Zhu Guodong, the second son of Lingwei Automobile Industry, apparently dismissed Zhao Xingwang's invitation and only sent a lawyer to represent him.
He is a hook-nosed Western lawyer named Rodman, a third-level lawyer, which is also a senior advocate.
In the whole of Beiguan, because Liu Hanhuan has not yet been promoted to Dan, the third-level lawyer is the highest level of Beiguan lawyers, and there are very few of them.
Rodman also looked arrogant and looked disdainful of Lu Ming at all.
Wen Liangyu and Zhao Xingwang were playing cards in the private chess and card room, but the door was open. They were obviously curious and wanted to hear how Lu Ming negotiated.
Lu Ming was a little amused, but there was no reason to let them leave.
Lu Ming's current status is as the major shareholder and legal affairs representative of Xingwang Industrial.
Lu Ming flipped through the materials on the table and asked: "Mr. Rodman, in October last year, we at Xingwang Industrial submitted a product description of the three-point safety belt to your company. You have always rejected this product and refused to use this safety belt in new cars.
, right? And, as a result, you will no longer purchase ordinary seat belt products from our company."
"Yes, this is a business decision of Lingwei Automobile and has nothing to do with the law. I don't know why you mentioned this?" Rodman drank coffee slowly, not bothering to raise his eyelids and even bothered to look at Lu Ming.
Lu Ming stared at him. Finally, Rodman slowly raised his head and said, "Please stop wasting all our time."
"Mr. Rodman, take a look at these..." Lu Ming moved some files on the table, "These are serious accidents involving various types of Lingwei cars since October last year. We only used three
Within days, we have found five car owners or their relatives who were seriously damaged. In these five cases, two car owners died and three car owners were seriously injured and disabled."
"So?" Rodman didn't even raise his hand, with a disdainful smile on his face.
"This is a safety test report on the three-point seat belt. According to this professional report, the three-point seat belt is 85% safer than the two-point seat belt your company currently uses!"
Rodman just sneered.
Lu Ming smiled and said: "You'd better take a look to avoid making a big mistake. For this safety test report, we used twenty newly manufactured Lingwei sedans, five of your company's best-selling models, each of which
There were four vehicles, half of which used original seat belts and half of which used three-point seat belts. The results obtained after simulating various car accident situations and the report was issued by the Donghai Automobile Industry Safety Association."
Rodman was startled, reached out to pick it up, glanced at it a few times, and then frowned: "So what?"
"Mr. Rodman, you are really a bit slow. In other words, if your company had adopted the three-point safety belt produced by Xingwang Industrial, some serious injuries could have been avoided!" Lu Ming patted him gently.
Pat the five car accident files on the table.
"This is just the tip of the iceberg. I think if I search patiently, I will definitely find more car owners who have been needlessly harmed because of your haste. There may be dozens or hundreds. You can think about it.
, the dire situation your company will face when I file a class action lawsuit on their behalf.”
"Will it go bankrupt?" Lu Ming shook his head gently and slowly picked up the tea on the table.
Rodman's face was ashen as he stared at the appraisal report.
"This report of yours was just issued yesterday!" His eyes suddenly lit up.
"However, when Xingwang Industrial gave you a product description at that time, it already mentioned that three-point seat belts can improve safety by more than 30%. When it comes to court, who will the jury sympathize with more? Big companies? Or those who have lost loved ones or
Poor cripple?"
"Moreover, as long as a class action lawsuit is filed in this case, the reputation of Lingwei Automobile Industry..." Lu Ming looked at Rodman, "If you can't clearly understand the seriousness of this problem, I think you should call Zhu Guozhu immediately
, otherwise, this responsibility can completely make you disappear from the legal world!"
Rodman's face paled slightly. Finally, he reached out and picked up the five car accident files and slowly read them.
At this time, Zhao Xingwang had already hurriedly walked out of the chess and card room. When he came closer, he quickly picked up the appraisal report and looked at it. His face was very strange. He didn't know whether he was angry, surprised, or had other feelings in his heart.
Finally, he put down the appraisal report and smiled bitterly at Lu Ming: "It's such a big deal."
Just buying 20 brand new cars for safety testing is simply something a lunatic would do.
I definitely don't have the courage, and if I ask the gentlemen from the association to participate in this test, I'm afraid it will cost a hundred or eighty thousand?
Although I vaguely felt like a golden pimple had been poached by Lu Ming, it seemed that I was not unjust.
"Are you so confident?" Zhao Xingwang asked with a wry smile.
Lu Ming nodded: "Huaxia Technology is also doing this, but I didn't expect that Director Zhao would register the patent first."
Zhao Xingwang nodded, what else is there to say?
But there was still a hint of bitterness in my heart.
From the side, Wen Liangyu patted his shoulder gently, "Old Zhao, don't think about what you lose, think about what you gain. Isn't this the principle when we do business?"
Zhao Xingwang sighed softly and nodded silently.
Wen Liangyu's eyes when looking at Lu Ming were even more brilliant, as if she had discovered some new continent.
Then, he persuaded and brought Zhao Xingwang back to the chess and card room.
"Lawyer Lu, tell me, what solution do you have?" Rodman looked at Lu Ming seriously, finally seeing Lu Ming as his real opponent.
"Actually, you do not represent Lingwei Automobile Industry, but you represent Second Young Master Zhu Guodong personally, right? Then, I have a chance to cooperate, which will also be of great benefit to Second Young Master Zhu's development in Lingwei Automobile Industry."
"If you really have the interests of Mr. Zhu Er in mind, then suggest to him that all Lingwei cars use three-point seat belts in the future. This can be the biggest selling point of Lingwei cars. In addition, our appraisal report, Lingwei cars
The automobile industry will definitely be in the limelight and lead the trend of the automobile industry, and Mr. Zhu will definitely be reused by his father, and will no longer just stay in the purchasing department."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Rodman's eyes lit up again and again when he heard this. Suddenly, he looked at Lu Ming uneasily: "So, what are you going to do with this three-point safety belt?"
At what price will it be sold?”
Lu Ming smiled: "Well, first of all, of course your company must resume the purchase contract with Xingwang Industrial, but the three-point seat belt is not a monopoly of Xingwang Industrial. This patent now belongs to Huaxia Technology, and they will license it to you.
, you then license it to downstream suppliers, but you need to pay a royalty of one yuan for each car with a three-point seat belt you produce."
Rodman was stunned. This condition was unexpectedly good. He was originally worried that in the future, Xingwang Industrial would monopolize the three-point seat belts and raise prices from the ground up, but he didn't know what the sky-high prices would be.
But who knows how the sales of this new seat belt model will be? Can the cost be recovered?
But nowadays, it is equivalent to an extra 1 yuan in cost of a car, which is completely insignificant. Moreover, with the addition of a new head, it is a good purchase point.
When Zhu Guozhu mentioned this idea to his father, his father would definitely appreciate it.
"If that's the case, I'll have a good chat with Mr. Zhu Guozhu." Rodman nodded calmly. Although, the more he thought about it, the more this was an excellent opportunity for him and Mr. Zhu Er in Lingwei Automobile Industry, but he still
Try your best to suppress the excitement in your heart.
Lu Ming smiled.
…
In the chess and card room, Wen Liangyu smiled and said: "This young man is incredible, his ambition is even terrifying."
Zhao Xingwang smiled bitterly and said nothing.
"Old Zhao, don't just think about your things. If you didn't meet this young man, would you be able to develop your shabby seat belt? I'm afraid your factory will go bankrupt and your patent rights will be lost.
I’m not sure whose hands it will go to.”
"Now that your factory is alive and well, you have a strong business partner. It's not too late for me to be happy!"
Wen Liangyu smiled with admiration on his face.
Zhao Xingwang looked at him strangely. This figure who was like the godfather of Beiguan had always been taciturn and kept many things in his heart. This was the first time that he showed such appreciation to others.
"If this young man really does it, how many millions will the patent fees cost a year? In the future, there will be more." Wen Liangyu shook his head with a smile.
Zhao Xingwang was stunned: "How do you say this?"
Wen Liangyu smiled and said: "The new concept he gave Lingwei is not to promote his seat belts? Every year, millions of cars of various types are produced across the country. If in the end, all use his seat belts, high-end car patent fee authorization 2
Yuan, the license for a mid-range car like Lingwei is 1 yuan, and the license for a low-end car is 5 jiao? I generally guess that he wants to do this. If you calculate it this way, it's not several million a year?"
Zhao Xingwang was stunned, looking at Wen Liangyu looking at him with a half-smile but not a smile, and he didn't know what he felt in his heart.
There was a gentle knock on the door of the chess and card room. It was Lu Ming who escorted Rodman out, then pushed the door open and came in.
"Brother Qianxing, congratulations!" Wen Liangyu smiled with a smile on his face.
Lu Ming smiled and looked at Zhao Xingwang, "Director Zhao, I am in urgent need of money, a lot of money, so don't blame me for offending you. One day I will really become bigger and stronger, and I will definitely compensate you double."
His heart was still sour, but at this moment, Zhao Xingwang couldn't help but sigh that this young man knew how to behave.
Moreover, they didn't carry anything behind his back at all. Otherwise, if they were behind the scenes, it would take a long time for him to wake up.
"Forget it, after all, you are my nobleman and you don't owe me anything at all!" Zhao Xingwang waved his hand with a wry smile.
Wen Liangyu smiled and said: "Although Brother Qianxing is young, he is very generous. The cost of the test report must be about 100,000. Is this a good brother who is so confident?"
Lu Ming smiled and said nothing.
Now, the family's assets are almost completely empty, and there are only a few thousand yuan left in the bankbook.
He even asked Zhou Xiaobao from the immigration company to lend him some money.
"Brother Qianxing is so kind-hearted!" Wen Liangyu sighed again.
Just now, Lu Ming and Rodman mentioned that in these five car accident cases, Lingwei Automobile Industry was required to compensate them appropriately, and finally deduct the patent fee from Huaxia Technology.
Lu Ming felt that since he had taken advantage of these five car owners or their family members who had been involved in car accidents, he owed them and it was appropriate to make appropriate compensation.
After hearing Wen Liangyu's praise, Lu Ming waved his hand gently.
…
"Sir, you're back!" Lu Ming had just stepped onto the balcony from the side staircase when the door was quickly opened.
The extremely delicate voice was full of surprises.
Lu Ming looked at the beautiful Zhen in front of him and was equally happy. He was really worried that he would never see Bizhu again in the future.
I just came back from having a drink with Wen Liangyu and Zhao Xingwang and were a little tipsy.
"Hanzhu, where have you been these past few days?" Lu Ming felt a little dizzy and slowly walked into the room. With Zhen's support, he sat on the sofa and asked with a sigh.
"I, I feel drowsy. Have you slept for several days?" Mrs. Zhen brought a wet towel and carefully applied it to Lu Ming's forehead.
A hint of coldness entered his mind, which made him feel extremely comfortable. Lu Ming turned around and looked.
In front of you are Ms. Zhen's beautiful eyes full of concern. Her watery eyes are big and watery, as if they can speak. Her long, glossy black eyelashes are blinking, as if scratching your heart.
As if by mistake, Lu Ming gently stretched out his hand and took hold of her soft crotch.
Zhen's body trembled suddenly. Although she had wiped Lu Ming's face and hands before, Lu Ming took the initiative to hold her hand, which was another matter.
"You can't disappear, you know?" Lu Ming sighed softly and looked at her with pity.
I have a vague feeling that Bizhu's mental power is so powerful. I wonder if Hanzhu, this delicate and pitiful girl in front of me, will disappear completely in the end?
If that day comes, she, she is too pitiful, and has no idea that in this short life, she is just a pawn, a pawn that awakens another person to replace her.
"As long as I don't dislike you, I, I will always be by your side..." Mrs. Zhen lowered her head, her snow-white pretty face flew up with two red clouds.
Lu Ming looked at her with a sore nose. He was most afraid that if one day she disappeared completely, he would not have the chance to say goodbye to her.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Gently reach out and touch her pretty face tenderly, feeling that it is unspeakably smooth. Zhen is extremely shy, and her pretty face is even a little hot. Touch it gently
My hands felt a little tender when I touched it, and I couldn't bear to use even half of my strength.
Mrs. Zhen first looked at Lu Ming in astonishment, then her pretty face turned red, her stiff body suddenly softened, and with a squeak, she slowly fell down.
"You silly girl..." Lu Ming was helpless. He seemed to have fainted. I don't know if he was scared by himself? Or was he happy? Or was he emotionally shocked?
Mrs. Zhen slowly opened her eyes again.
"You..." Suddenly, Lu Ming felt something was wrong, and a cold light flashed across Zhen's beautiful eyes.
"Ah..." The wrist that was gently caressing Ms. Zhen's pretty face suddenly suffered a sharp pain, and then her body fell under the sofa for no apparent reason, feeling miserable for a moment.
Zhen stood up suddenly, and then seemed to understand what had happened. She bit her red lips and looked at Lu Ming: "Master, please respect yourself."
Needless to say, he also knew that it was Bizhu who was coming. Lu Ming slowly got up and waved to Bizhu who was coming to help him, "Forget it, just ask her to come back!"
"Master, please forgive me. I just did not know what the situation was like!" Bizhu clasped her fists and bowed, then whispered: "Master, are you tired of me? The last time I woke up, I endured several days and nights without sleeping.
Only with talent can you see more of the world... Now, just after waking up, does the master want the servant to go to sleep again?" The voice was slightly sad.
Lu Ming was startled for a moment, looked at her, and finally sighed softly, "Forget it! Then you can figure it out yourself, but Han Zhu, who is ignorant, is even more pitiful..." He turned around and walked towards his bedroom.
Arriving in front of the door, Lu Ming suddenly remembered something and turned around and asked, "Have you heard of Fernald College?"
"Of course I know the school where the master goes to." Bizhu said in surprise: "Why does the master ask this?"
Shaking his head, "It's nothing." Lu Ming sighed in his heart. His family's top secret, Bizhu, the so-called maid or bodyguard, of course would not know the inside story.
I pushed the door open and entered the house. I lay down and thought wildly. It took a long time before I gradually fell asleep.
Lu Ming felt relieved when he saw Mrs. Zhen's big, dazzling eyes appearing in front of him early the next morning.
