Chapter 1964 Foreign Litigation

This time Huo Shan and Guo Degang went to the UK to litigate a lawsuit. Huo Shan, as the plaintiff, of course had to go, one with relevant evidence and documents, and the other with money.

Of course, as a fellow countryman, Guo Degang must also accompany him, to save people to the end, and to send Buddhas to the West. As a fellow countryman, Guo Degang must also accompany him for such things.

Of course, Ye Ming arranged for the person in charge of the British side of Huihuang.com to find a translator. Otherwise, Huoshan and his gang would be blinded directly, and it would be difficult to get over the language barrier, let alone deal with him.

However, when Guo Degang and Huo Shan met the lawyer, they were basically completely relieved.

Guo Degang was also secretly thinking that his boss was really thoughtful and found a lawyer for them in the UK, and he was a lawyer who could speak Chinese. This fully took care of himself and the Huo family. the language factor.

Lawyer Pedro said very happily: "Guo, actually, in this case, according to our British laws and similar cases in the past, the possibility of you winning is quite high.

As your lawyer, I actually charge the lowest fee. If you lower the price any further, it would be inappropriate. After all, I am here to open up the Chinese market and I am not asking you for any higher fees. "Lawyer fees in foreign countries are so expensive that they are calculated on an hourly basis. This is something Huo Shan and others don't know about."

One hundred and twenty pounds an hour, what's the difference between this and robbing money? At least in Huoshan's eyes, this fee is indeed a bit high.

Guo Degang reacted a little faster and said immediately: "Master Huo, come on, we are charged by the hour. If you have any questions, you should talk to a lawyer quickly. Every minute is money.

With the skill of bargaining, this money is saved. "

Pedro said with a smile; "Actually, this matter is not without any room for redemption. I have read your case. According to the existing evidence chain of your case, unless the middle defendant can If you present new and strong evidence, your side is very likely to win the case.

Therefore, according to British law, the losing party must bear the other party's legal fees. Therefore, you don’t have to worry about the cost. "

After hearing that there was no need to worry about the cost, Huo Shan and Guo Degang breathed a long sigh of relief. If they didn't have to worry about the money, then the rest would be easy.

Guo Degang then said: "The relationship is good. We have the same idea there. Generally, the person who loses the case will bear the other party's expenses. As for whether we can win the case, my boss has already said that according to the current situation, We are basically guaranteed to win.

After all, there is the case of a superstar like Britney Spears as a case reference. "

Pedro said with a smile: "That's right, your boss is very foresight. I was also very curious. Chinese people don't like litigation very much. According to your tradition, people die unjustly without suing.

Am I understanding it correctly? "

This guy did have a certain understanding of China, but Guo Degang would not be so passive and immediately said: "You are wrong, man, aren't we here to litigate?

What you are talking about was in the past. Now when we file a lawsuit and write the complaint ourselves, it is a matter of fifty yuan in filing fees.

Over there, it's the price of one or two packs of better cigarettes. Higher-end cigarettes can set up a good case.

So now we have people over there who are not afraid of lawsuits at all. According to our boss, as long as you are reasonable, you dare to ask for compensation of one billion or two billion. You will definitely win the case anyway, right?

It is the judge's business to decide how much to award, and it is the plaintiff's right to ask for how much compensation. "

Pedro shrugged his shoulders and said with great admiration: "Yes, that's right. That's what I'm going to say next. When I knew that Mr. Ye Ming was behind this matter, I knew that this matter Basically there is no problem.

Ye Ming even dares to directly sue the White House to the court. Almost all lawyers in the West know that this star is a person who likes to litigate.

In Chinese terms, he is the kind of person whose flaws must be reported. Therefore, only people like Ye Ming can solve such a problem.

According to his connections in Hollywood, he knows that Britney Spears left the U.S. alone without pursuing a lawsuit and went to the U.K. to sue, which is completely fine.

Only a visionary like him would think of letting you come to the UK to litigate.

If everyone has the same personality as Ye Ming, I think I will hopefully become a billionaire in my lifetime.

The above is my admiration for your boss. The five minutes are not included in the fee. The time will continue now. Tell us about your case and the Xiangguang evidence. "

Huo Shan and Guo Degang were also prepared and brought various relevant evidence to the lawyer.

Pedro did not read it immediately, but said seriously: "As the lawyer you hired, I have the obligation to remind you whether all the evidence has been backed up.

After all, some things are not easy to grasp. Once there is a lack of evidence, it will be very beneficial if you have a backup.

Anything is possible and every one of my clients gets a reminder from me. "

Evidence preservation is also quite useful. Therefore, regarding such an issue, Pedro immediately reminded Huoshan and the others.

When Pedro got the affirmative answer, he looked at the evidence carefully, and then said: "Okay, I have looked at all these things. According to the existing evidence, you should be the winning party.

Moreover, the Chinese government has officially recognized you as the descendants of the martial artist Mr. Fearless. Therefore, you also have the right to sue the Fearless crew. Another very important point is that at this time, the movie Fearless was also released in the UK.

Therefore, the British court also has certain jurisdiction over this case.

Just wait for the good news of victory. In addition, in order to attract the attention of the media, your compensation for transportation workers and other workers must be doubled. You must know that this is a lawsuit in the UK, and the compensation fee must be in line with the national conditions.

There is also the mental damage fee. Don’t use 500,000 yuan for this, it is too low.

The court usually awards mental compensation based on the actual situation, ranging from one-tenth to one-third of the amount of mental compensation you sue for.

Because spiritual compensation is the most elusive. It's probably five million. This is just a gimmick anyway. By then, it will almost be possible to get at least half a million.

The premise is that the other party does not provide new and strong evidence to prove that it was unintentional. "

Lawyers are professionals. After seeing the evidence, they knew that the case would definitely be won. The related expenses would be borne by the losing party anyway. Therefore, Pedro unceremoniously raised the mental damages fee to 50%. million.

This is actually a way to attract media attention.

In this case, as the first Chinese lawyer to come to the UK to litigate reputational rights, at such a time, he will gain a huge reputation.

At that time, it will actually be very helpful for him to expand the market in China.

You must know that even if Pedro is not a top lawyer in the UK, he is still very famous. Five or six hundred an hour is normal.

One hundred and twenty is close to the price for a newbie, which is Pedro's own bottom line. If it weren't for the reputation issue, Pedro would never have taken this lawsuit.

Huo Shan glanced at Guo Degang, meaning he was asking Guo Degang how to handle this matter.

Guo Degang immediately said: "Master Huo, why are you hesitating? You are the weaker party. If there is no media attention, how can you win the case?

Of course I will increase it, I would say increase it to 8 million, just for good luck. "After hearing this, Huo Shan nodded and increased it to eight million.

Pedro nodded to express receipt, then glanced at Guo Degang with admiration and said: "Dear Guo, I have to say that you are a courageous person, and people like you are the ones who can do big things.

What is that called? A capable minister in governing the world, a hero in troubled times. "

Guo Degang immediately became anxious: "Man, can you speak? That was about the traitorous minister Cao Cao. It was not a word of praise. Did I ask you to praise me?"

Pedro shrugged in understanding. Cao Cao seems to have a bit of a dark reputation in China, and he is a traitorous minister.

When it came to business, Pedro quickly revised his case and directly sued Huo Jianyuan's crew and the relevant British distribution company.

Regardless of the details, lawyers will figure it out professionally. Pedro's fee of 120 per hour also has its own value. At this point, his professional knowledge is beyond doubt.

After coming out, Huo Shancai said with some worry: "Mr. Guo, I just figured out that the eight million we want seems to be pounds. This is equivalent to Chinese currency, which is almost 100 million. Is this matter too big? A little?"

But Guo Degang didn't care at all and said: "You don't care what he does, isn't there Pedro?

He said that it would be good to compensate you one-tenth, which is about more than 10 million. Besides, what you want is fame, the fame of victory. The other party wants to apologize to your Huo family, and it's not for money. All this money will be donated to help Master Huo become famous.

The more the merrier. By the way, remember, after receiving the money, donate it as soon as possible. If our boss thinks that you lied to him, then I don't guarantee what will happen at this time? "

What Guo Degang fears most is that the Huo family will suddenly become greedy for money. If there is really too much compensation, they will simply steal all the money.

In this case, the comparison is inappropriate. After all, when it comes to an issue like this, there are more people who are jealous of money than gentlemen.

Otherwise, why do people say that a gentleman is a good person? In fact, most people hope that others will be gentlemen. If it is their turn, their interests will naturally come first.

In fact, there are not so many decent people in the world.

Enough benefits, even if it is a ghost, let alone a human being? Therefore, regarding an issue like this, what Guo Degang is most afraid of is that the Huo family will do something else.

It is more than ten million. It is difficult for ordinary people to save this kind of money in their lifetime. Even if it is one million, how many ordinary people can save that much money.

Most people actually spend as much as they earn, and if they can have savings, they are people who know how to get by.

Therefore, Guo Degang had to tell Huo Shan at this time to think about it carefully before making a decision.

Huo Shan agreed and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Guo, I know very well what can and cannot be done, and we will not mess this up.

If I keep my word, the reputation of our Huo family in Jinmen will be ruined in the streets. I will not ruin the reputation of the Huo family for money.

At least I can guarantee that is the case for my generation. As for the young people of the next generation, whoever dares to reach out, I will break their legs directly. "

As the talker of the Huo family in Jinmen, Huo Shan is still very confident at this time.

Regarding such an issue, no matter whether it is true or not, as a member of the older generation of martial arts, he values ​​the reputation of his family more than anything else.

In fact, it was also Huo Shan's character who rushed to the car. Therefore, Guo De would have done this just now. If Huo Shan hadn't come forward, he might not have taken care of this matter.

Hearing Huo Shan's assurance, Guo Degang nodded with satisfaction and said, "With your assurance, Mr. Huo, I will feel more at ease.

Our boss, you look young and young, but you are ruthless at heart. Defects must be reported, which is an evaluation of our bosses in the entertainment industry.

Just think about it for yourself, what kind of person is our boss? "In fact, Guo Degang doesn't need to say it. Huo Shan already knows very well what kind of person Ye Ming is.

Because Huo Shan can clearly feel that Ye Ming is a master, a real master, so high that it is difficult for people to compare with him.

He is the kind of real master who has great skills.

Anyway, Huo Shan felt that if Ye Ming dealt with him in such a matter, he would be able to kill him directly without the help of bodyguards.

As a martial arts practitioner, I am actually quite sensitive to this kind of situation. Huo Shan is actually quite clear about what kind of person Ye Ming is.

He himself is secretly wondering what kind of person your boss is, and I guess you may not know that very well either.

It is said that Ye Ming is a Kung Fu star, but a few people can think of it, Ye Ming is actually a Kung Fu master.

At this point, it is enough for Huo Shan to put aside some of his ambitions.

Going against Ye Ming seemed like an act seeking death in Huoshan.
