designed the propulsion system for the normandy then the world's fastest liner and connected france to spain by building a train tunnel under the pyrenees and then built the turbo generators for the biggest power station in the world. but for the people of belfort else dome is so much more to feel a ticket cost the social mental as wonderful wolf will the vault usually two would preach earlier. this year when the seed evoked two days into this one will nationals and the tonight have to be privy to the universe we have well the police will do he. left it to you d.n. . bi do they you know and these are two hundred. in about it as well or is this a pharmacy that. in june one thousand and forty four france had been freed but

almost destroyed by four years of war else dumb contributes to the political project of rebuilding and modernizing the country to critique the us the free me don't do. you pointed out it's not any good enough look if you don't it will if you want to. get anything out laughter then you started immediately knew. that the thought of there be no loud majesty in the plan not outwardly. it pretty don't do men since i'm more. use for proof as to see that milledge this genie. that genius brings the group international recognition and it will enjoy a golden age from the nine hundred sixty s. own words dogs are now they live off yeah.

i may not be still in the sixth was now. but the nineteen nineties is when the fall begins a series of strategic errors led the group to bankruptcy in two thousand and three . of. the the book evolved. beach. beauty this show looked as if who. really. did a little piece should live in bus one say l. stone bounced back spectacularly in two thousand and seven the group recorded the best figures in its history boosted by the t.g.v. as historic speed record sic worldwide by eight hundred million viewers why then in two thousand and fourteen did everything suddenly change on the morning of the twenty fourth of april bloomberg revealed that in

a surprise move else dome was selling its energy branch which accounted for three quarters of the entire group to the american giant general electric and the economy minister at the time. is done. so i was a young three year. general. taking. on one book you see as if to. my just was a. year much as sequester voted late this year the volunteer basis to pay your america now the floor do not use the force as i stone put it all ashtray off to party. generally take the infamous you i don't get to leave it valley nationals and they can deny it creaks and they need to do it are so at that clark is on the floor on the under street for says our no more to brag about how ever been

questioning patrick grown over his intentions for months with his back to the wall his reaction is a media and a particularly strong among who also comport. in a quiver care but take orders from your home he eats internet to mean that you own the best. to some to moan. divine ness you it don't you know what a fifty years out they are but all crazy don't do set up cookies good not all nationalities in most you buy t. call i don't usually at all she do most so a name i still use my my to do you have it or should i just as good mean is totally going to me. as dolly i did think the most old also be all crazy dog you can act out you know policies really that there are no war is declared between the two men

and the first battle takes place in a public arena shows on the pleasure it new potential in the naked on june. fourth don't succeed to conciseness bustin except i also think if you look at local factors means a lot of the you middle falls so low that i did a google search on desert are doing well to food when i miss my stuff i'm eating the problem such as each suppose it should sit in a sheet see to shirk you know but i think he does he do it on i don't. got the call shows of course when i press you come one. this and you may. just as you this time. and of only you to put them on. the gift minor payment the meat is. well known bookie fight all she need professor to others ok i met. my half ago they tend to poke at it and as you know person from all. capital

patrick when i see steve i felt unable to sway public opinion trick crown receives heavy support from his american partner general electric together they launch a media counter offensive upon us what if we don't use that at all to do not obey is that it is. that's done badly call it cause no demagogue no long walk six they made it easy on the exception as wallaby vision the early plagued if they e-mailed good sources and also all of us all caught on to my scrooge just all along saying oh we're on the tree out on the yellow dog out say israel are always where you're going to face your heart's forsaken jerusalem building or she want to know that you seriously don't they come to love point to point to this and he. says when he said are you that still me get my place means that are you that stone in will meet you said and then you are no man to bug seems helpless against the general electric machine backed by major banks law firms and communications specialists the fight

already seems to be lost on the poker craft. now that is unique as a dentist as soon as tim but in a dramatic twist the minister pulls a new weapon from his pocket and invites himself to the negotiating table you know now to take on one bookie on the. key. then to india no i said not a place probably as most petitions he has termed don't who could do city of it would let us to proceed you know their policy and they have no trust on cars forced on do not he denies united. this is all tal. our old place only only could see we don't do that. says i'm a cop we don't among. them is to numb the two as you've determined you to know it good person if you can are no one to blood had achieved an incredible act of sheer force he had transformed the general electric else dumb pairing into

a tripartite partnership with the french state in the areas of renewable energy and nuclear power it appeared that french interest and sovereignty had been preserved so it was at that going to play morning was that they often than not discuss them as if they have on a manual that. and you look at shows. on them oh a clean way yonder a fake set that you know is where you go and it hasn't caught on it's an equal cookies giveaway still false she saw ruefully there exists a levy you don't do well the most difficult not is not that i don't you care politician at the conclusion do not diplomacy now the next you'll move lobbies don't see to not use their own families of people these any on june twenty first twenty fourteen the agreement is signed by general electric and the french state the sale has become an alliance at this moment the battle file system appears to have been one hell of a we have to go back a few years to understand the stakes. the

fourteen months fourteen months in a foreign prison fourteen months of never seeing a familiar face. bend and by all still management ignored by patrick crone and forgotten by his country. fourteen months of wondering when it will all end. how did one hundred ranking alstom executive lose everything overnight. why is he. these men who question him so insistently. want confessions about his company do they want from him.

what politicians do to some. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so if you want to be president. somehow i wanted. to go right to the press was like before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the house. first city mall. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. is over twenty trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime stamping each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two

point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember in one one business show you can afford to miss the one and only boom bust. since the established approach the most pointed out for losses. it doesn't. take us back. to bush said most of the systems bolstered watts joined up when you're just over one dollar to the splitter. and you know you doesn't kowtow as the new kid in the middle of. the mortgage with the bush know. your good fortune to such a creature. to sustain

a percentage cut or stop. a book of. the customer because they. in twenty years and u.s. department of justice launches an extensive investigation into they suspected the french company of using corrupt practices for more than ten years to will contracts in many countries initial suspicions concern bribes allegedly made to members of the indonesian government in return for the contracts to build a power station refuses to cooperate with the u.s. department of justice but the investigation continues regardless and extends to other suspected cases in taiwan saudi arabia egypt and the bahamas systematic and elaborately corrupt practices are revealed across the globe. even then they. do not. let us finish off that.

more. difficult. to do now then yes. for that eclipse. then. although we already condemned a broad it's surprising that alstom should simply brush the u.s. prosecution of. corporate leaders are convinced that the u.s. department of justice has no jurisdiction over events that occurred outside the u.s. territory. even if it was it as you need to be able when you take the a pleasurable u.s.

law is the foreign corrupt practices act home you have sepia this allows the d.o.j. or department of justice to prosecute a foreign company for corrupt practices not on u.s. soil provided that the company has an identifiable connection to the you know. today it's back to the movies it. was it. it was a walk up the limo was it easy example system to communicate. with america after all you do know was it easy people it was that you could be. example i thought. do i step in with a muffled america if you don't wish you could take it if you cannot will please keep boss. as it is unique. but on this one can do i mean again it's links was. with tom's refusal to cooperate

with the d.o.j. as prosecution intensified in april twenty fifth team while traveling to the united states frederick a one time alstom executive was arrested. you won't believe the minute phone calls you more can expect just evaded. the increase on duty security do you want to give i think did. the navy the young twenty don't anymore but we. all need to become almost. designed to take over you question it's not just for the record ruchi who is under arrest three other former else dome employees some of whom have been retired for years brought before american courts they plead guilty to corruption judges and the case against al stone becomes overwhelming. solves a song. by the name on pussy do i mean yeah i'm. sixty two i.

tell you. you don't know this from all our. what if you did do long division ip. in paris on february the no. twenty fourteen at the lug serious bristol hotel patrick crone meets the general electric see this is the first encounter the first face to face meeting between the two men. the company he hopes to free both. from the clutches of the american justice system. places a condition on the general a big drink will settle any fine for. the general electric c.e.o. accept and commits to the condition having killed two birds with one stone patrick . day. and its economic difficulties are evaporating into the american sky perhaps the department of justice will even defer

payment of the five patrick this is the exact moment when irrevocably became america. that's what he did genetically it be a that he. said. so you could call it emotion deval elate people to get it and they just don't think once it just kind of a new if you heath ask you know you know mom didn't have boarded up these are doing to me if only to get off and see who else on today's date on that you know said oh

i.p.r. me do. please already do india's i want it more for peaceful too gentle sickly delusional talk is already a problem another country under circuity it is you need a few great guy to me and he's always he who sees he by the way in question. though devoted to the place you. develop some of these are truly differences but google more. exceptional they need the absolutely most. people who own hundred they look at all the folks that they have it is a delete them again. within days it is unique despite several alstom executives being arrested from twenty fourteen on woods patrick cronin his team went to the united states several times never arrested nor concerned they could proceed with the sale to general electric and peace it's hard to imagine that at the same time very true she has been imprisoned for a year from executives are detained by the f.b.i.

the moment they set foot on american soil so much so that else dom's director of legal affairs urges company managers not to travel to the united states strangely patrick cronin remains welcome to nightly news is false. forty a week like too long in france however patrick runs astonishing ability to enter and leave the united states on hindered is raising eyebrows he's questioned by m.p. jack ma at the french national assembly. hall. yeah. because fifty years. sure saturn on earth just cements be. a tank it surely sure sure sure sure like his junk sure. sure yes says. question thank you to the model.

seven after it was bought by general electric this was described as the biggest fine ever imposed under the foreign corrupt practices act eighty years later that record is beaten by these lawsuits have systematically put pressure on the companies concerned facilitating a purchase by general electric for patrick cron admitting a connection between any corruption prosecution against him and the acquisition of else dom is out of the question according to the c.e.o. the reasons were purely financial some experts and journalists even said the same thing at the time of the sale. if you don't get. it does she explain more. don't. worry. if you don't.
