America 1982

Sophia and the two assistants sent by the White Shoes Club were sweating on their foreheads at this time, while Holly was staring unblinkingly at Tommy and SSD Chairman who were leaning on the car and chatting calmly outside the garage door. charles.

Jason didn't notice the nervousness of the four people at all. He was sitting at his desk, casually flipping through the newly released National Review that made the four of them so nervous that they turned pale.

This was brought over by Charles. As a man who dreams of becoming a national policy adviser to the president one day, this guy has subscribed to various political newspapers and magazines since he was fifteen years old, and obtained all kinds of knowledge and clues he wanted to learn from them. He discovered After reading an article in the latest edition of National Review, I contacted Tommy Hawke immediately and rushed over to communicate with Tommy in person.

"If you hadn't asked SSD to help you prepare 176 amicus curiae in advance, and the other party had done this outside the court, when the trial started, the Actor would have been waiting for the court to be filled with various parliamentarians and politicians. The lawyer acts as an amicus curiae who appears to be impartial, but is actually biased towards Lotus, and will take turns to trample you." Charles handed Tommy a cigarette, then patted Tommy on the shoulder:

"Anyway, whether it's your luck or your foresight, at least now, you don't have to worry about Actor Company dying in the first blow from the opponent. This blow is pretty damn scary, let alone cleaning up Actor Company. Even if it is several times larger than the Actor Company, I am afraid it will be so scary that it will break out in a cold sweat."

Tommy took the cigarette and looked at Charles: "Do you think it's exciting to start a small company? Are you interested in joining? If you join, this company will be yours, and I will go back immediately to help SSD organize the party."

"Don't tempt me anymore, you bastard, okay?" Charles laughed: "Also, you don't need to help SSD hold parties anymore. Ian said he won't keep the position of party manager anymore. Here you go, you fucking ruined our golf match with the White Shoes Club, damn traitor."

"I turned the tide in the end and won the championship, okay? You can practice your swing skills more and pray to God to help you extend the length of your clubs. You can also do the same as me." Tommy lit the cigarette and said with a smile. : "My dear Boss, speaking of which, according to the judgment of your future national policy adviser to the president, will the other party make any other moves after this move?"

Charles exhaled the smoke, shook his head, and said with certainty: "No need, this move is enough. Even if there is a big company standing behind your Actor, this move can make Lotus fearless. This article is Showing strength, you know? I just want to tell those guys who are interested in Lotus. Maybe Lotus doesn’t have a foothold in the software industry for the time being, but I have a huge network of contacts. I may not be able to help you much in the market, but if you want to use some By other means, after I stand in court with my face broken, my connections will definitely be enough to kill my opponent in the toilet of the court."

"Hey, there's nothing written on it, not even the name of Actor Company?" Jason quickly flipped through the entire magazine, shouted to Tommy and Charles who were smoking and chatting, and then looked at the other four people: "What the hell are you doing? What are you nervous about?"

The two White Shoe Club assistants and Sophia were still rejoicing in the aftermath of the disaster and had no time to pay attention to Jason's doubts.

All three of them were law students, and they noticed problems with the magazine right away when Charles brought it.

An article called "Why We Need a Patent System" appeared in the National Review. This article told readers three questions in very straightforward words.

The first question is the concept of patent. The inventor is granted a limited monopoly on a technology and charges a licensing fee. In return, the inventor can disclose its technical details to the licensee so that others can use the invention. Continue to develop based on technology.

The second question is that the total annual profits earned by all commercial companies in the United States from patents is approximately US$500 million, and the litigation costs arising from various patent disputes are US$7.7 billion.

The third problem is that in areas where relevant subdivision laws are lacking, such as the computer software industry, patent rights are seriously ignored, which will reduce the innovation power of patent holders in the software industry.

If you still don’t understand what’s going on just by reading this article, you’ll know it clearly by looking at the author’s signature: Jim Manz, former assistant editor-in-chief of National Review, former management consultant at McKinsey Management Consulting, and vice president of Lotus Corporation .

Although the article does not mention Actor or even the name of Lotus, these future litigants all know that this is Lotus’s killer move. This article is a rallying cry. Next, Lotus will quickly contact Those politicians and parliamentarians who belong to their own circles can intervene in the upcoming litigation with just and fair reasons and as amicus curiae who appear to be fair and impartial on the surface.

There are only two types of amicus curiae that the court values ​​the most. One of them is civil servants holding state positions or politicians and congressmen who like to be in the limelight.

That means that once the trial begins, a dozen or more politicians and lawyers will appear in the court and talk to the judge and jury, of course, according to the script provided by Lotus.

"Jim Manz?" Seeing that no one answered his doubts, Jason glanced at the author's signature: "The vice president of Lotus is just a vice president. What are you afraid of? The other party has Jim, and we have Tommy. Don't Underestimating what a stupid asshole Tommy is.”

Unlike the few people who ignored Jason's question just now, Jason's words now made Holly and Sophia turn around and look at Jason, and the expressions on their faces became more vivid.

Indeed, although Actor Company does not have a person with a dazzling resume like Jim Mantz, they do have a bastard from the country named Tommy Hawke.

This bastard is like a prophet who has long known that big companies are unscrupulous. From the day Actor was established, he has been like a tailor, helping them put all kinds of luxurious clothes they can collect on Actor layer by layer. In this way, In the eyes of the world, Actor Company looks like a high-class figure. Every piece of clothing on its body is gorgeous and complicated enough, so that people cannot pay attention to its dirty body since its establishment.

Capitalists will all beautify themselves, but Tommy, the bastard, started this work before he became a capitalist.

It looks like Actor has been waiting for this moment to deal a fatal blow to Lotus since the day it was established.

"The other party is a bastard from McKinsey \u0026 Company, and Tommy is just a bastard from the East Coast country." Holly exhaled and said to Jason, "Do you know McKinsey \u0026 Company?"

Jason snorted disdainfully: "I don't need to know, because I believe that neither McKinsey nor that bastard named Jim will do what Tommy can do. Can you think of this bastard? How can you repay his dear roommate who has always supported him with all his strength? Can you think of it?"

"He broke his promise? Didn't he do what he promised you?" Sophia asked.

Jason stretched out his finger and pointed at his chest: "Sophia, before answering this question, you have to abandon your identity as a human being and then think about the answer. I said, this is not something a fucking human can do."

"I can't guess." Sophia simply gave up thinking.

"Of course you can't guess that you're not Tommy, that bastard, that idiot. The way you repay me is to spend money to buy me an award, you know? The kind awarded by the California Screen Actors Guild and various big and small film companies. Awards such as Best Actor and Best Movie." As Jason spoke, he threw the magazine directly into the trash can:

"So, the shameless tactics of this guy named Jim are nothing compared to our Tommy. We can always believe that Tommy is an asshole."

"I'm not sure that what you just said is of comparable value to what Jim Mantz did." A white shoe club elite asked Jason with some confusion.

Jason turned his head and looked at him like an idiot: "Because he can fucking convince me to agree to this matter. As a future litigator and a person who makes money with his mouth, tell me that you are standing in the fucking court. Is it easier to convince a judge to make the right choice, or is it easier to convince me, a normal person, to make a stupid choice?”
