Chapter 697: The Capable Live
"What kind of people from the law firm did Gu Biao find to be such a leader? Are they not afraid of offending the entire circle of Wall Street financial lawyers?"
After Edward Miller read all the material, he was more incomprehensible than a trace of vacillation and sadness that the general trend had gone.
The tricks he used were all very novel.
Although it is not so that no one in the world can see through it, the top Wall Street lawyers who can see through it can also be counted on two hands.
On Wall Street, there is a potential rule for lawyers who engage in financial fraud and financial anti-fraud, that is, if there are still very few people who know a trick.
Then, basically, no lawyer will use this layer of window paper to poke through the public to seek a reputation at one time, they will choose to join this small circle, and use this trick to deceive people to make money together, and make money for a few years first, and wait until the number of people who know this trick gradually increases to dozens, or even hundreds, and they can't hold it back, and the monopoly profits have declined, so that these tricks will be in the newspapers.
The reason why this is possible is that the lawyer's fees in the United States are very high, and the benefits obtained by disclosing the tricks are far less profitable than fighting dozens of major financial cases during the monopoly period.
The legal circles in the United States, that is also very xenophobic.
The reason why people need Fabo to enter the industry is to kill those stunned young people who are low-priced and dare to break the net, and not give them the opportunity to enter the circle to muddy the water and lower the cost and threshold of the industry.
Otherwise, how could the American Bar Association's consulting fee of $350 per hour be sustained for so many years?
In this circle, the spread, diffusion, and rotten speed of new tricks are much slower than outsiders think. A small innovation may bring the inventor years of monopoly profits before it becomes known.
Whoever breaks the rules of the industry will be squeezed out by the entire circle of financial legal services. Just like what Gu Biao disclosed this time, it will not only damage Edward Miller, but also damage other financial investment institutions that try to use these tricks to value high-tech stocks, and the anger of those people is also quite terrible.
Faced with Edward Miller's confusion, his female secretary immediately went to collect some information, and gave him feedback half an hour later:
"It was revealed by a small and medium-sized partnership firm in New York that is not well-known. It should be Gu Biao who has given them enough benefits, so even if they are excluded by the industry, they will expose our fraud.
We found out that the name of this firm is 'Guangfu Law Firm', and one of the partners is named Lu Guangfu, a Chinese lawyer in his early 30s. According to the current information, it should be the reason that we are also Chinese, causing people to be pulled by Gu Xiao to do dirty work and intimidate us. ”
Edward Miller was angry, slapped the table and roared: "Gu Biao and Wang An, these scumbags! Earning our great American money, Wang An has also entered the nationality of our great America, and they are still engaged in the collusion of these nationalities! This is the criminal evidence that they have not fully integrated into American society!"
It's a pity that roaring is roaring, and he can't change the facts. Especially in the afternoon of the same day, after the secretary brought more information about the stirring stick firm, Miller found that the family was Gu Yu's descendant at all, so he had nothing to say.
……
New York, Guangfu Law Firm.
As one of the partners, Lu Guangfu, looking at his achievements in lifting the lid, it is inevitable to be complacent and afraid.
To be a lawyer in the United States, at the age of 30, there is no qualifications at all. After graduating from Fabo, he practiced for two years and practiced for three years, and now he has just obtained the minimum number of years allowed to practice as a partner.
So starting this year, Lu Guangfu really opened a partnership firm.
And his partner, who was introduced by his cousin Gu Wei, is a senior M&A lawyer at Ross Law Firm, named Weber Huppel, who is about 40 years old and proficient in asset appraisal and acquisition, bankruptcy and other matters.
Lu Guangfu can also be regarded as an elite who went all the way up, studying finance at Columbia University as an undergraduate, and as we all know, Columbia University is in Manhattan, so the finance department there is the first in the United States, and the finance majors of the other seven universities in the Ivy League are not as good as Columbia. The master's and doctor's degrees are also in Columbia University, so Lu Guangfu's major is very suitable for dealing with financial investment and enterprise evaluation and merger cases.
However, with Lu Guangfu's age and qualifications, a barrister like Weber Huppel must have disdained to partner with him, and Weber Huppel was a classmate at Yale when Bill and Sellalie were in graduate school, and later went to Ross with Sellali for more than ten years.
Therefore, it is obvious that that Weber was because he gave face to Bill and Sellalie, and was introduced by Sellali to Gu Biao as a link of cooperation, so people were willing to temporarily lower their stature and partner with Lu Guangfu.
Lu Guangfu naturally wants to follow his cousin with all his heart, even if he takes a great risk to flip the table, resulting in being isolated in the future and unable to receive other business, he can't shirk it.
It's a big deal, in the future, I will only do the cases given by my cousin, Tian Kun and Wang An's big family business, and the legal services and lawsuits that can be generated every year are enough to feed a medium-sized law firm.
In the future, Gu Biao's business will further expand, and he will even be able to support one of the top law firms in New York.
"Several firms in New York have cut off cooperation with us. It seems that the after-effects of flipping the table have begun to show. ”
Lu Guangfu was drinking tea in his office in an office building in Manhattan and thinking about the consequences when a woman's voice interrupted his musings.
He subconsciously settled down and touched two handfuls: "When we embark on this road, we will be ready to think." ”
The woman in front of him did not put up any resistance, and was free to take what she wanted. It turned out that this female assistant was Li Yiran, and when Xiao Sui was still studying in Fudan, she knew the senior sister of the law school, and Gu Biao had also met a few times.
Back then, when Gu Biao went to visit Xiao Sui in Fudan, he sprinkled foreign exchange coupons all over the sky to invite Xiao Sui's classmates, roommates, and girlfriends to go to the friendship store, and it seemed that it was still yesterday.
After that, more than a year later, Li Yiran graduated, and when she graduated from the 77th undergraduate class, the national policy was preferential, and she opened the door to go abroad for exchange and study, so she tried to apply. It's a pity that the quota is too tight, and she only applied for a place for self-financed students who are relatively less competitive
For the Chinese in 1982, the opportunity to go to the United States to study at their own expense was basically equal to not given, because one out of 10,000 people may not be able to afford such a huge tuition, so no one grabbed it. You have a duplicate undergraduate diploma, and there is no problem with other examinations, and you can basically pass it.
But fortunately, Xiao Sui's roommates and girlfriends all knew Gu Ao, so they took the opportunity to borrow a little money to go abroad and then slowly think of a way, it was always okay In those years, many college students had the idea of "even if you don't have enough tuition when you go abroad, you can always think of a way to work slowly when you go abroad", and go out first.
This Li Yiran is also a ruthless person, and after he got mixed up in the United States, he actively seized the opportunity to meet other friends and partners around Gu Biao. At that time, it happened to be just in time for Dr. Lu Guangfu to graduate, and he wanted to be a trainee lawyer, the two had similar majors, and the three views could still be discussed, and Lu Guangfu was still on the eve of takeoff, so he couldn't talk about the n women around him, so Li Yiran immediately decided to make a "qingren" for Lu Guangfu, and also found a paid internship assistant job to help him deal with legal copywriting while studying.
After all, Li Yiran talked about her boyfriend when she was studying, and she was originally a relatively strong, outgoing, and organized girl. Because she is not a place in the first place, her positioning is also very realistic, she has never talked about marriage with Lu Guangfu, and she has anchored to make "qingren" for people from the beginning, which is clear and non-sticky. She is two years younger than Lu Guangfu, and her posture is okay, so if she lowers her posture, she can naturally succeed.
In the past five years, Lu Guangfu has gradually become famous, and naturally talked about a real girlfriend who was born as a quasi-celebrity, and talked about marriage. There are also several women who act on the spot, but these are all later stories, and it is none of Li Yiran's business.
Lu Guangfu was a little reluctant to Li Yiran, and after a little nervousness, the door of his office was pushed open impolitely.
It's his partner, Weber Huppel, who doesn't knock on the door if he has the strength.
"Lu, there are two asset appraisal agencies in the city, and they should have read the report in the "Wall Street Journal" to learn from the bottom of the experience. This kind of thing, it's better for you to deal with it, and I still expect to contact more customers in the second half of my life. ”
Lu Guangfu was in high spirits, and forcibly put on a smiling face: "No problem, Weber, haven't we always had a clear division of labor." ”
Of course, Lu Guangfu knows that Weber usually cherishes the opportunity to show his face and become famous, at least he cherishes the opportunity to make new friends and new connections in the circle.
However, this time it is a double-edged sword that will become famous and offend the industry, and this kind of name Weber will not come out. Leave it to people like yourself who have been holding their cousin's thighs all their lives to pull business.
Lu Guangfu made some preparations, and then took the female assistant to go.
……
It's about the same time, a few hours later at most.
San Francisco Silicon Valley, near Wang An's computer company, in Wang An's villa.
Gu Biao disclosed all the black materials he obtained to Wang An himself on May 10.
He didn't choose to go to Wang An's company to talk about things, after all, it was now Edward Miller's territory, which was not very convenient.
"You should believe by now how the so-called CEOs of Citibank's so-called technology companies are cured, they don't expect to be saved at all, they just want to make the organs look fresher when they are sold.
If you continue to be obsessed, after the end of the year, Wang An's computer will be completely exhausted, and all the resources needed for real reorganization will be sold by Edward Miller.
You still have at least a chance, as long as you cooperate with me, I can provide you with enough dàn yào to prove that this guy is harming the long-term interests of the company, and let you terminate the reorganization commission agreement in accordance with the supplementary terms with Citibank. ”
"Times have really changed, and people's hearts are not ancient. I am not afraid to use the most despicable malice to figure out the gang of people in the stock market, when I started my business, I have insisted on not going public, and I have lasted for 12 years. At that time, there was not so much deception. Wang An was very unbearable in his heart.
"Times are like this, you can't change it, you can only entrust it to someone who has the ability to change. ”
