Chapter 266: Everyone's Demeanor

Lin Nan's request was beyond Sister Xu's expectations, she originally thought that Guan Yuntian and Lin Nan were just friends brought by Lao Ma to attend the dinner, but she didn't expect that Lin Nan was also very concerned about yesterday's incident, and she also made a request to her in person.

"Lin Nan, Director Ma said that he would bring two people here, but I didn't expect these two people to be you and Mr. Guan, do you say that our sisters are destined? To be honest, even if you didn't come, I would have to give Director Ma this face in the end, and now that you have come forward, whether it is specially here for this purpose or not, I have to give this face even more. The fashionable woman had a stiff smile on her face.

"Boss Xu, then I thank you! You replace wine with tea, I respect you!"

"Director Ma, it's not enough to just thank me verbally, you have to take your wife to visit my jade jewelry store more. It seems to be a casual joke, this is what fashionable women really think.

"Ouch, I don't know anything about jewelry and jade, if I have the opportunity, I will definitely suggest it to her, but you have those high-end jade jewelry, I'm afraid she won't have the money to buy it!"

"Director Ma, don't pretend to be poor, a big leader like you, I'm afraid that my jewelry is not of high quality, right? Please rest assured, there are hundreds of jade jewelry in our store, and there is always one suitable for her. "This woman started talking about business at dinner.

Seeing that Guan Yuntian was indifferent, Lin Nan picked up the teacup to express his gratitude, "Sister Xu, I also thank you! I respect you, let's replace wine with tea." ”

At this point, Sister Xu really couldn't push it off, "Director Ma, Lin Nan, for your sake, I'll call the media now to withdraw the news, but you also have to tell the leaders of the property company, and let them strictly discipline the employees of the property company, and they can't treat me like that in the future." ”

Sister Xu called the five major media on the spot, and asked to withdraw the news as the person concerned. At this point, the media crisis has finally passed.

After the business was done, there was inevitably some small talk at the dinner, and Director Ma said: "Boss Xu, do you want to know the relationship between this Changda property company and Mr. Guan and their Changda Group?"

"What's the matter? Could it be that this property company has something to do with Mr. Guan and their Changda Group?"

"Truth be told, Changda Property Company is a subsidiary of Changda Real Estate Company, isn't your community developed by Changda Real Estate? and Changda Real Estate is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Changda Group. Did I make that clear enough?" said the old horse.

"What? Could it be that the property company is under the jurisdiction of the general manager?" the fashionable woman was a little confused.

Lin Nan took over the conversation, "That's right, Changda Property Company is our subordinate management body, if I had known about this situation, I would have come to you a long time ago." ”

"Yes, I asked Lin Nan to check your situation at that time, but I didn't tell her anything, which was really a big spare. "Guan Yuntian said.

"Boss Xu, I can also tell you one thing, with the connections of Changda Group and Mr. Guan, they have made great contributions to our local economic construction and social development, if they raise it to the relevant leaders and departments, the competent agencies of those media will detain your message with just a phone call. It's just that they don't want to trouble the leader, and they want to calm things down, so they choose to find a way to let you withdraw the message yourself. I have to say that Changda Group does things with everyone's demeanor. ”

Director Ma's words are undoubtedly a kind warning to Sister Xu, telling her not to think that her willfulness is unstoppable.

......

For more than a month, Yuan Guogang assisted the lawyer to prepare for the filing of legal proceedings against the owners of the arrears of property fees in various communities, and Changda Property Company manages more than 10 residential communities, and there are no less than two or three hundred owners in arrears of property fees, according to Mr. Zhao, the perennial legal counsel of Changda Group

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The team of lawyers led by him believes that there are many litigation objects involved and should be carried out in phases and batches, and Yuan Guogang suggested starting with the community where malicious arrears are concentrated.

Because half of the owners of Building 5 of Jinping Garden Community are in arrears of property fees, the community is undoubtedly the community with the highest concentration of malicious arrears, and according to Yuan Guogang's suggestion, the lawyer team first sued the owners of the community who were in arrears of property fees.

After receiving the court summons, these owners realized that the property company was serious this time, because some owners had never dealt with the court, as soon as the property company took them to court, they wanted to file a lawsuit with them, and they took the initiative to pay the property fee without waiting for the court to open, and Changda Property Company also took the initiative to withdraw the charges against this part of the owners.

For those owners who are indifferent, the court has to hold a hearing on time.

The property company is represented by a team of lawyers led by Mr. Zhao, the perennial legal counsel of Changda Group, and of course it is impossible for the defendant owners to hire lawyers, and they all appear in court by themselves.

Except for more than a dozen households with such and such special reasons, the remaining 30 or so owners jointly defended themselves, believing that the property management fees were too high and did not recognize the cost accounting of the property management company, so they refused to pay the property fees.

Among the owners with special reasons, there is a family living on the first floor of the main business that the management of the community is not in place, and the rat control has not been successful, resulting in the rat entering her home, and her husband was bitten by the rat in the process of catching the mouse, which became the reason for her to default on the property fee.

For Mr. Zhao's team, this kind of defense is as easy as chatting in front of professional lawyers, and those owners who appear in court by themselves are very different, some people have seen the world, their expression skills are also good, and they can state the facts and reasons clearly, and some owners do not even have the logic to speak, and they are hesitant for a long time, not only did the judge not understand what he wanted to express, but even he did not know what he finally said.

In the face of this kind of civil dispute, the presiding judge first mediated, and after a long time of verbal speech, the mediation finally failed, and the judge had to announce that the case would be heard in public the next day.

In court, the plaintiff's agent was a professional lawyer, and the plaintiff itself had sufficient reasons, and the lawyer only took ten minutes to make a complete and clear statement. The defense was gossiping, noisy and shouting, and did not know what to do, which made the judge have a headache when he heard it.

"Silence!" the presiding judge raised the gavel in his hand and slammed it down, "This is the courtroom, not the farmers' market, the courtroom is a serious place, please speak in an orderly manner!"

The scene immediately calmed down, and the judge continued: "The meaning of the plaintiff's agent is very clear, no matter what the defendant has, please speak one by one, and you must not only state the reasons, but also produce relevant evidence worthy of the court's acceptance in order to be supported by the court." ”

"Evidence, what evidence?" the owner of the first court was at a loss, not understanding what the judge meant.

The judge patiently explained: "For example, if you say that the cost accounting of the property management company is not correct, the charges are too high, and you just speak by feeling, it will not play any role in the court, and you have to come up with a set of convincing accounting methods, otherwise, no matter how much you shout, it will be useless; ”

"But as far as we know, the property fees in some communities are lower than our Jinping Garden, doesn't that explain the problem?" asked the owner.

"The management costs are different for each community, and there is no comparability between communities, which cannot be evidence. In court, you can't just doubt it, if you think that Changda Property Company's fees are too high, you have to come up with convincing evidence to prove the unreasonableness of their fees. The judge explained.

"Comrade Judge,

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

You asked us to get the medical certificate and the evidence of a rat bite at home, where are we going to find such evidence?"

"I'm really sorry, I can't help you with this problem, the court only looks at the evidence. If you think about it, if you say it with your mouth, everyone will say it, and in the end, who do we listen to? Therefore, regardless of the plaintiff or defendant, we will always use evidence to speak in court. ”

The courtroom suddenly fell silent, and the presiding judge announced: "The trial is adjourned today, and the trial will be retried in a week, and all parties are requested to prepare their own evidence." ”

Seven days later, the trial was held again, and those owners who accused the property owners of the high property fees were still talking and feeling, and they could not come up with any evidence or a set of data to prove their correctness.

The owner, who claimed that her husband had been bitten by a rat, could not produce proof that he had been hospitalized at the time, let alone prove that he had been bitten by a rat at home.

The judge declared the plaintiff in favor of the case and ordered the defendant to pay off the arrears of property fees and a certain percentage of late fees within the specified time.

Out of humanitarian considerations, the court recommended that Changda Property Company bear all the legal costs, and Yuan Guogang asked the group company for instructions, and Guan Yuntian agreed to bear the costs.

Just as the judge was about to announce the end of the trial, seven or eight owners applied to speak, and one owner raised his hand and said to the judge: "Several of us have roughly the same demands, and we ask the court to give us a chance to make a final statement." ”

"Yes, one of you will choose one representative to speak. The judge agreed.

The representatives of several owners stated: "It is our fault that we have been in arrears for a long time, on the one hand, we want to seek the plaintiff's forgiveness, and on the other hand, because of the different reasons of our owners, the family's financial situation is very bad, we want to apply to the plaintiff through the court, can we reduce our property fees as appropriate?"

"This ...... The judge pauses for a few seconds, and then says, "The court has no such rights and obligations, and this has to be asked of the plaintiff's attorney." Lawyer Zhao, can you agree to the requests of these owners?"

"We can't call the shots about this kind of thing, we have to ask the person in charge of the unit. Lawyer Zhao said.

"Okay, adjourn for half an hour, lawyer Zhao, you should hurry up and communicate with the plaintiff. The judge announced.

Lawyer Zhao came to the corridor outside the courtroom, and he called Yuan Guogang, the acting general manager of the property company, to inform him of this special situation.

"Waiver of property fees? Ouch, I can't make the decision on this matter, lawyer Zhao, wait a minute, I will ask the leaders of the group company for instructions, and I will return to you immediately." Yuan Guogang said.

Dialed Guan Yuntian's phone, and Yuan Guogang reported the situation reported by Lawyer Zhao to the chairman, "Mr. Guan, should we consider the demands of this part of the owners?"

After thinking about it, Changda Group donates more than 10 million yuan to disaster areas and charities every year, and also funded the construction of a nearly 10-kilometer rural road for his hometown.

"This is really a special situation, and the specific difficulties of some owners are not impossible to consider, but they must be strictly controlled. When you actually operate in the future, you must ask the business owner to provide a certificate similar to that of the civil affairs department or the neighborhood community, right? Guogang, what I'm talking about is just a big outline, and some detailed rules will have to be worked out for specific implementation. If you tell Lawyer Zhao, you can consider the demands of some property owners, and we should do charity for the society. "Guan Yuntian said.

"But Mr. Guan, will this cost be paid by the group company in the future? Or will Changda Property Company bear it by itself?" said Yuan Guogang.
