Chapter 167 Negotiation Failure, Adjust Thinking

(Today, on the 18th, nucleic acid testing will be carried out for all members of several communities in Xishan District starting in the morning, and Anzhen Street, where the author is located, will also start, and it will be another busy day.

Also, the codewords are not in the state recently. After being busy every day late, I still need to rush home to codewords. Not to mention the low efficiency of codewords, the quality of codewords has also declined. I feel that some content is a bit watery. The author is here Here is an apology to the readers, there is really nothing I can do these days, and I can't control it...)

...

Zhang Wei's threat was to make this incident known to the whole city.

This is also a common method to deal with big companies. What they are most afraid of is that things will become big and affect their reputation.

But obviously, neither Su Bancheng nor the Good House Group will be frightened by this threat.

"Hahaha, I, Mr. Wu, have been in the shopping malls for decades. If I was scared by you, a brat, where would I put my face?"

"The three of you will definitely regret it today, and actually want to threaten me, Mr. Wu. Although everyone in court depends on their own abilities, I can guarantee that our Haofang Group will completely defeat you!"

President Wu laughed at himself, and looked at Zhang Wei and the others with a hint of pity.

Not only do they have massive resources, but also Su Bancheng, the nominal "strongest lawyer in the city", is there any reason to lose?

As for the opponent, apart from a few old, weak, sick and disabled, there are only three young people.

If it wasn't for the president's arrogance and restraint, he would have stood up and questioned the other party.

What are you fighting with me?

You don't think that with a few family members, with a few critically ill patients, crying miserably in court, we can make us lose money out of our pockets, right?

It's ridiculous!

"That's right, Lawyer Zhang, your accusations against my client are completely unfounded. My client will never accept your unreasonable demands!"

Su Bancheng's words have already shown his attitude. If you really want to go to court, you will use the strength of the three of you to fight against a large company with assets exceeding tens of billions.

"It seems that there is nothing to talk about?"

"There is no need to talk about it!"

Seeing Zhang Wei's attitude, Su Bancheng immediately got up and sent the three of them away.

But his movements paused, and then he leaned into Mr. Wu's ear and whispered a few words.

Mr. Wu also pondered for a moment, glanced at Zhang Wei and the others, and lingered on Jessica and Susan for a while, hesitating slightly.

Perhaps he was surprised that there were two foreigners involved in a civil lawsuit.

Generally speaking, the court may not accept some unreasonable claims.

Even Su Bancheng has some connections in the court, and can talk to several judges.

But if a "foreign friend" participates in a case, the nature of the case itself will change, and the judge will pay more attention to it.

This is also related to the investment promotion policy of Jinying City in recent years. Anyway, no matter what the case is, if it involves international affairs, the weight will increase.

This is also the reason why Su Bancheng hesitated for a moment.

He had to tell Mr. Wu that if Susan and Jessica came forward, the court would probably accept the case.

The two discussed for a while, and in the end Su Bancheng nodded, obviously there was a result.

"Lawyer Zhang, Mr. Wu still has company affairs to deal with, you might as well come to my office to chat!"

Su Bancheng knew that among the three people in front of him, the one who could make up his mind must be Zhang Wei, so he didn't mind calling a young boy Lawyer Zhang.

Mr. Wu left with the people from the Good House Group without looking back, and his attitude was still arrogant.

But Zhang Wei didn't care, and followed Su Bancheng to an office on the same floor.

The latter took a piece of paper, wrote a number on it, and handed it to Zhang Wei.

"Lawyer Zhang, Mr. Wu and I discussed it just now. We naturally express our sympathy for what happened to the folks in Tonghu Town. It's a pity that your unreasonable troubles must be moderate!"

Then, he sat down while talking.

Looking at the numbers in his hand, Zhang Wei joked, "This is your condition, 60,000 yuan in compensation for each family?"

"60,000 is not a small number. This is the average annual income of ordinary families in Jinying City. Especially considering that Tonghu Town is a remote suburb, the income should be lower. The figure I gave has already Very good!"

"Then I can understand that you agreed to compensate because you feel guilty in your heart?"

"No, no, Mr. Zhang, you obviously misunderstood!"

Su Bancheng smiled slightly, and said quite gracefully: "You can understand this money as Mr. Wu's charitable act, it is a donation we made to the six families in Tonghu Town, it is a so-called act of goodwill, nothing more .”

"I see!"

Zhang Wei nodded, but sneered in his heart, this is what sent beggars away.

"By the way, Lawyer Zhang, if you receive the money, I also hope that you can guarantee that you will not initiate a lawsuit against my client's company with some unreasonable demands. I believe you can understand this, right?" ?”

"Naturally, it's a pity that I reject your conditions!"

Zhang Wei tore off the paper directly, crumpled up the scraps of paper, and threw them into the trash can at his feet.

"Oh, so, you signed a full agency contract, you can do everything!"

It was such a small action, but Su Bancheng saw the clue.

If Zhang Wei and Susan did not entrust lawyers with carte blanche, they were obliged to inform the client of the quotation, and the latter could decide on the conditions only after knowing it.

But Zhang Wei directly tore up the conditions given by their side, which shows that Zhang Wei and Susan can directly decide this matter.

Although it was just a trivial matter, Su Bancheng also tested the two once, and got the answer he wanted to know.

It has to be said that he has a lot of experience, and he hides tricks in every trivial matter.

"Then Lawyer Zhang, can you tell us about your conditions so that I can communicate with the client?"

"Of course, our condition is the number per household!"

Zhang Wei raised a finger.

After Su Bancheng saw it, he showed a trace of sarcasm, "One million, Lawyer Zhang is really a lion!"

"Mr. Su, are you confused? Do you think that one million can get me out of the Eastern Capital and come to Jinying City to file a lawsuit? Our price is 10 million per household?"

Now, it was Su Bancheng's turn to lose his composure.

My good fellow, you young man is really daring!

It costs 10 million to open your mouth, and it's still 10 million per family, wouldn't it cost 60 million for six families!

Su Bancheng was very reserved, and couldn't help shouting outside the door: "Come here, see off the guests!"

Within two seconds, two men in suits opened the door and walked in.

"Three, please, Lawyer Su wants you to leave!"

The two didn't make a move, but they pressed Zhang Wei step by step, and they almost drove him away.

"Old Su, I'll see you in court then!"

Zhang Wei walked to the door, left a word, and walked away with Susan and Jessica.

"Little brat, pretend to be in front of me. When I went to court, your parents may have been drinking milk in swaddling babies!"

After Zhang Wei left, Su Bancheng finally couldn't hold back anymore, and sneered.

He's so angry, he was kicked on the nose by a junior today.

Facing him, the other party dared to open his mouth like a lion, and the cost of one mouth was 60 million.

He, Su Bancheng, had never been so angry.

As for the price, he didn't bother to inform Mr. Wu, because he knew that the other party would definitely not agree.

What's more, Zhang Wei didn't quote at all, so what does it mean to put a finger up.

...

Good House Group, outside the headquarters building.

Zhang Wei, Jessica and Susan stopped here for a while.

"If possible, I hope that the trial will not be held in Taoyuan District, and it is best to try it as soon as possible. I don't want to delay too much time..."

Zhang Wei is communicating with the chief lawyer of this case, but the situation is that he is saying that Susan recorded Zhang Wei's orders in that note.

"I know that the court will start as soon as possible. My mother's body may not last long, and the lawsuit is very time-consuming and labor-intensive. But why can't the court be held in Taoyuan District?"

"Susan, have you been to Xindu? "

Susan searched in her mind. This is a city near the sea in the south of Longguo. It focuses on high-tech. I heard that the city's GDP and housing prices are about to catch up with the Oriental Capital.

She shook her head and looked at Zhang Wei.

"There is a Xunteng Technology Co., Ltd. in Xindu, nicknamed Pi-Hut-Keep in Shannan District. Do you know why?"

"I don't know." Susan shook her head again.

"You don't need to understand the tricks here, and it's not convenient for me to explain it to you in detail. You just need to know that there is a word called 'local warfare'. If you fight against the Good House Group in Taoyuan District, the situation will be very, very unfavorable to us! "

Zhang Wei explained a sentence, said something in Susan's ear, and asked her to go to the court to submit materials and applications.

Watching Susan leave, Jessica was a little worried.

"Zhang Wei, if you let her go to the court alone, will it be a little..."

"Don't worry, Susan is a local lawyer. She probably went to the Taoyuan District Court a lot. There will definitely be no problems. The key is that the problems on our side are bigger."

"What's the problem, and is there anything else we want to investigate?"

"Of course, we're leaving too!"

Zhang Wei nodded, "Before the case starts, we need to carefully understand the opponent this time. Whether it is the Good House Group or Su Bancheng, we need to find out their bottom line!"

He said, let Jessica drive, took him around the neighborhood, and then picked a place to have a meal.

In the afternoon, Zhang Wei and Jessica picked up Susan, and then returned to the vicinity of Tonghu Town.

Originally they wanted to go to a nearby factory to investigate, but Susan told Zhang Wei that the factory would not allow them to enter, which extinguished their thoughts.

In the end, the three naturally returned to Su Mei's home.

In the living room, Zhang Wei sorted out some materials, with Jessica and Susan helping.

Su Mei was busy in the kitchen, preparing snacks for the three of them.

"How about the courthouse?"

"The case has been accepted, but we need to line up..."

"Well, it is inevitable, but you are the applicant. Considering the status of 'international friends' between you and Aunt Mei, it should be possible for the court to 'jump the queue' to deal with it!"

Zhang Wei nodded, knowing it well.

"Next is the information we just investigated. I have to say that Su Bancheng is indeed a difficult opponent, especially if you have to face him!"

Zhang Wei looked at Susan with a strange expression on his face.

"Su Bancheng, Lawyer Su?" Su Mei also heard the name, and immediately poked her head out of the kitchen.

"Yes, our opponent this time is him!"

Zhang Wei did not hide anything, and told what happened to the three of them in the Good House Group.

"What should I do? The opponent is actually that Su Bancheng lawyer, he is the oldest lawyer in Jinying City!"

Even if she lives in Tonghu Town, Su Mei has heard about Su Bancheng.

When she learned that the opponent in court was such a person, she also panicked. Didn't even make dim sum.

"Aunt Mei, calm down, Zhang Wei didn't say anything!"

Jessica hastily offered a word of consolation, it was up to Zhang Wei at a time like this.

"Actually, I don't know..."

The latter words left Jessica speechless for a while.

I just praised you for being fearless in the face of danger, and you kicked me?

"However, there is actually a way to deal with this kind of veteran!"

Zhang Wei's next words made Jessica and Susan's eyes light up slightly.

Seeing Jessica, Susan, and Su Mei all looking at him, Zhang Wei pondered for a moment, and said slowly:

"Actually, to deal with a master craftsman with 40 years of experience, what we have to do is not to follow the steps, but to be unexpected!"

"Surprise?" Jessica and Susan looked at each other, completely incomprehensible.

"It's easy!"

Zhang Wei hooked his fingers towards Susan, asking her to come closer.

"After the trial date is confirmed, you go to the court to ask for a list of jury candidates, and then we... like this... like that..."

"This... can it work?"

"Otherwise, do you have a better way to deal with Su Bancheng?"

"It's not..."

"That's it. With my method, at least it can cause him a little difficulty and give us a little chance!"

Susan nodded at last, and now she can only listen to Zhang Wei.

In the evening, Zhang Wei and Susan went to the office and moved all the documents of the case to Su Mei's home.

Compared with Susan's office, Zhang Wei prefers to work at Su Mei's home.

Looking at the files piled up all over the place, Zhang Wei felt a sense of familiarity for no reason, and this was where he could feel at ease.

After dinner, Zhang Wei and Susan started to work, Jessica also came to help, and Su Mei went to bed early because of her weak body.

And now, Zhang Wei is giving Susan a simulation exercise.

"Hello, jurors, I, I... My name is Susan... I represent... Copper Lake Town..."

Facing Zhang Wei's sharp gaze, Susan stuttered a little.

"stop!"

Zhang Wei hurriedly called a stop, shaking his head and said: "I alone make you so nervous, facing Su Bancheng in court, there are 6 jurors, plus a member of Haofang Group in the hearing booth, what are you going to do?" What to do?"

"But, I, I'm just a street lawyer..."

Susan is also suffering in her heart. The disputes she deals with on weekdays can be resolved by going to the settlement room to sit down and talk. Even if she goes to court, it is a small court with a few people, and there may not be many people in the hearing seat.

This time the opponent is Su Bancheng, and the opponent company has a scale of tens of billions. Didn't you hear their cruel words?

All the resources of the company will be used to crush you in court.

These words may have no effect on Zhang Wei, but to Susan, it is naked pressure.

"Jessica?" Zhang Wei had no choice but to ask for help.

Jessica is a registered psychiatrist, and what she is best at is helping people relieve psychological stress. She is a professional.

"Susan, come with me, remember the tree we planted together in the backyard?"

Jessica took Susan to the backyard, while Zhang Wei sighed helplessly.

Now the pressure is on Zhang Wei's side. When it is not clear whether Susan will be able to go to court, he has to be prepared that he may have to go out in person.

But if he goes to court, the case will be recorded by Jincheng.

Then his "private work" may be exposed.

"Forget it, let's solve the problem at hand now. I have to think about how to fight this case!"

Things have to be resolved one by one. Assuming that Susan can go to court with the help of Jessica, then the first round of proof is also a problem.

They have only one expert witness at hand, and the identity of the other party is also a problem.

Not only that, but the victims and family members on their side also have problems.

Just like Wang Qiang, Zhang Wei was very concerned about this person's position.

"At this time, I have to trouble my dear second daughter!"

Zhang Wei had no choice but to send all the information that needed to be investigated to Zhao Xiaoxiao, asking the other party to help with the investigation.

After a long time, the second girl replied with a message of "wait for me", which made Zhang Wei a little helpless.

Although the second daughter is reliable, but she is not around after all, it is hard to say whether the critical moment is right or not!

Just then, Jessica and Susan came back.

"Susan, go to bed first, Zhang Wei and I are here!"

"Oh well!"

Susan seems to have adjusted her mentality, and the expression on her face has changed, Zhang Weineng can feel it.

Seeing that the other party had gone to bed, Zhang Wei did not object.

"Zhang Wei, how is the situation now?"

Jessica sat next to Zhang Wei, watching him with big eyes.

"The situation...is not good!"

Zhang Wei hesitated for a moment, but said honestly: "Our evidence is easy to be attacked. Except for Auntie Sumei, I can't trust the other five families, and this is an away game. The most important thing is that this case lacks conclusive evidence... ..."

"Can you overcome these problems?"

Jessica came to Zhang Wei's side unknowingly, with a concerned look on her face.

"I can only say my best!"

Zhang Wei looked serious, but then he smiled and said, "But right now, I just want to take a hot bath..."

"It's easy to handle. I'll help you boil the bath water. Do you use a wooden bathtub?"

"Why is this so embarrassing, let me do it..."

"No, no, if you want to take a bath, you have to test the temperature of the water. I'll boil the bath water for you. You are here to help me. How can I make you work hard? Your energy must be used on the case!"

Since Jessica made such a request, Zhang Wei couldn't refuse, so he could only enjoy it slowly.

I have to say that this was the first time for him to take a bath in a wooden bathtub, and it was also dressed by a delicate beauty.

Sure enough, it is not unreasonable for a rich man to have a few beautiful maids by his side.

Zhang Wei enjoyed the treatment of a big landlord today, and it can only be said that it is very cool.

"Zhang Wei, that..."

But just as Zhang Wei finished taking a shower and was about to go back to rest, he was stopped by Jessica.

I saw her with a dark face, walking out from the stove.

"Well, I want to take a bath too, but Susan has gone to bed again. Aunt Mei is not in good health. Can you help me boil the bath water?"

"this……"

Looking at Jessica with an expectant look on his face, Zhang Wei thought to himself, sure enough, there is no free lunch in the world.

"Okay, manly man, how can you say no!"

Zhang Wei naturally agreed, walked into the stove and started to boil water.
