The anti-dumping investigation of four enterprises, including Huasheng Porcelain Industry, was the first foreign-related business received by Justice Law Firm.

Whether or not you can win the preliminary cut cleanly is related to whether the first shot can be fired.

Bai Xiaoqian, the director of the western suburbs branch, is nervous, and Director Wang Zhongyang, who has invested a lot of money in the branch, and pinned all his hopes for the revitalization of the law firm on foreign-related business, is also nervous. After entertaining a client, I rushed to the Western Suburbs Botanical Garden overnight and sat with them to wait for news.

Bai Xiaoqian was under a lot of pressure, sitting on the ground without saying a word, and she hadn't even eaten dinner until now.

Wang Zhongyang was afraid that she would not be able to persevere, so he comforted her in a slow voice: "Xiaoqian, don't be so stressed, first, the winning rate is not high, as a lawyer, we can work hard, but we can't change the facts; Second, this is only a preliminary ruling, as long as Mr. Han can obtain the lowest possible anti-dumping duty rate in the next investigation by the U.S. Department of Commerce, then we can still succeed. ”

Jiang Yi was also worried about her, put aside the fast food she didn't want to eat, and echoed thoughtfully: "Sister Bai, Director Wang is right, just like the case of Dongjiang Group, didn't my master also lose, but people say that he is good, and he is hired as a perennial legal adviser for 600,000 yuan a year, as long as he can get less anti-dumping duties." ”

Bai Xiaoqian stretched her sore legs, shook her head and smiled: "Don't persuade me, I know that I'm not that fragile." It's just that I've been busy with this for so long and put so much energy into it, and I always feel like I deserve a better reward. ”

She works very hard, and because she is very dedicated, Wang Zhongyang took good care of her when she first arrived at the law firm.

Later, she met Han Jun and survived the most difficult period of survival. Slowly there was a source of the case, and several lawsuits were fought vividly. Wang Zhongyang has changed from taking care of her to being important, and has always cultivated her as a successor.

After all, a law firm is not like a corporation. The director of the law firm must be able and convincing to the public, and cannot pass on the position of director to his son or even his grandson like a private business owner.

The director is not so easy to do, she is only bringing a few fledgling trainee lawyers now, and Han Jun's consultant is behind her, if it is those old fritters in the city outside, it will definitely be difficult to convince the public with her current mental state.

Wang Zhongyang yawned and said in a humming voice: "Xiaoqian, you are now the director of the branch." Your every move, word and deed directly affects the morale of the entire branch. Don't be so calm, be calm, and look like a director. ”

He spoke earnestly, Bai Xiaoqian felt very funny, and couldn't help asking, "Director, does the American one have a look?" ”

"He's not like you, he's already mixed up. The same thing you do others will laugh. He does others only praise. Besides, he's an American lawyer, so he doesn't need to think about so much mess like we do. ”

As he was talking, Shi Lingzhi suddenly ran in and shouted excitedly, "Director Wang." Sister Bai, Erin sent me a message online, saying that the preliminary ruling results were announced one hour later. ”

Wang Zhongyang didn't know why. Eagerly asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"It's just that there is change, it's that we have hope to win."

Bai Xiaoqian asked suspiciously: "How is it possible?" ”

Shi Lingzhi ran to the desk. Turn on your computer and click on your email. Turning the monitor in front of them, he explained with a smile on his eyebrows: "At the last minute, Mr. Han used the information and numbers provided by us and the Department of Commerce to explain to the ITC the price system of our client's domestic sales, and told the ITC that there is a reason why the domestic sales price is much higher than the export price, and once these documentary evidence are admitted, then we can win the preliminary ruling." ”

"Really?"

"What are you lying to, don't believe it yourself, this is a diagram made by Erin and them, concise and clear at a glance."

The mountains and rivers are poor and there is no way out, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village.

Bai Xiaoqian was overjoyed, threw herself to the computer and said to herself: "I know that he has a way, and I know that he will not let me down." I didn't expect to use this trick, combined with the questionnaires we replied to before and the documentary evidence provided, then we don't have a chance of winning, but a great chance of winning. ”

Shi Lingzhi smiled and said, "Yes, wait another hour and a half and there will be results." ”

90 minutes is not long, watching a movie passes before you know it, but to everyone in the law firm, it seems to be longer than a year.

Wang Zhongyang smoked cigarettes one after another, and Bai Xiaoqian refreshed the computer again and again, for fear that the email would not know when it arrived. Shi Lingzhi stayed by the phone, Gao Ming and other trainee lawyers sat in the open office area and whispered, only Jiang Yi, who had nothing to do with herself, was lying on the sofa and dozing.

At 3:12 a.m. BJ time, Bai Xiaoqian's mobile phone rang suddenly. Everyone stood up in unison, holding their breath and nervously wondering about the outcome of the preliminary ruling.

Bai Xiaoqian wanted to answer but didn't dare to answer, so she simply stuffed the phone into Jiang Yi's hand: "Ginger, you have the best luck, you answer this call." After that, he put his hands together and prayed vigorously.

It's really superstitious, Jiang Yi smiled secretly, picked up the phone and pressed the call button.

"Director Bai, my Legislative Affairs Office Wu Ranyu, is there any result on Lawyer Han's side, and has he contacted you?"

Director Yan's secretary, Bai Xiaoqian let out a long sigh, snatched the phone from Jiang's hand and said, "Secretary Wu, there is no news for the time being, but it should be soon." It's so late, you can rest first, and I'll call you as soon as I have news. ”

"Director Bai, this is the first time in the province to fund an enterprise that has been investigated by a foreign country to respond to the lawsuit, it is of great significance, Director Yan will report to Governor Yu early tomorrow morning, where do I dare to sleep!"

"Then you wait a little longer, I'll hang up first, and I can't occupy the line."

"Okay, I'll wait for your news."

It was really a sleepless night, and as soon as I hung up Secretary Wu's phone, Mr. Qian of Huasheng Porcelain Industry called again. Spending so much lawyer fees, he was more anxious than anyone else, Bai Xiaoqian even coaxed and deceived for a while before letting him take the initiative to hang up the phone.

At 3:48 in the morning, the phone rang again, ginger's luck didn't work, Bai Xiaoqian simply answered it herself.

"Xiaoqian, I'm Han Jun."

Lawyer Han's familiar voice came from the other end of the obedient end, Bai Xiaoqian's liver thumped carefully, hesitated for a moment, and asked nervously: "Is the preliminary ruling result out, what is the result?" ”

"Win."

Barrister Han cherishes words like gold, but these two words are enough, Bai Xiaoqian showed a knowing smile, and everyone immediately cheered.

Wang Zhongyang was excited, grabbed his mobile phone and said: "Lawyer Han, I, Wang Zhongyang, winning the preliminary ruling is equivalent to winning more than half, thank you for your hard work!" ”

"It's not hard, it's hard for you to stay up late waiting for news, I want to thank a few officials of the ITC, and I'll talk about the specific situation when I come back the afternoon the next day."

"Okay, you get busy first, and when you and Professor Zhang come back, I'll pick you up."

When the news reached the four responding companies, the CEOs of the four responding companies were so happy that they couldn't speak, and laughed for a while before expressing their gratitude to Bai Xiaoqian and the Western Suburbs Branch of Justice Law Firm.

Secretary Wu of the Provincial Legislative Affairs Office, who was on duty and waiting for the news, reported to Director Yan and the leaders of the Department of Commerce overnight.

As he said to Bai Xiaoqian on the phone just now, this is the first time that the provincial government has funded enterprises in the province to respond to the lawsuit, which is of great significance. In accordance with the plan, Director Yan immediately contacted the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Party Committee and asked them to inform the editor-in-chief of the "Jiang Provincial Daily" to withdraw a piece of economic news that was not very important, and to take the news that Huasheng Porcelain Industry and four other enterprises had won the preliminary ruling in the US anti-dumping investigation as the headline of tomorrow's economic sector.

Comrade Xiao Han fought a beautiful "foreign lawsuit", and Governor Yu only looked at the results and did not ask about the process.

At the governor's office meeting early the next morning, he said with a look of remorse: "Comrade Xiang Yuan, I really regret hanging Han Jun to the Public Security Department, and the '801' you did will definitely occupy his energy." He should make the best use of his talents and play a greater role in the economic construction of our province in a more suitable post. ”

"Governor Yu is right, it is not appropriate to hang it in the Legislative Affairs Office, it can be hung in the Department of Commerce. The situation has opened up, and there will definitely be no less response to the next lawsuit. Although BJ and SH have such a foreign-related team, they don't know whether they have the strength, and secondly, they have no influence in our province, no successful cases, and they can't play a leading role. ”

Vice Governor Kang is also the head of the provincial fair trade leading group, and it is his job to mobilize, encourage and assist the export enterprises in the province to actively respond to the lawsuit, and he is of course very concerned.

They sang and sang together, and the whole posture was that they wanted people to go back.

At this critical moment, how could Vice Governor Peng release people, and said: "Governor Yu, Vice Governor Kang, you two can rest assured, our Public Security Department will not occupy too much energy of Comrade Xiao Han. It is precisely in consideration of the overall situation of economic construction that we have appointed him as an adviser to '801', instead of appointing him as the deputy head of the leading group and the director of the office. ”

Governor Yu picked up the teacup and asked thoughtfully: "So his current administrative position is the deputy director of the Jiang Provincial Liaison Office of the China National Central Bureau of Interpol?" ”

"Yes, there is only one, and having this position is no different from not having this position, the liaison office is just a brand, and he is the only full-time cadre. No superiors, no subordinates, no offices, let alone any work. ”

Vice Governor Kang quipped: "Vice Governor Peng, people don't get a salary in the province, not to mention the treatment at the department level, it's just a name, are you embarrassed to arrange jobs for others?" ”

"Vice Governor Kang, hang up to the Department of Commerce, are you embarrassed to arrange for him?"

Governor Yu laughed and said: "Comrade Xiang Yuan, if Xiao Han is allowed to be attached to the Department of Commerce, Vice Governor Kang really doesn't have to deliberately arrange it, because the work he manages can make a lot of money, and Xiao Han will definitely rush to do it."
