www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of My Wife is an Archon!
VIP Room No. 88 of Wendebao Club.
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-stage lawyer, that is, a senior advocate.
In the entire Beiguan, because Liu Hanhuan has not yet been promoted to a rank, the third-level lawyer is the highest level of Beiguan lawyers, and there are only a handful 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 funny, 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 turned over 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 product in new cars. kind of safety belts, right? And, together with that, you will no longer purchase ordinary safety 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 even bothering to raise his eyelids, and didn't even bother to look at Lu. Take a look.
Lu Ming stared at him. Finally, Rodman slowly raised his head and said, "Please stop wasting all of our time."
"Mr. Rodman, take a look at these..." Lu Ming moved some files on the table, "These are all serious accidents involving various types of Lingwei cars since October last year. We just It took three days to find 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 There are four models of each, half of which use original seat belts and half of which use three-point seat belts. The results obtained after simulating various car accident situations were 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 Mingqing He patted 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 of 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 looked livid 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 Poor people who have lost loved ones or are disabled?”
"Furthermore, 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 realize the seriousness of this problem, I think you should give it to me immediately. Zhu Guozhu called, otherwise, this responsibility can completely make you disappear from the legal world!"
Rodman's face turned pale. 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. heart.
Finally, he put down the appraisal report and smiled bitterly at Lu Ming: "What a great gesture."
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 is still a hint of bitterness in my heart.
Besides, 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 he had discovered some new continent.
Afterwards, 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 cooperation opportunity, 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 from now on. This can be the biggest selling point of Lingwei cars. In addition, our appraisal report , Lingwei 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."
Rodman's eyes lit up again and again when he heard this. Suddenly, he looked at Lu Ming uneasily: "So, at what price are you going to sell this three-point safety belt?"
Lu Ming smiled: "Well, first of all, of course your company must resume the purchase contract with Xingwang Industrial, but the three-point safety belt is not a monopoly of Xingwang Industrial. This patent now belongs to Huaxia Technology, and they will adopt the method authorized to you. In this way, you sublicense it to downstream suppliers, but you need to pay a royalty of one yuan for each car with a three-point seat belt.”
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 I get my money back?
But nowadays, it is equivalent to an extra 1 yuan in cost of a car, which is simply insignificant. Moreover, with the addition of a new head, it is a good buying 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 still tried his best to suppress the excitement in his 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 that. If you didn't meet this young man, would you be able to develop with your broken seat belt? I'm afraid your factory will close down. , the patent rights are not sure who will go to them."
"Now that your factory is alive and well, you have a strong business partner. If you want me, it's not too late 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 for others.
"If this young man really does it, how many millions will the patent fees cost a year? There will be more in the future." 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 of them use his seat belts, what is the patent for high-end cars?" The license fee is 2 yuan, the license fee for a mid-range car like Lingwei is 1 yuan, and the license fee for a low-end car is 5 cents?
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 to feel 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 when I really become bigger and stronger, I will definitely compensate you double."
My 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 operating behind his back, I would be afraid that 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 Brother Xian so confident?"
Lu Ming smiled and said nothing.
Now, the family is almost completely empty, with 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.
This is just now, Lu Ming and Rodman mentioned that in these five car accident cases, Lingwei Automobile Industry must come forward 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.
Listening to Wen Liangyu's praise, Lu Ming waved his hand gently.
……
"Master, you're back!" Lu Ming had just stepped onto the balcony from the side staircase, and the door had been quickly opened.
The extremely delicate voice is 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.
I just came back from having a drink with Wen Liangyu and Zhao Xingwang, and I was 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?" Zhen took 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 talk. 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, it was another matter for Lu Ming to take the initiative to hold her hand.
"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 **** to wake up another person and 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 into two red clouds.
Lu Ming looked at her with a sore nose. What he was most afraid of was that if one day she disappeared completely, he would not have the chance to say goodbye to her.
Gently stretched out his hand, caressing her pretty face tenderly, and felt it was unspeakably smooth. Zhen was extremely shy, and her pretty face was a little hot. Her hands felt a little numb when touched lightly, and she couldn't bear to use even half of her strength.
Ms. Zhen first looked at Lu Ming in astonishment, then her pretty face flushed, her stiff body suddenly softened, and with a squeak, she slowly collapsed.
"You silly girl..." Lu Ming was helpless, seemed to have fainted? I wonder if he is scared by himself? Still happy? Or suffered a huge emotional impact?
Ms. 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 happened. She bit her red lips and looked at Lu Ming: "Master, please respect yourself."
Needless to say, he also knew that Bizhu was here. Lu Ming slowly got up and waved to Bizhu, who was coming to help him, "Forget it, call her back!"
"Master, please forgive me. I have just been here, but I really don't know what's going on!" Bizhu cupped her fists and bowed, and whispered: "Master, are you tired of me? I woke up last time and endured it for several days and nights. Only by not sleeping 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 stunned 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. go.
Arrived in front of the door, Lu Ming suddenly remembered something and turned around and asked: "Fernard College, have you heard of it?"
"Of course I know the school where the master goes to school." Bizhu said in surprise: "Why does the master ask this?"
Shaked 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.
Pushing the door open and entering the house, I lay down and thought about it for a long time before I gradually fell asleep.
Lu Ming felt relieved when he saw Zhen's big, dazzling eyes appearing in front of him early the next morning.
