Chapter 250: Winning or Losing
Lianke's lawsuit was held as scheduled, and this lawsuit attracted strong attention from all sides before the trial, especially the copycat machine bosses who were "pitted" by Lianke, and regarded the trial of this case as a turning point to reverse their current predicament.
Early in the morning, Roger arrived at the courthouse early to prepare to participate in the hearing. He was accompanied by his partner Mike Chen, who was much older than before in a few months, his originally ruddy face was obviously sunken, the general's belly was gone, his whole life was thin, and his head was gray.
Mike Chan and Roger are in a similar situation, except that he is a few years younger than Roger, but he still looks haggard. The two met at the gate, nodded silently to each other, and stood aside quietly waiting for the time for the court to come.
As the minutes passed, more and more people were waiting for the court to begin. Among them, there are not only copycat machine bosses like Roger, but also journalists from all walks of life, etc., and even many people from the Taiwan Strait. The owners of the copycat machine because of the previous denunciation in Lianke, basically know each other, today will inevitably get together to chat a few words, Roger and Mike Chen are no exception, when a few more familiar copycat bosses arrived, and they said hello and talked.
"Do you know Boss Kang of the Eastern Crown?"
"Isn't it in your forties, the one who used to work in a toy factory?" Mike Chan asked.
The owner of the copycat machine who spoke nodded and said gloomily: "Originally, he was also going to come today, but unfortunately, he can't come now." ”
"How?" Everyone asked suspiciously.
"Boss Kang committed suicide last night, not only him, but also his wife and a pair of daughters drank pesticides together. Miserable! A family of four...... Ay....... ”
Everyone was shocked and asked in disbelief if it was true. The man who spoke swore that this was of course true, and said that when he heard the news, he rushed over to take a look, and when he arrived at the place, the body had been put in a bag and sent to the car, according to the neighbors, Boss Kang's family was forced to die.
"Boss Kang is really good, what's the hurdle you can't overcome? Why not take this path? Not to mention that even if he ...... What does this have to do with the wife and children? One of the bosses shook his head and sighed, his face showing disappointment.
The person who spoke first knew this boss, and immediately said: "Boss Zhu, your family has a big business, and although the loss in the mobile phone project this time is not small, it is not to the point of breaking your muscles and bones." Boss Kang is different, the toy industry has been sluggish in recent years, toy processing orders are difficult to do, and profits are getting lower and lower, Boss Kang's factory has been operating in debt since last year. This time, he originally planned to get out of the predicament by engaging in a mobile phone project, but who would have thought that this kind of thing would happen later. You must know that in order to get a mobile phone, he not only sold the entire factory out, but also borrowed a large amount of loan sharks, and in the past few months, loan sharks have come to the door every day to force debts, and even dragged his wife and daughter to the horse pen to pick up customers to pay off debts, it has come to this point, what do you say let him do? If there is a little way to live, he will not take this road! ”
Boss Zhu was speechless for a moment, indeed, everyone's situation is different, who is the boss in the southeast doesn't know the ferocity of usury, these people are scum at all, what can't they do? Boss Kang borrowed a loan shark and couldn't pay it back, and the other party wanted to send his wife and daughter to the horse pen to pick up the guests to repay it, could he watch them jump into the fire pit? If this kind of thing falls on your head, maybe the final choice will be like Boss Kang, and you can only cut off this road by yourself.
Thinking of this, Boss Zhu couldn't help but shudder, and the other bosses around him all looked extremely ugly. Among them, Roger and Mike Chen glanced at each other, and at the same time saw despair and helplessness in each other's gaze. Although the two of them did not borrow from loan sharks, they also used the factory as collateral to borrow money from the bank, which was only slightly better than Boss Kang, who committed suicide. If the matter can't be solved, I'm afraid it won't be long before the two of them end up with nothing, and where will they go then?
The news of Boss Kang's death was soon learned by everyone present. The bosses who learned the news had a kind of sadness about the death of a rabbit and a fox, and for a while, the noisy gate became cold, and every boss was thinking about whether he would also embark on this desperate road.
Half an hour before leaving the courtroom, the door finally opened, and representatives of both sides arrived at the scene. Pang Yishan, as the legal counsel and the main person in charge of the case and the lawyer representing the copycat parties, arrived by car with his elite soldiers. The moment they got out of the car, there were bursts of applause and cheers all around, and in the eyes of the bosses, Pang Yishan's lawyer team was their savior and hope, and the key to determining whether their future would survive or ruin. Whatever the reason, they will not hesitate to stand on the side of TcL and Pang Yishan, hoping for a victory.
Immediately after arriving was the team of lawyers, and when the two cars of Lianke slowly arrived, they were greeted by bursts of angry curses instead of cheers and applause. If it weren't for the bailiffs at the scene to maintain order, I'm afraid someone would have thrown rotten eggs at the people of Lianke.
When the time came, the two parties appeared in court, and the lawsuit officially began.
According to domestic law, the plaintiff first makes a complaint, and then the judge asks about the previous mediation and asks whether there is still any possibility of mediation between the parties. The answer, of course, is no, and then the next step is for the lawyers of both sides to fight each other in court.
The legal team of TcL has sufficient preparation and perfect evidence to prove that Lianke not only misappropriated the technology belonging to TcL in the manufacture of mobile phone chips, but also used TcL's mobile phone serial number for production without authorization, which has strictly violated the commercial law and the previous contract between the two parties, and as the infringed party, TcL has the right to demand that Lianke bear the consequences caused and huge economic losses. At the same time, as the agent of the owner of the copycat machine who was deceived by the use of these chips and caused huge losses, he also asked Lianke to bear the economic losses incurred.
The lawyer team on the side of the company is equally strong, although they are inferior in terms of evidence, they still resist to the end in court. When TcL presented evidence, Lianke still refused to admit it, but instead bit back, claiming that this was a slander against Lianke, an internationally well-known company with a responsibility and conscience, and reserved the right to countersue TcL. As for the chip system used by the owners of copycat machines, Lianke said that they only sell chips, regardless of how these chips are used, from a theoretical and technical point of view, the chips they sell are completely without any problems, as for the later production of mobile phones can not be used, this is completely due to the use of these bosses themselves, and any losses have nothing to do with them.
Lianke's defense immediately caused a big uproar among the on-site observers, and several bosses who were not angry immediately stood up and scolded Lianke's defense lawyer. In order to maintain order, the judge had to call in the bailiff to invite several overly excited bosses out of the courtroom, and wait for the order to resume the trial.
The first day of the trial was spent in this back-and-forth debate, and on the second day, TcL's side used the complete evidence at hand and the appraisal report of the Academy of Sciences as a basis to deal a final blow to the UNOCI side. However, the joint branch is still unwilling to be restrained, and is still messing around in the courtroom, in a vain attempt to disrupt the judge's verdict with this tactic.
It's a pity that the black is still black, and the white is always white. Black can't become white, and white can't become black. What's more, this case has long received widespread attention, and the provincial task force has also reached a conclusion. The judgment clearly pointed out that Lianke lost the case of TcL infringement and Lianke mobile phone chip due to the economic loss of the manufacturer due to infringement, and as the infringing party, Lianke not only had to compensate TcL for direct economic losses, but also had to compensate for indirect economic losses, the amount of which was as high as 5o billion, which was 300 million more than the 4.7 billion previously proposed, mainly taking into account a part of the interest and compensation, of which TcL accounted for 2.4 billion. The remaining 2.6 billion yuan is the compensation of the investors of the damaged factories.
After the verdict was handed down, the scene was silent at first, and then there was cheering. Roger and Mike Chen, who was beside him, burst into tears of excitement, their hands clasped together, and a long-lost smile appeared on their faces. In their opinion, the lawsuit was won, the matter finally had a result, and the losses suffered could finally be recovered. Although these losses are only a part of their current losses, they can still free them from their current predicament and return to life.
But no one expected that while everyone was cheering, the legal team of Lianke accepted the result without any surprise, but at the same time they filed a request for appeal in court. The court was legally required to accept this appeal, and after submitting the appeal, the UUCI team left the court with a gesture of defiance, as if they were the victors in the case.
Looking at this scene, Pang Yishan was not surprised, he had already guessed this correspondence of Lianke. But those copycat bosses are different, they are not professionals, looking at the departure of the Lianke lawyer group, some people were dumbfounded, some people were stunned, and asked again and again what was going on, when they got some legal people in the court to answer, their joy just before became extremely lost, and everyone had a thought in their heads, that is, why did the other party continue to fight even if the lawsuit was won? Isn't this back and forth? If this continues, when will they be compensated for their losses? Is it endless?
"Fuck it!" One of the bosses finally couldn't help but curse loudly.
