After a while, the crew of MZ878 came, but at the sight of Chen Guang's gloomy face, they didn't dare to say anything and ran away.
Nelson, Pierce, and Jack, the "culprits", didn't dare to leave the plane. Instead, they waited in the aisle of the cabin, waiting for their punishment.
"I think it's enough. Now that the scandal has been exposed, they must have learned their lesson. How about we change planes and go back to China? "
Said Tang Ying, browsing the news on her mobile phone.
She didn't sympathize with these people, but felt that it was enough. The earlier they left, the earlier they could go back to China. After all, there was such an important meeting tomorrow.
Chen Guang was also playing with his mobile phone. From time to time, he looked up at Nelson and the others in the distance. Then he shook his head and said, "Don't worry. It's still early. Do you think we're done? Believe me, the airline is more shameless than we think. "
After waiting for about half an hour, Mr. Donder, the representative of Baker & Associates in Los Angeles, a well-known lawyer who was on par with Pizarro and was known as one of the top ten lawyers in US aviation cases, came with two assistants and a briefcase under his armpit.
As the largest law firm in the United States, it had the most professional lawyers in all aspects. The nearly two million dollars that Chen Guang had paid to Baker & Associates had been transferred by Pizarro into the annual legal consulting fee for Baker & Associates.
On the surface, it seemed that Pizarro had done Chen Guang a favor. Obviously, he had only paid for the lawsuit against Prince, but he had become an employee of Baker & Associates.
But that was not necessarily the case. Next year, if Chen Guang still wanted to enjoy the legal services provided by Baker & Associates, he would have to continue to pay the fees.
He would sacrifice his short-term interests, but he could get long-term benefits from Chen Guang.
Pizarro, the lawyer, had a considerable degree of autonomy. He believed that he was a good judge of character and knew Chen Guang's character.
For these new tycoons, in the words of the Huaxia people, they were loyal. If the partner was loyal to him and satisfied him, then he would not easily change the partner out of vulgar considerations of benefits.
Now that the Tianguang Group represented by Chen Guang was growing stronger by the day, coupled with his recent involvement in the field of photocatalysis, Chen Guang himself was a rising star that couldn't be ignored in the world.
If they could reach a long-term partnership with him on a global scale, the business benefits it represented would be unimaginably huge.
Donder raised his proud head and walked to Chen Guang under the desperate eyes of Nelson and the others. He then took out a tablet from his bag and opened a document in front of Chen Guang, saying, "Mr. Chen, this is the lawyer's letter that we've just prepared. Please have a look."
Chen Guang glanced around and was very satisfied with the professionalism of the Baker Law Firm.
In this brief lawyer's letter, American Airlines' bad attitude and illegal practices in this "overselling" incident were concisely and comprehensively explained in detail.
The letter started from the authenticity of the overbooking, to the reasonableness of forcing the passengers who had already boarded the plane to get off, and then to the so-called random drawing, which turned out to be four Chinese people. There might even be some under-the-table operation.
The Baker Law Firm believed that American Airlines' behavior was suspected of racial discrimination!
Moreover, after being opposed and boycotted by the passengers, the coercive measures taken by American Airlines and the Los Angeles Airport Police were also very problematic.
They framed the important passengers who had been certified by the Safety Committee as extremists, pulled out a gun in public, and even fired!
No matter what, they had fired. Now the bullet was still in the hands of the "victim", Chen Guang. The evidence was conclusive and irrefutable.
As Chen Guang waved his hand, Donder called the headquarters on the spot. Within five minutes at most, this lawyer's letter would appear in front of the senior management of American Airlines and the news media.
What's more, Donder asked his assistant to take out a high-definition video camera from behind and directly record the video in the cabin in front of Chen Guang, preparing to use it as an online press conference.
When Chen Guang contacted them before, he had made it very clear that he had to leave today, so he had no time to hold another press conference. However, it was just right to "hold" it here.
The "press conference" only lasted for less than ten minutes before Donder announced the end with a very meaningful smile. "This matter will not end so easily."
He was one of the best aviation litigation lawyers on the earth. This time, American Airlines and the Los Angeles Airport Police were completely unable to stand on their feet, so he could win the case without lying on the ground. According to the contract signed between the firm and Chen Guang, this kind of lawsuit was like lying on the ground and getting money.
How could he not be happy?
Nielsen and the others, who had been watching the scene in a daze, almost wanted to die.
This time, they had really kicked an iron plate, and it was a very hard iron plate. He was just like an iron hedgehog!
As soon as the video of the press conference was sent out, the CEO of American Airlines finally called Chen Guang.
"Mr. Chen, I've got the details. I apologize to you on behalf of American Airlines, and I'm willing to pay you a lot of compensation. Let's call it a day. What do you think? "
The CEO's attitude was quite sincere.
Chen Guang grinned, "You don't have to apologize to me personally, because I don't intend to forgive you at all."
There was a moment of silence on the other side of the phone. Obviously, the CEO didn't expect that Chen Guang would be so tough even though he was so sincere.
"So what do you want, Mr. Chen?"
Chen Guang thought for a moment and said, "You don't have to apologize to me alone. You should apologize to all the Chinese people who are being discriminated against by your company, or have been discriminated against in the past. You should also publicly promise that this kind of thing will never happen again. Of course, Meizhong Airlines will have to pay the compensation. "
"Mr. Chen, I admit that you have made great contributions to the aviation industry, but don't you think you are asking too much? Don't you think you are being too aggressive? We will never apologize to any Chinese people for the overbooking incident! The interests of the employees in the aviation industry are above everything else! They put in a lot of hard work and should be respected! "
"So you can take other people's seats at will? I don't care whether the employees or the customers are more important in your company's creed. What I care about most is that the so-called random selection results are all Chinese people! Besides, don't fool me with the ridiculous excuse of overbooking. I'm tired of hearing similar excuses today. You can only fool fools. You are discriminating against Chinese people, and this is the real reason why I don't accept your apology! Because you are completely wrong. Even now, you still don't realize where the real problem lies. Goodbye! "
After that, Chen Guang didn't give the CEO a chance to talk nonsense and immediately hung up the phone.
Donder, the lawyer, gave Chen Guang a thumbs up. "Well done, Mr. Chen. Your answer is great. It gives us the upper hand in the next lawsuit."
Chen Guang shrugged. "I didn't think about my answer carefully. It was just my most sincere thought."
On the other side, in the office of American Airlines, the CEO was furious. On one hand, he accused the Schultz father and son of making trouble out of nothing and provoking people who shouldn't be provoked. On the other hand, he was angry because of Chen Guang's tough attitude.
At the same time, many leading companies in the aviation industry association called.
Obviously, the video of the online press conference had been published on the Internet. Everyone could see that Chen Guang planned to make a big deal out of this matter.
Other companies couldn't help but sympathize with American Airlines, but they also felt that they deserved it.
In the American aviation industry, employees of all companies had high status, but American Airlines was the most arrogant and unscrupulous.
Their peers had already warned Mei Zhonghang, hoping that they would restrain themselves a little. However, Mei Zhonghang didn't take it seriously and continued to do as he pleased. He was even proud of it, so they could only say that they deserved it.
"Damn it! This is too much! "
The CEO hung up the "sympathy" phone call from others in the industry and turned around to see the public lawyer's letter and video press conference from Baker Law Firm on the Internet.
"I won't give in so easily."
Twenty minutes later, he gave a public speech in the conference room of his company's headquarters. There weren't many media present, but for such a large company, it wasn't difficult to find some news mouthpieces.
He made a clear statement to the public.
Everything went according to Chen Guang's expectations. American Airlines refuted everything in the lawyer's letter. They refused to admit the truth about the oversale, nor did they admit that there was something fishy about the random selection. They only insisted that it was a small probability event, and it was just a coincidence.
As for whether or not the law enforcement process was excessive, American Airlines didn't quibble because of the irrefutable witness and material evidence. They frankly admitted their mistake and expressed their willingness to publicly apologize and compensate to Chen Guang.
But they firmly denied that there was any problem of illegal operation and discrimination in the whole incident.
When Chen Guang and Tang Ying saw American Airlines' reply, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.
At this moment, the two of them didn't sit in the cabin of MZ878; instead, they sat in the VIP lounge. Donder didn't leave; instead, he stayed in this room with more assistants.
They used this place as a temporary office.
"See, I knew it would be like this."
Tang Ying couldn't help feeling a headache. "This will become a protracted lawsuit. Even if you have the help of Baker Law Firm, it will definitely take a long time to collect evidence and argue in court. Discrimination is a very bad phenomenon. They won't admit it even if you beat them to death."
Chen Guang smiled mysteriously. "No, it's not troublesome at all. I can handle it today. "
Tang Ying was puzzled. "Why?"
Chen Guang craned his neck and looked at the direction of the door in the distance. The two culprits, Nelson and Pierce, were still waiting awkwardly with Schultz. American Airlines wouldn't give up trying to reach an understanding with Chen Guang through these three people until the last moment.
As for Jack and his colleagues, they were temporarily relieved of their duties and detained. What awaited them was another lawsuit. They were suspected of several crimes such as duty-related crimes.
"Really, it's not troublesome at all." Chen Guang stood up. At the same time, he turned around and greeted Donder, "Mr. Donder, please take your assistant and equipment. We're going to talk to Schultz, the head of American Airlines in Los Angeles."
Donder was shocked. He thought Chen Guang was going to let go, which hurt him a lot.
"Mr. Chen, this... I don't recommend you to contact them again before the trial. There are many things to prepare in advance."
To his surprise, Chen Guang shook his head. "No need. Let's go and collect evidence now. It's very important."
Chen Guang cast a meaningful glance at the haggard Schultz in the distance and licked his lips silently.
My forced transaction...
Well, it didn't cool down.
But to make Schultz tell the truth, he didn't need to use such a high-level skill. Now he had a more energy-saving method.
This was an inner strength technique that could search one's soul. It was one of the more than 400,000 martial arts techniques that he had mastered in the True Martial Land. He had integrated it into the True Martial Divine Technique, but he could still use it.
The name sounded domineering. "Soul Snatching Technique."
In the real world, it wouldn't be as domineering as it was in the Realm of True Martial. It could completely control a person's mind.
In the past, it was so weak that it could be ignored. It might not even be as good as a low-end hypnosis.
But now that the power of the Holy Grail on Earth was getting stronger, Chen Guang didn't need to cultivate in the Martial Sage Realm. He could naturally recover his strength along with the increasing power of the Holy Grail.
The reason wasn't complicated. Cultivation in the Realm of True Martial relied on Yin and Yang Qi. The power of the Holy Grail in the real world was far more original than Yin and Yang Qi.
Now that Chen Guang used this method to deal with Schultz, it was perfect.
Mr. Schultz wasn't a tenacious person. Since the incident in the afternoon, he had been in a state of panic.
Now Chen Guang planned to pretend to negotiate with him to make him lower his guard. Then he would knock down his guard and use the mind skill of an internal force master.
"Mr. Schultz, let's have a talk."
Together with Donder, Chen Guang stood in front of Schultz with a smile, looking like a weasel paying respects to a chicken.
