Chapter 115: Coincidence?
Yang Li's law firm is very well-known in Suicheng, and the scale is also very large, and there are highly capable practicing lawyers in both criminal and civil areas.
Fang Tianyu's previous incident with Ren Fei is well known throughout the country, and this kind of case with great social impact and can attract major attention is a rare opportunity for lawyers. Therefore, when Ren Fei said that he wanted to pursue Fang Tianyu's legal responsibility, many lawyers found him and said that they could help deal with it, and some lawyers did not even ask for remuneration.
Eye-catching cases, whether they win or lose, can make them quickly open up their popularity in the industry, and if they can win, they can gild their practice career.
Yang Li also got this opportunity thanks to Huang Jinshu's relationship.
After Fang Tianwu announced through his blog that he had sent a lawyer's letter to Ren Fei, I don't know how many people in the industry are interested in Yang Li and his firm.
Yang Li himself is one of the ace lawyers in his law firm, with strong professionalism, and is also very familiar with the relevant legal process, and has experience in handling lawsuits for wealthy people, and has considerable ability to figure out the psychology and needs of clients.
He knew very well how much reputation Fang Tianyu's recovery of compensation could bring to himself and even the law firm behind him, so he attached great importance to Fang Tianyu.
Therefore, before meeting with the opposing party's lawyer, Yang Li first had to understand Fang Tianyu's needs.
Just as Fang Tianwu was about to speak, the receptionist of Tiancheng Culture knocked on the door and said that Ren Fei's lawyer had arrived.
Fang Tianwu smiled at Yang Li, and then said to the receptionist, "Please let them in." ”
Soon, a middle-aged woman wearing glasses and a professional skirt entered, followed by two people who knew at a glance that they were secretaries.
"Mr. Fang Tianxuan, hello. When we first met, I was the lawyer entrusted by Mr. Ren Fei to handle your claim this time, my name is Ren Minyi. The middle-aged woman said.
Fang Tianwu didn't get up and said, "Hello lawyer Ren, this is my lawyer Yang Li." ”
Yang Li nodded to Ren Minyi and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Lawyer Ren, Lawyer Ren, you are a senior in civil and economic cases, I have heard your name for a long time." ”
"Lawyer Yang, you are not bad, one of the aces of 'Zhenghong' Law Firm, you have been in the limelight in the past two years. Ren Minyi smiled reservedly.
Fang Tianwu said: "That's the end of the two of you's self-introduction, Lawyer Ren, you came just in time, just now Lawyer Yang asked me what kind of result I want to get for this matter." It just so happens that you're here, so I'll talk about it. ”
Yang Li's face remained unchanged, and he asked the assistants around him to pay attention to the record.
"Take as much as you can, and make as much impact as you can. Fang Tianwu smiled and said, "To put it simply, it's going to make a big fuss. ”
Yang Li's face changed when he heard this, and he stretched out his hand to stop his assistant from letting her record Fang Tianyu's words.
At the same time, he said to Fang Tianhu: "Mr. Fang, be careful that they brought recording equipment to make your words public." ”
As a lawyer who has practiced law for many years, Yang Li is well aware that many of his peers have the habit of carrying a voice recorder with them, especially when meeting the opposing party. He was afraid that Fang Tianyu's words just now would be recorded by Ren Minyi and them as one of the bargaining chips in the negotiation.
Seeing Fang Tianwu smiling and waving his hand, he said, "It's okay, since Ren Fei dares to ruin my reputation, I have to be prepared to pay the price for it! Even if my words are made public, it doesn't matter, justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, and the public can distinguish right from wrong, so it won't be so easy to be deceived!"
Hearing Fang Tianwu say this, Yang Li was no longer so sensitive, but smiled at Ren Minyi and said, "Lawyer Ren, you also heard what Mr. Fang said." I would like to know, what do you think about our side of the demand?"
Ren Minyi was also made solemn by Fang Tianyu's words just now, she knew that her negotiation might be difficult.
Because Fang Tianwu is right, now that people's hearts are on his side, the image of good and evil between him and Ren Fei is too clear, so it is absolutely impossible to try to put pressure on him through public opinion.
However, she still has to do her best from the perspective of Ren Fei's interests.
I only heard her say: "Mr. Fang's request for compensation of 20 million yuan, Mr. Ren Fei said that it was difficult to accept. Because Mr. Ren Fei admitted that there was indeed a misunderstanding on the part of Mr. Fang, Mr. Ren Fei expressed his willingness to come forward to clarify and make a public apology to Mr. Fang regarding Mr. Fang's plagiarism of Mr. Ren Fei's work, and was also willing to make reasonable economic compensation from Mr. Fang. ”
She accentuated her tone on the word "reasonable", and the subtext was that the compensation of 20 million yuan proposed by Fang Tianwu was extremely unreasonable.
Fang Tianwu listened to her very calmly, and then looked at Yang Li.
Yang Li immediately asked Ren Minyi, "Lawyer Ren, what is the specific amount of reasonable economic compensation you are talking about?"
"A million!" Ren Minyi raised her index finger.
Fang Tianwu just smiled and didn't speak, while Yang Li shook his head and smiled: "Lawyer Ren, what you just said means that the amount of compensation we proposed is unreasonable, is your amount reasonable?"
With Mr. Fang's popularity in China, Ren Fei's slander of him like this is simply treating the law as nothing. A mere 1 million can't make up for Mr. Fang's reputational, spiritual, and economic losses!"
He was originally polite, but suddenly stared at Ren Minyi, and his eyes became extremely sharp: "Two million yuan, plus a public apology! If Ren Fei can't do it, then he can consider replacing you as a civil lawyer." Because defamation is a criminal offense, we will go to the court to apply for criminal prosecution, and when the time comes, Ren Feike will not just lose money and apologize!"
After learning about Fang Tianyu's attitude just now, Yang Li basically figured out the tone he wanted to grasp in this case.
Unforgiving!
Unforgiving!
The reason is that Fang Tianyu's talent is obviously higher than Ren Fei, and the possibility of plagiarizing Ren Fei does not exist at all.
It is inevitable that the general public supports Fang Tianyu, and they basically hate Ren Fei.
Ren Minyi was also calmed by Yang Li's strong attitude, she knew very well that Yang Li was not bluffing, according to Ren Fei's behavior, according to the huge influence of this matter in society, the crime of defamation was definitely enough.
Moreover, when courts adjudicate such cases, they often consider social repercussions as an important consideration.
In this incident, Ren Fei's position was too unfavorable.
Although she is not a professional criminal lawyer, Ren Minyi also knows that once this matter goes to court, Ren Fei will definitely lose!
Seeing that Ren Fei's lawyer was stunned, Fang Tianwu was quite satisfied with Yang Li.
He stood up, patted Yang Li's shoulder and said with a smile: "Lawyer Yang, this matter will be left to you to operate, anyway, my attitude remains the same, if this matter is not explained to the public, the impact on literary and artistic creation and even moral construction will be too bad!"
Hearing Fang Tianyu's words, Ren Minyi's face became even more ugly.
Leaving the lawyers on both sides in the conference room, Fang Tianyu walked out alone, and it happened that Shen Lijun came up to him and said, "Tianyu, just now Southland Airlines called and said that I want to talk to you about the advertising song." ”
"Advertising song?"
Fang Tianwu immediately remembered the song "Years Like a Song" that he had just used to compete with Ren Fei, which was the title of the Music Producers Association in order to keep up with the upcoming completion of Suicheng International Airport.
As one of the largest airlines in China, Nanguo Airlines is also a partner of Suicheng International Airport.
Fang Tianyu originally thought that this topic was just to deal with current affairs, but he didn't think that it would really be used as an advertising song by Suicheng International Airport.
Although not the entire Suicheng International Airport is now interested in this "Song of Time", Nanguo Airlines, as a domestic aviation giant, is not smaller than Suicheng International Airport.
"Lijun, help me make an appointment with them. Fang Tianwu said, suddenly remembered one more thing, and instructed her: "Also, let the people from the market research department help me collect Sun Mudong's information, especially his recent talk with the airline about advertising cooperation!"
Before, because Sun Mudong suddenly jumped out to help Ren Fei, Fang Tianwu paid attention to him.
In my impression, Sun Mudong seems to be negotiating advertising cooperation with an airline recently, and after the promotion of Tianlong Records, this matter has also become a little hot.
Shen Lijun nodded and left, and soon she got in touch with the publicity department of Nanguo Airlines, and the other party was also very positive, saying that she would immediately send someone to Tiancheng Culture to meet Fang Tianyu.
Before the arrival of the people of Nanguo Airlines, the people of the market research department also collected Sun Mudong's recent news in front of Fang Tianyu.
Sun Mudong is indeed talking to an airline about advertising cooperation, and Ludao Airlines wants to invite Sun Mudong to be an advertising spokesperson.
According to outside reports, Sun Mudong's negotiations with Ludao Airlines are going smoothly and are about to enter the signing stage.
Unlike many foreign airlines that invite celebrities to serve as advertising spokespersons, domestic airlines generally only use their own flight attendants or pilots as the target of publicity, and only a few airlines invite some sports stars to advertise.
In the eyes of the people, airlines have always been very tall institutions, and being able to be an advertising spokesperson for such an organization will also put on a high-style halo, so many singers, film and television stars want to help airlines as advertising spokespersons to improve their own image.
It is no wonder that Sun Mudong's invitation to Ludao Airlines will be hyped by Tianlong Records, which is of great help to Sun Mudong's plan to become a superstar.
In the living room while looking at the news materials in his hand while waiting for the people of Southland Airlines, Fang Tianwu asked a market researcher next to him: "This Ludao Airlines seems to be a subsidiary of Southland Airlines, right?"
The employee nodded and explained, "That's right, Southland Airlines has six small and medium-sized airlines, and Heron Island Air is one of the medium-sized airlines. In Egret Island Airlines, Southland Airlines accounts for nearly 60% of the shares and is the controlling shareholder of Egret Island Airlines. ”
Fang Tianwu rubbed his forehead and said to himself, "This can't be some coincidence." ”
