No. 1803 on the top floor of Changming Hotel is a senior business suite, the overall area is second only to the two presidential suites on the top floor, and it is more focused on business office, not only offices, but also independent modern conference rooms with various equipment.

This was an eye-opener for Ding Laichun, general manager of Zhenhua Electronic Equipment Company.

Zhenhua Electronic Equipment Co., Ltd. was restructured from the city's first electronic equipment factory, and it is also the main enterprise of the cooperation with the American HLC company.

I thought that I had obtained the support of the Municipal Planning Commission and the Foreign Economic Cooperation Commission to get a big project, but who knew that it was a scam, and the deposit of 1.5 million US dollars was a loan obtained from the Osan Development Bank in the name of Zhenhua Company, and now the enterprise is burdened with heavy debts for no reason, and if it cannot be properly resolved, I am afraid that the factory will go bankrupt

Before attending the meeting in room 1803 of Changming Hotel, Ding Laichun received a notice from the Municipal Party Committee Office that the city was ready to form an emergency team to go to the United States in the name of Zhenhua Electronic Equipment Company to fight a lawsuit with HLC Company, and the leader of the emergency team was Lu Zheng, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and deputy mayor.

A few days ago, Ding Laichun was taken away for questioning by the investigation team, although Zuihou was released, but there seems to be any conclusion in the organization, Ding Laichun realized the seriousness of the problem, and he was trembling all day long, for fear that he would become a scapegoat for no reason.

On today's occasion, Ding Laichun was also an observer, and he couldn't interject.

In addition to Vice Mayor Lu Zheng, assistant to the mayor, Liu Tie, director of the Municipal Investment Promotion Office, and Wang Lianchang, deputy inspector of the municipal government, there were still five or six lawyers, one of whom was a professor of law at Renmin University in Beijing, surnamed Zhang, and a middle-aged man with a dashing demeanor.

In addition, there are three local lawyers in Wushan, all of whom have experience in foreign-related disputes, and two of them are foreigners.

Also participating in the discussion was Hans Müller, Chief Legal Counsel of Changming Group, who is a German and is said to be a well-known barrister in the Federal Republic of Germany.

But during the dinner, Hans Müller said that he studied mainly civil law systems, and of course, he should be somewhat modest, because when it comes to the case, he seems to be very sure.

After listening to it for a long time, Ding Laichun gradually understood that the civil law system and the common law system seem to be two legal systems, the United Kingdom and the United States practice the common law system, and Germany, France, Italy and other continental European countries practice the civil law system.

Civil law is based on the enacted legal provisions, and in the common law system, in addition to the enactment of the law, the previous precedents are also part of the law.

Hans Müller flipped through the material at hand and muttered something in German.

Caroline, who sat next to Mr. Mueller, acted as an interpreter, "Mr. Mueller said, because it is obvious in the purchase contract that Zhenhua Electronics Company purchased this production line to produce semiconductor components, but HLC sold the shiyan production line, which is a semi-finished product, and is suspected of commercial fraud, so this case can definitely be fought, but we need to hire lawyers in New York to cooperate, and lawyers in New York are very cunning, they can find all kinds of tricky precedents in the past, and we have a better chance of winning by cooperating with them." ”

Lu Zheng also learned a few days ago that Caroline was studying law on her own, often asking Mr. Muller for advice, and became a student of Mr. Muller, at the same time, it should be because of the origin of Cambridge University graduation to get preferential treatment, became a special correspondence student of Cambridge University Law School, it seems that it is really idle to be a secretary for yourself.

As for myself, I am also studying law, but it is not the same way as what they think, and I don't need to mention it

Bowing slightly, Lu Zheng said: "We must hire a lawyer in New York, our expert group will play a role of supervision and support, and if we fight a lawsuit, we will still ask a local lawyer in New York to fight, we are responsible for providing appropriate help, and we must also remind them that we will give a very generous commission, but please don't delay time in order to get more money, as Mr. Mueller said, lawyers in New York are very cunning." ”

Everyone present laughed, and it was true that many lawyers in New York law firms can often put off economic disputes, because the more time passes, the more they can be paid.

Lu Zheng also said: "In this lawsuit, I hope not only to get back our advance payment, but also to claim compensation from HLC and ask them to compensate us for the economic losses caused to us." Of course, the details of the lawsuit will be discussed when we have hired a suitable lawyer. ”

Mueller listened to Caroline's whispered translation of Lu Zheng's words, and said to Lu Zheng with a smile: "Mr. Chairman, I think that with a leader like you, HLC will regret not fulfilling the contract seriously, but I still don't want this lawsuit to have too much Chinese official color." ”

Lu Zheng nodded slightly: "I understand this." This sentence is answered in German.

With a look of appreciation in his eyes, Mr. Müller smiled: "It seems that I am worried." ”

Lu Zheng stood up: "Okay, everyone rest and rest, Mr. Mueller, please leave the matter of hiring a New York lawyer to you." ”

In fact, Lu Zheng naturally has a few suitable American cases in his hands, but in this case, the procedure is still clear.

Lu Zheng walked out of the conference room, and Liu Tie and Wang Lianchang followed.

In the past few days, with the suspension of Bu Kang and Liu Baojun for investigation, the personnel of the city party committee and the city government have also undergone relatively big changes.

For example, Liu Tie was transferred from the first vice president of the Development Bank to the assistant mayor and director of the Municipal Investment Promotion Office, temporarily presiding over the daily work of the Municipal Planning Commission.

Another example is that Lu Zheng was removed from the post of acting head of Binhai New Area, and Liu Shoucheng, former deputy secretary of the Binhai New Area Party Committee and head of the Organization Department, was appointed deputy head and acting head of the district.

After a fierce confrontation, Lu Zheng and Zhou Tao were completely on the same front, and Liu Tie's transfer to the mayor's assistant and presiding over the work of the Planning Commission were the results of the joint efforts of the two.

Of course, this is also because the members of the Standing Committee, including Secretary Feng Guiping, do not want a heavyweight department like the Planning Commission to have problems because of personnel struggles, which will affect the stability and unity of the entire Wushan, so Secretary Feng has adopted a certain degree of compromise.

Similarly, Liu Shoucheng acted as the head of the district, and "Feng Guiping's people" were transferred to the head of the Organization Department of Binhai New Area, and Lu Zheng did not object much.

However, Lu Zheng believes that Feng Guiping's temporary compromise does not mean that this matter has passed, and it is inevitable that he will make a big fuss about it, and now, the province and the central government have received a complaint letter from some people in Wushan accusing Zhou Tao of dereliction of duty, and this turmoil has just begun.

Coming to the lounge with a bar in the suite, Xie Kun was busy making coffee for Lu Zheng, Liu Tie, and Wang Lianchang, and soon, the strong fragrance overflowed, and it seemed that his jishu who made coffee was good.

Xie Kun was originally the deputy chief of the second section of the secretary of the party and government office of the new district, and at the same time, he was also Lu Zheng's classmate in the correspondence class of law of Jidong University of Science and Technology.

A month ago, the district party and government office was officially divided into the district party committee office and the district government office, Zhou Daqing, now in addition to serving as the director of the district government office, also serves as the secretary of the Xin'an Street Party Working Committee, and is no longer Lu Zheng's full-time secretary.

Taking the coffee in Xie Kun's hand, Lu Zheng tasted it slowly, thinking about what had happened recently, it was not the first time for him to go to the United States to fight a lawsuit, and it was not a big deal, and the global stock market crash caused by the U.S. stock market last year, his own fund avoided the risk, and copied the bottom of several American companies with great development potential.

Last year's stock market crash was the worst crash in Wall Street history, and within six hours, the U.S. stock market wiped out UUUU billion dollars, which was much worse than the stock market crash that caused the Great Depression in the United States 60 years ago, with many millionaires reduced to poverty overnight, and thousands of people having a mental breakdown and committing suicide by jumping off buildings. Within a day, the shares of almost all major companies plunged by about 30%, such as General Electric Co., which fell by 33%. , the telegraph and telephone company fell. , Coca-Cola fell 36. , Westinghouse fell 4 and Amex fell 38. , Boeing fell. Sam Walton, the richest man in Shijie today, lost $100 million in stock value in one day, which shows the intensity of this stock market crash to evaporate wealth.

His fund in the United States sold his stocks very early, and took advantage of the Federal Reserve Chairman to stabilize the market to provide a large number of liquidity loans to enter the financial market before speculating on the bottom, and now he is a small shareholder of many large enterprises in the United States.

If you stand in front of the stage and announce that you will receive this wealth, you will become one of the richest chaebols in the United States, but no matter how much money you make, you don't seem to have a sense of accomplishment.

On the contrary, the small things at home make me even more worried.

For example, Du Xiaohu, Guo Honghong suddenly resigned and left Wushan shortly after saying those words to herself, although Huzi didn't care, but what about his heart?

There is also Xiaoshuang, who was specially recruited by Beijing University of Science and Technology before the summer, and she has not been able to go to Beijing to see her until now.

There are thousands of things, and now, Liu Baojun has an accident again.

Thinking about it, Lu Zheng couldn't help but shake his head.

The doorbell rang, Xie Kun hurriedly ran out, and Lu Zheng said, "It should be Liu Baojun's lover, bring her over." ”

An hour ago, Zhou Daqing called, Liu Baojun's lover Yu Fengfei went to the district party committee and wanted to see Secretary Lu, so Lu Zheng asked Zhou Daqing to tell her where she was now, and there was no need to hide it.

Although I don't know what to say when I see Yu Fengfei, people want to see it.

Think about the last time I met Yu Fengfei or roamed the blue sea on the yacht, it was so pleasant to talk and laugh, but today Liu Baojun is in prison, and the impermanence of life is nothing more than this.

Lu Zheng sighed, Xie Kun really led Yu Fengfei in, Yu Fengfei's eyes were red and swollen, it seemed that he didn't know how many times he cried along the way, and when he saw Lu Zheng, he began to wipe his tears again, "Secretary Lu, you say, what should I do."

Seeing this, Liu Tie and Wang Lianchang hurriedly avoided it.

Xie Kun invited Yu Fengfei to sit down on the sofa, poured her a cup of hot tea, and then withdrew and gently closed the door

Yu Fengfei drank tea in her heart, wiped her tears, and was helpless, she really didn't know what to do, since Liu Baojun was taken away, she almost never slept peacefully, and wanted to inquire about the news, but she was closed everywhere, zuihou, and then she remembered Lu Zheng, who was just holding the hope of what happened, after all, her relationship with Lu Zheng was not close, but she just had a little bit of incense from her old colleagues.

But he didn't want to, he really saw Lu Zheng, but in front of Lu Zheng, Yu Fengfei didn't know what to say, just choked and wiped his tears.

Lu Zheng thought that Liu Baojun had finally come to this point, and felt like a stone had been pressed in his heart, and sighed: "Sister-in-law, I can't help you with the affairs of the Baojun, and I can only promise you that the responsibility that should not be borne by the Baojun will definitely not be planted on his head." ”

Yu Fengfei also knew that this case had alarmed the upper echelons, and it was not easy for Lu Zheng to say this, so he wiped his tears and said, "Secretary Lu, then, then please......" Immediately sadness came from it, and he couldn't help crying

zuihou, it was Xie Kun who came in and persuaded Yu Feng to fly out, and when Yu Feng walked out of the lounge quickly, he turned back with tears and said: "Secretary Lu, our old Liu is really wronged, you say that he is a cowardly person, usually someone gives a gift or something, he doesn't dare to accept cigarettes and alcohol, the American who killed a thousand knives, gave a watch as a souvenir, but later I learned that the people from the Commission for Discipline Inspection said that the watch costs more than RU 0 US dollars, which will condemn him for bribery and dereliction of duty, is he wronged?" ”

Lu Zheng nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll find out." "I have always felt that Liu Baojun is not very peaceful, in fact, it may be inevitable to get to this day, since I borrowed money from him a few years ago, I have thought that there may be such a day.

Listening to Xie Kun in the living room persuading Yu Fengfei to go out, a figure flashed at the door of the lounge, but it was Caroline who walked in.

Sitting opposite Lu Zheng, Caroline blinked her brown eyelashes and said, "It turns out that HLC still has bribery, and we have a greater grasp of this lawsuit." ”

Lu Zheng waved his hand and said, "Isn't this still indefinite?" ”

Caroline smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter whether it is a bribe in China or not, in terms of behavior, HLC has been suspected of commercial bribery." Don't worry, you won't hurt your friends. ”

Lu Zheng wanted to say that Liu Baojun was not his friend, but in Caroline's heart, the Communist Party officials might all have an image, so he didn't bother to explain, picked up the coffee, took a sip slowly, and said: "This lawsuit in the United States may be very long, I can't wait in the United States all the time, you help me keep an eye on it, and I'll leave it to you." ”

Caroline stroked her wavy sexy blonde hair and said, "Didn't I become your personal advisor?"

Lu Zheng thought about asking her to come forward to help state-owned enterprises in lawsuits, but it was also nondescript, so he couldn't help but laugh and said, "No way, just rest assured of you." ”

Caroline chuckled and shook her head, obviously feeling that her Chinese boss didn't know when she would learn to coax girls, but deep down, she didn't know Weishenme, which was very useful.
