Chapter 311: When the forest is big enough, you'll find all sorts of birds!
"First, let me state that I am just a neutral bystander. I have no personal opinion regarding this Up Master A Yi. Being serious is a good thing, but I feel, is it really necessary to carry out such a large-scale lawsuit for legal aid?"
"Let us carefully analyze the issues here. It is nothing more than paid Advanced On-Demand after becoming a member. Is three yuan a lot? For a well-produced TV series, it doesn't count as much, right?"
"So just because of this, we have to call for a company to be beaten and killed, as if we want to wipe it out completely? I think there is really no need for this. Forgive others when you can. With the current situation, the company must have realized its own problems."
"Moreover, everyone, you feel good when you call for blood, but what if the company really goes bankrupt? Will you be the ones to pay those Employees their wages? I think one must consider things more thoroughly; one should leave a way out for others in life."
"Most importantly, many people actually had no intention of filing a Lawsuit at all, but because A Yi provided the money and the people, they all filed. Is this behavioral pattern correct? I think it is not."
"This is a serious destruction of social order, and I believe it is no less than an incident of Internet Violence..."
The article was written quite long. In any case, it started off as a neutral bystander, and then it wanted all the people who filed the Lawsuit, as well as A Yi, to consider the big picture and not just focus on their own happiness.
To put it in one sentence: consider the overall situation.
Furthermore, it hinted sneakily that you all have a sense of Picking Quarrels and Provoking Trouble, because this is a destruction of social order.
Then, Zhou Mouren, who had just finished a meeting at the Company, read it and chuckled, then turned around and forwarded it to Fang Dazhuang.
Really, for this type of article, he doesn't even need to say anything; as long as Fang Dazhuang sees it, his combat effectiveness will skyrocket by one thousand percent.
It can be said that once you are entangled by Fang Dazhuang, he guarantees he will use a bunch of his alt accounts to make you feel like you're in heaven.
Either you cancel your account and run away, or you won't be able to post with this account for a very long time.
Otherwise, once that man with very little hair discovers it, he will continue to bicker with you.
That won't just be me being able to do this for a whole day; that is me being able to do this for many years—true perseverance!
This kind of hiring writers to stir up sentiment is just a matter of convenience for Qiyi Company.
As for being afraid of Zhou Yi and therefore not taking his jobs... really, for many people, as long as they can make money, these are all small matters.
Let's just say, everyone knows that Tax Evasion is an illegal act. Once discovered, not only do you have to pay the back taxes, but the fines will make you want to vomit.
And clearly, a bunch of people were just fined, but turning around, there are still so many people committing Tax Evasion.
More importantly, all those who can be publicly named are those who, after being urged by the tax authorities, still refused to pay for various reasons.
You mean to tell me they didn't know this result? Were they not afraid?
For Qiyi Company, what is more important now is to contact those who filed the Lawsuit.
Sitting in the office, Jiang Xinyan of the Legal Department of Qiyi Company began to make phone calls. Aside from underhanded tactics, the Company really has no other good methods now.
Looking at the name on the screenshot of the Copy of the Complaint, Lin Mengyuan, it seems to be a young woman, so she should be very kind, right?
She drafted a mental outline and immediately dialed the number.
At home in Guang City, Yuan Jie had been looking forward to the court session for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that this Lawsuit was in the Internet Court, she would have even thought about whether she could go and attend.
Like Yuan Jie, she is quite afraid of trouble, but once there are many people, she is no longer afraid and feels her courage is very strong!
Just at this moment, she received a call from the Imperial Capital.
She answered the phone, and a female voice came through: "Hello, may I ask if this is Ms. Lin Mengyuan?"
"It is me, may I ask who you are..."
"Hello, Ms. Lin, I am the Lawyer for Qiyi Company. I noticed that you filed a Lawsuit against Qiyi Company for Breach of Contract and are demanding compensation. I am calling to explain things to you and chat with you."
The Lawyer for Qiyi Company... Yuan Jie was not surprised that the other party knew her contact information; after all, the Indictment and such all have these things.
She felt it was very novel now, so she said: "Then go ahead and explain."
In any case, the mobile phone call was being recorded.
Jiang Xinyan on the other end of the phone listened to Yuan Jie's words and couldn't help but want to look up at the sky, but she still focused her attention and said: "Ms. Lin, I saw that someone on the internet published the contract between you and that Mr. Zhou, which includes an agreement on the distribution ratio of the liquidated damages."
"For someone like you, you can only get about twenty percent, so we are now offering a plan: as long as you accept our Mediation, we can provide you with compensation at the level of thirty percent of the liquidated damages."
"In addition, we can also give you membership vouchers and Viewing Vouchers. Do you think you can accept this?"
This is Qiyi Company's plan. You, A Yi, took on everything and covered the costs for everyone's Lawsuit, which is certainly no problem.
But if you want to take about eighty percent of the liquidated damages, that is where they can make an issue of it.
Suppose the liquidated damages are one thousand yuan; then, operating this way, the Company only needs to take out three hundred yuan to get these people who filed the Lawsuit to accept Mediation.
Is three hundred yuan a lot? Compared to one thousand yuan, it is much less.
Qiyi Company is betting on human nature, betting that you internet trolls, upon seeing more money than before, will definitely agree to the Company's request.
As for the Lawyer Fee and Notarization Fee, Mediation is Mediation, and this money cannot be refunded anyway. Since it wasn't paid by you, just let that A Yi be the sucker, right?
Then, by extending the litigation period and dragging it out, they can let those who still don't agree see: you sought Legal Aid, great, but you can't get the money right now.
Those who accepted Mediation could get the money right away.
Stimulated by this, perhaps more people will agree to Mediation.
After all, as long as there is no judgment, Mediation is possible, which is also encouraged by our judiciary.
As for the contract between them... that is their business. The Company's Lawyer will deliberately avoid this issue during the Mediation process.
Membership vouchers and Viewing Vouchers are just extra compensation; these things are worth nothing to a platform company.
"Wow, that good? Giving me thirty percent?" Yuan Jie looked delighted.
"That's right, Ms. Lin, and I guarantee that as soon as the Mediation Agreement is signed, the money will arrive immediately!" Jiang Xinyan said very firmly.
"That's great, then I will... not agree."
Hmm... huh?
Jiang Xinyan was dumbfounded: "Ms. Lin, did I hear you wrong just now? You said, not agree?"
"That's right, not agree. Is there a problem?" Yuan Jie said casually.
"But, allow me to ask, why? The terms we offered are already very good. Why can't you agree?"
Yuan Jie chuckled and said: "No reason, I'm happy to!"
"This Lawyer sister, do you think we filed a Lawsuit against you for this little bit of money? Have you ever heard the saying, 'The world has suffered under the Qin for a long time'!"
"Not to mention you didn't even mention the contract at all. Do you think the contract was signed for nothing?"
"That's it, hanging up now."
Listening to the busy signal coming from the phone, Jiang Xinyan was completely speechless; was it just because of happiness?
But thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem to be the case.
To put it bluntly, everyone has long been disgusted by the sleazy operations of companies like yours, but for various reasons, it is difficult to find alternatives.
Copyrights have now been turned into barriers; this film is good, but it can only be found on this platform, and that movie can only be on that platform.
Often, one opens a monthly membership just to watch one movie, so you still think everyone maintains goodwill toward you?
Don't kid yourself; if it weren't for the fact that filing a Lawsuit is too troublesome, with these sleazy operations of yours, you would have been sued into oblivion long ago.
Now that someone is providing the money and the Lawyer, we just need to sign our names to vent our anger; it's truly worth doing even for free, just to see your Company crying and begging.
Jiang Xinyan dialed a number again; this person's account name was "Love Licking Black Silk".
Well, I don't know why, but after that father beat his son, the account name wasn't changed.
The reason is... he's getting on in years and doesn't know how to change it; anyway, it's very strange.
As a result, three minutes later, Jiang Xinyan hung up the phone, feeling a bit fired up.
The other party not only didn't agree, but instead started mocking, saying that Qiyi Company was too shameless; if they were wrong, they were wrong, but they couldn't even admit their mistake!
Are these people all so tough? Or has the Company's sleazy operation this time really offended too many people?
Of course, Jiang Xinyan didn't know that even people from the Court had joined in on this Lawsuit.
Stripping away their status as public servants, they are also ordinary citizens, and they have the same rights as ordinary citizens; if they feel you committed a Breach of Contract, they naturally have the right to initiate Litigation...
However, there are all kinds of birds in a big forest, and with Qiyi Company casting such a wide net, there were naturally some who took the bait.
"Mine is Big": Everyone come and see, Qiyi Company called and said they want Mediation, saying that as long as we agree, they can give 30% of the penalty for Breach of Contract, and it will be given immediately upon Mediation!
Nothing more to say, I signed it directly; it's enough to buy many meals!
This was posted on a short video platform, and as soon as it was posted, a bunch of comments appeared directly.
"Sing Dance Rap": +1, I also agreed; since they are giving money, there is nothing more to say.
I don't know if it was to show off or if it was agreed in the Mediation contract to do so, but in any case, those who signed the Mediation contract all posted it, mainly posting screenshots of the payments.
It can be seen that the efficiency of Qiyi Company this time is truly first-class; signing the contract and making the payment is a one-stop process.
Naturally, the videos of these people were roasted by many people as soon as they were posted.
"Purple Star Shining Moon": What are you thinking? You were bought off by a little petty favor? The money for your Lawsuit was given by A Yi, and the Lawyer Fee was also given by A Yi; now you are casting A Yi aside and mediating on your own?
"Simulation Invincible": Honestly, I really can't understand your thinking now; everyone united together, wasn't it to make these big companies get an education? Now that you are doing this, what is the difference between you and a traitor?
"Xiao Shufu": I'm speechless; you also have a contract with A Yi. You wouldn't have even read the contract, would you? And you're not ashamed but proud instead; what are you thinking!
It seems that these audience members of Zhou Yi simply cannot understand; words like "traitor" are naturally too heavy, but everyone still feels very angry!
Before, when it was pay-per-view, you jumped out and said the other party was doing wrong, hoping someone would deal with them.
As a result, now that someone is really dealing with them, you directly go and mediate with them.
Everyone worked together to prepare to do one thing, and now that it has just begun, how do you think others feel when you do this?
These words are still considered polite; many people went up and started spraying directly. Sometimes, having "traitors" on the inside is even more hateful than enemies on the outside!
As a result, these people were still very stubborn.
"This is our freedom, what's wrong with that? I filed a Lawsuit, can't I mediate? What right does A Yi have to not let us mediate? Their legal department said that many things in that contract are actually invalid."
Yet, after being reminded by everyone, this brother named "You Are My Eye" hurriedly contacted the legal department of Qiyi Company and received such a reply.
That's right, they cannot restrict you from accepting Mediation; this is an invalid contract, violating contract law.
As for exactly where it is illegal and which law it violates, the legal department didn't say.
Then... he naturally believed it; a dignified legal department, how could they lie to him, right?
Here is a question: do legal departments, or lawyers, or legal workers actually lie?
Think about it in your own heart; why are lawyers called "litigation sticks"? You say I promised you, is there any evidence?
For no reason, be careful, or I'll sue you for defamation!
The electronic contract was personally drafted by Fang Dazhuang, and it is a very simple contract; if you can even make this invalid, Fang Dazhuang should stop working early and go to the construction site to mix concrete.
At this point, some of the shrewder ones felt it really made sense; if the contract is invalid, we can naturally accept Mediation.
And others were too lazy to talk; some people just want to argue with the law, so let them argue.
In Guang City, Yuan Jie noticed this information and turned around to post a status update on her main account.
"To all the heroes who filed a Lawsuit, I see that some people have already agreed to Mediation; I can only say that you don't trust Fang Dazhuang's contract, but you trust Qiyi Company's legal department, right?"
"Don't you know how many traps are in the other party's Standard Clause? But I'm too lazy to talk about it; I just want to tell everyone that whether a contract is valid or invalid is indeed something unprofessional people cannot see, but the money for your Lawsuit was paid by someone else. Just think with the logic of an ordinary person: at this time, you mediate with them, is it right?"
Many times, ordinary people are actually sensitive to the law!
If you feel that this matter of yours seems to be illegal, and anyway it is just wrong, then there is no need to think; there is a high probability that this matter of yours is illegal.
Fortunately, there are relatively few people who do this; many people's ideas are very simple: even if they don't want the money, they must make this Company uncomfortable.
Because of this, after these people jumped out, the remaining people were actually even more united.
Moreover, everyone now has an idea: A Yi, are you serious? If you are really serious, you must sue these people!
In Jingzhou, Zhou Yi made a phone call to Fang Dazhuang.
"Don't worry, it's arranged!"
There is only one chapter today, everyone don't wait; I'll make it up tomorrow. I was yelled at by my wife today..
