Chapter 164: Case Investigation
Lawyer Zhang was not idle during this time, and his energy was all focused on the car accident of Dongfang Cheung.
After leaving the railway station and railway department that day, Mr. Zhang did a series of work in full swing.
First, the families of the two deceased were contacted, and before the accident responsibility determination was issued, they reached a settlement with each other in private.
According to Dongfang Shenglong's meaning, he tried his best to meet the other party's requirements, and finally compensated the families of the two deceased with 1.2 million yuan each, and the other party signed a letter of understanding.
Of course, the object of this letter of understanding refers to the driver of the Mercedes-Benz, which is Fat Three according to the situation at the time.
With these two letters of understanding, there is no doubt that if Fat San still needs to bear criminal responsibility, it can be reduced.
The opinion of the railway department is very important, especially for the loss of the railway, if the compensation is not in place, Fat San will still be held criminally responsible.
With these two letters of understanding, Lawyer Zhang paid a large amount of deposit, and Fat San was temporarily released, which was yesterday.
As for the specific losses on the railway, Mr. Zhang conducted an in-depth investigation. There are many aspects involved in this matter, and Qiao Xiaofei offered to help, including her, as well as her entire law firm, all involved in this matter.
Fortunately, the law firm that I had worked with before was more proficient in railway cases, and the two sides jointly conducted an investigation.
The results of the investigation were very unexpected.
The loss of the train itself is not as serious as the railway department said, there are not more than a billion, the entire train was sent to a professional maintenance plant, and it cost a total of 2 million from detection to repair.
The railway authorities were also amazed, and the so-called experts were even more incredulous.
But that's just the way it is.
The biggest controversy between the two sides is the operating loss of the railway, which has different algorithms and different results, and the difference is huge.
According to the calculation method of the railway, there are really billions, to be specific, about 3.2 billion.
According to the calculation of the lawyer team, it is only about 500 million.
The specific amount of compensation is being negotiated between the two parties.
As for the compensation for those injured, Lawyer Zhang's work was also done in front, but fortunately with the help of Qiao Xiaofei's law firm, otherwise he would not be able to do it alone.
The list of train passengers from the railway department, including the crew, is contacted individually one by one.
Talking about this, Lawyer Zhang smiled a little wryly.
"It's still late for us to get in touch, even if it's a day in the morning, we can save a lot of work and run a lot of errands. Due to our late move, a lot of travel expenses were spent. ”
It turned out that on the day of the car accident, the injured passengers and flight attendants were sent to major hospitals in Dongrun, and there were all five hospitals.
The vast majority of people suffered minor injuries, and many went home without being hospitalized after treating their wounds.
Those with slightly more serious injuries, even those who were in the hospital, were discharged three days later.
This would have been a good thing, the shorter the hospitalization time of the wounded, the less money they would spend, and the smaller the losses of Dongrun Shipbuilding Group.
However, not all of these passengers are from Dongrun City, the vast majority of them are outsiders, and there are natural Haibei, and the train is a passing car, and Dongyun City is not the terminal station, and passengers are all over the country, resulting in this situation.
In order to do things rigorously and without mistakes, the compensation that should be compensated is in place, even if the other party gives up the compensation, there must be a written commitment.
This has greatly increased the workload of lawyers.
Passengers who are good at talking are willing to actively cooperate and send relevant bills and materials to the law firm.
But after all, there are still some people who are not actively cooperating, and lawyers have to go on a business trip, and they may have to run thousands of kilometers for a bill and a letter of commitment.
More than 1,000 injured passengers, more than a dozen lawyers have been running for a month and have not finished running, but fortunately, it is nearing the end.
Hearing this, Ye Lingshuang was a little embarrassed, and she couldn't tell Lawyer Zhang that at that time, for the sake of the patient, she was momentarily discouraged, and in three days, almost all the patients in the five major hospitals in Dongrun City were cured. They were discharged from the hospital and left, causing Lawyer Zhang and others to do more work and spend a lot of unnecessary expenses.
Ye Lingshuang felt a little ashamed, and she was kind enough to help, but she couldn't say it.
Mr. Zhang also mentioned the compensation for the vehicle.
At the scene of the car accident, the insurance company has taken photos for evidence. The total amount of insurance is 5.2 million, and the insurance company is reluctant to talk to Mr. Zhang about the amount of compensation.
It wasn't until the liability determination came down that the insurance company had to formally face the matter.
Mercedes-Benz sedan is fully responsible, and 5.2 million is not enough for compensation. After several rounds of negotiations, the insurance company finally agreed to pay the full amount, including the vehicle itself. This credit is all due to Qiao Xiaofei's lawyer team, which came up with a lot of useful ideas, but the insurance company couldn't bear it, so it agreed, but fortunately, this matter did not go to the litigation stage.
The overall investigation of the case is basically the case at present. Now, when the results of the negotiations with the railway authorities are obtained, and the specific amount of compensation for operating losses is available, the compensation can be arranged.
Finally, Mr. Zhang emphasized.
If the real driver is not traced, the accident can be closed in a blur. But the chairman was not satisfied with such a result. The real driver who caused the accident must be found out, and he will see who it is.
Dongfang Shenglong is more concerned about who caused it, his eldest son Dongfang Xiangqi has been in a coma for so long, even if he woke up, he lost his memory.
Think about it, it was a car accident, which not only injured Dongfang Cheung Kei and damaged the shipping group, but more importantly, affected the future development of the Dongfang family. As the helmsman of Dongrun Shipbuilding Group, Dongfang Shenglong will definitely not let go of this perpetrator easily.
That's the most important thing.
Lawyer Zhang mentioned by the way that in order to be able to pay compensation, the chairman has arranged a follow-up.
He first ran the bank loan himself.
The bank's news is very well-informed, even if Dongfang Shenglong said that the reason for the loan was reinvestment for the development of the enterprise, the bank also thought of compensation and rejected him.
Dongfang Shenglong ran eight banks, and these bankers seemed to be ventilated, none of them wanted to lend to him, at least in the near future, and the euphemism was to wait for a while.
If this money can't be implemented, how can Dongfang Shenglong's state of mind be realistic?
He couldn't wait.
As a result, a series of measures were taken within the enterprise.
As he said, large orders work with peers in order to reduce large investments. Small orders can be sold, can be transferred, can be let go, if it can't be returned.
The problem is that such a toss, coupled with the company's liquidity, is not enough to make up billions, and to embezzle these funds, it must be approved by the board of directors.
For this, Dongfang Shenglong has prepared all his personal deposits.
He planned to use the working capital of the three subsidiaries, and Dongfang Xiangrui basically agreed, and even said that he would contribute his personal money.
Dongfang Xianglin also said in a high-profile manner that the money of Fahai Company can be used casually, but he really does not have much money in his personal hands, and he can only take out 10 million.
Finally, there is the Xinghai company. Lin Weiya became the temporary acting manager, cooperated with the chairman very much, expressed her full support, and all the money of Xinghai Company was handed over to the head office for compensation.
As for the money in Dongfang Xiangqi's personal hands, he has no right to dispose of it. Dongfang Cheung Kei was in a coma and could not be authorized. Now that he is awake, he has lost his memory, and it is better not to have his money for the time being.
Lin Weiya's posture is indeed very high, saying that she can personally take out 3 million, because she has so much money on hand, she has taken it out, and it has been handed over to the head office free of charge.
Dongfang Shenglong was still very moved, especially the two sons, as well as Lin Weiya's attitude, and praised them a lot.
There are many things to consider, and there are various reasons, so that the board of directors has not been convened for a long time, and the embezzlement of the company's funds has not been discussed.
Fortunately, it was not said that after the lawyer team investigated the general compensation for the railway, Dongfang Shenglong was not in a hurry to hold a board meeting, and waited for a while.
If it is less than 1 billion, it will not cost the group company much money, and it must be easy for the board of directors to pass, but if there is more money, you have to think of other methods.
Lawyer Zhang is usually very strict, otherwise he would not have been able to stay by the old chairman's side for so many years, if it weren't for Wang Yina's appearance at Dongfang Shenglong's house, he should still be guarding the chairman now.
There are many things involved in the case, and Lawyer Zhang is concise and to the point, basically making it clear to Ye Lingshuang.
His last words were very interesting to Ye Lingshuang.
"Listening to what Dongfang Shenglong said, Dongfang Xiangqi especially hopes that Miss Ye will accompany him, as long as you are there, his mind will be very clear. With your prompting, it's easy to recover some of your memories. If you're not there, he'll feel confused and confused. I hope Miss Ye will help him a lot. ”
Seeing a subtle smile on the corner of Lawyer Zhang's mouth, I felt that he had something to say, but he was just smiling.
Qiao Xiaofei is very direct.
"Miss Ye has to seize the opportunity!"
What opportunity she asked her to seize, it goes without saying that Ye Lingshuang is not familiar with her, and she doesn't want to say more in this regard, so she quickly changes the topic.
She thought of Liu Sha, and after finding the videos she provided on her mobile phone, she forwarded them to Lawyer Zhang.
"This is a video clip taken from the gate of Xinghai Company, the afternoon of the accident. I don't know if these videos can help Lawyer Zhang or inspire them. ”
She didn't mention Lin Weiya's name, and she was only suspicious of Lin Weiya, without any direct evidence, so it was too hasty to say it.
Lawyer Zhang and Qiao Xiaofei watched the video content on the spot.
Lawyer Zhang said with a serious expression:
"These videos are important, and although they cannot be used as direct evidence, they give us important revelations."
Lawyer Zhang did not want to disclose too much about the investigation of the driver who caused the accident, and he has not yet investigated it.
Bite one's tongue.
There was a brief silence.
Ye Lingshuang looked at Qiao Xiaofei and said with a smile:
"You shouldn't have come to visit Manager Dongfang alone, are there other things?"
Lawyer Zhang and Qiao Xiaofei were surprised and asked almost at the same time:
"How do you know?"
