Chapter 931: The Big Tree Will Fall
Kenneth crafted a new settlement that greatly reduced the requirements, and after showing it to DuPont's representatives, he walked out of his office, found a lawyer, and said, "Jim, go and give this settlement to Benjamin in person, and ask him to accept it." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
The lawyer whose name was called was stunned and said, "Mr. Kenneth, I'm James." ”
"Whatever it is, the settlement agreement is up to you. Kenneth put it on the table, turned and walked away.
James quickly picked up and caught up with Kenneth and asked, "Sir, why did you ask me to submit a settlement agreement?"
"Don't you dare?"
"Of course not, I just feel that you haven't given me a similar task before, actually, you haven't given me a task before. ”
"Now there's it, it's an opportunity. Isn't that right? Take your chance, Jim. ”
"It's James, sir. ”
Kenneth let out a "yes", apparently not taking it to heart.
"Sir. James followed Kenneth briskly and added, "I want to know more information so that I can persuade the other party to accept the settlement agreement." ”
Kenneth stopped, thought for a moment, and said, "There is no need to persuade you, all the reasons that the other party can accept are in the agreement." You just give it to Benjamin, look him in the eye, and tell him that signing is good for him, and that's it. ”
Kenneth paused for a moment and added: "I believe that as long as he reads the settlement agreement carefully, he will be convinced, even if the lawsuit continues, they will not get such good terms, 10% of the dividends in North America, 25% in Europe, and 20% in the rest of the world...... This is already a total concession, and he could not have asked for more. ”
"I don't quite understand, Mr. Kenneth, why you chose me to deliver the settlement. James continued.
Kenneth looked at him and said, "I remember you saying that you graduated from the University of Utah?"
"Yes. James grimaced with pride.
Kenneth nodded and said, "That's good, the lawyers at Benjamin's Law Firm are basically Harvard students, they won't be hostile to you, you can release kindness, just like a sheep to deliver a letter to a wolf, the wolf won't turn around and run like a lion when he sees it, and he won't roar at the lion, he will be very curious, hey, what is written in the letter you sent, you want this effect." Well done, Jim. ”
Kenneth patted James on the shoulder, and Shi Shiran returned to the office.
For a moment, James wanted to smash the settlement agreement in his hand on Kenneth, who was born at Harvard.
But his strong intellect kept him from doing so.
A graduate of the University of Utah Law School is very difficult to become a lawyer in a first-class law firm in the United States, so difficult that he came to intern many times as early as his studies, and then obtained excellent internship results at the same time, and coincidentally defeated many Harvard students to get his current position.
The contract was cool for a while, and James was not sure if he would be able to find a similar job, or even a lower-level job, after he finished dumping.
In the United States, there are not only first-class law firms that only recruit Harvard graduates, but also first-class law firms that only recruit students from prestigious schools such as Stanford and Yale, although there are also first-class law firms with a messy diet, but James does not want to go, because the competition there is fiercer, there is no lower limit, and the rewards are less, and he may have to be a defense lawyer for drug lords.
Entering Kenneth Law as a graduate of the University of Utah Law School was already a jackpot, and James was unwilling to lose the jackpot and draw again.
He grabbed the settlement agreement, opened it and looked at it, but found no problem before getting up and sending it to Benjamin's law firm.
Benjamin invited Yang Rui to read the settlement agreement together.
James took the opportunity to look at Yang Rui.
Handsomeness is always the first impression of others when they see Yang Rui, and this impression is so strong that it even makes people forget his impression of being a scientist for a time.
The entertainment economy of Americans makes them very willing to face unfamiliar characters, such as scholars and scientific researchers who will not be accessible to ordinary people, which can basically be described as wood and brain, thin and thin.
But Yang Rui's appearance is completely different from this.
His facial features are profound, his eyes are especially deep, and because he often practices bench press and squat, his body is also quite strong, not as thin and slender as long-term running.
In addition to his appearance, Yang Rui's second impression is that he is young.
Youth is built on his achievements.
In order to do a good job of defense support, James also read a lot of relevant materials, and knew how difficult it was for Yang Rui to do everything today, which was even more difficult than a student at the University of Utah to become a justice of the Supreme Court.
James stared at Yang Rui for a long time until the latter raised his head.
"Sorry, I don't agree to such a settlement. Yang Rui's English still has an accent, and it sounds like thunder to James's ears.
"Why? The terms of the settlement are very beneficial to you!" James was inexplicably flustered, which was not the same as he had promised.
"I don't think the terms are in our favor. Yang Rui thought for a while and said: "Only if all the rights and interests of PCR remain with us, can we give us sufficient motivation to develop it, this is not a simple calculation made for the sake of profit, I believe you can understand, no one could have studied at Harvard, and ended up running to a state university, right? ”
James stiffened his neck and said, "I graduated from the University of Utah." ”
He didn't know how many times he said this sentence today.
Yang Rui let out an "oh" and said, "Even if you don't understand, I think Mr. Kenneth can understand that there is no need for him to send this settlement agreement." Our goal in doing top-notch research is not to make profits for inexplicable companies, our goal is to be top-notch, not to share top-notch with others. ”
James felt that he had had enough, he stood up violently, pushed the cup in front of him out of the edge of the table, made a crisp sound of "pop", and said angrily: "It's not that the talent who has studied in the top university is the top talent, and you don't need to get all the shares to do top research!"
The latter sentence represents a return to his sanity.
James is a reserved man, and such an outburst of anger is rare in his experience, and after the outburst, James immediately found a reason for himself - a negotiation strategy.
He won't be angry in front of his boss, but in front of Yang Rui, James doesn't have so many scruples.
Yang Rui didn't understand why James was angry at all, spread his hand, smiled, and said, "Control your temper, you may be able to achieve higher achievements." ”
After speaking, Yang Rui left.
James suddenly felt full of grievances, isn't my temper good enough? If I was born at Harvard, I would have flipped the table long ago when I encountered this kind of thing. It is he who will endure until now.
However, this kind of story is inexplicable, and James has no way to refute Yang Rui's words.
Benjamin also looked at James and shook his head, thinking, "It's good that I never had to hire people from state universities."
In the next few days of trial, the situation was somewhat calm, and the situation slid to the side of Sinovel step by step, and Kenneth was unable to do anything about it, and he did not care enough.
And the court's verdict will soon come.
Representatives of Yang Rui, Benjamin, Kenneth and DuPont stood in a row, waiting for the judge's verdict.
Although a huge amount of money is involved, this is still the nature of a civil case.
Kenneth stood a little closer to Benjamin and Yang Rui, and said, "You accept it." ”
Yang Rui glanced at him and didn't speak.
"Regardless of the judge's decision, we will appeal, and we will sue you in other countries at the same time, and the cost of settlement will be much higher, no matter what the judge will say now. Kenneth said two words in a row, full of confidence.
Yang Rui glanced at him again and said indifferently: "If we lose the lawsuit, maybe." If we win the case, I am afraid that your vision will not come to fruition. ”
Kenneth laughed out loud, with an expression that you are too young, and said: "In such a case, there is no difference between winning and losing, believe me, young man." ”
"Maybe not, maybe there is. Yang Rui was calm as usual and said, "The judge is here." ”
