Lu Ming looked through the thick stack of court documents on the coffee table.
Chen Qinghua sat at the desk and copied some key points according to Lu Ming's instructions.
Wang Daan looked through the list of prosecution witnesses and summarized the personality characteristics of several major witnesses according to what Lu Ming said.
It seems that everyone is very busy.
In fact, Lu Ming just found some work for them to give them a sense of participation. From a certain perspective, it was also a kind of exercise for them and broadened their court thinking.
The door to the inner room was closed. Li Mingxuan and Xiao Cui were inside. They didn't know what they were talking about. It was Li Mingxuan who wanted to talk to her.
"Haha, Lawyer Lu, I heard that you performed very well today!" Liu Laocai laughed loudly. The laughter had already arrived before anyone came in.
Datou, who was sitting by the door, couldn't help but frown.
"How about it, I'm treating you today, let's celebrate?" Liu Laocai patted his shiny bald head.
Lu Ming smiled and said: "Forget it, it has just begun. It is too early to celebrate now, and in terms of the entire lawsuit, we are still at a big disadvantage."
Liu Laocai shook his head and wanted to say something. He saw Wang Daan and Chen Qinghua, and looked at the thick documents on the coffee table in front of Lu Ming.
"Okay, okay, you guys are busy first, you guys are busy first." Liu Laocai winked at Lu Ming again, "At seven o'clock, Wendebao Club, I will introduce you to a friend."
Lu Ming smiled: "Let me see, try your best."
He got up and sent Liu Laocai to the corridor outside.
After all, he is the sponsor, and he voluntarily sponsors his lawsuit. If he doesn't even move his butt, it would be too disrespectful.
After returning to the house, the phone rang. Lu Ming walked over and picked it up. It was Pan Mila's unique Zhongzhou dialect, "Is Mr. Lu here?"
"That's me." Lu Ming smiled.
"Boss, there is good news. The patent for Velcro has been approved through simple procedures and should be approved soon." Pan Mila was a little excited. After all, this was the first time she had made one since she was born.
It's a very important thing, and it's also the first project of her career.
Lu Ming smiled and said: "This is indeed good news, thank you for your hard work."
Nowadays, the empire is in a period of rapid technological development, and various small inventions are emerging one after another. Therefore, it is very tolerant to patent applications, and those who are allowed to enter the simplified examination process will basically pass smoothly.
"Did you win again in court today?" Pan Mila asked with a soft smile, her voice softening.
"It's not about winning or losing yet. Oh, you and Bisi should stay with Hanzhu. I still can't go back tonight."
From being kissed by Pan Mila, to Bizhu's appearance, to having an erotic dream, I don't know if my day was wonderful or bad.
But I’m really busy now, so I basically stay at the Husky Hotel.
Those messy reasons that I don’t know how to deal with can only be put aside for the time being.
"Okay, boss, don't worry!" Pan Mila hesitated for a while, "I, I'll go see you and buy you some delicious supper?"
"No, I have an appointment tonight."
Lu Ming looked at his watch and saw that it was almost seven o'clock. Hearing the good news about Velcro, he had some ideas and wanted to talk to Liu Laocai.
…
On the third floor of Wendebao Club, there are three sets of premium member private rooms, No. 8, No. 88 and No. 888.
In this world, the pronunciation of the number 8 is also very auspicious. I wonder if it is another coincidence.
The three private rooms are all extremely spacious and splendid. Lu Ming came to room 888.
Lu Ming was the last one to come, and there were many people in the suite. However, if you don’t count the entourage, Xiaomi and the like, Liu Laocai seemed to have made an appointment with three friends, who should be his closest friends or business partners.
, including Lu Ming, there are five protagonists in total.
Liu Laocai introduced them to Lu Ming one by one. The first one was a fat white man in his fifties, a member of the Beiguan Congress. His name was Meng Dezhu. He was also the principal of the Beiguan Women's Normal School and a small party in Beiguan called the "Educators Alliance".
"The leader of the party.
He looked a little arrogant when he shook hands with Lu Ming, and seemed to disagree with Liu Laocai for inviting Lu Ming to attend this small circle gathering.
However, although Liu Laocai looks vulgar, he always looks at people with vicious eyes. It's just that his sons are not sure, probably because they are in Lushan Mountain.
Therefore, in the end, the few people listened to Liu Laocai and met Liu Laocai's queen lawyer first.
The second person Liu Laocai introduced was a spirited old man, but he looked a little worried, as if he had encountered something troublesome. This was an industrialist named Zhao Xingwang, who ran a company that produced auto parts. "Xingwang"
"Industrial company, as soon as you hear it, you will know that this is not a family business that has been inherited, but that Zhao Xingwang, as the first generation, started it from scratch.
His mind was obviously not here, and when he shook hands with Lu Ming, he was a little perfunctory.
"Come on, come on, Qian Xing, this is the owner of Wen Debao Club! He is also the executive chairman of the local construction workers union, Chairman Wen Liang Yu Wen!" When introducing the third person, Liu Laocai raised his voice.
Lu Ming also focused his eyes and looked at the gentle middle-aged man in front of him, wearing a black suit and elegant.
Judging from his appearance, no one would associate him with the largest gang organization in Beiguan.
In the empire, not only Donghai, but also many gang leaders manipulate and use labor unions to make profits, which is similar to the Western society at the same time in my previous life.
As for Beiguan, the Wen family knew about it within a few days of their arrival.
Wen Liangyu's father was a figure like the godfather of Beiguan, but he has passed away.
His five sons, the five tigers of the Wen family who were his right-hand men at the time, each took control of a part of the power of the organization after his death. The five tigers also gradually split. Of course, they would still unite to fight against foreign enemies.
Wen Liangyu is the fourth child, but he controls the family's most important labor union, is also the largest shareholder of Wen Debao Club, and is the nominal leader of the Wen family's five tigers.
It can be seen that among the five brothers, he has the most brains and means.
The Wen family, a gang organization, is different from Long Ye's Double Dragon Club in his hometown. The Wen family's militants even once had more than a dozen murderers armed with micro submachine guns ambush and attack the enemy. As a result, several passers-by were beaten.
In the end, Wen Liangyu's father was imprisoned and died of illness in prison a few years later.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As a result, the Wen family has turned from prosperity to decline, and their power is no longer what it used to be. But in Beiguan, they are still a scourge, and even some congressmen are not.
Of course, there may be just as many congressmen who are willing to provoke them and use them to do their dirty work privately.
For example, when building high-rise buildings, many contractors need the cooperation of construction unions. If they do not get through some key figures in Beiguan politics, even if the contractors win the land, they may not be able to start construction.
At this time, I gently shook hands with Wen Liangyu and felt the slight weight on his hand, as if this person was also very weak.
Perhaps, this is the true ruthless character.
Wen Liangyu looked at Lu Ming and smiled slightly, "Lawyer Lu, I may have to trouble you in the future."
Of course, these words were polite. Lu Ming knew that Liu Laocai might sell himself to him, but how could the Wen family not have a royal decree? For a family that has been dealing with the law for several lifetimes, the most important thing is probably the judiciary.
In order to ensure that they are safer wandering in the gray area.
Liu Laocai laughed at this time and said, "Liang Yu, you promised that if Qianxing wins this lawsuit, he will be the legal advisor of your union. In Beiguan, if you can defeat Liu Hanhuan's lawyer, you have to hurry up."
Offer it up?"
It seemed that the two had made a bet, Wen Liangyu smiled and said nothing.
Lu Ming said with a smile: "A lawsuit means nothing. Everyone stumbles when their horse fails. Liu Hanhuan's case is my goal."
Wen Liangyu looked at him and smiled, "Brother Qianxing, it seems that you are determined to win this lawsuit!"
They are all human beings, so of course they can keenly hear the meaning of casual words.
Liu Laocai raised his eyebrows at Wen Liangyu and said with a smile: "I told you, brother Qianxing, there are a lot of things in my stomach. How do you say that? There is Jinxiu in your stomach, right?"
The fat white Councilor Meng Dezhu looked at him helplessly, "Old Liu, I see you have a lot of beauty! You are very good at showing off!"
Everyone laughed.
"Come, come, let's sit down!" Liu Laocai motioned for everyone to sit down and smiled at Wen Liangyu: "Liangyu, I've called you here today, so I'm going to be the host!"
Wen Liangyu smiled and said, "You are the convener, so of course you have the say."
Everyone sat down, and the beautiful cheongsam waiter brought a huge cigar and helped trim it and light the fire. Everyone started chatting about everything.
Lu Ming sat in the most remote position of the sofa circle, just listening to their chat. As for the cigar, he also took a few sips, which was quite refreshing.
From their chats, one can quickly sort out the priority. It seems that Liu Laocai, Zhao Xingwang and Wen Liangyu are actually the financial backers of Congressman Meng Dezhu and the small political party he leads.
Now, Meng Dezhu vaguely mentioned that the general election of the Beiguan Town Council will be held in the middle of next year. He hopes to continue to receive financial support from the three people, and, more importantly, he hopes to go further next year and enter the Beiguan Town Council.
Regarding the municipal management committee, it requires a large amount of funds to operate.
More than fifty council members in Beiguan elect seven members of the Municipal Management Committee. These seven members ultimately decide the candidates for the heads of all administrative agencies in Beiguan and determine local laws and regulations in Beiguan. They are the real seven giants of Beiguan.
In fact, it sounds like Meng Dezhu has little hope. His qualifications and reputation among parliamentarians are not enough to join the ranks of the Big Seven.
But Liu Laocai and Wen Liangyu both pledged their full support. They promised verbally, and they promised first like a family. Who is not a baby anymore?
Zhao Xingwang, however, had a worried look on his face, "I'll see what happens when the time comes. It's up to me whether my factory can survive or not."
Liu Laocai sighed, "Old Zhao, I am really powerless. You also know that my capital chain has always been very tight. Where can I get 200,000 yuan?"
Wen Liangyu slowly smoked the cigar without making a sound.
It sounds like the situation of Zhao Xingwang's factory is very bad. Regardless of whether Liu Laocai and Wen Liangyu have the ability, they probably don't want to wade into troubled waters.
Moreover, two hundred thousand yuan is really not a small sum. Lu Ming feels that if calculated in the same era, the research and development expenditure for the first electronic computer in his previous life was only three hundred thousand yuan.
In this world, the investment of a small film and television company is only a few hundred thousand yuan.
Not to mention, what Zhao Xingwang needs is 200,000 yuan in funds rather than property.
Zhao Xingwang looked at Liu Laocai, then at Wen Liangyu, and sighed: "It's all my fault. I offended Master Zhu, which caused me to have a large backlog of goods, and my bank also blocked me, but I don't think I went in the wrong direction. I made a three-point seat belt, which is safer in the first place. Mr. Zhu Er laughed at me and my colleagues laughed at me. I still think that although the three-point seat belt is a bit troublesome, it can still be done..."
In fact, when he said it himself, he seemed to have lost all confidence. These words were more like making excuses and saving face for the failure of his business decisions.
When Lu Ming heard "three-point seat belt", he suddenly looked towards Zhao Xingwang.
Speaking of which, when I registered a technology company, I also thought about whether I could tinker with some patents in this world. After all, patented technology is not a basic industry. Some small changes may be patented technology that affects future generations.
In fact, after thinking about it, it was just a "three-point safety belt". I originally thought that when I had enough time, I would get to know talents in this field and tinker with this kind of safety belt for future generations.
In today's cars, seat belts are all two-point or multi-point. No one has yet had an idea to come up with the ingenious fixation of the three-point type.
Moreover, in terms of safety, there should be no evidence that three-point seat belts are safer.
Therefore, just like my previous life, the three-point seat belt should have been clumsy when it first appeared. It would have been considered anti-human, not recognized, and ridiculed.
"Director Zhao, is your company mainly producing car seat belts?" Lu Ming asked.
Zhao Xingwang glanced at him and nodded casually.
"So, what brand of cars do you mainly supply? Who is Master Zhu you are talking about?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhao Xingwang was worried when he met a rookie lawyer who didn't know what he meant and asked questions. He didn't bother to pay attention to him, pretended not to hear, and picked up his cigar.
Liu Laocai smiled and smoothed things over, "Old Zhao mainly supplies Lingwei brand cars. The second son of Zhu is called Zhu Guodong. He is the second son of the Zhu family of Lingwei Automobile Industry and is in charge of the purchasing department of Lingwei Group."
Lu Ming nodded.
Lingwei sedan is considered to be a mid-range car with very good sales volume. It can be regarded as one of the top ten automobile industry groups in the empire and is headquartered in Donghai.
There are hundreds of thousands of sales per year.
Compared with real tycoons like him, Zhao Xingwang's company is really just a small factory, making a little money by doing downstream work.
Lu Ming originally wanted to ask Zhao Xingwang how he offended the second son of the Zhu family, but seeing that he didn't even bother to pay attention to him, he swallowed his words.
Smiling, Lu Ming said: "Director Zhao, can you show me your company's financial statements, sales reports and other relevant information over the years? In fact, I can still take out 200,000 yuan, temporarily.
, I have no other investment intentions.”
Everyone was stunned and looked at Lu Ming with different eyes.
Who would have thought that such a young man could come up with a huge sum of two hundred thousand yuan in cash?
Even Liu Laocai was extremely surprised.
Zhao Xingwang opened his mouth in surprise and looked at Liu Laocai, but in any case, the young man in front of him was a lawyer, and it was Liu Laocai who introduced him to this circle. It was impossible for him to talk nonsense the first time they met.
What I wanted to say suddenly made me feel a little ashamed.
Lu Ming smiled again and said: "Director Zhao, let's be a villain first and then a gentleman. You'd better write a plan, the future development direction of the company, some ideas, etc., so that I can make an evaluation. If I feel that my capital injection
, can save your factory, let's discuss the terms of cooperation. If I feel there is no hope, I'm not afraid of saying something you don't like to hear. I'm also a master who doesn't let go of the rabbit when I see it."
"That is, it should be, it should be!" If there were still doubts in his heart before, now Zhao Xingwang suddenly felt that this young man was more trustworthy and there was hope ahead.
Lu Ming smiled: "Let's talk about the details after I know a little bit about your company!"
"Okay, okay!" Zhao Xingwang sat upright and said a little ashamedly: "Lu Dazhuang, I am so distracted today. Please forgive me if I have neglected you."
Lu Ming smiled and said: "I am a young boy and I am a junior. Dong Zhao is too serious."
From the beginning to the end, the three-point safety belt was not mentioned the most. When talking about business, it is important to hide the true intention.
"Lawyer Lu, when will the trial of your lawsuit start tomorrow? I want to hear it." Wen Liangyu said with a smile.
He suddenly became interested in the confrontation between Lu Ming and the Liu family's barrister.
His Wendebao Club was originally the strongest competitor of the Liu family's Mingjia Entertainment Hotel.
Lu Ming laughed and said, "Dr. Wen, why don't you forget it? I don't want Liu Hanxuan to regard this lawsuit as a matter for you and his family. That will add a lot of unnecessary details."
"Well, you're right!" Looking at Lu Ming, Wen Liangyu's eyes showed more admiration. He was willing to go to the court to watch Lu Ming's lawsuit. This gesture was very high and would add a lot of face to Lu Ming, but this young man
I don't care about this, but I clearly realize that this lawsuit may indeed change its flavor.
"Haha, originally I wanted to see Lu Bian's methods, so let's wait for another day!" Councilor Meng Dezhu laughed.
Lu Ming smiled and said: "Yes." This fat white congressman has the most obvious change in attitude. In the political world, changing his attitude according to the wind is a basic skill.
A few people started talking about other things, but Zhao Xingwang couldn't sit still. He hurriedly stood up and left, naturally going to prepare the materials Lu Ming wanted to see.
"By the way, Brother Liu, do you know anyone from a garment factory or a shoe factory? Preferably a shoe factory whose customers are young people?" Lu Ming asked Liu Laocai. Among several people, he called Liu Laocai "
"Brother Liu" seems to have the closest relationship between the two.
"Oh? Do you know a few of them? Can I help you make an appointment?" Liu Laocai was very pleasantly surprised. He had long felt that this young man was not a man in the pool, but he didn't expect it. He brought another surprise to himself. It turned out that he was still an invisible rich man.
I'm afraid my family background is very unusual.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Sorry for bothering you, Brother Liu." The reason for coming here was about Velcro.
Liu Laocai works in a department store and should be familiar with clothing, shoe and hat manufacturers.
"Brother, you should be cautious about investing in Lao Zhao. If you really want to bring him back to life, why don't you help him if I sell everything?"
While chatting privately with Lu Ming, Liu Laocai whispered in Lu Ming's ear.
Lu Ming nodded: "I understand."
Liu Laocai laughed and said, "Of course, you must know it, I'm just worrying about it, haha!"
