Chapter 384 Vulture

Chicago 1990 Chapter 384 The Vulture Audio Novel Listen Online

The "vulture" group of lawyers in the United States is a very unique group. They are the litigators of the litigants, and they will pursue any litigation needs that may bring benefits. Large-scale class action is their favorite attack. In this way, cultural and sports stars, big companies, government agencies, etc. are their favorite defendants, and victims whose family backgrounds generally do not have deep social connections are their favorite plaintiffs.

They will often sign a contract similar to a gambling agreement with a plaintiff who is eager for money but has little knowledge of the law. If they receive a compensation of one million, I will share 50% of it; They are even willing to bear part or all of the high litigation costs for the plaintiff like venture capital.

This kind of behavior is sometimes beneficial to society. For example, in the Ford to car fuel tank fire case in 1978, vulture lawyers won a total of 127.8 billion dollars in compensation from the jury for the three victims. Although the final amount of compensation was far less than this figure, and the amount of the out-of-court settlement was also kept secret, this move deterred Ford, causing it to recall cars on a large scale to solve design problems and save the future potential of drivers and passengers. Loss of life and property, seeking justice for the victims and enabling the severely burned passengers in this accident to have enough wealth to spend the rest of their lives suffering from illness. Vulture lawyers themselves also made a lot of money in this lawsuit, It can be said to be a positive case of multiple wins.

But most of the time, this kind of behavior is of no benefit, and it also adds fuel to the already contentious social atmosphere in the United States. It was still Ford's to car. In 1980, another group of lawyers tried to do the same to eat big players. As a result, under Ford's resolute counterattack, each plaintiff finally received a compensation of 7,500 dollars. All the huge initial investment of the vultures was in vain. Exhausted from the protracted litigation process, leaving the courtroom with double pain.

The probability of them succeeding in big companies is very low. What they like most is big stars and government agencies that pay attention to reputation. Big stars often choose to settle in private when faced with false accusations, even if they are wronged, because stars can’t afford the litigation process. The loss of reputation caused by being questioned by the public.

Of course, having said that, the celebrities themselves are not very clean, without the deterrence of this group of people, I am afraid that their behavior will be even more disorderly.

And officials of government agencies often make these shameless guys succeed for election or promotion. For example, the public subway company in New York spends a lot of money every year with lawyers and plaintiffs for various reasons. It's all taxpayers' money. As long as the money can be wiped out, the officials won't feel bad about paying for it.

This group of very contradictory groups is now eyeing Song Ya for the first time.

The "die hard" fans who had just had a good chat with Hamlin before changed their minds immediately after being seduced by the vulture lawyer's "money" scene. What is an idol? Can I eat it? The lawyers also contacted his other friends who were physically abnormal at the party, preparing to launch a class action lawsuit.

"I just talked with the other party's lawyer, and they asked for 10 million for a private settlement."

"They're threatening not to agree to a settlement to enlist more victims across the country in this lawsuit and make things bigger," Hamlin said.

"What are they suing me for?"

Song Ya laughed angrily, "None of them use my company's products!"

"You don't sound like someone with law school aspirations uttering as."

Hamlin is very serious, "They will sue you for deliberately using bad demonstrations and ignoring the safety disclosure obligation in the v of whereisthelove. You own 80% of Bahn's shares. They can easily find out. They will seek Define your v as a promotional product containing a commercial."

"I was playing at my own home, and I didn't give any hints." Song Ya felt that something was wrong, "You didn't warn me either."

"Me and Goodman didn't expect anyone to be that stupid, but it happened."

"Your motivation is going to be the key to the offense and defense of the court," Hamlin said.

You have told many people that you rely on this part of the v to bring your own fluorescent agent, right? "

Song Ya calmed down and thought about it carefully. He didn't take precautions against it, at least he didn't cover it up. I said this to the producer of Sony Columbia Records, to the director Larry, and to the photographer of the crew. Please, don't hold back from your own people...

"You have a lot of loopholes once a lawsuit is filed."

Hamlin said, "In the end, you won't lose much money, but if you continue to fight, it will damage your reputation. If you don't say anything else, will you still sell clothes? The word toxic fluorescent agent must never be used." Something to do with the textile industry..."

"fxxk! These bloody hooligans!"

Song Ya cursed, "Do you have any suggestions?"

"It is absolutely impossible for us to pay 10 million yuan, so we must first show the strongest stance, lower their psychological expectations, and prepare for future reconciliation. I suggest trying not to carry out long-term litigation offenses and defenses. Please pay attention, New York prosecutors The system has always been biased towards Giuliani, and you made a big statement supporting Dinkins at the last New Year's Eve event."

Hamlin replied, "We also need to put warning words such as do not imitate under the first music video and whereisthelove's fluorescent party clip."

"What about the ones that have already been sold?" Song Ya asked.

"Don't worry about that for now, let's wait for the other party's next reaction." Hamlin said, "Take Goodman and Eli, especially Eli, to discuss it. He is professional in crisis public relations."

"Okay, tell them for me, even if it costs 20 million to file a lawsuit, I won't settle with them."

Song Ya gritted her teeth.

"If you don't say it, I will say the same."

Hamlin hung up the phone.

Not long after, the cars of Goodman, Eli, Yeremov and others drove into Highland Park.

"Mr. Motura, okay, thank you, I know, I will bear the money for re-mastering the music video, yes, it's a small trouble, not a big problem."

Motura agreed to stop the production line of the music video over there, and re-record the version with warning words. He was relieved a little, and hung up the phone, "Do you know everything? What should I do?"

Eli scratched his head, "Do everything you can do first, let's see what they say about your strong refusal for the time being, for a lawsuit claiming 10 million yuan, the capital of vulture lawyers will not be small, and we must not ignore it." Let them make moves."

The opponent’s reaction came quickly. The next day, the opponent’s lawyer, full of a sense of ‘justice’, took the ‘victim fan’ to an interview outside the local court near his residence.

"The civil lawsuit we initiated is aimed at seeking justice for the physical and mental injuries suffered by the plaintiff, and to stop the singer as from inducing the general public, especially teenagers, to use fluorescent agents with potential safety hazards in parties. According to the evidence we have , as holds about 80% of the shares of Bahn Company. He used the company's products in the v containing where is the love, and broadcast it many times on various TV stations across the country. We are still counting the specific data, including The music tape of this v has also sold more than 150,000 copies..."

After returning home from school, after watching the short news footage in the study, Taraji turned off the TV, "What should we do?" Song Ya asked.

"Bad things can be turned into good things as well."

Eli shrugged, he didn't seem to think it was too troublesome, "You are a star, your income ranked fourth on Fujibi's singer list last year, countless people want to get something from you, Americans have long been used to this scene There will be more and more similar things in the future, and you are not even worth putting too much energy into this kind of thing."

"But what if the other party associates the 'fluorescent agent' with as's clothing brand?" Goodman, who was lying on the sofa, asked.

"Their means are nothing more than those. The general public doesn't have the patience to read the lawsuit carefully, and their brain capacity can't remember too long sentences. So, as, there is a fluorescent agent, and he also sells clothes, as, there is a Fluorescent agent, he also sells clothes... As long as they keep repeating these words in the media, it will definitely have an impact on people's buying psychology. They are smart people, and they dare not open their mouths if they don't see this. "

Eli said: "This is war, and a public relations war is also a war. We need not only a rigorous, long-winded response endorsed by the Consumer Association, but also a need to keep instilling some memorable and pleasant phrases to the public, such as... "

He thought for a while, "Only Bath's fluorescent agent, harmless and harmless, only Bath's fluorescent agent, harmless and harmless..." As he spoke, he began to learn the rhythm of ra and hum.

Everyone in the room laughed, and Song Ya was also amused.

"Also, a+t-shirt does not contain fluorescein, a+t-shirt does not contain fluoride..."

He said: "This is the heat. Celebrities need this, and so do products, and they are delivered to their door. We must immediately start repeating these short sentences in the media, and then find a good opportunity to quietly and The other party settles with an acceptable amount, signs a silent agreement, and then... the matter is settled."

Yeremov clapped his hands and admired sincerely, "

avo! "

Eli bowed to him in an exaggerated salute.

"I hope so."

Song Ya felt that this was the only way to go, "It's just that those vultures and that stupid 'fan' of me are cheaper, and this set will cost a lot of money."

"You have to get used to as."

Goodman said: "They all buy clothes. Think about GA, think about Nike, think about Converse, they spend a lot of money on this every year."

"By the way, my parity strategy won't attract the vigilance of companies like Wal-Mart or GA, right?" Song Ya asked.

"If you continue to sell and sell to a certain scale, you will definitely, but it's still early." Eli replied.
