Benier was not a fool after all, he quickly understood what his boss meant, and said thoughtfully: "Yes, I do seem to be a little under-......"

Although the car has been strictly inspected for anti-eavesdropping before, Benier knows very well that it is really not difficult to install a bugging device on a moving car, even a two-knife agent can quietly install it when the car passes through the traffic light and slows down, and even they can use new high-tech eavesdropping methods such as laser eavesdropping to ensure the success rate of eavesdropping, from this point of view, Benier is really not good enough. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info∈ ↗,

Lin Zheng patted Benier's shoulder and didn't say much.

Fortunately, reality is not a spy war movie after all, after getting out of the car, Benier once again arranged for someone to conduct a strict inspection of the car, and even the chassis was not spared, and it was finally determined that although it was not sure whether the car had been bugged during the drive, there was no eavesdropping equipment on the car. But Rao is like this, Benier also felt deeply guilty, and said to Lin Zheng with a look of shame: "Boss, I disappointed you. ”

"What is this, you have done well enough," Lin Zheng waved his hand, signaling Benier not to take it to heart: "Our affairs are not in a hurry, you can go back and arrange your family first." ”

Benier was also really worried about his wife and children, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally nodded: "Boss, I'll come back after I arrange it." ”

"Lao Bei, take it easy," Lin Zheng sighed and said: "Although the situation is very serious, and the other party is very likely to use some disgraceful means, but the business war is not a real war after all, don't panic, if we panic first, we will lose." ”

Benille was stunned. Only then did he understand the meaning of the boss's words, and carefully looked at the front line, Comrade Lao Bei was immediately ashamed: indeed, his reaction was a little excessive. "Boss, I'm ......"

"Don't think about it too much," Lin Zheng shook his hand: "Just keep a normal heart." Well, in this way, you convey our attitude through some channels: if someone on our side has an abnormal accident, I think that the other side has declared war on us in a despicable way, and we will retaliate back by more drastic means...... You should have such a channel, right? ”

"Yes, I have," Benier nodded as he listened, and the whole person was indeed a lot more relaxed, and said repeatedly: "I'll talk to the other party directly." ”

Benier understood what Lin Zheng meant. He's trying to get IBM, Motorola, and Microsoft into the wrong place, but Benier has to admit that this is the best way to do it for now: unless you want to elevate this war to a situation where each side spends a lot of money to assassinate each other's top executives, and even you yourself may face a bullet that comes from nowhere, our war is limited to "business wars".

Benier believes that this is the best way to do it at the moment.

Benier negotiated directly with the other party, but Lin Zheng felt that it didn't matter, and responded: "Hmm...... Pay attention to the tone of your voice and don't let the other person think that we are scared. ”

"Rest assured, this will never happen." Benier, who finally realized how determined his boss was about this matter, completely let go of his heart. However, after a moment's hesitation, Benier still cautiously asked, "Boss, are you really ready to die with the other party?" ”

Lin Zheng's words have two meanings, one is to delineate the marginal boundary of this war for both sides, that is, the two sides can use various means to win this war, but they cannot take actions such as assassinating each other's personnel for the sake of war; The second meaning. It's to tell the other person that once you do this, I will take more drastic measures to retaliate.

Some people will ask, how can such a situation occur in a civilized society now? Again, it's not a war. But in fact, in fact, this is a controlled, limited war under limited rules, and what Lin Zheng did was just to ensure that this war retains a bottom line - for example, Benier, even if Lianchuang Technology loses in this war, he can still spend the rest of his life with his family without worrying about food and clothing, instead of losing his life or his relatives in this war because of the hot head of a bastard on the other side.

And strictly speaking, this is also a good thing for the other side, after all, although there is a gap in the strength of the two sides, it is not so big that one side can directly crush the other side, since neither side can ignore the voice and attitude of the other side, then naturally there is a basis for delineating the boundary between the edge of the war.

"Although I don't think that the other party and the same will be doomed, but it's not a bad thing to be mentally prepared for this, right, Lao Bei?"

"That's right," Benier nodded without hesitation: "That's it!" ”

………………………………

Distance from Lin Zheng and Philip. There was still a little time for the secret meeting of Congressman Bird, and Lin Zheng did not intend to waste this time, and after analyzing the information sent by Benier, Lin Zheng decided to meet his future partner lawyer - to be precise, the law firm that was going to cooperate with Lianchuang Technology.

The lawyer is actually similar to a scavenging vulture, where there is carrion they fly to, although ordinary Americans do not know about the imminent war between Lianchuang Technology and the "anti-Lianchuang Technology Alliance", but the entire American legal community is already boiling! In the eyes of the barristers and barristers, the war was a collision between Mars and Earth!

Think about the lawyers in Microsoft's "trial of the century" a few years ago, it is not only a matter of making a lot of money, once they can take over this case, it not only means at least 100 million dollars in legal fees, but more importantly, any law firm can take this opportunity to step into the ranks of the top law firms and top lawyers - which is equal to a steady stream of money - provided that he does not mess things up.

In order to deal with these lawyers and law firms who come to promote themselves, Benier has to arrange a special person to do this work, there is no way, there are too many lawyers who plan to make a fortune through Lianchuang Technology, but there is also a problem......

"Boss, those top barristers were all signed by the other party first." When reporting the news to Lin Zheng. Benier was a little afraid to look into Lin Zheng's eyes.

Lin Zheng sighed depressedly, and didn't know what to say for a while: "Lao Bei, you are not good enough at this point." ”

Since this war with the other side will inevitably rely on the sale of lawyers, and ICQ is not short of money, as the CEO of ICQ, Benier should have finalized the cooperation with those top lawyers who are famous and make judges feel headaches when they hear their names. Instead of being preempted and signed away.

"Boss, I've let you down." Only then did Benier realize the seriousness of the problem, and he couldn't wait to stuff his head into his crotch: don't talk about anything else for the time being, just talk about this matter, Benier did a really bad job.

Although Lin Zheng was depressed, since the matter had happened, depression would not help solve the problem after all, taking a deep breath, Lin Zheng could only hope that he could redeem it from other places: "I am not very familiar with the American legal profession. But I know that the top barristers and the top barristers charge a lot of money, and even if IBM, Motorola and Microsoft join forces, they can't bring all the top lawyers under their umbrella, right? They don't have to. ”

If IBM, Microsoft, and Motorola were to take out all the top barristers in the U.S. legal profession to help them fight this lawsuit, it would be impossible without $5 billion, but they would be willing to spend at least $5 billion on legal fees for this war, maybe as much as $10 billion?

This number sounds scary and impossible, but it's really not much, just look at the subprime mortgage crisis a few years later. How much did the hapless Lehman Brothers spend on the lawyers?

"Yes, there is no need. And they are absolutely reluctant to pay such a large sum of money," Benier nodded, and he naturally understood the truth, "but you know, they have a good relationship with those top lawyers. ”

"You mean they let the lawyers they have a good relationship with give up working with us?" Lin Zheng was surprised when he heard this, and his mouth couldn't close in surprise: "How is this possible?" Such a big case may not occur in 10 years, and a law firm may not be able to encounter it once in a lifetime. As long as they seize the opportunity to establish their position in the industry, can they pass up such a good opportunity because of their relationship with IBM, Microsoft and Motorola? ”

In Lin Zheng's opinion, this is simply impossible!

"Of course they won't and can't do this, and if they dare to do it, they are the public enemies of the legal profession, and even if they are crazy, they will not dare to offend the entire legal profession." "But they told the barristers that they could take the opportunity to raise the price," Benier said with a wry smile. ”

"......" Lin Zheng was stunned for a while, and finally burst out with a foul sentence with a blue face: "!" These bitches & bastards! ”

He finally understood his opponents' calculations: yes, we can't stop you from paying for the best lawyers, but we can make you pay more! Let you have a lot more money!

Although they can't catch all the top lawyers...... There is no need for this...... But they can just screen the best lawyers and then tell the lawyers: the best lawyers have been selected by us, and there are only so many top lawyers left, you can take this opportunity to make a good fortune!

This practice is very hateful, but Lin Zheng also has to admit that this method is very effective, not only disgusting himself, but also taking this opportunity to curry favor with those insatiable bastards in the legal profession - or the money used by Lianchuang Technology, it is really beneficial and not costly.

Comrade Lao Bei is more and more ashamed, this is indeed his mistake, and it is a very serious mistake, although it is not sure how much money Lianchuang Technology and ICQ will lose because of this, but the most optimistic estimate will not be lower than 8 figures.

Of course, the unit is in US dollars.

"Lao Bei, you really really disappointed me." Gritting his teeth and looking at Benier, Lin Zheng said word by word: "If I don't know you well enough, I have to wonder if you have accepted the other party's benefits and deliberately stumbled on me." ”

Lin Zheng's words can be described as extremely serious, Benier's face turned white with fright, and the clothes on his body were instantly soaked, and he hurriedly said: "Boss, I really didn't mean to, I definitely didn't take their benefits......"

Everything he has is because of Lin Zheng's trust, not to mention what kind of scene he would be now without Lin Zheng's trust, even if he Benier is in danger this time, he will face Lin Zheng's cruel revenge in the future, and he will not think about stability in the second half of his life - of course, the premise of all this is that Benier really accepted the benefits of the other party and deliberately stumbled Lin Zheng.

"I know," Lin Zheng said with a blushing face, it was because of this that he was extremely depressed, this was really just the result of Benier's carelessness, if Benier really accepted the benefits of the other party, this matter would be easier to deal with, and the cost of any kind of handling method would not be greater than now. Taking a deep breath, Lin Zheng was extremely depressed and extremely aggrieved and said to Benier: "Lao Bei, I don't want a similar situation to have a next time, you know what I mean, right?" ”

"Yes, yes, I understand." Benier nodded again and again, just now he was really frightened by Lin Zheng's appearance: "Boss, I promise that a similar situation will never happen again." ”

"Look," shook his head helplessly, Lin Zheng decided to observe Benier's goods for a while before speaking: "Tell me about the three law firms I want to meet this time." ”

"Yes, the first is Akon Law Firm, a five-star rated law firm specializing in antitrust and intellectual property, and one of the largest law firms specializing in antitrust and intellectual property in the United States, headquartered in Washington, D.C., with more than 800 employees......"

"Wait a minute," Lin Zheng suddenly prepared Benier's words: "Why didn't IBM, Microsoft, and Motorola cooperate with Akon Law Firm?" What is the reason? ”

"Because they chose Eversheds," Benier said with a wry smile: "Compared to Eversheds, Akon Law Firm is only a small brother, Eversheds has more than 1,600 employees, almost twice the size of Akon, and at the same time the number of barristers is nearly three times that of Akon, and they specialize in the same ......."

"I see...... Lin Zheng nodded with a wry smile: Dare to love the other party has a better choice. (To be continued.) )u
