Chapter 385

The part of American lawyers in the name of "vulture" is a very unique group. They are among the solicitors and will pursue any litigation demand that may bring benefits. Large scale collective prosecution is their favorite way of attack. Sports stars, big companies, government agencies and so on are their favorite defendants. Their families are generally victims without deep social relations Is their favorite plaintiff.

They often sign contracts similar to gambling agreements with plaintiffs who are eager for money but have little knowledge of the law. They are willing to bear part or all of the high litigation costs for the plaintiff like venture capital.

Such behavior is sometimes beneficial to the society. For example, in the 78 Ford Pinto gas tank fire case, vulture lawyers won jury damages totalling $127.8 million for three victims. Although the final amount of compensation is far less than this figure, and the amount of settlement out of court is also confidential, this act has greatly deterred Ford company, ordered it to recall cars on a large scale to solve the design hidden trouble, save the possible life and property loss of drivers and passengers in the future, seek justice for the victims, and make the passengers who are severely burned in the accident have enough wealth to survive the illness In the second half of his life, vulture lawyers themselves have made a lot of money in this lawsuit, which can be said to be a positive case of win-win.

However, most of the time, this kind of behavior is not good, and it also makes the social atmosphere of the United States which has become a trend of disputes. It was Ford's Pinto car. In 1980, a group of lawyers tried to follow the same pattern to eat big businesses. As a result, under Ford's resolute counterattack, each plaintiff finally got $7500. All the huge prophase investment of vultures was completely wasted. The plaintiff was exhausted in the long-term litigation process and left the court with double pain.

The probability that they will succeed 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 private reconciliation in the face of false accusations, even if they are wronged, because stars can't afford the reputation loss caused by being questioned by the public in the litigation process.

Of course, in other words, the stars themselves are not very clean. Without the awe of these people, I'm afraid their behavior will be more out of order.

Officials of government agencies often make these shameless guys succeed for election or promotion. For example, the public subway company in New York has to accompany lawyers and plaintiffs for various reasons every year. In fact, the money is for taxpayers. As long as they can spend money to eliminate disasters, officials will not be distressed.

This very contradictory group of people, now for the first time, have their eyes on Song ya.

"Die loyal" fans who had just had a good talk with Hamlin changed their mouths immediately after they were enticed by vulture lawyers to show "money". What is the idol? Can I eat it? The lawyers also contacted his friends who were physically abnormal at the party to start a class action lawsuit.

"I just talked to the other lawyer and they asked for 10 million in private settlement."

"They are threatening not to agree to a settlement, and they are going to recruit more victims across the country to participate in this lawsuit and make a big deal of it," Hamlin said

"What are they suing me for?"

Song Ya was angry and laughed, "they don't use our products!"

"You don't sound like a law school aspirant, aplus."

Hamlin is very serious. "They will sue you for deliberately using bad demonstration in the MV of where is the love and neglecting the safety disclosure obligation. You have 80% shares of Bain company. They can easily find out. They will seek to define your MV as promotional products containing commercial advertisements."

"I played in my own house and I didn't give any hint." Song Ya felt that things were a little bad, "you have not warned me."

"Goodman and I didn't expect anyone to be so stupid, but it just happened."

"Your opportunity is the key to the court's offense and defense," Hamlin said. "You told a lot of people that you would use this part of the MV to bring your own fluorescent products, right?"

Song Ya calmed down and thought about it carefully. He didn't guard against this aspect. At least, he didn't cover up. He told the producer of Sony Columbia Records, director Larry, the cameraman of the film crew, and he didn't cover up his own people

"You'll have a lot of loopholes as soon as you start a lawsuit."

Hamlin said, "in the end, you won't lose much money, but if you keep fighting, your reputation will be damaged. If you don't say anything else, do you still sell clothes? The word "toxic fluorescent agent" must not be associated with the textile industry... "

“Fxxk！ These damned hooligans

Song Ya scolded a rude word, "what do you suggest?"

"We can't afford to pay $10 million, so we have to show the strongest stance first, lower their psychological expectations and prepare for future reconciliation. I suggest that we try not to engage in long-term litigation and defense. Please note that the New York prosecutorial system has always been biased towards Giuliani, like the party, and you gave high-profile support to Dinkins in the last New Year's activities. "

Hamlin replied, "we also need to put a warning below the first music video and where is the love's glowing party footage, such as don't imitate.""What about those that have been sold?" Song Ya asked.

"Don't worry about that for the moment. Wait for the next reaction." Hamlin said, "you can talk to Goodman and Eli, especially Eli. He is professional in crisis public relations."

"Well, tell them for me that I won't reconcile with them even if it costs 20 million yuan."

Song Ya gnawed his teeth.

"You don't say I'll do the same."

Hamlin hung up the phone.

Before long, Goodman, Eli, yelemov and others drove into Highland Park.

"Mr. motura, OK, thank you. I know that I will pay for the re production of the music video. Yes, it's a little trouble. It's not a big problem."

Motura agreed to stop the production line of the music video over there and record the warning version again. He put his mind down a little and hung up the phone. "Do you know everything? What to do? "

Eli scratched his head. "I'll do everything I can. Let's see what they say about your tough refusal for the time being. For a lawsuit with a claim of 10 million yuan, vulture lawyers will pay no less capital. They can't help but take action."

The other side's reaction soon came. The next day, the lawyer with a sense of justice of the other side took the "victim fans" to an interview outside the local court near their residence.

"The civil lawsuit we initiated aims to seek justice for the plaintiff's physical and mental injury, and to stop the singer aplus from inducing the general public, especially teenagers, to use fluorescent agents with potential safety hazards in the party. According to the evidence we have, aplus holds about 80% of the shares of Bain company. He has used the products of aplus into the MV containing where is the love, which has been broadcast many times in various TV stations in the whole meter. The specific data are still in our statistics, and more than 150000 music tapes containing the MV have been sold... "

Coming home from school, after watching the short news footage in his study, taraj turned off the TV, "what shall we do?" Song Ya asked.

"Bad things can be good things, aplus."

Eli shrugged. He didn't think it was too troublesome. "You are a star. Your income ranked fourth in Fuji's list last year. Countless people want to make something out of you. Americans have been used to this scene. In the future, there will be more and more similar things. You don't even deserve to put too much energy into this kind of thing."

"But what if the other party connects the" youyou fluorescent "with aplus's clothing brand Asked Goodman, lying on the sofa.

"Their means are nothing more than those. The general public have no patience to read the lawsuit carefully, and their brain capacity simply can't remember too long sentences. So, aplus, there is fluorescent, he also sells clothes, aplus, he also sells clothes As long as they keep repeating these words in the media, it will certainly have an impact on the purchasing psychology of the people. They are smart people, and they dare not open their mouths if they don't see it. "

"This is the war, and the public relations war is also a war. We need rigorous, lengthy responses endorsed by consumer associations, and we also need to constantly instill some memorable and pleasant phrases into the public, such as..."

He thought for a moment, "only the fluorescent agent of Bain is harmless, but only the fluorescent agent of Bain is harmless..." With that, he began to learn rap rhythm and hum.

Everyone in the room laughed and song Ya was amused.

"Also, a + T-shirt, which does not contain 毐毐毐毐毐毐毐毐毐毐毐毐毐毐毐毐毐毐毐毐毐

"That's the heat," he said. "Stars need these, and so do goods, and they're delivered to their homes on their own initiative. We should immediately start to read these short sentences in the media, and then find a good opportunity to quietly settle with the other party at an acceptable amount, sign a sealed agreement, and then It's settled. "

Yelemov clapped his hands and said, "Bravo!"

Eli bowed down to him with exaggerated gestures.

"I hope so."

Song Ya can only feel like this, "it's cheap for the vultures and the stupid fans of mine, and this set will cost a lot of money."

"You have to get used to aplus."

"It's all about clothes. Think about gap, think about Nike, think about converse. They spend a lot of money on it every year," Goodman said

"By the way, my parity strategy won't arouse the vigilance of Wal mart or gap companies?" Song Ya asked.

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