339 [Transnational Lawsuits] 2 more
"Good news, this bad guy, all day long, hooking up and matching, getting scared everywhere, he will jump if he doesn't suffer a little!"
Ling Xi pursed her lips and smiled, seeing that Yang Lei was repeatedly questioned and held accountable by the plaintiff team, and the charges thrown out were more serious than the other.
Ling Xi's smile gradually froze.
The more she listened, the more worried she became.
Just like many classmates around him, most of them looked embarrassed and felt that Yang Lei was estimated to lose.
Today's complaint is a simulation of X-Sports' violation of the interests of "Adida" in international trade, involving international investment, trade, and a number of patent infringements.
The plaintiff was too strong.
Red Maple University's law school, which is ranked among the top five in the country and is a top university outside the C9 League, came prepared this time, and the plaintiff team has several foreign law students who are good at economic law and can fully emulate Adidas' position.
On the defendant's side, Fudan University Law School is the main defendant, supplemented by Yang Lei's own patent lawyer.
Probably because the laws of the two countries are different and the consideration is not very thoughtful, Yang Lei's defendant team has a very difficult time coping with it, and it is quite slow to quote scriptures.
The black judge with glasses, suddenly in English and not very fluent Chinese, asked the defendant's lawyer: "Does the defendant's practice of unequal pay for colored employees at the Houston sales company or factory violate the rights granted by the Constitution?"
The defendant was confused.
The mock lawyer was a bit overwhelmed because the mock case didn't mention it.
Can this have anything to do with racial discrimination?
Yang Lei pondered, if he really opened a company and ran a business in Houston, it was very likely that this kind of thing would happen, the American trade union is very powerful, once the big hat of racial discrimination is buttoned, or some other small details of negligence, it is very normal to lose the lawsuit.
The whole court was in an uproar.
I have never heard that foreigners discriminate against us Chinese, Jeremy Lin doesn't know how many people have been discriminated against when he plays, those people call him a yellow monkey, small eyes, and play math, and yell at him on the side of the court, telling him to go back to his hometown.
I haven't seen what happened to those people under U.S. law?
Why did the judge suddenly use the racial discrimination clause to question the defendant's business problems?
The judge struck the gavel: "Quiet!"
The clerk hurriedly maintained order, and the defendant's side also got a respite and stammered to explain.
Ling Xi didn't understand much of this, and suddenly became nervous.
Sure enough, after several back and forth, the judge finally pronounced the verdict in court: "The defendant is guilty of infringement, compensates the plaintiff Adida Company 132 million US dollars, and imposes a fine of 810 million US dollars." ”
The whole court buzzed.
The defendant lawyer team of Fudan University all had black faces, and they lost again!
They are in a lawsuit with Adidas in accordance with domestic law, and they are not cowardly at all.
But when you go abroad, the laws of each country are different, and it is very easy to lose a lawsuit.
The law school's international law professor supervisor stood up and discussed the original text of American law with the exchange student judges, and taught on the spot.
Although you may not experience this kind of transnational lawsuit in the future, all of you who come here today are interested in entering big law firms, or studying abroad, and entering the world's top 5oo legal elites, and are very willing to learn.
The teams from Fudan University and Hongfeng University Law School were even more eager to learn a lot of new things, especially racial discrimination, under the explanations of the judges and professors.
Because the judge of the moot court is also black, he is the most experienced, and he told everyone a lot from the perspective of black people, and Yang Lei's team benefited a lot.
After class, Yang Lei shook hands with the judge and others and thanked them for their help.
The team of Red Maple University also hugged him, and the teacher said in the Red Maple dialect: "I knew that your achievements were so high, and we Red Maple University would have to escort you if we broke the brain." ”
Yang Lei smiled and said: "Peking University and Tsinghua University also told me this. ”
"Hahaha!"
Everyone laughs, I'm afraid that even Harvard and mIT want to say this.
When everyone was almost gone, Ling Xi walked over with his schoolbag on his back.
"Hello sister. ”
"Xiao Ling, shall I invite you to dinner at noon, do you want to enjoy your face?"
"Let's go, Ling Xuemei is going to have dinner with Mr. Yang. ”
Several law school seniors with good relationships joked, and Ling Xi proudly held her head high, like a little princess, showing a polite smile.
Yang Lei said goodbye to them with a smile and accompanied Ling Xi to leave.
Ling Xi smiled and said, "Are you so happy if you lose the lawsuit?"
Yang Lei said: "Moot court is like this, it is better to lose a few more games, and we will have more experience." To be honest, in a lawsuit in a foreign country, the most fearful thing is that you are not familiar with the legal terms, all kinds of pitfalls, all kinds of traps, and if you are not careful, you will lose the lawsuit. ”
Ling Xi was still very curious: "How will Adidas sue you?"
"It's not the same as before, some of them are nonsense, and it's not easy to find faults, but the most important thing at this stage is the Tpu patent. ”
"You have evidence anyway, so you don't need to be afraid of them. ”
"Senior sister, you're still too young. They don't need to know the outcome at all, they just need to drag you into the whirlpool of lawsuits, and it will be two or three years after a dozen lawsuits, during which the products are not allowed to be sold, and what I lose is energy, financial resources, and the market, and once the three years are over, who remembers me?"
"That's right. ”
Ling Xi thought about it, and suddenly hated this kind of multinational company, Nike seems to have a turnover of more than 2oo million US dollars a year, and if it really takes 100 million US dollars a year to go out to fight, X-Sports is estimated to be played to death.
It's annoying.
Yang Lei sighed as he walked: "When I set up an overseas branch, I was trembling, for fear that if something went wrong, I would lose all the games. ”
Ling Xi hurriedly said, "So you need a good translator to help you familiarize yourself with the laws of various countries." ”
"Like you?"
"Yes, go, I have something to say to you. ”
Ling Xi was smiling, and he had to pull Yang Lei to the second canteen to eat, pulling and pulling along the way, Yang Lei was still very restrained: "A lot of people are watching." ”
Indeed, many classmates were staring at him and Ling Xi snickering, especially girls, occasionally making eye contact with him, and smiling and waving at him.
Ling Xi was very generous: "Nini is your girlfriend, now that the whole country knows about it, everyone will definitely not misunderstand me." ”
In the small seat on the second floor of the cafeteria, the two sat facing each other and chatted about X-Sports' recruitment of legal experts across the country.
Yang Lei said: "The national recruitment is to find a group of experts who will immediately take me to court to fight, such as being stationed in the UK, if Adidas fights a lawsuit, I will definitely find a local lawyer in the UK to deal with it first, so that my Chinese employees can learn from it." ”
Ling Xi understood: "Similar to a reserve cadre." ”
Yang Lei nodded: "Well, young, able to travel, cheap reserve cadres, there are not many of them, but they must be loyal and can grow up with X-Sports." ”
Ling Xi snickered and said that it was cheap, not because Huaxia labor was cheap, but this was only relative to foreigners, labor was never cheap, and lawyers were a profession with extremely high fees.
But the money is made by Huaxia's own people, and it's okay.
Coming to Yang Lei today, it was another matter, Ling Xi cleared his throat, sat up straight in front of him, and said solemnly and solemnly: "This semester is about to end, and I am going to Paris Normal School as an international exchange student." ”
"Congratulations!"
Yang Lei exclaimed: "Wow, Paris is the number one university in France, it's really amazing, are you going to be a diplomat in the future?"
Alas......
Ling Xi put away his serious expression, supported his chin with his arm, and played with the spoon with his other slender hand: "My family has this idea, but I am so bored as a diplomat now." ”
"What about being a translator?"
"Translation is more boring......"
What's boring, in "Dear Translator", the translator can still fall in love with a diplomat, and both are accounted for, how beautiful, right.
It's all a joke, how hard diplomacy and translation are, only those who have experienced it know.
Ling Xi looked at him, but Yang Lei deliberately didn't say anything.
The senior sister glared, suggesting that Yang Lei just didn't pick up.
In the end, Ling Xi was depressed: "I personally want to engage in business operations, such as being in charge of your branch in Europe or something. ”
Yang Lei couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.
"Laugh at you big-headed ghost!"
Ding Ding Ding.
Ling Xi knocked the water cup in front of Yang Lei with a spoon, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't laugh!"
