Chapter XVII
At 7:30 in the morning, Gao Shan Xing arrived at the hotel on time, Cao Yun chatted politely with Gao Shan Xing as if nothing had happened, had a buffet breakfast in the hotel restaurant, and finally took Gao Shan Xing's car to Cao Yun's residence.
Cao Yun's residence is a two-story villa on the outskirts of the city, and due to the fact that Dongtang is located in Tokyo and earthquakes are frequent, there are few high-rise buildings in Dongtang except for the commercial district. This kind of villa belongs to the family housing purchased by a normal company executive with a loan of 30 years, and this area is also called the Dongtang white-collar district. (Can brain supplement crayons small new house to live.) )
The streets are neat and clean, with clear lines for motorized and non-motorized vehicles, and although the streets are relatively narrow, they are quiet, and cars and pedestrians go their own way in an orderly manner. Occasionally, there is a vehicle U-turn and a temporary traffic jam for a while, there is no stopper, no horn, everyone waits quietly and patiently.
The car drove directly into the villa, which was not luxurious, it was an ordinary residential house. There is no grassland, because there must be mosquitoes in the grassland, and the grassland must be built regularly, which is not available to residents who are white-collar office workers.
After all, the whole villa covers an area of only 145 square meters, the kitchen and dining room are separated by a door, plus a bathroom, this is the whole picture of the first floor. On the second floor, there are three rooms, a study, a master bedroom and a secondary bedroom, plus a small balcony of more than ten square meters, where you can dry your clothes.
After the visit, the two returned to the living room, Gao Shan Xing was not very familiar with this house, it was easy to find tea sets and tea leaves, and Cao Yun helped boil water.
Gao Shan Xing naturally asked: "Are you still satisfied with your residence?"
"Nice place. ”
Gao Shan Xing explained: "This house was bought by your boss Uncle Lu Qunlu when he came to Dongtang five years ago to travel. ”
"Oh, he's got an industry here and there. Cao Yun poured tea for Gao Shan Xing: "Can we talk about the topic now?" ”
"Talking about the topic?" Gao Shan Xing was stunned, what is the main topic?
Cao Yun said: "We now have two ways to go, the first way, put down the shelf of the lawyer's office, starting from the route of the market and the people, everyone will more or less encounter some things that need the help of lawyers in life, most people choose to forbear because they are afraid of trouble, or money, time and other reasons." We can use these people as potential customers for us. For example, if I was bitten by a neighbor's dog, normally the neighbor would pay for the medical bills, or maybe give some compensation for nutrition expenses or something. But according to the law, because rabies has an incubation period of up to 20 years, I can ask my neighbors to pay me a lot of money. The former is only a few hundred, and the latter may be tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands. In addition, there are layoffs by the company, whether there are discriminatory layoffs? Assuming that the company cannot accurately explain the necessity of the cut, the cut-off target can obtain compensation through litigation. ”
Cao Yun: "Through one to two years of hard work, and then through news media reports, Gaoshan Law Firm can slowly emerge, and we will also recruit some trainee lawyers to join the law firm, and slowly expand the scale and reputation of the law firm." ”
Gao Shan Xing asked: "What about the second way?"
Cao Yun said: "Give it a fight, find a lawsuit that you will lose, find a lawsuit that attracts thousands of people, we will overturn the lawsuit, and we will naturally have fame and reputation." The advantage of the second way is obvious, fast, and can turn the law firm over overnight. The downside is that there are very few such cases, and even if they do, the likelihood of a turnaround is very low. ”
Gao Shan Xing thought for a while: "It seems that there is no such case in my impression. ”
"It's probably that you don't know the journalist. I'll give you an analogy if someone falls on the road, and that shouldn't be the news, it's not a big deal. But if everyone doesn't wrestle today, and there's no more eye-catching news than wrestling, then this person wrestling on the road would be the biggest news of the day. The law, especially criminal cases, has a group of loyal fans, and because of the fans, journalists naturally exist. If there is no case to report within three days, it doesn't matter, you can copy the old case, make an interview with the victim's family, and find out from the judicial department for understanding. ”
Cao Yun said: "But if there is no news that attracts the attention of fans within 30 days, it is the reporter's fault." At this time, the reporter will inevitably hype up a case and try to make everyone focus on this case. Let me give another analogy, there is a famous singer in the entertainment industry who got married, which could have made the reporter hype for ten days and half a month. But I never expected that an actor of the same level was arrested at the same time. In this way, the singer naturally took a back seat, and the 10,000 words of news that the singer was supposed to get ended up with only 1,000 words left. ”
Cao Yun saw that Gao Shanxing still didn't quite understand, and continued: "People often say that dogs bite people is not news, people bite dogs is news. But now that it's only dogs biting people, and no one bites dogs, are journalists going to be laid off? No, reporters are going to dig up dog-biting news. For example, if a precious dog bites a sanitation worker, or a guardian dog bites a thief, the news will highlight the contradictions and attract the attention of readers, and the contradictions they find can resonate with readers. The former can stir up hatred of the rich, and the latter can make everyone discuss the protection of people by the law. Another example is that a valuable dog bites a sanitation worker, and the dog owner sincerely apologizes and compensates for all losses, which is not interesting, this news is not interesting. If you can ignore the follow-up part and introduce the net worth and status of the dog owner, it will make the conflict more intense......"
As if what he said was too complicated, Cao Yun paused for many seconds and said, "I'm not familiar with Dongtang, give me some time to understand, I think I may be able to find a similar case." However, although this kind of case that can become famous in a fight is not rare, it has almost no chance of winning. We are looking for cases that can become famous in one fight and at the same time have a certain chance of winning. ”
Gao Shan finally understood this time: "We need to wait for an opportunity." ”
"Yes. Cao Yun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "While waiting, what to do or what to do." ”
Gao Shan Xing thought for a while and asked, "Lawyer Cao......"
"Just call me Cao Yun. ”
"Cao Yun, what do you want to get?"
This question expresses that although Gao Shan Xing is not a qualified lawyer, she is not stupid. Cao Yun smiled, poured tea, and said after a long time: "Gaoshan Law Firm has been defeated, and in this case, I have the courage to take risks." If I had built up a good network and circle in High Rock City, I wouldn't have had the courage to take the risk of a high-profile losing lawsuit because it could cost me everything. ”
Gao Shan Xing nodded approvingly: "You are very honest." ”
Cao Yun smiled: "In addition to being honest, I have many advantages. ”
"But it doesn't seem to be modest enough. ”
"Haha. The two laughed at each other, and Cao Yun stretched out his hand to shake hands with Gao Shan Xing: "Happy cooperation." ”
Gao Shan also responded with a smile: "Happy cooperation." ”
This is the first conversation between the two in the real sense, no matter what the process is, at least the two have established a tacit understanding of their work attitude. Of course, it can be seen from the fact that they don't talk about any personal matters, the relationship between the two is still very rusty, and at the same time, they have no intention or interest to get to know each other better.
