Chapter 509
Qin Shaoyan’s original intention was not to imprison Chen Yuanzong in the bureau, but now that things have come to this point, it is also a good thing to let him squat in the detention center of the Immigration Bureau to wake up all night.
The next day, Edward took Chen Yuanzong out with his lawyer.
Chen Yuanzong looked haggard. After walking out of the iron gate, he hugged Edward and almost cried.
He was frightened inside and didn't dare to sleep all night.
Edward patted Chen Yuanzong on the shoulder and comforted him: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I came to catch you after receiving a call from Mr. Qin. There was a problem with the procedures at the Immigration Bureau, so you were locked up all night."
Chen Yuanzong said gratefully: "Thank you."
"If you hadn't come to save me, I wouldn't know how long I would be imprisoned."
Edward shrugged, "The Immigration Bureau said it was a misunderstanding. Should I sue them and ask them to apologize?"
"No, no, no, no, no, no," Chen Yuanzong shook his head quickly, "If the people don't fight with the officials, let's forget it."
He didn't want to cause trouble anymore, and it was very troublesome to sue, especially in the United States, where he did not have the time and energy, and he was not Qin Shaoyan.
If someone is suing, he will definitely win, and he will not have the ability.
According to domestic customs, Edward found a Chinatown restaurant to put wine to Chen Yuanzong and then sent him back to the hotel and left.
Chen Yuanzong thought about it all and felt that he really shouldn't come to the United States.
After a sleepless sleep, Chen Yuanzong called all his subordinates over and began to ask what had happened in the past few days when he was away.
In order to make Chen Yuanzong feel relieved, Fang Ziwei said, "Boss, we have lived a good life here, and Facebook has arranged it very thoughtfully."
"Every day, I arranged to pick up the car and took it to Facebook headquarters, and I specially set up an office for us. I ate three meals every day. I was afraid that we wouldn't get used to it, so I specially invited a Chinese restaurant chef for us."
"We will also take us to shopping malls and tourist attractions on Saturdays and Sundays, and we have a fulfilling life every day."
Other employees nodded and kept praising Facebook's thoughtful benefits.
Chen Yuanzong nodded when he heard this, "I feel relieved that you are used to staying here. I was originally in a strange place abroad, so I was afraid that you would not adapt to it and that there was something that would not adapt to the local environment."
After sending the other employees away, Chen Yuanzong left Fang Ziwei alone and pondered for a moment and asked, "Have Facebook done any strange things recently?"
Fang Ziwei was stunned for a moment and didn't understand what the boss meant, "Mr. Chen, what are you referring to?"
"Is Facebook asking you any extra requirements?" Chen Yuanzong said carefully, "Is there any special administrator authority to operate such as what tricks do in the program? Can you change the order of cards in the background?"
"No, no." Fang Ziwei shook his head, "The demands they raised are normal."
"For example, administrators can intervene, pause, and disband the cards, monitor private chats between users in the background, and adjust player data."
Chen Yuanzong nodded, "Have the Facebook website people ever contacted you alone, or chatted with others?"
"No, absolutely not." Fang Ziwei said quickly, "We are all together during working hours. We communicate with each other if we have any questions, and we absolutely do not get along alone."
Chen Yuanzong asked again, "What about private?"
"Privately?" Fang Ziwei was stunned for a moment, "Mr. Chen, we are mostly together in private. The brothers don't know much about English, so it's difficult to communicate with others."
"Yeah." Chen Yuanzong felt relieved and then explained, "We are not familiar with the place. We should think more about cooperating with a large company like Facebook. We cannot be fooled by these foreigners."
Fang Ziwei was a little confused, "No, Americans are very business-oriented."
"What do you know?" Chen Yuanzong snorted coldly, "The foreigner is very cunning."
He felt that Fang Ziwei was a nerd and was stupid in reading, so he stopped saying anything and asked him to go back and rest.
...
The next day, at the Facebook headquarters, Chris Seus, director of the Operations Department, received Chen Yuanzong.
After a few greetings through the translation introduction, Operations Director Chris began to discuss the details of the cooperation with Chen Yuanzong.
Chen Yuanzong didn't say a few words throughout the whole process, but was hearing Chris say that in the end Chris took out a contract and handed it over to Chen Yuanzong.
"This is an operation cooperation agreement. You can leave it to your lawyer for a look. If you think there is no problem, we will sign the contract." Chris said casually, "How long will Mr. Chen give us an answer?"
Chen Yuanzong pondered for a few seconds, "I'll look at the lawyer first."
Chris nodded, "Okay, who is your lawyer? Are you here today?"
"Well, I don't have a lawyer yet," Chen Yuanzong replied.
Chris was stunned when he heard this, "Do you don't have a lawyer?"
"It will be there soon."
Chris looked at Chen Yuanzong with a weird expression, and then said, "Then I suggest you find a lawyer as soon as possible. Time waits for no one. We have more important things to do later."
Chen Yuanzong didn't say anything, just nodded, took the agreement and left.
Liu Yuanrui, present, frowned, "Boss Chen, why didn't you bring a lawyer here?"
"If I had known this, I would have brought my own lawyer."
"It's useless to bring lawyers to the United States, and domestic lawyers do not understand American laws." Chen Yuanzong said confidently, "Don't worry, I have to make arrangements. We have to find a lawyer in the local area."
"Then you look for it quickly." Liu Yuanrui reminded, "Don't save money in this regard. Lawyers in the United States are very important."
"I know, I have asked my fellow villagers to contact me." Chen Yuanzong said casually.
After returning to the hotel, he began to study the agreement, which was two, one in Chinese and one in English.
He can read Chinese, but after all, he graduated from high school and is not an illiterate person.
But after reading it, whether he can understand it is the same thing. He can only find out if there are any obvious loopholes.
How can Facebook leave obvious bugs on the agreement? They are all standard contracts formulated by professionals.
I didn't understand the Chinese ones after reading them, and I didn't recognize the English ones at all.
When I found a translator, the translator was confused and said in a difficult situation that there were many professional legal words in it, and he was not very clear about it. You should ask for a clever one.
After thinking about it, Chen Yuanzong finally made a decision and asked his fellow villagers for help.
Two days later, through the introduction of a cousin from the same clan, a Chinese lawyer was found.
This Chinese lawyer is in his thirties and wearing glasses and a suit. At first glance, it looks very similar.
"Hello, I'm Pitt Huang, you can call me Pitt." The lawyer opened his mouth fluently in English, and shook hands with Chen Yuanzong with a professional smile.
"Do you speak Chinese?" Chen Yuanzong asked.
Pete Huang shook his head, "I understand Chinese, but this is the United States. If you want to speak English in the United States, I am no longer used to speaking Chinese."
"Okay." Chen Yuanzong didn't want to be confused about such details, so he took out the agreement and handed it to the other party. "Mr. Huang helped me see this contract." Before the translator could speak, Pit Huang immediately spoke in English and corrected it in English: "NONO, just call me Pit, don't call me Mr. Huang."
After listening to the translation, Chen Yuanzong was stunned for a moment and thought to himself that you understand Chinese more and more. I thought you didn’t understand.
What do you want to translate Chinese? Isn’t this a waste of time?
Pete Huang picked up the agreement and started to look at it, and he looked very seriously. Chen Yuanzong had to wait patiently.
It was not until half an hour later that Pete Huang put down the contract and pondered for a moment, "On the surface, there was nothing wrong with this agreement."
"Then can this contract be signed?" Chen Yuanzong asked tentatively.
"No, on the contrary, this contract cannot be signed." Peter Huang shook the agreement in his hand. "This agreement is full of unequal and overbearing terms. As a partner, many of your rights and interests cannot be protected."
"You should propose to amend the contract with the other party and add more clauses that are beneficial to you."
Chen Yuanzong frowned and hesitated for a moment, "This...is not easy to deal with."
"NONO, this kind of thing reflects the ability of a professional lawyer." Peter Huang raised his head proudly, "You should be glad that you hired me and I am professional in fighting for rights and interests for the client."
"I'll go talk to the other party tomorrow, you don't have to worry about the rest."
"Don't I need to interfere?" Chen Yuanzong was a little unbelievable, "You can do it yourself."
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"I'm a professional lawyer." Pete Huang said confidently, "You just need to prepare the check."
"How much do you want?" Chen Yuanzong asked.
"One thousand dollars." Pete Huang raised a finger.
"Oh, it's so cheap." Chen Yuanzong breathed a sigh of relief, took out a thousand dollars from his bag and handed it to the other party.
When Pitt Huang saw that it was cash, his eyes lit up, but after taking the money, he added, "This thousand dollars is just the charge for your consultation this time. Please prepare another 100,000 US dollars."
"What?" Chen Yuanzong almost jumped up in shock, "I will be charged a thousand US dollars in less than an hour?"
"I'm the price, no discount." Pete Huang said proudly, "It is charged for one hour if it is less than an hour."
Chen Yuanzong almost cursed, and finally he said patiently: "100,000 US dollars is too expensive. Can it be cheaper?"
"My charging standard is very flexible. If you think the fixed charge is unreasonable, you can change it to an hourly billing." Pete Huang said with a smile, "Just pay a part of my bonus later."
Chen Yuanzong frowned, "Then come on the charges at the hourly rate."
"Then let's sign a contract first." Pete Huang took out an agreement.
Chen Yuanzong was stunned, "This..."
"Don't worry, this is a standard contract of a law firm, absolutely fair and just." Pitt Huang said gently, "If you think it is inappropriate, you can stop the commission at any time."
Chen Yuanzong hesitated again with the entrustment contract. He came to the United States and dealt with the contract without doing anything.
You can find a lawyer to see the contract on Facebook, so you can’t find another lawyer to see the contract on your lawyer, right?
What if the newly hired lawyer asks him to sign a contract again?
Seeing that he was hesitant, Peter Huang finally said something Chen Yuanzong could understand.
Pete Huang said in Chinese: "We are all fellow villagers, and I won't harm you."
Hearing this, Chen Yuanzong picked up a pen and signed the entrustment contract.
...
Facebook headquarters.
In the conference room, Pete Huang was the first to speak out, took out an agreement and began to say: "My client thinks that this cooperation agreement on Facebook is very unfair. There are too many overbearing terms. We require the agreement to be modified."
"Article 2, Paragraph 4, Paragraph 3, Paragraph 5, Paragraph 6, Paragraph 1..."
Pete Huang Yangyang listed more than a dozen revisions, which made everyone on Facebook confused.
They have gone to many companies to cooperate with, and it is the first time they have seen such an arrogant Party B.
Listen to their request, is this human word?
What other party has the right to suspend the entrustment at any time, require the backend operation data at any time, require monthly payments, and require a royalty amount?
If you don’t know, you think Facebook is working for you?
Chris, the director of Facebook, was angry and laughed. He said directly: "Our contracts are standard contracts and will never be modified. If you think it is unreasonable, you can refuse to cooperate."
Pete Huang was very straightforward, "Then let's talk about it after you modify the content of the agreement."
As he said that, he threw down his business card and left. Chen Yuanzong was stunned for a while and hurriedly followed him.
After two communications failed, the cooperation between the two sides was put on hold.
Facebook directly notified Qin Shaoyan and did not dare to complain to the boss. He could only say tactfully that Chen Yuanzong's lawyer seemed to have a mental state problem and suggested a change of lawyer.
Qin Shaoyan was confused, so he called Liu Yuanrui and scolded him directly: "What plane is Chen Yuanzong doing? Didn't I ask you to look at him? Why is another lawyer coming?"
Liu Yuanrui was also in a daze at this time, and he didn't know why things had developed like this.
Isn’t it just to find a lawyer? How can the negotiations be stalemate?
"Chen Yuanzong found a lawyer through his fellow villager named Pit Huang, who said he was very professional." Liu Yuanrui said helplessly, "He insisted on saying that there was a problem with the agreement and he had to change it before signing it. We didn't understand, so we could only leave it to him to handle it."
"Peter Huang? Why doesn't he sound like a foreigner?" Qin Shaoyan frowned, "Where is his person?"
"I am a Chinese. I heard that I have immigrated from China more than ten years ago. I speak very authentic English."
"Did you get water in your head?" Qin Shaoyan was almost angrily laughing, "How can you find such a lawyer?"
Gao Hua, plus the lawyer, the BUFF is almost full.
"The charge is not cheap, one thousand dollars per hour, it looks quite professional."
Qin Shaoyan didn't say anything, and after a moment, he said, "You tell Chen Yuanzong that if he wants to cooperate, he should sign the agreement as soon as possible. If he doesn't want to cooperate, get out of here! I'll work with someone else."
"I'll give him a day to think about it."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Shaoyan found Zhang Pingyi, "You have to go there on Facebook."
Zhang Pingyi was a little surprised, "What's wrong again?"
"That Chen Yuanzong found Gao Hua as his lawyer and refused to sign the agreement." Qin Shaoyan sneered, "I originally just wanted to teach him a lesson. Since he did this, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"What are you going to do?" Zhang Pingyi asked.
"You bring Niu Jie with you and choose two more capable programmers." Qin Shaoyan pondered for a moment, "Tell Facebook directly that if Chen Yuanzong refuses to cooperate, then we will change to another chess and card team."
Zhang Pingyi frowned, "You really plan to kick Chen Yuanzong out like this?"
"He is out, who will take the blame?" Qin Shaoyan smiled faintly, "It's just a joke."
