Chapter 230 You Should Buy a House
"Silence! Silence! The court is now in session!"
As the judge announced the opening of the courtroom, the people who were standing were seated one after another, and the media reporters behind the courtroom also took their seats one after another. The cameramen turned on their machines and started recording gestures.
Washington Federal Superior Court, where Kim Hyun-tae is sitting in a slim black suit, on his right is his daughter in a white lace dress, on the left is his attorney, George Jr., and behind him are more than 20 members of the legal team.
Kim Hyun-tae and his team are sitting on the left side of the court, while on the right side is his opponent, his enemy and his legal team.
However, in the face of this trial, both Kim Hyun-tae and George Jr. are sure to win, because judging from the current evidence and situation, it is impossible for the opponent to be as confident as the previous two times.
hey-hey!
The matter of the Patent Office has been exposed. Could it be that they can still quibble?
You know, it's not just video evidence, there are many witnesses on George Jr.'s side.
Since the case was heard by the Federal High Court, a jury of fifteen people inevitably came to the left of the judge.
The fifteen members of the jury were of all colors, from all walks of life, and of different ethnicities.
The United States in a different time and space seems to have juries, and it is no different from another time and space.
At this moment, little George stood up, he nodded to Kim Hyun-tae, and then walked out.
Kim Hyun-tae sat in the old god's seat and began to wait for George Jr.'s performance.
"Your Honor, may I begin?"
Little George asked, and after getting the judge's signal, he walked over to the Japanese and started asking questions.
"I believe you have all seen the recent news. The video in the news has a very clear message. The former director of the Patent Office used his authority to delete my client's patent application documents and replace them with your patent documents, right?"
Although Little George seemed to be asking, in fact, it was just a reconfirmation.
Facing George Jr.'s questioning, he was the defense lawyer for the Japanese side. At this moment, he stood up and protested: "Protest. The other lawyer's question has nothing to do with this case."
As soon as he finished speaking, Little George laughed 'hehehe', then turned to the judge and said, "Your Honor, I wonder why it has nothing to do with this case? Could it be that what the opposing lawyer wants to say is that the video has nothing to do with it?" Is it irrelevant to the case?"
"Protest is invalid!"
The judge is obviously not happy with the Japanese either.
Little George continued to ask, "Please answer my question!"
There were several Japanese sitting in the defendant's seat. Little George didn't know who to answer, so the Japanese wisely chose to ignore Little George, and no one answered him.
"Silence is not the best way, you should be clear, right? Well, since you use this way to fight. I can only use other ways."
As if he had expected the other party's reaction, Little George turned around and looked at the judge unhurriedly: "Judge, I hope to invite my first witness to appear in court."
"permit!"
Then an Asian man,
Accompanied by two bailiffs, he walked out from the side door of the court.
When the Asian man appeared, the faces of the Japanese sitting in the dock instantly became very ugly.
"Please introduce your identity, thank you."
Sworn, and then sat in the witness stand, George Jr. walked over slowly and said to him.
"Isamu Kobayashi, Japanese nationality. He works for the "xxxx" Internet company as a programmer."
After Xiao Linyong talked about his identity, nationality, and the company he worked for in court, George Jr. raised the first question.
"Do you know the people sitting there?"
Little George raised his finger and pointed in the direction of the dock.
Xiao Linyong nodded: "Yes, they are senior executives of the company I work for."
Little George smiled: "Okay, let me ask you, about instant messaging software, are you sure it was developed by your company?"
Xiao Linyong shook his head: "No, to be honest. We only started to pay attention to this software after William King released it for free download on his Facebook Twitter..."
Starting from Lin Yong when he was young, several witnesses came out one after another in the end, including employees of the "xxxx" company. There were also senior executives inside the Wall Street Japan Fund, and without exception, they all told the court what they knew about the insider situation after they attended the meeting.
These situations include how the Japanese fund company spent money to buy this Internet company that was about to go bankrupt, and then started to copy Jin Xiantai's instant messaging software.
In addition to the testimonies of these people, George Jr. also produced some relevant documents that were found. So far, the Japanese basically have no room to refute this matter.
In the face of so much evidence and testimony, it is simply impossible for the Japanese to overturn the sky.
But even so, the Japanese in the dock still wanted to struggle to the death.
"This is an unfair trial. First of all, none of my attorneys are Americans. Their nationality is Japanese. Therefore, I request that the trial of this case should be conducted in Japan."
When the defendant's attorney said such things in court, he was obviously telling everyone that what his defendant received here was unfair.
So what is fair?
His defendant should go back to Japan, where it is only fair to be tried in court.
After the attorney's words, many people in the courtroom laughed softly.
Even the judge sitting there shook his head, obviously disapproving of what he said.
At the same time, the faces of the fifteen jurors showed disgust.
It has to be said that these words completely offended everyone.
George Jr. came out at this time and said to the judge: "My lord, since our evidence and witnesses have given all the obvious facts, I think this case should be sentenced in court. I hope the court can revoke the first two cases. Judgment to restore my client's innocence, and at the same time return the property that some people took away with dirty means."
"Protest! Such a short period of time is not enough to explain everything. I hope the court can carefully consider the judgment."
The defendant's lawyer jumped out again at this time, hoping to prevent or even delay the judgment.
Although the situation is very unfavorable to them, the defendant and their attorneys still feel that if they can delay it. It's better to drag it on.
But the judge's words completely dispelled their illusions.
"The court is now adjourned for an hour to wait for the jury's opinion, and then the final verdict will be announced."
The judge's words are basically telling everyone. The case will come to a conclusion today.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have said he was waiting for the jury's opinion.
Obviously, as long as the jury gives an opinion, the case can have a result today without delay.
After an adjournment was announced. The judge left the courtroom, and several defendants also walked out under the escort of the bailiff.
"I can't help it. The firm insists on me being the defendant's lawyer. In fact, I don't want to come at all."
After the defendant left, the white man who was the defendant's attorney came over and complained to George Jr. It seemed that he still knew George Jr.
"Okay, you don't need to explain. I understand your helplessness. After all, being a lawyer is like this, isn't it. I'll buy you a drink later."
George Jr. did know the defendant's lawyer, and he responded with a smile, telling him not to take it to heart.
After a few hasty words, the defendant's lawyer walked away.
After all, it's not easy for people to see that he and little George are so familiar, which will cause some gossip.
When the defendant's lawyer left, Little George looked back at Kim Hyun-tae who was holding his daughter.
"This matter will have a result today, and it won't take so long. Now everyone is concerned about the espionage case, and your matter is not so important."
While speaking, George Jr. and Kim Hyun-tae walked out of the court and came to the corridor of the court.
outside the corridor. Joan was standing there pretty, waiting for them.
"The espionage case will make many people overwhelmed. After all, this is a espionage case."
Jin Xiantai also more or less understood what Old George meant, and knew why he characterized this matter as a spy case.
Hearing this, Little George smiled: "We don't have to worry about this matter. It's something for the old men to consider. After this matter is over, I plan to participate in the general election of Los Angeles City Council members. You have to support me then ah."
Kim Hyun-tae nodded: "No problem, I will definitely support you, is fifty million dollars enough?"
Kim Hyun-tae is thinking about it now, through this experience. He felt that it was necessary to make friends with favorable people.
And George Jr. wanted to go into politics, and with his relationship with Lao Tzu, Kim Hyun-tae felt that there was no harm in supporting him.
"Five million is enough, and I will give 50 million when I am about to enter Congress." Little George said to Kim Hyun-tae with a smile.
Little George was very happy. He could see that Kim Hyun-tae really planned to support him, which made him very happy.
Because this shows that through this period of contact, he has basically become friends with Kim Hyun-tae.
"No problem! But I can't give it to you until those Japanese return my money to me." Jin Xiantai nodded, and finally reminded little George.
After all, his property has been seized, so he can't afford five million for the time being.
"Here, I have prepared a lounge, let's sit there and wait for the result."
The two walked and chatted, and Qiao An came over at this time and began to greet the two.
As Qiao An came to the prepared lounge in the court, Jin Xiantai put his daughter on the sofa, and then Jin Xiantai, George Jr., and Qiao An sat down respectively.
After sitting down, Little George said to Kim Hyun-tae, "I heard that you are still renting a house, right?"
Kim Hyun-tae nodded with a smile.
After receiving Jin Xiantai's answer, Little George rolled his eyes, feeling incredible.
"William, you are considered rich, why should you be so harsh on yourself, let alone you have a child with you, I think you should buy a house after this matter is over."
Qiao An also said to Jin Xiantai after hearing the words: "I think Mr. George is right. Boss, you have to think about this matter seriously. Even if it's not for yourself, you should also think about it for Coco, right?"
After hearing what Little George and Qiao An said, Jin Xiantai also began to seriously think about this issue, and he felt that what Little George and Joan said were right, he really should buy a house.
It seems really outrageous to always rent a house with my daughter Ke Ke.
Besides, it's not that I don't have money to buy a house, right?
"Okay! I'll buy a house after this matter is over."
After thinking about it, Kim Hyun-tae finally made a decision.
Hearing this, Little George immediately cheered up: "Beverly Hills? Los Angeles is not a bad place, and it's more than enough to buy a house here with your assets. Do you need me to introduce you?"
George Jr. volunteered, hoping to make a guest appearance as a 'real estate agent'.
Joan curled her lips, dismissive of little George's volunteering.
Because Qiao An had already received the instructions from the boss behind the scenes, Annie, and knew that her boss had prepared a big house for Kim Hyun-tae.
So, where is little George still used for this kind of thing?
So Qiao An said to Jin Xiantai at this time: "Boss, I know there is a good property for sale, and the price is very reasonable. If you are interested, I can contact the other party and let's take a look. The location is in Bei Foley."
"What's so good about Beverly? In fact, I think it's good for you, William, to buy a farm in our Texas. It's very interesting to be a cowboy if you have nothing to do."
Little George felt that Beverly was not good, so he suggested to Kim Hyun-tae to go to Texas to buy a farm.
Jin Xiantai looked at Little George, then at Qiao An, and then at his daughter Ke Ke who was obediently sitting beside him.
"Coco, tell Dad, where do you want our new home to be?"
Coco, who was bored, raised his head and looked at his father, and then replied in a sweet voice: "It's fun to buy a farm and ride a horse. It's not bad to live in Beverly. I heard that where the stars live. I will also want to live in Beverly." People who are stars should have a house there."
Well, saying this is tantamount to not saying it.
The little guy has a big heart, she thinks the farm is fun, but Beverly Hills is not bad either.
"Just buy a farm in Texas and buy a house in Beverly, but it's just money." Little George didn't think there was anything embarrassing about it, he thought it was easy to solve.
Joan thought about it, and felt that Little George's proposal seemed to be a good idea.
Little George continued to say to Kim Hyun-tae: "I have learned that under the name of that Japanese fund company, there are many properties in New York, Los Angeles and Texas, so you don't need to spend a penny at all. You are guaranteed to get these.
Don't you forget, they asked the court to award you $30 billion in damages. So now it has been proved that they are the thieves, the thieves, and the ones who violated the patent law, can't we countersuit and ask them to pay compensation? They make you lose 30 billion! Why do we have to make them pay several times. "
When George Jr. said this, his expression was gloomy.
However, Kim Hyun-tae likes the idea of Little George. If he can get some real estate without spending his own money, Kim Hyun-tae is still very willing to accept this result.
After all, Kim Hyun-tae is a petty bourgeois mentality at work.
And he forgot one thing, that is, even if he has a real estate, he still needs to spend a lot of money.
He has to pay the monthly property tax by himself... (To be continued.)
