Chapter 131: Lawyers and Negotiation
Thirty-sixth floor, Sherman Building, William's Office.
Rossetti Ford watched as the recording appeared on his laptop screen. His expression became more and more excited.
He stared at the lady in the middle of the picture, who was crowded in the middle, and the gasp between his noses became louder and louder.
After a while, he turned red and turned off the video excitedly, and then carefully withdrew the USB flash drive, put it in his pocket, and said with a smile.
"Good, good. Mr. William is really powerful, and in just a few days, he can find out this matter clearly. If something happens in the future, I'll come back to you. ”
In admiration, Rossetti Ford took out the checkbook from his pocket, and then with a large stroke of his pen, he paid the balance in a lump sum cleanly, and handed over a business card.
"It's a pleasure to work with you, it's my business card, and we can play together if we have the chance. ”
After saying this, Rossetti Ford tidied up his clothes and stretched out his palm towards Zhang Jiao, "Goodbye." ”
Zhang Jiao stood up with a professional smile, then gently held his palm and said, "Goodbye." ”
After the two said hello, Rossetti Ford hurried out, and the joy in his expression made Ann who was walking towards him very puzzled.
She walked up to Zhang Jiao's side, stretched out her head and strode out towards Rossetti Ford, who was striding out in front of her, and motioned, "Boss, did you show him the video? Why is he still excited?"
Zhang Jiao glanced at An and said very casually, "I've shown it to him." As for why he is so excited, maybe someone has a special hobby?"
After hearing him say this, Ann's mind immediately came up with all kinds of absurd and unruly rumors and stories of the upper class people she had heard before.
She looked at Rossetti Ford who disappeared into the elevator with a strange expression, and then shook her head quickly, and after throwing all the messy thoughts in her mind out of her head, she immediately showed a flattering expression on her face, and pleaded in a low voice to Zhang Jiao.
"Boss, the customers are gone, isn't it time for us to go?"
Zhang Jiao looked at An with an excited face, whispered "um", and then said? "Let's go. ”
Anton overjoyed? She hurriedly ran to the door of the office, like a welcome at the door of a hotel? Quickly open the office door? Said sweetly.
"Boss, please!"
Zhang Jiao looked at Ann with a flattering face? Said angrily, "Say? What the hell do you want to do?"
Ann immediately said without thinking? "Boss, can you let me buy one more thing in the mall, just one. I've got my eye on a set of clothes, but there's a bag that really goes well with the clothes!!"
Coquettish? Ann up a finger? A pitiful look looked at him.
Zhang Jiao looked at An with interest, a bright smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then said, "Yes, but your contract is going to be postponed for another quarter?" If you agree, I'll buy it for you later. ”
"Okay? Thank you to the owner. Ann, who was already dazzled by the bag and clothes, agreed without even thinking about it.
Zhang Jiao looked at An with a happy face, and after habitually calculating? At the same time, there was a happy look on his face.
"Very good, and saved a lot. Really? Interns are still a good deal! The landlord's family doesn't have much food left!"
"Although if you really want to let go of your hands and feet to get money? You're sure to get a lot of money. But these money from unknown sources cannot withstand scrutiny in today's society. If I really dare to do this, I am afraid that it will not be two months before the IRS, that is, the National Tax Bureau, will come to your door and cause a lot of trouble. And trouble often brings surprises, which is not at all in line with his previous plans. ”
Therefore, Zhang Jiao has already made up his mind, in addition to the start-up capital, all the expenses and income of William's firm must stand up to scrutiny and verification, and even the start-up capital must be re-registered.
After walking out of his office door, Zhang Jiao said to An, who was still secretly happy, "Okay, don't be happy." How's it going to get your things ready?"
Ann immediately came to her senses, and she immediately trotted into the storage room next to her, took out a black briefcase and handed it over.
Zhang Jiao took the briefcase, opened the zipper, and after checking the photos and documents developed out in it one by one, he immediately strode to the elevator.
"Let's go. ”
Ann immediately followed.
The two went downstairs, and just as they walked out of the door of the Sherman Building, a black sedan stopped in front of them.
Fauci, who had come down one step earlier, immediately opened the car door respectfully for the two of them, and then sat in the driver's seat and drove towards the Pavia Philippe mall that he had agreed before.
Harlem.
With the passage of time, the vicious gangster incident that caused a sensation in the city some time ago has gradually been forgotten.
While a police car pulls up to the side of the road every once in a distance, it reminds men and women who come to have fun that it's not completely safe. But men and women, who have been holding back their diet for more than half a month, have long forgotten about the dangers that may occur.
For them, life without fun is the real horror. Therefore, the gold cave that is widely spread in the city of Harlein has gradually regained its former prosperity.
It's still early in the evening, but there are already a lot of people in Harlem's famous neighborhoods.
Some bold prostitutes and fans also quietly mingled in the crowd, out of the sight of the police cars that came to patrol, and made a deal.
Zhang Jiao sat in the car, calmly looking at the thugs who were idle around the block, and then turned into the police station, which was not very far from these busy streets.
After seeing the brand-new black sedan driving into the police station, the eyes that followed it immediately and quietly hid in the alleyway.
"Damn it. ”
Several of the thugs hiding in the alley cursed in a low voice, then put away their tools, re-searched for the next "lucky one", and then gave him a big surprise.
For example, when this "lucky person" has played enough, he will find that the four tires of his car have disappeared.
In desperation, he could only call a nearby repair shop to reinstall the tires, only to find that the newly installed tires were almost the same as his original tires.
How could he, who was crying with joy, not take out some more money to thank these good people?
Of course, these things didn't have much to do with Zhang Jiao, not long after stepping out of the car, in the fast food restaurant outside the police station, two middle-aged men in suits and leather collars immediately put down the drinks in their hands and walked out quickly with briefcases.
Zhang Jiao looked at the two men walking towards him, and immediately put a professional smile on the corner of his mouth, and then greeted him.
"Lawyer Lucius, I've kept you waiting. ”
The lawyer standing on the far left immediately smiled and said, "It's okay, we just came, not to mention that we have already started billing since Mr. Zhang called." Ha ha. ”
He smiled and adjusted the atmosphere as he stretched out his hand to another slightly balding middle-aged man next to him.
"This is our employer in this case, Mr. Zhang from William's office. ”
"Mr. Zhang, this is Wenze Yalves from our law firm. Mr. Wen Ze has dealt with the police many times and promised not to let your rights and interests be compromised. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Jiao immediately stretched out his right hand and said with a smile, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Lawyer Wen Ze." ”
Wen Ze immediately shook his hand lightly, and then replied, "It's an honor to serve you, Lucius has already told me about your situation." Please rest assured, this matter is actually very simple, and I will definitely fight for the best conditions for you. ”
"Provided, of course, that everything you say is true. ”
As soon as his words fell, Zhang Jiao had already said with a smile, "Please rest assured, there is absolutely no half-point, so I'll leave it to you later." ”
Lawyer Wen Ze nodded immediately.
The three of them immediately strode towards the police station.
As soon as he stepped into the police station, lawyer Wen Ze was already striding towards the police officer.
He took out his professional certificate, and then said to the police officer with a bitter face, "Hello, I'm Wenze Jarvis, this is my identification, we made an appointment for a special case report two hours ago, please help me contact Sheriff Gilbert of your bureau." ”
The officer at the front desk immediately looked through his ID, and then after opening it, he said to him, "Sheriff Gilbert is in office 307 on the third floor. ”
"Okay, thank you. ”
After lawyer Wen Ze thanked him, he immediately led the two of them to the third floor.
At the door of 307, just before lawyer Wen Ze was about to knock on the door,
He abruptly turned around and reassured, "I'll say it one last time." Mr. Zhang, are you sure you have the information about the Harlem Rush incident?"
"Yes, I'm sure. Zhang Jiao replied confidently.
Lawyer Wen Ze looked at his confident expression, immediately turned around, and knocked on the door of 307.
Knock knock knock!!
The door was immediately opened, and a mustachioed sheriff ushered them in.
"Are you the witnesses who came to report the lead?"
Sergeant Gilbert sat down, then pulled out the file of papers, writing and questioning.
"Yes. ”
Lawyer Wen Ze replied.
As he spoke, he pulled out his lawyer's certificate.
"Hello, Sheriff Gilbert. I am Wenze Yalvis, the lawyer representing Mr. William Chang in this case, and this is my ID. ”
"Lawyer?"
Sergeant Gilbert looked at his ID and straightened up a little.
Although he didn't know why the whistleblower came with a lawyer, his years of police career made him understand a truth.
Once there are these-stirring sticks, things will not be easy and smooth.
Sure enough, what Attorney Wen Ze said immediately attracted his attention.
"My client has important evidence of the vicious gang fight in Harlem some time ago, and this time I have come to entrust me to negotiate with your bureau. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Sergeant Gilbert, who was recording, had unconsciously dropped the pen in his hand, looked up at them suddenly, and said in disbelief, "What you said is true?"
During this period of time, the vicious gangster rush incident in Harlem can be said to have made the entire Harlem Bureau angry.
The government, the higher-ups, the people, the media.
Pressures from all sides eventually converged on their precincts, and no one in the entire Harlem precinct was comfortable.
After all kinds of reports, discussions, investigations, patrols, and investigations, the key is that they did not find the slightest trace of the perpetrator.
Not to mention how heartwarming and annoying this feeling is.
Now that he suddenly heard someone say that there was information about this case, how could he not be excited.
Sheriff Gilbert stood up suddenly, and as he usually did with the prisoners, he strode up to the three of them, and said with a fierce expression, "What is the evidence, tell me quickly." ”
Lawyer Wen Ze didn't seem to feel the evil aura that was about to emerge from his eyes, and still said unhurriedly, "Sheriff Gilbert, we are not criminal suspects, please don't talk to us in this tone." Regarding the evidence, we will not inform you until the negotiation with your bureau is completed, please understand. ”
Sergeant Gilbert immediately met Attorney Wenze's calm eyes, and he took a deep breath, but the anxiety and ecstasy in his expression remained unsuppressed.
That's right, it's ecstasy.
Sheriff Gilbert looked at the three people in front of him, and all kinds of thoughts kept coming to his mind for a while.
If, if you say, the credit for this case can be shared with yourself......
Sheriff Gilbert's eyes suddenly burned with a flame of ambition.
He looked at the three people in front of him, walked over like an angry lion, and said loudly.
"Now, tell me immediately what evidence you have, otherwise I have the right to detain you for the crime of knowingly not reporting it, this is not an ordinary law and order case, but a major and vicious incident involving the death of more than 50 people. Do you understand?"
It's just that the three people in front of him didn't react to this at all, they all looked at him calmly, and even had a hint of sarcasm in their eyes.
Lawyer Wen Ze looked at Sheriff Gilbert, who was almost leaning in front of him, and said with a smile on his face, "No, you don't have this kind of power. My client is a detective and belongs to a special profession and does not apply to ordinary regulations. ”
"Of course, you can forcibly detain us, but I want to tell you in advance that Attorney Lucius and I are members of the West Doall Law Firm, and if you can't give us a reasonable explanation, then wait for the court summons. ”
Sheriff Gilbert's eyes immediately flickered, and after he was silent for a while, his serious expression immediately softened, "I'm sorry, I've been about to be crushed by this case recently, so I'm a little nervous, please forgive me." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he continued, "Oh, by the way, what are you going to negotiate with us?"
Lawyer Wen Ze looked at Sheriff Gilbert, who immediately changed his face, and there was no surprise in his expression, he still said very flatly.
"My client would like to negotiate with your bureau about the bounty of this case, and in the follow-up press conference, your bureau must emphasize that the important information of this case was provided by William's firm, and its notification shall not be less than five times and less than three minutes, during which it is necessary to send someone to cooperate with my client's office to publicize it, and at the same time propose that the city government award me the medal for outstanding citizens of Harlein City, who was born at that time......"
The barrage of demands came out of Attorney Wenze's mouth so quickly that Sheriff Gilbert was already dizzy.
Attorney Wen looked at him with a smile, and when he came back to his senses, he said, "That's where we need to negotiate, I think, Sheriff Gilbert, you can call your superiors." ”
