"President, the court had accepted our lawsuit against CCTV."
"Humph! They also don't dare to reject this lawsuit. If not, they will be suppressed by the public! What did CCTV say? Will they agree to our conditions and settle with us directly? "John asked proudly.
This time, many companies had formed an alliance, and John was chosen to be the decision-maker. This was not only because his company was the most powerful, but also because he was the most capable.
These companies also do not want to fall out with CCTV. This way, they will lose an important marketing channel for their products in the future. They only want the other party to compromise and get some benefits. For example, next year's advertising fees will be halved or they can get more advertising slots.
"President, there is another piece of news. Although our lawsuit had been accepted, it is still in the process. When I came back today, I had brought this with me."
John took a look at the document and was shocked. He quickly flipped it open. How did this happen?
"This is … … the notice from the court. We are the defendants? What are you doing? Aren't we the plaintiffs? "John was furious.
"President, this is the case they are suing us. The court had said to separate the cases. They had completed their procedures first, and this case will be handled first. Also, these two cases are similar. That's why they will be handling them together. They had already submitted their documents, and our documents are not ready yet. "
"What did you say? They had prepared their documents? This is too much, and CCTV is suing us? "John thought that CCTV had only prepared the documents to sue them.
"No. All of our companies had become defendants at the same time. CCTV had submitted all our documents."
All the companies had become defendants and had prepared their documents? How was this possible?
Either they had planned this a long time ago, or they had a team of lawyers. But how could they hire such a big team to sue so many companies at once? They must have planned this from the start!
"If they want to go to court, we will accompany them. With our team of lawyers, we will surely teach CCTV a lesson. It's fine if they back off. But if they continue to be stubborn, then we will embarrass them! "John narrowed his eyes and said. He had been working at Hua Xia for more than 10 years, and he could be considered to be an expert in Hua Xia. He had even learned many idioms.
… …
"Boss, these are the representatives of the law firms. They are also the most famous lawyers. They're all very good at this kind of case, and they've always gotten the most benefits for their employers, making them very satisfied. "Wilson introduced the dozen or so people to Feng Yu in the small meeting room.
"Do you all know Chinese?" Feng Yu asked.
Many people looked at each other. They had all developed their careers in Europe and the United States. How could they know Chinese?
Feng Yu frowned and looked at Wilson. "What's wrong with you? This is a lawsuit in Hua Xia. They don't even understand Chinese, so how can they argue? Do you think you can bring an interpreter with you during a lawsuit? "
Seeing Feng Yu's dissatisfaction, Wilson hurriedly explained, "Boss, they are all supporting outside the venue. The ones who are really debating are the people from my law firm. Moreover, they were most experienced in using the media outside the venue to influence the judge's decision. Although Hua Xia's law system is different from Europe and America's, we still have to consider the influence of public opinion, right? "
Feng Yu nodded. What Wilson said was right. It was just like Hua Xia. Many laws had the same range of sentencing, and if the evidence was conclusive, the sentence must be given. But the difference in the severity of the sentence was too big. This was where the influence of public opinion was reflected.
Sometimes, even if the person's offense was not serious, and the lawyer's words were exaggerated, the person would still be given the highest sentence under the law.
Just like what Feng Yu knew about Er Li's case in Feng Yu's previous life. It was because of the bad influence of public opinion, and the sentence was very heavy.
Feng Yu was still confident in his ability to fight in court. Those foreign lawyers hired by those companies were useless as they do not know Chinese. How many Hua Xia's lawyers dare to go against CCTV?
At least those successful and reputable lawyers did not dare to go against Hua Xia's lawyers. Those companies might have hired a lot of Hua Xia's lawyers, but most of them were newbies or had problems. If they still lost, then those lawyers hired by Wilson would not be able to work in this field anymore.
"I had told you all the conditions. It is all up to you all if you can get the compensation. The more capable you all are, the more money you will earn. If you all are useless, then don't blame me for being ruthless! "Feng Yu reminded the lawyers.
Those lawyers quickly promised that they would support those companies in the overseas media and make them pay. To these lawyers, this was a business and had nothing to do with the country. In their country, there have been cases of companies suing the government.
What they believed in was money. Otherwise, why would lawyers and doctors in foreign countries be called vampires by many commoners?
Although the lawyers' fees were high, they had never charged so much. This time, the compensation amount was a few billion USD. Just CCTV alone was more than 3 billion USD, and there were still Hua Xia's internet companies. The compensation amount should not be low. Even if they could only get back 300 million USD in the end, they will get 150 million USD. Every law firm will get at least 10 million USD.
Most importantly, they do not need to do much for this lawsuit. They only need to provide similar cases and influence the overseas media. They are the best in this field.
Less work, more money, what was there to be dissatisfied with?
Furthermore, if they can settle this case well, they might be able to get close to the World's Richest Man, Feng Yu. Look at Wilson. He was not as rich as most of the lawyers in the group in the past. But after he became Feng Yu's company's Legal Director, his net worth had increased by leaps and bounds. He even opened many new law firms.
Feng Yu's top lawyer. This title will bring in lots of clients and high income.
If I tell others that I'm in the same law firm as the richest man in the world, people will look at me in a different light!
… …
"Chairman, I had found out that CCTV had hired a lawyer called Wilson. He is an Englishman, and his other identity is Feng Yu's company's Legal Director. He is also the chief lawyer."
"What? Why is Feng Yu involved in this case? But what's there to be afraid of? We have a strong team of lawyers, and we will win this case! "
"President, I also heard that Wilson had hired more than a dozen of the world's top law firms and Hua Xia's top law firm. Their team consists of more than a hundred famous lawyers!"
"How many? More than a hundred?! "John was stunned. Do they need so many lawyers to fight a lawsuit? He had heard of legal teams, but he had never seen such a big team. Don't they know that lawyers' fees are very high?
What is CCTV trying to do? Hua Xia's higher-ups are not doing anything about this. This is burning money!
