The Norman Earl's Castle is a three-story Victorian building with a long courtyard. The frontage is a green lawn and a flagpole with colorful flags. The backyard is a leisure courtyard, botanical garden, flower bed, fountain sculpture, swimming pool, etc.
Lu Ming's team lived on the first and second floors. In addition to those who came directly from Hanzhou, there were also more than a dozen lawyers and affairs officers who had just arrived from the East China Sea. After all, this case was not as simple as Bron's case.
What we have to fight against is a giant organization with great wealth and power.
Fortunately, this official residence is very large and has many rooms, so it is fully suitable for living and activities.
The rooms on its three floors are all very large, with only a dozen or so, inhabited by Pan Mila's parents, Lu Ming and Pan Mila, and the servant rooms are occupied by Yuluan and Heitou. However, it doesn't matter whether it's in Donghai or Hanzhou.
, or here, Yuluan and Heitou are basically in a state of invisibility. If you don't deliberately ask them to appear, you often can't see their figures.
Conference room on the first floor.
Lu Ming looked at the lawyer's letter in his hand, which he was going to send to the Milton State Beef Association.
It is better to follow normal procedures and send a lawyer's letter to the client in advance before formally filing the complaint in court, clarifying the client's demands and waiting for the other party's response.
Generally speaking, the other party will be given a few days, up to a week. If the other party does not respond, it will be deemed that the other party refuses to settle and the case will go directly to court.
This kind of lawyer's letter is a formatted official document that can be written by any clerk. Lu Ming glanced at it casually and nodded to Portlem next to him: "Well, it can be sent out."
At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door, and a affairs officer walked in. He came to Duan Guiyuan and whispered a few words. Duan Guiyuan stood up and said, "Boss, the local police don't know what they are here to investigate. I'll go take a look."
Lu Ming nodded.
I thought it was just a trivial matter, but you must know that in this mansion now there are either lawyers or solicitors of law firms. Usually the people the police are least willing to offend are lawyers. When handling a case, the biggest headache is also the lawyers who meet witnesses or suspects.
Unexpectedly, several detectives from the Bucks Police Department who came to the house must meet the owner of this house, otherwise they would suspect that the people here are trespassing, and they made a scene for a while.
Until Lu Ming called Youoli and asked for the owner's authorization letter and temporary lease to be faxed.
Although this mansion belongs to the owner Youoli, the actual owner is naturally registered to someone else. He originally said that he would come over to handle the property transfer procedures with Lu Ming in the next two days, but Lu Ming said no, and would rent it temporarily while waiting for his lawyer.
After you sell it to him by the way, you can transfer the ownership directly to the buyer.
Now the power of attorney and the lease have been faxed. According to imperial law, faxes, copies, etc. have the same legal effect as long as they are signed.
The police detectives then left angrily.
"Western states are a bit behind!"
In the coffee room, Lu Ming drank coffee and smiled at Portlem.
It seems obvious that these police detectives are working for the State Beef Association and are deliberately looking for trouble.
But think about the 1950s, and in my previous life, gangs were still rampant in the Western world, and it was not uncommon for the police to collect illegal money.
Donghai, on the other hand, has a very high level of civilization. It was a bit unaccustomed to come to the western state to see these police officers doing their work and blatantly working as lackeys for corporate organizations.
Douglas's plan to sue the Beef Association must have caused a stir, and many lawyers came from the East China Sea.
Bucks City is just a small town, and the news cannot be hidden from anyone. The Beef Association has made a show of force.
Of course, it should be something that some individuals inside were instigated in private because they were used to being arrogant.
Robert, the president of the Beef Association, is a very powerful giant. Milton Beef has become synonymous with the Empire's top beef. He has played an important role in promoting the development of the entire Milton State cattle industry.
If I were to compare it with figures from previous lives, I would think of Stern, who promoted the NBA and developed the small professional league into a business empire league.
Such a person must know that such a show of force will only be counter-productive and cannot have any effect at all.
Portlem laughed and said, "Yeah, that's it for the Western States!"
For him, the recognition that he is a Donghai person is definitely much more important than the distinction between ethnic groups. He is proud to be a Donghai person, but the ethnic group is nothing at all in his eyes.
From the white-collar class to the elite class in the East China Sea, there are also many people like Portlem, who do not value ethnic groups. After all, different ethnic groups have lived together for hundreds of years.
On the contrary, the poor class, the conservative aristocrats and the top aristocrats, that is, the top and bottom, are more sensitive to ethnic groups and the like.
At this moment, the contempt that flashed in Portlem's eyes was naturally due to the fact that as a native of the East China Sea, he despised the backwardness of any other region in the empire.
"Boss, do you want us to go to court directly?" Potlem asked. If he takes the lead in this case and the other party is in the first year of junior high school, there will be nothing to discuss and we can just go to court directly.
Lu Ming waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's better to follow the rules. The person who does the tricks is probably not the real person in charge of the association."
Portlem was a little angry, but he still nodded: "Okay, I'll do it right away." After a pause, "I will still file a complaint against those police officers. I have written down the numbers."
Lu Ming smiled: "You can do whatever you want. This is your right and freedom."
…
In the study, when Lu Ming was looking through the files, there was a gentle knock on the door, and Pan Mira walked in.
"Are you done?" Lu Ming smiled. Although Pan Mira was here, she was still very busy with conference calls and various matters.
"Come sit down and let me tell you about Bisi!" Lu Ming pointed to the chair in front of him.
Pan Mila, who was originally smiling, turned serious.
"Bis's father is the Duke of Haussburg, right?" Lu Ming asked.
Pamila nodded slightly.
"Have you told Bisi about him?" Lu Ming pondered, "She is still young. Even if she goes to court, the court will not think that she must have the right to know. For her age, the court will still
I think the guardian will make the best arrangements for her."
Pan Mila was helpless, "It's better for Bisi to know or not to know. Don't you have any judgment? Everything is about law..."
Lu Ming coughed, "Then it's better to tell Bisi what I said. My little Bisi is as smart as a brat and very sensible. You forgot, she even went out to work part-time last year, just to lighten your burden."
Pan Mila was startled for a moment, then thought for a moment, "What you said may make sense, I will consider it."
Lu Ming pondered and said: "Tell Bisi about the existence of her biological father, and then I will accompany you and Bisi to meet him. I think this is the gentlest way to deal with it. What if Bisi likes his father very much?
Custody rights will definitely not be given to him, but if Bisi agrees, I think there is no harm in them meeting every once in a while. Of course, I will also observe and investigate him."
In fact, Bisi's father did not run away after getting into trouble, but was lynched by a group of conservative nobles such as Pan Mila's father. His body may have been seriously damaged, so now I heard that he has
Flesh and blood, if you want to find Bisi, you can't say that it is completely unreasonable.
Of course, everything still depends on the outcome of the negotiation. If he is unreasonable, it will be another matter.
