Chapter 13 Go down to the dust
{Civil First Court}
“... After leaving their jobs, Zhao Qi and Sun Nan leaked the Giti project they were responsible for handling when they were in office, and directly used the technical data of Huanyu Information Technology Company (Beijing) to engage in unfair competition, causing major economic losses to Huanyu Company. The defendant shall be liable for publishing a statement to the plaintiff for 72 consecutive hours, eliminating the impact, and compensating the plaintiff for economic losses and reasonable expenses caused by its illegal acts. ”
The judge lifted his reading glasses upwards: "Does the original defendant agree to mediation?" ”
"The defendant agreed." The defendant's lawyer raised his eyebrows, and it was clear that he had made a 180-degree turn from his previous tough attitude.
I subconsciously glanced at Gu Mingyuan in the audience, and he shook his head.
"The plaintiff did not agree to mediation."
The above facts are supported by the evidence provided by the parties, the trial transcripts, and other evidence in the case. This court found the judgment as follows:
1. Agree to all of the plaintiff's claims.
2. The defendant shall bear the case acceptance fee.
If they are not satisfied with this judgment, they may submit an appeal petition to this court within 15 days from the date of service of the judgment, and submit copies according to the number of opposing parties, and appeal to the High People's Court of this city. ”
As expected, I was packing up my materials and preparing to go back to the law firm.
"Lawyer An is very good, and he beats the opposing lawyer in court debates." Gu Mingyuan smiled lightly, his face slightly red.
There seemed to be light in his eyes, and I waved my hand again and again: "I just restored the truth of the matter one by one in court, Huanyu is not a company that competes by unscrupulous means, and it should be respected and compensated." ”
"When I was in college, I loved debating, and it really changes people." We walked out of the courtroom together.
"Well, but the cross-examination in the courts of common law countries is more exciting, and the needle is on the tip of the wheat, hearty." I answered him.
"My car is in front, if you don't mind, let's eat together?" A white Lamborghini rang out.
I looked down at my watch, it was still early, and it would be deliberate to shirk it again.
It was difficult to find a parking space at lunchtime, and when I finally parked my car and walked into the restaurant, I realized that the morning trial had exhausted all my energy.
Gu Mingyuan and I walked side by side, took two quick steps and pushed open the glass door of the restaurant, and pulled out a chair for me.
The waiter of "Savadika" bows neatly, and as far as the eye can see, there are vine-woven sofas everywhere, and the eyes are full of Thai ornaments, which is quite Southeast Asian.
"How's Thai food?" He handed me the menu.
"I can do it, you can have some."
"Are there any taboos?"
"Hmm... Don't be too spicy. "Tomorrow when you have acne is joy and sorrow.
The first is pumpkin pudding, and the upper layer is a pudding made of steamed eggs, which has a fragrant aroma; The lower layer is a soft and fragrant pumpkin flesh that compensates for the richness of the pudding. The second dish is Indonesian-style grilled chicken, which is marinated in curry for a long time and then grilled in an open oven, where the chicken is tender and delicious, and the curry is fragrant and fragrant. The third dish is the yellow beef curry, which is diluted a lot with coconut milk. The next dish is mango sticky rice, a simple dish with soft and glutinous rice and juicy mango, which is crispy in a bite of the rich coconut aroma. This is followed by a Vietnamese-style grapefruit seafood salad, which is made with fresh grapefruit meat and shrimp, crab fillet, squid and other ingredients, with a slightly spicy taste and a unique fruity sour flavor mixed with pomelo meat. The last course is the famous Thai Tom Yum Soup, which captures the essence of Thai cuisine, with red and green colors and a variety of spices to enhance the flavor and rich taste. Coupled with a pot of freshly brewed Thai milk tea, the taste is warm.
"This Thai restaurant is new, and it's my first time eating it." Gu Mingyuan poured a cup of hot milk tea and put it in front of me.
"Thank you, Director Gu, the taste is quite authentic. I remember CNN did a survey and the results showed that Thai cuisine is the most accepted cuisine in the world. ”
"That's true. The most important thing in Thai cuisine is the secret recipe of the seasoning, and once it is passed on, the taste is not unique. Gu Mingyuan said.
A spoonful of Tom Yum Gong soup is sour and spicy.
"In a case like this one, although the case was won, due to the needs of the court trial, the technical information should be disclosed as evidence in accordance with the law, in other words, the trade secrets were forced to be leaked, and even if a certain amount of compensation was obtained, the impact on Huanyu was difficult to measure in money."
I know that Gu Mingyuan's words have a deep meaning, and it is better to understand that people should speak clearly. For a large company like Huanyu, technology is the capital, although the capital is abundant, but with the speed of software update is accelerating, the time to start a lawsuit is simply not wasted.
Gu Mingyuan didn't speak, he gently supported his chin with his hand, and listened with interest.
"In the current situation in China, in my personal opinion, companies should make their own plans to protect trade secrets, and cannot rely solely on the law. For example, the business information of the enterprise can be identified and cataloged, the level of trade secrets can be determined, and different protection measures can be implemented; It is also possible to encrypt documents and restrict access to them; Pay attention to the signing of confidentiality agreements and non-compete agreements; It is also necessary to train employees on the protection of trade secrets and strengthen their awareness of protection. These measures may seem basic, but they have been effective. ”
"Reasonable," Gu Mingyuan nodded after hearing this, "The legal department of Huanyu's Beijing headquarters is struggling to operate, and it is in urgent need of talents to deal with daily legal issues, I don't know if you are interested?" ”
Oh, what does that mean?
The daily work of the company's in-house counsel is to formulate and revise contract texts, handle relevant legal affairs, provide advice and legal opinions, and formulate various legal documents of the company. Preventing risks and handling things prudently is the basic tone of the work, and striving for no dispute and no litigation is the fundamental goal.
If you want to deal with the company's legal issues, you either jump from Party B to Party A, leave from V.A to join Huanyu, and become the company's legal counsel thoroughly, or you can enter into a perennial legal counsel contract with the company as a lawyer and act as an agent for related legal affairs. Even if you retain the status of a lawyer and stay in the company, you will have a lot less freedom to choose the case.
I have to look up with Gu Mingyuan every day and don't look down...
There was the sizzling sound of soup in my ears, and a magnetic voice sounded, "Don't be pressured, Vice President Xiao mentioned to me before, maybe I will talk to you in a few days, I just asked you in advance." ”
The fingers of my right hand alternately shook on the mouth of my left hand, and I thought for a while and said, "Thank you Director Gu and Vice President Xiao for your trust, but I still have to discuss this matter with my boss, I can't be the master." ”
There was no promise or clear refusal, the decision at the dinner table was the same as the confession after twelve o'clock, the head was hot, regardless of it, and if I thought about it in a few days, I would definitely pinch my thigh and shout and regret it.
"Okay," Gu Mingyuan also knew that such an answer was pertinent, and his identity was not good enough to say anything, "I look forward to becoming a colleague with you." ”
Being able to become a director at a young age is inseparable from this ability to judge the situation and observe words and feelings.
At the end of the long day, I stood in front of you, only afraid that the mood that liked you at that time would repeat the mistakes of the past, and I was afraid that you would see traces of liking and admiration at that time. In the face of love, I am so humble, relying on the words of the workplace to communicate with you, I dare not ask you to see any of my mood swings, as if I want to go down to the dust.
That's not good.
Because it's not me.
