Qin Feng is in the San Francisco Bay area and receives a call from lawyer Eugene.
"Qin, they promised reconciliation, but they were only willing to pay 50000 dollars!" Lawyer Eugene said.
50000? Isn''t it $5 million?
Qin Feng was stunned.
"Because they think they just brought you back to the police station for questioning. Although they said they didn''t follow the rules that you are a minor and need to be accompanied by a guardian or a lawyer, they don''t think it infringed on your interests. I don''t think it has caused serious harm to you. So they are only willing to pay $50000! " Lawyer Eugene said.
In early 1995, $50000 was not a small figure even in the United States.
Of course, this is far from what lawyer Eugene asked.
Lawyer Eugene offered a price of $5 million, but it was just a lion''s big mouth. He was ready to let the other party pay it back. His psychological price is $300000. It can''t be lower than this number. As a result, the other party only offered $50000.
Although he can pay it back, I''m afraid it''s good to get $100000.
In the United States, in such cases, the police will also send lawyers to negotiate with them. The two sides will conduct various consultations and reach an agreement according to their respective circumstances.
If an agreement cannot be reached in the end, it will have to go to court.
"How long will it take to file a lawsuit? Because I''m going home soon! " Qin Feng asked.
"Qin, your situation is quite special. I can quote special talent treatment to ask the court for a speedy trial." The problem now is that if you agree to a settlement, I can try to increase the compensation to about $100000. But it can''t be higher. If you don''t agree to a settlement, we''ll go to court. You may get higher, or you can''t get a penny! "
There is no guarantee of victory in a lawsuit. In particular, it is very sensitive to how the judge finally decides such a controversial lawsuit. He only threatened the other party''s reputation and the promotion of the director. But if the other party is not threatened, he can''t help it.
Therefore, he wants to reach an agreement with Qin Feng and see what Qin Feng says.
"Eugene, what advice did you give me?" Qin Feng asked.
"Qin, if you need money, just accept it. If you don''t care about the $100000, don''t let go. I suggest you file a lawsuit. This is a small and broad opportunity. If you are willing to file a lawsuit, I have a suggestion here. That is, I suggest you take the entrance test of several famous schools to prove your talent. The more talented you are, the more likely you are to win the lawsuit. " Eugene said.
"At the same time, it will also help you study in the future. At that time, full scholarships from major institutions will be sent. This is beneficial and harmless to you. Because you are a minor and a student, even if you ask for money like this, the judge will not record your behavior and will not increase your bad impression! " Lawyer Eugene said.
Sometimes, even if you win this blackmail lawsuit, the judge will have a bad impression of you and write it into your personal file. In your personal file, or credit rating, there will be the judge''s comments on you.
This is likely to affect your personal future life. Especially if the government is involved again in the future, especially in cases of economic disputes, this comment is very disadvantageous.
This is just like when you apply for a visa. After being rejected for the first time, it will be difficult to apply again.
"Will this lawsuit attract a lot of attention?" Qin Feng suddenly asked.
"Of course. If you pass the entrance tests of several universities and the claim amount is so high, it will certainly attract the attention of the public, especially the news media. Qin, you are Chinese. Nowadays, Chinese people are very mysterious in the hearts of Americans. Many Americans are curious about China. You are a window! " Lawyer Eugene said.
"Please arrange it for me!" Qin Feng smiled, "but you must enjoy yourself. I don''t have much time. I must return home within a week."
"Qin, don''t worry. I''ll help you contact the entrance tests of Harvard, Stanford and Berkeley. This is a special entrance test for gifted students. As long as you have this talent, they will do special tricks on you. " Younian smiled and said, "your age is the biggest advantage."
If you are a genius when you are 18, a famous school like Harvard will give you a full scholarship and pay close attention to you. But it''s not enough to cause a sensation.
Because you''re 18. But Qin Feng is only 15 years old, not yet.
Such an age, if passed, is enough to cause a sensation.
Of course, there are those talents around the age of 12, which will cause a greater sensation. But that kind of genius is often not good at socializing and communicating with people. He is just a simple nerd. Although this kind of genius will also cause a sensation, the sensation is very limited.
People like Qin Feng are good at talking and can deal with all kinds of scenes freely. They don''t belong to the kind of genius with high IQ and low Eq. this is what these first-class famous schools need.
In addition, Qin Feng is a Chinese identity, which will cause a sensation.
The relationship between China and the United States has gradually warmed up in recent years. A person like Qin Feng will be sought after by the media.
As Qin Feng''s attorney, once the lawsuit is won, the share of money is nothing. What matters is that his fame will resound throughout the United States.
Even if he loses, his fame will be known to outsiders. As long as he performs well, there will be no fewer subsequent lawsuits.
"What happened to the lawsuit?" Lisa cares about asking.
"The Portland police were only willing to settle for $50000, so I refused. This is not a matter of money, but a matter of reputation and image. You can''t, because I''m Chinese, you can take me away at will, right? " Qin Feng said lightly, "moreover, this is also an opportunity. If your father is willing to go back to apple and buy apple, then this is an opportunity to publicize apple. Moreover, this is also an opportunity for me to contact famous American schools. " Qin Feng said with a smile.
In fact, Qin Feng didn''t say one more thing. That''s the chance to make yourself famous. There are so many well-known IT companies in the United States, such as Google, Facebook, youtube, etc. can these companies invest if they want to invest?
Even apple can''t be bought by those shareholders. This requires a certain fate and opportunity. Of course, the most important thing is fame.
This time, it''s time to build your own fame.
