Chapter 348 Reconciliation out of court
"Then, let's discuss now whether it's worth the compensation." Attorney Union indicated, and his assistant, Assistant Attorney Ron, took a document and handed it to the judge.
"These are admission notices from Harvard, Stanford and Berkeley. They have all admitted my client and are willing to provide full scholarships to my client." Union said, "This is enough to prove that it is my client.
He is so outstanding that he can get admission notices from Harvard, Stanford, and Berkeley University before he is 15 years old this year. He can choose any of these three top universities in the world to go to school and continue his studies."
"Your Honor, this is not enough to prove that the plaintiff has a reason to demand such a huge amount of compensation!" the lawyer representing the Portland Police Bureau argued immediately.
"Your Honor, this is the current world ranking of the world's top universities in China, as well as a comparison of the list of Nobel Prize winners from Harvard and other schools and the school where my client is studying! We can easily find that Tsinghua University, where my client is studying, is simply
No one has won the Nobel Prize." Lawyer Union said, "In China, my client is the top scorer in the college entrance examination with perfect scores, and is also a talented student at the conservatory. In China, he is already the most outstanding student. He has already
I can’t get a better platform to improve myself.”
The judge compared it carefully and nodded.
"As for why the compensation of 5 million US dollars was proposed, it is because the Nobel Prize is so much!" Lawyer Union said.
"Your Honor, last year's Nobel Prize winner could only earn US$1 million at most. He is asking for US$5 million, which is too much!" the lawyer representing the Portland police said anxiously, "Besides, even if he came to the United States to study
, you may not be able to win the Nobel Prize! This calculation is unfair.”
"Your Honor, regarding the calculation of the bonus, I calculated it like this. The bonus for the Nobel Prize has been rising continuously, and my client is still young. It is definitely impossible for him to win the Nobel Prize now, but he can get it in the future.
At least there is a lot of hope, considering his smart mind, he is very hopeful to win. I calculated based on the Nobel Prize bonus in 20 years, it will be almost 5 million US dollars! And the defense lawyer said that he came to the United States
It’s true that you may not be able to get it, but if you don’t come, you definitely won’t get it!” Union looked serious, “It’s like Schrödinger’s cat, if you don’t come, how do you know you can’t get it.”
"But he can come at any time. My client has not caused any harm to him." The defense lawyer argued.
"No, he has already rejected it. He has rejected all the admission letters. My client has decided to consider whether to study in the United States again after he reaches adulthood. And when he reaches adulthood, he will waste the most precious three years of his life.
In these three years, a genius scientist may be born who will change the world. Calculated this way, $5 million is just a small number! Because of your actions, you have delayed the most precious life of a scientist who may change the world.
Three years!" Union said with a serious face, "So, your honor, I hope you can pronounce the sentence from this perspective."
"Absurd! This is simply ridiculous! No one can guarantee that they can change the world!" the defense lawyer almost roared.
"I'm just talking about possibilities. The possibility of my client is greater than that of ordinary people. I think no one can deny this." Union said calmly.
The defense lawyer still wanted to argue, when the judge knocked the gavel.
"Both of you, come here!" The judge summoned the two lawyers over.
"As for this matter, I suggest you settle it out of court." The judge said, "With such a large amount of compensation, I think it must be a huge amount for the Portland Police Bureau. I suggest you settle it out of court, otherwise once the verdict is announced
, I have to announce this matter, which will have an impact on the reputation of the Portland Police Bureau and even the city of Portland. And for your client, it will also give people a suspicion of blackmail. So,
I suggest you settle. But the money should be less. I propose, 3 million US dollars! No more!"
Lawyer Union smiled slightly.
This kind of lawsuit will definitely not be pronounced and will not continue. What he wants is an out-of-court settlement. If the lawsuit really continues, the final result may not necessarily be satisfactory. The judge has the right to modify the compensation. If a verdict is really necessary,
Perhaps $1 million is the highest price.
If he doesn't pronounce a verdict, he will accept the US$3 million.
"$3 million is still too high." The defense lawyer was a little annoyed.
"With this number, don't make this matter a big deal. I don't want this matter to become an international incident. Don't forget that he is a genius prodigy from China," the judge warned.
"Especially since Portland's economy is not developed, I don't want this lawsuit to affect future international students going to Portland to study, or Chinese investment," the judge warned again.
As a judge, when pronouncing a judgment, he must consider many aspects. Because his judgment will directly affect the judgment of other subsequent cases, and it will also affect the status of a city. Therefore, he must be cautious.
In this aspect, he is definitely more inclined to Qin Feng.
Of course, this is also because Qin Feng has a great background, has so much evidence, and is not short of money. He will naturally give him a little sweetness for this kind of person.
"Let me discuss it with my client!" The defense lawyer had no choice but to go back to discuss it with the Portland police.
After a long discussion, the result was reached.
"My client agreed to settle out of court!" the defense lawyer said helplessly.
"Your Honor, my client also agrees to settle!" Lawyer Union beamed.
If it's 37%, he gets 70%, which is a profit of 900,000 US dollars. His total investment in this lawsuit was only tens of thousands of US dollars, including his own expensive labor, but he gained 900,000 US dollars.
.
This is a big gain.
"Thank you, Union!" Qin Feng was also very satisfied.
I was able to get a compensation of US$2.1 million in the end. It was very high! I came to the United States without spending a penny and made a lot of money. How could this not be cost-effective?
"Congratulations, Mr. Qin!" Assistant Lawyer Ron congratulated him.
"Thank you for your help these days, Ron Union. He is very good. I think he has a great future!" Qin Feng naturally did not forget to praise Ron who accompanied him to the exam.
"Well, after this time, I decided to hand over the law firm to him. I am just an investor and will no longer participate in the daily management of the law firm." Union said.
"Ah? Why?" Qin Feng was stunned.
"I am 50 years old this year. With this money, I can retire and enjoy life. And with the fame of this lawsuit, I believe Ron can do better. In that way, as an investor
, although I earn less, it’s easier.” Union explained with a smile.
Qin Feng suddenly realized.
"Congratulations on your happy retirement!" Qin Feng smiled.
"Of course, congratulations to Ron, you now have your own law firm!" Qin Feng said with a smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Qin, and please take good care of me in the future!" Ron nodded with a smile.
Chapter completed!
