Chapter 709: Sky-high claims

"Duke, can you sue in the United States? Can we still sue the FBI? Hearing Duke say this, Cai Siqiang shook for a moment, and his head began to have some intermittent short circuits, which was too big.

Now Cai Siqiang has not jumped out of the thinking of how to solve this matter, Duke actually began to think of fighting a huge compensation lawsuit, although Cai Siqiang is a rare business talent among the young generation in China, he has no experience of living in a Western country like the United States, although he has traveled back and forth to Western countries many times to deal with many major business issues, including the previous big incident involving a fairly wide range of nuclear power plant access turmoil, Cai Siqiang is also a big man who has been in the big scene for a long time.

However, Cai Siqiang still does not understand the characteristics of the West, especially the United States, which is a magical country with hundreds of thousands of lawsuits and more than one million lawyers every year, accounting for more than half of the total number of lawyers in the world.

And in these many civil lawsuits, in addition to "the masses fighting the masses" and "the masses fighting the company" and "the company fighting the company", there are also many dramas of "P people fighting the government", and individuals directly target the government in various unreasonable governance claims and lawsuits, and many of these cases are really P people who have won the lawsuit and obtained very considerable civil compensation, which is very difficult for people like Cai Siqiang to imagine who have grown up under the red flag.

"Of course you can fight, they are unreasonably infringing on our interests. Nana, you know, there was an incident where the U.S. government nationalized the group by providing a bailout loan to aig during the financial crisis more than a decade ago. Guess what happened to the company's former CEO after dodging the financial crisis? Duke said with a smile, completely recovering from the surprise he felt when he received the news.

Even Duke is now starting to see this as a new opportunity for himself.

"Can he still sue the company back?" Cai Siqiang really has no experience in this area, and just guesses from the most incredible place according to Duke's question.

"Of course, if they don't come back, they are already the largest shareholders after the capital injection." Duke shook his head, "He filed a civil claim complaint with the U.S. Federal Claims Court, claiming that the U.S. government's takeover of AIG was unconstitutional, and claimed $25 billion in damages from the U.S. government." ”

When Cai Siqiang heard Duke say this, his brain couldn't keep up at all, and he looked at Duke dumbfounded, "Is this okay?!" After being stunned for a while, Cai Siqiang swallowed a mouthful of water and said with some difficulty.

"Of course you can, although this claim was ultimately unsuccessful, but this is the United States. In order to achieve the rule of law rather than the rule of man, they have enacted various laws to regulate all aspects of behavior and governance, and to ensure that everyone has the so-called equal rights. As a result, there is a lot of legal documents, and it would be great if the average lawyer could be proficient in every very specialized narrow field, which is why there are many lawyers in the United States.

However, because the cost of litigation in the United States is not cheap because there are many lawyers, on the contrary, the cost of these protracted lawsuits is extremely high, often costing tens of millions of dollars, according to the general situation, ordinary people should not be able to afford this kind of lawsuit at all, but it is very strange that things are not so simple.

Due to the existence of provisions on punitive high damages, for example, a civil lawsuit involving a large company in which someone actually loses tens of thousands of dollars involves a large company, and once punitive damages are awarded, it will become a big deal of millions or even tens of millions of dollars, so many people are eyeing this piece of fat, and a new industry has also been born in the United States that specializes in fighting or even acquiring civil compensation lawsuits.

If you really have a claim lawsuit that may get punitive damages, they will take the initiative to come to the door and offer to pay the lawyer's fees for you in the early stage of the lawsuit, and obtain benefits through the compensation sharing after the success of the huge claim, and completely market these civil claims and lawsuits, the strange thing is that this method of operation is completely reasonable and legal in the United States, so there is almost nothing that cannot be traded in the United States, which is the most complete commercial society under the sun. Duke explained.

"I'll go! ......" Cai Siqiang really agreed, "This is okay, doesn't it mean that our seizure this time is very likely to be a blessing in disguise?" Maybe we can use this incident to make a lot of money through the lawsuit? ”

"It's entirely possible. If the FBI does not produce strong evidence to prove that their actions are in full compliance with the requirements of US law, then we can file a claim for it, and the FBI's losses and a series of other losses such as the company's losses and executives' mental losses must be clearly calculated by the FBI. "Clay people have three points of earthiness, not to mention that Duke is not a pawn who can be stepped on now, he was plotted by the CIA last time, Duke has not had a chance to get back on the field, and this time he was hacked by the FBI, how can Duke be so angry again.

He sneered and said, "This time they seized our investment fund companies, and also threatened to investigate our offshore investment companies overseas, no matter what I say behind the scenes, this time they are the wrong idea." There is nothing unscrupulous about the business itself of our companies, and they want to find some evidence of insider trading out of nothing, and I don't think they have the ability to do so.

But for the FBI and the CIA, it is their forte to plant blame or something, and now the most important thing for us is to prevent them from co-opting our company executives to frame and smear the company, Caicai, this time you go back and quickly contact the executives of those fund companies who were taken away, so that they don't say anything when they don't have a lawyer, don't sign any documents, and tell them that we have to ask the best team of lawyers to get justice for them.

At the same time, it is also necessary to let the lawyer keep an eye on all the existing business materials of our companies, apply for evidence preservation, and prevent others from dropping the bag. This time it happened so suddenly, I think there must be some saying behind this incident, we have to do what we can do so that we don't get taken advantage of. ”

"Judging from the operation of our companies, as long as we, the investment fund executives, are not tossed against us by them, we will win this lawsuit. Then we can launch a sky-high claim to fight back and get justice for the company and these executives. We need to make it clear that no one can touch our SAL companies right now, not even the FBI. ”

"Caicai, you have to do things on both sides, the lawyer team that focuses on claims should be the first choice of influential barristers, don't be afraid of spending money, we want to make the momentum bigger, you can find the most famous barristers in Europe and the United States in this area to join the team of lawyers, find time to talk to the old Li family, see if they have any good suggestions, once this lawsuit starts, let the media at home and abroad follow up the whole process, so that even if the Americans want to do anything, they will have scruples, we don't want these investment fund companies, Make them pay enough too! ”

From Duke's point of view, it is obvious that this matter is inseparable from the US government, and although it is not impossible for competitors in the market to be possible, Duke believes that without the support of a strong agency such as the FBI or the CIA, these competitors do not have so much energy to do such a big thing.

"Okay, isn't it just burning money, we can afford to play this completely, I don't believe that our brothers will work together, even if they can't bite a piece of their flesh, they will be disgraced." Cai Siqiang has been successfully changed the direction of Duke's thinking, and it has also aroused the morale of the US government to fight, and in the current situation, even if the FBI is willing to let go of the situation now, he will not give up.

Just like Duke said, now SAL is the world's brightest business star, I don't know how many people want to rush up and take a bite, in the past, relying on the complex equity relationship woven by the military commission boss Liu and Cai Siqiang, as well as the industrial structure scattered around the world, to establish their own huge business empire, so that idlers can not shake it at all.

Now, if the FBI can successfully crack the outstretched claws of the US government, I believe that those who harbor a voyeuristic mentality will have to think twice. At this point, Cai Siqiang fully understands how to proceed, and the rest of the things don't need to be said by Duke, and some are operated by top professionals.

And Duke is now spending all his efforts on the debugging and improvement of the electromagnetic wave directional beam energy emitter prototype in the Lotus base, according to the initial test of the electromagnetic wave directional beam energy emitter prototype designed by Billem, the power is far from meeting the expected indicators, and now the people in the Lotus base are a little helpless for further improvements, for this situation, Duke has long expected.

Because of the design scheme derived from the pure theory of Billem, if there is no problem, it is a fantasy, but fortunately, in Duke's experience, although there are such and such problems in the specific design of Billem, there has never been any problem in the groundbreaking principle innovation, and the problems that arise now are usually caused by unqualified materials or manufacturing processes that cannot meet the requirements.

It would be a tragedy for a modern firearms designer to travel back in time to the Middle Ages to design a musket, and still think in terms of modern materials and craftsmanship. The longer Bilem comes into contact with him, Duke certainly knows that the gap between Earth technology and what Bilem has and understands is even greater than the time we travel back to the Middle Ages from modern times, so it is normal for Duke to have some problems with Bilem's design.

The FBI seized Duke's overseas funds, and Duke no longer cared about it after explaining it to Cai Siqiang, and Snyder did touch Duke's hidden interests, but what surprised Snyder was that after Duke explained to Cai Siqiang, he no longer cared about this matter at all, for Duke, this matter was just an episode, and he only needed to listen to Cai Siqiang's results, and he was not affected by this incident at all.
