"… …" The judge kept quiet. He had never heard such a smooth trial in his life. The trial had only started for 40 minutes, and he did not know what to do.
Therefore, after Zhou Hongwei finished speaking, the judge was actually speechless for a few minutes. It was not until his colleague beside him reminded him that the judge reacted. With an awkward expression, he asked, "Defendant, are you sure you want to plead guilty and not defend yourself?"
"There is no need for that. These are all our mistakes, and we are willing to accept any punishment!" Zhou Hongwei said sincerely.
"Plaintiff, do you have anything to add?" The judge asked.
"What do we have to add? Can we come up with a few crimes on the spot? " Microsoft's representative grumbled in his heart. But he has a feeling that Zhou Hongwei is up to no good. Zhou Hongwei is not sincere in apologizing, and he must expose Zhou Hongwei's true colors!
The Microsoft representative snorted. "I don't believe that the defendant has really pleaded guilty. He is just trying to quibble!"
"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed when they heard what the Microsoft representative said. Even the judge laughed.
"Sir, although we've made a mistake, please don't accuse us wrongly. You said I am quibbling. Then which part of my words are quibbling? "Zhou Hongwei asked innocently.
"Your … …" The Microsoft representative's words got stuck in his throat.
That's right. What the other party said earlier was not quibbling. But to the judge, it sounded like quibbling … …
The Microsoft representative kept quiet, and Zhou Hongwei said sincerely. "I am very sorry. This is all our fault. I have hurt you too much. I know it is hard to turn back now!!!"
"Sour …" The audience inexplicably felt their gums tingling. Even the judge could not help but say, "Plaintiff, please watch your words. Although the defendant has pleaded guilty, you can't slander the defendant!"
"I … …" The Microsoft representative was speechless. He could only shut his mouth.
"Alright. Since that is the case, the court will adjourn temporarily. The jury will discuss the verdict, and the verdict will be announced in the afternoon!" The judge hurriedly announced and ended the morning court session. It was incredibly fast. Many reporters were prepared for the court battle that would last for several days. They even booked hotels for more than three days.
In the end, it was announced in the afternoon that they could go back!
This was a huge setback for the reporters who were prepared to write a news report of more than a hundred thousand words. Fortunately, the court proceedings in the morning were strange and interesting enough. As long as they reported in detail, they believed that it would attract the attention of many viewers!
Soon, the trial process was sent to Bill Gates. When Bill Gates saw the report and video of the entire trial process, he was dumbfounded.
After a while, a few senior executives were called over and asked to discuss what the Daqian was up to.
"Hongmeng is very smart. They know how to quibble. They are powerless in front of our evidence. That's why they chose to give up defending themselves and plead guilty directly, trying to use a good attitude to plead guilty in exchange for relief from public opinion! "The PR manager sighed.
"How preposterous! Do we really have no way to deal with them just because they've confessed? How could they plead guilty!? " Bill Gates asked angrily, "Do you have any way to stop them from pleading guilty?"
"…" The executives were speechless. Their goal was to force the other party to plead guilty. Now that the other party had pleaded guilty, they were trying to force them not to plead guilty. What kind of plot was this?
"Chairman, I'm afraid it's too late. The court will announce the verdict in the afternoon. It's too late for us to do anything!" one of the executives said.
"Yeah, but Chairman, don't be angry. We've won all the way this time!" The PR manager said, "Hongmeng admitted their guilt so easily because they were forced into a corner by our attacks. Otherwise, they would have tried all kinds of sophistry!"
"This means that we've done our job perfectly. They can't even find a chance to retaliate. We've won the battle!"
"Most importantly, since Hongmeng has admitted their guilt, it's not impossible for us to ask the court to ban the Hongmeng system. If we succeed, we'll be able to get rid of the Hongmeng system!"
"Is that so?" Bill Gates's expression suddenly looked better. The executives heaved a sigh of relief and left Bill Gates's office.
"Da Qian's people are too powerful!" The manager of the public relations department whispered after leaving the office.
In fact, he personally admired and admired Da Qian's decisive action because this was the wisest decision at the moment. Quibbling wouldn't have any effect. Instead, it would arouse the disgust of the judge and most importantly, the jury.
It was better to plead guilty so that the jury would have a good impression of them. After all, the final verdict would be decided by the jury. As long as they had a good impression of the Daqian, the verdict would not be too severe.
"The Daqian people are so cruel to themselves!" the PR manager exclaimed.
This method sounded very simple and easy. All they had to do was plead guilty.
However, this was actually the most difficult thing to do. After all, not everyone could plead guilty so easily, especially for big companies.
Although they had pleaded guilty, it's impossible for them to admit their mistakes. After all, money is no longer important. What's important is the company's reputation. These companies will never admit their mistakes.
Take Microsoft as an example.
If the same thing happened to Microsoft, and the PR manager suggested Bill Gates to send someone to plead guilty, he would be scolded by Bill Gates.
How can Microsoft be in the wrong? It must be the world's fault. It's the world's idiotic consumers who are not willing to be the leeks.
No matter what Microsoft's headquarters did, time passed quickly. The court session started in the afternoon, and everyone returned to the court to wait for the judge to announce the final verdict.
This time, Microsoft had sued Hongmeng for a total of 13 crimes. No one knows how many crimes the court will convict them of!
