Chapter 1906 Senior Counsel

Who is the most hated person in a profession in a capitalist society?

It won't be the police, it won't be the doctor, it won't be the banker, but...

lawyer.

In the eyes of many people, 90% of lawyers are shameless.

They rely on loopholes in the law to deceive and cheat, and they are willing to do anything for money, even turning black and white.

But people in developed countries cannot do without lawyers in their lives. Even in developed regions, such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, lawyers are very popular.

As a self-proclaimed international metropolis, Hong Kong has flourished in various financial industries, and naturally lawyers are indispensable.

Although Hong Kong is a small place, there are hundreds of law firms large and small, more than 800 barristers, more than 5,000 practicing lawyers, and more than 30,000 employees in the entire industry. On average, more than 1,200 people own one Lawyers belong to the level of developed regions.

The law of lawyers in Hong Kong is inherited from the Commonwealth of Nations. Usually, among the more than 800 lawyers, the best group of people are called Royal{Top}Dian{Xiao}Shuoyong Barristers. After the reunification, they were renamed Senior Counsel. Lawyers in smooth silk gowns as seen on the Internet.

It's just that the TV series are just exaggerated, and there are only more than 60 senior counsel in Hong Kong, and they only take care of the most troublesome cases. Usually, a case can earn millions or tens of millions, so how can they often appear in court?

Those who appear in the court most are only those practicing lawyers with the largest number of people. They are responsible for a lot of cases, but they don't make much money. They are usually the most stressed, which is more stressful than the assistants and secretaries they hire.

It is available today in the business district on Gloucester Road near Victoria Park. At the entrance of Tupu Electronics Company on the 17th floor of an ordinary business building, a senior barrister, five barristers, and thirteen practicing lawyers appeared in such a mighty lineup that the little girl who was waiting at the door almost didn't know what to do. pee out.

What is this concept?

Could it be that some big case happened here?

Before the reception girl had finished her wild thinking, several people in charge who got the news came out inexplicably and terrified.

"Which one is the Senior Counsel?" Chairman Tan Xichu asked calmly.

"I am Tang Chaoshan, a senior barrister, and this is my certificate." Tang Chaoshan was in his 40s. Gently handed over the documents, and when Tan Xi first looked at the documents, he said lightly: "We are here today to address the verbal insults, violent beatings, and misappropriation of Mr. Feng's inventions and creations by the staff of your company at noon yesterday. product conduct, prepared to appeal."

"You appeal to the court, come to us... Oh!" A middle-aged obese man was covered by his companion before he could finish his sentence.

Another man with glasses. Looking at Tang Chaoshan and a group of well-dressed lawyers behind him, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva: "The police have already proposed a settlement on this matter. We don't hold him accountable for Feng Kelun beating someone first. Why does he want to frame him in the opposite direction? us?"

"Yes!" Tan Xichu returned the certificate to Tang Chaoshan, and said with an apologetic smile: "Tang Dazhuang, don't be deceived by him. What encroached on his invention? That creative concept software was developed by our whole company, and we still go to The patent office has filed it, and we have a basis for it!"

Tang Chaoshan smiled slightly. "You think I'm so foolish, don't you? What's the matter? If you think you can't explain it clearly. Why don't we go to court and say it?"

Go to court and say a fart!

Tan Xichu's grades are too low, and the whole thing is just a small electronics company with assets of more than 50 million Hong Kong dollars. The most powerful lawyer I see on weekdays, that is, the barrister, is not just for them, but one of them. A small part-time job. Basically, he doesn't go out, and he just sends his assistant practicing lawyer over when there is something to do.

Now a senior barrister suddenly came, how much kindness and financial support did that have?

Can such a thing be done by Feng Kelun? Even if he has an older sister who is a star, is this still hurtful?

Thinking of Feng Kelun's willingness to tear himself apart from the company at all costs. Tan Xichu felt more and more that his software idea was very important.

Although senior counsel is very important, it is quite insignificant compared to the profits that may reach hundreds of millions of dollars.

The thoughts in Tan Xichu's mind turned like electricity, and he looked up with a smile on his face: "Tang Dazhuang, you misunderstood, I didn't mean it. It's about this software that we have applied for patent protection on Tuesday last week. Feng Kelun has a comparison Did you apply this early? If not, then he misled you! This is to ruin your reputation!"

The obese middle-aged man who spoke badly just now smiled smugly. He is Feng Kelun's boss manager Bao Long. He was the one who proposed the software snatching plan this time. He was the one who fought with Feng Kelun yesterday.

It was said to be a fight, but in fact it was just a few times of pushing and fighting. It was not a serious conflict. Bao Long's eyes were bruised and swollen from the beating, and he recovered after a night of sleep.

As an experienced senior barrister, how could Tang Chaoshan be fooled by a few words from him, he asked with a half-smile, "Are you sure you want to turn black and white like this?"

"It's not black and white, it's the truth!" Tan Xichu could only bite the bullet and refuse to admit it. Anyway, as long as he seized the patent right and applied for it in advance, he would be supported by the patent office, and the court would have no way to say that they stole other people's ideas.

"Well."

Tang Chaoshan took a document from his assistant, "Your idea of ​​this photo sharing software has applied for 12 patents in total, am I right?"

Tan Xichu's face darkened, and the documents received clearly stated the time of their declaration, the details of the patent, and even this document was a copy of the original copy of the Patent Office, which shows how extensive this senior barrister's network is. .

"right!"

Driven by profit, Tan Xichu still persisted: "If you can come up with an application earlier than ours, then we will lose."

"Unfortunately, you have already lost." Tang Chaoshan took out another document, "This is the photo sharing patent applied by Xiannv Company in various patent offices around the world in 2006. There are a total of 39 patents, all of which cover your application. And the second round of review in the United States and Europe has passed, officially recognizing the uniqueness of the patent. The first round of the patent office in Hong Kong has also come out with results. I believe that someone will notify you in a few days that the patent you applied for is invalid. .

My client, Mr. Feng Kelun, has already obtained the authorization letter from Xiannv Company, so he developed this photo sharing software. This is the original authorization from Mr. Xiao Qi, the chairman of Xiannv Company, and the first round of review by the Hong Kong Patent Office. You can take a look at the original. "

Hearing this, the faces of Tan Xichu, Bao Long and the others were as dark as Bao Gong's.

"Impossible! You're lying!!" Bao Long immediately shouted subconsciously: "He said he developed it independently! There is no second person in the world who has done it!"

Tang Chaoshan looked at him with a smile, "Sir, didn't you just say that it was developed by you? Why did it become developed by my client?"

Bao Long came to his senses suddenly, his face flushed immediately: "Damn, you lied to me?"

"Add one to him, insulting the lawyer with indecent language in public." Tang Chaoshan turned his head and said to the assistants.

"it is good!"

A practicing lawyer took out a pen and paper and began to write.

Tan Xichu didn't care about their conflicts. As a technician himself, he was carefully reading several documents, and the more he read, the more his heart sank.

Not to mention that several patent applications of Xiannv Company do indeed overlap this patented software, which is within the scope of patent protection. The word "Xiao Qi" signed on the authorization document alone is enough to make him tremble with fear. , Scared to death!

What about projects worth hundreds of millions of dollars?

That is the richest man in the world that no one can match!

Li Chaoren, the richest man in Hong Kong, Li Xiaochao, the owner of the most prosperous electronics company in Hong Kong, Yan Chenglong, the boss of the underground club in Hong Kong, and the second wife of the gambling king in Macau...these are all Xiao Qi's hardcore supporters!

If they offend Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi doesn't need to do anything, they can kill their small company with a sneeze, and then throw themselves into prison.

"Tang... Tang Dazhuang..."

Tan Xichu spoke dryly with a smile, but was interrupted by Tang Chaoshan waving his hand, "Since you have understood the whole story, then we will see you in court! There will be an indictment sent to you this afternoon. Five senior executives from your company Even if it's all within the scope of the lawsuit. I, Tang Chaoshan, assure you that you will have to stay for at least three years, and Mr. Bao Long, who beat someone, will spend five years in prison, and I, Tang Chaoshan, will quit the judicial circle in my life!"

It wasn't until this moment that the ferocity of a senior barrister appeared.

Although he was talking with a smile, none of the people beside him felt chilling.

"No! You are turning black and white! Why should I go to jail?" Bao Long was angry, and shouted: "I still want to sue Feng Kelun for beating me! I have many witnesses here, proving that he inflicted violence on me! If If you dare to accuse me of stealing secrets, Feng Kelun will also go to jail for intentional injury!"

Although he is arrogant and sinister, he is not a fool.

Obviously this time he hit an iron plate, and they paid a lot of money and effort to deal with him.

Feng Kelun couldn't help but hit him first yesterday, and it became Bao Long's bargaining chip in exchange.

The other Bao Long didn't dare to count on it anymore, he just hoped that he could get out of his body. (To be continued..)
