Seven, the tip of the needle is facing the awn of the wheat
Thompson looked at his boss, Mr. Nix Braxton, uneasily. In the past, he had been able to get more or less hints from difficult opponents, but this time Thompson was disappointed.
Nick Braston coughed twice, retracted his right leg that was on the coffee table, sat up straight and stared at Zhu Tong for ten seconds before slowly speaking.
"Lord Hamilton has reminded you many times that you are a gambler who dares to make all-or-nothing risks. I now believe that your judgment is very reasonable. Young man, I am also a gambler. I go to Morocco's Jinbi Hall every month to sit down. For a few hours, but not entirely in search of excitement, I found that in a state of high mental excitement, weird inspirations may burst out from here, and some problems that have troubled me for a long time suddenly have answers. Of course, every time Everyone can encounter that situation, so I use the word "burst" to describe it. Torreen, the director of Jinbi Hall, is an old friend of mine. He has served there for thirty years. When I went there for the first time, Torreen was still the croupier who dealt the cards for me. Fifteen years later, Torreen became the supervisor of the Jinbi Hall. It was a world full of temptations and few people could stay there for five years.
"Torren told me that there are very few customers like me who can play at a table with only ten yuan chips and can persist for thirty years. Therefore, we have become good friends who talk about everything. He once said to me, Jin Bi The lobby is the fairest casino in the world. The rules there treat the casino and its guests equally. The casino has no hidden tricks and will not take advantage of the guests. However, the profitability has always been very good. Yes, I think you know why the casino is like that. The reason why you can still make money under such conditions is because casinos are not human beings and are always calm and rational, but guests need to face various emotional distress, the most important of which is of course greed.
"From the moment people are born, they enter a vast casino. Everyone has the opportunity to get a good hand of cards, but no matter how lucky he is, if he doesn't know how to play the cards and when enough is enough, he is likely to end up in trouble. ...Honey, I think you understand what I mean,"
After Zhu Tong patiently listened to Mr. Nick Braxton's lofty remarks, he pretended to be surprised and said: "In fact, I don't understand what you want to express with so much nonsense. Are you hinting at me?" You shouldn’t be greedy,”
Mr. Nix Braston said seriously: "If you feel insulted, I'm sorry. I can apologize to you for the offense caused by me and Mr. Thompson. In fact, I do think signing this document is a very good thing." A wise choice, it can avoid unnecessary troubles. Mr. Snell has been suffering from the abominable disease for ten years. More than thirty doctors have provided him with medical services. Like you, they all signed the They got that opportunity after receiving similar documents. Likewise, they got generous rewards beyond expectations. Mr. Mike Snell understands the value of life. He may be comparable to the Puritan in other aspects. Save, but you have always been generous to your colleagues. You should have heard of Dr. Emil. He has a high reputation in the world's medical community and is the top expert in the field of malignant tumors. From Mr. Snell, Dr. Emil got A total of ten million US dollars.
"This document was not so perfect at the beginning. What is now in front of you is a very mature version. All this is due to Thompson, who is the winner of this year's American Lawyers Outstanding Lawyer title. This perfect and The balanced document is the most important reason why he received such an honor. As you said, it will take time for your lawyer to study this document. This is completely reasonable and necessary. In view of Mr. Mike Snell's arrival, I have A better suggestion: we can sign a simple contract first..."
"A simple contract, I'm sorry, I'm not interested," Zhu Tong stood up and pointed at his watch. "You have always known that I have to attend an important meeting at five o'clock. It is now four fifty-five. Mr. Nix Braxton, I don't mean to embarrass you, but you are really wasting our time. I'm sorry, I have to go now. Mr. Senator, please believe that I respect you and the guests you brought. If If they have better suggestions, they can tell my secretary, Miss Siraya, and she will arrange my time. I'm glad to see you. I'm sorry."
After Zhu Tong left, the female anchor was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and chased her nominal boss. Before going out, she politely and gently closed the door.
The three lawyers from the Breston Weedapris Law Firm woke up from the shock when they heard the soft sound of the door closing.
Mr. Nix Braxton asked Senator Lehman puzzledly: "Don't he know..."
"Mr. Braxton, I reminded you to put away your arrogance, but..." Lehman spread his hands and said regretfully: "I think this is not entirely your fault. The Lord must not have told him enough. Information, do you know what the housing prices in Shanghai are? The market value of this building can buy your office building in Manhattan twenty times. Yes, not long ago, this was his property, but now, he has This hospital has been donated to a foundation. Ten million U.S. dollars may seem like a huge amount of money to you, but in his eyes, it's just this."
"You must be joking, Mr. Senator," Nix Braston stared at Lehman's extended little finger, his face turning pale.
"If you weren't so closed-minded, you would have heard who fell into the hands of Dr. Xiuyi in Shanghai last year. Unfortunately, it was the young man you just wanted him to sign an eight hundred US dollars an hour contract with." Senator Lehman had a gloating smile on his face, and he was not afraid of offending the three lawyers from the law firm of Breston & Weedapolis.
Lawyer Tony Wade Pres spoke. He had been observing just now, and seeing the partner's frustrated look, he had to step forward to clean up the mess.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Senator, Mr. Smith, we didn't know that 'Miracle Doctor Li Xiang' was once the owner of this beautiful hospital. Nix made a very stupid mistake. What he just did can really make a doctor The billionaires felt insulted. It was not our intention to ask every medical staff who provided medical services to Mr. Mike Snell to sign a confidentiality agreement. That was the decision of the committee and Mr. Mike Snell's partnership. People and heirs requested that, as executors, we did mess up the matter. However, we have only been in Shanghai for three hours, and you and Mr. Smith seem to know more,"
Behind the hypocrisy is ignorance. Attorney Tony Wedapreis fully explained the connotation of this sentence.
Senator Lehman didn't bother to pay attention to this shirk of responsibility. He raised his head and sighed: "The other name for arrogance is ignorance."
Smith simply burst into laughter, pointed his middle finger at the three lawyers from Braston Vida & Preuss Law Firm and said: "I sincerely suggest that you abandon this extremely complicated contract. If it is a simple and easy-to-understand contract, contract, you are having this conversation in a relatively low profile. I believe things will be different. In addition, don’t insult everyone’s intelligence with stupid excuses. It is you who receive compensation from Mr. Mike Snell. At the Breston Vida Pres Law Firm, Mr. Senator and I are just providing you with some necessary and free assistance and advice as friends. Your generous remuneration will not be shared with us. .
"In order to sign a confidentiality agreement, two expensive top lawyers came to Shanghai at the same time. However, you actually ignored the safety of your clients. Because of your ridiculous ignorance and stupid arrogance, you actually messed up the matter. Is there anything more interesting to talk about at a party in Manhattan? The one who is more qualified and arrogant than you is Mr. Snell. I believe that you will soon receive a termination letter and a harsh compensation plan. Picky And the generous Mr. Snell will never use you again, gentlemen, all because of your self-righteousness. In fact, I am happy to fight this claim lawsuit for Mr. Snell. The Senator and I are both parties. One of them, having witnessed the whole process of your poor performance, Mr. Senator can prove that you have just seriously damaged Mr. Mike Snell's interests and reputation. Mr. Snell will not like someone describing him as a "Puritan" 'Yes, young Mr. Thompson, we have just seen your professional behavior. As the recipient of the American Lawyer's Outstanding Lawyer of the Year, you'd better make a choice as soon as possible. Two of your bosses are about to go bankrupt. Nell may need a significant witness to appear in court,"
Thompson stared at blank eyes, looked at Smith, and then at his two bosses, and murmured at a loss: "How could this happen? It shouldn't be that bad,"
"Mr. Mike Snell would not do that. Believe me, Mr. Thompson, we have cooperated with Mr. Snell for more than ten years. You have been in charge of this case since the day you entered the law firm. You have already worked hard for Snell." "Mr. Snell and the Snell family have provided commendable legal services for eleven years," attorney Tony Wedapreis did not seem to care about Smith's words and said to Thompson with confidence; "I know Mr. Snell very well." , he won’t care about the little flaws we make to protect his interests,”
"Really?" Smith raised his hands and said, "Tony, put away your aristocratic self-confidence. I bet you won't be able to convince 'Miracle Doctor Li Xiang' to sign any documents you prepare. He is not just He is a sensitive and proud guy, and he is also a very powerful billionaire. If you offend him on his territory in Shanghai, it will definitely affect Mr. Mike Snell's treatment."
"Watson, are you interested in putting your last name in front of us?" Mr. Nick Brayston suddenly walked up to Smith and said sincerely: "I sincerely hope to see a family named Watson Berg Bray in Manhattan. The law firm named after Stan Widaporius,"
"I'm sorry, but I have no interest in becoming a partner in a law firm that is going bankrupt," Smith declined coldly.
"So, what about Wasenberg Law Firm? We all want to be your employees," Nix immediately took a big step back.
He knew very well that this annoying drunkard was blackmailing, but they had no right to bargain now.
Instead of becoming a bankrupt who is ridiculed by everyone, it is better to accept the reality and be a senior employee with a good income. Based on their qualifications, there is not much difference in the benefits between being a boss and being a senior employee except that they are not good-looking.
"Senator, do you think Nix's proposal is worth considering," Smith winked cheerfully at Lehman.
"I don't know what you like, Watson. I think it was infected by 'Miracle Doctor Li Xiang'. I prefer cash, a lot of cash," Lehman said in a mocking tone.
Beating up drowned dogs is a hobby he and Smith share, and they will not miss any opportunity.
It is not a wise choice to push two top American lawyers to the point of desperation. Otherwise, they are likely to fall into a lawsuit with no end in sight.
Mr. Mike Snell is in an extremely dangerous state. "Miraculous doctor Li thought, "If he can't save his life, everything Smith said will be out of the question. His partners and heirs are just like these three lawyers, they are a group of idlers. of vampire.
Miss Silea opened the door, stood politely half a meter away from the door and bowed slightly: "Mr. Senator, the boss will receive a distinguished guest here, and I need to prepare in advance,"
This is an eviction order. Except for the three lawyers from Breston Vida & Pres, no one feels embarrassed.
