Ye Xing and Qiu Qian 'qian walked into the Beijing High Court.
Truthfully speaking, Ye Xing was more or less a little apprehensive in his heart.
This was his first time in the Supreme Court.
As soon as he entered the hall, he felt the difference in level.
The size of a marble tile on the floor was about enough for a small room in Beixiao.
The two of them could not even hold the stone pillar in front of them.
It was like a museum.
Ye Xing looked left and right with an eye-opening look.
On the other hand, Qiu Qian 'qian remained calm and even greeted the receptionist.
"This is your first time in the Supreme Court, why are you so calm?" Ye Xing asked with a puzzled expression.”
According to Ye Xing's plan, Qiu Qian 'qian would only be able to enter the Beijing Supreme Court as a small assistant thanks to her status as a lawyer.
She should be shivering and jumping into his arms.
Why did it look like he was going home?
"Who told you this is my first time in the Supreme Court?" Qiu Qian 'qian pouted.”
"I have to come here every summer vacation for an internship, okay?”
Ye Xing silently shut his mouth.
You're a genius, you're awesome.
The two of them followed the instructions and went all the way to the Second Civil Court.
After showing his ID, he walked into the defendant's lounge.
In the lounge, Xue Yun `er had already arrived. She was biting her nails with her head lowered, looking very nervous.
"Miss Xue, why are you here so early?"
Ye Xing threw his briefcase aside and sat down on the sofa.
"I didn't sleep well," Xue Yun 'er nodded."I came early."”
Ye Xing wanted to say something.
A loud noise came from the room next door, as if a market was being opened.
"Why is it so noisy next door?" Ye Xing frowned.”
"Next door is the plaintiff's lounge. The people from Penguin's legal department are here." Xue Yun 'er said helplessly.”
"There are more than fifty people in a room. How can it not be noisy?”
Ye Xing was shocked." F * ck, is there something wrong with Penguin's brain?"”
"What's the use of bringing fifty people over? In the end, won't only a few people be able to enter?”
Xue Yun `er sighed.
"I went to the bathroom just now and heard what their director said…"
" This is a day for Penguin's legal department to hold their heads high. It is a day that will be remembered in Penguin's history. Everyone must come and witness it.”
"Just now, someone was carrying boxes of champagne into their room. I took a look and saw that the champagne tower was already set up.”
Ye Xing couldn't help but laugh,"Are they sure they have us?"”
Xue Yun `er propped her chin with her hand and said in a desolate tone,""I thought about it. It seems that it's really difficult for us to win this lawsuit.”
"In the past few years, the voices on the Internet have tended to oppose Penguin.”
"However, in this matter, the netizens unanimously believe that King of Pesticide was indeed plagiarized.”
Ye Xing opened the bottle of free mineral water on the table and said calmly,""Public opinion has a limited impact on this lawsuit.”
"After all, it's just a civil lawsuit, not a criminal case that causes public outrage.”
"We only need to do one thing.”
"Persuade the judge."
Xue Yun 'er nodded in a daze.
He suddenly felt that Lawyer Ye seemed very reliable.
Not long after.
The bailiff came over to inform him that the court session was about to start.
The three of them walked into the court.
Ye Xing took a deep breath as he looked at the grand and solemn layout of the court and the three judges on the main stage.
The last time he came to court, he was a fierce and aggressive plaintiff's lawyer.
This time, he became a passive defense lawyer.
Life was just so wonderful.
Ye Xing leaned back in his chair and thought silently.
Passive defense?
It's not my style of defense.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Who said that the defendant could not take the initiative to attack?
Jiang Xiaolong, who was sitting on the plaintiff's seat opposite him, almost died of joy when he saw that Ye Xing could still laugh.
The child was probably scared silly.
That was true.
In the legal world, our Nanshan Pizzeria Hut is an existence that can stop children from crying at night!
I'll give you a good lesson today!
After everyone was seated, the clerk announced the order of the court.
The presiding judge coughed lightly.
"Beijing High Court."
"Public hearing on the copyright and unfair competition dispute between Shencheng Penguin Computer System Co., Ltd. and Beijing Shuitong Network Co., Ltd.”
"Court is now in session!"
The gavel struck heavily.
The presiding judge continued,"We will now enter the court investigation stage.”
"First, the plaintiffs will state their claims.”
Jiang Xiaolong stood up calmly.
"The plaintiffs 'claims are as follows."
"The defendant, Shui Tong Network, has to compensate us for a total of 6.15 billion yuan in economic losses.”
"Stop the operation and development of the game 'Eternal Duel' under your name, including overseas regions, and give up the copyright.”
"Make a public apology to Penguin.”
The presiding judge nodded slightly and looked at the defendant's seat.
"Is the defendant's claim unchanged?”
"Agree to the compensation, but request to dismiss the other claims of the plaintiff?”
Agree to the compensation was the litigation strategy set by the former lawyer of Water Eye Network, who was also the senior partner of King Wood who was involved in the NTSD.
This case was too difficult. It was almost impossible to win.
The only way was to make concessions on compensation in exchange for more space.
For the Water Eye Network, 6.1 billion was just a blow to their bones, not fatal.
However…
If he couldn't operate the Eternal Duel, he would die!
This was a very clever litigation strategy.
In the presiding judge's mind, the defendant would not change his request.
Ye Xing suddenly raised his hand.
"Presiding Judge, our lawsuit needs to be changed.”
"Which part has changed?"
"All of them."
The presiding judge frowned slightly.”
Ye Xing stood up.
"We apply to dismiss all of the plaintiffs 'claims.”
"Furthermore…"
Ye Xing smiled slightly,"We apply for a countercharge."”
The moment he said that, the entire place was in an uproar!
Countercharge!
According to the rules of a civil lawsuit, the defendant could file a counterclaim against the plaintiff during the process of the lawsuit!
However…
In most civil cases, the defendant is always in the wrong.
It would be great if he could win the lawsuit.
How could he countersue?
In this plagiarism case, Shui Tong Network was undoubtedly in the wrong.
Moreover, it was a huge loss!
Whether it was the judge of the first trial or the netizens of the entire internet, they all pinned Shui Tong Network on the pillar of shame for plagiarism.
The Water Eye Network was also very self-aware.
They immediately agreed to Penguin's sky-high compensation.
All for the sake of a chance to survive.
However, no one could have expected that.
After Ye Xing took over the case, he not only requested to dismiss all the plaintiffs 'claims.
They even wanted to countersue!
It was as if Wu Dalang had taken medicine and was jumping around to find Xi Men Qing for a solo fight!
He must have taken the wrong medicine!
Fortunately, the presiding judge had been in the Supreme Court for so many years and had seen all kinds of storms. He was only slightly surprised.
"What is the defendant's counterclaim?”
Ye Xing said slowly.
" Penguin Corporation has targeted the Water Eye Network by spreading a large number of false and misleading articles, insulting and slandering the reputation of the Water Eye Network.”
"Without any evidence, you claim that Shui Tong has plagiarized!”
"Furthermore, they are suing the Water Eye Network for copyright violation!”
"Therefore, we request Penguin Corporation to compensate 20 million yuan for the loss of reputation.”
"And publicly apologize!"
