While everyone in Kitahara was feasting at the hot pot restaurant, a group of people also gathered in the chairman's office of the Shogun Hotel. Chairman Kamesaburo was sitting behind the desk, and the vice president of the Tokyo Bar Association was also sitting on the high-end sofa in the room.

Nagaike, Tokyo Bar Association directors Imanishi, Fumimon, Machiko, and hotel legal director Watanabe. The small tray next to the sofa is filled with exquisite pastries and tea made by the hotel to entertain the lawyers in the room.

Kamesaburo had already heard the legal team’s report on the on-site trial before. He originally thought this was a losing case and didn’t have much hope, but after hearing that Gu Meimen not only put forward many defenses at the court hearing, but also

Kamesaburo was overjoyed when he was able to counterattack the opponent. The sky-high legal fees of nearly 3 billion yen were really well spent.

"Lawyer Gumeimen, will we win this lawsuit?" Kamesaburo's original psychological expectation was to see whether Gumeimen could drag it out for a few years. Looking at it now, they may even be able to make a comeback and win.

.

"Of course." Gu Meimen bowed slightly, like a knight swearing allegiance to the king, but the expression on his face did not mean that he would follow him to the death. Some just expressed that he was extremely satisfied after receiving a large amount of legal fees.

."Wherever your legal fees go, I will lead the chairman to victory."

"Hahaha!" Kamesaburo burst out laughing after hearing this. He leaned back with his bloated body and bent the office chair even further, "Lawyer Gu Meimen's words are interesting! He's refreshing!"

Ikegami and Imanishi next to them looked at this scene with some helplessness. They were originally Kamesaburo's guests, but at this moment, their limelight had been snatched away by Gumeimen. But they had nothing to do, who could let them

They couldn't think of a strategy to deal with it, and they could only think that this was a lawsuit that was bound to lose. At this moment, they could only quietly watch Gu Meimen shine so brightly in front of Kamesaburo.

Kamesaburo picked up the rum on his desk and took a sip. He looked extremely relaxed and comfortable. He raised his head, shook his chair, looked at the ceiling, and said with a smile: "It seems like... Akagi Hotel Group's

The overseas merger and acquisition plan can continue to advance. We don’t have to worry about the impact of this lawsuit on the group."

Watanabe, the legal director next to him, suddenly twitched his brows when he heard these words, and clasped his knees with his hands. Watanabe has been a troubled person over the years as the group's legal director. Kamesaburo is bold and radical in his business strategies and likes to play off the edge. Watanabe

Every time Watanabe raised risk warnings, most of them were waved down or ignored by Kamesaburo. When something happened, Watanabe had to wipe his ass again.

At present, the group may face the risk of demolition of a hotel with a construction cost of more than 72 billion. Once it is really faced with demolition, it will inevitably have an extremely adverse impact on the cash flow of the entire group.

If, under such circumstances, you persist in pursuing an overseas merger and acquisition plan that consumes a large amount of cash, you will undoubtedly be putting your neck in the noose.

Watanabe hesitated for a moment, then spoke again: "Chairman, there is always great uncertainty in the outcome of the lawsuit. We cannot make a definite prediction about the outcome of the case. Although lawyer Gu Meimen may appear to have suppressed the outcome of the case during the trial,

He passed the other party, but the lawyer opposite, Beihara, was also very powerful. He responded methodically and comprehensively to Gu Meimen's defense. It is really difficult to determine how convinced the judge is of both sides' views."

"Therefore, we still have to prepare enough cash flow to cope with any possible situation. As for overseas mergers and acquisitions plans that consume a lot of cash, I suggest that implementation be suspended for now. The court is currently only in the stage of evidence and cross-examination, at least

Wait until the follow-up situation becomes clear before making a decision."

When Kamesaburo heard Watanabe's words, he frowned and looked quite unhappy. At this moment, the chairman of the company was also speechless. The overseas merger and acquisition plan was now tied to the congressman.

It has become something special. It is no longer just a simple business decision.

Now if I suddenly apply the brakes again and disobey that gentleman, I'm afraid...

Thinking of that gentleman's huge network of connections, Kamesaburo couldn't help but tremble. Then he raised his head, looked at Watanabe and said, "With lawyer Gu Meimen here, what should we be afraid of? Don't disturb the public because of this blackmail lawsuit."

This has affected the normal operating pace of our group.”

"But, Chairman!" Watanabe wanted to persuade him again, but Kamesaburo in front of him waved his hand, looking quite angry. Seeing this scene, the legal director had no choice but to keep silent.

"Lawyer Gu Meimen." Kamesaburo raised his head and asked: "The legal team has just reported to me your defense in the trial. I don't know if there are more strategies to deal with the other party's lawsuit. At present,

One of our strategies is to bring in a third party to fight against the plaintiff, and the other strategy is to argue that there was an error in the land boundary measurement, and that the hotel was not at fault when it constructed according to the land boundaries determined by the land registration. In addition, do we have any more?

Strategy."

Gu Meimen sat on the sofa, picked up the coffee cup, and sipped the black tea in it. She looked like an elegant gentleman and aristocrat, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, "Don't worry, Chairman. These previous defenses are just side dishes. For the other party.

Dinner hasn't been served yet. I really want to see how long the other party can last."

Hearing what Gu Meimon said, Ikegami and Imanishi opened their eyes in unison. Today's fierce defense, actually... it was just a side dish, not a meal?! These two lawyers could no longer imagine that Gu Meimon would accept

What is the next legal strategy? The lawyer in front of them with a 100% winning rate has exceeded the limit of their imagination to some extent.

In Tokyo, in addition to the 1000m-500m-200m clubs, there are also anomalies like Gumeimen that are outside the industry evaluation standards.

When Kamesaburo saw that Gu Meimen had more and more powerful back moves, he couldn't help but grinned and smiled even more wantonly. The flesh on his face suddenly piled up, forming two bulges.

Gu Meimen continued to take a sip of black tea and sneered: "This case has a relatively large influence on public opinion. The court should hold consecutive sessions and end the public trial as soon as possible. The trial should continue until Christmas. Tomorrow will be the second session, so

It happens to be Christmas Eve."

"Tomorrow, I think this should be over."

The barrister's faint laughter echoed in the room.

This laughter gave people a vague feeling of terror.

It was as if he could really, like crushing an ant, crush the two young plaintiff lawyers into pieces in tomorrow's court trial and end the battle on Christmas Eve.

"Okay! Lawyer Gu Meimen! Our overseas merger and acquisition plan will continue to advance!" Kamesaburo took another sip of rum, stood up, and walked proudly to the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office, overlooking the green patch of greenery.
Chapter completed!
