Chapter 56: The last time I did something like this was myself

Jim held a cigar in his hand and pointed to Robert Morley, the lawyer sitting across from him: "I don't give the what method you use!" In short, let those cheap prostitutes disappear for me right away! ”

"I'm still investigating where the prostitutes get paid by the Actor companies, Jim, you can't just kick them out at this time, that will only make Lotus's public image worse, you should understand that big companies have to care about their own image, so ......"

"You don't need to teach me how to run the company! Robert! Don't fucking change the subject, I'm not interested in talking to you about business and making those prostitutes disappear! Some Massachusetts newspapers have reported the incident as local news, and both Mitch and Jonathan are about to be scared into needing counseling by the vulgar and shameless prostitutes, you know? Yesterday a prostitute who claimed to have AIDS rushed to a position only three meters away from Mickey! Although it was later discovered that the woman did not have AIDS, Mickey was so frightened that he paid a high price to contact the best private hospital in Boston and arrange various physical examinations for him! Jim stared at Robert with sharp eyes:

"Don't fucking investigate how those prostitutes collect money, if I were to hire those prostitutes, I would fucking think of 10,000 ways you wouldn't find out! When your people find out, maybe the Soviets have planted their flags on the dome of the White House, I don't need the process, I need the result, and the result is, I need those fucking prostitutes to disappear right now! Moreover, your next words, it's better not to refute me, otherwise what I say to you again is to replace you, you've already made a mistake once, you know? You told me that Actor hired an obscure law firm to run it, but the reality was that the partner of the country's sixteenth white shoe firm appeared in front of me, and I almost scared my balls back the moment I saw that white-haired girl! ”

Seeing Jim's serious and fierce look, Robert finally lowered his head, did not dare to talk back to him again, was silent for more than ten seconds, and dialed a phone call: "Renard, there are more than a dozen prostitutes demonstrating outside the Lotus company, I want you to deal with them quickly, I don't want the public to link them with the Lotus company." ”

The other side of the phone seemed to think for dozens of seconds, and then said something, and finally Robert nodded: "...... You can't look up the other person's ...... Of course we can't do the same with prostitutes, Actor is on the campus of Stanford University, and that's private land, you know? The Stanford police can easily kick the people we're looking for out of their territory without calling the police, and if you find a group of prostitutes to demonstrate in San Francisco, it seems more like helping Actor raise its profile, and you're still in Warwick? Already have a clue? Well, I'll explain it to the other party again. ”

Robert hung up the phone and looked at Jim Manz, who was looking at him waiting for the results: "Jim, it's better not to drive those prostitutes away. ”

"I hired you at a high price, just to make you tell me, better not? It's better not to! Jim loosened his tie and stalked his neck slightly, looking like he was ready to hurt someone.

"Renard has experience in this kind of thing, and the other side also has investigators in action, this kind of thing is to do more and make more mistakes, there must be their investigators near the prostitute, who just recorded the process of our expulsion from the prostitute, and when we get to the court, it will be troublesome, I mean, this kind of thing is not something that can be explained clearly to the judge and the jury in a few words, but it requires countless witnesses, testimony to prove that we did not participate in the expulsion of the prostitute, or that there is a good reason for the expulsion of the prostitute, in other words, This disgusting trick is to deliberately get you to drive those women away, and if you do it, your impression score on the jury side will drop sharply first. Robert said to Jim with a sincere expression:

"The best option is to have your two bosses take a vacation and leave the company for a period of rest."

Jim turned around irritably and cursed, at this time, the phone on Robert's desk rang again, he glanced at the number, did not pick up the phone, but pressed the speakerphone: "Renard? ”

"The investigator sent to California sent a message, it seems that there is a disagreement between Tommy Hawke and his lawyer Delia Case, they met at the Four Seasons Cafe, although our investigator couldn't hear their conversation, but by looking at it from a distance, he could see some scenes, and then after talking to the waiter at the café, the other guests, it felt as if there was a disagreement between the two, Delia returned a check to Tommy Hawk, but Tommy gave it back to her, and then Delia left with a gloomy face, through the airport side of the relationshipWe found out that Delia had returned to Washington. Renard, who was in charge of helping Robert with the evidence investigation, said in a calm voice:

"Combined with the fragmentation information I have obtained, I suspect that Tommy Hawke or Actor is preparing to change the legal team."

Hearing the voice on the phone, Jim immediately stepped forward and asked, "What are the other characteristics that add to your suspicions?" ”

"Actor Corporation recently added two more members of the Stanford Law School fraternity as legal assistants, and before them, Actor only had a law school graduate student named Sophia O'Connor working part-time, and based on the information we collected on campus, Tommy Hawke held a party a few days ago and invited members of the law school fraternity, which I suspect is likely to ......"

"It's likely that Delia's service is too expensive, and the Actor company can't afford it, so you think someone from Stanford Law School can give him a waiver or discount?" Robert Morley's eyes lit up and added.

Renard on the phone said: "It is very likely that this is the case, Delia returned the check to Tommy Hawke, and was returned to her by Tommy Hawke, I guess it is likely that Tommy Hawk thinks that although he can't continue to work with the other party, he wants Delia Keys to keep his mouth shut, and the second news, we learned that Actor Inc. seems to sell their software in Florida and Mississippi, and I have arranged for people to go to these two places to find out the specific sales, and they seem to have chosen TV sales, There is no cooperation with chain stores. ”

"I will call you again, this news is very timely, and let me know as soon as the sales data is obtained." Robert said to Renard, then hung up the phone and looked at Jim: "We finally have a new harvest, I have a senior brother at Davis Polk's New York headquarters, maybe I can let him come forward......"

Jim still had a gloomy and cruel expression just now, but at this time, he covered his mouth with his hands, frowned, and threw his own question to Robert: "Why didn't Actor choose Stanford Law School alumni before?" Shouldn't it have known about Delia Keys' offer and then went back to find a bargain in its pockets as soon as it could? ”

"You mean, they show us a show? Maybe someone from Stanford Law School noticed the lawsuit and offered to help......" Robert gave his opinion.

"Offer to help? Have you ever volunteered to help someone for free? Robert? Jim's gray-blue eyes stared at Robert:

"There's no benefit, you're not going to help people, so, I don't think the guys at Stanford Law School are going to be more noble than you in character, but if you think about it, what do those people get by helping Actor? Benefits in addition to banknotes! What is the benefit that makes Delia prefer to return the money to the other party and stay, and finally get the money and leave with a gloomy face? ”

"Industry fame...... Prejudication. Robert lowered his eyebrows and immediately looked up at Jim: "Actor thinks this lawsuit has the potential to lead to industry precedent!" And Stanford's active help, Delia's change of face and departure, are all because of this possible precedent! ”

Jim bit his cigar and looked at Robert, who seemed to have a sudden realization: "This is what you are good at, tell me, is it possible for a small company to get a precedent?" ”

"There is no big or small difference between the defendant and the plaintiff, but there is a difference between weak and strong in the eyes of the public, for example, the American Steel Company alone seems to be strong, but when it becomes a plaintiff and sues the U.S. federal government, it is weak, and the weak get the precedent......" Robert didn't finish, as if he thought of something:

"Those two states are poor areas of the United States, and they are country idiots, and every time there is a movement in the United States, the idiots in both places will respond stupidly, even if it only makes their situation worse, but they enjoy it, and just now Renard said that they sell software in the form of direct TV sales, I doubt ...... Most precedents in the United States are born in an environment where the small is broad and the weak are defeating the strong, in other words, the precedent is what most Americans want to see, and it has nothing to do with the law, but it doesn't have much to do with it, it's more like a group carnival, and everyone uses this opportunity to grab the maximum benefit as much as possible. ”

"Selling software to poor guys who haven't even seen a fucking computer?" Jim Manz rubbed his forehead with a headache, then picked up his blazer: "This guy named Tommy Hawk is a fucking talent, how good does he have to be to do this?" The last person I remember doing this was fucking me, and I was going to Florida myself, and I had a few friends there. ”

"You've ever sold software to poor ghosts, too?" Robert asked curiously.

Jim walked out while wearing a blazer: "No, a few months after the successful Apollo 17 moon landing, I sold a few plots of land in Littrow with a few classmates to a group of Montana hillbillies to open a wheat farm, told them to start work at any time, and then we used the money to go to a nightclub. ”

"Litro? Where is it? Does the United States have this state? Robert thought about it for a moment, having no memory of the name.

"On the moon, it's the name of a valley on the moon." Jim walked to the door of the office, turned to look at Robert, buttoned up his suit, and said:

"The name doesn't matter, the important thing is that the poor ghosts still don't think that I lied to them, they think that the government is corrupt and deliberately delays the development of agriculture on the moon...... Anyway, I'm going to find a way to wipe their commercials off the TV and see if there's a chance to expose that guy's plot and cut off the Actor's financial resources. ”
