In Luo Fan's impression, international patents do not seem to be that difficult to obtain.

In the company where Luo Fan last worked in his previous life, there was a situation where domestic patented products applied for international patents.

At that time, the boss of the company directly contacted a large foreign law firm.

Luo Fan remembered that the time to apply for an international patent was about the same as that of a domestic patent application, and the fees were not that outrageous, not even 10,000 US dollars, let alone 100,000 US dollars.

Although that happened after 2020, the gap should not be that big.

Therefore Luo Fan can be 1000% sure that these dogs are trying to trick him.

They also asked him to go to some branch in Shanghai to discuss it in detail. Luo Fan now wanted to blow their heads off.

The next day, Luo Fan took the company's legal adviser Ying Qianlong to the so-called branch.

The result was just as Luo Fan expected, the branch was simply the Shanghai branch of an international law firm.

The rest of the matter was simple. Luo Fan opened the door and went in, telling the front desk that he wanted to see the chief executive.

The front desk had already received a notice from the superiors and knew that a "fat sheep" would come to deliver money today, so they immediately led Luo Fan to the office on the third floor.

Sitting in the office is a man in his early 30s with black hair and blue eyes, and a somewhat oriental appearance on his face.

"Are you Mr. Luo Fan?" The man stood up from his seat, greeted him enthusiastically, and asked in fluent Chinese.

Luo Fan can be sure that his smile is absolutely sincere.

mmp, you can earn 200,000 US dollars just by smiling, it’s weird if your smile is not sincere!

Then the man asked the front desk to make two cups of tea, and he asked Luo Fan to sit down quickly.

"Is Mr. Luo Fan going to apply for an international patent?" the man asked.

"Yes! But your price is a bit too high." Luo Fan said with a half-smile.

"Oh my god! Mr. Luo Fan, I can guarantee with the life of our boss that our prices are absolutely fair. In your Chinese words, they are fair and honest."

"Why don't you use your own life or your parents' life guarantee?"

The man's smile froze, feeling that something was not going well.

Sure enough, Luo Fan said in the next second: "After contacting your boss, I felt that your price was too expensive, so I contacted several other multinational law firms. What do you think their quotations were?"

"Haha...haha! Mr. Luo Fan is joking. Our law firm has a good reputation in the industry. There must be other law firms that cannot be as clean and tidy as ours." The man said with force.

"But no matter how clean and tidy it is, the charge won't be more than ten times worse, right?"

"Good... good service, the price is naturally more expensive."

"That's it! Then what will happen if I report you to the Shanghai police for fraud?"

The man was silent after hearing this. To be honest, if Luo Fan reported them for fraud, it would not have much impact on them from a legal perspective. What would a few emails do to them?

However, this is not necessarily the case at the moral level. Nowadays, doing business requires integrity, especially for law firms. If there is news that their law firm has defrauded others, it will be a huge blow to their reputation.

Thinking that the man's attitude had changed, he quickly said: "Mr. Luo Fan, I think there must be a misunderstanding between us.

I guess there is some problem with our staff, so be it! Mr. Luo Fan, we can give you a 20% discount on your international patent application, and we guarantee that it will be completed within a month, what do you think?"

Luo Fan understood that this was because they were giving in, and he also understood the principle of giving up when they were ready, but Luo Fan still had a question he wanted to get an answer from them.

So Luo Fan pretended to be looking down in thought, and after thinking for a few minutes, Luo Fan said: "Yes, yes, but I want to know who revealed to you that our company is a fat sheep that can be slaughtered at will?

Or is this the way your law firm always treats customers?"

"How is that possible! Don't get me wrong, Mr. Luo Fan, this is just a mistake made by our law firm staff.

Our staff members made mistakes mainly because they heard some rumors."

"Really? Where did you hear the rumors from?"

"It's a gentleman named Zhao."

Luo Fan frowned when he heard this. He originally thought that Wang Jing's friend wanted to join forces with this multinational law firm to trick him. After all, it was Wang Jing's friend who brought up the matter of international patents.

But Wang Jing’s friend is not named Zhao.

Of course, it is not ruled out that Wang Jing’s friends may use false identities to cause trouble.

Luo Fan desperately wanted to know who was cheating on him behind the scenes.

So after Luo Fan reached an agreement with the multinational law firm, he returned to the company with Ying Qianlong.

Wang Jing already knew about this. As soon as Luo Fan came back, Wang Jing came over with a guilty look on his face.

"Boss, I..."

"Brother Wang, don't say anything. It's not your problem. You are also doing it for the good of the company. Brother Wang, do you think this matter has anything to do with your friend?" Luo Fan asked.

Wang Jing shook his head without hesitation: "Boss, it has absolutely nothing to do with him. He is not someone who can do such a thing. We were classmates in college. He has never cheated and cheated. He is a very honest person.

"

"That's it! Then there are others. Brother Wang, ask your friends if there is anyone named Zhao around them."

Wang Jing was stunned for a moment and felt deeply moved. Luo Fan told him the news because he fully trusted him.

If this thing was really done by his friend, he would be tipping off his friend by asking, but Luo Fan still chose to tell him the news.

Just because of his guarantee.

Wang Jing secretly made up his mind that he would not let Luo Fan down, let alone cause the company to suffer losses.

Wang Jing then called his friend. Wang Jing did not directly ask his friend if he knew anyone named Zhao. Instead, he asked indirectly if anyone else was around when he applied for an international patent yesterday.

Facing Wang Jing's question, his friend felt a little strange but answered honestly: "Brother Wang, when I called you yesterday, someone was squatting in the toilet. There was no sound outside at that time, and I didn't see anyone when I came out.

, there should be no one outside.

As for whether there is anyone in the cubicle, I don't know. Did something happen to Brother Wang?"

Wang Jing hesitated and asked: "Xiao Chen, is there anyone named Zhao in your company?"

"Surnamed Zhao? Yes! Our boss's assistant is named Zhao."

Hearing this, Wang Jing breathed a sigh of relief. Based on his understanding of his friend, this matter most likely has nothing to do with his friend. There is a high probability that this person is up to something.
