"Mr. John, now we can only have a chance of winning by counterattacking from foreign media. You have also seen the situation of the media in mainland China. No media dares to favor us in their reports." Lawyer Zhang said solemnly.
John smiled bitterly and fought back in the foreign media, pretending they didn't do this? But the foreign media were basically captured by Wilson's team.
With so many of the world's top law firms joining forces, I really don't know how Wilson did it. The only solution for now is through political means!
"Leave this matter to me and I will take care of the public opinion outside. But you must win this lawsuit, otherwise you won't get a dime!"
…
"Boss, this is the situation. According to Chinese law, some claim clauses are limited. We can claim about 2 billion RMB. I refer to CCTV, Internet companies, Taihua Supermarket, etc. But there was no such thing before. With this kind of precedent, maybe we can make an exception and decide a higher price. If it were in the United States, I can guarantee that the amount would be at least ten times higher!" Wilson explained.
In his previous life, Feng Yu had heard that China's compensation system had always been relatively conservative. Compared with the astronomical compensation compensation that often appears abroad, it seems weak.
Overseas, an old lady who slipped at McDonald's could claim a compensation of five million US dollars because the other party did not have an obvious sign to remind her to slide carefully.
There are also some advertisements for shoes that say you will have a pair of wings when you put them on, but the result is millions of compensation, because when you put on these shoes, you have no wings.
According to normal understanding, not only Chinese people, but also Europeans, Americans and even Africans, all know that this is an advertising idea, but the court accepted it and awarded an extremely high amount of compensation. Because those jurors all believed that there was indeed something wrong with this company's advertising, and that was such a nonsense reason.
"It's okay. Just argue with the other party based on your maximum amount first. If it doesn't work, lower it. Didn't you say that according to Chinese laws, some claim amounts are not subject to the maximum compensation amount?"
"But now there is a saying abroad. They know that I am the legal director of our company, so they think that you, the boss, are behind this matter. This will cause great damage to your reputation." Wilson hesitated.
"Hahaha, my reputation? When Taihua Supermarket or those Internet companies start to claim compensation, they will still have this matter related to me." Feng Yu added in his heart that this matter itself was caused by me. Yes, they really guessed it right.
"Then, boss, I am confident that the claim amount will be increased again. However, it may take a little longer. After all, Chinese laws do not follow previous foreign case judgments."
"It takes as long as it takes, and we can afford it."
Feng Yu wished it would take longer. The longer the time, the greater the impact, and the greater the losses for those companies. The longer the lawsuit lasts, the more they will lose, and it’s time to give in!
At this moment, there was a rapid knock on the door. After Feng Yu called out, Wu Zhigang walked in quickly.
"Boss, some political axes from abroad are involved!"
Feng Yu raised his eyebrows. Foreign political axes were involved, so what
At this time, some leaders of China were also discussing how to handle this matter.
Most of them are on Feng Yu's side, believing that this is a normal commercial lawsuit and there should be no political interference. But some people believe that this matter has risen to the level of a political incident, and it cannot be ignored.
Of course, how to manage this matter should also be carefully considered. At the very least, they must support CCTV. It's just that Feng Yu said that he could handle this matter, but it seems unlikely.
Especially with so many countries united, if one person responds inappropriately, the impact will be huge.
Some people think that we should take the initiative to discuss the matter with the other party and reconcile the matter. CCTV doesn’t want to compensate, let’s forget about it. Anyway, CCTV is the one who takes advantage.
But those who oppose it believe that in this way, the other party will take advantage of it. Don't forget, the other party is also planning to sue CCTV for compensation.
Even if you want to reconcile, the other party should take the initiative, and the initiative lies in your own hands. And there must be compensation, the amount can be lower, more than three billion US dollars, which is indeed too high. But no, absolutely not!
Now that it has risen to such a height, it doesn't matter if the thunder is loud and the raindrops are light. It would be a shame if there was no thunder but no rain!
Moreover, in terms of public opinion, both at home and abroad, they have the upper hand. There is no reason to give up a great advantage and give the other party an advantage.
The final result of the discussion was to support the CCTV and sue those foreign investors. China needs foreign investment to stimulate economic vitality, but it cannot allow foreign investment to be too special.
Think about the first-class foreigners and second-class officials in ancient times, what a shame it was. Today's China cannot be said to be on top of the world, but it cannot be bullied by anyone.
Moreover, Hua Xia hasn't made his voice heard for a long time. It doesn't take a little kid to jump around casually in front of Hua Xia.

"Let me answer Mr. Brown's question. The recent lawsuits brought by our China Central Television against foreign-funded enterprises are normal commercial claims. If we think there are problems with the trial in China, then the video of the trial can be made public for Representatives from various countries will check to see if we are showing any favoritism."
"In fact, we have told CCTV that we need to give some tolerance to our international friends, so the amount of the claim has been lowered. Otherwise, the amount of the claim will be higher, and there is a basis for it. We have no similar cases in China, so we will Refer to foreign keystrokes for review. I will not list the foreign keystroke compensation amounts. This can be found in major foreign media and websites. And you must also consider that China Central Television has ten With hundreds of millions of viewers, this loss of reputation is the largest in history!”
"As for those companies threatening to divest, I can answer that now. If you refuse to admit it after breaking the law, we in China will not welcome such a company. Even if you don't take the initiative to divest, we will follow the law." Its expulsion!”
These remarks were neither humble nor arrogant, and were both soft and hard.
When these remarks appeared in major media at home and abroad, the country was filled with joy. The national representative's answer was too tough. This is what the diplomacy of a major country should be like.
And foreign media have exclaimed, when did China become so tough? Since the death of the chief designer, hasn't Huaxia always been soft
It seems that they still underestimated China and the determination of China's leaders.
Feng Yu turned off the TV, with a faint smile on his lips. If the country also speaks out forcefully, then this matter will be won!
