Volume 2 The Heart Moves with the Circumstances and Settles Down Chapter 117 The Hongmen Banquet?
No matter where you are, if you ask someone to do something, you will have the appearance of asking someone to do something, and there is a lot of knowledge in it. Inviting people to dinner is very common, most of the time, inviting people to dinner to talk about things, often after three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, and wait until the atmosphere is in place, before speaking, but today Zhou Ting came to the point, somewhat rude, but this is also the pride of this Zhou family, and it is also Zhou Dashao's insight into human nature. He could see that Zhang Wei didn't like that kind of twists and turns, if he didn't explain things first, he was afraid that Zhang Wei wouldn't have the heart to eat the next meal, so he just thought about it.
Zhang Wei didn't feel inappropriate about Zhou Ting's straightforwardness, he didn't have any friendship, some things were better to say first, and the provinces were uncomfortable with each other, so he agreed: "Mayor Zhou, please speak." ”
"There are no outsiders here, I will say it directly, I invited Mr. Zhang to dinner today for two reasons, the first is to apologize to Mr. Zhang, and the second is to ask Mr. Zhang to do him a favor. I apologized because my younger brother was really narrow-minded, and he had some conflicts with Mr. Zhang in the early end, but through Hu Changping and Brother Hu came forward to make peace, the matter has turned over, but what I didn't expect was that he was bewitched by a foreigner a few days ago, and made some small moves behind his back, which was despicable and annoyed me, so I asked Mr. Zhang to come today first to apologize, hoping that Mr. Zhang could forgive him. Zhou Ting said that his tone was a little homely, and he tapped the table with his fingers, which showed that he was restraining his anger, and then looked at Zhou Zhen and said: "Zhou Zhen, now that Mr. Zhang is here, you can see how to apologize for this." ”
Zhou Zhen hung his head, the masseter muscles on his face bulged from time to time, he looked at his brother with his spare eyes, and then glanced at the people in the room, his mouth was a little unable to open.
When Zhang Wei heard Zhou Ting's words, a possibility immediately appeared in his brain, and he asked, "Mayor Zhou, the small actions you said won't have anything to do with Li Jiayao, right?"
Zhou Ting's face remained unchanged, nodded slowly at Zhang Wei, and said: "Mr. Zhang, in fact, this matter was coaxed by a British-Chinese named James, my younger brother was used as a gunman, I have wasted a lot of effort in order to dig out this British-Chinese in the past few days, but when people see that the momentum is not right, they have long disappeared, at this point, I Zhou Ting will not lie to you, please believe." It is precisely because of this that I specially invited you to come over today to talk about this matter, and there was a misunderstanding between the provinces. ”
Zhang Wei pondered for a moment and said, "Mayor Zhou, I believe what you say, but this matter has caused me a lot of trouble. ”
"I know, so when I knew about this matter, the first time I spent a lot of money to calm down the bad impact of this incident on you, and now except for Li Jiayao, a key person, I have found someone to smooth out all the rumors on the Internet, in order to show you that Zhou Zhen was used in this matter, if our brothers really want to destroy you, I can say responsibly that I will never use this kind of indiscriminate means. Although he was at fault, Zhou Ting still said this sentence with confidence.
"Mayor Zhou means that the seven 'Internet Water Army Commanders' and the self-media big V were all won by you?" Zhang Wei was a little unconvinced, he didn't suspect that the Zhou family did not have such energy, but felt that it was impossible for the Zhou family to make such a big move in order to make him ignore what Zhou Zhen did, and the police forces of the five provinces would take joint action, how much cost would it cost to coordinate to do it.
Zhou Ting looked at Zhang Wei and replied affirmatively without ambiguity: "That's right, my father and I have found a lot of people for this reason, and we owe a lot of favors." ”
"Oh?" Zhang Wei whispered his doubts, he believed that with a smart person like Zhou Ting, Zhou Ting should understand what he was asking.
Sure enough, Zhou Ting said: "Of course, if it is just to let Mr. Zhang not care about my brother being used, we don't have to bother a lot, which involves the second matter today, I want to ask Mr. Zhang for a favor." ”
At this point, Zhang Wei just looked at Zhou Ting quietly, waiting for his next step.
"Tomorrow, Director Li Nanli, deputy director of the Central Veteran Cadres Affairs Bureau, may contact you, and then he should ask you to do something, whether you do it or not has nothing to do with me, you weigh it yourself. What I need your help with is that if Director Zhou or someone asks about Zhou Zhen, please express your unwillingness to pursue it. Zhou Ting said a request that Zhang Wei didn't understand at all.
Zhang Wei said: "Don't worry, I didn't understand what you mean, what is this Director Li looking for me?"
"I'll tell you the truth, although I know a little bit about this, I can't tell you, but from an objective point of view, it should be a good thing for you, and I can't say more. Zhou Ting didn't give Zhang Wei an answer, but emphasized again: "What I hope is that if Director Li or someone else asks about the conflict between you and Zhou Zhen, you can say that the misunderstanding between you has been resolved, and I have no other requirements." ”
"Mayor Zhou, I'm a little confused by your request, if I don't even know what's going on, how can I agree to your request?"
Zhou Ting was about to speak, the door of the box was knocked, the waiter began to serve, and the topic was suspended, and he waited until the waiter left, Zhou Ting said again: "To put it simply, Director Li should also want to trouble you to do something, so he will try his best to meet some of your requirements, and I don't want the contradiction between Zhou Zhen and you to become a means used by Director Li or someone to tie you up." ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Ting made a gesture to He Min on the side, He Min took out a folder from a briefcase, got up and handed it to Zhou Ting with both hands. Zhou Ting took the folder and put it on the table in front of Zhang Wei, and continued: "There is a cash check for 10 million in this folder, which can be regarded as compensation for damaging your reputation. In addition, there is a clothing advertising endorsement contract, the clothing company is a company in which my brother is a shareholder, the main focus is the casual wear of young people, and it is also in line with the advertising endorsement positioning of stars of your age, the contract is three years, 10 million per year, paid off at one time, and the advertisement will be broadcast at the same time on national TV, Modu Satellite TV, Mango Satellite TV and other TV stations, which also has certain benefits for enhancing your popularity. These are all compensation for you.
I know you may not be able to see these things, but this is already our greatest sincerity. If you are not willing to accept it, then let Lawyer Zhang and President Wang answer for you, if you pursue Zhou Zhen's legal responsibility, under the strictest punishment of national laws and regulations, what will you get. ”
After Zhou Ting finished speaking, he made a gesture of invitation to Lawyer Zhang on the side.
Zhang Guohao nodded to Zhou Ting, and then said to Zhang Wei: "Mr. Zhang, first of all, I want to make it clear to you that my following remarks will be from an objective and professional point of view, and will not be mixed with any personal feelings, as for credibility, please judge for yourself." If you go to the court to sue Mr. Zhou Zhen, the only place where you can sue him is that Mr. Zhou Zhen has ruined your 'right to reputation'. In our country, there is no specific charge for 'slandering another person' and 'damaging someone's reputation', and you can only sue him for 'defamation'.
The crime of defamation is legally defined as 'deliberately fabricating and disseminating fictitious facts that are sufficient to degrade the personality of another person and damage the reputation of another person, and the circumstances are serious.' According to Article 246 of the Criminal Law of our country, 'if the perpetrator fabricates facts to slander others, and the circumstances are serious, a case shall be filed.' Please note that the 'seriousness' must be met here before a case can be filed. According to the information I have so far, Mr. Zhou Zhen's 'damage to your reputation' has become an established fact, but whether the circumstances are serious depends on what damage has been caused to you, and you must weigh whether these 'defamatory contents' continue to infringe on your 'reputation', 'personality' and 'dignity'.
Next, let's assume that Mr. Zhou Zhen is guilty of defamation and file a case for investigation. According to Chinese law, the crime of defamation is generally punishable by fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, public surveillance or deprivation of political rights. Considering that Mr. Zhou Zhen tried his best to make up for the adverse impact of this incident on you after this incident, coupled with his social relations, family background and public relations skills, from my professional point of view, the possibility of sentencing is very small.
So I suggest that you settle out of court with him, because even if he is sentenced, according to the actual harm caused to you so far, there is a high probability that he will be suspended or even sentenced to pay a fine, which is the professional advice I give. ”
As soon as Zhang Guohao finished speaking, Wang Xuecheng, vice president of a division of the second court, couldn't wait to speak, "Mr. Zhang, I am good friends with Zhou Ting, and Zhou Zhen is even more like my brother, but my next words can be guaranteed to be objective enough." In terms of law, Mr. Zhang has made it clear enough, so I will tell you about the process. The crime of defamation is a private prosecution case, and you must submit a criminal private prosecution petition to the local court, a copy of the ID card or household registration certificate of both parties, and relevant evidence materials. The court will examine the materials you submit within the prescribed time limit, and I will give you a general description of these materials: the first item is the detailed personal information of your private prosecutor and the defendant; the second item is the time, place, means, circumstances, and harmful consequences of the defendant's criminal act; the third is the litigation request; the fourth item is the name and specific time of the people's court to which it was sent; and the fifth item is the name and source of the witness's personal information and evidence.
We won't talk about the other four, but I can assure you of the second one, you can't tell you clearly, and I don't need to tell you why. If it weren't for Zhou Ting telling you today that Zhou Zhen did this, I'm afraid you still don't know what's going on, let alone how Zhou Zhen implemented it, right?
Okay, let's talk about the principle of compensation for 'defamation', which is a total of five articles, supplementary application, fair application, appropriate limitation, negligence offset, and judge's discretion. If the defendant tries his best to recover the private prosecutor's 'reputation' and 'loss', this can offset part of the negligence. Needless to say, the 'judge's discretion' is that according to what happens between you, the judge will not give a heavy sentence, and this is the same for anyone you ask.
Not to mention that you are deliberately dragging you with supplementary materials, just after these processes, you have done everything in the past six months.
Okay, I've said everything that needs to be said, how to do it yourself and weigh it yourself. ”
