"What conditions did the other party put forward?" Kamesaburo asked impatiently, sitting behind his desk, the fat on his face twitching slightly, leaning forward.

In the office, Legal Director Watanabe read the settlement agreement faxed from the other party very carefully, his eyes slowly scanning every line of text on it, for fear of missing some important information. This settlement agreement only has one A4 piece of paper, and the length is estimated to be no more than

It was a thousand words, but Watanabe read it for nearly 10 minutes before he said:

"Director... Chairman, the other party proposed a settlement amount of 15 billion yen."

1...15 billion yen. When he heard this number, the two eyebrows on Kamesaburo's face knitted together deeply. From this number alone, the chairman felt that the other party had made great preparations. 150

One billion yen is undoubtedly a huge sum of money for the current Akagi Hotel Group, but the size of this amount is just right. Although it has put a lot of pressure on the hotel's finances, it will not really hurt the hotel's finances.

to the flesh and blood within.

If this number is higher, such as 20 billion yuan, it will already have a squeezing effect on the hotel's cash flow.

Thinking of this, Kamesaburo felt that he had been completely controlled by the other party, and the self-esteem in his heart couldn't help but make a rage burn in his chest. The chairman spoke again:

"How is the hotel deposit refund issue resolved now?"

Watanabe Head Office reported: "Currently, another account has been temporarily connected to handle deposits for hotel branches in various districts of Tokyo. The sudden change has made the cash on hand even tighter for us. Now we mainly rely on customs clearance.

The operating cash generated by the west branch is supporting it.”

On the table, the dim desk lamp illuminated Kamesaburo's face, forming a staggered area of ​​light and dark. For a moment, others could not clearly see the expression of the hotel owner, and could only see the faint outline of his face, making it difficult to understand this person.

The inner thoughts of the chairman.

"What is your attitude towards this settlement agreement?" Kamesaburo leaned behind the office chair and said in a deep voice.

Machiko sat on the sofa and glanced sideways at Gu Meimen. After receiving instructions from the lawyer with a 100% winning rate, she immediately flipped through the small notebook in her hand and said:

"Chairman, our suggestion is to accept the settlement. In this case, the other party's claim to eliminate nuisance may have caused us to suffer losses of more than 80 billion yen, including the loss of a building costing 720 yen, and the corresponding

demolition costs.”

"Now, during the trial, the other party also felt the tremendous pressure we exerted, so it took the initiative to propose a settlement. Although the settlement amount is 15 billion yen, it is likely to suffer losses of more than 80 billion yen compared to the previous year. The amount has been reduced.

Now the other party has proposed to calculate the hotel’s land infringement area according to the projection method. Since our hotel building has indeed crossed the land boundary in mid-air, this method may also be adopted by the court.”

"According to the projection method calculation, our compensation amount may be more than 40 billion yen. The settlement amount is about 60% lower than the compensation amount. Therefore, based on the above, we can choose to accept this settlement agreement."

Gu Meimen was holding a teacup in his hand, with his legs crossed, sipping the tea in the cup. Machiko had already expressed his point of view. If it were normal, Gu Meimen would not choose to accept the settlement, but would continue to fight. But now,

After these two days of trial and confrontation, to some extent, he had already felt the high degree of uncertainty brought about by the Kitahara lawyer.

Right now, even Gu Meimen can no longer see the next direction of this lawsuit.

Choosing to accept settlement is the best option.

Ikegami and Imanishi, who are also in the office, already admire Gu Meimen very much for being able to turn a losing case into this situation. At the moment, the other party would rather risk being considered a malicious security guard than come to freeze the hotel's bank.

account, which also shows that the plaintiff has been forced into a position of no retreat by the barrister in front of him, and can only launch a final struggle.

However, while admiring Gu Meimen, the two lawyers couldn't help but think about how long they could sustain if they faced Gu Meimen's ferocious counterattack.

Kamesaburo listened to Machiko's report without showing any expression. He stared at the carpet in front of the table and did not speak for a long time. Then he raised his head and looked at Watanabe, "What do you think?"

Watanabe lowered his head and looked at the settlement agreement in his hand, "I also agree with lawyer Gu Meimen. Although the other party has initiated litigation preservation, we can also submit a guarantee to the court to lift the preservation. However, this ultimately means that we will always

A large amount of cash will be constrained. What the company needs most for its overseas mergers and acquisitions right now is certainty. Although the amount of 15 billion yen has had a great impact on the company, with the hotel's stable cash flow, overseas mergers and acquisitions can still start as scheduled."

Kamesaburo listened to the arguments of the "capitulation faction", and his inner unwillingness became stronger and stronger. The incident of the hotel account being frozen made the chairman unwilling to accept reconciliation. The impact of the account freezing on the reputation of the hotel, such as

Someone blatantly wandered over, peed in front of the store, and then walked away.

How could Kamesaburo, who had been a proud man of heaven and domineering since he was a child, bear such a tone?

"Yes... that's right. Chairman." Watanabe's face suddenly became a little hesitant, as if he was hesitating whether to say the next thing: "The other party... the other party's settlement agreement has another requirement.

...Say yes, you have to apologize to the plaintiff in person. They...They said...the hotel instigated Aoba Terrace Apartment's plan to seize the land, and they have...already known about it. If...if you don't apologize to them in person, this

They will not agree to a settlement agreement."

When Watanabe's voice fell, Gu Meimen frowned slightly, and the hand holding the tea cup stiffened, as if he didn't expect that the other party had already tracked down this level.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Kamesaburo's expression was obviously stunned, as if he had heard something unbelievable. He said...apologize to a bunch of disabled people who were playing around with mallets on the court.

People apologize?! After thinking of such a humiliating scene, and adding the fact that the hotel account was frozen, it was as if a powder keg was ignited in my heart and exploded.

The hotel owner suddenly stood up from behind the table, with veins popping up in his neck. He directly picked up the table lamp and smashed it to the ground, "How is it possible! How could I apologize to such a bunch of guys?"

!!!”

The wire was pulled out suddenly, and the entire crystal lamp holder fell to the carpet with a dull crash. The lampshade also fell off and rolled under the bookcase next to it.

"Chairman, calm down." Watanabe quickly stood up and said.

Kamesaburo was about to get angry again when the cell phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated. He had to take out the phone and saw that the caller ID on it was Kurosawa's phone number...

…

Outside the office corridor.

Kamesaburo held the phone in his left hand, and gently held the speaker receiver under the phone with his right hand, with a very respectful expression on his face. He never dared to neglect any calls related to that gentleman.

"Do you know how much trouble the foreign exchange freeze has caused Mr. Congressman?" Kurosawa's somewhat cold voice came from the mobile phone. The gentle tone seemed to have a biting chill, like a silver needle.

into the listener's eardrum.

"In the current economic situation, what foreign exchange means to Dongyang. I think Chairman, you should know. Every dollar currently held by Dongyang is a weapon to maintain the stability of our country's exchange rate."

Kurosawa's voice continued, "Currently, foreign exchange is not just foreign currency, but the property of the Japanese people and a public instrument! Do you understand, Chairman? These US dollars are allocated to you for overseas acquisitions. Don't think that it is

The private property of your company. Every time a foreign exchange is approved, the big shots at the top of the East will keep a close eye on the flow of U.S. dollars."

"Now, your accounts have been frozen as soon as these US dollars have been approved. Where do you put the face of the congressman who has been lobbying for the Akawood Hotel Group project?"

Kamesaburo's forehead was already covered with sweat, the hand holding the phone was shaking, his knees were a little weak, and he was leaning against the wall of the corridor, unable to stand up independently. The look of being furious in the room just now completely disappeared.

No. This is the sad thing about people. The anger of domineering people only dares to be directed at the weaker ones. When they encounter more powerful people, they actually dare not even take a breath.

"In short, I hope you will resolve this matter as soon as possible. Don't let down Mr. Congressman's earnest hope for your Akagi Hotel." Kurosawa's voice came.

Then the phone hung up, leaving only the sound of "beep, beep, beep" echoing.

The call lasted less than five minutes, but it felt like he had gone through a long period of torture. Every word the secretary said was like a high-voltage electric current specially designed to torture prisoners, causing tremendous pain to every inch of nerves and flesh in the body. Kamesaburo

He took a deep breath and slumped down in the corridor. His face was pale. He couldn't imagine, and he didn't dare to imagine the consequences of offending that gentleman. At this moment, the only thing that echoed in his ears was the congressional secretary.
