In the next few days, the prosecution team was busy doing further analysis of the case. Most of the time, Lu Ming did not express his opinion, but listened carefully. To be honest, the power of a legal team can never be compared with a single person. Three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang, not to mention that these are elites, and there will always be someone's opinion or their proposition that can bring inspiration.
Taking a break from his busy schedule, Lu Ming held a "Group High-level Meeting" in Room 408 of the Wendebao Club.
The so-called senior management of the group, apart from Lu Ming, now consists of three people: Lu Ming's personal assistant, vice president of Hua Xia Technology and operating officer of Hua Xia's clothing industry, Pan Mila; Wang Peipei, operating officer of Hua Xia Technology; and "Uncle Deng", editor-in-chief of "New Life", Deng Jiadong.
Of course, Deng Bo was an hour and a half late for the appointment, and when he came in, all the sensitive matters of the company had been discussed.
Including the development of China's service industry, the progress of capital injection into Sanmai Aviation, etc.
"As readers, you two can give us your opinions on the development direction of this magazine. Speak freely. Don't worry that Uncle Deng and I won't like what you say!" Lu Ming said to Pamela and Wang Peipei with a smile, "You strong women are also the target customer group of our magazine."
Wang Peipei smiled without saying anything. The more she interacted with this young boss, the more she admired him. Many of his ideas inspired her.
Pamela blinked her long, delicately highlighted emerald eyes and curiously flipped through the sample of the first trial issue of New Life.
It was not the printed kind, but two handwritten books, which were more like publication instructions. In addition to the articles, most of the content was a detailed explanation of the publication, including where the illustrations were, why the illustrations were there, what colors would be used for the color pages, why, etc.
Lu Ming looked at her and smiled: "If you have any opinions, just raise them. Don't hide them." He looked at Uncle Deng again, "Uncle Deng, if they have any questions, you can explain them!"
“Okay…” Deng Bolue rubbed his hands awkwardly, which was obviously different from the scholarly pride he had when he first met Lu Ming.
He also didn't expect that the young Mr. Lu would still hire him to remain as the editor-in-chief of the new publication. As for the position of president, it seemed that Mr. Lu would take on the position temporarily. Some of the magazine development directions he told him were refreshing.
But the most shocking thing is Mr. Lu's positioning of the content of the publication. First of all, it is full-color, so the printing cost is very high. The content, as Mr. Lu said, is "bourgeois". After Mr. Lu's detailed explanation, I learned that the magazine mainly publishes articles like chicken soup for the soul. Even if it is an advertisement, it must be high-quality soft text. Mr. Lu even took the initiative to write two short chicken soup articles. It is simply amazing.
In addition, there is a serialized novella about a strong woman starting a business. Mr. Lu wrote the outline of the first half, as well as the detailed outlines of the first few issues. The power struggles, and the emotional entanglements with several outstanding men are so exciting. However, it is a pity that Mr. Lu has to find someone to complete the content herself. If Mr. Lu had written it, this kind of "female-led article", as Mr. Lu calls it, would have been so exciting.
Even I want to see the finished product, let alone independent women and housewives. It is so inspiring and wonderful, and its insights on women's independence are even more thought-provoking.
It is a pity that Lu Dongzhi is no longer in the literary world, otherwise, there would definitely be a place for him in the market for best-selling novels.
The first issue of this serial novel has been written by a ghostwriter. I’m not really satisfied with it, but this is the only way for now.
According to Mr. Lu’s detailed outline, each issue can be seen as an independent story, which is very fresh and also makes up for the weaknesses of serialized novels.
Now, it may be a small test. Mr. Lu asks people close to him to try reading it. If it is feasible, he can print dozens of finished products and have a look on a larger scale. The printing quality of the publication is also a test. That should be the middle school entrance examination. Finally, when it is really necessary to print and distribute in large quantities, it will be a big test.
Although the general concept was Mr. Lu's idea, the typesetting, illustrations, and most of the articles were all his own work. I don't know whether the target female readers will like it.
Uncle Deng felt uneasy, and was really a bit nervous as if he was taking an exam.
"Ah, who is this 'Xia Mengbai'? Two short articles and one serial are all his, and they are so well written!" Pamela exclaimed, and suddenly looked at Lu Ming suspiciously: "Why do I feel that he is very similar to you when you usually preach?"
The two inspirational articles were indeed somewhat similar to the way of thinking revealed by Lu Ming when he told stories to Bisi. As Pamela had spent the most time with Lu Ming, she immediately became a little suspicious.
Lu Ming coughed and said, "Look at something else!"
"This article is about Buyun shoes. It mentioned those shoes with nylon snaps several times, which made me want to buy a pair of such shoes!" Pamela smiled.
Lu Ming smiled: "Yes!" It was a travel article that sold sentiments, the kind that was full of complaints and forced sorrow, but many women should like to read this kind of article.
On the other side, Wang Peipei was just picking it up and flipping through it casually. Playing with newspapers and magazines is a fashion among rich people, and it seems that her young boss is no exception.
But as he flipped through the pages, his expression became serious and he nodded from time to time, and he was surprised to find that if it was really published, he would definitely buy a copy. This was a handwritten copy, and there was no temptation like an exquisitely printed cover.
Lu Ming smiled again and said, "This publication is expected to be a niche women's publication, but we want to cultivate die-hard fans and make the women who buy this publication feel that their aesthetics and concepts are the best of this era, and make them feel that they are the trendsetters of the times."
"In addition, we need to publish a popular newspaper. Of course, we have to do it slowly and wait until our publication has established itself."
Uncle Deng was stunned. It seemed that the new boss had great ambitions.
Wang Peipei smiled at this time, "Uncle Deng, this magazine is very good. I won't say any of my opinions. Magazines and newspapers are never perfect. The style I like may not be liked by others, but overall, I am looking forward to it. I didn't expect that Uncle Deng, you have such a profound understanding of the mentality of independent women..." She didn't say the rest. She didn't expect that such an old man has such a thorough understanding of the mentality of independent women. He is worthy of being a veteran in the media.
Uncle Deng smiled and said, "You flatter me. The direction of this sample is basically what Director Lu meant."
Wang Peipei was surprised. She glanced at Lu Ming and then shook her head. He was simply a freak. People who could make people admire them too much were usually not normal people, but lunatics or perverts. Her new boss was almost at that stage, right
Lu Mingzi didn't know that he had become a "pervert". Suddenly, he felt that an idea was not right, and started discussing it with Deng Bo again.
Wang Peipei rolled her eyes while listening, and even had the illusion that her boss was originally a woman and was now a transgender
After discussing for nearly two hours, Uncle Deng said goodbye. Wang Peipei saw that there was nothing else for her to do, so she stood up and said with a smile, "Boss, I still need to go check on Sanmai."
Lu Ming nodded slightly, and soon, he and Pamela were the only ones left in the conference room.
The next group of people who came to see Lu Ming were three people, Rodman, Gao Tian and You Aoli.
Lu Ming is preparing for the three important figures of Datang Pharmaceutical.
There are too many stalls. If we name them all "Hua Xia", they will be too conspicuous in the future. Therefore, the pharmaceutical company is registered as "Datang".
You Aoli, the fat Western girl whom Alice met at the Royal Institute of Technology, is now helping Lu Ming with the patent application for the first-generation contraceptive "Enod" and the construction of a pharmaceutical factory. She is very hard-working. It seems that the orders from the little girl Alice are like imperial decrees to her.
Gao Tian is the candidate for the operating officer of Datang Pharmaceutical organized by Lu Ming. He is a calm man in his forties, with a little fame in the pharmaceutical industry. After falling out with his former employer, he is currently unemployed at home. He used to be You Aoli's teacher when he was in college, and it was You Aoli who introduced him to Lu Ming, but it seems that the master and apprentice have not been in touch for a long time, and Gao Tian does not know who You Aoli is following now.
Rodman appeared as the representative lawyer for Zhu Ergongzi, the purchasing manager of Lingwei Automobile Industry, when Xingwang Industry and Lingwei Automobile Industry had a dispute. This seemingly arrogant Western lawyer was actually a funny guy. After being taught a lesson and instructed by Lu Ming, he became a loyal fan of Lu Ming.
Under Lu Ming's instigation, Rodman is now also a registered lawyer at Wang-Lu Law Firm, but he is very lazy. After being instructed by Lu Ming to become one of the legal advisers of Lingwei Automobile Industry, his annual salary is enough for his food and drink expenses. He has no ambition and simply lives a semi-retired life.
But now, as Lu Ming's personal representative and legal advisor, he is fully involved in the establishment of the pharmaceutical factory under Datang Pharmaceutical.
According to Youoli, there is no problem at all with the patent application for Enorda contraceptive pills.
After all, the clinical trials have been going on for two years. The pharmaceutical company is unknown, but seems very authoritative. According to what You Aoli said, the Food and Drug Administration will definitely approve it for marketing.
As for the pharmaceutical factory of Datang Pharmaceutical, it would be another case of getting something for nothing. You Aoli worked very hard and chose a small pharmaceutical factory with a tablet production line that was not doing well. Lu Ming bought it for 500,000 yuan. He applied for a loan from the Imperial Bank with the pharmaceutical factory purchase contract as collateral. You Aoli was very confident that he could get the loan.
Although the Imperial Bank was corrupt, it was able to approve this kind of loan without having to pay huge bribes to relevant executives. Obviously, there was something fishy going on.
You Aoli is just an errand boy for the little girl, but he has such great power. What kind of person is that girl
Watching You Aoli carefully introducing the pharmaceutical factory, Lu Ming remembered the day before yesterday when You Aoli mentioned this pharmaceutical factory and said that it could be bought for 500,000 yuan, and that we could use this small pharmaceutical factory's production line after a slight modification. But when he said he had no money, she looked surprised.
Naturally, I couldn't imagine that money could be a problem for someone who could chat and laugh so happily with that little girl.
But it was obvious that she had to do her best to complete what the girl asked her to do. She didn't even dare to ask the girl how to do it. The girl wanted her to help her commit a crime. If she had money, she would probably help her set up this pharmaceutical factory at her own expense.
She probably asked her friends in finance for advice, so she came up with the idea of taking out a loan to set up a factory. If it were her own idea, she would definitely not understand it.
Yuori, Pharmacology? What's that name
Lu Ming shook his head and spread his hands helplessly, "Alright, alright, Ms. You Aoli, you've convinced me! Let's take out a loan, just do as you say. I'll buy this pharmaceutical factory, and I'll leave the loan to you! Oh, the loan..."
You Aoli's mouth was dry from talking, and he was afraid that he had not explained clearly the details of setting up a factory with a loan. He had to explain clearly to the guy opposite that the factory could be set up without spending a penny, but you would have a loan of 500,000 yuan, and my friend would find a way to get the interest rate to the lowest for you, because there are some projects funded by the empire, and we can take one of them.
After all, it took her a long time to vaguely understand it, but she still needed her friend to do the specific operations, which she didn't understand.
I'm afraid this guy is unwilling to borrow money. After all, who is willing to borrow money from a bank to start a business? What if he loses money? If I had to do it myself, I would never do it.
But it would be terrible if the things the lady asked us to do were not done well.
As he was speaking, Lu Ming suddenly shook his head. You Aoli immediately felt a little desperate and tears were about to fall.
Unexpectedly, what Lu Ming meant was that he reluctantly agreed to the loan to set up a factory.
You Aoli was immediately overjoyed and wiped the corners of his eyes with his hands, "Mr. Lu, thank you, thank you!" He felt so relieved that he wanted to cry.
Lu Ming coughed. Why did he feel like a bad guy
However, it is really nice to know these people who are a bit confused, but their profile pictures in the circle of friends may all be very hardcore.
The two had a secret conversation in the study, and then they came out and entered the conference room together to listen to Gao Tian's thoughts on the development prospects of Datang Medicine.
Afterwards, Gao Tian, You Aoli and Rodman said goodbye.
Rodman still had colorful hair and wore sunglasses, looking like a gangster, and didn't look like a lawyer at all.
When she left, she hugged Lu Ming tightly, shook her head, and hummed a song as she walked away.
Looking at his back, Pamela was stunned, "Can he do it?"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Potential is stimulated!" Originally, he didn't think about what he would do. He just had to have a representative with him throughout the whole process. Pamela certainly couldn't handle so many things, and Rodman was a lawyer after all, and he wouldn't be fooled by others when it came to crucial things.
But the bigger the business, the more debt-ridden I get. There's nothing I can do about it.
The phone suddenly rang. It was Wen Liangyu who called and asked if Lu Ming had finished his business. He had something to discuss with her.
It seems that there is a waiter who has been watching the people coming in and out.
…
Wen Liangyu came with Wang Qinghe, the general manager of Xingwang Industrial.
Sitting on the balcony, drinking orange juice, looking at the beautiful scenery of the green grass slope in the sunset is very pleasant.
But the content of the conversation was not very pleasant.
Wang Qinghe came to seek Lu Ming's support to seize Zhao Xingwang's leadership in Xingwang Industrial.
"Mr. Lu, although I don't have many shares, there are quite a few major shareholders who are dissatisfied with the Zhao family's violation of business rules and your nonsense. They are all willing to support me. If your shares are added, it will be enough to drive Zhao Xingwang out of office." Wang Qinghe said sincerely, and also looked at Lu Ming's expression.
Lu Ming was very calm. He picked up the drink and sipped it slowly.
There were only three people sitting around the small round glass coffee table: Lu Ming, Pamela and Wang Qinghe.
Wen Liangyu brought the person here and then left. Obviously, he knew what Wang Qinghe came here for. From a certain perspective, he supported Wang Qinghe, otherwise he would not have brought Wang Qinghe to meet him. However, he did not express his opinion directly.
He was even afraid that Wen Liangyu, Liu Laocai, Councillor Meng Dezhu, Zhao Xingwang and his own gang of five would be kicked out as well.
This is how the business world works, people seek profit and avoid harm. If they were asked to choose between Zhao Xingwang and themselves, there is no doubt that no one would choose Zhao Xingwang.
If Zhao Xingwang had not met me, he would not have been able to borrow money and might have been expelled from the Gang of Four. It was my arrival that eased his crisis, but the dispute over the patent rights of the three-point seat belt caused a greater conflict between him and me.
He sighed softly in his heart, turned around, and saw Wang Qinghe looking at him eagerly and expectantly. Lu Ming shook his head and said, "I don't agree to re-elect the chairman of the board. Even if there is a re-election, before my 200,000 is returned to me, I will still be the major shareholder of Xingwang Industrial. I will vote for Zhao Xingwang. This is the company he built with his own hands, isn't it?"
Wang Qinghe was stunned. "But he is old and his way of thinking is out of date. If it weren't for you, Mr. Lu, he would have gone bankrupt. However, for the sake of a little profit, he was instigated by his children to turn against you. He has posed a huge threat to the development of Xingwang Industrial. For the benefit of the shareholders, Mr. Lu, it is imperative to replace the helmsman of the company!"
After hesitating for a while, Wang Qinghe said, "If Director Lu wants to be the chairman, that would be even better!"
Lu Ming waved his hand, "That's not what I meant. What does it matter if I make more or less money? If I wasn't... the dispute between me and Director Zhao, after all, I still feel a little sorry for him. So, you can say that I am too soft-hearted or anything else, but I can't kick him out now and force him to step down from the position of the helmsman of the company that I have brought up with my own hands. Besides, I believe that he is just confused for a while and he will figure it out!"
After thinking for a while, he continued: "Looking at the current situation, I don't want to quit. Let me think about it. This civil strife needs to end as soon as possible, otherwise, it will be bad for everyone!"
Wang Qinghe was stunned for a moment, but soon realized that although Lawyer Lu was young, like all big shots, he had made up his mind. At his level, it was impossible for him to change his mind. He could only get up and say goodbye helplessly, leaving dejectedly like a defeated rooster. He came with high hopes but left with disappointment.
"Don't you think that we should treat this as business?" Pamela asked from the side, but her blue eyes were full of admiration.
She was wearing a loose snow-white gauze dress, which made her look elegant and bright. Her wavy blonde hair was held back by the sunglasses like a hairpin, making her look fashionable and modern. Her deep blue eyes were gentle, as if she was getting to know the man in front of her all over again.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "When I first came to Donghai, the business friends I met were these four brothers. If I caused these four brothers to fall apart because of me, I would always feel guilty. Besides, to be honest, I don't think Zhao Xingwang is a threat to me, so I must beat him into an irreparable situation! The so-called woman's kindness, first of all, the person you let go is your real enemy, the enemy who can threaten you."
Pamela nodded gently: "Maybe."
Lu Ming looked at her and suddenly smiled: "So, from now on, you will speak to me in Western language..."
"What?" Pamela was stunned.
Outside, the doorbell suddenly rang. Lu Ming shook his head, "What a spoilsport!"
Pamela went to open the door, but it was the waiter who brought her a piece of cake, saying it was sent by Director Wen.
Pamela was quite puzzled. "Boss, today is your birthday? No way? Or do you have something happy to celebrate?"
I took it over and opened it on the coffee table. It was a double-layered milky white cream cake with the Chinese characters "True Friends Are Hard to Find" spelled out in red strawberries on it.
Lu Ming smiled. It seemed that Wen Liangyu knew his choice, and he should suddenly have a different opinion of him. Maybe he felt a little ashamed, so he sent him such a cake.
"Take it home and eat!" Lu Ming stood up with a smile.
Pamela was originally alone with this man, and she didn't know why she felt so soft in her heart. But when the man mentioned going home, and she thought about how he would let his daughter eat as much cream cake as she wanted, her soft heart suddenly turned into anger. She wanted to smash the cake to the ground, smash it to pieces, and then throw it into the trash can.
