American Entertainment 1982

With a cigar in his hand, Jim pointed to the lawyer Robert Morley who was sitting opposite: "I don't care what method you use! In short, make those cheap whores disappear immediately!"

"I'm still investigating from which channels those prostitutes received Actor's compensation, Jim, you can't drive them away roughly at this time, it will only make Lotus's public image worse, you should understand, big companies You have to care about your own image, so..."

"No need to fucking teach me how to run a company! Robert! Don't fucking change the subject, I'm not interested in discussing business ideas with you, let those whores disappear! Some newspapers in Massachusetts have already taken this as a local news report, Mitch and Jonathan was almost frightened by those vulgar prostitutes and needed psychological counseling, did you know? A prostitute who claimed to be infected with AIDS rushed to a position only three meters away from Mickey! Although it was later discovered that the woman did not have AIDS, Mickey did Scared to pay a high price to contact the best private hospital in Boston to arrange various physical examinations for him!" Jim stared at Robert sharply:

"Don't fucking investigate how those prostitutes collect money. If I hire those prostitutes, I can think of 10,000 fucking ways that you won't find out! When your people find out, maybe the Soviet Union has already The flag is planted on the dome of the White House, I don't need a process, I need a result, and the result is, I need those whores to disappear right now! And, what you say next, you better not refute me, or I will tell you again If so, just fucking replace you, you've already made a mistake, you know? You fucking told me that Actor hired a little-known law firm to take charge of it, but the reality is that the country's 16th white The partner of the shoe firm appeared in front of me, and almost frightened me, the moment I saw that white-haired girl, my balls almost flinched!"

Seeing Jim's serious and fierce expression, Robert finally lowered his head and didn't dare to talk back to him. He was silent for more than ten seconds and made a call: "Reynard, there are more than a dozen prostitutes demonstrating outside the Lotus company. I want to You deal with them quickly and I don't want the public to associate their deportation with Lotus."

The person on the phone seemed to think for tens of seconds, then said something, and finally Robert nodded: "...you can't check the other party's... Of course we can't find prostitutes to do the same thing, Actor's company is in Stanford On a university campus, it's private land, understand? No need to call the police, the Stanford campus police can easily drive the people we ask out of their premises, and if you ask a group of prostitutes to demonstrate in San Francisco, it seems more like helping Actor Corporation Well-known, are you still in Warwick City? Already have a clue? Well, let me explain to the other party."

After finishing speaking, Robert hung up the phone and looked at Jim Manzi who was waiting for the result: "Jim, it's best not to drive away those whores."

"I hired you at a fucking high price just to let you tell me, better not? Better not!" Jim loosened his tie, and his neck was slightly stuck, looking like he was about to hurt someone.

"Reynard has experience in this kind of thing, and the other party also has investigators active. This kind of thing is just a lot of mistakes. There must be their investigators near the prostitutes. They just recorded the process of driving us away from the prostitutes, etc. When it comes to the court, it will be troublesome at that time. I mean, this kind of thing is not something that can be explained clearly to the judge or the jury in a few words, but it needs countless witnesses and testimonies to prove that we did not participate in the expulsion of prostitutes, or expulsion of prostitutes. There are good reasons for leaving prostitutes, in other words, this kind of disgusting trick is to deliberately drive you away from those women, if you really do it, your impression points on the jury will drop sharply first." Robert said to Jim Sincerely said:

"The best option is to give your two bosses a break and take some time off from the company."

Jim turned around irritably and cursed. At this moment, the phone on Robert's desk rang again. He glanced at the number, but instead of picking up the phone, he pressed the hands-free button: "Reynard?"

"From investigators sent to California, it appears there was a disagreement between Tommy Hawke and his attorney, Delia Keyes, who met at the Four Seasons Café, although our investigators couldn't hear them. conversation, but I could see some scenes by observing from a distance, and after talking with the waiters and other guests in the coffee shop, I felt that the two had disagreements. Delia returned a check to Tommy Hawke, But Tommy returned it to her, and then Delia left with a gloomy face. Through the relationship with the airport, we found out that Delia returned to Washington." Leonard, who was in charge of Robert's investigation and investigation, said in a calm voice said:

"Combined with the fragmented information obtained, I suspect that Tommy Hawke or Actor is preparing to replace the legal team."

Hearing the voice coming from the phone, Jim immediately stepped forward and asked into the phone: "What are the other characteristics that aggravate your suspicion?"

"Not long ago, Actor Company had two more members of the fraternity of Stanford Law School as legal assistants. Before them, Actor had only one part-time graduate student named Sophia O'Connor, according to the fragmented information we collected on campus. , Tommy Hawke had a party a few days ago with law school fraternity members, and I suspect it's likely..."

"It's likely that Delia's service charges are too expensive, and Actor's financial capacity is a bit too much, so I think people from Stanford Law School can give him a waiver or a discount?" Robert Morley added with a bright eye.

Leonard on the phone said: "It is very likely that Delia returned the check to Tommy Hawk, and Tommy Hawk returned it to her. I guess it is very likely that Tommy Hawk thinks that although Can't continue working with each other, but hope Delia Keith keeps her mouth shut, second news, we learned that Actor seems to be selling their software in Florida and Mississippi, and I've already arranged for people to go to these two places Looking at specific sales, they seem to have opted for telemarketing instead of working with chain stores."

"I will call you again. The news is very timely. Let me know as soon as the sales data is obtained." Robert said to Leonard, then hung up the phone and looked at Jim: "We finally have New Harvest, I have a brother at Davis Polk's New York headquarters, maybe I can get him to come forward..."

Jim had a gloomy expression just now, but now he covered his mouth with his hand, frowned, and asked Robert his own question: "Why didn't Actor choose an alumnus from Stanford Law School before? It shouldn't know that Dilly Go back and find a bargain with your hands in your pockets the first time after Ya Keith's offer?"

"You mean, they acted for us? Maybe people from Stanford Law School noticed this lawsuit and offered to help..." Robert gave his opinion.

"Provide help? Have you offered to help others for free? Robert?" Jim's gray-blue eyes stared at Robert:

"No benefit, you will never help people, so I don't think the guy from Stanford Law School will be nobler than you in character, think about it carefully, what benefits do those people get for helping Actor Corporation? Except money Other benefits! What benefits can make Delia prefer to return the money to the other party and stay, and finally get the money but leave with a sullen face?"

"Industry reputation...jurisprudence." Robert lowered his eyebrows and immediately looked up at Jim: "Actor Company thinks that this lawsuit may lead to industry precedents! Stanford's initiative to help, and Delia's change of face and departure are all because of this." A case that may be born!"

Jim bit his cigar and looked at Robert who seemed to have suddenly realized: "This is what you are good at. Tell me, is it possible for a small company to get a case?"

"There is no difference between the defendant and the plaintiff, but there is a difference between weak and strong in the eyes of the public. For example, U.S. Steel Corporation looks strong alone, but when it becomes the plaintiff and sues the US federal government, it is weak. The weak get Jurisprudence..." Robert didn't finish speaking, and seemed to think of something:

"Those two states are poor areas of the United States, and they are both rural idiots. Every time there is a movement in the United States, the idiots in these two places will respond stupidly, even if the result will only make their situation worse, but they will never tire of it. Nader said that they use direct TV sales to sell software. I doubt...Actor is tying up those ignorant people, and has already labeled themselves as weak in advance. In other words, the case is the result that most Americans want to see. It seems to be related to the law, but in fact it has little to do with it. It is more like a group carnival. Everyone can use this as much as possible. The next opportunity to grab the maximum benefit."

"Selling software to fucking poor people who haven't even seen a computer?" Jim Manzi rubbed his forehead with some headaches, then picked up his suit jacket: "This guy named Tommy Hawk is really Mom is a talent, how good does he have to be in order to do this kind of thing? The last person in my memory who did this kind of thing was still fucking myself. I want to go to Florida for myself. I am in I have a few friends over there."

"Have you ever sold software to the poor?" Robert asked curiously.

Jim walked out while wearing a suit jacket: "No, I once sold a few pieces of land in Littrow State to a group of people a few months after the successful Apollo 17 moon landing. Montana rednecks run wheat farms, tell them they can go to work anytime, and we use the money we make to go to nightclubs."

"Littrow State? Where is it? There is this state in the United States?" Robert thought for a while, but had no memory of the name.

"On the moon, it's the name of a valley on the moon." Jim walked to the door of the office, turned to look at Robert, buttoned up his suit, and said:

"The name is not important. The important thing is that the poor don't think I lied to them until now. They think that the government is corrupt and deliberately delaying the development of lunar agriculture. If Tommy Hawke also uses this trick on those rednecks in Florida In person, it means that those country poor ghosts are treated by him as a steady stream of cash machines... In short, I have to find a way to erase their advertisements on the TV to see if it is possible to expose that guy's conspiracy and cut off the Actor company. source of income."
