Fiona's Café.
Lu Ming and Li Guan sat in the window seats.
"Little guy, are you too stingy? Invite me to drink coffee and you are still here? Doesn't it match your wealth?" Li Guan said with a smile.
Lu Ming coughed and said, "As for my feelings, every time I come here, I think of how good you were to me, Mr. Li!"
"Stop being so glib. I don't think you should drink coffee. You drink honey oil every day, right?" Li Guan smiled, but his eyes became more kind.
Looking at Lu Ming, Li Guan added: "I recently took on a young apprentice, introduced by Christine. She suddenly became interested in law. Of course, it is also a required course for her, but she started a little early. I think that little guy is smarter than you. I’ll introduce you to him if I have the chance.”
Lu Ming felt a sudden change in his heart and said to Grandma Li, please stop messing around. You wanted to set me up with Christine’s daughter, but now, I still don’t like the girl’s movies, even if I From beginning to end, I still didn’t know who she was.
"Don't get it wrong! He's a little kid, and he has a distinguished status. You, a rich man from a wealthy family, are not worthy of even ten of them!" Li Guan sneered, obviously guessing that Lu Ming had guessed it by looking at Lu Ming's grimace. Keep in mind.
Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."
"Congratulations, you have been successfully promoted to the third rank!" Li Guan smiled again.
"Thank you for your support... But, can't we go to four steps at once?" Lu Ming smiled playfully.
Li Guan glared at Lu Ming, "As a lawyer, or a third-level lawyer, you don't care about the rules now, do you just want to take shortcuts?"
Lu Ming scratched his head and picked up the coffee.
"Qianxing, what do you think about the industry monopoly of large companies or certain organizations?" Li Guan suddenly asked.
Lu Ming was startled and said, "This is too trivial to say."
Li Guan pondered and said: "What about from a legal perspective? What do you think of our current anti-monopoly laws?"
Lu Ming smiled and said: "Then I'm full of words. I don't really agree with the basic principles of the current anti-monopoly laws. For example, our most important anti-monopoly principle is the guiding ideology of Judge Burton. , he mentioned in "Antitrust Paradox" that the only indicator of antitrust is 'consumer' welfare. No other goal can be used to weaken this goal, and the maximization of consumer welfare is reflected in price. Therefore, to judge whether monopolistic behavior should be interfered with or not, and to evaluate whether anti-monopoly measures are implemented well or not, the ultimate correctness depends on what impact they have on prices."
"I disagree with this."
Lu Ming thought about it and said: "In addition to economic efficiency, I think economic democracy should be the target of anti-monopoly attention. Some hidden trusts use hidden means to form economic alliances to unify pricing, which may bring about short-term consequences. To achieve high economic efficiency and reduce costs, or to exclude competitors from the market rather than suffer temporary losses, and when it truly forms a monopoly on the market, it has complete pricing power, and consumers become The fish on the chopping board are left to be harvested! By then, it will be a bit late to fight against monopoly and attract new investors into the field, and the industry will suffer a lot."
These were all examples from previous lives.
Li Guan pondered and nodded, "Oh, that's what you think."
Lu Ming smiled and said: "If I expand it, I want to say more, but I won't talk about that when I have coffee with you today."
Li Guan smiled and said: "Okay, then you can go to court and tell the story. This piece of cake will be yours!"
"What?" Lu Ming was stunned.
"A farmer in Milton State and a member of the state's Beef Association, I will ask someone to send the file to you when I get it." Li Guan smiled: "Qian Xing, take this lawsuit seriously. In terms of antitrust, in the future Also create a Lu school."
Milton State? It was a western Western state. Lu Ming was even more startled. He didn't pay attention to what Li Guan said later and asked: "Who do I represent?"
"Farmer, Douglas and I were classmates in college, but he didn't study hard and dropped out of school early. He went home to raise cattle. He is a good man." Li Guan smiled, with some memories and longing in his eyes.
Lu Ming suddenly thought: "You mean, I have been promoted to the fourth rank this time?"
You have to reach the fourth rank of senior lawyer before you can take on any lawsuits throughout the empire.
Of course, federal entities such as the Western Region, Japan, and the four northern provinces are another matter, and it depends on local laws.
Li Guan was helpless: "You guys have always known how to bargain. Can't you really not go to the third section to fight this lawsuit? I took it in the name of your law firm. Aren't there several fourth sections in your law firm? Then you can Isn’t it easy to change from deputy debater to lead debater? Let me teach you?”
As he spoke, Li Guan took out a check and handed it over.
Lu Ming was stunned when he saw the amount. It was a check with a denomination of 10,000.
"This is all I can offer. You fight this lawsuit well. You are considered a hirer by me. Don't charge the Douglas family."
Lu Ming was helpless, "Grandma Li, although I made some money, I didn't make it by being a rogue lawyer. Your friend, can I charge an arbitrary amount?"
Sending the check over, he said, "I can't accept this." Although the judge has a high salary and a good position, 10,000 yuan is still a very high number. It is not only Li Guang's life savings, but also half his life. , Li Guan should have some investment, but adding up his net worth, normally having 30,000 to 50,000 yuan would be pretty good.
Of course, I heard that Li Guan’s family was originally wealthy, but that’s another story.
"Then I'll transfer the money to you later. I didn't pay for this money. I will settle it with the Douglas family. Otherwise, if I kidnap you, do you want you to litigate me for free?" Li Guan said with a smile: "I I gave him a big discount, which is worthy of my old classmate."
Lu Ming nodded and would find a way to return the money to Mr. Li when the time comes.
Is the farmer crazy? I am willing to spend 10,000 yuan to fight the lawsuit, but I am afraid that most of it will be paid in advance by Mr. Li.
Thinking about it, I have had some time recently. Everything in Longgang is proceeding in an orderly manner. The railway line has begun to acquire land for construction. I have temporarily eased with the Hu family. When Commander Hu finds out that he does not want to give any shares, he will welcome him again. The next violent storm is.
As for going to Zhenjiang to go to school, summer vacation is coming soon, and I have to wait until school starts before going.
"Okay, when the dossier arrives, I will study it carefully." Lu Ming said with a smile.
Li Guan said: "In addition, there is the case of Hanzhou. The two states are next to each other. You have dealt with it together. This case is your specialty and involves the doctrine of mainland China. It is best for you to come."
Lu Ming was stunned: "Lu Zism?"
"That's your theory of adverse appropriation! Christine has summarized it, and you have published several related articles in legal journals. Now, some people call your theory the Mainland Doctrine, but that is Let’s take a prototype. After you finish this lawsuit, you will also perfect your mainland doctrine.”
Li Guan glanced at Lu Ming and said, "After these two lawsuits are over, as long as you perform normally, you will be free for a year."
Lu Ming smiled bitterly: "What kind of lawsuit is this?"
"It's a village in Hanzhou, a village formed by reclaiming wasteland. Now that the original owner of the wasteland is back, it's quite troublesome."
"Am I not a special consultant of Tunghai University School of Law? Sometimes I go to give lectures to students. One of the school's gatekeepers came from Hanzhou to make a living, and is related to the village chief." Li Guan smiled. , "A few days ago in the cafeteria, he mustered up the courage to ask me about this issue, and I thought of you. Sometimes, the courage of vulnerable groups needs to be rewarded, right?"
Lu Ming was helpless, "Okay, I'll take it, I'm his prize."
Li Guan smiled happily.
Lu Ming rubbed his nose, Hanzhou? I stopped by to see little Meizhen. Summer vacation is about to begin, and I wanted to see if she needed to do anything by myself.
