Chapter 41: The first confrontation, mutual probing

After listening to the words of their project manager, Sister Liu, Li Ling had a further understanding of the details of the negotiation. Perhaps the information and knowledge she has now does not directly allow them to win the negotiation easily. However, after this period of preparation, at least psychologically, she became more confident. In terms of negotiation skills and making demands with the other party, she is at least not so innocent.

When she was sending chicken soup to Zhang Dequan, she chatted with Zhang Dequan about economic compensation.

"Zhang Dequan, what do you think about talking about economic compensation with Gao Zhicheng?" Although Li Ling didn't want Zhang Dequan to worry too much about talking about economic compensation. But thinking that he was injured for himself, Li Ling felt that he should still listen to Zhang Dequan's thoughts.

"I have any ideas, but it's useless for us to think about it here, and we have to ask the other party to agree. Zhang Dequan felt that they should not think too much, especially this kind of groundless conjecture, everything has to be done step by step.

"Then tell me, do you want this matter to be dealt with?" Li Ling continued.

"Of course the bad guys, and they all get the punishment they deserve. From now on, none of them will come to disturb your life. No, to be precise, it should be our lives. Zhang Dequan didn't know what to say, so he said some nonsense.

"If they bring the money to you, please let them go. For example, isn't Gao Zhicheng coming to you now?" Li Ling saw Zhang Dequan's stupid appearance, so she followed his words and slowly guided him.

"If the conditions they give us are satisfactory, this issue can be considered completely. At least you can't let me lie here for nothing. This injury is 100 days, which is more uncomfortable than a woman's confinement. "After staying in the hospital for too long, Zhang Dequan is a little annoyed, but there is no way. Especially at the beginning, when he was alone in the hospital, this torment, this discomfort, and this boredom became more and more intense.

"Confinement? Have you ever been there? Speaking of business, do you think it is reasonable for them to give us how much financial compensation they give us? Li Ling saw that Zhang Dequan was interested, so she continued to ask.

"Then you'll have to let me do the math. I heard from the nurse that my hospitalization fee was 40 yuan a day, but I didn't expect it to be more expensive than renting a house in an urban village, and Wu Jinmin and I rented a house a day plus water and electricity, which was less than 40 yuan a day. What makes me even more angry is that I live in a hospital, and I can't save money on rent in an urban village. Seeing Zhang Dequan scheming like that, it is simply the dead nature of the hillbilly, he has been honest for so long, and he still spends money on meals as he was when he first came. His virtue, in the eyes of rural people, can be regarded as a virtue, that is called being able to make careful calculations and live a good life.

"And the chicken soup I make every day. Now any chicken costs 30 to 50 yuan. If you want to buy more expensive black chickens or farm chickens, it will be even more expensive, and you can't buy them at all without a hundred yuan a catty. However, every time I buy you black chicken or farmhouse chicken, I don't feel distressed at all. First, because of my injury, you must make up for your nutrition and then take care of your body; second, isn't someone giving us financial compensation, since someone pays for our medical expenses and nutrition expenses, how can we not eat better? During Zhang Dequan's hospitalization, Zhang Dequan's breakfast and lunch were all eaten in the hospital canteen, and only in the evening, Li Ling or Wu Jinmin, they would come to the hospital to chat with Zhang Dequan and talk about something.

Li Ling was afraid that Zhang Dequan's nutrition would not be able to keep up with him during his hospitalization, so she went to the supermarket to buy an electric cooker. Before going to work in the morning, put the chicken in the pot, adjust the heat, adjust the timing, and let the chicken slowly stew in the pot. When she came back from work, she gave the chicken to Zhang Dequan and sent it to the hospital. At the same time, Li Ling was still in the ward, putting a lot of snacks, when Zhang Dequan felt that the food in the hospital was not delicious, or did not want to eat, Zhang Dequan ate some snacks, or used boiling water to make some nutritional products to drink.

Zhao Yali, Zou Sisi and Xu Xiaohui, who didn't often go to see Zhang Dequan, went to the hospital every three or five to have a look, and after they saw Zhang Dequan, they all said that Zhang Dequan had gained a lot of weight during his hospitalization. Zhang Dequan thought, now that he is obviously fat, he will still have it on the day he is discharged from the hospital.

When he is bored, Zhang Dequan will quietly read a book alone. When he reads books, he actually thinks like this, maybe the things he reads now may not be used at the moment. But he believes that all talents are actually prepared unintentionally. A lot of times people think that someone who has just come to work in a certain area and does it really well, everyone will call that person a genius.

In Zhang Dequan's view, there are no real geniuses in this world, and even if there are, they are very few. Many people suddenly explode in a certain aspect, in fact, these people have accumulated knowledge in certain fields for a long time in a casual time before. Such behaviors are often referred to as side hustles or idle chess, or more awesomely, as personality or hobbies.

"Now that we've talked about financial compensation, I think I have to get back the money I paid for chickens and snacks. Of course, there are other miscellaneous expenses that we have to compensate them for. There are also our lost work expenses and mental damage expenses, which we also have to make up for them. Then Li Ling and Zhang Dequan began to calculate one by one in the ward. Li Ling also roughly calculated this account, that is, when Wu Jinmin helped consult a lawyer.

"By the way, Sister Li Ling, your mental loss expenses, as well as lost work expenses or something, should also be counted together. For example, you can now be comfortable, lying at home, making a face mask or something, or you can do something that you can do without hurry, but now you have to rush to do it. In order to take care of me, you are still running between the hospital and the rental house, making it difficult to eat and sleep. These situations have to be taken into account. When Zhang Dequan talked about himself, Li Ling's heart was so warm. Hearing Zhang Dequan's words, she suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, she felt that the fatigue of this time, as well as the dedication, at this moment, felt that everything was worth it.

"By the way, Sister Li Ling, do you think we should make a phone call now to find out the sincerity of the other party. Zhang Dequan felt that Gao Zhicheng had been visiting him in the hospital for a while, and it was time to give Gao Zhicheng a call.

"I think it's okay, then you can fight now, while I'm still here, I want to hear what they have to say. Then, Zhang Dequan called Gao Zhicheng's phone.

At this time, Gao Zhicheng was also discussing the case with Chen Yang.

"Lao Chen, look at this case, is there any possibility that Gao Jun will not be sentenced. Gao Zhicheng asked Chen Yang.

"Chairman, according to what we have learned from the police so far, such a result may be difficult. At present, the case has been handled as a civil case attached to a criminal case, and both the degree of responsibility and negligence and the level of injury have reached the sentencing standards for criminal cases. When a case constitutes a criminal proceeding, we have less room for mediation and more restrictions. Because when the courts are adjudicating, they will consider the social impact of the criminal case. "Since the perpetrator was beating the unarmed and unarmed party and the victim in the whole case, and the party to the case, in the whole case, was not clearly liable for negligence, it is entirely reasonable to attribute the responsibility to the perpetrator. In view of the fact that the victim has been identified by the police as seriously injured, the level of injury is at a relatively serious level, which has already reached the sentencing standard for a criminal case, and in fact the perpetrator has constituted a crime, the people's court will certainly consider the facts of the crime, as well as factors such as public order and social stability.

"Lao Chen, then you can do your best. By the way, whether to talk to the other party about financial compensation, we need to speed up. If it is slow, what we are doing now may not be effective. Gao Zhicheng knew in his heart that the other party would definitely ask for a sky-high price, and they needed to control the specific amount of compensation within a reasonable range. Although Gao Zhicheng is very rich, his money is not blown by the wind, and he can't let the other party do what he wants.

"Yes, Chairman. In this matter, we must negotiate the matter of negotiation before the police transfer the case to the court. If the negotiations are still being held during the court trial, some uncontrollable situations may arise, and we must not drag the negotiation of economic compensation to the court trial stage. Chen Yang was very cautious and reminded Gao Zhicheng.

"A few days ago, I asked you to do an investigation on economic compensation, how did you investigate?" shrewd Gao Zhicheng, what he wanted to know most at this time was also a more reasonable question of how much to compensate the other party.

"Chairman, it's hard to say in this regard, how much compensation is there, and you have to talk to the other party about this. Chen Yang reminded Gao Zhicheng with a professional attitude that there is no hard standard for the issue of economic compensation.

"Then you know, after we make financial compensation, how much light sentence the court will give when it comes to trial. Gao Zhicheng continued to ask Chen Yang.

"It's not easy to judge this aspect at the moment, it depends on the specific outcome of the trial. Chen Yang is sometimes powerless about Gao Zhicheng's problems.

When Gao Zhicheng and Chen Yang were talking, Gao Zhicheng's phone rang. This is an unfamiliar phone number, for such a call, Gao Zhicheng put it before, he would not care. But during this time, it was completely different, even if it was a harassing call or spam text message, he would answer it and he would read it.

"Hey, who are you, do you have anything to do with me?" Gao Zhicheng asked, because he was afraid that the other party would make a harassing phone call, so he asked directly what he meant.

"Are you Gao Zhicheng, Chairman Gao? I am the young man you came to visit in the city hospital that day, the young man who was injured and hospitalized. You said you were here to talk to us about financial compensation. Zhang Dequan said very clearly on the phone. He was afraid that the other party wouldn't remember it and didn't know who he was.

"I know who you are, your name is Zhang Dequan. Gao Zhicheng heard Zhang Dequan's explanation and quickly remembered. Can Gao Zhicheng not remember, Zhang Dequan's phone call said that Gao Zhicheng was thinking about it, which is not an exaggeration.

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

Gao Zhicheng communicated with Chen Yang with his eyes, then pointed to his mobile phone, spoke dumbly, and told Chen Yang that the call was called by Zhang Dequan.

"How much financial compensation do you want from us?" and do you have any other conditions?" Zhang Dequan, who had never seen a big scene at this time, was still in a mess in his heart. When it comes to money, he hasn't organized his language yet.

"We want to pay 5 million in economic compensation, when will you be able to cash it out, I tell you, you'd better think about it quickly. On Zhang Dequan's side, because Zhang Dequan was on the speaker, Li Ling also heard Gao Zhicheng's conversation. Li Ling saw Zhang Dequan's facial expression, something was wrong, she knew at a glance that Zhang Dequan's head was stuck.

Gao Zhicheng's side, who was talking amiably a second ago, suddenly heard a high-decibel voice of a woman talking, and she spoke so aggressively.

"Girl, 5 million, isn't it too high. You're asking for a lot of money. Regardless of whether the other party's asking price is high or not, Gao Zhicheng, as a businessman, his first reaction is to habitually bargain immediately.

At this time, Chen Yang, who was next to him, motioned for Gao Zhicheng to give him the phone. hoped that Gao Zhicheng could let him come and talk to the other party, and after Gao Zhicheng saw what Chen Yang meant, he handed the phone to Chen Yang.

"Girl, financial compensation, it's not like you're talking about it. Why don't we all go to the police together, and in front of the police, we will sit down and have a good talk. Chen Yang meant that the two sides would go to the Public Security Bureau together and negotiate with the mediation of the police. In this way, the court can use it as an effective basis for trial sentencing, so that the case can be given a lighter sentence as appropriate.

"No problem, you can decide the time. But remember to let us know in advance, we can prepare on our side. Li Ling also agreed with Chen Yang's request.

"Then we'll get in touch then. Chen Yang continued.

"Okay, we'll wait for your reply. After Li Ling finished speaking, she hung up the phone.
