Chapter 296: Cooperation

Although the two of them also know that if they continue to do this, they will drink to quench their thirst, and the more thirsty they are, the more they will eat salt, not only will they not solve the problem, but they will also put their old books into it, but there is no way, they have to send it when the arrow is ready.

Since the beginning of the previous year, Peng Huayan persuaded her husband Zou Qiang to shrink his business, return funds in time, and prepare for transformation, but he is used to working in the real estate industry, and it is absolutely not profitable to switch to other industries, and they don't understand high-tech. In the end, after Zou Qiang decided to finish the last project, he washed his hands and prepared for retirement.

But things often backfired, although most of the debt holes have been plugged, but the company's operation is getting worse and worse, arrears of workers' wages and construction units more and more, the company began to become insolvent.

In order to continue to operate the company, Zou Qiang concealed the truth and instructed the company's sales staff to sign a commercial housing sales contract with customers in the name of the company last year, and sold the six houses of the Huafu project that had been sold again (one house and two sales), defrauding the six customers of a total of RMB 2.1 million in house purchases, and all the proceeds were used to pay the company's rent, employees' salaries, and repay debts.

After receiving the report of the deceived customer, the district public security bureau filed a case for investigation and arrested Zou Qiang and related personnel, after which the procuratorate approved the arrest, and the district procuratorate prosecuted Zou Qiang for the crime of contract fraud and filed a public prosecution with the district court.

After an open trial, the district court found that the defendant Zou Qiang had committed the crime of contract fraud and sentenced him to 13 years imprisonment and a fine of 500,000 yuan.

This is what happened in the past, Peng Huayan has been following her husband to manage the company, so she is more familiar with what happened. In order to protect Peng Huayan, Zou Qiang did not let her participate in this matter, and she was spared.

"According to you, I think this case should be a one-house sale.

Article 8(2) of the Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Law in the Trial of Cases Involving Disputes over Commercial Housing Sales Contracts, which came into effect on June 1, 2003, clearly stipulates this kind of situation, which is a typical civil case and should not involve contract fraud.

Have you offended someone? Fang Yi's first reaction was that someone wanted to use this matter to get them.

"There are indeed people who want to mess with us, and I only found out after the fact, one of the six buyers has something to do with the above, and it is said that he said hello. We can't lose money. Peng Huayan said.

From the bottom of her heart, she still admires the middle-aged male lawyer in front of her, if nothing else, because he can push out the crux of the case from the simple facts of the case (at least she thinks so), unlike the previous lawyers who either talked about any legal terms, or openly and secretly wanted to tell her that they had a relationship and spent money to avoid disasters!

"Well, I think this kind of thing is nothing more than two results, the first is that their strength is very strong, and Mr. Zou has no chance in the first and second trials, of course, there is still a way to go, that is, to apply for a retrial, I think there are still opportunities.

Second, their strength is not enough, and they can only settle some people, and the first trial of Mr. Zou may be reversed in the second instance. Personally, I think that's more likely. Of course, in addition to the professional ability of the lawyer, it also depends on luck. Fang Yi said.

"Well, Lawyer Fang, if I entrust you to defend my husband, how will I pay the lawyer's fees?" Peng Huayan nodded and asked.

This began to inquire, it seems that there is hope for this case to be signed, and Fang Yi was overjoyed.

"If you entrust me to represent your husband in the case, the lawyer's fee will be 150,000." The quotation has always been a headache for Fang Yi, he doesn't know how much to quote, at this time he regrets a little, if Xie Youhe is by his side, he will definitely be able to help him quote a price that the other party can accept, and he will not suffer a loss.

"Well, Lawyer Fang, I'll go back and think about it, and I'll contact you again if it's decided. Thank you very much for providing me with legal advice, I looked at the consultation fee list on your desk, I consulted for almost an hour, this is 500 yuan consultation fee. Peng Huayan said and took out 500 yuan and handed it over.

Fang Yi returned to the workstation, feeling a little pity in his heart, I don't know why, he always felt that the case was not signed on the spot because of his own quotation.

"The case was not signed?" Xie Youhe leaned over and asked in a low voice.

"Well, maybe the offer is too high!" Fang Yi said with a look of regret.

"Sometimes you have to look at the edge of the case when you sign a case, the other party thinks you can do it, he will sign a contract no matter how much you report, he doesn't trust you enough, and if you drop to 1,000 yuan, he will also say to think about it again. So you don't have to suffer so much, it's that you can't run sooner or later. Xie Youhe advised.

"I hope so!" Fang Yi smiled, turned around and began to review the contract sent by the consultant unit.

"After a while, a lawyer Ma came over, he is a friend of Boss Gu, lawyer Ma has a criminal case and wants to cooperate with us, you can talk to him later." Xie Youhe said.

Fang Yi agreed.

Since Fang Yi joined Goldstone Law Firm, he has participated in several trainings in the firm and has also met many fellow lawyers.

Because he is kind and angry, he never hides his personal interests when discussing cases with his peers, so many lawyers have a good impression of him, and many lawyers will come to him to discuss criminal cases that they don't understand.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Yi met Lawyer Ma in the conference room, Lawyer Ma was in his forties, dressed very well, and looked very gentle with gold-rimmed glasses.

"Hello lawyer Fang, my surname is Ma, Ma Banshan. I have been friends with you for many years, and I have a case on hand and would like to hear your opinion. After a few words of greeting, Lawyer Ma got straight to the point. After speaking, he handed a case file to Fang Yi.

"I went to the court to get this case file, and I have already met the defendant, who is one of my clients, and basically I am working on their company's case. Let me tell you about the specific situation...... "Mr. Ma said.

There is a consulting unit in Ma Banshan, and the company's CEO is surnamed Hu, who started lending business in February 2010. In June of the same year, the lending app began to be launched.

The business model of Mr. Hu is very simple: through third-party drainage to attract borrowers to the company's APP platform to borrow, the software interface will show the loan amount of 1,080 yuan, the loan period is 7 days, the service fee is 620 yuan, the repayment due is 1,700 yuan, and the overdue fee is 50 yuan/day.

After the borrower agrees, the borrower will lend $1,080 to the borrower's account. If the borrower is unable to repay the loan on time when due, the borrower may choose to pay an extension fee of $620 to defer repayment. If the borrower fails to repay the loan on time, the company's collection team will harass the borrower and his relatives and friends by "exploding the address book", so as to achieve the purpose of collection.
