The first working day after the weekend, 8:20 in the morning, East Lake High-tech Zone Court.
The queue of people waiting for the court to open has never been so long. In the queue are litigants waiting to file cases and lawyers eager to execute the case.
Of course, the largest group of people were the law students who came to eat melon on the orders of their teachers.
In full view of everyone, a red Porsche 718 two-door sports car drove into the court parking lot.
The party has arrived.
Through the sports car window, slightly distorted light shines on the driver.
When I got off the car, my straightly ironed white shirt was squeezed out of wrinkles, and my unruly face shone in the sun.
A handsome man, a beautiful woman, and a sports car. This combination makes people unable to take their eyes away.
Suddenly, maybe because of the heat or because the number didn't fit, the man unbuttoned two buttons on his collar.
Gu Yun and his assistant got out of the car. When they looked up, they saw a long queue. There were many familiar people in it.
Not to mention, the freshmen of the law school are very capable of execution. So many people came out to observe the mediation in the morning when there were no classes.
Gu Yun rarely drove his car into the school. This was the first time he slipped around in front of so many people. Many freshmen who recognized him showed surprised expressions.
When it comes to Paradise Technology, is it always like this?
Who is the girl next to him? She looks familiar. I met her when the student union organized a debate competition.
The world is so real. Zhong Leyi's former classmates were full of dissatisfaction with Gu Yun. Even if they heard that this kid started his own business and developed popular software, they were still dissatisfied. But when they saw the real and beautiful sports car, their dissatisfaction gradually disappeared.
It was half past eight, and the crowd gradually moved forward.
After undergoing the security check, due to the unexpected number of people attending today, Judge Wang Xiaohong specifically applied to use the third trial court, which has the largest space.
Wang Xiaohong: "Mediation will begin now. Please state the facts and reasons for this dispute and provide corresponding evidence."
Qin Haosen was wearing a crisp suit. Lawyer Zhao next to him handed him a pile of materials, which seemed to take him seriously. He submitted the evidence and made a speech.
Gu Yun immediately spoke and cross-examined.
Their eyes met briefly in the air.
Wang Xiaohong: “Please ask the applicant Chalk Education to propose a mediation plan.”
Qin Haosen: "Request Paradise Technology to compensate Xiaole Learning for 70% of the follow-up course fees for the 1,800 students in the first public examination system class. The unit price of the system class is 8,500 yuan, and the Xiaole Learning platform takes a 35% commission. After calculation, the amount of the loss is 696.15
Ten thousand yuan.”
The auditorium was in an uproar.
More than six million, close to seven million?
Are you kidding? Xiaole Learning has to lose so much money?
But then I thought about it, the platform takes a 35% commission, so how much money did Paradise Technology make before?
The audience in the auditorium looked at each other, confused.
This is just a channel for public examinations. Coupled with the tutoring business that was popular among college students and the now expanded K12 online course Xiaoyuan Search Questions, such a wealth accumulation speed makes people dizzy just thinking about it.
Is it so easy to make money in the online education industry?
In 2012, online education was indeed a blue ocean. Smartphones had just been launched, and Paradise Technology was undoubtedly the first to take advantage.
Qin Haosen straightened his clothes, looked down at the materials compiled by Lawyer Zhao, and continued to add: "According to Article 72 of the revised draft of the Copyright Law, for two or more intentional infringements of copyright or related rights,
The amount of compensation should be determined based on one to three times the amount of compensation in the previous two paragraphs. We claim one time, and the total compensation fee is 13.923 million yuan."
"Finally, we ask Paradise Technology to apologize."
Big ups and downs.
The auditorium, which had been envious of the park's technology income just now, was completely silent.
Starting a business is like walking a tightrope. You never know when you will face bankruptcy. The infringed party's claim for double compensation sounds reasonable. Faced with such a high and huge compensation, can Paradise Technology afford the money?
Zhong Leyi bit her lip, as if her heart was pinched.
Fourteen million, with this money, Chalk will be able to ease the pressure on the capital chain. Even if there is no breakthrough in the online business, it can rely on large sums of money to reorganize offline and off-line get off work and set sail in the field of adult education and training.
Apologizing is also very important. When you go out to hang out, you pay attention to face.
After Qin Haosen finished speaking, Wang Xiaohong signaled to Gu Yun to propose a mediation plan.
"We do not agree to apologize. We are only responsible for 80% of the compensation for Chalk Education's claim that students will lose money in subsequent courses. Since some students have renewed Chalk and some students have been lost, we will not fully compensate Chalk Education.
We refused to accept the claim for double compensation, and the final compensation amount was 5.5692 million yuan."
Qin Haosen's face was ashen. The expected amount of money between the two parties was so different that it was difficult for him to accept it.
The auditorium has experienced many emotional ups and downs, and has become a little used to it. It doesn't matter how much compensation is paid. Who is justified in the end and whether they can shake hands and make peace are the core of the deal.
In the eyes of law students, what both sides said was reasonable, and the verbal battle in court allowed them to see the wider world.
Wang Xiaohong listened to the mediation plan of both parties and asked: "Have the courses of Chalk Education been registered for copyright or related rights, exclusive license contract or transfer contract?"
Qin Haosen shook his head and said no.
As a senior judge who has fought on the front line of civil affairs, Wang Xiaohong knew the relevant provisions well. Although she did not favor one party during the mediation, when she raised this issue at this critical moment, Gu Yun's eyes lit up in the audience.
"Since you have not registered your copyright, it does not meet the above circumstances, and there is no basis for claiming double compensation."
Gu Yun immediately told the other party that double compensation was impossible.
“According to the second paragraph of Article 48 of the Copyright Law, if the actual losses of the right holder or the illegal gains of the infringer cannot be determined, the court shall, based on the circumstances of the infringement, award a compensation of not more than 500,000 yuan.
, we re-claim a compensation of 500,000 yuan on the basis of the original loss costs, with a total compensation cost of 7.4615 million yuan.”
Lawyer Zhao continued to quote the law and regained his position.
"Does Park Technology accept mediation?"
"We do not accept it. We have no objection to Chalk Education's renewed claim for additional compensation of 500,000 yuan, but we are still only responsible for 80% of the loss, totaling 6.0692 million yuan."
Gu Yun continued to insist.
“Does Chalk Education accept mediation?”
After hearing Gu Yun's response, Qin Haosen clenched his hands and felt a war between heaven and man in his heart.
If you do not agree to mediation before the trial this time, you will have to spend more than half a year or even a year waiting for the litigation process to end.
In the shopping mall, opportunities are fleeting. Without such a sum of funds and online channels, what will chalk education look like in half a year?
Although the compensation was reduced by a large amount, it was still enough for him to take a breather.
never mind.
Although I didn't win, I didn't lose either.
So be it.
Qin Haosen nodded to Wang Xiaohong: "I agree to mediate."
After the mediation letter was issued, the infringement case officially came to an end. Although both parties did not reach the most satisfactory ending, they were both able to accept it.
The onlookers dispersed first, and both parties had to wait for the mediation letter to be delivered, signed and fingerprinted.
After all the procedures came to an end, Qin Haosen walked to the door, patted Gu Yun on the shoulder, and stretched out his hand.
