Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 191 Legal Director
At 2:30 p.m., General Hotel, conference room on the 63rd floor.

In the meeting room, the exquisite lamps on the ceiling shine bright golden light, the floor-to-ceiling windows at the end can see the spectacular skyscrapers of Shinjuku, and the floor has been covered with exquisite red carpets. The economic strength of a super first-class hotel group in Japan.

There was a long table in the middle of the venue, and more than 20 legal specialists were sitting on both sides of the long table.At the end of this long table, a cup of tea and a stack of materials have been prepared.These legal specialists are waiting for the arrival of director Watanabe.

After a while, the door of the meeting room opened, and an executive lady appeared beside the door. She bowed slightly to salute. Afterwards, Watanabe stepped into the meeting room, and he walked straight to the place prepared for him at the end of the long table with a look of urgency. , took off the big windbreaker on his body, sat on the seat, scanned the venue with his eyes, and said:

"Recently, many affairs of the hotel are relatively busy. This lawsuit on your side, just briefly report, okay."

Hearing Watanabe's words, a legal officer flipped through the materials in a hurry. He picked up a remote control on the table and pressed it. Then, with a "click", the projection screen in the meeting room slowly lowered, and the meeting The sound of "Zi, Z, Z" came from the projector above the room, and the machine began to warm up.

When Watanabe saw that his subordinate hadn't prepared the projector in advance, his complexion became slightly gloomy.At the critical moment of being extremely busy right now, every minute and every second is very precious, Watanabe couldn't help but slightly raised his voice and said: "Report directly! No need for any slides!!"

"Yes, yes, yes." The legal commissioner replied tremblingly, and then began to report: "Director Watanabe, the thing is like this, there is a green field next to the General Hotel..." The legal commissioner said a little A dull voice echoed in the meeting room.

Since the main backbone of the legal department has been transferred to be responsible for overseas mergers and acquisitions, as well as handling the revolving door incident in Kansai.Those reporting to Watanabe today are all lower-level legal department employees.Perhaps because today was the first time the commissioner reported to the director, he was a little overly nervous, and the commissioner's voice seemed a little trembling, and his speech kept stuttering, repeating some meaningless modal particles or conjunctions.

Impatiently, Watanabe turned over the materials on the table and looked at them by himself.Sweeping his eyes over the materials, Watanabe's expression became more cloudy, and the muscles on his face twitched slightly. Then, as if he couldn't help it, he slammed the A4 paper in his hand onto the floor of the conference room. on the desktop.

"For such a small case, you want me to come to the meeting?! It's just a pillar, occupying two square meters, and you want me to come and listen to the report in person?!"

The commissioner's report was interrupted by the sudden voice of Watanabe, and he became even more nervous. The commissioner looked at the hotel venue in a daze, and then stammered, "According to...according to...the internal regulations of the hotel .Any dispute over the ownership of the hotel land is a major matter that needs to be reported to the legal director. Although... although... it only occupies two... square meters of land...but...but it seems that Because it belongs to the plot...the ownership is disputed, so it also needs to be reported."

"Why are you so stupid!" Watanabe scolded directly, "Look at this civil complaint, it's so short. There is only one simple request, which is to remove the large pillar in the southwest corner of the Grand General Hotel. And the factual part , just a simple sentence, on November 11, during the land boundary surveying and mapping, it was found that the hotel column invaded the plaintiff's land boundary by two square meters, and requested the court to rule out the hotel's interference with its land. The entire text of the complaint does not exceed three sentences. Do you think such trivial matters should be reported to me?!"

"This kind of indictment, at a glance, is known to be a citizen who wrote it casually and took it to the court to file! Don't you even know how to handle this kind of thing?!" Watanabe felt that he came to the Grand General Hotel today to participate in this Reporting is such a waste of time.

"Wat... Director Watanabe." The commissioner stammered, "Yes... the other party has hired a lawyer, and... there are two lawyers."

Hearing this answer, Watanabe couldn't help but sneered slightly, "After hiring two lawyers, you wrote this kind of civil complaint with less than three sentences in the text?! Where can I find a street lawyer? This kind of random Just messing around, lawyers who cheat clients out of money, can't you handle it?!"

Then, Watanabe looked at the legal affairs specialists in the room who were not in a good mood, shook his head helplessly, picked up the hot tea beside him and drank it, and said educationally: "Now the hotel group has a lot of affairs and is very busy. Many of you at the bottom Commissioner, you must also learn to handle things by yourself and check. Do you understand?"

Watanabe sighed, "You just talk about the current case, what is your conclusion."

"Director Watanabe. It's like this. We checked the land boundary survey map and conducted on-site inspections. Our pillars did fall on someone else's land boundary. We have contacted a construction company to see how to demolish our hotel and fall on someone else's land. The pillars within the boundaries. This afternoon, people from the construction company will come to the hotel, check the site, and then give a plan."

"Then it's settled. What else do you need me to do?" Watanabe spread his hands and shook his head again.Afterwards, Watanabe looked at the meeting room and felt in his heart that since everyone had already arrived, it should be considered a small break during busy hours.

The legal director immediately raised his head and said, "Ask the secretary to prepare some snacks, and I'll have a light meal in the meeting room. Then, you can call the construction company directly to see if they have a plan."

Hearing this order, a commissioner in the meeting room hurriedly got up and walked out of the venue, asking the outside administrator to prepare some tea and snacks.Afterwards, the commissioner who was reporting pressed the PA button of the telephone system in the meeting room and started calling the construction company.

Soon, some exquisite refreshments were delivered to the conference room.Watanabe ate the cake and began to listen to the communication between the legal specialist and the construction company here.

"Hello, this is the legal department of Chimu Hotel Group. How about the engineering survey for removing the column by two square meters in the afternoon? Has the plan come out?" the commissioner said to the phone.

Some noisy voices came from the black telephone.

Then, a heavy male voice came, "It's impossible for us to do the matter of your hotel's pillars. My side has already closed the team and is on the way back to the company."

"Ah? Why. Isn't it just to remove a pillar. What can't be done?" Hearing such an answer, the commissioner couldn't help feeling nervous.Just now, the legal director has already made a fuss.If he couldn't even solve a small project like removing a pillar now, he might have to be scolded again.

"Don't you hotel understand? This column is the load-bearing column of your entire building. As long as it is removed, the entire building will be destroyed!"

The contractor's answer echoed through the telephone in the meeting room.

In an instant, it was like the curtain covering a caged car was lifted.In the cage car under the curtain, it turned out to be a terrifying man-eating monster.Only then did the crowd watching around the caged car realize what a dangerous situation they were in, and then looked intently, and found that the door lock of the caged car was broken.

It seemed that this turning point was so sudden that the entire conference room fell silent.

Watanabe was holding the hand of Xibing, and stopped. After almost a minute of silence, the legal director seemed to have digested the meaning of the contractor.However, after realizing the possible consequences, Watanabe's face trembled suddenly. Regardless of the pieces of Western cakes still chewing in his mouth, he grabbed the civil complaint and rushed to the phone , "What do you mean? As long as that pillar is moved, the entire hotel must be demolished?!"

"Yes." The voice on the phone said impatiently, "Not to mention the whole of Tokyo, even the whole of Toyo, it is impossible for a construction company to take on this job. However, you must not do it yourself. If you smash it a little bit, the whole building will become a dangerous building! Okay, let’s not talk about it, I still have something to do here..."

The phone hangs up.

Only the voice of "beep, beep, beep" echoed in the huge conference room.

At this moment, Watanabe once again looked at the claim recorded in this complaint—"Request the owner of the General Hotel, the defendant Akagi Hotel Group, and the defendant Keiji Tokugawa, to remove the column at the southwest corner of the hotel involved."

Watanabe's face gradually turned pale, and a chill came to his heart.

At this moment, he instantly understood why the other party hired two lawyers.
