Of course Lao Zhang was excited. According to his temper, after he was really thrown into trouble, this guy might really die to prove his innocence. £€f, Although this kind of thing of dying to prove one's innocence sounds very old-school in the new millennium, as if it is already pedantic and seems to be something that can only be done by people before the reform and opening up. But the problem is that this old Zhang is not young to begin with, he is not a new-school person to begin with! This old fellow came to the mainland to open a factory in the early 1990s. How old can such a person be? He himself started working hard in Hong Kong in the 1960s. Now he can be considered old. How can he still be old-fashioned? Moreover, Lao Zhang usually dresses up in a "hard-core" way. He doesn't pay attention to clothes at all. He looks like a township entrepreneur in a mountain village. Such a person can be said to be a bit out of tune with today's era. Really People who have come out of martial arts novels actually say that when Mr. Jin Yong wrote martial arts novels, it was actually when Lao Zhang was just starting to work hard in society at a young age. Therefore, such an old chapter shows something like the character of a character in a martial arts novel, which is actually right!
"Mr. Jia, except for the compensation for the lawyer, I don't need anything else. I'll give it all to you. I don't have anything else to use to thank you, it's just this money" Lao Zhang Said very gratefully. After hearing this, Jia Hongjian took a closer look at Lao Zhang's eyes and found that the man's eyes were very sincere. It didn't look like he was just being polite, but he seemed to be really generous. In fact, for this old Zhang, he was not prepared to ask for money from Mattel or anything from the beginning! He just wanted to prove his innocence from the beginning! After all, if you really talk about it, if you have a clean record, your factory can still accept orders from other companies, but if you don't even have a clean record, you really can't even think about working in this industry in the future!
If it weren't for Jia Hongjian, it can be said that he would have no chance of turning around. Without Jia Hongjian, he wouldn't even have the ability to go to the United States to form such a huge team of luxury lawyers. After all, in order to win such a lawsuit, it's not Just hire the top ten law firms in the United States and that's it. We also need to directly hire the top 100 law firms in the United States in the early stage to occupy the manhole! For a law firm. Maybe we can also talk about how to use the remuneration from the successful case to be divided into legal fees, but for a hundred law firms? If we really talk about sharing, no matter how much money we lose, it won¡¯t be enough! For example, if a lawyer takes a cut of the percentage as legal fees afterward, then 30% or even 50% should be used as legal fees, right? How many points is this enough for?
And to hire one of the top 100 law firms in the United States at once, to be honest, the more than 10 million US dollars that Lao Zhang and his family have is really not enough! Not to mention the top ten law firms. It's the law firms from the 11th to the 100th. Just letting them serve as legal consultants will make a lot of money. Different from the top ten direct employment, the following 90 law firms directly hire Time counts, so the money paid to a firm is relatively small. And if you think about it this way. Even based on the average price of five hundred dollars per hour, the money is calculated from the moment the case is accepted. And this calculation of money does not mean that time is only given to litigation lawyers when going to court and consulting, but also the time spent by the law firm, lawyers and paralegals on the case during the entire case process, including back-end preparations, investigations, etc. That all has to be timed! Even if you have a small problem temporarily and call a lawyer or even send an email to ask the paralegal, the time it takes for the person to answer the phone and reply to the email must be timed!
Although in reality, there is really no need for these 90 law firms to help, but what do American lawyers do? They are basically the kind of people who guarantee harvests despite droughts and floods. They are just playing with the law, and will they still make losses for themselves? Therefore, under normal circumstances, lawyers who charge based on time will require clients to pay a deposit in advance. And this deposit is quite a lot of money. At the same time, if the case progresses rapidly and the case is solved before the corresponding time of the deposit has passed, then there is no way to refund the excess deposit. American lawyers will not refund more than they want. repair! The harvest is guaranteed despite droughts and floods! Under such a situation, the amount of money paid to the last ninety law firms out of one hundred law firms in the United States is really a lot!
So, in fact, Lao Zhang¡¯s family is just trying to sell iron, which is still far from hiring these lawyers. If he doesn¡¯t thank Jia Hongjian, who else should he thank? And besides, if it were not for Jia Hongjian, even if he was determined to come to the United States to litigate, he would not be familiar with the situation in the United States. The most he can do is find and hire one law firm, and if this law firm is not among the top ten in the United States, how can he compete with Mattel? Mattel is giving in so easily now. It¡¯s not just that a lot of information has been released here. Of course, people will find out that Lao Zhang and the others have hired all the top 100 law firms in the United States. They will find that they are facing a super luxurious all-star lawyer team.Under such a situation, people rationally considered the various costs they might pay on legal matters, as well as the trouble that the super-luxurious all-star lawyer team would bring to them. Only then did he choose to admit defeat! And if Lao Zhang and the others choose a law firm that is not ranked very high and want to fight, then maybe Mattel will form an all-star lawyer team and then fight all the shit here! After all, many times when litigating in the United States, the whole point is to see who can pay more!
¡°Maybe it¡¯s like a criminal case, you may have to face some ironclad evidence. No matter how much money you spend, it¡¯s not easy to make a dead horse alive, but in the civil field? That really leaves a lot of room for improvement! Not to mention anything else, even if it is an IOU written in black and white in the Chinese civil field, there are still many ways to avoid it! For example, if a boss is obviously rich, but the IOU he wrote to someone else is about to expire and he needs to pay back the money, he can make a false loan contract at any time. To put it bluntly, it means to find a new creditor, and then let this "creditor" "Sue the boss and let the court enforce the transfer of the boss's money to the "creditor". And such a "creditor" may be a very good friend of the boss. Then after the court enforced it, the boss said that he was bankrupt and had no money to pay back. Then the person who was supposed to get the funds back according to the IOU also got it. You can¡¯t even get much money!
So if Mattel really finds out that the lawyers here are not very powerful, then there are really many ways to play it! It¡¯s really fun to play here and I¡¯m so excited! In such a situation, Jia Hongjian helped Lao Zhang and the others point out a clear way out, and also gave Lao Zhang the advantage to directly reconcile with Mattel. It can be said that without Jia Hongjian's help, none of this would have happened. ah!
"Let's talk about it later, you deserve the money, I just helped a little." Who knew Jia Hongjian would answer like this, Lao Zhang was really surprised. What he doesn't know is that Jia Hongjian is actually just being polite at this time, just like visiting someone else's house. When it's meal time, other people's family members stay with us for dinner, and we always have to be polite and say that we have something to do and leave immediately. Something like that? Otherwise, what if someone asks us to stay for dinner just to be polite? We Chinese people often do a lot of false politeness in order to give others face! Obviously you don't want to keep the other person for dinner, but in order to appear hospitable and popular, you have to put on a showy appearance to persuade the other person to stay. In turn, the other party is polite, saying that there is something else, or that they have invited someone out for dinner. If the host quickly withdraws the invitation, then it is really just a fake politeness. If the host really wants to invite someone to come over for dinner, he or she will have to try hard to persuade the person to stay. Even though the other party has been saying for a while that they have something else to do or they have a date outside, the host still has to strongly try to persuade the person to stay. We came down to eat. After coming here several times, the guest seemed to be unable to refuse the hospitality. This proved that the guest's previous remarks about having something to do or making an appointment were just to be polite.
So Jia Hongjian also had to confirm whether Lao Zhang was being polite. Although he looked at Lao Zhang very sincerely, this was after all hundreds of millions of dollars! To him, Jia Hongjian, hundreds of millions of dollars may not be a lot of money, but to Lao Zhang it is different! Lao Zhang, a swindler, only managed to scrape together around ten million US dollars, and he might suddenly receive up to US$500 million in compensation. How could he not be tempted? To put it bluntly, what if they offend Jia Hongjian for this money? Although it is said that being with Jia Hongjian can lead to prosperity in the future, but what if people don¡¯t want to be prosperous? People are thinking that after the $500 million is accounted for, the factory will be sold, and then the whole family will immigrate to Canada or something, so that the grandchildren will have no worries about food and drink! No matter how capable Jia Hongjian was, could he still go to Canada to find a reason to throw his family in jail? This is impossible!
Therefore, facing this situation, Jia Hongjian must test people's hearts! Although people who really want the money may not come to be polite to Jia Hongjian at all, but what if there is someone with superb acting skills? What if this old Zhang is deeply dissatisfied and thinks that Jia Hongjian's family is so big that he may not value this money, and then wants to be polite and show that he is a very upright man, and can legitimately earn 500 million U.S. dollars later? What's under the account? People's hearts are too complicated, Jia Hongjian must consider various situations! (To be continued.)
