No. 175 Huge Lawsuit

Although Chen Feng knew the relationship between him and Messer now. Senior leaders of governments should know this, but he still doesn't want to expose it in public. What's more, Messer, the richest man in the world, came to Xiuzhou, in addition to being his personal matter, it also represents a certain political significance, and he doesn't want his relatively peaceful life to be broken.

"Messer, I understand your feelings very well, but with your current status, it's better not to come to our mainland, let alone come to me specifically. Chen Feng tactfully rejected his approach.

"Boss, I understand your concerns, but haven't we already disclosed to the outside world that we are friends before? Big deal, I went to Xiuzhou to inspect in the name of investment this time, and then 'dropped by' to visit your home, so that the outside world will not pay too much attention to the real relationship between me and you. What's more, boss, you should know that your identity as the major shareholder of FENGSAI is now known to many people, and it is no longer a secret. ”

Messer's words. Chen Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seemed that Messer was determined to come, and Chen Feng didn't want to refuse too much, so he had to ask: "Then what name do you plan to come to Xiuzhou?"

"Your light industry in Xiuzhou is very developed, so I think we can invest hundreds of millions of dollars to establish a light industry group in Xiuzhou, we can consider acquiring a few light industry enterprises, and then reorganize, or we can select a few light industry groups with good development prospects to invest, I think these two ideas are very good, you should agree, right?"

Of course, Chen Feng knew that the investment of hundreds of millions of dollars he said meant US dollars, not RMB, and this hundreds of millions of US dollars were specially invested in Xiuzhou, which is really a big deal for the Xiuzhou government, and it is a good thing to be able to make enough political capital, after all, Messer is "the richest man in the world" and "financial predator" If he chooses to invest in Xiuzhou, it naturally means that he recognizes the investment environment in Xiuzhou, which after all causes a group effect, and more foreign-funded enterprises will follow suit to invest in Xiuzhou, which is naturally a great good thing for the government leaders who are now in charge of the economy.

Chen Feng also knew that the investment plan mentioned by Messer was very operational, so he gave a positive answer: "Well, your plan is very good, if you come to invest in our Xiuzhou, the return on investment is still very high." I think the government officials of our city after they found out. I'm sure I'm going to be overjoyed. ”

"Hehe, you just agree, tell me your wife's due date, I will immediately ask my secretary to make arrangements and come to Xiuzhou half a month in advance. Messer was naturally very happy to see that Chen Feng finally agreed.

Chen Feng had no choice but to answer truthfully: "The expected date of delivery is in mid-May." ”

"Haha, okay, I didn't expect it to be so fast, great, then I'll leave for Xiuzhou at the end of April." For nearly three months, I can't wait. Messer said excitedly.

Chen Feng didn't expect Messer to be so excited, he could only say that he cared too much about his son, after all, he was a godfather.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Feng explained to Hongye that he asked Messer to be his son's godfather, Hongye still doesn't know much about the real relationship between Chen Feng and Messer, and when he knew that Messer, the "richest man in the world", was willing to be his son's godfather, that is, his godfather, he was naturally overjoyed and could catch up with the relationship of the world's richest man, which was naturally very helpful for his son's future.

Although Chen Feng had already said that the last time the two went to Messer's house together, Messer verbally promised to be their son's godfather. But Momiji was still a little unconvinced, and said with a suspicious face: "Husband, you won't be joking with me, why did Messer suddenly agree to be our son's godfather?

"Wife, don't worry, Messer is the richest man in the world, how can this kind of thing be said casually, he promised to agree. He had already called me on the phone just now, and he said that he was going to visit our Xiuzhou in May, and he would definitely come to our house as a guest. ”

Hongye couldn't help but say happily when he heard this: "If that's the case, then it's great, since he is our son's godfather, this big red envelope must be indispensable." ”

Chen Feng said with a smile: "Our son is a person with great blessings, as soon as he was born, this New Year's money is at least millions, he can really be said to have grown up with a golden key, alas, this is really the same life." ”

"This is our son's life, what do you envy?" Hongye took a bite of Chen Feng.

"I'm not envious, I'm sighing. Chen Feng changed the topic as he spoke, "Our son's life is so good, you can't spoil him in the future, 'a loving mother has many ruined children', this sentence is very philosophical." ”

Hongye gave Chen Feng a roll of his eyes: "Don't worry about me, worry about your mother, I'm also afraid that our son will be spoiled by her in the future, this hasn't been born yet." She is so nervous, when our son is born, she will definitely not be able to baby, with her as our son's backstage, we will not be able to beat and scold in the future, that is really bad. ”

Chen Feng couldn't help but be speechless when he said this, and in his heart he was really afraid that his son would be spoiled by his mother in the future.

When the two chatted and watched the cartoon "Slam Dunk", Cheng Wei also called.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he congratulated loudly: "Boss, congratulations, congratulations, I didn't expect my sister-in-law to really have it, hehe, my godfather can't run away." In the past few years, I have been frugal and saved a big red envelope of 10,000 yuan for my godson, and now it has finally come in handy. ”

Needless to say, Cheng Wei, this kid, also saw the news of Hongye's pregnancy, especially the pregnancy test form is ironclad evidence.

As a tablemate, Chen Feng naturally knew that Cheng Wei had been secretly saving money in the past few years, and the original purpose of his saving money was to go to college, but he didn't expect it to be used as a red envelope now, Chen Feng was slightly moved in his heart, but he was used to talking to this little brother, and said angrily at the moment: "Don't expect you to be my son's godfather." My son has already found a godfather, so you can obediently be my son's uncle. ”

"Boss, this is so unfair! I think I'm the only one who is best suited to be your son's godfather. Say, which bastard is robbing me of my job?" asked Cheng Wei pretending to be indignant.

Chen Feng did not hide it, and replied truthfully: "The richest man in the world, Holman Messer, have you heard of it?"

When Cheng Wei heard this answer, he was naturally surprised, and exclaimed loudly: "Boss, are you kidding? Messer is your son's godfather, how is this possible? I remember the newspaper report. You're just ordinary friends with him, don't you want to be that much?"

"Facts speak louder than words, my son's godfather is him, the last time I went to his house with your sister-in-law in Hong Kong, he personally promised that if we have children in the future, we will be the godfather of our son or daughter, so you don't have to think about the title of godfather. ”

"Boss, you're too unkind. How to say, I have been at the same table with you so much, for you I went up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire, the wind and the rain came and went, when you and your sister-in-law were in the church's 'wedding', or I personally arranged it, you can't cross the river and tear down the bridge, so let's do it, just when what you say is true, I can't compete for the world's richest man, Messer, but I retreat to the second, he will be your son's godfather, and I will be the second godfather. ”

"Get out, you think my son is called godfather casually, one godfather is enough, and two of them, then what is my biological father? What's more, Messer himself won't agree, don't think about it, just be my son's uncle." As long as you love my son more in the future, when he grows up, he will definitely treat you as your own uncle, which is closer than a godfather. ”

Cheng Wei sighed and said: "Alas, there is no way, since you don't agree, boss, then I'll be an uncle, it's better than nothing." By the way, boss, now the newspapers and the Internet are full of news of your sister-in-law's pregnancy, what are you going to do?"

When Chen Feng heard this, he glanced at the red leaves next to him who was still watching "Slam Dunk" with relish, and saw that she didn't seem to hear what Wei Wei said on the phone. Only then was relieved, but he immediately jumped out of bed, came to the bathroom, and said angrily: "Your sister-in-law doesn't know about this matter yet, I can warn you, you can't reveal this matter to her, and other classmates, don't give us anything to do, especially call your sister-in-law, you know?"

Cheng Wei hurriedly agreed: "Okay, okay, boss, don't worry, I naturally know in my heart, how can I sue my sister-in-law about this matter." Also, don't you worry too much about my sister-in-law's mobile phone? I'll talk to the people in my class. ”

"That's good, I won't let go of these media who report indiscriminately. Especially the Apple Daily in Hong Kong, I definitely want to make them look good. ”

"The boss is powerful, but it's not trivial. Boss, I'll just wait and see, these guys who chew the root of their tongues are unlucky. Cheng Wei said happily.

"Okay, if it's okay, I'll hang up. Chen Feng said very politely.

"Alright then, boss, you're busy. ”

As soon as Cheng Wei's phone hung up, the ringtone of the mobile phone rang again, and when he saw that the number was actually his grandfather's, Chen Feng couldn't help but be stunned and answered immediately.

"Xiao Feng, I heard Xiao Xue say that now the media are reporting on Hongye's pregnancy, what the hell is going on?Is Hongye really pregnant?" Wang Zhaoxiang asked his own question bluntly as soon as he opened his mouth. This is his attitude towards Chen Feng.

Although Chen Feng was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but have a fever on his face when Grandpa * suddenly asked this question, and he snorted: "Yes...... Yes. ”

"Ho, Xiaofeng, why are you so careless? How old are you this year, and you're still in school, and you actually killed someone. So what the media reports are telling is true, are you planning to give birth to the child?"

Hearing Grandpa's words, Chen Feng was speechless for a while, and said for a long time: "Grandpa, the child is innocent, not to mention that we are now registered in Hong Kong, Hongye has turned sixteen years old this year, and there is no problem in giving birth to a child openly." ”

When Wang Zhaoxiang heard this, he couldn't help but be angry, and said with a smile: " Xiao Feng, you are not an ordinary person now, in addition to representing yourself, you also represent an image of our country in a certain way, don't forget, you have been the image ambassador of Beijing's Olympic bid, your current personal reputation is not just your personal, like you got married as a high school student, I didn't say anything about you, after all, you and Hongye have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and the two are happy, and Hong Kong's laws do not prohibit you from getting married, and you are still a secret wedding, but you have children at such a young age, this negativity is too great, to say big, you are discrediting our country, to be small, you are teaching bad teenagers who worship you, especially in our country, if something like this happens to you now, it will definitely be erected as a negative example by many children's parents. ”

Chen Feng then remembered that in addition to being a big star, he was also a national treasure, and he also represented the image of the country on a certain Cheng dù, and there was such negative news about being a father when he was a minor, which really discredited the country. I can't help but have a headache at the moment.

"Grandpa, I know it's my fault this time, but this matter is not something I can control, after all, the child is innocent, not to mention that we have the ability to give birth to him and raise him as an adult, of course we won't want him. Grandpa, when my son is born, you will be promoted to great-grandfather, and you should be happy. ”

"You stinky boy, grandpa is very angry now, you are self-destructive. Wang Zhaoxiang's mood was naturally mixed, and he said with some hatred, "Xiao Feng, you just like to toss, it's good now, you actually tossed out your son, grandpa really doesn't know how to say you're good." ”

"Grandpa, in fact, this matter is not a big deal, Hongye and I are registered in Hong Kong in a serious way, since we are married, what do we want to have a child, this is the basic right of human beings, those media talk about it is really hateful. In particular, Apple Daily, which went to the hospital in Hong Kong to steal the red leaf pregnancy test form, I plan to ask a lawyer to sue them tomorrow and make them apologize, and even pay me for the loss of reputation and mental damage. ”

"Well, the name of this Hong Kong newspaper, grandpa also knows, this time, they did too badly. Grandpa supports your actions, and if necessary, he will have someone come forward to cook for you. ”

When Chen Feng heard Grandpa's words, of course he was very excited, and hurriedly said: "Grandpa, don't worry, kill chickens with a knife, you will depend on my methods in this matter, I will definitely collapse this "Apple Daily" this time." ”

Chen Feng was really a little ruthless this time, and he made up his mind that he would not do anything, since he wanted to sue them, then simply eat it whole and let this "Apple Daily" change its owner.

"Well, since this has happened, let's try to remedy it, although it's a little late now, but it's better to do it than not to do it well. The domestic media, grandpa will say hello. Abroad, you have to figure it out yourself. Also, Hongye is pregnant, why do you keep hiding it from your grandfather, and your parents too, and you don't even tell grandpa, alas!"

Hearing Grandpa God's words, Chen Feng was a little upset, he didn't tell him, in addition to the fact that this matter was not easy to publicize, to be honest, he didn't really regard their Wang family as his own relatives in his heart. But with such thoughts in his heart, of course Chen Feng has to explain.

"Grandpa, I won't let my parents sue you. Momiji and I are ashamed to talk about it. I'm afraid to sue you, and you'll be angry with us, or even ...... We may even be asked to kill the child...... So ......"

"Xiao Feng, is grandpa such a domineering and unreasonable person?" Wang Zhaoxiang sighed lightly, "Forget it, grandpa knows what you think...... Grandpa has other things...... That's all for now. ”

Hearing the beep sound after hanging up the phone on the mobile phone, Chen Feng felt very guilty in his heart, feeling that his godfather had such a relationship with him, and he actually regarded him as an outsider, it was indeed a bit too much, and he could only try to make up for it in the future.

Soon after Chen Feng walked out of the bathroom with some dissatisfaction, the ringtone of his mobile phone rang again, it seemed that those who had friends with him had come to ask about the red leaves tonight.

Sure enough, Zhang Chaoyang, who came to call, asked about Hongye's pregnancy, and now on the Internet, all major portals still maintain a tacit understanding of not reporting this news, but those small websites and major forums are discussing this matter, and it has long been known to the world.

Afterwards, it was Ding Lei, Ma Huateng, and Wang Yanbin...... Even Ma Yun came to inquire by phone, Chen Feng naturally believes in the character of these leading figures in the domestic Internet industry, not to mention that now this matter is known to the world, and there is no need to deliberately conceal it, and he admitted this matter to them very calmly, in exchange for a lot of blessings from these people. Although these people know Chen Feng's actual age, they are basically regarded as Chen Feng's peers, and they can see the things of his father so early, not to mention, the eyes of these social elites are naturally different from ordinary people, and the level of looking at things is also very different, Chen Feng's matter of being a father when he is a minor, in their opinion, this is completely Chen Feng's personal private matter, and the attention of the outside world is actually an infringement of his own privacy.

Until he turned off his phone at half past ten that night, he couldn't remember how many calls he answered, and he almost never stopped answering the phone since he first started answering the phone.

I knew that after turning off my phone at half past ten and lying down to sleep with Momiji, I was completely cleaned.

The next day, I got up in the morning to exercise, had breakfast with my wife, and then walked around my house for half an hour, returned to the room to rest, and then started to play music, gave prenatal education to the fetus, and then read English novels to the baby in the belly...... It was almost nine o'clock before Chen Feng had time to turn on his phone again, and then immediately received several text message notifications of missed calls.

Chen Feng found out the missed phone of his agent Chen Keying, and went to the bathroom to make a call.

The phone was quickly connected, and Chen Keying didn't talk nonsense, and reported directly: "Boss, "Apple Daily" published a double photo of you and your wife on the front page today, as if you were secretly photographed by the paparazzi when you were in Hong Kong, with the title "The soon-to-be father Long and her fiancée". ”

Chen Feng had expected it in his heart, but when he heard the news, he couldn't help but be angry, and said loudly: "Okay, since they don't listen to the advice, then I won't be polite to him anymore, I will immediately notify my lawyer Mai Xiangdong, and ask him to immediately send a lawyer's letter to Apple Daily to sue it as soon as possible, and your next task is to assist lawyer Mai Xiangdong and assist him in suing various media in the world that violate my privacy and personality rights." ”

While Chen Keying was secretly relieved when she heard this, she couldn't help but smack her tongue secretly, it seems that the boss is really angry, and the consequences are very strict.

"Okay, I'll go to Mak Xiangdong's law firm right away and help him sue these unscrupulous newspaper outlets. Chen Keying agreed very happily.

"Well, then I'll trouble you, after this matter is settled, I'll send you a red envelope. Chen Feng said in a softened tone.

"Boss, as your agent, it is to solve problems for you, whether it is at work or in life, this is what I should do. Of course, if you insist on giving me a red envelope, I will be disrespectful. ”

Chen Keying's witty words made Chen Feng smile: "Okay, I won't give you less of your red envelopes." You go get busy. I immediately called Mr. Mak. ”

hung up Chen Keying's phone, Chen Feng immediately found Mai Xiangdong's phone and called it.

After connecting, Chen Feng said directly: "Lawyer Mai, this time I plan to sue those media that infringe on my privacy and personality rights, especially the "Apple Daily" that stole my wife's red leaf information from the hospital by improper means The paparazzi's bribes leaked my wife's information. I'll leave this matter to you. ”

"Chen Feng, I only found out about this matter last night, and I want to talk to you, but your phone has been busy, and it's the same now. This matter, "Apple Daily" has gone too far, and actually reported this matter on the front page for two consecutive days, although the headline and the content of the report are polite to you, but this is undoubtedly a big violation of your privacy. Personality rights and reputation rights, the negative impact on you, a public figure, I am eighty percent sure that we can win this lawsuit, we can give an astronomical amount of specific compensation, since you just said that you want to sue them until they go bankrupt, I think this compensation can be set at one billion US dollars, this standard is one-tenth of your current worth of 10 billion, completely reasonable, to say an aside, I myself also hate "Apple Daily" very much As for Queen Mary Hospital, the odds are almost 100%, and they are the initiators of this incident, if they don't have internal problems and keep the patient's information strictly confidential, there will be no such thing, we can set the compensation at 100 million US dollars, so that Queen Mary Hospital can learn enough lessons, what do you think?"

Yesterday Yang Tianming said that it was 100 million Hong Kong dollars in compensation, and Chen Feng was asking for 100 million US dollars, I thought he was black enough, but he didn't expect that there was a mountain high, and Barrister Mai was a billion dollars as soon as he opened his mouth, and he said "Apple Daily" can't pay compensation, even the parent company behind it, Hong Kong Next Media Group, must be difficult to come up with, unless their group is sold out, and Chen Feng also hopes so.

"I have no opinion, you can do it, I have sent my agent, Miss Chen Keying, to assist you, the purpose is to make these media who deliberately report my privacy pay their price. ”

"Okay, I'll do my best, you wait for my good news. ”

The two have known each other for many years, and Mai Xiangdong doesn't have too many politeness, so after chatting about the matter, he hurriedly hung up the phone and began to prepare for the case that Chen Feng confessed.

Apple Daily is a Chinese traditional Chinese newspaper in Hong Kong, owned by Hong Kong-based Next Digital Group and founded by Next Digital boss Jimmy Lai. On June 20, 1995, Apple Daily was launched in Hong Kong, and the biggest feature of its establishment was that it focused on pictures and catch-up topics, and adopted full-color printing that was not available in Hong Kong newspapers at that time, and rarely published full-page advertisements on the front page. It has a print run similar to that of the New York Times on the weekend. At present, it is an influential major newspaper in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

The name of the newspaper was conceived by Jimmy Lai, who said: "If Adam and Eve had not bitten the apple, there would have been no good and evil in the world, and there would have been no news." Hence the name of the newspaper Apple Daily.

Speaking of this Jimmy Lai, he is quite a legendary figure. He has gone from the fashion industry to the media industry and even involved in politics, and his stance on the politics of the media kingdom permeates his personal color.

He was smuggled to Hong Kong at the age of 12 to work as a child labourer. At first, he had no intention of studying, but later he was inspired to study hard, and once worked as a sales manager, making a lot of money in investing in stocks. Later, he founded Giordano fashion store in Hong Kong, Next Magazine in 1990 and Apple Daily in 1995. In recent years, he has sold his stake in Giordano Fashion. Because its publications, Next Magazine and Apple Daily, are often critical of the Chinese Communist regime and the Hong Kong SAR government, Lai has long been regarded by the PRC government as one of the figures influencing Hong Kong's stability. Next Magazine and Apple Daily, founded by Jimmy Lai, are still listed as contraband in Chinese mainland; if they are found by mainland customs officers when they are brought into the mainland, they will be picked up and confiscated, and the bearer will be questioned and even have to sign a letter of repentance before leaving.

Next Digital, the parent company of Apple Daily, can almost be said to be synonymous with "gossip" and "paparazzi". It has a large number of newspapers and magazines such as "Apple Daily", the notorious "Next Weekly", "One Convenience", "FACE Weekly", "Suddenly 1 Week", and "Diet Men and Women".

Next Digital Group leans towards the pan-democratic camp in Hong Kong, and its publications are known for their bold outstatements, and in terms of political and economic stance, Next Digital Group adheres to libertarianism as its leading ideology, and regards "small government, big market" as the guideline. He has always believed that the free market is the only way to make China rich and strong. Taking Hong Kong's "Next Magazine" as an example, the editorial, "One View," written by Yang Huaikang, president of the magazine, has always commented on political and economic events from the perspective of the "free market." As for the columns, the above ideas are also promoted by Yang in the form of Undirected Style, Zhang Wuchang's South Window Collection, and Jimmy Lai's Facts and Prejudices. The government often makes severe criticisms, and it is also one of the few Hong Kong media that dares to criticize Cheung Kong and other large enterprises, and has exposed many scandals such as Cheng Jienan and Huang Hesheng, which have caused controversy in Hong Kong, but their reporting methods have caused controversy many times. At present, it is banned in Chinese mainland, and it is difficult for journalists to attend official occasions in the mainland.

Next Magazine is known for its extreme and exaggerated reporting techniques. Hong Kong's current affairs fascicle focuses on the government's failures, especially when Tung Chee-hwa was the chief executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. The front page of the entertainment fascicle is often secretly taken by the paparazzi, and the content is mostly gossip and rumors. This has aroused the dissatisfaction of some people in the society, and being sued in court can be described as a commonplace thing for Next Magazine. According to statistics, as of October 2001, Hong Kong's Next Magazine had been found guilty of violating the law 12 times and fined between HK$5,000 and HK$14,000.

Since Apple Daily is a branch of Next Digital, it has a very strong Next Media style, that is, it is a picture-based, text-based reporting method, and often uses large-format pictures/photos on the front page to attract readers;

What the outside world doesn't know is that before the "Apple Daily" published the news of Long's fiancée Momiji's pregnancy, after some internal debate, the number of people who opposed and supported it almost wanted to be, but in the end, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper couldn't resist the temptation of exposing big news and big sales, and finally decided to print and distribute it, and was ready to respond to the lawsuit. However, after the publication of Long's exclusive gossip news on the same day, it caused a sensation in the world, but Long only asked the agent to call and give a euphemistic warning, which made the "Apple Daily" naturally let go of half of its heart, plus the sales have been rising, especially this exclusive news, which has been widely reprinted in countries around the world, and it is the "Apple Daily" The temptation to expand its influence directly from Hong Kong and Taiwan to the rest of the world was so great that when the newspaper decided to make the front page headline the next day, there was much less internal opposition.

But they clearly underestimated Chen Feng's anger and overestimated their ability to deal with various legal proceedings. In the afternoon of the same day, Mak Xiangdong's law firm directly sent them a lawyer's letter, formally suing them for the newspaper's illegal and unethical acts of infringing on Long's personal privacy, personality rights and reputation rights.

Mak Xiangdong's name is thunderous in all walks of life in Hong Kong, Long actually only "warned" once, and the second time he directly invited the Buddha to sue them, which really caught them off guard, and immediately followed the service of Mak Xiangdong's lawyer's letter, the court summons also followed, and he actually had to go to court the next day to be interrogated. This caught Apple Daily off guard.

In the afternoon, in addition to the major newspapers and magazines of Next Digital, the rest of the newspapers, magazines and television stations all reported on Long's formal lawsuit against Apple Daily and Queen Mary Hospital, especially when it was later revealed that Long claimed one billion US dollars in damages from Apple Daily, which caused a sensation around the world.

That evening, Jimmy Lai, the boss of Next Digital, urgently convened an internal meeting to discuss strategies for dealing with this particular lawsuit. But it is clear that this internal meeting, which lasted for more than three hours, did not discuss any very good ways to deal with it.

The next day, under the high echelons of the High Court of Hong Kong, there were media reporters and onlookers from all over the world, at least more than 2,000 long fans were present, and the first to come was naturally the lawyer team headed by Barrister Mak Xiangdong, who refused the media interview with a stern face, and walked into the courtroom with the help of assistants and policemen

Five minutes before the trial, as Apple Daily The respondent also arrived with their team of lawyers, but it seemed that they were very wolf and funny, because in front of the gate of the court, they were besieged by excited long fans, and many people fell some tomatoes and eggs, so that everyone in the court couldn't help laughing out loud, and many people couldn't help laughing out loud, which made the solemn atmosphere in the original court disappear, which made the judge who had just come to court very annoyed, and vigorously looked at the gavel and shouted quietly, and then opened his mouth to delay the trial for ten minutes, so that the people on the responding side could tidy up their appearance。

After the court finally opened, Mak Xiangdong, as the lawyer for the litigant, took out the two issues of Apple Daily as evidence to accuse Apple Daily of this immoral behavior, starting with the ugly history of Apple Daily, and then talking about their unauthorized use of improper and illegal means to obtain his entrustment** The treatment of the child and the disclosure of his personal privacy greatly violated the privacy and personality rights of the client and his wife, had a great negative impact on the reputation of both of them, and greatly damaged their mental health. Therefore, entrusted by the client, he filed a one-time claim of US$200 million for moral damages and US$800 million for reputational damages from Apple Daily, requesting the court to ruling.

The respondent "Apple Daily" naturally could not accept the lawsuit's demand for such a large amount of compensation, and the defense lawyer also spit on the defense, believing that "Apple Daily" exposed Chen Feng's fiancée Hongye's pregnancy, although it was immoral in itself, but it was not illegal, and "Apple Daily" could make a formal and sincere apology for this matter, so they immediately dismissed the reporter and were willing to pay a one-time condolence payment of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars to Long and his fiancée.

One billion US dollars VS 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, the economic gap between the two is too big to negotiate, and the lawyers on both sides are arguing again......

Naturally, such a huge compensation claim cannot be decided in court, so it can only be retried at a later date, so that the result is within the scope of consideration of the lawyers of both sides, and they are ready to fight a protracted battle.

The other lawsuit against Queen Mary Hospital was much more insipid, and Queen Mary Hospital expressed a sincere apology to Long and Momiji in court, and said that they accepted the court's ruling, but for the huge claim of 100 million US dollars, the hospital really could not afford it, and they were only willing to bear 1 million Hong Kong dollars in compensation. However, although Queen Mary Hospital is sincere, his compensation of one million Hong Kong dollars is obviously too different from that of 100 million US dollars, and the two sides naturally cannot negotiate.

After the news of the lawsuit in Hong Kong came out, it naturally attracted the attention of the world's people again, and the major media naturally vigorously criticized the improper reporting practices of "Apple Daily" in the same way, although many of these media have followed the trend to report on this matter before.

After Long filed a huge lawsuit against Apple Daily in Hong Kong, other major media outlets naturally immediately changed direction.

In China, whether on the Internet or in traditional media, there is no coverage of this matter, including the huge lawsuit of Long.

This naturally made Chen Feng completely relieved, because even if Hongye is watching TV or surfing the Internet now, he can't know about this Hong Kong lawsuit, and he doesn't know the news of his pregnancy, which is already known to the world.

Before the lawsuit, Chen Feng notified Howard, the current vice president of Huateng International Holding Investment Group, by phone, and asked him to take advantage of the good opportunity of the decline in the stock price of Next Media Group after the news of the lawsuit came out, and then use various means to achieve the purpose of acquisition.

Waiting for Chen Feng's order from the big boss behind the scenes, Howard naturally did not dare to slack off, and made careful preparations that day, and when the news came out, Next Digital's stock price began to fall, he vigorously ate it, and then after the first court session the next day, he sold a lot of it, making the stock price of Next Digital, which had just stabilized the downward trend, fall again, and after its big fall, Howard ate it vigorously, and in the next few days, so repeatedly tossed, Next Digital's stock price almost fell to the bottom. When the court finally ruled that "Apple Group" would pay a one-time compensation of 500,000 Hong Kong dollars for the mental damage of Long and Hongye and 6 million Hong Kong dollars for the loss of reputation, the share price of Next Media almost fell below the issue price.
