Chapter 2109 Please Enter the Urn (4)

He Zhichu's name is an unsurpassable existence in the minds of the American lawyers invited by Kevin.

In fact, he has never actually gone to court to fight a criminal trial, but he has consulted for other lawyers in criminal cases, and his ideas are all sharp and can win the game.

He personally handles cases related to business mergers.

And the case that made him famous was a battle of words in Congress to help clear the way for the merger of two large mobile companies.

When American companies reach a certain size, no matter whether they are merged or split, they cannot decide on their own, and they need the approval of Congress.

Otherwise, the big label of "anti-monopoly" will be put on you, and those who want to merge will be disturbed for you, and those who don't want to be merged will be split for you, and you will be taught in minutes what is the iron fist of capitalism.

Therefore, the lawyers who do business cases in the United States are all the elites among the elites.

Because this kind of large-scale business merger needs to convince hundreds of high-ranking members of Congress who represent the interests of all parties. It is not the same as in criminal cases. It is enough to go to court to convince the judge and jury. The difficulty and work involved The intensity is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

For a moment, these people all showed longing looks on their faces.

Gu Nianzhi was very happy when he saw it. He glanced lightly and said, "So the information I got is reasonable and legal. The defendant's lawyer's request is unreasonable. I hope the court can reverse it."

The judge on the trial bench discussed with the clerk, agreed to Gu Nianzhi's request, and said, "I agree to dial it back. Defendant's lawyer, please present evidence carefully, and don't waste everyone's time."

The Indian barrister Arif blushed at the words, sat down awkwardly, and glared at Lu Anpeng next to him.

Obviously he was the one who refuted it first, but he was the one who was reprimanded later.

Indian-born barrister Arif expressed dissatisfaction.

Gu Nianzhi nodded to the judge, thanked him and said, "Thank you, Your Honor."

She turned to look at the dock and continued: "Because of the inconsistencies in the racial identity of the defendant Kevin, our team conducted further investigations."

"It turned out that Kevin's identity, from birth to university graduation, has been filling in his Japanese identity. But when he applied for a passport to come to China a year ago, he chose the ethnic identity of 'Chinese'."

"When he came to our country, he has always been active as a Chinese, and he quickly became one with everyone. No one doubted that he was not a Chinese."

Gu Nianzhi walked to Kevin's dock, knocked on the desktop of the dock, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Kevin, can you explain to everyone why you suddenly changed your ethnic identity before coming to China?" ? Are you trying to cover up something?"

Kevin raised his head, stared at Gu Nianzhi for a while, and said calmly, "No, my father is Japanese, and my mother is Chinese, so it doesn't matter what I choose."

"Your father is of Japanese descent?" Gu Nianzhi raised his eyebrows, "But your surname, Laris, does not seem to be of Japanese descent."

Laris is an American surname through and through.

Kevin sneered and said sarcastically, "Lawyer Gu looks nothing more than that. Didn't you say you investigated me? How could you not know that my father is actually a Japanese orphan adopted by American Laris?"

Gu Nianzhi thought, of course I know this, but I will tell you?

She looked surprised and said, "Then this American Laris should be your grandfather... How can you speak of him in such a casual tone? Tsk tsk, it's really unfilial."

Gu Nianzhi has no objection to directly calling the elders by their names, but the tone of speech must be respectful, otherwise it is very rude.

Kevin twitched the corner of his mouth, "I'm answering your question, what do you mean by the tone? Are you at the end of your rope?"

Gu Nianzhi laughed, "Even the poor donkeys know that, Mr. Kevin, your Chinese is really good."

"As a Japanese-American who was born and raised in the United States, he can speak Chinese with a broadcast accent,

Your Chinese teacher since childhood must have some background. "

Gu Nianzhi rested his elbow on the dock, as if he was tired from standing and was looking for support, and then asked: "Mr. Kevin, who is your Chinese teacher since childhood, do you remember?"

Kevin folded his arms and sat on the back of the chair, and said casually, "Is this question related to this case? Can I refuse to answer?"

"No. This issue is closely related to this case." Gu Nianzhi looked at him calmly, "If you don't tell me, I will have another reason to suspect that you have falsified your identity."

Even so, Kevin did not directly answer Gu Nianzhi's question.

He glanced at Lu Anpeng, and Lu Anpeng understood what he meant, and immediately asked the judge to adjourn the court for ten minutes.

The judge agreed to his proposal and asked them to go down to discuss countermeasures.

In the small conference room next to the court, Kevin asked Lu Anpeng: "Can I answer this question?"

Lu Anpeng frowned tightly, and said, "I don't see how important this question is, why can't I answer it?"

"I'm just asking you for a consultation." Kevin was also unhappy, "You can't give professional guidance, but you still ask me? Is this your attitude in doing things?"

Lu Anpeng's face turned red and white at what Kevin said, and finally said: "Then who are your Chinese teachers? Are they very good?"

Kevin: "..."

He said displeasedly: "You were also misled by Gu Nianzhi? I really can't figure out what this problem has to do with this case. Is she really not wasting time, or procrastinating?"

"Once the court session starts, time is out of her control." Arif, an Indian barrister beside him, tried to explain to Kevin, "As long as your Chinese teacher has no problems, just talk and see what tricks she can come up with. "

Lu Anpeng was more cautious and careful. He thought for a while, and then asked: "Then who are your Chinese teachers? Let's do a quick background check first."

Kevin had no choice but to say: "I have only had one Chinese private teacher since I was a child, and that is Du Yueming. She taught me Chinese for ten years, from the age of five to the age of fifteen."

"Du Yueming?" Lu Anpeng frowned even tighter, "Sounds familiar."

"She is very powerful, and now she owns a large Chinese language training center in the United States, and she no longer gives private lessons to others." Kevin introduced Du Yueming's background information to him, "Before she went to the United States, she was on China's national TV station. As the host of the evening news program, Chinese is very standard."

Lu Anpeng understood, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "No wonder Gu Nianzhi said that your Chinese is a broadcasting accent, which is really extraordinary. It turns out that your Chinese was taught one-on-one by such a good person."

Kevin smiled, looked at his watch, and said, "It's time, let's go back."

Back in court, Gu Nianzhi was still relentless and asked Kevin who his Chinese teacher was.

Kevin said confidently: "It's Ms. Du Yueming. She taught me from the age of five to the age of fifteen. I learned my Chinese from her."

Gu Nianzhi tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said, "Du Yueming? Is that the Du Yueming I was thinking of? He used to be a well-known evening news host on China National Television? That Du Yueming?"

Kevin still folded his arms, nodded casually, and said meaningfully: "It's her. But she left Huaxia National Television many years ago and went abroad. I didn't expect Mr. Gu to know this person at a young age. It's really amazing." Simple..."

Gu Nianzhi Pippi smiled and said, "I'm overwhelmed by the award, because this person is so famous, there are still many posts on the Internet that miss her."

How could Gu Nianzhi, who grew up as an internet kid, not know about this person?

Even if she had already left this country and settled down in another country.

"Really? That just shows that she is very good at business, so I can speak Chinese with an on-air accent." Kevin sneered.

Gu Nianzhi returned to his plaintiff's seat, pulled out Du Yueming's information, put it on the big screen, pointed to Du Yueming's dignified and handsome profile photo, and said: "This is the most famous evening news host on Huaxia National TV. She went abroad It's time to become famous."

As he said that, Gu Nianzhi changed the subject, looked at Kevin and said, "Du Yueming is teaching Chinese abroad, and her social status is very high. In her capacity, she taught hundreds of people a class, and 20 years ago, it was 5,000 US dollars per class." class."

"If you want to hire her as a private teacher, as far as I know, the price is not lower than 5,000 dollars a class."

"But Mr. Kevin, your family's annual income was less than 50,000 U.S. dollars when you were a child. May I ask how your parents paid at least 5,000 U.S. dollars for a class, and hired the famous Du Yueming to teach you? "

Kevin froze for a moment, he opened his mouth, but found that his reasons were weak.

Gu Nianzhi didn't allow him to speak, and then said: "Don't tell me that Du Yueming is teaching you Chinese for free. Why do people do this kind of thing for free? Your father hadn't made a fortune at that time, and his family was not considered rich, let alone powerful. , why do people teach you Chinese for free?"

Lu Anpeng rubbed his forehead, and knew that every question Gu Nianzhi asked was a pitfall, but what was infuriating was that the angle she asked the question was from an unusual way, making it hard to guard against.

It's really tiring to go to court with her.

Kevin was still thinking of a reasonable reason, but Gu Nianzhi had already thrown out Du Yueming's bill and said, "Everyone, please take a look, this is Du Yueming's bank statement from that year. It shows clearly that Du Yueming will send money to himself every week. In my bank account are four checks, five thousand dollars each, signed by John Larys."

"If I'm not mistaken, this John Laris is Kevin's father, John Laris."

"Mr. Kevin, tell me that your father's annual salary was less than 50,000 US dollars more than 20 years ago. How did he pay 20,000 US dollars a week to hire you such an expensive Chinese private teacher when you were young? These Where did the money come from?"
