The trial in Fengcheng is in full swing. The lawyers of Monsanto and Ron law firm are fighting with each other. They come and go in the court, quoting from the classics. The fierce battle in the court makes all the reporters feel relaxed and dizzy. This trial can be regarded as the best script of a classic Hollywood court play.
However, the trend in the court can clearly see that it is impossible for Monsanto to want to be exempted from liability under the irrefutable evidence of 500000 malformed children. After all, chemists from any country can find the residue of Agent Orange from these deformed children, which is enough to prove the harm of agent orange.
As for the other side, there is also a lot of hard evidence about the abnormal organs of the 13240 farmers. However, compared with the evidence of Agent Orange, this side is more relaxed. After all, it can only prove that they are contaminated, but it can't prove that they are contaminated by genetically modified genes and lead to organ mutation. As long as it can not be proved that this is from the transgenic contaminated organ mutation, then Monsanto will not suffer a heavy blow.
Of course, the claim of 500000 malformed children in Vietnam is also extremely astonishing, with 35 billion US dollars, which is enough to make Monsanto unable to afford. Therefore, while entrusting lawyers to fight a lawsuit, Hugh Grant also used the influence of the consortium to pressure the Vietnamese government to bring back the 500000 deformed children. Otherwise, DuPont will suspend its investment in Vietnam and the US government's investment in Vietnam.
Although the Vietnamese government is very angry at such a naked threat, it is helpless. The world has always been very realistic and cruel. In desperation, the Vietnamese government contacted the parents or relatives of these deformed children and asked them to take them back to Vietnam. The Vietnamese government will provide them with free medical services and suitable jobs for their families. Of course, Hugh Grant guarantees both.
After all, compared to the 35 billion dollars in compensation, the cost of the treatment is not worth mentioning. After all, Vietnam's price index is low, Vietnam's hospital treatment costs a few dollars. On the contrary, if the case is lost, the first thing to pay is $35 billion in compensation for mental damage. That's what Ron's put forward. On average, that's $70000 per person. And the $70000 is for the parents of these deformed children and their families.
After that, Monsanto had to pay for all the treatment. If it can't be cured, then we have to bear all the expenses from birth to death. The compensation plan determined by law firm Ron is based on the national GDP index and price inflation index of the United States in the past 20 years. Each person should be compensated to at least 70 years old, with an annual compensation of at least $100000, that is, each person should be compensated $7 million in living compensation.
According to Ron's calculation, every deformed child living in the United States spends at least $30000 a year. For a nurse, the cost will not be less than $70000 a year due to the need for 24-hour care. So, 100000 dollars a year. As for why we should be in the United States, not Vietnam, Ron's words are very simple, because these Vietnamese children are unfortunate because of American companies. And Vietnam is a developing country, living environment is not comfortable, even very bad. This time, they have the courage to stand up and fight for their own rights, which requires great courage. Therefore, they should enjoy the best living environment in the best country in the world.
So each person has to make up $7 million for the cost of living. That's 350 billion dollars. This is an astronomical number. It can be said that Monsanto has not made so much money since he made money. This needs to be compensated. Even if it is DuPont consortium, it will be distressed. After all, the DuPont consortium's total assets are only 35 trillion US dollars. How can the DuPont consortium not be distressed that it will compensate one tenth of the total assets at once.
What's more, Ron also put forward a "compensation for incompetence in life" madly. What is this "compensation for incompetence in life"? It means that these 500000 deformed children can't enjoy the beauty of life at all. In this life, even if they compensate for their living expenses, they can only live a miserable life and have no way to enjoy the beauty of life. So, although the money can't compensate for the good, it can punish the companies that do it, and let other companies around the world take warning.
Ron's compensation plan is $100 million per person. The total amount is 50 trillion US dollars. If you add up the previous 350 billion US dollars and 35 billion US dollars, that will add up to 53.535 trillion US dollars.
This figure, even if the entire DuPont consortium is compensated, is not enough. You say, how crazy Ron is. Of course, Ron also stated to the court that if Monsanto could not make compensation, it would make a claim like its parent company DuPont consortium. If DuPont filed for Monsanto's bankruptcy, these deformed children would be Monsanto's biggest creditors. And they have entrusted Lin Feng, if Monsanto goes bankrupt, all its intellectual property rights and industrial bases will be managed by Lin Feng, and the profits will help these 500000 deformed children spend the rest of their lives.
"Shameless, shameless!" In the face of such a shameless law firm, Hugh Grant can only resort to this outside trick to ask the Vietnamese government to recall these families. If there is no plaintiff, then the lawsuit will naturally be withdrawn.
The Vietnamese government also "actively" responded to Hugh Grant's recall. However, in the past, the family members of the malformed children in Vietnam were completely ignored by the phone calls of the government staff. I'm not even touched. Joke, this is just to provide free treatment, and the disease, to tell you the truth, is useless. Has become a stubborn disease, has brought a lifetime of pain to these poor deformed children. Free treatment. That's just a joke.
Now what they want is not treatment, but compensation, which can make the family easier and make the life of these deformed children easier. Therefore, these promises of the Vietnamese government are equivalent to nothing.
Under the scoundrel, the Vietnamese government sent officials directly. In Vietnam, which is also a socialist country, this official is very arrogant and directly scolds the families of these deformed children for humiliating the Vietnamese people. They were ordered to bring people home immediately. Otherwise, they will be sentenced to prison.
I have to say that this threat is still a great deterrent to these Vietnamese people. It's going to be jail. It's going to be miserable. It's not so easy to stay in that cell. Vietnam's prison is not a place for people to stay.
With such a threat, many people are afraid and want to shrink back. These Vietnamese officials, in particular, threatened that if they lost the lawsuit, they would have to live on the streets in the United States, be homeless, or even die in a foreign country. This is undoubtedly a terrible thing for the Vietnamese with a local complex.
Immediately, many people want to go. But he was persuaded by Ron.
"You can rest assured that since Mr. Lin has brought you here, he will not ignore you. Even if you lose this lawsuit, Mr. Lin will give you a new home to help you solve your life problems, so that you can live a happy life. " As for the threat from the Vietnamese government, you don't have to worry. This is the United States. No matter any country comes here, it must abide by the laws of the United States. So you don't have to worry about the threat from the Vietnamese government at all! "
After hearing this, the public was greatly relieved. They may not believe in American law, but they will not believe in Lin Feng's promise. Despite the large number of them, there are a total of 500000, including more than one million relatives who came to take care of them. But basically in Vietnam, there are few people who have visited all the provinces of Vietnam. But this time, they came to the dream of Paradise - the United States.
Moreover, the daily living expenses of more than 1 million people are borne by Lin Feng. Let them eat well, drink well and live well here. Therefore, they believe in Lin Feng's promise. Since Lin Feng said he would take care of them, he would take care of them.
Therefore, they will fight with Monsanto to the end!
This time, but let Hugh Grant depressed to death. He doesn't understand. Why do these people believe in Lin Feng so much that they are not afraid to lose the lawsuit and starve to death in the street! Now these people are determined to fight a lawsuit, which makes Hugh Grant nervous. As far as the current court situation is concerned, there is no problem with genetically modified organisms. The maximum compensation is only a few hundred million dollars. After all, there is no direct evidence to prove that they are caused by genetically modified organisms.
However, the complaint of 500000 malformed children has begun to shift to 500000 malformed children. Both judges and juries have begun to show a clear tendency towards the victory of these 500000 deformed children. After all, the harm of Agent Orange has always been known, but never known that the harm would be so great.
I'm afraid that the jury and the judge are now considering how much to pay. If the compensation is too much, Monsanto will go bankrupt. But the compensation is too little, and that doesn't make any sense. After all, this is half a million deformed children! Half a million! It's useless for you to compensate hundreds of millions.
"What to do? What shall we do? " Hugh Grant asked DuPont again. But now, he can't see old DuPont's people at all, and the phone calls are all transferred by the secretary. The message that followed was that Monsanto had to solve the problem on his own.
Self solving? How can I solve this problem! Hugh Grant wailed.
