Chapter 42 Please start your performance
Looking at Larson with a righteous face, as if he was the embodiment of justice, if Li Dongling hadn’t checked the details of this accuser before coming here, he might have been deceived by him. .
Larson is one of the most famous vulture lawyers in New York. When it comes to his litigation skills, he may not be the most powerful one, but he is definitely the one who makes the most out-of-court moves and has the least bottom line in his work. In order to win the lawsuit, he was so bold that he hired private detectives to follow up on prosecutors and judges and put pressure on them through the media.
As long as he can win the lawsuit and get US dollars, Larson will do anything. For him, the bottom line is measured in dollars. As long as the risk is not so great that he will be killed, he will do anything. You really dare to take the job!
Entering Larson's splendidly decorated office, which contains many famous paintings and antiques, plus the law firm receptionist and assistant who obviously have a less than serious relationship with Larson, Li Dongling can tell that Larson Wilson's life is so luxurious, all of which requires a beautiful knife to maintain.
"Would you like one? This is an authentic Cuban product!"
Like the front desk, Larson's assistant, who has a very outstanding appearance and figure, made coffee for several people and left. Sen took out a box of cigars and asked Li Dongling.
Seeing that Li Dongling did not answer, Larson also put away his cigar, sat on his custom-made luxury boss chair, and asked Li Dongling tentatively, "Li, I still don't know where you are from... …"
"China!"
"Oh!"
Larson exclaimed, his little eyes rolling, not knowing what he was thinking about, "It is a mysterious and special country. I have seen it on the Geographic Discovery Channel. The Great Wall and pandas... ”
Li Dongling has no intention of talking nonsense with Larson and going around in circles with this kind of logic. , challenge other people's jobs.
"Dongli Hi-tech is going to sue Microsoft. Will you accept the lawsuit?"
"Microsoft?!"
Hearing Li Dongling made it clear, Larson also I couldn’t pretend anymore, so I swore directly, “Shit, I know, two million is not that easy to earn!”
Seeing this scene, Yao Luoying's aura of elite lawyers in her eyes was shattered. In the past, lawyers were always portrayed as elites in America and represented justice, but now these auras are gone.
"That's Microsoft. Even if you sue the New York Police Department or the City Hall, you have a higher chance of winning than suing Microsoft!"
Larsson said a little depressed, and then looked at Li Dongling, "I I need to remind you that this lawsuit may not be won, although I really want the two million US dollars..."
Saying this to Li Dongling is not a sign of Larson's professional ethics. He was an ordinary person, and he had already started cheating, but in this era, for someone who could spend two million dollars to litigate, no matter where Li Dongling came from, Thorson had to consider the consequences of hacking the money.
Lawyers are an industry that relies on fame and fame. He dared to hack the two million today, and it seems that he made a profit. After that, Asian and even Asian clients, as well as some rich Americans, also Definitely put him on the blacklist.
In addition, ordinary lawyers will not accept a lawsuit that seems certain to lose. The more famous a lawyer is, the more he cherishes his feathers. If he loses once, his net worth will drop a lot.
“This lawsuit must be won, but not necessarily, in court!”
Li Dongling looked at Larson and said, he did not expect Larson to be able to win in court! , debates among scholars, and challenges the entire Microsoft Legal Department by one person. If he really has this ability, he can try to see if he can be elected as a federal judge.
Hearing this, Larson's little eyes suddenly shined, "It seems that Li, you already have a plan?!"
"I need Larson, you come up with your best plan?" We don’t have much time left for what we are good at. We only have two months, or even one month. We don’t have to admit defeat. It just needs to bow its head. Tanglin Hi-Tech can accept it..."
< br>
"Settled out of court!"
Larson said it excitedly. He already knew what Li Dongling was going to do. This is what he is best at, creating black materials, inciting public opinion, putting pressure on Microsoft, and then He could come up with a lot of tricks with his eyes closed regarding the process of settling out of court and getting compensation.
"Not enough, not enough. If you only encourage the media, it will be difficult to make Microsoft bow!" Larson couldn't sit still, stood up, and walked back and forth.
"If we encourage IBM, Lotus, etc. to join in..."
"That's not enough," Larson interrupted Li Dongling directly, "You are too disrespectful. Understand America, a giant company like Microsoft. Do you know how many congressmen on Capitol Hill in Washington support him? Do you know how much public relations expenses Microsoft pays every year?
It will never admit defeat without a life-threatening crisis! ”
“Federal Ministry of Justice! "
Larson suddenly stopped and said with stern eyes. Yao Luoying was startled when she heard this. She didn't expect that Larson would be so bold. The American Federal Judiciary Ministry, he also dares to make up his mind.
< br>
Laughing a few times, Larson saw Li Dongling thoughtfully, Yao Luoying looked worried, and said with a smile, "This beautiful lady, please don't worry, it is not really necessary to let the federation For the Ministry of Justice to end, all it takes is for Microsoft to feel the crisis! ”
"But, Li..."
Larson became serious again, with a bit of gritted teeth, "We need to renegotiate this lawsuit. If we win the lawsuit, I want the compensation from this lawsuit. 80% of it, this is the industry rule!”
Larsson just made some calculations and realized that the two million US dollars given by Li Dongling would not be enough if he really wanted to start a big battle. He had to pour money into it. After a lawsuit, he didn't earn a penny, but had to pay a small amount. As a vulture lawyer, if word spread, I'm afraid it would make people laugh.
“Impossible!”
Li Dongling came back to his senses. He felt that what Larson just said is really possible. Microsoft is not afraid of competitors. Then the antitrust investigation initiated by the Federal Ministry of Justice , is it afraid? !
Li Dongling did not hesitate to say, "This is impossible. You don't know how much Dongling Hi-Tech has lost due to this lawsuit. If it cannot get the compensation, Dongling Hi-Tech may go bankrupt. You have taken so much compensation. Tanglin Hi-Tech might as well just not fight this lawsuit!”
“70%, no less. Do you know how many contacts I have to use in this lawsuit, reporters, TV stations, media, prosecutors, etc. The Ministry of Justice needs public relations, and these are not things you can buy with dollars." Tolson also counted on his fingers.
After arguing for a few more minutes, Li Dongling and Larson stopped arguing after they won the lawsuit and split the compensation equally.
"I will formulate an agency contract now!"
Larson said to Li Dongling, and he was also ready to fight. If he can win this lawsuit, he will not only get With a lot of dollars, you can become one of the top lawyers in America!
"This matter still requires your cooperation, Li. After I file a lawsuit with the New York Court, I will arrange for you to be interviewed by a New York TV station. This interview is crucial and may even affect the success or failure of the entire matter!"
After signing the entrustment agreement, Larson immediately discussed with Li Dongling. No matter how Larson operates, he still needs the cooperation of the "sufferer".
Sometimes the victim can gain a lot of sympathy and support by showing off his misfortune on TV, which can create pressure from public opinion and put the federal police, federal prosecutors, federal courts, federal congressmen, etc. at great risk. Under pressure, powerful people in America often choose to compromise when facing public opinion for the sake of votes.
“I know!”
Li Dongling said, his current status is different from those companies in America that were suppressed by Microsoft. If he wants to gain the support of public opinion, he needs to perform better. OK.
"Today, I officially represent Donglin Hi-Tech to initiate a lawsuit against Microsoft. This is a company from Asia. Many people may not understand why I should accept to represent this lawsuit, but you have known this company and understood it. Founder of Microsoft, you will understand the meaning of all this. Microsoft is killing dreams, it is becoming that evil dragon, and warriors need to stand up and stop its atrocities..."
Standing in Manhattan, New York At the entrance of the Federal Court, in front of a sparse group of reporters, Larson gave an impassioned speech. These reporters and media were all invited by him with money.
After this year, the newspapers where these reporters work will also report on it. As for the effect, I don’t know. Larson doesn’t expect any immediate effect. He just needs to spread the matter first. Just a little splash is enough.
“Dongling Hi-Tech really sued us?!”
After hearing the news, Spencer and Bonas knew that Li Dongling had really traveled thousands of miles across the Pacific to sue Microsoft. At that time, both of them were stunned.
"Seriously, I really want to meet the founder of Tanglin Hi-tech," Spencer said with a bit of laughter and laughter, as if he had heard something unreasonable, "If he comes to Seattle to negotiate with us , I might compensate his company with a sum of US dollars, enough for him to be a rich man in that backward and barbaric country for the rest of his life, but now ..."
Spencer said with a bit of annoyance, "Then let's file a lawsuit and ask someone from the legal department to come over. I want to show him the true strength of Microsoft!"
Li Dongling was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, with his hair slicked back and rarely wearing hair wax. Backstage at the New York TV station, Yao Luoying finally tied Li Dongling's tie.
Looking at Li Dongling, who has a handsome face and elegant temperament, Yao Luoying’s heartbeat couldn’t help but speed up. Now Li Dongling is said to be one of America’s top elites, or is going to Hollywood to audition for a film crew, so no one would suspect that there is something wrong. .
"Li, are you ready? It's almost your turn to take the stage..."
When Larson returned to the backstage and saw Li Dongling dressed in this outfit, he couldn't help but feel the jealousy between men.
“You only have half an hour!” Larson reminded anxious Li Dongling.
There are more updates today...
