YM778.TV Chapter 1341 - An Army of Lawyers
But the Chinese Government rejected their demands and even ordered them to stop the defamation and issue an apology.
Those companies are speechless. When did the Chinese Government become so firm? These companies are from the US, UK, France, Singapore, etc., yet China is willing to offend all of them?!
.......
“I represent the Chinese Government to issue this statement. This is a legal affair between companies and should not be escalated to diplomatic levels. China will not compromise!”
Everyone is shocked when China’s spokesperson made this announcement.
When did China become so firm? Just because they bought an empty aircraft carrier hull?! So what if China does have an aircraft carrier? These countries have more aircraft carriers than China.
Legal affairs between companies? Why is the Chinese media only reporting one-sided facts? We cannot even issue our statements on your media.
Fine. Since you want to battle it out in the courts, we will sue the CCTV, those internet companies, and your local governments!
If it’s one company, the company might not dare to offend the Chinese Government, as they still want to do business there.
But the companies are powerful when all of them become united.
......
“Manager Feng, it seems that this matter had blown out of proportion. Those companies are suing CCTV now!” Station Chief Jia sounded furious. He did not expect these companies to sue them in China.
“Oh.”
Station Chief Jia is going mad. What do you mean by ‘Oh?’ are suing us because of what you started, and your reply is just an ‘oh?’
“Calm down. You must not tell the courts to reject their lawsuit. Let them go through the proper procedures, and we will fight them in courts!”
“What do you mean? You want CCTV to have a lawsuit with them? What did you tell me initially? You said you could handle this, and we are being sued now!” Station Chief Jia is furious. Feng Yu is not reliable at all!
“They can sue you. Why can’t you sue them back? We had agreed to demand compensation from them based on the contracts. The courts should accept their lawsuit, and this should not be a problem with you. Let me handle the rest, and you should not block off their news. We will continue to expose them and let everyone see how unreasonable they are!”
Sue them? That’s right. I can sue them for compensation.
“Chief Jia, you must remember to sue them for a large amount. Just ten times of the advertising fees will do.”
Huh? Ten times the advertising fees? Those companies’ advertising fees are at least 10 million RMB, and some are more than 70 million RMB. Their total is over 300 million, and you are asking me to demand 3 billion RMB?! It’s around 400 million USD!
“Manager Feng, is the compensation amount too high? It’s over 400 million USD!”
“Eh? So little?! Then it should be over 3 billion RMB, right? Change it to USD. We will demand 3 billion USD!” Feng Yu replied.
Chief Jia almost choked. 3 billion USD?! Even 3 billion RMB is a lot, but Manager Feng still thinks it is not enough?!
“Feng... Manager Feng, is it too high?” Although Chief Jia is used to seeing big figures, he had never experienced this before. Even compensation of 2 billion RMB is a record high in China.
“How can this be too high? Such cases are common in the US and other capitalist countries. We are only demanding this amount, but the actual compensation is another amount. This is just like you going to the market to buy vegetables. The vegetable seller will bargain with you.” Feng Yu explained.
Chief Jia is speechless. How can both be the same?
“Just listen to me. Those foreigners will think we were digging our graves when we demanded a large amount. Which TV channel in the world has more viewers than us? TV stations with more than 100 million viewers are considered successful, and we have more than a billion viewers.”
“We can be considered the world’s number one TV station, and CCTV 1 is the world’s number one channel! Of course, our main market is China. But we can ignore this, and we have the right to demand a large compensation because we have the most viewers. TV stations with only a tens of million viewers can demand a few hundred million USD as compensation.”
Chief Jia got brainwashed by Feng Yu successfully. He felt that demanding this amount is reasonable based on the number of viewers!
“But what about our lawyers? Can we win the lawsuit?” Chief Jia is still worried.
“Don’t worry about this and leave it to me. I have hired the best lawyers in China, Europe, and the US and have been waiting for them to start the lawsuit. I promise we will gain the support of our people too!”
Feng Yu had told Wilson to get ready, and he had contacted some of the top law firms in the World.
This way, the lawyers from these law firms cannot accept the other parties’ cases.
Wilson told Feng Yu that a strong legal team is required to win a lawsuit. Some lawyers are responsible for collecting information, some are doing the paperwork, some are good at attending courts, and some are just there to carry the bags.
The bigger the legal team with top lawyers, the higher the winning possibility is. Those famous lawyers can give the other party pressure.
Those are big companies, and they will surely send a team of lawyers each. Their lawyers will team up with the rest to form a bigger legal team.
Feng Yu heard it and decided. It’s just a legal team. We will also hire a big team, and half of the compensation will go to the team as legal fees. If they can demand 1 billion USD, they will get 500 million USD!
Wilson is thrilled and quickly contacts other law firms to firm a stronger and bigger legal team. It can no longer be called a legal team. It’s more like an army of lawyers!
