America is in control

Chapter 27 Patent Application and Money Plum Monkey
"Are you a patent attorney? I mean, do you hold a bar and pass the patent attorney exam?"

As soon as Liu Jiang sat down, he asked the question he was most concerned about.

Although this seems a bit aggressive, there is nothing wrong with being cautious.

There are too many liars in this world!
"Of course, these are my documents and certificates. You can look at them at will. In addition, I am not just a patent attorney. If you have other legal issues, you can also consult me."

Harvey acted quite calmly, as if this was not the first time he had been questioned by customers.

He directly took out the ID and certificate from the drawer and placed them on the desk.

Liu Jiang pretended to check it, and after finding no obvious errors or omissions, he returned to the topic.

"I have an invention that can be used as a training device or a children's toy. I want to apply for a patent to protect my personal interests to the greatest extent. What should I do?"

After stating his request concisely, Liu Jiang looked at Harvey sitting behind the desk.

Harvey pressed the clock on his desk very naturally, and then said: "Two options. First, I will help you prepare the necessary information, and you will submit the patent application to the Patent Office yourself. Second, you entrust me Doing it on your behalf will save time and effort.”

“How much do these two options cost?”

"The first plan is billed based on time, and the cost depends on the time I spend on this matter. The second plan depends on how far you want to achieve it. Generally speaking, it is 3000-5000 US dollars."

"Is it so expensive?"

"For an individual, that's a lot of money. But you know, my clients are generally corporations."

Liu Jiang thought about it and decided to give it a try. It was definitely not an accident that the boxing magic ball was so popular in his previous life.

"I choose the second option, the top-tier one, $5000, right?"

Harvey was a little surprised. He originally thought the case was over.

Who knew that the boy in front of him asked for a top-notch set meal.

"Let me confirm again. Are you going to choose the second option? Or is it the $5000 level?"

"Of course! You get what you pay for, I still understand this truth. What I want is to protect my interests to the greatest extent, can you do it?"

Liu Jiang took out his checkbook and waved it towards Harvey.

"Your request is my pursuit, don't worry! I promise to handle it beautifully for you."

After the two reached an agreement, Liu Jiang and Harvey signed an agency agreement.

When signing the agreement, Harvey asked General Liu's identity very vaguely.

He even made a 'biu' sign on his chest.

Let's test whether General Liu is a gang member.

Liu Jiang was laughed at Harvey's little move. He told Harvey that he was a boxer and that all the money was bonuses he won through competitions.

"Have you paid your taxes? These bonuses."

Harvey asked strangely.

"Not yet, do you have to pay taxes on bonuses?"

Not knowing why the other party asked this suddenly, Liu Jiang was a little confused, but he still answered truthfully.

"Of course you have to pay taxes, no one can escape it! When did you win these bonuses playing games?"

"I have only learned boxing since March this year."

"That's okay. Don't forget to pay taxes during tax season next April! Otherwise, the IRS will come after you!"

Harvey gave one final warning.

Leaving this small law firm, Liu Jiang felt a little complicated.

On the one hand, my business plan is officially launched. No matter whether it can be completed in the end, this is at least a beginning.

On the other hand, his wallet was half deflated in an instant, which really made him feel a little sad.

Maybe when the patent is applied for, I will become a professional boxer! The days passed day by day, and October arrived in a blink of an eye.

America's highest level amateur boxing tournament, the Golden Gloves National Championship, kicked off at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Madison Square Garden is a large white cylindrical building located in Midtown Manhattan, New York.

It is the home of the New York Knicks, New York Rangers and other teams.

It is also the first choice place for pop stars such as Michael Jackson, Madonna Ciccone and Mariah Carey to hold concerts.

It is also a mecca for boxing that has hosted classic events such as Joe Frazier vs. Muhammad Ali, Robert Duran vs. David Moore, etc.

Liu will be invited to this event by virtue of his title as California Golden Gloves lightweight champion.

He will go to New York to seize the stepping stone for him to switch to professional boxing.

Accompanying General Liu in the competition this time are Robert and Alfonso.

The group arrived in New York three days early and found a hotel not too far away from Madison Square Garden.

After settling in, Robert took General Liu to the competition venue for registration. Of course, weighing and urine testing were also indispensable.

After all this was done, Liu Jiang received a player number plate with numbers engraved on it.

There are still two days until the official start of the game, and these two days cannot be wasted.

Robert and Liu Jiang found a boxing gym with fairly complete facilities on the street near the hotel.

After learning that Liu would be a player coming to compete in the Golden Gloves National Championship, boxing gym owner Brown happily accepted the two.

Not only did he allow General Liu to train in the boxing gym, but he also gave him a good discount on the fee.

After training all afternoon at the boxing gym called 'Thunder', Liu Jiang and Robert returned to the hotel.

Alfonso was bored waiting in the hotel, and felt a little more energetic after seeing the two of them come back.

This time, Alfonso asked his boss for a 10-day leave in order to accompany General Liu in the competition.

His boss was naturally very dissatisfied and even threatened Alfonso.

Alfonso was completely unmoved and was determined to ask for leave.

According to him, this is a very critical node in Liu Jiang's life, and as his uncle, he must give his full support.

This moved General Liu quite a bit. He felt from the bottom of his heart that the Italian family concept was very similar to that of the Chinese.

After a night's rest in the hotel, Alfonso accompanied Liu Jiang to the Thunder Boxing Gym for some basic training.

Robert went to meet his old friends and try to find a way to make a list of lightweight players for this event.

Because this event is the most watched amateur boxing event in the United States, the players invited are also champions from various regions.

Therefore, the prize money of this event is extremely generous. If you win the championship, you will receive a reward of US$3.

Such generous rewards naturally make all the contestants jealous.

General Liu is no exception. He is ready to go all out.

Robert returned to Thunder Boxing Gym around three o'clock in the afternoon.

He actually got the basic information about the contestants in all weight classes.

General Liu took the list from Robert's hand and looked through it carefully.

A somewhat familiar name came into view.

Floyd Mayweather.

Isn't this the plum monkey nicknamed 'Money'?
