At nine o'clock in the morning, the court opened on time, a middle-aged official wearing a Qing Dynasty official uniform and an official hat walked in the front, followed by clerks, reporters, Japanese jurors, translators and others, after these people came in, the director who presided over the order of the trial court shouted: "Stand up", everyone in the seats stood up, the judge and others sat down according to their seats, the female workers' representatives and the audience sat down below, and the reporters continued to shoot with cameras, and for a time the magnesium lights in the trial court flashed non-stop. ∈ ↗ top novel,.

The provisions of the public concession will be different from the provisions of the French Concession, the French Concession will try the public office stipulates that civil cases can hire a lawyer to defend them, but criminal cases are not allowed to hire a lawyer to defend them, while the public concession will try the public office stipulates that both criminal cases and civil cases can hire a lawyer to defend them, but these female workers are all people who have little money, so naturally they can't afford to hire a lawyer, and Cheng Yusheng is also poor at this time and almost went to the pawnshop to be a pawnshop, and he can't afford to hire a lawyer, so he can defend himself.

The current judge of the public concession trial is Baoyi, who personally conducted the trial today, and the jury manager sent by the Japanese side is Miyamoto, the consul in Shanghai, who obviously came to support Mitsui & Co.

Bao Yi spoke: "Today's trial is held in court for the case of female workers of Yusheng Textile Factory suing Yusheng Textile Factory for arrears of their wages. ”

A representative of a female worker on the plaintiff's bench stood up and said: "Lord Qiyu, the factory owes a total of 12,000 taels of wages to all our female workers for three months, please recover all the wages for us!" ”

Bao Yi turned to the defendant's dock and asked, "Two defendants, is it true that the plaintiff said that your Yusheng Textile Factory owed them a total of 12,000 taels of wages for three months?" ”

Cheng Yusheng stood up, drooped his head and arched his hand, "Yes." My lord! ”

At this time, Mitsui Fuku, who was sitting next to him, stood up and said loudly: "I don't admit it, judge and juror. It is true that Yusheng Textile has shares of our Mitsui Foreign Company, but these have been operated by Cheng Yusheng. We Mitsui & Co. didn't care about it at all, and now due to his mismanagement, the textile factory is losing money, and even the salaries of the female workers are in arrears for three months, totaling 12,000 taels, and this money should be borne by him alone, and it has nothing to do with our Mitsui & Co.! ”

As soon as Mitsui Fu said these words, there was a sudden boo in the audience, and it soon almost became a vegetable market.

Bao Yi immediately slammed the table with a hammer: "Silence, silence!" ”

The judge was powerful, and the audience quickly fell silent, and Bao Yi spoke: "Now the trial is a civil and economic dispute between the female workers and the textile factory. Mitsui & Co., as a shareholder of the textile factory, if you have a different opinion, you can talk about it later, please don't bother with this official trial now! ”

Mitsui Fuku opened his mouth and found that he had nothing to say, so he immediately closed his mouth.

Bao Yi paused and then asked, "Defendant, is Yusheng Textile Factory willing to repay the three months of arrears of wages owed to the female workers for a total of 12,000 taels?" ”

Cheng Yusheng said: "Yes, my lord, I am willing to pay back." I, Cheng Yusheng, am an honest businessman, not to mention that it is a matter of course to repay debts! ”

"Very well, so that the case will be simple!" Bao Yi nodded. Then he asked, "So how are you going to repay the arrears of the wages of the female workers?" According to the relevant clues of this case that this official knows, your Yusheng Textile Factory only has 200 taels on its books, which is too far from repaying 12,000 taels, and the batch of cotton cloth you have accumulated in the warehouse is not cared for at all. If you can't sell it, it's scrap and it's worthless! How are you going to pay it back? ”

At this time, Mitsui Fu couldn't help but stand up and said, "Lord Judge, the matter of repaying the salaries of the female workers is related to the interests of my Mitsui Foreign Company. I do not object to the fact that Yusheng Textile Factory owes the female workers 12,000 taels of wages for three months, but it is also Cheng Yusheng's business to repay this money. It has nothing to do with us Mitsui & Co., he has no money at all now. If he wants to pay off the money without selling the house, he can only sell the factory, but the factory has the shares of my Mitsui & Co., and if he wants to sell it, he can only sell his part of the shares, and our 30% of the shares of Mitsui & Co. must not be moved, and if he wants to sell the shares that belong to him, I have the right of first refusal."

"I'm against it!" Xiao Zhenlei stood up from the audience, which caused the audience to be surprised, and everyone was thinking about what this matter had to do with this young man, why did he stand up and oppose it?

Xiao Zhenlei nodded to Fei Xindun who was sitting next to him, and the two walked out of the audience together and came to the middle of the trial court, but were stopped by the Chinese patrol who maintained order in the court.

Not only did Mitsui Fuku's and Japanese consul Miyamoto's faces look bad, but even the face of the inquisitor Baoyi became ugly, and he asked in an angry voice, "Who are you?" Messing around in court? If you don't tell the reason quickly, the official will immediately order someone to blast you out."

Xiao Zhenlei arched his hand and said: "My lord, Xiao Zhenlei of Xia Zhenhua Company, just yesterday, Master Cheng of Yusheng Textile Factory has sold all the seventy percent of his shares in Yusheng Textile Factory to Xia, so it is the majority shareholder of Yusheng Textile Factory, and from the moment Master Cheng sold his seventy percent of his shares to Xia, he will be responsible for all matters of Yusheng Textile Factory, including the matter of arrears of three months' salaries to female workers totaling 12,000 taels!" ”

"Wow-" The auditorium in the court suddenly turned into a vegetable market, everyone looked left and right and talked to the people around them, no one thought that things would turn out like this, in the eyes of the female workers' representatives, now that the factory has changed owners, their matter of asking for wages has become more complicated.

"Silence, silence!" Bao Yi knocked on the table again, and the audience had to be quiet when they heard the startled noise.

Baoyi looked at Cheng Yusheng and asked, "Cheng Yusheng, is what Xiao Zhenlei said the truth?" ”

"Yes, sir!"

Baoyi turned his head to look at Xiao Zhenlei again and asked: "Xiao Zhenlei of Zhenhua Company, since you are now the major shareholder of Yusheng Textile Factory, then you have to assume your due responsibilities accordingly, you also said just now, Yusheng Textile Factory is also responsible for the arrears of three months' salaries to female workers, and now you are in the dock, Cheng Yusheng." Since you are no longer the majority shareholder of Yusheng Textile Factory, Xiao Zhenlei is also responsible for the arrears of wages. This case has nothing to do with you, you can go down! ”

Cheng Yusheng arched his hand and said, "Thank you, sir!" With that, he walked out of the dock.

Mitsuifu's face turned blue suddenly. He said loudly again: "Your Excellency, I object, the equity transfer agreement between them is invalid, in terms of equity transfer, we Mitsui & Co. have the right of first refusal, and Cheng Yusheng is wrong to sell the equity to a third party without our consent, I ask the Adjudicator to rule that the sale between them is invalid!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei nodded to Fei Xindun beside him, "Mr. Mitsui, I'll ask my lawyer to answer you!" ”

Fei Xindun looked at Mitsui Fu and smiled: "Mr. Mitsui." I think you're mistaken, right? That's right, there are many corporate shareholders who have such an agreement, that is, if one of the shareholders wants to sell their own equity, and the other shareholders of the same enterprise have the right of first refusal, but you have to understand that this is only a verbal agreement between you in the past, and there is no written agreement between you, and there is no such clear provision in the Public Concession Industrial and Commercial Law that shareholders must notify other shareholders when transferring equity to a third party other than the company! ”

Cheng Yusheng hadn't left at this time, he stood still and turned around and said, "Yes." Your Excellency, there is no written agreement between us! ”

Bao Yi looked at Mitsui Fu and said in a deep voice: "Mitsui Yoko's opposition is invalid!" After speaking, he asked Miyamoto, the juror next to him: "Do you have any opinions on the affairs of the palace?" ”

Mitsui Fuku's reason itself is untenable, of course Miyamoto will not be stupid enough to speak out against it at this time, he shook his head and said: "There is no opinion on the skill!" ”

Bao Yi nodded: "Okay." The trial now continues, Xiao Zhenlei, you just said that you will bear the arrears of 12,000 taels of the three salaries of the female workers. When will you be able to pay it off? ”

Xiao Zhenlei said: "It can be paid in full before noon tomorrow!" ”

"Good!" Bao Yi immediately arrived: "This official will sentence you to pay all the 12,000 taels of wages owed to the female workers for three months by noon tomorrow, if it is overdue." It will be enforced by the trial officer, who will confiscate your house in the public concession and sell it to others. Do you have any opinion on the repayment of the money to the female workers? ”

Xiao Zhenlei shook his head: "No!" ”

At this time, Mitsui Fu said again: "Your Excellency, our Mitsui Foreign Company once again declares that the arrears of salaries of female workers are caused by Cheng Yusheng's poor management, and it has nothing to do with our Mitsui Foreign Company, even if the factory changes its major shareholder, because of the problem of repaying the salaries of female workers, our Sancheng shares in Yusheng Textile Factory cannot be moved!" ”

Xiao Zhenlei sneered: "This is impossible! Yusheng Textile Factory is not without glory, in its glory when Mitsui Foreign Bank took dividends, now it is declining, can not be completely blamed Cheng Yusheng, he does not want the factory to lose money, do business, there are profits and losses, everyone knows that doing business is risky, if you are afraid of losses, then you should not invest in the shares, do you Mitsui foreign companies can only make money and not lose? This reason does not make sense in any country, now there are a total of 200 taels in the accounts of the factory, in addition to these 200 taels, it is still 11,800 taels to repay the arrears of wages owed to the female workers, these money by both of us according to the proportion of the shares of the factory, if you do not come out, I have the right to find someone to calculate the net assets of the factory, according to the proportion of your shares held by Mitsui & Co. to deduct the part of the money that you Mitsui & Co. has to bear, that is to say, you originally accounted for 30% of the shares, After calculating the net assets of the factory and deducting the part you want to give out, you may only have 20% of the shares! ”

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, nothing like this has ever happened!" Mitsui Fukuku shouted!

At this time, the Japanese consul Miyamoto helped Mitsui Fu speak: "What Mr. Xiao said is completely unreasonable and unreasonable!" ”

Fei Xindun stood up and said: "Your Excellency, the company law stipulates that shareholders have responsibilities and obligations to the company, and on the premise of enjoying the company's dividends, they should also bear the risk of the company's possible losses. If Mitsui & Co. does not agree to make a sum of money, then my client can only file for bankruptcy, find an accountant to calculate the net assets of the factory, and then sell all the equipment and land of the factory, and part of the proceeds will be used to repay the salaries of the female workers, and the other part will be distributed according to the proportion of the shares.

Miyamoto didn't know Mitsuifuku's attitude, and he couldn't help talking, so he looked at Mitsui Fuku and asked, "Mitsui Fuku, what is Mitsui's attitude, does it agree to pay according to the shares, or agree to let the factory go bankrupt?" ”

Of course, Mitsui Fu didn't want the factory to go bankrupt, his purpose was to get Yusheng Textile Factory, and since he didn't get Cheng Baguio, then he wouldn't give up this factory anyway, and he must find a way to take it over, he thought about it and gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I agree to pay!" However, as a shareholder of the factory, we have the right to send people to participate in the management and operation! ”

Xiao Zhenlei said with a smile: "Of course you can, this is as it should be, as for who you send here is your Mitsui foreign company's business, but the specific position will have to be negotiated separately!" ”

Seeing that there was nothing to do, Bao Yi immediately announced his withdrawal from the court. (To be continued......) (www) R640
