Rebirth of the God-level Xueba
Chapter 613: Expelled
Yang Rui has always been very careful in choosing a law firm.
He doesn't worry about the research itself. He has the information in his mind. No matter how difficult academic research is, there are traces to follow. Furthermore, Yang Rui is more interested and responsible for academics, and for Yang Rui, it is more of interest and responsibility rather than difficulties.
However, the law is a very dangerous and uncontrollable weapon. Biological research, even if you sit firmly on the ivory tower, is in danger of being prosecuted. In the slightest, you will suffer financial losses, sulking for several years, and at worst, ruin your fortune and spend several years in prison.
Large consortia will initiate litigation, small scientific research apes will also initiate litigation, environmental protection organizations, animal rights agencies also like to sue biological companies and biologists.
It has a history of being prosecuted.
At that time, Sister Company was also an American pureblood company with assets of more than 100 million yuan, and it was still involved in litigation. Yang Rui's cautiousness has never been unfounded.
However, the initiative to initiate a lawsuit was not a project in Yang Rui's plan. It was American patent attorney Benjamin and Hong Kong lawyer Yue Ting who persuaded Yang Rui to proceed.
"A simple defense cannot be won. Since you are so optimistic about this project, it is most beneficial to take the initiative." said Benjamin, a lawyer who charges $2,200 an hour.
Of course, before taking away Yang Rui's $50,000 deposit, Benjamin also assured Yang Rui that he would win several times the settlement.
Litigation does not necessarily have to go to court. For American lawyers, court defense is a laborious and risky work.
Even the best litigation lawyers will avoid court trials as much as possible. In many cases, patent lawyers like Benjamin will outsource court trials to more professional defense lawyers.
Most of the time, lawyers are pursuing reconciliation.
Court trials are often also working hard for better settlement conditions. Otherwise, in the United States, where a case can easily take months or even years, lawyers are too busy to complete several cases.
Patent attorneys like Benjamin treat the settlement money as a daily routine. After obtaining Yang Rui's authorization, he issued a series of orders.
Including press conferences, contacting the directors of Ganica Company, and strong lawyer's letters are all Benjamin's plans.
It was Yang Rui's idea to obtain Zhang Hongjun's documents.
He guessed that Zhang Hongjun would not carry the documents with him, so he went to the hotel where the Chinese delegation was staying and searched it. Without much effort, he obtained the intentional contract in both Chinese and English.
At the last official seal, Yang Rui was furious and frightened.
Regardless of the contract of intent, if there is a leader in China with a brain that is ill and suddenly slaps his head and says, "We must not disappoint international friends", the trouble caused by this contract will be unpredictable.
Although it is said that as long as Yang Rui does not let go, no one can sell the technology forcibly, but in China, who knows how things are going in the end
Moreover, Yang Rui didn't have to go through this experience originally.
Thinking about the 50,000 US dollars just spent, Yang Rui was even more depressed. He only hoped that Benjamin was as strong as he and Hong Kong lawyer Yue Ting boasted, and could earn his lawyer fees from the settlement money without going to court.
Thinking this way, Yang Rui became even more bored.
Trials are often extremely lengthy. There are almost no trials that determine the outcome of a game in a movie. Trials lasting five hours, ten to fifteen hours are not uncommon, and trial lawyers often charge tens of thousands of dollars per game. In the above, Yang Rui has not received the payment. In fact, he has not even found the foundry, and the bill is far away. At this time, if he is caught in a court trial, he will not only be stuck in the United States, but the financial burden will also change. Into a serious problem.
However, without Benjamin's method, the risk is not small. The lawyer’s letter is not a golden law. If the other party refuses to listen, he still has to enter the litigation stage.
At this time, Yang Rui deeply felt the dilemma encountered by high-tech startups in the United States. If they cannot raise funds at the right time or sell themselves, all kinds of lawsuits alone can drag down the startups. If you are forced to file a patent lawsuit, one or two million dollars is just the starting price, but there are several start-up companies that can come up with one or two million dollars.
Think about how many law firms Apple and Samsung have filed in multiple countries around the world at the same time. After one year, I don’t know how many law firms have supported them.
"I want to call China." Yang Rui picked up the phone, explained to the front desk, and then found Wang Jianguo's number in his portable notebook and dialed it.
Wang Jianguo also came out of Deling Farm, but unlike Jing Cuncheng and others, Wang Jianguo was too old and immediately retreated to the second line after being rehabilitated. However, what is more powerful than Jing Cuncheng and others is that Wang Jianguo has many sons and blessings, with seven children and seven grandchildren. The third of them works in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Yang Rui didn't need a powerful official to help, he just needed to find an insider to advise him. The current domestic environment is like this. If there is no relationship, nothing can be done. If the leader Zhang Hongjun finds a relationship, and the matter is messed up, Yang Rui must be furious.
Of course, he was already furious now.
The next day.
Yang Rui and Ganika meet again.
The long negotiating table, one person, half of them are lawyers.
Yang Rui looked at his watch and listened to them arguing with each other.
Benjamin’s attorney fee is $2,200 per hour, and his team of three lawyers is also included. The Hong Kong lawyer Yue Ting is much cheaper, but it is close to US$800 per hour after adding various additional fees. In addition, the company lawyers of Huarui Company also have to spend hundreds of US dollars in hourly fees.
Calculated like this, 3,600 seconds per hour, even if there is no one dollar per second, it is still the same.
Although Yang Rui wants to save a little bit, one of the three lawyers is indispensable. The company lawyer is Huarui's insurance company. He knows the situation of Huarui the most. The Hong Kong lawyer Yue Ting is responsible for all patent affairs and knows the patent situation best. Benjamin is an American lawyer and is the most familiar. The United States law and the United States patent provisions, if any one of the three people is less than one, it is possible that Yang Rui may be inadvertently cheated.
The negotiation lasted for 4 hours, excluding the two breaks for a total of 1 hour in the middle, and the charging time was more than 3 hours.
In addition, the follow-up costs after the contract is drawn up are still expensive, and the transaction costs and charging time between Yue Ting and the company's lawyers have to be doubled.
Fortunately, Ganica finally let go and gave a settlement of 300,000 US dollars, which was similar to Yi's initial sales income.
Of course, neither is pure income.
After the contract was signed, Benjamin, the old white man, stood up happily, shook hands with Yang Rui and smiled: "I hope we still have a chance to cooperate."
"I don't want to go through this trip again." Yang Rui reluctantly shook his head, and said in a flash, "Of course, if you have to do it again, I also hope that your law firm can continue to represent you."
Despite the high fees, Benjamin didn't let him lose after all. In fact, 300,000 US dollars is just a small case for Benjamin, and he should have seen at least tens of millions of future prospects for technology, and future disputes are indispensable.
Ganika threw away the signed pen and said: "If I decide independently, I will not reconcile, and we have done nothing wrong."
"Kurt, please pay attention to your client's words and deeds." Benjamin reminded the other party's lawyer.
"The settlement agreement is signed, and Mr. Ganica will no longer be my client." Kurt, who was also an elderly white man, shrugged his shoulders, showing no expression.
Yang Rui was stunned for a moment and asked: "Why?"
"The directors of Ganica Company drove him out." Benjamin's expression was a little unnatural, but within a few seconds, he adjusted.
Yang Rui didn't think much about it. The founder of the company was driven out of his company by investors. Such a story, not to mention what happens every day on the land of the United States, will be seen every day in China in the future. It is really nothing rare.
Yang Rui glanced at Ganica sympathetically, and said, "I hope I'm just a fuse, not explosives."
"A group of short-sighted guys, they don’t see the importance of the biotechnology that I acquired. They just think about making anti-cancer drugs and anti-cancer drugs so easy to do. Don’t look at how many companies are now making anti-cancer drugs, fda It's so easy to deal with." Ganika sneered several times, full of anger.
Kurt wanted to speak for the company, so he interjected: "There are many companies doing anti-cancer drugs, which shows that the prospects of anti-cancer drugs are promising. Ganica Biological Co., Ltd. is an excellent bio-high-tech company and should not be afraid of challenges."
"They just want to go public." Ganica looked disgusted.
"It's not a bad thing to go public. The company will have more capital below the risk and merge other companies."
"The only thing you didn't say was to spend more money in the laboratory."
"Aren't you also buying technology on a big scale?"
"I am thinking about the future of the company and buying technologies that can lay the foundation for the company."
"I believe the directors are the same."
"Haha, directors, after the listing, the directors will be replaced."
"The company will continue to grow." Kurt paused, then said: "The company will keep your office as a souvenir, but I hope you will not go to the company again and interfere with the company's normal business. In addition, the company may be in the near future. Change the name."
Ganika's nose twitched twice, and she turned around discouragedly, but turned to Yang Rui and smiled: "You see, this is the true face of capital. When they want to invest in you, they are like It looks like a new look after they have mastered the power of the company."
"Mr. Yang Rui, let's go." Yue Ting whispered to Yang Rui.
Yang Rui nodded and turned to go out.
A group of lawyers dressed in dark suits all turned around and followed Yang Rui with great style.
Zhang Hongjun, who had always been shrinking in the corner, couldn't help it anymore. He rushed out, stopped Yang Rui, and begged for mercy: "Yang Rui, Boss Yang, I was wrong, you let me go."
"What do you spare?"
"The contract, the contract of intent."
"The contract of intent signed by you and Ganica"
"Yes." Zhang Hongjun looked at Yang Rui's eyes, slapped himself twice, and started the classic begging drama: "Boss Yang, I am sorry for you, I am not a human, I am a beast, please let me go."
Yang Rui glanced back, and saw a group of lawyers watching this scene curiously, and sighed helplessly: "Pay attention to international influence."
"I" Zhang Hongjun couldn't say anything, and bent over and said, "Boss Yang, please, I really beg you, I have the old and the younger."
Yang Rui waved his hand and said, "I have already sent the contract you want to China. It's useless if you ask me~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Besides, it's not about shooting you, and it won't affect your family's support."
Zhang Hongjun didn't believe it: "You haven't gone back yet, how can you send the contract back?"
"Fax back to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Affairs."
"Really."
Yang Rui ignored him and walked away.
Zhang Hongjun stupidly stepped aside and muttered: "You are really willing."
Faxing information back to China is indeed not cheap, at least it is not affordable for ordinary Chinese.
Yang Rui looked back at the lawyer behind him, and thought: What is the fax fee? If it weren't for you, would I spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in attorney fees?
Even if the lawyer's fees are earned back through the settlement money, who is willing to take such a big risk?
A group of people broke up in the parking lot. The lawyer Yue Ting followed Yang Rui back and asked curiously on the road: "Just now, Mr. Zhang, what kind of punishment will he receive after returning to China, will he really not be shot?"
"How is it possible. Unless there are more serious problems, the most is expelled. However, most of them are sent to the frontier. Let's sit on the bench in a corner where no one wants to go." Yang Rui really didn't want Zhang Hongjun to be expelled, just now. It’s a good thing to leave the system completely in the world.
Of course, there are many benefits to staying in the system with a bright future, but unlucky people like Zhang Hongjun can only suffer.
As for when to get ahead, it depends on when the person forgot about it.
