Yang Rui has always been very careful and serious about the choice of law firms.

He was not worried about the research itself, and he had the information in his mind. No matter how difficult academic research was, there were traces to follow. Furthermore, Yang Rui had more interest and responsibility for academics, and for Yang Rui, he had more interest and responsibility than difficulties.

But the law is a very dangerous and uncontrollable weapon. Even if you do biological research, you may be prosecuted even if you sit firmly on the ivory tower. At the least, you may suffer financial losses. You may be humiliated for a few years, or you may lose all your money and have a prison meal for a few years.

Large consortiums will initiate lawsuits, small scientific research apes will also initiate lawsuits, and environmental protection organizations and animal rights institutions will also like to sue biological companies and biologists.

PCR has a history of being prosecuted.

At that time, Sister was also an American pure-blooded company with assets of over 100 million yuan. She was still involved in lawsuits. Yang Rui's cautiousness has never been an unreasonable worry.

However, the initiative to initiate the lawsuit was not a project Yang Rui planned, but was persuaded by US patent attorney Benjamin and Hong Kong lawyer Yue Ting.

"Simple defense cannot win. Since you are so optimistic about this project, taking the initiative is the most advantageous." said Benjamin, a lawyer who charges $2,200 per 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 job.

Even the best litigation lawyers will avoid trials as much as possible. Many times, patent lawyers like Benjamin will outsource trials to more professional defense lawyers.

Most of the time, lawyers are pursuing reconciliation.

Trials are often also for better reconciliation conditions. Otherwise, in the United States, where a case can easily take several months or even years, lawyers will not be able to complete several cases even if they are busy.

Patent lawyers like Benjamin even regard the struggle for settlement funds as daily. After obtaining Yang Rui's authorization, he issued a series of orders.

Including press conferences, contacting Garnika's directors, and strongly speaking lawyer letters are all Benjamin's plans.

Yang Rui's idea was to obtain Zhang Hongjun's documents.

He guessed that Zhang Hongjun would not carry documents with him, so he went to the hotel where the Chinese delegation was staying. He searched it and found that he had received two versions of the intentional contract in Chinese and English without much effort.

The last official seal made Yang Rui even more angry and frightened when he saw it.

Although it is an intentional contract, if there is a leader in China who is ill with brains and suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "We cannot disappoint international friends", the trouble caused by this contract will be unpredictable.

Although no one can forcefully sell PCR technology as long as Yang Rui doesn't let go, but in China, who knows what the direction of things will eventually be?

Moreover, there was no need for Yang Rui to experience this.

Thinking about the 50,000 US dollars spent just now, Yang Rui felt even more depressed. He only hoped that Benjamin could earn his lawyer's fees from the settlement funds as strong as he boasted with Hong Kong lawyer Yue Ting, and not have to go to court.

Thinking of this, Yang Rui became even more bored.

Trials are often extremely lengthy. There are almost no trials in a movie that determine the outcome. They last for five hours, ten hours or even fifteen hours. The fees of trial lawyers often go up tens of thousands of dollars per game. Yang Rui has not received a payment from PCR. In fact, he has not even found a PCR factory, and the bill is far away. At this time, if he is caught in the trial, he will not only have problems staying in the United States, but also the economic burden will also become serious problems.

However, the risk is not small if Benjamin's method is not adopted. The lawyer's letter is not a Jin Ke law order. If the other party does not listen, it will still enter the litigation stage...

At this time, Yang Rui deeply felt the dilemma encountered by high-tech startups in the United States. If he could not raise funds at the right time or sell himself, all kinds of lawsuits could drag down the startup company. If he was forced to file a patent lawsuit, one or two million US dollars was just the starting price, but several startups could offer one or two million US dollars.

Think about how many law firms Apple and Samsung have been suing each other in many countries around the world. After a year, I don’t know how many law firms it has supported…

"I want to call China." Yang Rui lifted the phone, explained to the front desk, then found Wang Jianguo's phone from his laptop and dialed it.

Wang Jianguo also came out of Deling Farm, but unlike Jing Cuncheng and others, Wang Jianguo was older and he directly retreated to the second line after he was rehabilitated. However, what is better than Jing Cuncheng and others is that Wang Jianguo has many children and good fortune, with seven children and seven grandchildren, and the third one works in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Yang Rui didn't need a strong official to help, but he just needed to find an insider to advise. This is the current domestic environment. If there is no connection, nothing can be done. If the leader Zhang Hongjun asked for connections and messed up the matter, Yang Rui would be angry to death.

Of course, he is already furious now.

The next day.

Yang Rui and Garnika meet again.

The long negotiating table, one person and one side, half of them are lawyers.

Yang Rui looked at the watch and listened to them argue with each other.

Benjamin's attorney fee is US$2,200 per hour, and his three-person lawyer team is also included. Hong Kong lawyer Yue Ting is much cheaper, but in terms of various additional fees, it is also close to US$800 per hour. In addition, Huarui's corporate lawyers also have to receive hundreds of dollars in time fees.

In this way, 3,600 seconds per hour is almost the same even if there is no $1 per second.

Although Yang Rui wanted to save a little, no one of the three waves of lawyers was missing. The company's lawyer is Huarui's insurance and knows Huarui's situation the best. Hong Kong lawyer Yue Ting is responsible for all patent affairs and the patent situation the best. Benjamin is an American lawyer and is most familiar with American laws and US patent terms. If any of the three people are missing, he may accidentally cheat Yang Rui.

The negotiations lasted for 4 hours, and the two middle times had a total rest of 1 hour, and the charge time was more than 3 hours.

In addition, the follow-up costs after the contract is formulated are still expensive, and the transaction costs and charging time between Yueting and the company's lawyers will be doubled.

Fortunately, Garnika finally gave up and gave a settlement of $300,000 - similar to the initial sales revenue of the PCR instrument.

When φ, neither is net income either.

The contract was signed, and the old white man Benjamin 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 shook his head helplessly and said in a flash: "Of course, if you have to come again, I also hope that your law firm can continue to act."

Despite the high fees, Benjamin did not let him lose it. In fact, $300,000 is just a small case for Benjamin. He should have seen the subsequent prospects of PCR - at least tens of millions of technology, and future disputes are indispensable.

Garnika threw away the signed pen and said, "If I were allowed to decide independently, I would not reconcile, and we did not do anything wrong."

"Kute, please pay attention to your client's words and deeds." Benjamin reminded the other party's lawyer.

"The settlement agreement is signed, and Mr. Garnika is no longer my client." Kurt is also an elderly white man, shrugging without any expression.

Yang Rui was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why?"

"The directors of Garnika 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 kicked out of his company by investors. Such a story will happen every day in the United States, and it will be seen in China every day in the future. It is indeed nothing rare.

Yang Rui glanced at Garnika with sympathy and said, "I hope I'm just a fuse, not an explosive."

"A group of short-sighted guys, they can't see the importance of the biotech I acquired, they just want to make anti-cancer drugs... Are anti-cancer drugs so easy to make? Don't you see how many companies are doing anti-cancer drugs now, and the FDA is so easy to deal with?" Garnika sneered several times, full of anger.

Kut wanted to speak for the company, so he interrupted: "There are many companies that make anti-cancer drugs, which shows that the prospects for anti-cancer drugs are promising. Garnika Biotech Co., Ltd. is an excellent biotech company and should not be afraid of challenges."

"They just want to go public." Garnika looked disgusted.

"Letting go public is not a bad thing. The company will have more funds below the risk and acquire other companies."

"You didn't say that you would spend more money in the lab."

“Aren’t you buying technology too?”

“I am thinking about the future of the company and buying technology that can lay the foundation of the company.”

“I believe the directors are the same.”

"Directors? Haha, after listing, directors will be replaced."

"The company will continue to grow." Kurt paused and said, "The company will keep your office as a souvenir, but I hope you will not go to the company again to interfere with the company's normal business. In addition, the company may change its name in the near future."

Garnika's nose twitched twice, turned around in dismay, but faced Yang Rui and smiled, "You see, this is the true face of capital. When they want to invest in you, they look like they look like they look like they look like they take control of you, and when they take control of the company's power, they look like they look like they look like they look like they look like they take."

"Mr. Yang Rui, let's go." Yue Ting whispered to Yang Rui.

Yang Rui nodded and turned around and went out.

A group of lawyers were wearing dark suits and turned around and followed Yang Rui, very imposing.

Zhang Hongjun, who had always been huddled in the corner, could no longer hold it back, rushed out suddenly, stopped Yang Rui, begged for mercy, "Yang Rui, Boss Yang, I was wrong, you can let me go."

"What are you letting go?"

"That... contract, intentional contract."

"The intentional contract you signed with Garnika?"

"Yes." Zhang Hongjun looked at Yang Rui's eyes, slapped himself twice, and started a classic mercy begging for the show: "Boss Yang, I'm sorry for you, I'm not a human, I'm a beast, please let me go..."

Yang Rui looked back and saw a group of lawyers looking at the scene curiously, sighing helplessly: "Pay attention to international influence."

"I..." Zhang Hongjun was speechless and bent over and said, "Boss Yang, please, I really beg you. I have an old man above and a young man below..."

Yang Rui waved his hand and said, "I have sent the contract you want to China. It's useless to ask me if you ask me. Besides, it's not about shooting you, it won't affect your family."

Zhang Hongjun didn't believe it: "You haven't even gone back, how can you send a contract to go back?"

"The fax is back to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."

"real."

Yang Rui ignored him and left alone.

Zhang Hongjun made way foolishly and murmured: "You are really willing to do it."

Now that fax information is returned to China, it is indeed not cheap, at least not something that ordinary Chinese can afford.

Yang Rui looked back at the lawyers behind him and thought to himself: What is the fax fee? If it weren't for you, would I have spent more than 100,000 US dollars in lawyer fees?

Even if the lawyer's fees are earned back through settlement funds, who is willing to take such a big risk?

A group of people broke up in the parking lot. Lawyer Yue Ting followed Yang Rui back and asked curiously on the way: "What kind of punishment will Mr. Zhang be punished after returning to China? Will he really not be shot?"

"How is it possible? Unless there is a more serious problem, it will be fired at most. However, it is mostly exiled to the frontier and sit on the bench in a corner where no one wants to go." Yang Rui really didn't want Zhang Hongjun to be fired. In the current world, it may be a good thing to completely leave the system.

Of course, there are many benefits to staying in the system with promising futures, but unfortunate guys like Zhang Hongjun can only endure it.

As for when to make it happen, it depends on when the person involved has forgotten about this matter.
