Chapter 48 Rhetorical Question
The situation changed so quickly that probably no one expected it.
In the last trial of the case, the two young men on the opposite side were still at a disadvantage. Unexpectedly, this trial would launch a ferocious attack from the very beginning. The City Hall was caught in this fatal flaw.
Hamano was immersed in the materials in his hands, flipping through them quickly, and thinking rapidly in his mind. The public lawyer did not expect that the city hall would make such a low-level mistake.
The world is so ridiculous.
Once you get used to doing whatever you want, you won't care about these details.
People in the city hall would make such a stupid mistake, probably because they never thought that a company would look at the report carefully and compete with them.
How could a company that usually crawls on the ground and relies on orders from the city hall dare to go against the city hall?
Behind this ridiculous number is not so much a mistake of fraud.
Rather, it is naked arrogance.
Even if it's a lie, I'm too lazy to do it in a decent way.
Hamano kept flipping through the materials. As a public lawyer who had appeared before the High Court, he showed extremely calmness at this time. After browsing the materials for only a moment, Hamano immediately stood up.
Some of the city hall officials who were listening in the conference room did not know how to deal with the omissions in the figures pointed out by Miyagawa. Unexpectedly, their public lawyers had a counterattack strategy in just a moment. Suddenly, they had just been beaten by Miyagawa.
The anxiety caused by the serial questioning subsided again.
After all, this is a major project for Shinjuku City.
Once something goes wrong, you will face tremendous media pressure and blame from above.
Even among the many veterans who have fought in the officialdom, at the scene of the case, their moods could not help but be affected by the lawyer's speech.
Hamano said, "Leave aside the issue of sample testing weight, even if what you said is true. Let me assume that your client's sample passed the test 100%. However, I would like to draw the attention of lawyer Miyagawa. The final outcome of the ecological runway involved in the case
Whether you win the bid or not is a comprehensive score from all aspects.”
The public lawyer showed the score sheet in his hand to everyone present, "As you can see, the factors for winning the bid are determined by many aspects. Product sampling and testing account for 10 points, and secondary product bidding and price reduction account for 10 points. Technical staff responded
Speed accounts for 10 points, company construction quality control accounts for 10 points, construction period accounts for 10 points, company interviews and inspections account for 10 points, in addition to technical personnel qualifications, product materials and other factors."
"Okay, let's assume that your product sampling test reaches full marks." Hamano shook the form in his hand, "That means you got 10 points in this item."
"But -" Hamano said in a longer voice, "Except for your company, the second winning bidder and the third winning bidder all got perfect scores in product sampling testing."
"Originally, the runway is not a high-tech construction. It is a matter of course that the products pass the sampling test. The product testing of other companies also has full marks. Even if you are given full marks, you may not be the candidate who will eventually win the bid."
Hamano's voice echoed in the conference room.
The public lawyer displayed almost rogue logic.
You think it was because the product failed to pass the test that you failed to win the bid.
However, this experienced public lawyer took a different approach and did not dwell on the issue of whether the sample test was qualified. Instead, he opened up another front - even if your sample test is qualified, you may not win the bid.
Hamano continued, "If we look at the subsequent score sheet items, we can understand why Lawyer Shirakawa and his client are not the inevitable winning bidders."
"For example, the second price reduction. In the final round of bid evaluation, the tenderer will once again give the opportunity to lower the price. However, it is obvious that your client is not willing to lower the price again to make profits. The other two first-choice bidders are both
You lowered the price by more than 8% respectively, and then you only lowered it by 3%. This resulted in you only receiving 3 points in the price score."
"Another example is enterprise construction quality control. You lacked representative projects that were eye-catching enough in the past, so the tenderer has doubts about whether you can successfully complete the construction requirements. Therefore, your score in this item is only 3 points.
.”
"Also, let's conduct an interview with the company. I don't know what kind of bad impression you have left on the bidding team. On this point, you actually only scored 1 point."
Hamano put down the materials in his hands and looked at the young lawyer opposite, "Yes, even if you are right, the runway sample test is qualified. However, your scores in other aspects are far behind other winning candidates.
After inspecting other projects, there is nothing wrong with demoting the position of your first candidate and letting other bidders win the bid!"
"You deliberately ignore the disadvantages of other scoring items and blindly rely on another test report that you don't know whether it is true or false. Please tell me, when did our Japanese companies fall to this point? Even the most basic products are qualified, and we have to make big claims.
Specifically, is it a place worthy of showing off!!"
Hamano's series of rhetorical questions instantly suppressed Miyagawa's aura.
The public lawyer completed his fight back from a desperate situation.
Indeed, there are irregularities and flaws in the procedures.
However, in terms of results, it's fine.
Even if I kill you by mistake, I'm sorry. This is a necessary price to pay for the operation of the system.
Miyagawa did not expect that the opposing lawyer could refute from this perspective. Just like during the first trial, she was shocked by the shameless appearance of the opposing public lawyer and the city hall.
I didn't expect that today, the city hall would still talk like this.
This kind of serious fraud was actually put down lightly.
"Since you committed fraud in the sample testing process, the related bidding is invalid!!!" Miyagawa immediately retorted anxiously.
After hearing this, Hamano still just smiled faintly, "Lawyer Miyagawa. Matters in the administrative field are very complicated, and there are many factors to consider."
"Currently - the ecological runway of the High-tech Industrial Park has been completed." The public lawyer showed evidence, "It has received a lot of praise in terms of acceptance. Various subsequent inspection reports can prove that the current ecological runway is of excellent construction quality.
It is world-class. After its completion, many Shinjuku residents came to check in and take photos, and it has become another landmark of Shinjuku City."
"Then -" Hamano asked, "Lawyer Miyagawa, what's the point of you arguing about the unfair bidding process? The authenticity of your other so-called qualification report cannot be determined yet. Do you hope to make the current
Are all the completed ecological runways to be destroyed and handed over to your client for re-construction?"
Hamano's rhetorical question was very calm without being scolded.
However, this calm tone and rhetorical questions revealed the extremely cruel and terrifying side of this world.
Yes, so what if it's unfair.
