June 29, 1986, Seattle.

Two Pan-Asian employees, Ahang and Ayun, accompanied Cameron Diaz’s father, Emilo Diaz, and mother, Mary, to the K&L Gates law firm.

Standing in front of the building, Mary couldn't help but look at Ehang with an uneasy look, "Hang, do you really want to do this? Sue Pacific Gas and Electric Group? That is one of the energy groups controlled by a large consortium."

Ah Hang had a bright smile on his face and was very proficient in English. "Ms. Mary, you are doing this for the health and safety of all Amei citizens and fighting on the front line of environmental protection! This is to help God protect the world!"

Mary, "..."

Emilo couldn't help but rolled his eyes and whispered, "Can you really win the lawsuit? If you win the lawsuit, you can get millions of dollars in benefits?"

Ahang nodded.

Ayun impatiently said in English, "The boss has helped you earn more than 1 million US dollars in profit for your 1 million US dollars... You don't want to make more?"

Emilo instantly calmed down and stopped being frightened. He lit a cigarette and took two puffs before he gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, of course we want to make more!"

In order to catch a super hitchhiker, he didn't even hesitate to borrow loan sharks. The loan was from an acquaintance. It was just for a simple half-year period, with nine outings and thirteen returns. There were not many cheating tricks such as interest compounding, interest adding up to interest, etc.

It’s just nine out and thirteen out in half a year. Calculating the interest rate of more than 40% a year, it’s still scary.

The money was only 200,000 U.S. dollars. He gave him 180,000 U.S. dollars, which is about half a year's interest of 80,000 U.S. dollars, but what is that? In two or three months, he made a profit of 210,000 U.S. dollars with 20 times leverage on that 180,000 U.S. dollars.

Got it!

Overall, it was a profit of more than 1 million US dollars for 1 million US dollars.

The next moment, Emilo put his arms around Mary's shoulders and said, "Let's go."

A moment later, when the group was asked by the front desk if they had made an appointment, Ehangang smiled directly and said, "Please report to Mr. William that we are here to express goodwill on behalf of a major shareholder of Microsoft."

That's right, the real linkage in Zhao Donghuai's plan to sue Pacific Gas and Electric Company directly targeted Bill Guy's father's law firm, which is after all one of the largest law firms in the United States.

In the future it will even be one of the largest law firms in the world.

The front desk was surprised, quickly picked up the phone and reported, and then arranged for someone to serve coffee to the four Emirates Airlines.

The front desk also needs a keen eye. The current market value of Microsoft's current market value is more than 2 billion US dollars. He holds 20% of the shares and has cashed out a lot of cash, making him a rich man.

After the phone call ended, Ah Hang and others waited for more than ten minutes before being introduced to William II's large office by the secretary.

William II, who is just 61 years old, is still in good spirits. He received the four people from Emirates Hospitality politely and was full of curiosity during the conversation.

His son's Microsoft is caused by Morgan, Rockefeller, Goldman Sachs and other large financial groups, and they want to occupy it.

Why did a representative of a major shareholder come to see him again? What did he want to do?

Before he could continue to test, Ah Hang smiled and said, "Mr. William, you are one of the best lawyers in the United States. I am here on behalf of my boss this time just to ask you to help fight a lawsuit."

"Sue a lawsuit against Pacific Gas and Electric Company because environmental protection requirements were not met, causing the amount of hexavalent chromium in the drinking water in the small town of Hinckley, California, to seriously exceed the standard."

"California's health indicators should limit the hexavalent chromium content in drinking water to 0.02 ppb, but the index in Hinckley Town has reached six times. This is the maximum for Hinckley town residents, where cancer is frequent, far exceeding other towns.

reason."

"We searched enough academic evidence in the University of California library that serious excess of hexavalent chromium in drinking water will cause human beings to be susceptible to breast cancer, gastric cancer, etc..."

Along with Ahang's explanation, Ayun opened his briefcase and began to show the evidence.

(Never compromise) The real-life prototype is Pacific Gas and Electric Corporation, which installed a compressor station near the town of Hinckley to connect the natural gas pipeline system in California and other states.

For more than ten years from 1952 to 1966, the group used hexavalent chromium as an anti-corrosion agent for compression machinery, but failed to take anti-leakage measures, causing hexavalent chromium to seep into the groundwater.

Then, Hinckley Town was unlucky. Twenty or thirty years later, cancer patients appeared frequently, making it a cancer town!

The prototype of the original heroine of Never Compromise was in the early 1990s, when she was investigating a real estate project related to Pacific Gas and Electric Group, and found that the diagnostic report in a file was abnormal, so she began to investigate and visit.

Then there was the environmental giant eucalyptus with a claim of 333 million, and there was a movie version in 2000.

Zhao Donghuai intercepted Hu in advance because he was looking for evidence based on the prototype. People from the Pan-Asia Group are doing the work, and at the appropriate time there will be FBI police officers to help you collect evidence.

He filmed the film for more than a month, and everything went smoothly, except that the prototype character got out of hand.

William II, "..."

He is messy, confused, and confused. Didn’t you say that Gates, the major shareholder of Microsoft Corporation, is visiting me to express goodwill?

In the chaos, William smiled professionally and said, "Sir, at my age, I generally don't take on lawsuits personally anymore."

Emirates said decisively, "Seek justice for hundreds of thousands of citizens and sue a behemoth like Pacific Gas and Electric. You are making the decision for the citizens of North America, and it may involve hundreds of millions in compensation."

"Your company can get 30%!"

William II immediately took out his reading glasses from the table and put them on, "Let me take a look at the information first."

The information is very complete. The first is the Hinckley Cancer Patient Survey... The number and proportion of patients with cancer are obviously many times higher than those in normal North American small towns. There is also age. Many people get cancer at a young age.

Secondly, California has limits on the standard proportion of hexavalent chromium in drinking water, and there is evidence that the drinking water content in the town of Singletary is six times the maximum proportion.

There is also evidence that the Pacific Gas and Electric Group compressor station near the town of Hinckley used hexavalent chromium as a preservative for compression machinery for more than ten years.

Including hexavalent chromium leaking into the town's groundwater... The California scientific community is concerned about...

After reading all kinds of evidence, William took a long breath. The evidence was too complete, too much.

After reading all the evidence and investigative reports, he felt that he could really win this lawsuit. After all, he was already at the top of the North American legal profession.

With so many townspeople demanding hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation, it's very reasonable.

When he looked at Ahang excitedly, Ahang introduced Mary, "Ms. Mary will be the representative of hundreds or even more victimized citizens in Hinckley Town."

"We will convince many townspeople to support Mary and help them seek justice!"

William II nodded, "It seems that your preparations are very sufficient and strong. When will it start??"

He suspected that this was something being done by a competitor of Pacific Gas & Electric Group, and that Bill Gates, the major shareholder of Microsoft, was showing goodwill as an excuse for the other party to want to see him as soon as possible without making an appointment.

But it doesn’t matter. It’s a big deal involving hundreds of millions of claims, and the lawyer can bite off a big chunk of it in proportion, so it’s worth doing.

As for a behemoth like Pacific Gas and Electric, do you sue him? There are definitely troubles and risks in matters of this level, but with the situation of the William family, everyone can basically save face and play the game within the rules.

The North American lawyer circle is really strong. For example, most North American officials are lawyers, and they have great influence in the area of ​​judicial power.

It’s amazing that a North American actor can run for the position of commander-in-chief, but according to official statistics, half of the many A-Mei’s who serve as commander-in-chief were once lawyers!

Now you know how valuable the world of top lawyers is. Why, in a certain simulation, after Microsoft was swallowed up by Gai Ge, he ran out to set up his own business, while Oracle boss Ellison, who played the same game as him, just turned his back on the dumpster?

Brother Gai only needs to go back and continue to be the head of Microsoft, and he can continue to be a respectable rich man, and he can also control a certain proportion of Microsoft's equity.

If you catch the gangsters of a large group and file a class action lawsuit, it doesn't involve any individual. This is a normal move.

After all, he often works for the consortium. His wife has the experience of being the boss of one of the largest charities in North America and has a wide network of contacts.

Serious commercial litigation will not always encounter a dump truck warning.

For Pacific Gas and Electric, the most it can do is throw in the CEO's white gloves to apologize.

Lawyers also need big lawsuits to build their golden bodies, otherwise there would be no big lawyers in the original trajectory to help the archetypal female protagonist (who never compromises) fight this lawsuit.

Of course, all this is limited to the fact that the lawyers are all white barristers, and the prosecutor's representatives and victims are also white, authentic North Americans.

And Pacific Gas and Electric... He is not the final word of some consortium family, with absolute control. The equity is relatively dispersed, and dispersed equity represents internal chaos.

Ah Hang then smiled and said, "We can prepare after the movie is released."

William II was once again in a mess, confused, and confused... What does this have to do with movies? What the hell kind of movie is this??

Tens of seconds later, he looked at Ah Hang and others in shock. How is Hollywood's gameplay so advanced now? Does it need such a perverted way to promote a movie?

As one of the top lawyers in North America, William is really smart.

But he still felt that his horizons were wide open and breathtaking!

Ahang laughed and said, "It should be early July, July 10th at the latest, the movie starring Yin Sabel Adjani will be released on AMC. By then, Ms. Mary will completely imitate the heroine in the movie.

"

"Mr. William only needs to sue Pacific Gas and Electric Group like the righteous lawyer in the movie, and then he can become the savior of the North American people. You will be a real-life superhero!"

"With supreme reputation, it is much easier to help people win votes."

William, "..."

He was silent for a few minutes this time before curiously asking, "Can I watch the movie in advance before it is released?"

It looks like the lawyer in the movie definitely won the lawsuit!

Yin Sabel Adjani turned into a model for the townspeople, sued the super conglomerate, and pleaded for the people...

Before Ah Hang could answer, he asked curiously, "Who are you working for??"

Ah Hang smiled and explained, "Does Mr. William know about Zhao's Pictures in Hong Kong?"

William was speechless again. How could he not know? When Microsoft was being robbed by Wall Street, those who worked with Wall Street, or even before Wall Street, were the capital from Hong Kong Island.

He had inquired privately, and it was only because a certain capital in Hong Kong came to seize Microsoft and Oracle that he aroused the interest of Wall Street predators, and recruited a large staff team to spend a month or two studying Microsoft and Oracle.

Only then did it finally end!

As co-authors, you really represent a major shareholder of Microsoft??

William exclaimed, "I never thought that someone could make a movie like this and play Xuanfa. The new work of Zhao from Hong Kong really interests me!"

"I'll take this offer, but I want 50% of the claim amount!"
