    After all, Bernier was not a fool. He quickly understood what his boss meant and said thoughtfully: "Yes, it seems that I did not pay enough attention" Although the car had been strictly checked against eavesdropping before,  , but Bernier knows very well that it is really not difficult to install a bug on a driving car. Even an agent with two swords can quietly install it when the car passes the traffic light or slows down.  Well, they can even use new high-tech eavesdropping methods such as laser eavesdropping to ensure the success rate of eavesdropping operations. From this point of view, Bernier is really not good enough.  Lin Zheng patted Bernier on the shoulder and said nothing.  Fortunately, reality is not a spy movie after all. After getting out of the car, Bernier arranged for someone to conduct a strict inspection of the car again, even the chassis. He was finally able to confirm that although he was not sure whether the car had any  It was not bugged, but there were no bugging devices in the car.  But despite this, Bernier also felt deeply guilty and said to Lin Zheng with a look of shame on his face: "Boss, I let you down." "It doesn't matter, what you did is good enough," Lin Zheng said  Waving his hand, he signaled Bernier not to take it too seriously: "We are not in a hurry. You can go back and make arrangements for your family first." Bernier was really thinking about his wife and children. After hesitating for a moment, he finally nodded: "  Boss, I¡¯ll be back as soon as I¡¯ve made arrangements.¡± ¡°Lao Bei, relax,¡± Lin Zheng sighed and said, ¡°Although the situation is very serious and the other party is very likely to use some disgraceful means, business war is not after all.  In a real war, don't panic. If we panic first, we will lose." Bernier was stunned for a moment. Only then did he understand the meaning of Boss's words. He looked carefully at the front line. Comrade Lao Bei was immediately ashamed.  : Indeed, my reaction was a bit excessive.  "Boss. I" "Don't think too much," Lin Zheng shook his hand: "Just keep a normal mind, um, that's it. You convey our attitude through some channels: If someone here is abnormal  When something unexpected happened, I thought that the other party had declared war on us in a despicable way, and we would use more violent means to retaliate You should have such a channel, right? " "Yes, I do," Bernier.  Hearing this, he nodded repeatedly.  The whole person was indeed relaxed a lot, and he said repeatedly: "I will talk to the other party directly." Bernier understood what Lin Zheng meant. He was going to use this method to make IBM, Motorola and Microsoft avoid rats, but Bernier  I have to admit that this is the best way at the moment: unless you want to escalate this war to a situation where each other spends a lot of money to assassinate the other party's senior officials, and you may even face a missile shooting from nowhere.  The bad situation of bullets coming, otherwise our war will be limited to the category of "commercial war".  Bernier believes that this is the best way at present.  Bernier directly negotiated with the other party, but Lin Zheng felt that it didn't matter and responded: "Well pay attention to your tone, don't let the other party think that we are scared." "Don't worry, this will never happen." Finally realized  Bernier was completely relieved when he saw how determined his boss was on this matter. However, after hesitating for a moment, Bernier asked cautiously: "Boss, have you really done this well?"  Are you ready to die together with the other side? " Lin Zheng's words have two meanings. One is to demarcate the boundaries of this war for both sides, that is, both sides can use various means to win this war, but they cannot  Taking actions such as assassinating the other party's personnel for the sake of war; the second meaning is to tell the other party that once you really do it.  I will take more drastic measures to retaliate.  Some people may ask, in today¡¯s civilized society, how could such a situation happen?  It's not like there was a war, but it was.  In fact, this is a controlled war conducted under limited rules, and what Lin Zheng did was just to ensure that this war retained a bottom line. For example, like Bernier, even if Lianchuang Technology lost in this war  , he can still spend the rest of his life with his family without worries about food and clothing, instead of losing his life or his relatives because of a hot head of some bastard on the other side in this war.  And strictly speaking, this is also a benefit to the other party.  After all, although there is a gap in strength between the two sides, it is not so great that one of them can directly crush the other. Since neither side can ignore the other's voice and attitude, there is naturally a basis for delineating the boundaries of the war.  "Although I don't think the other party will die together, it's not a bad thing to be mentally prepared, right, Lao Bei?" "That's right," Bernier nodded without hesitation: "That's it!"?¡­  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ There is still a little time before the secret meeting between Lin Zheng and Congressman Philip Byrd. Lin Zheng does not intend to waste this time. After analyzing the information sent by Bernier, Lin Zheng decided to meet with him first.  To be precise, the lawyer I would work with in the future was a law firm that was preparing to cooperate with Lianchuang Technology.  Lawyers are actually similar to scavenging vultures. They will fly wherever there is carrion. Although ordinary Americans are not aware of the upcoming war between Lianchuang Technology and the "Anti-Lianchuang Technology Alliance", the entire United States  The legal community is already abuzz!  In the eyes of those big lawyers and big law firms, this war is simply a collision between Mars and the Earth!  Think about the lawyers in Microsoft's "Trial of the Century" a few years ago. It's not just about making a lot of money. Once they can take over this case, it's not just about making at least 100 million U.S. dollars.  More importantly, any law firm can take this opportunity to enter the ranks of the top law firms and top lawyers. This is equivalent to a steady stream of money income. Provided that he does not mess up the matter.  .  In order to deal with these lawyers and law firms who came to promote themselves door-to-door, Bernier had to arrange a special person to do this work. There was no way, there were too many lawyers who planned to make a fortune through Lianchuang Technology.  But there is also a problem "Boss, those top barristers were signed away by the other party first." When reporting the news to Lin Zheng, Bernier did not dare to look into Lin Zheng's eyes.  Lin Zheng sighed extremely depressedly, and for a moment he didn't know what to say: "Old Bei, you are not good enough at this point." Since this war with the other party will inevitably rely on the lawyer's business to keep it secret, iq  No shortage of money.  So as the CEO of iq, Bernier should have finalized cooperation with those top lawyers who are famous and give judges a headache when they hear their names, instead of being preempted and signed away.  ¡°Boss, I¡¯ve let you down.¡± Only then did Bernier realize the seriousness of the problem.  I wish I could tuck my head into my crotch: let¡¯s not talk about other things for the moment, let¡¯s just talk about this matter, what Bernier did was indeed quite bad.  Although Lin Zheng was extremely depressed, since things had already happened, depression would not help solve the problem after all.  Taking a deep breath, Lin Zheng could only hope that he could save it from other places: "I'm not very familiar with the American legal profession, but I know that those who, Motorola and Microsoft can't unite all of them.  Do they have all the top lawyers under their banner? "If IBM, Microsoft and Motorola plan to recruit all the top lawyers in the American legal profession to help them fight this lawsuit, it will be impossible without US$5 billion.  , but they are willing to spend at least 5 billion US dollars on legal fees for this war, maybe as high as 10 billion US dollars or more?  This number sounds scary and seems impossible, but it is really not that much. Just look at the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis a few years later.  How much money did hapless Lehman Brothers spend on lawyers?  "Yes, there is no need, and they are absolutely reluctant to part with such a large sum of money," Bernier nodded, and he naturally understood the truth: "But you know, they have a very good relationship with those top lawyers."  "You mean they asked those lawyers who have a good relationship with them to give up cooperating with us?" Lin Zheng was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth in surprise: "How is this possible? Such a big case may take 10 years  There may not be one case, and a law firm may not encounter it once in a lifetime. As long as they seize the opportunity, they have established their position in the industry. They can give up so well because of their relationships with IBM, Microsoft and Motorola.  A chance? " In Lin Zheng's opinion, this is simply impossible!  "Of course they will not and cannot do this. If they dare to do this, they will be the public enemies of the legal profession. Even if they are crazy, they will not dare to offend the entire legal profession," Bernier said with a wry smile: "But they told  Those big lawyers, they can take this opportunity to raise the price." "" Lin Zheng was stunned for a while, and finally said a curse with a livid face: "Fuck you, these bastards!"  He finally understood the calculations of his opponents: Yes, we can't stop you from spending money on the best lawyers, but we can make you pay more!  Let you save a lot of money!  Although it is impossible for them to catch all the top lawyers in one goand there is no needbut they can screen the best lawyers first and then tell them: The best lawyers have been selected by us first.  Once again, there are only so many top lawyers left.  You can definitely take this opportunity to have a good timeOne stroke!  This approach is abominable, but Lin Zheng has to admit that this method is very effective. Not only does it disgust him, but he also takes this opportunity to please those greedy bastards in the legal profession who still use Lianchuang Technology's money.  , it¡¯s really a benefit at no cost.  Comrade Lao Bei felt even more ashamed. This was indeed his mistake, and it was a very serious mistake. Although he was not sure how much money Lianchuang Technology and iq would lose because of this, the most optimistic estimate would not be lower than  8 digits.  Of course, the unit is US dollars.  "Old Bei, you really, really disappoint me." Gritting his teeth and looking at Bernier, Lin Zheng said word by word: "If I didn't know you well enough, I would have doubted whether you  He accepted the other party's benefits and deliberately made things difficult for me. " Lin Zheng's words were extremely serious. Bernier's face turned pale with fright, and his clothes instantly became soaked. He said quickly: "Boss, I am.  It really wasn¡¯t intentional, I definitely didn¡¯t accept any benefits from them¡± Everything he did was because of Lin Zheng¡¯s trust, not to mention what kind of situation he would be in now without Lin Zheng¡¯s trust, even this time  He, Bernier, was in danger and would face cruel revenge from Lin Zheng in the future. He would never think about being stable for the rest of his life. Of course, the premise of all this is that Bernier really accepted the other party's benefits and deliberately gave Lin Zheng  Break the stumbling block.  "I know," Lin Zheng said with a livid face. It was because of this that he was particularly depressed. This was really just the result of Bernier's carelessness. If Bernier really accepted the other party's benefits, this matter would be easier.  Once it is solved, the cost of any solution will not be greater than it is now.  Taking a deep breath, Lin Zheng said to Bernier in an extremely depressed and aggrieved manner: "Old Bei, I don't want a similar situation to happen again. Do you understand what I mean?" "Yes, yes.  , I understand." Bernier nodded repeatedly. He was really frightened by Lin Zheng's appearance just now: "Boss, I promise that this will never happen again." "Look," he shook his head helplessly.  , Lin Zheng decided to observe Bernier for a while before saying: "First tell me about the situation of the three law firms I want to meet this time." "Yes, the first one is Aken Law Firm,  This is a five-star rated law firm specializing in antitrust and intellectual property. It is also one of the largest law firms specializing in antitrust and intellectual property in the United States. It is headquartered in Washington, DC, with more than 800 employees  ¡­¡± ¡°Wait a minute,¡± Lin Zheng suddenly thought about what Bernier said: ¡°Why didn¡¯t IBM, Microsoft and Motorola cooperate with Akon Law Firm?¡± ¡°Because they chose Eveheds Law Firm,¡± said Bai Ni.  Neil smiled bitterly and said: "Compared to eveheds, Akon Law Firm can only be regarded as a little brother. eveheds has more than 1,600 employees, which is almost twice the size of Akon. At the same time, the number of barristers is nearly 3 times that of Akon.  times, and their areas of expertise are the same" "I see" Lin Zheng smiled bitterly and nodded: I bet the other party has a better choice.  (.)
