Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 241 People's Property

"What conditions did the other party propose?" Gui Sanlang sat behind the desk, the fat on his face twitched slightly, and he leaned forward, asking impatiently.

In the office, Watanabe, the legal director, read the settlement agreement faxed by the other party very carefully, and his eyes slowly scanned each line of text above, for fear of missing any important information.The settlement agreement is only one A4 paper, estimated to be no more than 10 words in length, but Watanabe read it for nearly [-] minutes before opening his mouth and saying:

"Dong...Chairman, the other party proposed a settlement amount of 150 billion yen."

1...150 billion yen.Hearing this number, the two eyebrows on Guisaburo's face were deeply knit together. From this number alone, the chairman felt that the other party had made great preparations. 150 billion yen is undoubtedly a huge amount of money for the current Akagi Hotel Group, but the scale of this amount is just right.Although it has put a lot of pressure on the hotel's finances, it will not really hurt the flesh and blood inside.

But if this number is higher, such as 200 billion yuan, it will already have a squeezing effect on the hotel's cash flow.

Thinking of this, Guisaburo felt that he was completely controlled by the other party, and the self-esteem in his heart could not help but make his chest burn with anger. The chairman said again:

"Now the hotel's deposit refund issue, how is it resolved?"

Watanabe raised his head to report: "At present, another account has been temporarily connected to handle deposits for hotel branches in various districts of Tokyo. The sudden change has made our cash on hand even tighter. Now we mainly rely on customs clearance. The operating cash generated by the Westside branch is supporting."

On the table, the dim yellow table lamp illuminated Guisaburo's face, forming an interlaced area of ​​light and dark. For a while, others could not clearly see the expression of the hotel owner, but could only see the faint outline of his face, which made it hard to figure out who the hotel owner was. Chairman's inner thoughts.

"What's your attitude towards this settlement agreement?" Gui Saburo leaned on the back of the office chair and said in a deep voice.

Machiko sat on the sofa, glanced sideways at Gu Meimen, and after receiving instructions from the lawyer with a 100% winning rate, she flipped through the small notebook in her hand and said:
"Chairman, our suggestion is to accept the settlement. In this case, the other party's claim for exclusion of nuisance may have caused us to suffer losses of more than 800 billion yen, including the loss of a building costing 720 yen, and the corresponding removal costs."

"Now, the other party also felt the tremendous pressure we exerted during the trial, so they proposed a settlement on their own initiative. Although the settlement amount is 150 billion yen, it is possible to suffer losses of more than 800 billion yen in comparison, and the amount has been reduced. Now the other party has also proposed to calculate the land infringement area of ​​the hotel according to the projection method. Since our hotel building has indeed crossed the land boundary in mid-air, this method may also be adopted by the court.”

"According to the projection method, our compensation amount may be more than 400 billion yen. The settlement amount is about 60% lower than the compensation amount. Therefore, based on the above, this settlement agreement can be accepted."

Gu Meimen held the teacup in her hand, crossed her legs, and sipped the tea in the cup.Machiko has already expressed his point of view.If it was normal, Gu Meimen would definitely not choose to accept the settlement, but would continue to fight.But now, after two days of trial and confrontation, to some extent, he has already felt the high degree of uncertainty brought about by the Beiyuan lawyer.

Right now, even Gu Meimen can no longer see clearly the next direction of this lawsuit.

Choosing to accept the settlement is the best option.

Ikegami and Imanishi, who were also in the office, already admired Gu Meimen very much for being able to break a losing lawsuit into this situation.Right now, the other party would rather take the risk of being identified as a malicious security deposit than freeze the bank account of the hotel. This also shows that the plaintiff has been forced to a point of no return by the barrister in front of him, and can only initiate a final struggle.

However, while admiring Gu Meimen, the two lawyers couldn't help but think, how long would they last if they faced Gu Meimen's fierce counterattack?

Kamezaburo listened to Machiko's report without showing any expression. He stared at the carpet directly in front of the table and didn't speak for a long time. Then he raised his head and looked at Watanabe, "What do you think?"

Watanabe looked down at the settlement agreement in his hand, "I also agree with lawyer Gu Meimen. Although the other party initiates a lawsuit for preservation, we can also submit a guarantee to the court to lift the preservation. However, this ultimately means that we always A large part of cash will be constrained. Right now, the company’s overseas mergers and acquisitions need certainty most. Although the amount of 150 billion yen has had a great impact on the company, with the hotel’s stable cash flow, overseas mergers and acquisitions can still be carried out as scheduled.”

Guisaburo listened to the argument of the "surrender faction", and his inner unwillingness became more and more intense.The event that the hotel account was frozen made the chairman unwilling to accept the settlement.The impact of freezing the account on the reputation of the hotel is like someone blatantly wandering over, urinating at the door of the store, and then walking away.

He has been the proud son of heaven since he was a child, how could the domineering Guisaburo bear this tone.

"Yes... yes, Chairman." Watanabe's face suddenly became a little hesitant, as if hesitating to say the next thing: "The other party...the other party's settlement agreement, there is another request. Said ...Say yes, you apologize to the plaintiff in person. They...they say...the hotel instigates Aobadai Apartments' plan to seize the land, and they already...already know about it. If...if you don't apologize to them in person, it's They will not agree to a settlement agreement."

After Watanabe's voice fell, Gu Meimen frowned slightly, and the hand holding the teacup froze for a moment, as if she didn't expect that the other party had even traced this layer.

Gui Saburo was obviously taken aback, as if he heard something unbelievable.Do...apologize, apologizing to a bunch of handicapped people who have nothing to do on the court with a mallet? !After thinking of such a humiliating scene, and adding the fact that the hotel account was frozen, it seemed that a powder keg ignited in his heart and exploded.

The owner of the hotel suddenly stood up from behind the table, with blue veins on his neck, he picked up the lamp on the table and threw it on the ground, "How is it possible! How could I apologize to such a group of guys? !!!”

The wire was pulled out abruptly, and the entire crystal lamp base fell on the carpet, making a dull impact sound, and the lampshade also fell off and rolled under the bookcase next to it.

"Chairman, calm down." Watanabe hurriedly stood up and said.

Guisaburo was about to continue to get angry when the cell phone in his pocket vibrated suddenly, so he had to take out the phone, but saw that the caller ID on it was Kurosawa's phone number...

……

The hallway of the office.

Guisaburo held the phone in his left hand, and gently supported the receiving part of the speaker under the phone with his right hand, with a very respectful expression on his face.He never dared to neglect any phone calls related to that gentleman.

"Do you know how much trouble Mr. Representative has been caused by the freezing of foreign exchange?" Kurosawa's somewhat cold voice came from the phone.The gentle tone, but it seemed to have a piercing chill, piercing the eardrum of the listener like a silver needle.

"In the current economic situation, what foreign exchange means to Dongyang. I think you should know, Chairman. Every dollar currently held by Dongyang is a weapon to maintain the stability of our country's exchange rate."

Kurosawa's voice continued, "At present, foreign exchange is not just foreign currency, but the property of the people of the East. Your company's private property. Every foreign exchange is approved, and the big figures in the top management of Dongyang will closely monitor the flow of US dollars."

"Now, these memantine have been approved for your account and have been frozen. What will you do to the face of Mr. Congressman, who is constantly lobbying for the Chimu Hotel Group project!"

Guisaburo's forehead was already covered with sweat, the hand holding the phone was already trembling, his knees were a little limp, and he was leaning against the wall of the corridor, unable to stand up independently.The appearance of being furious in the room just now has completely disappeared.This is the sad thing about people.The anger of the domineering people will always only dare to vent their anger on the weaker. When they encounter more powerful people, they dare not even take a breath.

"In short, I hope you will resolve this matter as soon as possible. Don't disappoint Mr. Senator's ardent hope for your Akagi Hotel." Kurosawa's voice came.

Then the phone hung up, leaving only the sound of "beep, beep, beep".

The call lasted less than 5 minutes, but it seemed to have gone through a long torture. Every word of the secretary was like a high-voltage electric current designed to torture criminals, causing great pain to every inch of nerves and flesh and blood in the body.Gui Sanlang let out a sudden breath, and sat down in the corridor directly, his face was already pale, he couldn't imagine, and he didn't dare to imagine the end of offending that gentleman.At this moment, only the words of the congress secretary echoed in his ears——

solve quickly……
