Chapter 344: No Reconciliation
Qin Feng was in the San Francisco Bay Area and received a call from lawyer Union.
"Qin, they agreed to settle, but they were only willing to pay $50,000!" said Mr. Yunion.
50,000? Isn't it 5 million dollars?
Qin Feng was stunned.
"Because they think that they are just taking you back to the police station for questioning, although they do not follow the rules that you are a minor and need to be accompanied by a guardian or a lawyer, but they do not think that it violates your interests. I don't think it's causing you serious harm. So, they're only willing to pay $50,000!" said Mr. Union.
At the beginning of 1995, $50,000 was not a small amount even in the United States.
Of course, this is too far from what Union asks for.
Lawyer Union offered a price of $5 million, but this was just a lion's mouth, and he was ready to let the other party pay it back. His psychological price is at $300,000. It can't be lower than that. As a result, the other party only offered $50,000.
Although he can pay it back, I'm afraid it would be good to be able to reach $100,000.
In the U.S., in this kind of lawsuit, the police will also send a lawyer to negotiate with them, and the two parties will conduct various consultations and then reach an agreement according to their respective circumstances.
If in the end it is impossible to reach an agreement, then the only way to go to court is to go to court.
"How long will it take if there is a lawsuit? Because I am about to return to China!" Qin Feng asked.
"Qin, your situation is quite special, I can cite the special talent treatment to ask the court to hear it quickly. "The problem now is that if you agree to settle, I can try to raise this compensation to about $100,000." But it couldn't be any higher. If you don't agree to a settlement, then we're going to court. You might get more, or rather, you won't get a penny!"
In a lawsuit, there is no sure victory. Especially in this kind of disputed lawsuit, how the judge finally decides is very sensitive. He just used the damage to the other party's reputation and the promotion of the director as a bargaining chip. But if the other party is not coerced, he can't do anything.
Therefore, he wants to reach an agreement with Qin Feng and see what Qin Feng says.
"Yunion, may I ask what advice you gave me?" Qin Feng asked.
"Qin, if you need money, then take it when you see it. If you don't care about the $100,000, then don't let go, I suggest you go to court. It's an opportunity to make a big difference. If you are willing to fight a lawsuit, I have a suggestion here, and that is that I suggest you take the entrance test of several prestigious schools to prove your talent, and the more genius you are, the more likely you are to win this lawsuit. Union said.
"At the same time, it will also help you in your future studies. At that time, full scholarships from major colleges and universities will be sent. This is beneficial and harmless to you. Because you are a minor and a student, even if you ask for money like this, the judge will not record your behavior in the record, and it will not increase the bad impression of you!" said lawyer Unien.
Sometimes, even if you win this blackmail lawsuit, the judge will have a bad impression of you and it will be written into your personal file. In your profile, or creditworthiness, there will be the judge's comments about you.
This is likely to affect your personal life in the future. Especially if the government is involved in the future, especially in the case of economic disputes, this comment is very unfavorable.
It's like if you apply for a visa, and after being refused for the first time, it will be difficult to apply again.
"Will this lawsuit attract a lot of attention?" Qin Feng asked suddenly.
"Of course. If you pass the entrance test to several universities and the claim is so high, it will definitely attract the attention of the public, especially the news media. Qin, you are from Huaxia. Nowadays, the Chinese are very mysterious in the hearts of Americans. Many Americans are curious about China. You're a window!" said Attorney Union.
"Then please help me arrange it!" Qin Feng smiled slightly, "But you must enjoy yourself, I don't have much time, I have to return to China within a week." ”
"Qin, don't worry, I will immediately help you contact the entrance tests of Harvard, Stanford, and Berkeley, the three top world-famous universities. This is a special type of entrance test for gifted students. As long as you have the talent for it, then they will make special moves on you. Union smiled and said, "Your age is the biggest advantage." ”
If you are 18 years old and you are a genius, then a prestigious school like Harvard will give you a full scholarship and will pay close attention to you. But not enough to cause a stir.
Because you're 18 years old. But Qin Feng is only 15 years old, not yet.
Such an age, if passed, then it is enough to cause a sensation.
Of course, there are also those geniuses who are about 12 years old, and the sensation is even greater. But that kind of genius is often not good at socializing, not good at communicating with people, just simple nerds. This kind of genius, although it will also cause a sensation, but the sensationality is very limited.
People like Qin Feng are good at talking and can deal with all kinds of scenes freely, and they do not belong to the kind of geniuses with high IQ and low EQ, which is what these first-class schools need.
Coupled with Qin Feng's identity as a Chinese, this will cause a sensation even more.
The relationship between China and the United States has gradually warmed up in recent years. If a person like Qin Feng comes out, it will definitely be sought after by the media.
And as Qin Feng's lawyer, once he wins this lawsuit, the money and other shares are nothing. The important thing is that his fame will resound throughout the United States.
Even if he loses, his fame will be known to outsiders. As long as his performance is good, there will be no less follow-up lawsuits.
"What's going on with the lawsuit?" asked Lisa with concern.
"The Portland police were only willing to settle for $50,000, so I refused. It's not a question of money, it's a question of reputation, it's a matter of image. No, because I'm from Huaxia, you can take me away at will, right?" Qin Feng said lightly, "Moreover, this is also an opportunity, if your father is willing to return to Apple, and is willing to buy Apple and go back, then this is an opportunity to promote Apple." Moreover, it was also an opportunity for me to get in touch with prestigious American schools. Qin Feng said with a smile.
In fact, there is another point, Qin Feng did not say it. That's your chance to make a name for yourself. There are so many well-known IT companies in the United States, such as Google, Facebook, YouTube, etc., these companies can invest if they want to?
Even Apple, now I can't buy it from those shareholders. It takes a certain amount of fate, as well as timing. Of course, the most important thing is fame.
This time, it's time to build your own fame.
