What's wrong with this lawyer?!

This may look like compensation, but in reality, it's not much different from attracting traffic.

Why do I say that? Because many game companies that claim to transfer assets provide their compensation on a monthly basis... In other words, once you agree to this condition and make the transfer, you definitely won't be able to quit the game at least until all these bound diamonds or virtual currency are given out.

At this moment, Zhou Xianying was communicating with a player from another game, taking the opportunity to perform a risk assessment for the next game's server shutdown, which was always done this way, without ever encountering any problems.

Time slowly passed in this atmosphere, and the mobile game "Fly" had already been forgotten by many.

Meanwhile, in Jingzhou, Old Tang once again found himself with some free time.@@novelbin@@

He planned to visit The Capital in a while, to talk to the consumer rights organization and to see if this case could be brought to court as a public interest litigation in their name.

Although online accusations of Tang Fangjing's "unfair competition" had dwindled, there were still people tirelessly filing complaints.

It is foreseeable that after initiating a large-scale lawsuit, the Meitian company will definitely react forcefully and will certainly use this as an avenue to target him.

Therefore, the current plan is to wait until Ju Haiqing's case takes effect, then file for public interest litigation, and once the public interest litigation takes effect, there won't be a need for those other cases to be filed.

At that time, everyone can directly hire a lawyer to help register with the court, and after the court reviews it, it can take effect immediately.

The fee for this registration assistance is negotiable, according to the "Notice on Relaxing the Prices of Certain Services" issued by the Development and Reform Commission, item four; many aspects of lawyer fees have been deregulated and are subject to market-adjusted pricing.

As long as the situation is not a severe case of undercharging, it does not count as a violation.

That will make things easier later on, and because of this, Old Tang decided to file the lawsuit through The Capital's internet court, to save trouble.

The jurisdiction is also easy to deal with, as Old Tang's side has already discovered the connection between Meitian company and the company mentioned in the agreement, he is very confident in filing the case with the internet court.

Days went by, and before you know it, March had arrived.

In this time, Old Tang stayed at the law firm, offering legal advice to people, and if there was a suitable and lucrative case, he would take it on.

Even though his reputation alone could make the law firm flourish, the money that needs to be made, must be made, otherwise Old Wang would surely keep a long face.

On March 5th, Ju Haiqing was constantly watching his phone; in fact, he was feeling very strange, as he was no longer upset about the whole situation.

Time is the biggest enemy, and that's why many large companies delay processes – because the longer it takes, the less inclined you are to keep fighting for your rights.

Still, Ju Haiqing wanted to see the outcome after all these years; no one had ever stood up against the game companies' various unfair agreements!

There had been cases in the past, but those were all isolated incidents...

This time, however, Director Tang had said he would really do something about it!

At noon, the mobile game "Fly" was no longer accessible; the game had officially shut down its servers.

Ju Haiqing immediately called Old Tang, "Hello, Director Tang, the game has shut down now. Do you think it's time for us to start?"

Old Tang laughed on the other side, "Indeed, we can start now."

However, he had no intention of starting right away; he still wanted to wait, because he didn't know how long the game company would retain their data after the shutdown of the game, so he preferred to delay it as much as possible.

Three days later, at Tengda Law Firm, Old Tang began submitting the relevant documents to The Capital's internet court from his computer.

The advantage of an internet court is that there's no need to run around, unless offline presence is an absolute must – in principle, all procedures should be completed online.

Wang Qingqing was watching from the side, but soon she expressed her perplexity, "Brother Tang, I remember that when you were talking to that Ju Haiqing last time, you said that even if we win this case, we could at most get twenty to thirty percent of the previously topped-up amount."

"Why do I see in your claim that you're asking the game company to compensate for all the money that was charged?"

Wang Qingqing was quite confused.

Ju Haiqing had topped up a total of more than thirteen hundred yuan, with the first demand being the violation of virtual property rights, asking for the return of the whole amount.

Furthermore, some in-game items and character equipment weren't bought with money, but they still embodied labor achievements, so these should also be considered virtual property, valued at five hundred yuan after calculation.

So Old Tang's lawsuit demanded compensation of over eighteen hundred yuan...

Hearing this, Old Tang very skillfully said, "Qingqing, let me teach you a trick. If you encounter a case where you don't want to mediate, then state the claims a bit more extravagantly, so if they don't agree to them, insisting on litigation, you have an excuse."

"Then, if you want the court to support a twenty percent compensation, you should ask for everything when you file the suit. The broken windows theory never gets old, understand?"

These lawyer tricks, in a previous life, were used to make money.

Naturally, no money is refunded in mediation, but that also means losing the opportunity for a second trial. Some unscrupulous lawyers use this method to avoid mediation, manipulate a bit during trial, and naturally, the first trial results in a loss.

Then they encourage the client to appeal, and in the second trial, perform normally.

If the original verdict is upheld, they claim to have done their best and suggest the other party has connections; if the verdict is reversed, they claim it's due to their efforts. In any case, the money from the second trial is earned...

The clients don't know any better, and they think the lawyer is really amazing.
