Chapter 348: Out-of-Court Settlement

"Then, let's talk about whether it's worth the compensatory or not. Attorney Union motioned, and his assistant, Attorney Ron, took a document and handed it to the judge.

"This is an offer from Harvard, Stanford, and Berkeley, and they all accepted my client and were willing to offer me a full scholarship. "It's proof enough that my client is very good, and he can get admission letters from Harvard, Stanford, and Berkeley before he is 15 years old." He can choose any of the three top universities in the world to go to school and continue his studies. ”

"Your Excellency, this is not enough to prove that the plaintiff is justified in demanding such a large amount of damages!" the Portland Police Department's attorney immediately argued.

"Your Excellency, this is the current world ranking of the world's top universities in China, as well as the comparison of the list of schools such as Harvard and my client's school that has won the Nobel Prize! We can easily find that none of the Tsinghua University where my client studied has won the Nobel Prize. "In Huaxia, my client is the top student in the college entrance examination with a super perfect score, and at the same time he is a genius student at the Conservatory of Music, in Huaxia, he is already the most outstanding student, and he has not been able to get a better platform to improve himself." ”

The judge carefully contrasted and nodded.

"As for why the $5 million award is being proposed, it's because that's all there is to the Nobel Prize!" said Mr. Unien.

"Your Excellency, last year's Nobel laureate was only $1 million at most. He is asking for $5 million, which is too much!" The lawyer representing the Portland police was anxious, "Moreover, even if he came to the United States to study, he might not be able to win the Nobel Prize! ”

"Your Excellency, with regard to the calculation of the bonus, this is how I calculated. The prize money of the Nobel Prize has been rising again and again, and my client is still young, and he will definitely not win the Nobel Prize now, but in the future, he can get it. At least there is great hope, as far as his brilliant mind is concerned, it is very promising to obtain. I calculated that the prize money of the Nobel Prize in 20 years from now would be about $5 million! And if the defense lawyer said, it is true that you may not be able to get it if you come to the United States, but if you don't come, you will definitely not be able to get it!" Union looked serious, "This is like Schrödinger's cat, if you don't come, how do you know if you can't get it." ”

"But he can come at any time. My client did not cause him any harm. The defense lawyer pleaded.

"No, he's already refused. He rejected all of these offers. I decided to consider whether to study in the United States when I became an adult. And when he reaches adulthood, he will delay the most precious three years of his life. In these three years, perhaps a genius scientist will be born and will change the world. In this way, $5,000,000 is just a small number!Because of your actions, you have delayed the most precious three years of a scientist who could change the world!" Union said with a serious face, "So, Your Excellency, I hope you can pronounce the sentence from this perspective. ”

"Ridiculous! This is simply ridiculous! No one can guarantee that they will change the world!" the defense lawyer almost roared.

"I'm just talking about possibilities. I think the possibility of my case is greater than that of ordinary people, and I think this is something that no one can deny. Union said calmly.

The defense lawyer was about to argue, when the judge struck the gavel.

"You two come here!" the judge summoned the two lawyers.

"As for this matter, I suggest that you settle out of court. The judge said, "So much compensation, I think, must be a lot of money for the Portland Police Department." I suggest an out-of-court settlement, otherwise once the verdict is pronounced, I will have to make the matter public, and it will affect the reputation of the Portland Police Department and the City of Portland. And for your client, it will also give people a suspicion of blackmail. So, I suggest that you reconcile. However, this money is a little less. I propose, $3 million! No more!"

Attorney Union smiled slightly.

This kind of lawsuit will certainly not be pronounced and will not be fought. What he wants is an out-of-court settlement. If you really want to fight, the final result may not be satisfactory. The judge has the right to amend the compensation. If the verdict is to be pronounced, perhaps $1 million is the highest price.

If the sentence is not pronounced, then 3 million dollars, he accepts.

"$3 million is still too high. The defense lawyer was a little annoyed.

"With this number, don't make a big deal out of it, I don't want this to end up being an international incident. Don't forget, he is a genius prodigy from China. The judge warned.

"In particular, the economy of Portland is not well developed, and I don't want this lawsuit to affect future international students to study in Portland, and also affect Chinese investment. The judge warned again.

As a judge, sentencing is based on many considerations. Because his verdict directly affects the verdict of other cases later, and it will also affect the status of a city. So, he had to be cautious.

In this regard, he must be more inclined to Qin Feng.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that Qin Feng's origin is too big, with so much evidence, and there is no shortage of money. This kind of person, he will naturally give him a little sweetness.

"I'll discuss it with my client!" the defense lawyer had no choice but to go back and talk to the Portland police.

After a long discussion, there was a result.

"My client agreed to settle out of court!" said the defense lawyer helplessly.

"Your Excellency, my client agrees to settle as well!" said Attorney Union smiled.

If he opens three or seven, he takes seventy percent, which is a gain of 900,000 US dollars. In this lawsuit, his total investment was only tens of thousands of dollars, which was calculated by his own expensive labor, but the harvest was $900,000.

It's a big reward.

"Thank you, Union!" Qin Feng was also satisfied.

In the end, he could get $2.1 million in compensation. I came to the United States, I didn't spend a penny, and I made a lot of money, how is this not cost-effective?

"Congratulations, Mr. Qin!" said Ron's assistant counsel.

"Thank you for your help these days, Ron. Union, he's good. I think he has a very promising future!" Qin Feng naturally did not forget to praise Ron, who accompanied him to the exam.

"Well, after this time, I decided to hand over the law firm to him, and I was just an investor and no longer involved in the day-to-day management of the law firm. Union said.

"Ah, why?" Qin Feng was stunned.

"I'm 50 years old this year, and with this money, I can retire and enjoy my life. And with the fame of this lawsuit, I'm sure Ron can do better. That way, as an investor, I earn a little less, but it's easier. Union explained with a smile.

Qin Feng was stunned.

"Then congratulations on your happy retirement!" Qin Feng smiled.

"Of course, congratulations Ron, you now have your own law firm!" Qin Feng said with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Qin, please take care of me in the future!" Ron smiled and nodded.
