What's wrong with this lawyer?!

In that case, the court is bound to be influenced by public opinion to some extent, which might lead to a favorable judgment.

This kind of situation has happened quite a few times before.

Twelve billion, huh, that's an astronomical figure never seen before in infringement cases involving trade secrets.

It's not that I doubt Tang Fangjing; Old Tang's character is still pretty solid.

The main suspicion is directed towards the people at Tengfei Company.

General Manager Qiao took out his phone to make a call, thinking something was indeed off. Although Tang Fangjing could be somewhat peculiar, his peculiarities were mostly directed at people.

Yes, this is also a conclusion drawn by some major law firm lawyers in Modu and the capital city.

On the surface, this Lawyer Tang seems to use criminal means to achieve certain objectives, but if you look closely, you'll find that he simply wants to send people in.

"Tang Fangjing appears to have a kind of obsessive love for sending people in. Others say he's helped a lot of innocent people avoid criminal punishment, but the truth is, if you look at the numbers, the cases he's gotten acquitted don't even compare to a fraction of those he's sent in!"

This was what the director of a major firm in the capital city originally said.

Even Old Tang's audience online can't refute this, because the numbers he mentioned are real.

For acquittal cases, at most, you help one person at a time.

But once he starts sending people in, it's at least three to five to start with, often ten or eight.

Like when Old Tang cracked down on unscrupulous agencies in Dongfang City, Jiangguang Province, back in the day, he tackled an entire industry, one by one...

General Manager Qiao dialed the agent's phone, and beside him, Lu Weiyi said, "Put it on speaker."

The call connected quickly, and a female voice immediately sounded: "Hello, this is Tang Fangjing from Tengda Law Office. I am his assistant. What can I do for you?"

Of course, the call wasn't answered by Old Tang. During work, Old Tang's phone is generally managed by Wang Qingqing.

"Hello, I'm the deputy general manager of Dajin Group, my surname is Qiao. Lawyer Tang, as an agent, has sued our company, and I have some questions for him now."

Over the phone, after listening, Wang Qingqing said, "Dajin Group, right? Okay, please hold on."

She was naturally well aware of Old Tang's current business matters and quickly arrived at the office with the phone.

"Brother Tang, Dajin is calling you, saying they have something to ask."

Old Tang was browsing the background cases, and upon hearing this, immediately took the phone and said, "Hello, General Manager Qiao? This is Tang Fangjing."

"Lawyer Tang, is that right? Hello, it's just that I've received a copy of the indictment, but I have a question. Lawyer Tang, isn't your client's claim somewhat excessive?"

"Twelve billion in compensation, and also demanding we dismantle production facilities..."

However, General Manager Qiao was interrupted before he could finish.

Old Tang replied casually, "Oh, you're talking about those two claims, let me explain them to you."

General Manager Qiao, who was initially displeased about being interrupted, exchanged a glance with Lu Weiyi, then said, "Lawyer Tang, please go ahead."

"What I mean is, please don't misunderstand my client."

Huh? General Manager Qiao and Lu Weiyi were a bit confused—what does he mean by don't misunderstand?

Old Tang continued, "A total of 12,653.2 million in compensation, plus the necessary expenses for rights protection, 9.2 million, that's what I proposed."

"The amount was calculated by me and has nothing to do with my client."

The main part of the rights protection cost is naturally the legal fees. Old Tang's highest standard is certainly more than this, as the charging method is semi-risk-based representation.

You pay a portion of the fee upfront, and if the case is won, you pay a percentage of the winning verdict amount.

If the case is lost, then it's this fee.

It's expensive, but similarly, the cost has its justification.

Our country also has those exorbitant lawyer fees.

In 2018, a law firm in the capital city, acting as a manager for a bankruptcy and reorganization case, reported a fee of 86.8 million.

Of course, at that time, it was mainly due to two partners and a team of three other professional lawyers completing the task in 126 days.

It successfully allowed a company, originally over 40 billion in debt, to reorganize successfully. The case was selected by the Supreme Court as one of the top ten bankruptcy cases of the year.

Expensive? Certainly, but compared to what they accomplished, the money doesn't seem that expensive.

Additionally, there's an IPO project for a company, with a lawyer fee of 37.5 million, also completed by a team of five lawyers.

This is the money-making speed of top lawyers, truly beyond many people's imagination.

So for a lawyer of Old Tang's caliber, if he wants to make money, it's really not a problem.

With all his credentials, he's a top-level legal team by himself, and the speed at which he makes money is astonishing.

Criminal defense, which is often referred to as "the crown jewel of the law," closely related to people's lives, but in reality, the money-making speed can't compare to those who deal with commercial matters.

Back to the point.

General Manager Qiao was stunned upon hearing this: "Lawyer Tang, are you saying that the twelve billion compensation claim is something you proposed?"

"Yes, I've made it very clear, right? Additionally, there's one more thing—the dismantling of your confidential production facilities, that's also my idea."

General Manager Qiao: "So, Lawyer Tang, are you trying to explain that these claims have nothing to do with your client, and it's all your ideas?"
