Embiid sat in the office, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, with a smug look on his face, and a girl sitting on his lap, it was the girl at the front desk, who was sitting in Embiid's arms at this time, and Embiid was putting his big hand into the girl's shirt and ravaging it.

"Honey, aren't you afraid that the Chinese man will really go to a lawyer?" The girl snorted and wanted to take Embiid's hand out, but Embiid's hand clenched tighter: "What are you afraid of? Isn't it just a Chinese person? You don't know the Chinese people, they like to do things like big things and small things, and they are most afraid of getting into trouble." And Chinese people are naturally good at math, and their favorite thing is to weigh the pros and cons, how much does it cost to hire a lawyer? How much does it cost them to repair a car or something?"

"What if he's a fool and has to argue with us?" the girl asked Embiid.

Embiid laughed: "How much assets can a Chinese man who drives a Ford Mustang have? Besides, this has been all night, and if he wanted to find a lawyer, we would have received a lawyer's letter a long time ago." Besides, our parking lot says 'Bear at your own risk', who is to blame for not seeing it themselves?"

"When did that come about?" the girl asked, puzzled.

"Wrote it last night. Embiid laughed.

Embiid's laughter was not over, the phone on the table rang, Embiid looked at the caller ID, and motioned to the girl not to speak: "It's a call from headquarters." ”

The hotel where Xiao Peng stayed is also a chain hotel. Headquartered in New York, Embiid has two locations in Chicago, and Embiid is the general manager of one of them.

Embiid picked up the phone: "Hello, I'm Embiid, who are you?"

There was a sudden deafening roar on the phone, and the girls on the side heard the roar on the phone. Not long after, Embiid hung up the phone in a daze, looked at the girl on his body, and suddenly asked anxiously: "Did the two Huaxia people check out?"

The girl was stunned: "Not yet, my dear, what the hell is going on?"

"This madman! He's really suing us! And it's not against us, it's against our whole group! God, what the hell are they trying to do? Where are they now? I'm going to get them to withdraw the lawsuit or I'm doomed. Embiid said urgently.

The girl was stunned: "They went out early in the morning, I don't know where they went, I thought they went to repair the car." ”

Embiid's eyes widened: "Fix the car, what use do I want you? You can't figure out such a trivial matter? What else do you have besides spending money?"

The girl at the front desk was stunned for a moment and retorted: "Didn't you say that they Chinese people don't like to cause trouble? Didn't they like to weigh the pros and cons? How could this be the result? Besides, things have come to this point, and it's not because of yourself!"

"it, don't talk nonsense! Hurry up and contact them with the phone number they left when they checked in! I tell you, if I'm unlucky, you won't have a good life! Look at what I'm doing? Go quickly!" Embiid smashed the wine glass in his hand and yelled at the girl!

In fact, he really wronged the girl at the front desk. Xiao Peng: They did go to repair the car. It's just a fierce son who goes to repair the car. He went to a lawyer himself, but he's just getting a shocking education, so it's no wonder that doctors and lawyers are the highest-paying jobs in the Stars and Stripes. These Stars and Stripes lawyers are really black.

The lawyer Xiao Peng found was a top lawyer in Chicago, called George Wilson. He is a partner of Green Star Law Firm. Xiao Peng waited two hours to meet him, and from the beginning of the conversation between the two, the timer began, and it cost a thousand dollars an hour. This is the most common billing method for lawyers in the Stars and Stripes.

George Wilson's status can be seen from this fee, because the average fee for a lawyer in Stars and Stripes is $349 per hour, and the average fee for a partner lawyer like George Wilson is $604, and even the time spent by paralegals is charged by the hour, usually $100 an hour, so it is really not possible to do anything in a lawsuit. George Wilson's fees are well above the average.

"Here's a picture of them spraying the slogan last night, and I can attest to the 'loss at your own risk' slogan that was just painted last night. Xiao Peng took out his mobile phone and showed it to George Wilson.

George Wilson listened to Xiao Peng's narration and smiled: "Mr. Xiao, this case is easy to handle. Even if he sprayed the slogan 'bear the loss', it was useless, according to the law, such as them, unilaterally exempting themselves from their own responsibilities, obligations and risks, and increasing the obligations and risks of the car owner, and the standard clauses, are invalid. This parking lot is the infrastructure of their hotel, and it is charged, which is a business behavior, so the property management company needs to fulfill the responsibilities and obligations of general basic risk prevention and care. When something like this happens, the parking lot is responsible for it. But we now have a problem. ”

Xiao Peng was stunned: "What's the problem?"

"Mr. Shaw, as far as I know, you said that your car was a '67 Ford Mustang, but it just broke a glass and lost a digital camera worth hundreds of dollars. Even if the lawsuit is won, there is not much compensation for such losses. To put it mildly, isn't it even worth it for your lawyer's consultation today?" asked George Wilson.

Xiao Peng smiled slightly: "First of all, my car is not a Ford Mustang, but one of the only few Ford 'Irinor' in the world, which is stated on the police record sheet, worth 1.2 million US dollars, which is the receipt for the purchase of this car." "Raymond gave the two cars a total of $1.7 million, 'Inoline' for $1.2 million and Plymouth for $500,000. Although the tariffs on the return of the country can make Xiao Peng's flesh hurt to death, but now it has become a benefit.

"Secondly, I don't want any compensation from them, I just need an explanation!" Xiao Peng said lightly.

Listening to Xiao Peng's words, George Wilson's eyes lit up, and he put away the contemptuous expression on his face just now, replaced it with a smile, and pressed the button on the table: "Vivian, bring two cups of coffee in, use the best coffee beans." After finishing speaking, he opened the cigar box in front of him: "Havana cigars, I don't know if Mr. Xiao likes them?"

Xiao Peng nodded, turned out the cigar, and took a deep breath skillfully: "George, do you have any suggestions?"

What is the reason why George Wilson's attitude has taken a 180-degree turn? In the Stars and Stripes, the profession of lawyer is for the wealthy. The poor can't afford to fight lawsuits at all! And the rich people are like that, there are so many law firms, and there are not lawsuits anytime and anywhere, so every rich person is a good potential customer!

As for what Xiao Peng does? Please, what does he do, anyone who can spend $1.2 million on a car is not bad for money, right?

George Wilson thought for a while: "Mr. Xiao, if you choose another lawyer, for civil litigation like this, cases involving compensation, it is generally recommended that you use the winning fee method, such as insurance, accidental injury, medical malpractice, etc. Generally speaking, the amount involved is relatively large, and the commission of the lawyer and the client is often 37 kai, that is, the amount won, the lawyer gets 30%, the client gets 70%, and there are very few lawyers who can get 40%. ”

Xiao Peng thought that George Wilson would say that he was a lawyer who took 40%, but George Wilson continued: "In a lawsuit like this, the amount of compensation that the lawyer asks for on the pleadings will be wide open, and you can write as much as you can, and you can win as much as you can, anyway, you can write more and not break the law, and your car is very valuable, it is easy to get high compensation, I have made a preliminary calculation, and you can get about 200,000 US dollars in financial compensation in this lawsuit." But for me, that's the standard 'garbage lawyer'. Because although you can get financial compensation, in a way, you will also lose a certain amount of social reputation. It feels like you're fighting this lawsuit for money. ”

Xiao Peng asked, "Then what do you think I should do?"

George Wilson shrugged: "Mr. Xiao, according to my analysis, the key is to want to take out this evil breath, right?"

Xiao Peng nodded, he really didn't care about the money, he just wanted an explanation.

George Wilson said: "My suggestion is this, let the hotel publish an apology." If they don't, we're going to keep them in the dust, causing them to lose their reputation and suffer more financial damage, and it's more effective for us to sue not against this one hotel, but against their entire group. ”

Xiao Peng nodded after hearing this: "I want them to apologize to the three best-selling newspapers and TV media in the whole Star-Spangled Country, can you do it?"

George Wilson smiled and said, "I can do it, but I'm afraid it will take a long time, which means that Mr. Xiao, you may pay more lawyer's fees." ”

Xiao Peng asked, "How much does it take?"

George Wilson thought for a moment: "So, because we're working together for the first time, I'm going to give you a good price, uh, five hundred dollars an hour for the duration of the lawsuit, which includes the cost of attorneys and paralegals." How about you pay 200 hours in advance, but the deposit is non-refundable if there is any remaining amount after the actual settlement. ”

Xiao Peng is happy, this lawyer is worthy of being a lawyer, with a shrewd mind, if he is charged according to the winning method, even if he pays Xiao Peng 200,000 US dollars, according to the proportion of 30%, George Wilson can only get 60,000 US dollars, and if he changes to this way, he can easily get 100,000 US dollars.

However, this was not to Xiao Peng's appetite, and Xiao Peng waved his hand: "I'll pay you for a thousand hours! Regardless of whether the final result is successful or not, if they don't apologize to me, I'll make you responsible for disgusting them! Stink them! During this period, unless they show their sincerity to my satisfaction, we won't stop!"

George smiled: "Mr. Xiao, please rest assured, I will definitely handle this matter." And if I'm not mistaken, you won't lose your money. I will make them unable to bear this lawsuit and give you high compensation. "He's so happy now, can he change his yacht? This lawsuit, deducting the partners' shares, etc., 300,000 yuan will be in hand!

It's beautiful.
