Chapter 990 Sky-High Bill

Yang Fei went to find Linda and learned that she had traveled abroad and hadn't come back yet.

Yang Fei returned to New York again, and it was already the fourth day since he arrived in the United States.

He made an appointment with Sean, and the two exchanged views on the Procter & Gamble lawsuit.

Because Sean is from Massachusetts, Procter & Gamble's prosecution against him is in Massachusetts.

The American court organization is divided into two major systems, the federal system and the state system, with different names and trial levels, and the jurisdiction is complicated.

The states adopt the model of the federal court system, generally adopting a three-level trial system, and clearly stipulating the jurisdiction of each trial level.

The basic courts are usually referred to as "district courts" or "common litigation courts". They are responsible for handling civil and criminal matters under the jurisdiction of the state, and conduct first-instance trials on related cases.

Procter & Gamble's case against Xiao En for breach of contract is still in the preliminary trial stage.

Xiao En was very indignant about this, and said to Yang Fei: "I resigned normally, and then I joined Meili Group. Before I resigned, I had a conversation with the senior management of P&G, but none of them agreed to my request. They also refused to give me more promises. What they are doing now is completely unreasonable!"

Yang Fei said: "If you want to add a crime, why do you have no words?"

Xiao En said: "Although Meili Group and Procter & Gamble are colleagues, when I joined Meili Group, the two companies still had a cooperative relationship. I also did not bring any confidential technology of P&G to Meili Group. In this regard, boss, are you knew."

Yang Fei said: "I respect your professional ethics, and I will not ask you to disclose any secrets of Procter & Gamble for immoral purposes. Because, with the development potential of Meili Group in the daily chemical industry, I don't need to do this at all. .We have the technology that P&G has. But P&G does not have what we have. However, the truth is the truth, and the lawsuit is a lawsuit. Can we win this lawsuit?"

Sean held his chin, and shrugged helplessly: "It's hard to say, I don't know who the big men in the court will favor. You have to know that in the United States, the law is not absolutely fair and just."

Yang Fei said: "Then let this lawsuit drag on for a little longer. We can afford it. Let the media write a few reports from time to time to maintain the heat. I believe that the law and justice will definitely be on our side."

Although Sean is not optimistic, he is not pessimistic either. He is just angry at the ruthlessness of the former owner of Procter & Gamble. He said: "I am not afraid of them suing. Similarly, I also sued them. They unilaterally tore up the contract and gave We have caused great economic damage!"

Yang Fei smiled and said: "That's right, the best defense is offense. P&G wants to sue us, and we will sue him in turn!"

The two talked about the construction progress of the factory and the distribution channels for the introduction of shampoo.

Yang Fei's phone rang.

Yang Fei's phones are all subscribed to Global Tone. Although this service is available, the price of the call is ridiculously expensive, as high as 25 yuan per minute.

"Yang Fei." Wan Aimin said anxiously on the phone, "Are you still in the United States?"

"I'm here. I'm in New York. Sister Wan, what's the matter?"

"Xiaojia may be unaccustomed to the climate, or it may be too cold here. She has had a cold for two or three days and has a high fever."

When Yang Fei heard that it was just a cold, he smiled and said: "It's okay, it's just a cold, just take some medicine and you'll be fine."

Wan Aimin hesitated to speak.

Yang Fei said: "Sister Wan, is there something wrong?"

Wan Aimin said: "Yang Fei,

I don't understand the customs here in the United States. I saw her high fever the day before yesterday. I was afraid that she would burn out her brain, so I called 911 in a hurry and called an ambulance. "

Yang Fei said: "This is understandable. Ambulances are meant to save lives and heal the wounded. Has Xiaojia's fever subsided? How is the situation now?"

Wan Aimin said: "Xiaojia's fever has subsided, and she only stayed in the hospital for one day. We were discharged yesterday. The service attitude of the hospital is very good. The doctor comes to check the room every two hours, and the attitude of the nurse is also very good." Kind. I still feel that the hospitals in the United States are so good! However, I was terrified when I received the hospital bill today!"

Yang Fei asked: "Isn't it just a cold? What? Is it expensive?"

"20,500 US dollars!" Wan Aimin's voice was trembling, "Yang Fei, do you think they are robbing? It's just a cold, and it will cost 160,000 to 70,000 yuan? You can buy a set in China with this money." Nice house!"

Yang Fei was also taken aback: "Is it so expensive? I've seen a doctor too, so it's not that expensive."

Wan Aimin said: "You must have bought medical insurance. We are here to travel, so we don't buy enough insurance. These items are not covered by reimbursement."

Yang Fei said: "Are there any details on the medical bill?"

"Yes, the ambulance costs 2,000 US dollars, and there is a trauma activation fee, which is as high as 15,000 US dollars! Then, every time the doctor checks the room, he will be charged, and every nurse's service will also be charged. They want money! God, they are stealing money! If I had told me it was so expensive, I would not have called an ambulance or called a doctor to make rounds! Isn’t it just a cold? The most deceitful thing is this trauma The activation fee is completely unreasonable."

Yang Fei thought for a while and said, "Trauma activation fee? I've been in the United States for so long, why haven't I heard of it, wait a minute, I'll ask my friend."

He asked Sean for advice.

Xiao En said: "The trauma activation fee refers to the emergency room calling together doctors of various specialties to organize a team to rescue a critical patient."

Yang Fei said in amazement: "My friend went to the hospital because of a cold, does this project also need it?"

Sean said: "Maybe when your friend made the emergency call, he said that his condition was very serious. The hospital will prepare this item for emergency response. Whether it is useful or not, as long as it is prepared, then the cost will be incurred. If your friend has health insurance, these expenses are reimbursed."

Yang Fei smiled wryly and said, "My friend is here to travel and does not have relevant medical insurance. Travel insurance does not cover these items."

Xiao En said helplessly: "I have no choice but to pay. The hospital has the right to charge the patient for more than half an hour in the emergency room."

Yang Fei said: "Isn't this a scam?"

Sean said: "Capitalism, please understand..."

Yang Fei called and told Wan Aimin.

Wan Aimin wanted to cry but had no tears: "Yang Fei, I want to die. Seeing that I have a cold and spent so much money, how can I have so many dollars on me? I..."

Yang Fei said: "Sister Wan, I'll come to you right away, and I'll accompany you to the hospital to pay the fee. As long as the little beauty is fine, just spend the money!"

Wan Aimin said gratefully: "Yang Fei, thank you. I have no relatives in the United States, and I can't speak well, so I can only ask you for help."

Yang Fei bid farewell to Xiao En and came to find Wan Aimin.

Jiang Xiaojia's high fever subsided, but she still had some cold symptoms and felt weak all over, so she didn't go on a study tour anymore.

She has always been extremely strong in front of her mother. After seeing Yang Fei, she hugged him and cried out loud.

Yang Fei patted her on the shoulder: "How old are you? Still crying?"

Jiang Xiaojia wiped her tears and said, "Brother, it's so kind to see you, I couldn't help crying. I've had a cold these two days, why didn't you come to see me? I'm really scared, I miss you so much... "
