And so it ended, and Franklin and Paul the Bruce began to seriously seek the legal weapon of capitalism to protect themselves.

This was also taken for granted, and apart from a few ultra-conservative ridicules in their own newspapers, it did not cause much of a stir.

Everyone knows that the matter is over, and Franklin will not be able to return to Stanford even if he fights a lawsuit.

There is no evidence, but everyone is convinced that this is the case, including Edward.

What is more interesting is that after Franklin left Stanford, the FBI and state police began to harass him with impunity, supposedly to find out the guys in his arsenal, and deliberately leaked the information to the media.

The nickname "Alparodo's Rifle Shop" has largely replaced the public's perception of him, from "a crazy professor with ideals to change social injustice" to "a potential ruble b-bearer who shoots at people if he doesn't agree".

In fact, the latter is what Franklin is, but as a highly intelligent professor, he has always avoided this image from being known to the public, and in the previous Stanford years, he could have relied on the school's natural isolation from the outside world to set up a persona for himself, and did not have to worry about other sudden things.

It's good now, after he lost his job, he was thrown directly into society.

So, he began to appreciate real life.

The iron fist of the capitalist government began to blast at him like a piledriver.

Franklin has enjoyed the dividends of the rise of America for most of his life, and he is actually a vested interest group, so he may have a problem with his personal character and his mental personality is not normal, but his behavior is commendable - but it is time for him to pay the price for his actions.

Of course, in addition to the bad things, there are also some interesting things happening.

After leaving Stanford, he also received an unexpected benefit – that is, he was able to find a lawyer!

He began to publish in the newspapers to seek legal aid, and there were really some good lawyers who came to his door to provide legal aid for free.

This surprised Edward very much, knowing that Franklin was going to sue Stanford and Principal Lyman, and he couldn't find a lawyer before, so why was it suddenly different?

He pondered this question repeatedly, but there was still no plausible and credible explanation.

Fortunately, he has been tossing for so many years, in addition to making his reputation and status and property rise significantly, the biggest benefit is to get to know a large number of social elites, these guys are all thousand-year-old foxes, and they are the top existence in their respective industries, and being with them makes Edward feel that he has benefited a lot.

So who do you go to for guidance?

Roseberg ...... This is the first thing that comes to mind.

Edward immediately dismissed the idea, it was not a matter of law, and when asked her, she would have replied that "these lawyers have been inspired by justice...... It's such a stupid girl who can still be alive and kicking around in New Haven...... I have to sigh that capitalist society is really good......

Secondly, his grandfather, the old man is a real expert in this area, but look at it is already eleven o'clock in the evening, counting the time difference between the two hours, don't bother him, the old thing is also old, and he originally slept lightly, plus three highs...... Let him have a good rest.

The longer the old thing lives, the more good it will be for him.

And the best way to communicate with his grandfather is not on the phone, but to go to the small courtyard full of vines but always sunny, the grandparents and grandchildren drink tea and eat their grandmother's baked quyi, at this time, the old man's mood will be very relaxed, without Edward to ask, he will dismantle all kinds of routines, carefully dismantled them, and tell them to his grandson as an MBA case.

So it's not in a hurry.

Solomon, he must know everything, but Edward himself has self-esteem, and he has to try to maintain his persona in front of Solomon, although this persona must seem ridiculous to the other party...... But after all, it has to be done.

Thinking about it, only Hefner was there, but just a few days ago, he was instructed, if he went to consult again, would he look down on himself?

Hugh Hefner was a good friend, but also an extremely shrewd businessman......

And, at this time...... According to this man's usual extravagant, corrupt, and depraved lifestyle of extremely low moral character (when this string of adjectives came to Edward's mind, he was not angry at all, but had a hint of ...... Envy? Hefner must have been with the three bunny girls...... What about copying the constitution of the Democratic Party......

Yes, this is what Hugh Hefner is most criticized by the conservative society, and his public propaganda is actually a practice - to find three bunny girls to ...... with him every night

Calculating the time, it should be the time when the battle is fierce, and Hefner is already in his forties and in good health, but three times a night...... Not to mention that the body of the iron is a titanium alloy cutting part, it can't withstand it, not to mention that it is not an ordinary bone-scraping steel knife that can become a rabbit girl, this is Nima is an ultra-light 10,000-ton hydraulic press, no matter how much medicine Hefner took, the three went up and sat on the wheel, and squeezed out everything for him......

At this time, it is a curse to call and interrupt others' excitement.

After thinking about it, he dialed out a phone call:

"I'm Larry, who's fxxk calling at this time, hey, damn it, tap, you've bitten my b-skin!"

……

After getting acquainted with Larry Flint, Edward developed a good habit of holding a handkerchief in his hand whenever and wherever he wanted to wipe his sweat.

"Larry, I'm Ed ......"

"Ah, my dear Ed...... Oh, shit, light, are you a wolf cub in the Loki Mountains? Why are the teeth so sharp! God, I'm not talking about you, Eddard ......"

"Uh, Larry, I'll call you again later......"

"No, no, no, no problem, Larry has always treated his friends like a motel on the highway - anytime, anything......"

"I seriously suggest you write it, you have contributed more to rhetoric than Chomsky, you really ......" Edward continued to wipe his sweat, and the phone call with Larry Flint was full of surprise or fright, this guy hadn't read for a few years, but he really had a talent for metaphors that surprised everyone.

Immediately, he heard a noise coming from the microphone...... The kind with spicy ears.

After 30 seconds, Larry Flint's voice was ethereal: "Ed, I think I've gotten rid of some worldly concerns, so what are you looking for me?" Now is the time I am closest to God, and I feel like I'm a philosopher......"

Edward shook his head, he even felt that the phone receiver had a faint smell of fish, but he still patiently expressed his doubts: "Why? Why did Franklin have someone to defend him after he left Stanford? ”

"Hahaha" The rough laugh almost shattered his eardrums "Ed, you're a nerd after all, sorry, I don't mean anything, well, it's actually a very simple question......"

"I'm listening"

"Do you think Franklin had a better chance of winning against the Professors' Committee when he was in school, or was he more likely to win against Stanford when he left campus?"

"This ...... In school, of course, after all, the professors' committee, as the arbiter of the school, will be a little biased towards the teachers of the school......" Edward replied hesitantly, vaguely understanding what Larry meant, but still lacking some "so......"

"Are you asking why no one wants to help in a lawsuit that is likely to be won, and there is pro bono legal aid in a lawsuit that has little chance of winning?" Larry asked

"Yes!"

"So, you're not a businessman! Eddard "Larry Flint yawned, "Listen to me, let's say you win the first case, which means that the Professors Council vetoed President Lehman's decision to expel Franklin...... Well, won? But what about after that? You're going to completely offend the school committee and the principal, as well as those who make a living licking his jb......"

"Ahh Edward was stunned, he understood!

"It seems that you also understand, and it is indeed a smart child! And now, Franklin has been completely kicked out of Stanford, and the possibility of him going back is almost zero, so at this time, even if everyone gives him legal aid, it will not change the outcome, and President Lehmann will naturally not care too much about this......"

"In the face of Franklin's endless appeals...... Stanford is never short of money, and President Lehmann took the opportunity to hand over this list to a law firm with whom he has a relationship...... It will cost a lot of money, but it is spent on reason, and the audit can't find fault with it. In the dismissal of Franklin, President Lehmann had the support of almost everyone, and he obtained enough moral advantage on behalf of Stanford, and in order to maintain this moral advantage, he had to spend money to respond to the lawsuit to ensure that Franklin would not overturn the case. Think about how much it costs?! ”

"So, if you're Principal Lyman, you'd probably want someone to give Franklin judicial aid at this moment, right?"

"Yes," Edward admits honestly, and then asks curiously, "Larry, what if it's you?" What would you do if you were Principal Lehman? ”

"I, haha, of course, took advantage of this opportunity to find someone to instigate Franklin, so that this bastard could devote the rest of his life to fighting a lawsuit with Stanford. Of course, many of the lawyers who provide legal aid to Franklin are bastards, and they just want to take the opportunity to gain media exposure if they have no skills. If I were Principal Lehman, I would pay for Franklin's best lawyers on the West Coast or in the whole country to keep the lawsuit going! ”

"It's none of our business whether that Franklin idiot lives or dies!" Larry began to laugh nervously again, "As a businessman, I only see in my eyes that this stupid guy has huge business value!" A reasonable and legal way to take out the money of the Stanford Foundation for benefits and buy people's hearts! ”

"Ed," Larry Flint, was very emotional: "You understand? What's the best business to do? Of course, it is a sure profit, and there is no need to worry about the purchase and sale of cash sources...... Think about it, if you were a partner in the law firm that President Lehman had his eye on, how grateful would you be when you received this order? You're going to do whatever it takes to repay him, aren't you? ”

"Yes" someone nodded in acknowledgement, having to say that neuropathy is neuropathy, this guy's sense of smell is really astonishing.

"Big law firms? It's all about dealing with high-end circles...... You look at Principal Lehmann, he is said to be a serious doctor himself, and he teaches well...... Now that he is the principal, he must have the idea of continuing to climb up, so where will he climb next? Come to think of it, it's probably the Stanford Trust, tsk...... I don't play this, but I do. ”

"This bastard is not like me, or I am much more noble than him."

"Noble" Edward couldn't hold back, and laughed directly, this is indeed a little, a little that.

Right, a guy who sells the most explicit erotic juice (non-typo) actually claims to be nobler than Principal Lyman?

"Hey!" Larry was unhappy, "Ed, I'd suggest you leave Stanford and Yale now, you don't do any work, follow me, carry me a bag for half a year, I promise you'll learn more than you did in three years at Yale." Believe it or not? Of course, there are more girls! ”

"Uh......" Although they are friends, Edward really can't say something.

"Well, it seems that you are not convinced, then let me tell you why I am more noble than Principal Ryman. Of course, I'm engaged in a bit of that, but it's not illegal, it's feasible if the law doesn't prohibit it! You taught me that! What's more, if it weren't for "Womanizer", do you believe that the number of truck drivers committing crimes would have risen significantly? Well, it's all trifle. Why am I more noble than Principal Lyman? ”

"Because, every penny I earn, it comes out of the pockets of consumers, and they do it willingly. I provide products and services, and they pay for them. What is it? This is the most essential model of business. Whether it's the three-point girls at the bar or the girls in the magazines who don't wear anything, they all get paid properly for my business. So you see, everything I do is determined by the market. This is called the ...... of the market economy."

Edward: "Larry, you take it a little bit, the term market economy, I'm familiar with it, but I don't feel like you use it like that." ”

"Why not," Larry was upset, "Listen, I haven't read much, but I'm a businessman." What is called a market economy means that anything can be put on the market for an open appraisal value and traded, and there is no violence or other factors to undermine the principle of mutual consent of the transaction. For example, last year, it cost $20 to find a girl to take a set of photos without clothes, but this year the economy is bad, and many supermarket salespeople have lost their jobs, and as long as they give $15, they are willing to pose any way, even sneering at you...... That's right, that's why the ghost will cost $20. On the other hand, if the economy recovers next year, and the girls who originally specialized in taking pictures go to work in the car factory, then they will have to pay 30 dollars before they are willing to make a film, and if they want to take a bite, they will have to add five dollars! ”

"Okay...... Larry, why do you care so much about a mouthful......" Edward was speechless
