Blackstone Code

The salesman who came out of the small roadside store adjusted his clothes and walked towards the store across the road not far away. This was not the first store he persuaded, and it would not be the last one.

Shi Luck's plan is very simple, to launch the human wave tactics to make Shi Shi lose the lawsuit.

If there were people being prosecuted every minute of every day on every street in every city in every state, that would be a frighteningly large number.

It is impossible to handle every lawsuit every moment, and once the first lawsuit is won, there will be a second, a third, and more.

When there are a sufficient number of successful cases, these successful cases can even be used as some important reference basis for the next trial of the same case - not all cases require a jury.

No one would prepare a jury for a small case like speeding or singing while peeing. In most non-criminal, non-major cases, the final decision lies in the hands of the judge.

Breach of contract obviously does not require a jury. In order to avoid making mistakes, judges choose successful cases as the basis for trial. Isn't this normal?

And this is the plan of Good Luck and other tobacco companies to drag Shimo, who are already in big trouble, into the abyss of litigation.

It's not enough if they don't deal with it. Once they deal with it, they will find holes everywhere.

There is never any room for war between capitals. In the Federation, when you can trample your opponents to death, please remember to wear spiked non-slip shoes.

After the salesman left, a truck parked outside the store, and two workers, led by a guy who looked a bit like a foreman, entered the store.

"I want these, and all the cigarettes every moment..." The foreman-like guy took out a roll of twenty-dollar currency from his wallet. This is already the most common currency in circulation. Large denomination currency.

Such a paper costs one or two thousand yuan at least, and there are still some in his wallet that he has not taken out.

The shop owner's reaction was a little slow, and he was still thinking about something. At this time, the trio who suddenly came to the door brought him back to his senses.

"Ah? Ah! Do you mean...all of them?"

He finally came to his senses now, "There are many here, you..."

"Who am I selling to?" The foreman-like guy smiled and put a roll of money on the counter.

Looking at the roll of money, the shopkeeper's breathing became a little heavy. He thought that it would be okay to sell the things and then buy another batch.

Everyone said that the supply will not be available until May and June. Now as long as you have money, you can still get some.

The purpose of doing business is to make money by selling goods. He didn't hesitate for too long before returning to the warehouse and taking out all the few supplies.

A total of more than three thousand yuan was spent, and the shop owner had a smile on his face. Out of the more than three thousand yuan, he made at least a profit of more than four hundred yuan.

Normally, it would take at least two months to earn this.

Some of the high-priced mixed colors that were distributed were also sold out. In short, this business made the shop owner very satisfied.

Looking at the money in the worker's wallet with some salivation, the shop owner swallowed, "I also have other brands of cigarettes here."

The foreman shook his head, waved his hands as a farewell, and left with the two men holding two large packages of tobacco.

Although the shop owner thought there was something wrong here, he actually made money.

After the big customer left, he called the channel dealer to place an order, but he got bad news - it was out of stock.

Tobacco products that were originally planned to be available until June were actually out of stock in mid-to-early April.

The boss looked at the door in a daze, as if he understood something.

The siege plans of several tobacco companies are still going on in an orderly manner. For them, eating a large amount of tobacco at market and wholesale prices cannot be considered a loss.

Because the value of these things is there, and as long as they don't open it, its value won't change much.

They can even take the tobacco and return it at any time, for any reason.

It doesn’t matter even if some of these goods cannot be returned (retail goods cannot be returned without receipts, and channel dealers have purchase orders for bulk trade that can be returned). As long as they wait until the time is right and put these tobacco products back into the market at a discount for cash, they won’t lose too much. Much money.

But every time because of early shortage, no goods flow into the market for several months. This will have a huge and devastating blow to every moment.

The next day, some things happened naturally. For example, someone came to ask if there were any cigarettes in every moment. After learning that there were no cigarettes, the person left.

The shopkeeper quickly walked to the door and watched the young man walk into the opposite shop. When he came out again, there was already a cigarette in his mouth, which made him realize that there were some things he had to make a choice.

At noon, the salesman came again. He didn't spend too much words to get the store owner to agree to the salesman's proposal, but he also had a question.

"Why are you suing Shishi in my name?" The shop owner was a little nervous about this. On one side he was an ordinary person, and on the other side he was a large company with a market value of more than one billion.

It is impossible not to be afraid in the capital society of the Federation.

"Because you are one of the subjects of the lawsuit and your interests have been violated. You have to speak out for this. Only you will pay attention to your rights and interests, and others will not!"

“If you don’t have the courage to speak up for yourself, who can you expect to help you?”

Finally, with half persuasion and half voluntariness, the shop owner signed his name on the agency contract with some hesitation.

At this moment, Lynch had returned to Bupen in advance, and more and more lawyer letters and court summons were sent to the legal department at all times.

They can accept it and ignore it, but they will not be absent when the local court is in session.

Lynch sat in the president's office with a calm expression, and a lot of the company's management came.

Those with relatively high status stood inside the office, while those with lower status stood outside the office. Now everyone knows that the company is in big trouble, and it may even shake the foundation of the company.

People looked at Lynch quietly, and Lynch looked at a court summons in his hand.

After reading it, he showed it to everyone, "This is a court summons with the first postmark last week, but it just appeared in our company mailbox today. Our competitor used some very inappropriate methods." Glorious means."

This method is indeed very disgraceful, but... it is relatively common.

After the plaintiff sues the defendant, the court will notify the defendant in writing and allow them to attend the hearing within a specified time.

If the defendant does not take the subpoena and the lawsuit seriously, then the defendant will simply perform its duties in absentia when the court is opened - which is most of the time, unless the plaintiff's accusation is too ridiculous.

So does this mean that as long as the other party does not come, the judge can give the result that the plaintiff wants based solely on the plaintiff's lawyer's words without the defendant's lawyer's argument?

Yes, that's it.

The court may even fine the defendant several hundred dollars for his absence, which is considered contempt of court.

There was once a real estate company and some residents in a community who sued these residents because the demolition issue could not be resolved.

Then they used some little tricks, like breaking the post office car.

The Federation is a country with a standard work system. When the post office car broke down, the postman would not ride a bicycle to deliver the letter. It took them a week to repair the car - it took an afternoon to repair the car, and the rest of the time Used to declare vehicle repair expenses.

When the summons was delivered to the residents, the court also ruled in favor of the real estate company.

Those residents wanted to appeal, but could not come up with much money. In the end, they had no choice but to sign a contract that did not benefit them much and move out of their houses.

In the Federation, capitalists have countless ways to squeeze all kinds of profits from their targets, and this is just the most common one.

But it's also very effective.

"I still have a dozen unopened subpoenas here. They all probably have the same content. They were issued almost a week ago and they didn't arrive in my hands until this moment."

"Our opponents used very despicable methods to try to take away the fruits of victory and glory from my hands, and we certainly cannot let them do that."

Lynch thought for a while and looked at the head of the legal department, "Do we have any countermeasures?"

The head of the legal department thought for a while and shook his head, "The only thing we can do is to delay the trial on the grounds of too many lawsuits. In fact, we still need to face every lawsuit. This is definitely not enough." Your request, Mr. Lynch.”

Lynch is talking about "countermeasures," and the word countermeasures is not defensive, but offensive.

Lynch frowned, "If we ignore these lawsuits..."

The head of the legal department replied, "We have a high probability of losing every lawsuit. We will also face huge compensation and lose some of the company's previous designs."

Once the "No. 1 counter" is lost, the competitiveness in the low-end market will obviously decline. Those tobacco companies have found the key to the current situation.

Terminal distribution is the magic weapon to win every moment, and it is also the noose that will make you fall off the horse!

Lynch suddenly raised his head, "We didn't say when we had to supply the goods, right?" He said and looked at the head of the legal department, "Is there a standardized contract?"

If the contract does not mention the annual supply method and deadline, then these lawsuits are obviously inappropriate. It can be delayed until the last second of the contract to complete the supply fact. This does not violate the terms of the contract.

The head of the legal department seemed to realize this, "I'm not sure, I'll go right away..."
