Chapter 2663 admit
Ai Meili's lawsuit shocked the world.
Originally, according to the law, Ai Meili's lawsuit did not have to be fought. After all, she was paid 25 US dollars that year, so from the perspective of contract law, this image right had nothing to do with her. But once her lawsuit was filed, the media
Once exposed, it will be a big deal.
Originally, most people were not familiar with or understood the Statue of Liberty in the title sequence of Sony Columbia Pictures. But now everyone understands that Amelie has been oppressed, living in poverty, and helpless for the past 66 years.
The love of the American people overflowed, and everyone fought against it. After all, the title of the film was so sensational, and as a result, instead of receiving reasonable compensation, the actor ended up in poverty for the rest of his life. This is obviously unacceptable.
The law is on the side of Sony Colombia, but the public opinion is on the side of Aimee. This also makes this lawsuit full of suspense. After all, the 13 jurors are all human beings. From a human perspective, they are absolutely
On Ai Meili's side, this is where Ibuka Dezuki becomes depressed.
In desperation, Ibuka found Lin Feng.
"Mr. Lin, I think there may be some misunderstanding between us, and no matter what misunderstanding there is, we can talk about it," Ibuka said sincerely.
This incident was caused by Lin Feng. It is possible that the jury finally awarded Ai Meili the victory out of sympathy, and Ibuka had to use some off-the-table tricks.
"Well, there is no misunderstanding between us, so there is nothing to talk about between us. I have decided on the matter of Ai Meili. If you want to talk, let's talk in court. Of course, I am
It’s not that we don’t give people the opportunity, we will give you the right to use the portrait of US$100 million a year, and we will give you a discount of US$5 billion in 1966.” Lin Feng said.
5 billion U.S. dollars! Ibuka almost threw the water in front of Lin Feng's face. You are too good at talking, 5 billion U.S. dollars, why don't you go and grab it.
"This is indeed better than robbing. At least robbing, but you can't robbing US$5 billion!" Lin Feng said with a smile.
"Mr. Lin, don't think that you will win." Ibuka walked away.
"No!" Lin Feng laughed.
"Boss, this lawsuit is not easy to fight. Why not settle it out of court?" Lin Chiling asked in a low voice.
"Haha, Zhiling, there is no possibility of reconciliation between Sony Colombia and I. So there is no need to reconcile. What's more, what we want to ask for in this matter is not money. It's justice. To me, it's just a few billion dollars.
, it’s not important. What’s important is this fairness and this popularity!” Lin Feng said.
For Lin Feng, billions of dollars are really of little use. On the contrary, this kind of justice and this kind of popularity are what Lin Feng values.
Three days later, the trial that shocked the entire film industry began. As expected, Amelie did not have any advantage in terms of evidence. The contract back then had bought out her image rights. Although
It was only 25 US dollars, and the income and expenditure were completely disproportionate. But it was indeed in compliance with contract law and protected by law. In just one court hearing, the judge ruled that Sony Colombia won.
But Ibuka was not happy about this at all. Because the judge reminded Ai Meili in court that although he could not sue Sony Colombia for infringing the right to use his portrait, he could sue Sony Colombia for persecuting him and ask for 66 years of living material compensation from Sony Colombia.
and mental compensation. In court, Ron announced that he would seek compensation from Sony Columbia for US$660,000 in compensation for living expenses and US$7 billion in mental losses on behalf of Emily. The judge accepted the case in court and announced that the trial would begin a week later.
Ron's claim, and the judge's acceptance, made Ibuka almost roar in court on the spot. This was really a bit too bullying. Whether it was Lin Feng, Ron Law Firm, or this judge, they were all a bit
It's too bullying. This is completely trying to kill Sony Columbia. If Sony Columbia really loses the lawsuit, the amount of compensation will be enough to bankrupt Sony Columbia. 7 billion US dollars, this is simply killing people. Not many companies
The compensation can be 7 billion US dollars.
If Sony Columbia really pays US$7 billion in compensation, Sony Columbia will have to go bankrupt unless the parent company comes with the money. However, the parent company's current business situation is not very good, and I'm afraid it won't be able to spend US$7 billion to fill this hole. Especially
This hole is still a product of the Columbia era. It makes no sense for Sony to spend this money to fill this hole.
Once he loses, as the actual decision-maker of Sony Columbia, he is bound to bear corresponding responsibilities. And this responsibility is nothing more than voluntarily resigning and taking all the blame on himself. This is a consistent practice of Japanese companies. Sacrificing the ego
, perfect the greater self.
For now, everyone sympathizes with Ai Meili's experience, and the judge took the initiative to let Ai Meili apply for personal persecution and compensation for mental losses. This obviously means that the judge is also on Ai Meili's side. As for the people, then
Needless to say, according to the current public opinion polls of major media on the market, almost all are on the side of Ai Meili. Once the trial begins, Ibuka can predict that the jury will unanimously rule that Ai Meili wins.
No, it absolutely cannot be like this. Ibuka Ibuka absolutely cannot accept this fact. It is impossible for him to accept the result of losing the lawsuit. Win, you must win.
Persecution, since Ai Meili wants to accuse herself of being persecuted by the Columbia Company, there must be evidence, at least witnesses and physical evidence. And all of this has been 66 years ago, and those people back then are almost dead.
As for their descendants, because Amelie is a forgotten figure, no one will mention Amelie to future generations. And the only witness currently is the only remaining veteran of Sony Columbia - Harry Ke
En’s son, Joseph Cohen. However, Joseph Cohen had already retired and returned to his hometown after Sony acquired Columbia. Now he holds the title of honorary chairman in the company. In fact, no one knows where he went.
.And he is similar in age to Ai Meili this year, and should be close to 90.
He should know what happened back then, but his father sanctioned Amelie, and Ibuka believed that Joseph Cohen would not do anything to embarrass his father. Indeed, Joseph Cohen would not embarrass his father.
But when Lin Feng found Joseph Cohen, everything was completely different.
Therefore, Ibuka must find Joseph Cohen first. Fortunately, he has wider connections in the United States than Lin Feng. He believes that he will find Joseph Cohen first.
Lin Feng, do you think you will succeed? No, your conspiracy will never succeed! Ibuka sneered. He already had news about Joseph Cohen. He was enjoying the sun and beach in Miami. He used to sell Colombia
Save money and enjoy the last moments of life to the fullest.
However, what Ibuka Dezhi never expected was that when he rushed to Miami, Lin Feng was also there, and his target was the same as him, Joseph Cohen.
"Lin Feng, why are you here!" Izuka Ibuka growled.
"Haha, I am indeed not very familiar with America, but I have a brother named Ellison who is very familiar with America!" Lin Feng smiled slightly.
Baga! Dezhi Ibuka cursed secretly in his heart, and then took the lead, entered Joseph Cohen's room, and found Joseph Cohen who was sunbathing on the balcony in the back garden.
"Joseph, I think you already know what happened. I think you won't do anything to bring shame to your father," Ibuka said.
Joseph Cohen is 89 years old this year. He is very old. When he saw the well coming in, he did not get up, but looked at the sun.
"The weather here is really good. It's very suitable for an old man like me to spend his last days here." Joseph said slowly.
Ibuka frowned slightly. He had already guessed what this old guy was going to say next.
"How much do you want?" Ibuka asked through gritted teeth.
"Not much, 300 million U.S. dollars. I am 89 years old this year. The doctor said that there will be no problem with my body for another three to five years. In order to make the last three to five years of my life more enjoyable, I need 300 million U.S. dollars. Here.
For $300 million, I will keep Amelie’s secret forever. Otherwise, I will tell it.” Joseph said with a smile.
Blackmail! This is naked blackmail! - Ibuka gritted his teeth.
"Haha, well, if you think it's too expensive, then Mr. Joseph, let's make a deal. If you tell me about it, I'll give you 300 million US dollars!" Lin Feng walked in with a smile.
Joseph turned his head and looked at Lin Feng, his eyes brightening slightly.
"I know you, you are Lin Feng, the richest man in the world. Now that you are here, I think my old age will be guaranteed!" Joseph laughed.
Izuka Ibuka's face was filled with gloom, but Lin Feng had a smile on his face.
"Yes, I'm here. You will indeed be happy in your later years! How about making an offer! Let you live a better life in your later years." Lin Feng said with a shrug.
"Lin Feng, are you willing to be blackmailed by this old bastard! 300 million U.S. dollars, that's 300 million U.S. dollars!" Ibuka growled. This amount of money is too much, and it is impossible for Sony Columbia to come up with it, but if he
To settle this matter, he had to pay out of his own pocket. Although he could take out the money, but if he gave it to Joseph, an old bastard, he himself would be poor. It makes no sense, the company would be rich and the individual would be poor.
"Haha, I'm not willing to accept it, but what I'm even more unwilling to do is that someone is wronged in vain. I don't want Ms. Ai Meili to go to God with her grievances. For us in China, you can't go to heaven after death, you have to go to hell.
." Lin Feng said with a smile.
"Asshole!" Ibuka scolded.
"Accept!" Lin Feng handed over his hand. (To be continued)
