Crazy, You Call This a Trainee Lawyer Chapter 657

   If the current situation is favorable for the plaintiff?

   Then Xiao Lily will tell you, please be optimistic, you think too little.

   The current situation is more than favorable?

   The plaintiff is almost invincible now!

  Invincible!

   She couldn't find any place to refute!

   Difficult!

   Watching Bai Meiqi casually call a witness, and relying on a few words to control the wind direction of the entire court, Xiao Baihe felt powerless.

   "Lawyer, what's the situation now?"

   At this moment, the client Mr. Bao questioned Xiao Baihe in a low voice.

  You are a defense lawyer. Can you think of a way? Please help!

  Xiao Baihe is speechless, do you think I can save me if I want to?

   Don't you look at what's going on now?

   The first witness Bai Meiqi called was the person in charge of the gallery. This Ms. Mi said that before your wife died, she promised to donate all the paintings to the gallery.

   And she also mentioned the trend of "public welfare".

If the    paintings are auctioned off, at least half of the money will be used for public welfare.

  What kind of people are the jury, they are willing to look at 20 million paintings, of which 10 million are used for public welfare, and they will not watch the full amount of money go to you, a person who "gets for nothing".

   To convince the jury, you have to prove that you are a motivated, excellent or poor, innocent, in short, someone who deserves the 20 million, which is really hard.

  Mr. Bao, ask yourself, are you such a person?

   A person who will be late for court hearing in the morning!

   A person who is impatient, does not respect others, and does not pay attention to a little personal quality, deserves the sympathy of the jury?

  Xiao Lily is actually very polite.

   She was about to slap the face of the client directly, and asked on the spot: Do you have a key, and how many?

   In court, Bai Meiqi also noticed the dilemma of the defendant.

   "Hmph, Xiao Baihe, the former ace prosecutor, but unfortunately now you have left your comfort zone and entered the cruel defense lawyer industry, and you have nothing to do!"

   She looked at the "contradictory" exchange between Xiao Baihe and Mr. Bao, the client, and sneered in her heart.

   The trump card of yesteryear, but that's it.

   In the court, the only person in the world who can make Bai Meiqi pay attention to her is the person she once was!

pity…

   She never had the chance to fight each other again.

  Bai Meiqi's heart was full of sadness for a moment, and then it was replaced by the seriousness of professional ethics.

   Now, all she has to do is win this lawsuit!

   "Ms. Mi, you said that the painter Ms. Wang once promised the gallery that she would donate all her words to your gallery, right?"

"Yes."

   "Then, is there any evidence for this matter? I'm afraid that when the defense crosses the order, I will question you about this matter!"

   Bai Meiqi said, and glanced at Xiao Baihe provocatively.

  You think I can't think of it, I have long expected that you will definitely struggle with this problem, but I will not give you a chance!

   "On this issue, it is actually a tacit understanding between us."

   "Oh, so you don't have any agreement on the title of the book?"

"Yes, we only have a verbal agreement, but every time Ms. Wang's new works will be placed in my gallery, and every time a painting is sold, Ms. Wang will meet the buyer with me, and we will communicate with each other. "

   When the witness answered, his face was reminiscent: "I still remember that Ms. Wang and I, as well as the client who bought the painting, had a great conversation every time."

"Because Ms. Wang is a pure person, she only has art in her eyes, she doesn't want to be bound by rules and regulations, I think this is the reason why artists can create such beautiful paintings. I have seen many painters, most of them are wild and uninhibited , if they are bound by so-called contracts or contracts, they will not be able to create excellent paintings like "I"."

"So, I don't think that even if Ms. Wang is getting weaker and weaker, even if something happens to her in the future, she can't continue to create, and even her ex-husband will fight for the so-called inheritance, I have not asked Ms. Wang to sign any written form with our gallery. In the form of a contract, the relationship between us is more like a friend, more like a so-called confidant."

   Hearing the answer from the witness Mi Nvshu, Bai Meiqi couldn't help but nodded.

   She glanced at the jury, and so did the jury.

   She knew that if Xiao Baihe repeatedly emphasized on this issue that there is no written contract, the so-called friend is just a game of interests, etc., then the jury will definitely be disgusted.

   What the jury hates most is the so-called relationship between friendship and money, and if you take the initiative and repeatedly emphasize, then you, the person who asked the question, must be the first to encounter hostility.

   This is steady!

  Bai Meiqi wanted to end the question immediately, but after taking a look at Xiao Baihe and her client, she decided to be more cautious.

   "Ms. Mi, although talking about other people behind your back is not good, as a friend of the late Ms. Wang, do you understand the relationship between Ms. Wang and her ex-husband?"

"this…"

  The witness glanced at Mr. Bao, then nodded: "Of course I understand. Although Ms. Wang doesn't like to chat with others, because her family knows her family affairs, she and her ex-husband don't care well, but..."

"but what?"

   "But there is a saying that good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles. The relationship between Ms. Wang and her ex-husband is actually known to the neighbors and the surrounding area."

   "So, in these neighborhoods, what kind of person is Mr. Bao?"

   "To put it simply, he's just a **** who eats and waits to die, doesn't work at home, and depends on Ms. Wang for his life!"

"be opposed to!"

   Following the witness's answer, Xiao Baihe immediately stood up to express his objection.

"I'm not wrong, Mr. Bao stopped working a long time ago, and even said this to Ms. Wang: Anyway, I go out to work every day, and it only costs a few thousand yuan a month, and you sell a painting for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Million, you are my wife, who will support me if you don't?"

   "Objection, hearsay evidence!"

  Xiao Baihe interrupted again, but the witness had already said all these words.

   For a time, the eyes of the entire court looking at Mr. Bao were very unfriendly.

   A big man who doesn't go out to work and relies on his wife to support him every day is really indecent!

   Waste!

  Isn't this a proper waste?

   The scornful, unhappy, trash-like eyes made Mr. Bao restless.

   "I...I'm not trash!"

   He shouted loudly in court, blushing.

  Unfortunately, this sentence has no effect at all. Everyone thinks that this man is helpless.

   "Judge Ni, we end the question!"

   Bai Meiqi saw this and hurriedly spoke out, blocking Ni Qiuping's possible next words.

   "Although you ended quickly, this court still wants to explain that the objection is valid, and rumors cannot be counted as evidence!"

   Ni Qiuping said, glanced at Bai Meiqi, her eyes were slightly unkind.

   But then, she looked at Xiao Baihe with speechless eyes.

  You can't do it!

   As far as your level is concerned, how about an ace?

   You are a loser!

   Even the judge thinks that Xiao Baihe is helpless, which is naturally the true ending.

   "Defense lawyer, please go to court!"

   At the prompt of Ni Qiuping, Xiao Baihe went to court.

   Bai Meiqi, who was sitting on the plaintiff's seat, watched this scene with great interest. She wanted to see if Xiao Baihe would step on the thunder.

   "Witness, you...you don't have any written entrustment agreement with Ms. Wang. Are you going to auction her paintings?"

"Yes."

  Ms. Mi directly nodded and answered.

   "Sure enough!"

   Hearing this question, Bai Meiqi sneered directly.

  You stepped on the thunder, Xiao Baihe!

   When I saw the jury, many people showed a clear expression.

   The plaintiff's lawyer guessed right, and the defendant really got tangled up about the contract and paper records.

  Xiao Baihe also has some misery at the moment, because what else can she do other than this question, she is not Zhang Wei, she will ask some questions that make people cry.

and many more…

  Xiao Baihe suddenly stopped complaining, but had a flash of inspiration in his mind.

   If it was Zhang Wei, what questions would he ask? Zhang Wei's best operation, I remember it was…

   Suddenly, a strange color flashed in Xiao Baihe's eyes.

"Um?"

  Bai Meiqi in the plaintiff's bench and Ni Qiuping in the trial bench all noticed a touch of strangeness.

  Xiao Lily, as if he had an epiphany just now.

   "Witness, you are the owner of the gallery, right?"

"Yup."

   "As a gallery, that is, an art intermediary, the objects you serve are divided into two parties, right? The creators who entrust the auction of Huazhuo, and the customers who buy Huazhuo, right?"

"Yes."

   "To run such a large gallery in the East, the daily expenses should not be low, right?"

"this…"

  The witness was stunned for a moment, not understanding the significance of this question.

   "Objection, nothing to do with the case!"

  Bai Meiqi immediately got up and interrupted Xiao Baihe.

   "Judge Ni, we will prove next that this question has a very important relationship with this case, please allow me to continue to ask questions!"

   But Xiao Baihe's face was firm, and he looked at Ni Qiuping with the same bright eyes.

   "Good guy, this confident look reminds me of a person!"

  Ni Qiuping saw this scene, with a trace of nostalgia on her face, she couldn't help but nodded.

   "This court will give you a chance, but please pay attention to the time!"

  Ni Qiuping said, looking at Bai Meiqi, "The objection is invalid, the defense can continue to ask questions!"

  Bai Meiqi sat down helplessly, and then looked at the court, she also felt a strange feeling.

   And Xiao Baihe, after getting permission, immediately asked again: "Ms. Mi, as a gallery owner, you can't really just do charity work, so how do you manage a gallery as big as you?"

   "This, I admit that I will charge a certain fee, but..."

   "I'm glad you mentioned the handling fee. This handling fee should be a certain percentage of the service fee charged according to the total amount converted into the auction, right?"

"Yes, it is…"

   This time, after answering the question, Ms. Mi gave the jury a special look.

   In the jury, the way someone looked at her also changed.

   "Then witness, I would like to ask what is the auction price of the most valuable painting in your gallery other than Ms. Wang's painting?"

"this…"

   "Ms. Mi, your gallery has transaction records. If you don't answer, can I answer it?"

   "About 300,000."

   Seeing that Xiao Baihe was about to speak, the witness hurriedly replied.

  Xiao Lily's expression did not change, but she breathed a sigh of relief.

   Because she didn't read the transaction records at all, and didn't know if the number was correct.

   "Your handling fee is generally 10%. If you are a writer who urgently sells paintings or urgently needs money, you may charge 20%, right?"

"um, yes…"

   "Then I will calculate it at 10%. 300,000 is the service fee of 30,000. Is this really the second most expensive painting in your gallery?"

   "This... Except for Ms. Wang, the paintings of the painters collected by my gallery are all of the non-master level..."

   The phrase "non-master level" is actually a high emotional intelligence.

  Low EQ: That's a bunch of amateur players!

   "Then can I think that your gallery relies on serving Ms. Wang enough to maintain its daily operations and still have a slight surplus?"

"this…"

"Ms. Wang's paintings, a painting is worth at least 500,000 yuan, and you charge a service fee of 50,000 yuan. And Ms. Wang's paintings in recent years are very marketable, and a painting can even be sold for 5 million yuan, then your service fee can be That's 500,000!"

   Hearing the number "500,000", the jury was slightly touched, and at the same time the eyes of the witnesses changed.

   "The painting "I" is worth 20 million yuan. This is still the minimum estimate before the auction. I will calculate it according to the ratio of this number and 10%, so the service fee can reach at least 2 million yuan, right!"

   This time, the witness did not speak.

   "Witness, may I think that you want to compete with my client for this painting, in fact, the fundamental purpose is also for money!"

   As soon as this statement came out, the audience was in an uproar.

yes!

   At the beginning, everyone only saw that Mr. Bao was competing for paintings, for paintings worth 20 million.

   But they overlooked one point, that is Ms. Mi, the owner of the gallery. What is her purpose?

  There are two parties competing for the painting. Ms. Mi sued Mr. Bao because the latter had made a lot of trouble in the gallery, trying to take away the painting "I" displayed in the gallery!

  Because of this, many people think that Mr. Bao has always wanted the 20 million paintings.

   That's true, he really wanted it, he didn't even hide it.

   But they ignored the other party, which is the gallery where the paintings are preserved, the owner of the gallery, Ms. Mi.

   Does she also want to paint?

   To sell a painting, she can charge a handling fee of at least 2 million.

   This amount of money is also not a small amount, and this ratio can be increased. The total price converted into the auction is only the guaranteed reserve price. If the buyer can afford the money, what if the price is increased or even doubled?

   In case, there are several buyers bidding, isn't it super doubled?

  After all, when is the painter's painting the most valuable?

   Of course, after the painter died, he became a masterpiece!

   Therefore, Xiao Baihe's question suddenly changed the direction of the court.

   Both Bai Meiqi and Ni Qiuping seemed to have seen someone.

   At this moment, Xiao Baihe seems to be possessed by that person, and asking questions is like divine help!

   "Witness, in my opinion, you and my client Mr. Bao are actually the same. Do you want that painting too?"

"I…"

   "You don't need to explain, since you took the painting, or even cheated the painting from Ms. Wang, your purpose has been exposed!"

"be opposed to!"

  Bai Meiqi immediately stood up and pointed at Xiao Baihe to express her protest.

   "I take back the last sentence and end the question!"

  Xiao Baihe naturally achieved his goal. He followed Bai Meiqi's routine and ended the question directly.

   Done!

After    returned to his seat, Xiao Baihe breathed a sigh of relief.

  What is Zhang Wei's routine?

  Return to him in his own way!

  Since Bai Meiqi thought about linking the case with money, she wanted to portray the defendant Mr. Bao as an unscrupulous person who would not hesitate to stalk him for money and to get paintings.

  Then I also use your routine to portray Ms. Mi, the owner of the gallery, as an unscrupulous person who will also do anything for the millions of fees, and even deceive the painter Ms. Wang.

come on!

   Everyone hurts each other!

   See who is afraid of whom, right?

  My client did not hesitate to fight the gallery for 20 million.

   Your gallery directly sued my client for the handling fee, and you are not much better, right?

   Now, the jury was really affected.

   Although they looked at Mr. Bao in a bad way.

   But in the same way, the way they looked at the witness, Ms. Mi, was also not quite right.

   They all knew one thing.

   It turns out that the two of you are doing this for money!

   "Witness, you can leave."

   Seeing the deadlock between the two sides, Ni Qiuping opened his mouth to preside over the court order.

  Ms. Mi left the witness, returned to the plaintiff's seat, and communicated with Bai Meiqi in a low voice.

   They could naturally see the change in the direction of the court, and immediately began to think about strategies.

   "Lawyer Bai, do you still have any witnesses to call?"

   "Judge Ni, we have confirmed with the client that there are currently no witnesses to be called, so give the defense the opportunity to speak!"

   Hearing Bai Meiqi say this, Ni Qiuping was a little surprised.

  As Jincheng's lawyer, Bai Meiqi actually only called one witness and gave up the opportunity to speak?

  Kincheng Law Firm is famous for its wealth and wealth, so it must have prepared a lot of witnesses.

   Is this a plan to counter the defense?

  Ni Qiuping didn't know, but she didn't want to think, she looked at Xiao Baihe.

  It's your turn.

   "We summoned Mr. Bao's sister, Ms. Bao to testify in court!"

   Just as Xiao Baihe announced, in the first row of the hearing booth, a woman slowly got up and walked to the witness booth.

   "Why don't you let me go up and talk first, but summon my sister instead?"

   The client, Mr. Bao, was a little dissatisfied when he saw this.

   "Mr. Bao, you don't need to appear in court yet."

  Xiao Lily is coping on the surface, but in fact, she has already started to complain.

  You want to go to court, what level are you, don't you have any pressure in your heart?

  If you go up and sit on the witness stand, aren't you a living target for the plaintiff?

   It's because you hate that the opponent won't win fast enough, so you want to go up and give the opponent a head, right?

   I've had enough to eat, so I'll summon you idiot to go up?

   Can you treat me as a fool like you?

   Of course, these words were all scolded by Xiao Baihe in her heart. On the surface, she was naturally calm.

   "Hello, witness."

   "Hello, lawyer."

   After the two sides greeted each other, Xiao Baihe asked questions directly.

   "Witness, I want to ask, does Ms. Wang love Mr. Bao?"
