Chapter 121: Out-of-Court Settlement!
On May 3, TVE and Tang Jue's lawsuit was opened. At eight o'clock in the morning, at the entrance of the Madrid District Court, more than 100 Real Madrid fans gathered to show solidarity with Tang Jue. Wearing Real Madrid's number 17 shirt, they held a banner in their hands and shouted loudly about what was on it.
"TVE withdraws the lawsuit!"
"TVE apologizes!"
"TVE is an accomplice to racism!"
……
The lawsuit attracted a lot of media attention, and a Madrid TV reporter interviewed the organizers of the demonstration, and the middle-aged man in his 40s said loudly: "TVE made a mistake first, they should apologize, that's for sure." In addition, we believe that this is a conspiracy, and some people do not want to let the horse win the Champions League trophy, and try to distract Don with a lawsuit. As Real Madrid fans, we have an obligation to help him! ”
A black Mercedes slowly stopped at the entrance of the courthouse, and a big fat man walked down from the car, and the emotions of the fans became indignant. The big fat man was a high-level member of the TVE, and they knew this person. While they were demonstrating at the TVE building, it was this guy who came out and told them that TVE was considering dropping the lawsuit and letting them disperse.
Who knew that Lu Dao TVE did not withdraw the lawsuit, this fat man is a liar!
"Liar!"
"Liar!"
"Liar!"
The fans were furious, and a white orb flew over the head of the bodyguard and accurately hit the fat man in the face. The fat man screamed, and when he looked up, his face was covered with a mixture of egg yolk and egg white, and it turned out that it was an egg that had smashed on his face!
The fans cheered loudly, and the fat man was escorted by bodyguards. Get out of here quickly, and trot into the courthouse in embarrassment. The fans looked at the fat man's embarrassed appearance and let out a loud laugh.
Five minutes later, a red Porsche arrived at the courthouse, and reporters flocked to it. Alice slowly walked out of the car with her sunglasses on, and countless questions came to her face. A middle-aged man who looked like a lawyer stepped down from the other side of the car and quickly approached Alice.
"Why didn't Tang Weilu come?"
"Do you have confidence in the lawsuit?"
"Does the lawsuit have an impact on Tang?"
"Is it true that a British media reported that you entered a hotel with other men?"
……
Alice took off her sunglasses, looked at the reporters and said, "Don wants to train and compete, and I have full authority to represent him." TVE sued us for breaking the contract. Not bad. We tore up the contract, but they made the mistake first. We are confident that we will win this lawsuit! ”
"As for the report of a British tabloid, I think you will know that it is fake news after a little analysis. The picture is not clear. The hero of that photo is not me. And I was busy with a fashion show at the time. How is it possible to stay in a hotel all day. I have a good relationship with Don, I love him so much that it is impossible for me to have a tryst with another man. ”
'He's fighting the pitch. I'm not going to let a backyard catch fire. My task is to take care of him and let him focus all his energy on training and the game and give the fans great goals! ”
As soon as Alice's words fell, there was a cheer, which was from the Real Madrid fans who had come to demonstrate here. Alice never expected that her words would make her rated by Real Madrid fans as Real Madrid's "most ideal player partner".
Alice shouted at the fans, "Don told me that I want to say a few words to you!" He said that he was very touched by the gratitude for your support to him. The only thing he can do is focus on training and the games to get the Champions Cup for you! ”
Louder applause!
An emotional fan lit the TVE logo in his hand and shouted, "Boycott TVE!" Boycott TVE! ”
……
That night, more than 300 Real Madrid fans gathered in front of the TVE building to burn TVE's logo and demand that TVE withdraw the lawsuit. On the morning of the 4th, the number of demonstrators increased to 700, and in the evening to 2,000, causing traffic jams. Several TVE live shows were forced to cancel that night because their hosts were still stuck in traffic jams.
The trial lasted for three consecutive days, with demonstrators gathering outside the courtroom during the day and in front of the TVE building at night. On the morning of the 5th, the crowd of demonstrators in front of the Madrid District Court reached 4,000!
The Madrid police had to deploy a large number of police forces to keep the scene going. Tremendous pressure was on TVE, who believed that the number of demonstrators would grow. They used to be reporters of the news, but this time they are the subject of coverage.
According to media reports, as many of TVE's live programs have become recorded programs, their ratings have plummeted. TVE staff also expressed their dissatisfaction with the TV station because they worked longer hours. TVE had to pay subsidies to staff members in order to address their grievances.
TVE is now trapped both internally and externally!
……
On the morning of May 5, when the trial entered the most abrupt defense session, TVE suddenly asked the court for an out-of-court settlement. The Tribunal acceded to their request and adjourned the hearing for consultation.
The news reached the demonstrators outside, and the 4,000 fans erupted in loud cheers and applause. They won!
Lawyers from both sides sat down together and began to discuss a settlement. Alice and TVE executives walked out of the courtroom, and the two were quickly surrounded by the media. The fat man glanced at the black crowd in front of him, sweat began to break out on his forehead, and he groaned in his heart: Who the hell have we provoked?
"We hope to reconcile with Tang, and lawyers on both sides are urgently negotiating." The fat man left a word and left under the escort of the bodyguards.
Alice said to reporters: "We demand that the other party must apologize, this is the first condition. They may demand compensation from us, and I think their demand may be upheld by the courts, but we don't care about the money. They must apologize! ”
Alice waved to the demonstrators in thanks. The demonstrators shouted: "Victory! Victory! Victory! ”。 In their view, an out-of-court settlement is a victory and a sign that TVE is ready to compromise.
……
The reporter interpreted Alice's words and believed that Tang was willing to compensate the other party for economic losses, and also wanted the other party to apologize. The Daily Sports newspaper said sourly: "The ball bully is a billionaire, he doesn't care about money. ”
The World Sports News doesn't think so. They said: "Some people seem to only be paying attention to the current lawsuit, and not paying attention to the other lawsuit - the football tyrant countersued TVE and asked TVE to compensate him for his mental damages. ”
"If this lawsuit is linked, we can roughly sort out a strategy - the ball boss asked the other party to apologize in the first lawsuit, and he lost money. On the surface, he won his reputation and lost his money, but the money he lost here can be won back from the second lawsuit. ”
"At the end of the day, the ball has earned a reputation. And there is no loss financially. The lawsuit is over. The ball lord has earned a reputation as a 'racist fighter', and TVE has both lost its reputation and has not been able to make up for its financial losses. We have to admire the IQ of the ball tyrant! ”
The team newspaper said: "The lawsuit is not over yet, Real Madrid fans are showing their strength. The number of demonstrators is gradually increasing. said the organizers. Tomorrow the number will increase to six thousand. Under tremendous pressure. TVE opted for an out-of-court settlement. Will Don take it? We judged that he should, after all, a settlement will allow him to get out of the lawsuit as soon as possible and focus on the court. ”
"The Champions League final is still a dozen days away. Solving this problem before the final is something that many parties are willing to accept. Real Madrid officials also want the players to focus on training and matches. TVE also didn't want to turn live shows into recorded shows. ”
……
At twelve o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Jue returned home with a sports bag on his back, and Alice had already prepared a table full of good dishes and was waiting for him. Looking at the smile on Alice's face, Tang Jue knew that there was good news about it.
"TVE is asking for an out-of-court settlement, and the lawyers are negotiating. My dear, four thousand, what a formation. My dear, I'm so proud of you! ”
Alice gently hugged Tang Jue's waist, she was about the same height as him. There was no joy of victory on Tang Jue's face, the result of the negotiation had not yet come out, who knew what the result of the Dao Dao would be.
"You've done a great job!" Tang Jue gently kissed her smooth forehead and said.
Alice took him to the table and said with a smile: "This is what I should do, my life is given by you, this little thing is nothing, and we are lovers." ”
……
After lunch, Tang Jue and Alice sat on the sofa in the living room waiting for the lawyer's phone call. At one o'clock in the afternoon, the lawyer reported back that TVE could not ask for financial compensation, but they were unwilling to apologize. They demanded that Tang Jue withdraw the lawsuit against them, and that they were willing to pay appropriate compensation financially. In other words, TVE can admit the financial loss, and is not willing to apologize publicly.
Alice looked at Tang Jue in contemplation, waiting for his opinion.
"They were very generous this time, not only did they not ask us for compensation, but they also gave us money." Tang Jue sneered.
Alice thought for a moment and said: "The demonstrators turned their live shows into recorded shows, which caused a lot of dissatisfaction among viewers, and advertisers also expressed their dissatisfaction. They want to solve the problem as soon as possible with money and get the TV station back to normal to eliminate the dissatisfaction of viewers and advertisers. ”
"They are now in internal and external difficulties, so they have to solve the problem as soon as possible, and it will affect them too much if it drags on."
Tang Jue said: "In that case, why don't they apologize publicly? ”
Alice got into Tang Jue's arms and said, "They want to save face." ”
"They want to save face? So where do I put my face? My goal in this lawsuit is to get them to apologize and promise not to broadcast racist remarks in the future. If my goal is not achieved, this lawsuit will continue! ”
Hearing this, Alice sat up at once. said: "If TVE does not agree and really wants to accompany us to the end, we may lose financially." Unless ......"
Tang Jue asked, "Unless what?" ”
Alice gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind, and said: "Unless you lose in the final, we can use this to show that they have done you a mental damage and thus lost the Champions League trophy." I believe this is a good reason. ”
"If we countersue their lawsuit and you win the Champions League after the Champions League final, they have good reason to show that they didn't affect your spirit and your spirit wasn't damaged."
Tang Jue shook his head and said, "The reason you said is too far-fetched. ”
Alice retorted: "You're a footballer, the indicator of mental damage, which is your performance on the pitch, is definitely a point of contention between the two sides. When the time comes, the opposing lawyer will definitely grasp this point. ”
"If you win the championship, the other party will say that you still have a loss of spirit. If you don't win the championship, we say that you have a mental loss. (To be continued......)
