"President, the court accepted our case against CCTV."
"Huh, they don't dare not accept it, otherwise public opinion will crush them to death! What do the CCTV people say? Do they agree to our terms and let's reconcile directly?" John looked proud.
This time so many companies joined together, he was pushed out to be the decision-maker, not only because the company he belonged to was strong, but also because he had the strongest ability.
They don't want to really break up with CCTV, otherwise their products will inevitably lose one of the most important promotion channels in the future. They just want the other party to compromise and get some benefits, such as halving next year's advertising fees, or giving them an extra advertising period, etc.
"President, there is another news. Although our case has been accepted, it is still going through the process. When I came back today, I brought back this."
John took it and glanced at it, and was shocked. He quickly opened it, how could this happen
"This is... a notice from the court. We are the defendants? How did you do it? Are we not the plaintiffs?" John was furious.
"President, this is the case they sued us. The court said that they should be filed separately for trial. Their procedures have been completed first, so this case will be heard first. And the two cases have similarities, so they will be heard together. They have already The materials have been submitted, but our materials are not ready yet.”
"What did you say? Have they prepared all the materials? You went too far and the CCTV sued us because of the bullying?" John thought that CCTV had only prepared the materials to sue them.
"No, our companies have become defendants at the same time, and CCTV has submitted all the information."
All companies have become defendants and the information is ready. How is this possible
Either they had this plan in advance, or they have a stronger legal team. But how could they afford to hire such a large team if they sued so many companies at once? They must have planned it long ago!
"If they want to litigate, we will accompany them. With our team of lawyers, we will definitely make CCTV look good. If they find it difficult and return it, if they persist, then let them lose their lives!" John said with squinted eyes. He has been working in Huaxia for more than ten years, and he can be regarded as half-savvy in China. He has even learned a lot of idioms.
…
"Boss, these people are representatives of various law firms and are also the most famous lawyers. They are all very good at fighting this kind of cases, and they get the maximum benefit for the employer every time, making the employer very satisfied." Wilson said in the small conference room , introduced more than a dozen people to Feng Yu.
"Do you all speak Chinese?" Feng Yu asked.
Many people looked at each other. They had developed in Europe and the United States before, so how could they know Chinese.
Feng Yu frowned and looked at Wilson: "How could you do this? This is a lawsuit in China. They don't even understand Chinese. How can they argue? Do you think you can bring a translator with you during a lawsuit?"
Seeing Feng Yu's dissatisfaction, Wilson quickly explained: "Boss, they all work in other aspects such as off-site support. The people from my law firm are the ones who actually participate in the debate. And they use off-site media to influence the judge's decision. They have the most experience. Although China’s legal system is different from Europe and the United States, the influence of public opinion must also be taken into consideration, right?”
Feng Yu nodded, this is correct. Just like many laws in China, the sentencing range is within a certain range. If the evidence is conclusive, a verdict will definitely be made, but the difference in the severity of the sentencing is too big. The influence of public opinion is reflected here.
Sometimes, even if the person's crime is not particularly serious and the lawyer's words are ridiculous, after public opinion is affected, he will still be sentenced to the maximum penalty stipulated by the law.
Just like what Feng Yu knew about the two Lis in his previous life, it was because the influence of public opinion was particularly bad, so the sentences were very harsh.
Feng Yu still has a little confidence in fighting the lawsuit, but the foreign lawyers hired by the company are of little use because they don't understand Chinese. And how many Chinese lawyers dare to confront CCTV
At least those successful and famous barristers don't dare to do it. Those companies hire a lot of Chinese lawyers, but most of them are newcomers or lawyers with problems. If they can still lose, then Wilson The lawyers we hired should never do this again.
"I've told you the conditions. It's up to you whether you can succeed in claiming this time. The stronger your ability, the more you will earn. If you don't have any ability, you will end up just a money-splitting person. Don't blame me for being rude. !" Feng Yu reminded.
Those lawyers quickly promised that they would actively support foreign public opinion and make those companies pay the price. In the eyes of these lawyers, this is just a business and has nothing to do with the country or anything else. In their country, it is not uncommon for companies to sue the government.
What they believe in is money first. Otherwise, in foreign countries, lawyers and doctors are called vampire professions by many civilians.
However, although their charges are high, they have never charged such a high amount. The amount of the claim this time is several billion dollars. CCTV alone has more than 3 billion U.S. dollars, and there are also large Internet companies in China. The amount of claims will definitely not be low. Even if they can only claim back US$300 million in the end, they can still distribute US$150 million equally to each law firm, starting from US$10 million.
The most important thing is that they don't have to pay much for this lawsuit. They only need to provide judgments on similar cases and guide public opinion in foreign media. They are the best at this.
With less things to do and more money, what else is there to be dissatisfied about
What's more, if they can handle this matter well, they might be able to truly get in touch with Feng Yu, the richest man in the world. Look at that Wilson. He was not as good as many of them at first, but since he became the legal director of Feng Yu Company, his net worth has skyrocketed, and he has even opened so many new law firms.
Feng Yu's chief lawyer, this name can bring a large number of clients and a lot of income.
Go out and tell others that the richest man in the world and I hired the same law firm, but others won’t look at me with admiration!
…
"President, please find out. The attorney hired by CCTV is called Wilson. He is an Englishman. He also has the identity of being the legal director of Feng Yu Company and also the chief legal representative."
"What? Why did Feng Yu get involved in this matter? But what are you afraid of? We have such a strong team of lawyers, dozens of people, we will definitely win this time!"
"President, I also heard some news. It seems that this time Wilson has joined forces with more than a dozen of the world's top law firms, as well as China's top law firms. Their legal teams include hundreds of well-known lawyers!"
"How many? Hundreds of people?!" John was dumbfounded. Does this damn lawsuit require so many lawyers? Those of you who have heard of a team of lawyers have never seen such a large team of lawyers. Don’t you know that lawyers’ fees are very expensive
What does this CCTV mean? The upper management of China doesn’t care about it. Isn’t this an obvious money-burning behavior
