"I will not allow this plea agreement to take effect!" In the judge's office, which was filled with bookshelves and thick books, Cao Guan threw the plea agreement on the table.
He stared at Lu Ming with some reproach: "Either you ask your client to admit that he committed the crime while in a good mental state, and I will sentence him to life imprisonment, or you can fight this lawsuit!"
Lu Ming had no choice but to smile bitterly, and Zhang Jingjing was even more dumbfounded.
It is the judge's power to reject a plea agreement, but few judges use this power.
"But, my master went to Xinjingzhou and took the train last night..."
"That's his problem. Besides, don't we have you?" Cao Guan said with a sullen face.
"But, but, I have never handled a case independently, let alone a murder case like this..." Zhang Jingjing was a little panicked.
Lu Ming thought for a moment and said, "Your Honor, I also think that replacing the main prosecutor with Lawyer Zhang is too unfair to the victim. Moreover, I have found some new evidence that needs further analysis. I hope that this case can be postponed..."
Cao Guan looked at him and asked, "How much time do you need?"
"The new evidence is very complicated. It will probably take a month. I will be able to sort it out in a month..."
Cao Guan frowned, but finally nodded: "Okay, this case will be postponed for the time being. I will give you half a month!"
"Thank you!" Zhang Jingjing said sincerely as she walked out of Cao Guan's office.
Lu Ming smiled, turned and left.
…
Room 302, Husky Hostel.
Lu Ming received a call from Liu Hanming.
"Brother Lu, thank you! Please come next month!" Liu Hanming said in a very cordial tone.
Lu Ming applied for a half-month extension. After ten days or so, the prosecution can also find reasons to further extend the trial. As long as the defense does not object, there will be no problem in resuming the trial of this case one month later.
At that time, the summer annual review had already ended. Liu Hanming only needed to deal with a small lawsuit in the next few days to get three points, or he could do nothing. I think the annual review weighted points would be several dozen points, and there would be no problem in successfully becoming a fourth-level senior lawyer.
It was Lu Ming who took the initiative to ask the judge for a one-month extension.
Zhang Jingjing reported to him, so he naturally understood that Lu Ming was doing him a favor.
As long as he can pass the fourth stage in the summer review, it won’t matter if he loses the lawsuit. He still has one year to make up for the deducted points.
Not long after Liu Hanming hung up the phone, someone knocked on the door. It was someone from Liu Hanming's law firm, who brought four invitations. Lu Ming, Wang Da'an, Chen Qinghua, and even the operator Jiji were all named on the invitations.
Liu Hanming also gained a lot of face by returning the favor.
Chen Qinghua and Ji Ji were both extremely excited.
Chen Qinghua could not have imagined that even though he had applied for a job at such a small law firm, he would have the honor of attending the ceremony where Attorney Liu Hanming was promoted to the fourth level of lawyer.
Jiji, who came from the countryside, was particularly fascinated by such occasions.
Wang Da'an was dumbfounded. He never expected that the lawsuit would end like this.
It seems that in a month, Lu Ming will not only win the lawsuit, but also do a huge favor for Liu Hanming.
It has both the inside and the outside, it's so excellent that it's hard to describe.
"Fourth brother, if there are no major accidents, your lawsuit is settled." After hanging up the phone, Lu Ming looked at Li Mingxuan.
Li Mingxuan smiled bitterly, but it was obvious that there was still some uneasiness in his eyes. He was increasingly unable to understand Lu Ming now. This case seemed to have really helped him to get rid of the guilt. He didn't know how Lu Ming would deal with him next.
"Tsinghua, take the information and let's go." Lu Ming made a gesture.
…
The magnificent VIP box of the Windebao Club.
Zhao Xingwang and his most trusted executive, Wang Qinghe, the general manager of Xingwang Industrial, had already arrived. When Zhao Xingwang saw Lu Ming coming in, he immediately stood up enthusiastically, "Lawyer Lu, come on, please take a seat."
In his spare time these days, Lu Ming took a detailed look at the financial and operating statements of Xingwang Industrial over the years, as well as the corporate development plan carefully written by Zhao Xingwang.
In fact, the financial situation is indeed very bad and the direction of business development is unclear.
Zhao Xingwang probably knew this too, because he himself was not satisfied with what he had written after racking his brains.
Now, his eyes were full of worry.
"Lawyer Lu, before you say anything, please take a look at the financing plan we have drawn up." Zhao Xingwang took out a three or four-page document and handed it to him with both hands. There was hope and uneasiness in his eyes.
Lu Ming opened it and saw that Zhao Xingwang proposed three options. The first one was that if Lu Ming was willing to lend him 200,000 yuan, he would be willing to mortgage the entire factory to Lu Ming, and the annual interest would be calculated at 35%.
The second plan was that Lu Ming would invest 200,000 yuan, and he was willing to transfer 30% of the shares of Xingwang Industrial to Lu Ming. From then on, Lu Ming would be the largest shareholder of Xingwang Industrial. However, his family and old friends together held more than 50% of the shares, so he still had control over Xingwang Industrial. He made this clear in the plan.
The third option is that Lu Ming borrows 100,000 yuan with an interest rate of 35%. He invests 100,000 yuan and obtains 16% of the shares of Xingwang Industrial.
Lu Ming flipped through the pages slowly.
Zhao Xingwang stared at him nervously, his heart in turmoil.
Wang Qinghe sighed softly, not knowing whether the boss was desperate and pinning his hopes on such a young boy. It was obvious that the boss was really at the end of his rope.
Nodding, Lu Ming said: "The second option is quite good. I also want to invest in industry!"
Zhao Xingwang was stunned, "Well, that's good of course!" He never expected that Lu Ming would choose a financing plan that he had no hope for at all.
Although many shares have been given away, the money raised can be used entirely for relief. Today, no one would want the shares of Xingwang Industrial even if you give them away for free to friends, because the company may go bankrupt, which would only bring you trouble.
"It's just like this, Boss Zhao..."
Zhao Xingwang's heart sank immediately.
"I know a technology company that deals with patents. They are also working on a three-point safety belt project. To be honest, I have invested some of my money in this company. I think if I let them handle this project, I can probably get an extra 10,000 yuan for Xingwang Industry."
Zhao Xingwang was stunned. Having been in business for many years, he immediately realized that there was a problem here. It was the patent for the three-point seat belt. Did this technology company look favorably on it
"What's the name of this technology company that Lawyer Lu has invested in?" Zhao Xingwang asked with a smile, secretly observing Lu Ming's expression. If Lu Ming showed displeasure, he would immediately stop talking about this issue.
To be honest, when you are at your wit's end, doing business is not about how much others make, but what you can get from it.
Now things look brighter. Even if people are after your three-point seat belt, what else can you say since you can't do it
"It's called Huaxia Technology." Lu Ming smiled.
Never heard of it.
Zhao Xingwang looked at Wang Qinghe and saw Wang Qinghe nodded slightly.
"Okay, Lawyer Lu, I agree to your terms!"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Okay, then I will draw up the financing agreement. Boss Zhao, you also need to have a legal representative present. In addition, please ask Boss Wen to be the middleman."
Zhao Xingwang pointed at Wang Qinghe and said with a smile, "Qinghe used to be a lawyer. He has always been responsible for legal issues."
Wang Qinghe smiled: "That happened more than a decade ago! I was defeated repeatedly and lost my lawyer's license. So, I have the greatest respect for a genius like Lawyer Lu!"
Following Zhao Xingwang's instructions, the waiter quickly invited Wen Liangyu over.
Seeing that Lu Ming really took out the money, and that he had bought one-third of Xingwang Industrial's shares, he became the largest shareholder.
Wen Liangyu looked at Lu Ming with a different look.
Lu Ming struck while the iron was hot. After signing the agreement with Zhao Xingwang, he proposed going to the Donghai Patent Office to go through the patent owner change procedures for the three-point seat belt patent.
As he spoke, Lu Ming took out a check for 210,000 yuan.
Zhao Xingwang didn't hesitate and agreed immediately.
