<strong>Chapter 1342 – Come, let’s see who has more money to burn</strong>
“President, the courts have epted ourwsuit against CCTV.”
“Hmph! If they don’t ept, everyone will be scolding them! What did CCTV say? Are they willing to ept our conditions and go for a private settlement with us?” John gloated.
After thepanies join forces, John had been selected to be their representative because of his capability. Thepany he represents is the biggest.
Thepanies do not want to fall out with CCTVpletely, as it is an important marketing channel for their products. They only want CCTV to give in and get some benefits like discounts for next year’s advertising slots or additional slots.
“President, there’s something else I need to report. Although the courts have epted ourwsuit, it’s still under process. I received this when I was at the courts.”
John nced at that paper and was shocked. He snatched it and looks at it carefully.
“This... is a notice from the People’s Court? Are we being sued? What are you doing? We are supposed to be the intiff!” John is furious.
“President, they are suing us for this case, and the Court says both cases will be registered separately. Theirwsuit was processed earlier, and the court will handle it first. Also, both cases are on the same issue and will bebined. However, they had submitted all the materials, and we are still preparing.”
“What? All their materials are prepared?! This is too much. Is CCTV only suing us?” John thought CCTV has only prepared the materials to sue them.
“No. They are suing all thepanies, and all the materials against them are submitted.”
How is it possible for them to prepare all the materials against thepanies?!
They must have plotted this in advance, and they have a strong legal team. But how can CCTV afford a massive legal team to sue so manypanies at the same time? They must have plotted this!
“Fine! We will fight them to the end! Our legal team will defeat CCTV and embarrass them if they don’t back down!” John shouted. He had worked in China for more than a decade and understood the culture well.

“Boss, these are the representatives from all thew firms, and they are famouswyers specializing in such cases. They have won numerous cases and helped their clients get the most benefits.” Wilson introduced more than a dozen men to Feng Yu in a meeting room.
“Do you all understand Mandarin?” Feng Yu asked.
The representatives looked at each other. They had been working in Europe and the US, and none of them can speak Mandarin.
Feng Yu frowned and turned to Wilson. “What are you doing?! Thiswsuit is in China, and how are they going to attend court if they don’t understand Mandarin. Bring a trantor with them?!”
Wilson quickly exins. “Boss, their job is supporting us from outside. Thewyer appearing in the courts will be from myw firm. We will be using the media and press to influence the judges’ verdict. They have experience in this. Although China and the West’sws are different, public opinions can still influence the oue.”
Feng Yu nodded. The severity of many sentencings is based on public opinions.
Even when one does notmit a serious crime, the courts might give out harsh sentencing because of public opinion.
For example, the Li Gang incident in Feng Yu’s previous life. He was sentenced with the severest punishment because of public outrage.
Feng Yu is confident of winning because thosepanies had hired overseaswyers. Thosewyers are useless as they don’t understand Mandarin, and not many Chinesewyers dare to go against CCTV.
The famous Chinesewyers will not dare to go against any government entities. Thosepanies can only hire new or problematic Chinesewyers. Feng Yu’swyers can retire if they lose against the case.
“I have told you all my conditions. It will be up to your capabilities to win this case. The more capable you are, the more money you will earn. Don’t me me if any of you try to get money by not doing anything!” Feng Yu warned.
Thosewyers quickly express they will influence the public’s opinion in their countries to make thosepanies pay. This is only a business to thesewyers and has nothing to do with their nationalities. In their countries, people can sue their governments.
Thesewyers are only interested in money, and that’s why they are called bloodsuckers in many countries.
Although thesewyers charge high rates, they have never received such high payments. Thepensation this time might amount up to a few billion USD. CCTV is demanding more than 3 billion USD, and the other onlinepanies are also making high demands. They can only get 3 billion USD ofpensation in the end, and thewyers will get 1.5 billion. Each of them will get at least 15 million USD!
Most importantly, thewyers don’t need to do much for this case. They only need to provide information on sentencing for simr cases and influence overseas media and public opinion. They are experts in this.
High pay and less work. What’s there toin?
Furthermore, the World’s Richest Man, Feng Yu, might notice them if they did a good job. Look at Wilson. He was not doing as wellpared to them in the past. But after he started working for Feng Yu, his assets shoot up, and he set up manyw firms.
Wilson had gotten lots of clients because of his status as Feng Yu’s top legal counsel.
People will look at thew firm differently if they know the World’s Richest Man hired the firm!
.......
“President, I heard thewyer representing CCTV is called Wilson. He is British and is the legal consultant for Feng Yu.”
“What? Why is Feng Yu getting involve in this case? But what’s there to be afraid of? We have a strong legal team consisting of a few dozenwyers. We will win this case!”
“President, I had received news that Wilson had hired the topw firms in China and around the world. Their legal team has more than 100 famouswyers!”
“Huh?! More than 100wyers?!” John is speechless. Is there a need for so manywyers?! He had heard of legal teams but had never seen such a big legal team. Don’t they knowwyers are expensive?!
What is CCTV trying to do? Why is the Chinese Government not stopping them? This is burning money!
