Since the first indictment against Link was dismissed, Luke Truss has not been able to sit firmly in the Diaoyutai platform.

He had thought Link would compromise because he could apply for a protective restriction on the sale of Blue Lagoon wines. And now, while his lawsuit is likely to be accepted, there is no way to restrict Link from selling Blue Lagoon wines. What's more, he feels unlikely to win the case.

He could not prove that the Blue Lagoon grapes were cultivated from his Truss II after human intervention. Link, on the other hand, doesn't have to do anything, as long as he insists that he hasn't done anything, and the grapes are naturally mutated, then it is not an infringement.

Now, the tide has turned. It is not good for him that the lawsuit drags on. He was never a rich man, and he hired a private detective to investigate the reason for the appearance of the Blue Lagoon grapes, which has already cost a lot of money.

But the results found were not in his favor.

When the Blue Lagoon grapes were grown, Link hired a lot of manpower to raise the seedlings. Among them are a large number of secondary school students.

The private investigators he hired questioned the students who had worked for Link and did not get the evidence he wanted. If the lawsuit drags on, he may not be able to afford the lawyer's fees alone. And if it drags on, those wealthy businessmen who were interested in investing in him before will slowly lose their patience.

More importantly, of course, he was not sure of winning the case.

If he wins the case, Link's compensation could make him a billionaire in an instant. But he knew it was a flower in the mirror.

He felt that now was the most likely time to get Link to back down.

Link is still in a lawsuit with C&C's Hull Donald. He felt that Link's biggest concern right now was definitely the sale of Blue Lagoon wines. For this, Link needs to win the case against Hull Donald as soon as possible. If the suspicion of infringement can be cleared, it will be of great help to Link's lawsuit. So he thinks he has the potential to get Link to back down.

And he, as long as he can get the Blue Lagoon grapes, he will win.

So he had his lawyer contact Link's attorney in the lawsuit, Charlie.

Link soon received a call from Charlie.

After listening to Charlie's words, he smiled and said: "Luke Truss wants an out-of-court settlement?

He paid $50 million in royalties and stopped expanding the Blue Lagoon vine area on his own, giving him a royalty of $5 per bottle sold. ”

Link couldn't help but laugh as he listened, and said, "You tell him." We're still waiting for the court's verdict. ”

Although Ozette Farm had already produced enough grape seedlings this year before the summer, it had already been planted. In another year, perhaps more than 10,000 acres of vineyards will be able to harvest the first crops. He also has no plans to expand the planting area for the time being. But why should he give money to the other party? Because the other party is shameless?

"I'll tell him. But his lawyer hinted that everything could be discussed. ”

When Link heard this, he sneered and said, "In this way, it is he who is in a hurry to reconcile now, but he is the plaintiff." If I can find evidence, I will sue him for a false accusation. ”

"You know, that's hard!" Charlie said with a laugh. "But his lawyer asked me for your number. Should I give it?"

Link thought for a moment and said, "I'm not interested in listening to his!"

"I'll reply to him with your exact words. ”

Luke Truss was embarrassed to hear Link's reply from his lawyer's slogan. Not interested in listening to his nonsense? Anyone would be annoyed by being ignored like this. But now Truss has to talk nonsense to Link.

He has no money left!

His lawyer also did not think he would win the case and kept trying to persuade him to reconcile with Link. He was warned that if he lost the case the first time, he would lose all support and even have no money to pay for his lawyers.

So he asked his lawyer to continue his entanglement with Charlie.

Charlie was so annoyed that he had no choice but to call Link again.

Link listened to his helplessness, so he smiled and said, "Wait until I open a new number." "Luke Truss has to talk to him, and he wants to hear what he wants to say to him.

The next day, he opened a new number. Then let Charlie give this number to Truss's lawyer.

It didn't take long for him to receive a call from Truss: "Mr. Hans, this is Luke Truss!"

"Mr. Truss, please don't talk nonsense. I'm curious if there's anything you'd like to talk to me about. ”

Truss swallowed her breath and said, "Mr. Hans, I don't think you want to face two lawsuits at the same time. And I don't want to waste my time. ”

Link laughed and said, "It's just you're wasting your time." Isn't it?" he doesn't care about Truss's lawsuit at all right now. So he didn't waste any energy on it.

"I understand your confidence. But your other lawsuit is linked to mine. If our lawsuit is not resolved, it will not be so easy for you to win your lawsuit. Your most important thing now is to restore the reputation of the Blue Lagoon. Instead of dwelling on me. ”

"Mr. Truss, I only agree with two words of what you said. I'm curious, why do you think I'm going to compromise, because of the play you played with that Tim three years ago, or because of your unsuspecting patents?"

Truss listened to Link expose the scam of the year, and she didn't mean to be vain. He said justifiably, "Mr. Hans." You know, that's business!"

"So, now you're going to have to negotiate peace too?"

"Yes, I hope to have a deal with you!"

Link sneered and said, "I'm not interested in doing business with shameless people. ”

Truss spoke quickly and said: "But if you listen to me, you won't deny that this business is also very beneficial to you!"

"Oh, tell me! I have five minutes to spare!"

"I can openly admit that the Blue Lagoon is not a derivative of Truss II. But I want to get the right to breed the Blue Lagoon grapes. ”

Link then realized that the other party had done so much for the sole purpose of getting the grapes he planted. And Truss Fee's scheming certainly wouldn't just be about planting Blue Lagoon grapes on his ten-acre winery.

He sneered and said, "Then you apply for a patent, sell the grape seedlings, and then come to business again and charge me royalties?"

"Mr. Hans, you know, when a crop is applied for a geographical indication, it cannot be patented. At most, I can only do the seedling business once. ”

"Why should I spread the Blue Lagoon grapes? Do you think I'm a fool?"

"Monopoly is not a good thing. Mr. Hans, you know that your status as a yellow race does not increase in the United States to the same extent as your wealth increases. If you own the Blue Lagoon grapes. The entire wine industry will reject you. Maybe you think you can take over the market through the quality of your wine. But wine is all about fame. If the entire wine industry boycotts Blue Lagoon wines. You need more time and effort to run a wine sale. ”

"If I hand it over, they won't resist?" Link sneered. "You've said a bunch of nonsense, and at least one of them is right. That's business. Well, the time has come. ”

He hung up the phone as he spoke. Truss called the number again and again, but he didn't answer.

After a phone call just now, he finally figured out the purpose of the other party. He really didn't expect that the other party was actually for the Blue Lagoon grapes.

But looking back, he found that he had entered a misunderstanding. The Blue Lagoon grapes are indeed on all of his land in order to have the benefits they have now. But others don't know. Truss, in particular, because of the curse of the vice-god of decay, he will especially regret knowing the benefits of this grape, and he will not believe it even if he knew.

The good things that are lost are the real good things. Because of remorse, Truss will have an obsession with Blue Lagoon grapes and want to have them again. It's no wonder that Truss has a passion for Blue Lagoon grapes.

After that, Truss called him several times, and he directly blocked the other party's number.

However, the other party seems to be in contact with him, and he is using a different number to call his number. Every time he heard that it was the other party calling, he hung up directly. After that, he went straight to the phone.

When the appetite of the other party for two days was hanged. He answered: "Mr. Telles." I warn you one last time, if you don't stop your current behavior, I will sue you for harassment. ”

Link was finally willing to answer the phone, and Truss certainly didn't want him to be angry and hang up again.

He said quickly, "Mr. Hans." The lawsuit between us will also take at least a year, and if you add in the lawsuit between you and Hull Donald, it will take at least two years, if not three years, before you have a chance to rebrand Blue Lagoon. If you agree with my advice, you will be able to solve all your problems in a maximum of half a year. Blue Lagoon wines can also get the glory they deserve. ”

He paused for a moment and said, "Besides, you can't guarantee that your Blue Lagoon grapes will always be yours. You own three large vineyards. There are a lot of workers. With just one foot-long vine, your Blue Lagoon grapes will be acquired by others. Instead of that, make a deal with me. What do you say?"

Link groaned for a moment and said in a hard voice, "My workers are very ethic!"

Truss seemed to sense his change, slowed down and said: "Mr. Hans, you should know that the so-called work ethic is just self-deception. You know, people can sell their souls to the devil for a long enough price! Maybe for $10,000, you can buy vines from your workers. ”

He was right, the vines had to be pruned every year, and as long as a worker brought one out, the Blue Lagoon grape seed would flow out.

It's just that the Blue Lagoon grape is a special case. Link wasn't worried about that at all.

He could pretend to care, though.

"If it's just a vine and I want to grow a large vineyard, I still have a lot of time to stabilize the Blue Lagoon wines. ”

"But they won't make it easy for you because they can grow Blue Lagoon grapes, but it takes time. On the contrary, if they know that they will soon be able to get Blue Lagoon grapes as well. Then you don't pose so much of a threat to them. At least they're all decades or hundreds of years of accumulation. The reputation is much higher than your Blue Lagoon grapes. They won't care about two to three years. But they won't allow you to have more than a decade of dominance. ”

"Could it be that if you sell them grape seedlings, they will relax their hostility towards the Blue Lagoon grapes?"

"At least not the worst-case scenario, will it?" Truss heard Link's tone loosen. He said harder. "We can totally work together. You provide part of the funding, and I take care of the cultivation of the seedlings. If anyone is targeting Blue Lagoon wines, you can not sell grape seedlings to each other. I think they'll have some scruples. ”

Link sneered in his heart, but pretended to be silent for a long time before saying, "Then why should I cooperate with you?"

"Because I'm in trouble with you. There's no way you're going to do this between solving this problem?" said Truss, a little shamelessly. "Until the lawsuit is over, no one knows what variables will arise. Maybe those people will support me in order to get into trouble with Blue Lagoon, and I'll keep insisting on suing you. I don't think you want that to happen either. ”.
