Chapter 331: A Little Trouble

After finalizing the preliminary cooperation intention, Lu Li suddenly remembered an incident mentioned by the reporters not long ago, and hurriedly asked: "By the way, do you know about the pet rat I raised to give sea buckthorn fruit to patients?"

Bernard nodded slightly, "Of course, in a way, that little guy is now an animal star, at least there are far more people in the United States who know him than I do." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"So you say if someone really uses this as an excuse to prosecute illegal drug trials, will I be in trouble?"

Although Lu Li was very calm when the reporter asked and answered, he actually didn't know the bottom of his heart.

The reason is simple, American law is mainly divided into criminal law and civil litigation, the former has clear provisions and sentencing standards, the latter is very vague, and even often there are cases where the relatives of the criminals who were shot down in turn demand that the victims compensate for their financial losses.

Don't think this is strange, in fact, the success rate of similar lawsuits is not low, and if you lose the case, you will have to pay "compensation" ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars per month.

Bernard obviously saw Lu Li's concerns, and explained with a smile: "Hehe, please don't worry about this.

First of all, like you said, sea buckthorn fruit is a fruit, not a drug, and it is not illegal to give it to strangers to take it, not to mention that the person who took it did not produce bad effects.

Secondly, if anyone wants to make a fuss about this, then he must prove to the jury that you can control the pet rat 100 percent.

Believe me, it's almost impossible to do that.

Of course, there will still be a little bit of trouble.

For example, patients who are suddenly pulled back from the brink of death will definitely not be willing to give up the chance to survive, so I think you should come up with a solution as soon as possible.

You know, I don't want to fight such a lawsuit, because neither the jury nor public opinion will be on our side.

Once a similar civil lawsuit is heard in a Miami court, there is only one outcome that awaits you, and that is to lose the case.

And I've heard that the vast majority of patients are children, and if someone dies due to a sudden deterioration, their heartbroken parents and loved ones are likely to lose their minds and take some drastic actions.

Trust me, you won't like to face that kind of ......"

Perhaps in order to enhance his persuasiveness, Bernard deliberately made a very terrifying expression, and his tone revealed a strong warning tone.

As we all know, the United States is a typical country with a law of the sea, most of the time the role of judges is only to uphold the court process, and convictions are mainly done by jury, rather than by judges and specific legal provisions like the civil law system.

This means that whoever gets the support of the jury, whether it is the litigation or the defense, will win.

In order to do this, American lawyers can be said to do everything, not only good at biting each other's weaknesses, but also acting skills comparable to Oscar winners, crying when they say they cry, laughing when they laugh, and many scenes in court trials are ten times more exciting than movies.

But there is a premise for everything, that is, the jury must not be allowed to have preconceived notions, otherwise they will lose before the trial begins.

There is no doubt that Lu Li does not want to face such a civil lawsuit at all, let alone let those terminally ill children die.

But the problem is that he can't just provide the other party with golden sea buckthorn fruit for free, if this opening is opened, then countless terminally ill individuals and groups will come to the door in the future, which is a disaster for any business.

Lu Li shuddered at the thought of countless desperate patients surrounding him, begging for a fruit so that he could live a few more weeks.

He took a deep breath and asked with a solemn expression, "Do you have any suggestions?"

Bernard touched the beautiful beard on his chin and replied, "My advice is to sign a non-disclosure agreement with the parents of those children, make a charitable donation in the name of the company, and then let them use the money to buy the fruit." In this way, you will not only be able to solve the troubles that may arise satisfactorily, but also establish a positive image of the company, and by the way, you will be able to deduct 10% of the company's annual income, and the excess amount will be reduced in the next year. ”

"Can you still play like this?" Lu Li raised his eyebrows in disbelief.

Although he had long heard that the richer people in the United States usually pay less taxes, and most of the rich people will use the money that should have been given to the government to make charitable donations, or buy jewelry, luxury cars, airplanes, villas, etc., but he never expected that there are so many small tricks hidden in them, which is equivalent to kicking money from the left pocket to the right pocket, and earning the gratitude of others.

Is there anything more shameless in the world than this?

"Hahahaha! Why not?" Bernard asked with a laugh. "What we did didn't break any of the laws. You have to understand that reasonable tax avoidance in the United States is something that everyone is doing, and there are many similar tips, if you are willing to listen, I can take the time to give you a separate lecture to ensure that you open your eyes. ”

Lu Li smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "Okay, what you said makes sense, this matter will be handled by you with full authority, I have only one request, that is, as soon as possible." ”

Bernard nodded happily and agreed: "No problem, give me a few days, I believe it should not be difficult to convince a few parents who love their children deeply." Oh, by the way, where are you going to stay tonight?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, maybe I will stay in a hotel, maybe I will make do with a friend's house. Why do you ask this?" Lu Li, who had solved his worries, was in a good mood, and even his tone of voice was much more relaxed.

"Nothing, I think if you don't have anywhere to go, maybe you can go to my apartment, where there are not only hot babies, but also a lot of gadgets that will make you feel happy from the heart. Bernard extended the invitation with great interest.

Lu Li shook his head and refused without thinking about it: "No, thank you, I'm not interested in these." I think you'd better quit those little white powders, or you'll ruin yourself sooner or later. ”

He knew too well how depraved the private life of the lawyer in front of him was, and he didn't want to get involved in it at all.

"No smoking, no drinking, no drugs, not even looking for women, your life is boring by the standards of a billionaire. Forget it, since you have your own plans, let's say goodbye this time, and I'll ask the assistant to send you the bill tomorrow, goodbye!"

With that, Bernard got into the Porsche sports car and disappeared into the night in a few moments.

"Whew...... It's finally over......" Standing on the side of the road in front of the police station, Lu Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he picked up his phone and was about to make a call, a passing white Toyota sedan suddenly started and stopped next to it......
