When I am reborn, I just want to be a top student
Chapter 343: The Light of Civilization? Or the Shame of Civilization?
In the eyes of many people, the Bald Eagle is the most powerful country on the planet, as well as the most civilized, democratic and developed country. It is the light of human civilization.
Over the years, countless people around the world have longed for the bald eagle and wanted to immigrate here.
When formal and legal channels don’t work, they choose to smuggle themselves across borders, use other means, etc.
Just to breathe the sweet air of the bald eagle.
He lost everything and abandoned his wife and children.
It was as if he was possessed, madly wanting to go to the Bald Eagle and escape from his homeland.
This situation is not limited to the lower or middle class.
Even some successful people will have a filter for the bald eagle, thinking that this side is better, more open, and more scientific.
This situation continued until Wang Donglai was reborn and had not changed fundamentally.
At most, it is just because of the special three-year period that some lies about the bald eagle that were well packaged were exposed, but there are still a group of die-hard fans who yearn for the bald eagle from the bottom of their hearts.
This group includes university professors, billionaires, and reputable scholars...
The reason for this situation is that the bald eagle is too powerful, and also because of the bald eagle's global hegemony strategy, which is to influence other countries through military, political and economic strength and culture.
Hollywood movies are best-sellers all over the world. In the past many years, classic blockbusters from Hollywood have swept the box office charts in various countries and have had an enormous impact on young people.
In the movie, the bald eagle uses a very despicable but clever means to subtly export culture.
High-rise buildings, civilized science, advanced development...
These are the most common feelings one would have about the bald eagle after watching the movie.
However, only some smart people know the barbarism and backwardness behind the bald eagle's advanced and developed appearance.
Although it is a country of immigrants, it is full of racial discrimination within the Bald Eagle.
Among the many races, there are quite a few Chinese, but they are at the bottom of the discrimination chain.
There are many reasons, so I won’t go into detail here.
After Ruan Wei and Fan Lili were taken away by Fobole, Wang Donglai and other passengers also got off the plane.
As soon as he left the airport, Wang Donglai first called the embassy and told the embassy staff about Ruan Wei and Foberle.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Donglai did not stop.
Instead, I searched online and found a law firm with a great reputation.
The bald eagle's style of doing things is overbearing, but it also has its underlying logic.
Lawyers are a unique phenomenon here on the bald eagle.
Los Angeles, also known as the "City of Angels," is the second largest city in the United States and the largest city in the Western United States.
So naturally it is extremely prosperous.
Latham & Watkins, headquartered in Los Angeles, has branches in 14 countries, more than 2400 lawyers, and revenue of $2014 billion in 21, ranking second. Its main service areas include entertainment, media, real estate and white-collar criminal defense.
The reason why Wang Donglai found this law firm right away was because the law firm in Bald Eagle was different from that in China.
They have a longer history of development, more complete rules, and while their fees are expensive, these lawyers are also very dedicated and responsible.
In addition, there is an even more important reason.
That is, local law firms have greater power and can do things that other law firms cannot do.
The most typical example is the Simpson case in 1994, an almost obvious case, but with the help of his money, Simpson hired a dream team of lawyers at a price of $ a day, who found loopholes in the impossible and ended the case with acquittal.
Anyone with a brain and normal IQ can see who the real murderer is in this case.
However, because of the requirement of procedural justice, the result is exactly the opposite.
Not many people in the country knew about this case at that time, but Wang Donglai was very clear about it.
That's why he immediately thought of contacting Latham & Watkins, the top law firm in Los Angeles.
Latham & Watkins law firm.
"Mr. Wang, choosing Latham & Watkins will be the best choice you have ever made."
“Believe me, in Los Angeles, no one is more professional than us!”
"For this matter, I need to call and inquire about the situation first, and then I can give you a rough estimate of the charges, is that okay?"
The first time George saw Wang Donglai, he knew that he would get a big order.
The reason is simple. George has been in the industry for so many years that he has already developed an excellent ability to judge people.
George had only seen a hint of confidence from Wang Donglai in some billionaires or top figures.
Although Wang Donglai does not have a white face, but a Chinese face.
But it was precisely this point that made George firm in his opinion.
The Chinese who can appear in Bald Eagle are either ordinary people or big shots.
Having worked at Latham & Watkins law firm for many years, George has also met many top figures from China.
Therefore, he could be sure that Wang Donglai was not an ordinary person.
"Of course no problem!"
Wang Donglai nodded and agreed.
The consultation fee is US$2,000 per hour, which is charged from the moment of meeting, and the time spent on the phone for inquiry is naturally included.
George certainly didn't set the price randomly for such a high fee.
He took out his phone and made seven or eight calls in front of Wang Donglai.
Wang Donglai's English level is not low, and he could hear clearly what George said when he called.
"Oh, things are a bit troublesome."
"Fobole is different from ordinary institutions. It is very difficult to deal with them, and the corresponding legal fees are also very expensive."
"According to the information I just received on the phone, the procedure for arresting Professor Ruan of your country this time is legal and compliant. This makes the difficulty even higher."
George's expression was extremely serious, with a hint of embarrassment on his face, as he said this to Wang Donglai.
Hearing George say this, Wang Donglai sneered in his heart.
He knew that this matter was not easy to resolve. After all, it involved Fo Bole. If it was just an ordinary matter, it would not alarm Fo Bole at all. But once he alarmed him, it would not be a simple matter.
Combining Ruan Wei's research field and achievements, it is easy to come to a conclusion.
This arrest was a trap from beginning to end.
First, he used the International Microwave Technology Exchange Conference to lure Ruan Wei over, and then controlled Ruan Wei as soon as he landed.
This requires the cooperation of multiple departments. It is impossible that Foberle came up with it on a whim or just received the case. George said this at this time, partly because of professional ethics and partly because of professional habit.
How can he raise the attorney's fees if he doesn't make the case sound serious?
A difficulty of five points would become a difficulty of seven points in his mouth, and the three points of effort he put in would be said to be five points of effort.
It’s nothing but benefit to you!
Although Wang Donglai had already seen through Ruan Wei's plan, he did not expose it.
"If the case wasn't difficult, why would I find you?"
"It is precisely because I believe in your abilities that I came to you as soon as the incident occurred."
"As a lawyer at Latham & Watkins, I think you should not just emphasize the difficulty in front of your clients. If that's all you do, then I can only say that I am very disappointed with your law firm!"
"I believe that as long as the money is enough, there are many law firms willing to take this case."
Wang Donglai appeared calm yet extremely confident, and said this to George in a blunt tone.
To be honest, Wang Donglai's words were not polite and he didn't give George any face.
But George was not angry because of these words, and still had a smile on his face.
"No, no, no, Mr. Wang, I think you must have misunderstood me. The reason I told you this first is out of a lawyer's professional ethics. I must make you clear where the trouble in this case is!"
"According to the information I have learned, it was North who accused Professor Ruan Wei of stealing their company's secrets. Because filter chip technology is related to communications and is relatively sensitive, it alerted Foberle."
"In addition, North has already provided relatively complete evidence. If we want to start from this aspect, the possibility is already very low. Therefore, according to normal procedures, Professor Ruan Wei is likely to be punished by law."
"But, as a lawyer, I am here to serve you, so my advice to Mr. Wang is to reconcile!"
“Although we are a top law firm, we are not omnipotent. Some things need to be done according to the rules.”
"Professor Ruan Wei pleaded guilty and reached an out-of-court settlement. This is the best outcome!"
"I don't know what Mr. Wang thinks. If you think it's okay, then we can talk about the attorney fees!"
George said confidently with a smile on his face and a unique aura of an elite.
In Bald Eagle, reconciliation means something completely different than it does back home.
It is no exaggeration to say that settlement can resolve 99 percent of cases.
As long as you are willing to pay and as long as you can strive for a settlement, most cases can disappear before they are prosecuted.
Reconcile first, then release on bail.
With this series of moves, many people can escape serious crimes.
It can be said that George’s proposal for settlement and bail was indeed thoughtful and he did not deceive Wang Donglai.
However, Wang Donglai was not prepared to do so.
It is not possible to achieve reconciliation simply by paying money.
Ruan Wei’s problem this time cannot be solved simply with money.
I'm afraid he will have to sign a confession first, and then pay a large sum of money, before a settlement can be reached, and finally the prosecution will not take place, and Ruan Wei will be released on bail.
In this way, Ruan Wei was controlled by the bald eagle.
The confession letter is like a sharp knife or a bomb that can kill Ruan Wei at any time.
If things change, then if Bald Eagle takes out this confession, it will not only destroy Ruan Wei's reputation, but will also trample on China's face.
Wang Donglai believed that with the style of the Bald Eagle, he would definitely do such a thing when necessary.
Therefore, Wang Donglai was not prepared to agree to this.
"George, I've said before that Professor Ruan is innocent, so I hope that if your law firm decides to accept the order, it will proceed with an innocence argument instead of trying to plead guilty, reconcile, or bail."
“Now, I need to know if you and your law firm can do this?”
"money is not a problem!"
Wang Donglai looked at George calmly and said lightly.
These three short sentences were full of oppression, causing the smile on George's face to fade and he fell into deep thought.
Wang Donglai was not worried that George would refuse. For the Bald Eagle Law Firm and its lawyers, the right or wrong of a case was never the first factor they considered, but money.
As long as they are paid enough, they will become extremely bold. Not to mention economic espionage, they will even dare to take on cases with more serious crimes.
George didn't think about it for too long, because he noticed a hint of impatience on Wang Donglai's face, so he said hurriedly: "Mr. Wang, you should believe in our strength."
"Although this case is troublesome and difficult, our law firm has been established for so many years and has seen many similar cases and has a lot of experience."
"It is no exaggeration to say that we are the most professional in Los Angeles. Although we dare not say that we are the most professional in the entire Bald Eagle, we are definitely your best choice."
"Professor Ruan Wei has been taken away by Foboler. The longer it takes, the more complicated the situation will become and the more difficult it will be to resolve."
"I believe that Mr. Wang should also understand this. Otherwise, he would not have come to our law firm as soon as the incident happened."
"The more time we have, the greater our chances of winning."
"Sign the agency contract as soon as possible. In a few hours at the latest, I might be able to meet my client, Professor Ruan Wei."
Wang Donglai nodded and said, "Very good. After hearing what you said, I finally have confidence in your law firm."
"Remember my request. Professor Ruan Wei is innocent. You can reconcile or release on bail, but you absolutely cannot sign a confession."
"I hope you can take my request seriously. As I said before, money is not a problem. As long as the person comes out and doesn't sign a confession, the amount can be negotiated."
George smiled and said: "This is natural, please believe in our professional ethics and professional ethics!"
"Once you sign the contract, you will become our customers, and we will naturally do our best to protect the rights and interests of our customers!"
Soon, Wang Donglai signed a contract with Latham & Watkins law firm for an advance payment of US$2 million.
The two million dollars is just an advance payment, and there will be attorney fees after the case makes progress.
This is a considerable amount of money, which is why Wang Donglai is willing to pay it.
It's not because he has a lot of money or is kind-hearted.
It was because he took a liking to Ruan Wei.
Talents are rare, and Ruan Wei has already proven himself to be a talent in the field of filter chips. Now that something like this has happened again, Wang Donglai will naturally not stand idly by.
The icing on the cake is not as good as providing help when it is timely.
There is no greater favor than helping someone in time of need, than saving him from prison.
If this money could be used to buy a talent like Ruan Wei, it would actually be a huge profit for Wang Donglai.
Therefore, Wang Donglai found a law firm and a lawyer for Ruan Wei after he got off the plane. (End of this chapter)
