In the office where a team meeting is being held.
The vice president suddenly opened the door and walked in, interrupting the meeting.
After the core members of the legal department subconsciously turned their heads and saw the vice president walking in.
Suddenly.
Everyone was stunned by the vice president's expression. "Boss Zhou, what are you doing?"
The head of the legal department has made countless contributions to Tencent, although his position is not as high as that of the vice president.
But in Tencent, the head of the legal department doesn't have to consider anyone's opinion at all.
Sometimes even the head of Tencent, Ma Huatian, and the head of the legal department don't even take a bird.
Therefore, the vice president's arrival did not make the head of the legal department feel the least bit nervous or panicked.
He just raised his eyebrows and showed some confusion.
"Since the core team of the Ministry of Justice is here, that's perfect!" He took a deep breath.
No matter what, he dared not treat Huang Wei the same way. The vice president of the legal department strode to the desk of the head of the legal department and slammed the subpoena in his hand on the desk.
"Boss Zhou, what is this?" A core member of the legal department frowned. "It's a court summons!" said the vice president.
"What the hell? A court summons? Who sued us?"
The head of the legal department, Rinsei, who was not in a hurry to read the contents of the subpoena
I didn't even think about the lawsuit filed by Qianlong Games. After all, given the relationship between Tencent and the court, even if Qianlong Games had submitted the lawsuit materials, the case would not be filed so quickly.
To put it another way, even if a case was filed on the spot, they would not rush to issue a subpoena so quickly.
Moreover, the litigation materials submitted by Huangting Law Firm on behalf of Qianlong Games would never be filed on the spot.
"Lao Kang, you should take a look yourself!" said the vice president. The next second.
The head of the legal department, known as Lao Kang, frowned and picked up the subpoena on the desk.
Look down.
After reading the contents of the subpoena, his face changed immediately!
"Is this a plagiarism lawsuit against Qianlong Game Company? How is it possible!!!'
The head of the legal department exclaimed, "What!"
Several members of the core team of the Ministry of Justice suddenly jumped up from their chairs.
"Yes, it's the plagiarism lawsuit against Qianlong Games. How long has it been since they issued the lawsuit? Now the court subpoena has been sent to our Tencent headquarters. What is going on? Given the relationship of your legal department in the court, let alone the issuance of a subpoena, even if a formal case has been filed, someone should have informed you. Why did this subpoena come so suddenly? Or is this subpoena forged?" the vice president asked in a deep voice.
However, he knew in his heart that the possibility of the information being fabricated was almost zero!
After all, the Royal Court Law Firm and Qianlong Games would never do such a thing!
But the vice president could only think in this direction.
Because if the subpoena was not forged, if the Ministry of Justice had not been informed by the court in advance, and if the court was so quick in handling the case.
That means the problem is big, and not just ordinary big!
Following the vice president's words.
The head of the legal department said solemnly with a gloomy face, "The subpoena is fine. Although the Royal Court Law Firm is a small, second-rate law firm, anyone with even a little common sense would not be able to forge a subpoena!"
"Then what is going on? Why did the court file the case so quickly? Why didn't they inform us at all? Why did the subpoena come so quickly and suddenly? Could it be that the Royal Court Law Firm has the power to put pressure on the court?" the vice president said impatiently.
"Mr. Zhou, please wait a moment. I will go ask the people at the court!"
Throw down this sentence.
The head of the legal department quickly picked up the phone.
I called the first number and the other party was on the phone.
I called the second number, but the other party was temporarily unreachable. I called the third number, but the other party's phone was turned off.
The fourth number was called, but the other party was out of service area.
Four numbers passed.
The office was already plunged into an extremely eerie and dead silence.
Including the head of the legal department.
Everyone's face was filled with an unprecedented sense of uneasiness.
Four phones, four people, none of them could be contacted - this was enough to show that the situation was extremely abnormal.
It wasn't until the fifth call was made that the call was connected.
The head of the legal department also directly turned on the hands-free mode.
"Old Liu, what's going on with the case with Qianlong Game Company? Why was the subpoena from your court sent to our Tencent headquarters so quickly? Also, the phone calls of Old Ji, Old Hou, Old Gao, and Old Sun are all unreachable. Is this a coincidence?" The head of the legal department went straight to the point.
"The Nanshan Court employee surnamed Liu on the other end of the phone hesitated.
Little did they know that this was the attitude.
The hearts of the core members of the Ministry of Justice immediately sank.
"Old Liu, we have known each other for many years, and we have always had frequent contacts, so I hope you can tell me more!" the head of the legal department said in a deep voice.
"You called just in time. In a few minutes, you probably wouldn't be able to get through to my number!" Old Liu on the other end of the phone sighed helplessly.
"What?" asked the head of the legal department.
"No one dares to wade into this muddy water. Old Ji and the others don't want to answer your call, and they dare not, just because they know you!" said Old Liu.
"Can you give more details?" The head of the legal department twitched his eyes hurriedly.
"Forget it. At this point, I think you can more or less realize that something is wrong.
Normally,
The litigation materials submitted by the Royal Court Law Firm would not be filed so quickly. Even if the case was filed, a subpoena would not be issued so quickly, and you would be informed in advance! But this time, the situation is different!" said Lao Liu.
"Please be clear!" said the head of the legal department.
"Someone from above has intervened in this case. Not to mention us in Nanshan, even the provincial court can't handle it. So we must not only not neglect this case, but also conclude the arbitration as quickly as possible. Otherwise, the sword of Damocles hanging over our heads will keep spinning, which will make all of us nervous and anxious all day long!" said Lao Liu.
"What!!! This, this-" he blamed.
What does the above refer to?
"I don't know either, and I'm afraid even the dean doesn't know!" said Old Liu.
"Did you find the connection through the Royal Court Law Firm?" the head of the Legal Department asked again in surprise.
"I don't know, but I think this possibility is not high! If the Royal Court Law Firm has such ability, it would not be so unknown. The only thing we know is that if we dare to wade into this muddy water, we must be prepared to pay the price! Although we don't know what the price will be, we can be sure that none of us can afford it!"
Lao Liu swallowed his throat and said, "Lao Kang, it is because of our friendship that I took the risk to answer your call and tell you all this. For the sake of our friendship, I will say one more thing. Now that things have come to this, you guys at Tencent should think about it carefully. I believe you have seen the rumor.
You have only seven days to file a lawsuit. The court will open in seven days. But before the court opens, you may have some room to negotiate privately. Once the court opens, the chances of Tencent winning the lawsuit will be zero! You should think carefully..'
