A beautiful blonde woman with a microphone appeared in the camera: "Hello everyone, I'm Susan from Northeast TV, behind me is the South Brighton District Court, I am now reporting a very incredible news for you at the door of the court, just now, someone submitted a lawsuit to the court, requesting to sue 45 investment companies including Caribbean Investment Company, Louis Investment Company, St. Martin Investment Company and New Dawn Investment Company!"

"I believe that the names of these companies are familiar to everyone, because they are very famous investment companies in Brighton, and if you pool the funds at the disposal of these companies, I believe that a second Brighton bank can be created!"

"But these big companies with terrifying energy, they were actually sued in court at the same time, which can't help but make people wonder, what happened behind the lawsuit, and who did such a thing?"

Suddenly there was a commotion from behind Susan, many reporters flocked to the door of the courthouse, Susan saw this situation and hurriedly ran to the door of the court with the camera, and crowded to the door in a group of reporters, only to see a few people walking towards the door, in the camera, you can clearly see a familiar figure, that is Councilor Brooke, the largest investor in Brooke Investment Company.

However, Brooke did not intend to face the reporter today, but a middle-aged man with little hair stepped forward and said: "Hello reporters and friends, I am lawyer Allen, and my client is inconvenient to be interviewed today due to physical discomfort, but I am solely responsible for this case, so if you have any questions, I can answer them on your behalf." ”

With lawyer Allen's words, all the reporters were immediately disappointed, but fortunately, there was still a lawyer Allen here, so everyone had to focus on him.

"Lawyer Allen, are you coming to court today to sue 45 investment firms, including the Caribbean Investment Corporation? Why are you doing this, is it because they have offended you in some way? I heard that your client is Brooke Investments, right? Are you suing because they refused any kind of assistance on the verge of bankruptcy? And what kind of demands are you making in this lawsuit? Are you demanding that these 45 companies bear common damages? So with so many companies, what is the amount of compensation......"

In the face of many questions from reporters, Allen pressed down with both hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said, "There are so many questions, please allow me to answer them one by one." ”

"First of all, although I don't know where you got the news, but your news is correct, my client is Brooke Investments, and I have come to court today to sue those forty-five investment companies, the forty-five most famous financial companies in Brighton, on behalf of my client. ”

Speaking of this, Alan paused for a moment before saying, "As for offending...... If you're offending that they didn't help Brooke when it was in bankruptcy, then that's not true, because that doesn't justify a lawsuit, and the courts won't accept it, and the reason we're really filing today's lawsuit is because of something else. ”

"What is it that makes you desperate to sue these forty-five large companies?" all the reporters asked in unison.

"Undoubtedly, of course, they violated the law and the spirit of business!"

Allen threw out this answer loudly, and then explained: "CDS contracts, credit default swap contracts, I think many people know what this is, right? These 45 investment companies have all traded this kind of contract to a greater or lesser extent, and in the course of these transactions, my client believes that these companies have very serious commercial fraud, so we have to go to court!"

Allen's tone was very serious, and even a little angry, after speaking, he calmed down his mood before saying: "In the end, my client first of all asks these companies to apologize for their commercial fraud, and make a certain amount of compensation for this, the specific amount of compensation is 100 billion US dollars, and require these forty-five investment companies to bear the responsibility according to their respective fraud proportions." ”

Hearing the huge number of 100 billion, all the reporters burst out in incredible exclamations, and they all looked at Alan in amazement, as if they all thought that he had said the wrong number.

But Allen still stretched out a finger and repeated: "I am not wrong, you are not wrong, in this lawsuit, my client is proposing 100 billion dollars in compensation." ”

"But if I'm not mistaken, the assets of our richest man in the world are only 10 billion US dollars, but now your client is asking for 100 billion US dollars in compensation, aren't you the richest man in the world in a lawsuit?

A reporter asked, and other reporters also chimed in: "That's right, this amount of compensation is simply outrageous, could it be that someone came up with his feet?"

Allen did not answer this positively, but smiled and asked rhetorically: "You are all journalists, so there is a very classic case, that is, a husband suffered from lung cancer due to smoking, and the wife sued the tobacco company in court, claiming 20 billion yuan, how can this be calculated? According to the journalists, gentlemen and ladies, isn't this verdict directly sentenced to a richest man in the world?"

"And in reality, our lawsuit is a kind of corporate class action, even if we win the lawsuit in the end, the compensation will be collectively owned by the company, that is, every investor of the company, not for a certain person, so everyone can rest assured. ”

Allen finally said: "However, compared with this 100 billion compensation, my client believes that this is a kind of punitive damages, and the purpose is not purely for money, but in the hope that this huge amount of compensation will make those companies understand their mistakes and correct them, so as to ensure that such mistakes will not happen again in the future, and finally achieve a virtuous circle of business spirit." After all, many things cannot be constrained by morality, and they need the deterrence of the law!"

With Allen's words, the scene resounded with enthusiastic cheers......

With a click, a remote control was slammed into the table and shattered in half, accompanied by a curse.

"These damn miscellaneous pieces, the scum abandoned by God, all give me to die! What 100 billion claims? Thanks to what he can say, and Brooke, the bastard, he actually really betrayed me, and followed that Chinese to make trouble for me, they are all a bunch of shit, I must kill him! I know that Brooke is still the chairman of the company, without his nod, this lawsuit will not be established at all!"

With a roar, a glass was smashed on the table and shattered, echoing the remote control, as if the two brothers were crying in their hearts to each other.

"What's the matter, sir? I heard a terrible sound outside the door, what made you so angry?"

Suddenly, the door to the room opened, and a middle-aged man hurriedly walked in, he couldn't help but be very surprised to see the situation on the table, and seeing this news so angry, there would be no one else but Christo, the patriarch of the Addams family.

Christo glanced up, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the TV and said: "My butler, I ask you to open your eyes first to see what kind of news this is, that Chinese actually sued 45 investment companies such as Caribbean Investment Company, Louis Investment Company, San Martin Investment Company and New Dawn Investment Company, and claimed 100 billion yuan from these companies, what do you say he is going to do?"

The housekeeper didn't rush to say anything, but first turned his head and stared at the TV for a while before saying: "Sir, it's just a lawyer, I don't think his words are very convincing, even if there is, I don't think the court will support him for this 100 billion claim, it's too unreasonable." ”

Faced with the butler's answer, Christo suddenly lowered his head and laughed, he didn't rush to say anything, but first stood up and went to the window to open the curtains fiercely before he sighed: "My old man, do you think this lawsuit is really just a lawsuit?" If this 100 billion dollar claim alone is not necessary for me to come forward, I think the lawyer group hired by the 45 investment companies alone will be enough to deal with it, appeal all the way from the district court to the Supreme Court, and bring any piece of evidence to the court to refute it bit by bit, and this lawsuit will not be concluded in three to five years. ”

Christo stopped abruptly at this point, and after a long moment continued, "But what I'm really worried about is something else behind the lawsuit. ”

"If it's not a lawsuit, what else can it be?" asked the butler, confused.

Christo smiled bitterly at the butler's rhetorical question, and he turned back to the butler and said, "My old fellow, since twenty years ago, I have known that sometimes you are too smart, and sometimes you are not smart enough. ”

"You say if it's you, and one day your boss comes to you with a great project and kicks you out of the company if you do it wrong and fails, will you just do it honestly, or will you find a way to do it better and do it yourself, and then become your own boss and kill the old boss?" asked Christo.

The butler didn't answer, because he knew that Christo already had an answer.

Sure enough, then Christo said: "Ambition is the devil that exists in everyone's heart, and that Chinese is the devil of the devil!"

"So, maybe it's only the forty-five investment companies that are being accused now, but I believe he must have come at me in the end!" Christo said with great confidence, but he never imagined that Zhou Ming, who had returned to the car at this moment, gave a different answer.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Mr. Christo in Adams Castle must be watching this news now, and he will definitely think that my lawsuit today is against him, but I can only say that he is thinking too much, because if it is just him, I don't care about it, what I really want to target is only Brighton Bank, just the Adams family, which has been inherited for more than 300 years, that's all. Zhou Ming said.

Lawyer Alan and Brooke sat next to Zhou Ming, although they were used to Zhou Ming's amazing words, they were still surprised to hear it this time.

"I think if Christo had heard, he would have smashed something, even though it was so uncultured. Brooke guessed.

Zhou Ming shrugged his shoulders and said, "I think maybe it's because of my lack of cultivation......

Zhou Ming wanted to say something, but at this time his mobile phone suddenly rang, he immediately picked it up and connected, it was a call from Lin Muqing, he thought that Lin Muqing was going to ask about going to the court to apply for a lawsuit today, but he didn't expect to hear another news that he didn't expect.

"Zhou Ming is not good, I just received a call from China!" Lin Muqing said anxiously.
