Chapter 1961

The case was not an ordinary case. As soon as several media reported it, the entire Federation soon knew about it.

So far, the mainstream news of the Federation still adopts the method of buying and selling.

To put it simply, there are some agencies in the federal government that specialize in selling press releases to news organizations, and local news media will buy some news for publication when they need it.

For now, the whole world has not yet entered the information age, and due to the constraints of labor costs and other reasons, not every news media has reporters sent to the whole country or even the world.

It is even more impossible for any newspaper to set up a reporter station in every city!

For example, in some small cities with a population of only tens of thousands of 10,000+, all the events that happen throughout the day may be gathered together, which may not be able to make up enough coverage for a newspaper.

Therefore, these newspapers need to purchase press releases from other regions in order to subscribe, for the reading desire of customers, and to let everyone know more about the Federation.

The price of a press release is generally not too expensive, a few dollars, dozens of dollars, hundreds of dollars, except for special news that can cost tens of millions, the price is actually not too high.

Different regions have different selling prices, and several companies in the Federation are doing this business.

It may seem inconspicuous, but it really pays off!
In addition, there are free contributions. For example, the case of the Duke's grandson was directly contributed by the "Pioneer" magazine to the national media.

Although it is a free manuscript, it is newsworthy, has hot topics of discussion, and does not have an overly biased position.

Reports began nationwide soon.

As long as any matter becomes a hot topic, even if there is pressure from the upper echelon, it will be difficult to suppress it.

The federal people are a very special group, and some demonstrations broke out soon, making this case known to everyone.

In the evening, many TV interviews reported relevant content, some talk shows, and some sociologists and celebrities were invited to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of the nobles of Gefla living in the Federation.

In short, the matter was not small, and even the presidential palace was involved.

This also exacerbated the Duke's desire to end the case as soon as possible. He felt that not only himself, but even the noble group had been targeted because of his grandson.

Many media directly magnify the target of attack to the entire noble group, making all nobles very passive.

These people also called the Duke, and there was a sense of dissatisfaction in their words.

The Duke didn't dare to delay any longer, and directly entrusted a lawyer to contact Ms. Landa. Women's rights organizations have a very special status in the Federation.

It may not seem like they have much political influence, but in society, the influence of women's rights organizations is even more terrifying than some political groups.

Just like the "abstinence action" they launched before, many women who responded to the call forbade their intimate partners to have sex with them, causing the whole society to become a little restless.

The girls in this case are also women, and some are children, which double meet the care standards of feminist organizations. In addition, the lawyers reminded the Duke that if Ms. Landa can say some good things, the court will reduce the issue of sentencing.

The two met in Ms. Landa's office. At this time, Ms. Landa's confidence was stronger than before.

With the success of small ball last year and more sponsors this year, she has more money on her hands.

Regardless of whether it is a feminist organization or any other organization, in the final analysis, whoever has the money has the final say.

Ms. Landa has money, so if other people don't want to go hungry, they have to obey Ms. Landa's words.

If everyone listens to her, it means that she has authority. This is a very common truth.

After the Duke sat down, he talked about the donation, which Ms. Landa also welcomed very much.

The donation fee of 200 million can make her reputation in feminist organizations peak. In the future, she is very likely to use the springboard of feminist rights to jump into politics like Ms. Tracy.

She knows that she has a lot of shortcomings compared to Ms. Tracy. She doesn't expect to become the governor right away, but starting from the mayor, there shouldn't be any problem, right?

If it doesn't work, it may not be impossible to work harder on Lynch.

This also allowed Landa to maintain a certain distance and a reserved attitude when facing the Duke.

"Your Excellency the Duke, to be honest, if it wasn't for Mr.... I wouldn't even..." She smiled tactfully, "You know, some things are really not easy to touch."

"If I speak for you from a personal point of view, it is likely to cause criticism, and this is what I don't want to see."

"No matter how much money you donate!"

The Duke looked at Landa with deep eyes, and said softly, "I'll give you another 50."

He could hear what Landa said—

The money was donated to the women's rights organization, and the money was in the public account of the women's rights organization. Although Qian Landa had the power to control the money, it was also subject to supervision.

She couldn't swallow the money by herself. In the end, even if the process was relaxed as much as possible, she would get tens of thousands of 10,000+ at most, and she would be in place.

No matter how much, someone may call the police, and she also needs to be investigated.

For such a small amount of money, taking the huge risk of being targeted by the whole society, to speak for the Duke and his grandson, Landa thought it was not worth it.

She can get this little money from anywhere, there is no need to take risks.

But the Duke's next words changed her expression somewhat.

The temptation of 50 is still quite big.

Just when Landa was still hesitating, the Duke offered again, "100 million, anonymous account."

"I believe that there will not be too many people who can offer this price except me!"

The Duke no longer wanted to guess what Landa was thinking. She hesitated the first time instead of refusing immediately, so give her more money!

100 million!

According to the current wages of ordinary workers in Bu Paine, without eating, drinking or paying taxes, it will take about 200 years to earn this money.

Even with Landa's current salary, without eating, drinking or paying taxes, it would take almost 50 years!
But at this moment, she only needs to nod her head, and the money can enter her pocket!
This made Landa's breathing quicken!

Her head was a little dazed, she had to think about it.

The Duke looked at the woman in front of him, and if she refused again, or wanted more, he would leave.

He has calculated that he will spend about 1000 million on his grandson, which has reached the limit he can bear.

It's not that he can't afford more money, but that he thinks his grandson is worth so much!

If there is more, it is better to let him go to jail, as the lawyer said, as long as he does not die.

Wait for 30 to [-] years, and then find a way to fish it out. At that time, the cost will be much less.

One minute later, Landa nodded with slightly red eyes and agreed, "After the money arrives, I will make a public statement."

The Duke glanced at the phone, "Mind if I use it?"

Landa froze for a moment, then shook her head apologetically, "Sorry, this is an internal call..."

It's not that she doesn't want to use it, she's just afraid of trouble.

The Duke didn't say anything, and then got up, "We need a ceremony for the 200 million donation, and the other 100 million can be given to you now."

As he spoke, he took out a card with a bank account number and a password on it, "There is no certificate, password withdrawal."

When Landa reached out to catch the card, her heart was about to jump out of her mouth. She twitched, but she didn't twitch, and then looked at the Duke.

The Duke looked directly into her eyes, "Good cooperation?"

Landa nodded, "Happy cooperation!"

The Duke let go of his hand, then stood up, "Notify me when you are ready..."

Then leave.

Landa watched him leave, and when the door was slowly closed, she looked at the card in her hand, and a pleasure that she had never experienced before was rapidly attacking her nerves!

Later, she picked up the phone and dialed Lynch's number...

On the other side, several lawyers are doing work for the families of the victims.

They booked a deluxe room at the Bupain Hotel and invited the victim's family.

The victim was not invited because the victim should still be in a state of anger and anxiety.

In such a state, it is very likely that extreme emotions will ruin their negotiations.

On the contrary, the family members of the victims from the bottom of society have a stronger desire for money and are easier to persuade.

The selected location is also carefully selected by the lawyer team.

The ultra-luxury hotel can better bring out the humbleness of the victim's family, which is like the cringe of a farmer boy from the countryside when he enters a big hotel for the first time.

In terms of personality, he is inferior. Even if he is not inferior to others in the legal sense, he will appear submissive and dare not fight back forcefully when he encounters trouble.

That's what the lawyers wanted, and they did.

Families of the victims appeared restrained as they sat on the sofa, when a paralegal posing as a waiter casually pointed out how much the sofa under their butts was worth.

The couple seemed to be sitting on the coals, a little restless!
Not long after, two lawyers arrived here, and they began negotiations with the victims' families.

"There is some traffic on the road, I kept you waiting for a long time." He didn't say a word of apology, but just explained why he was late.

As he thought, the family members of the victim did not express their dissatisfaction with his lateness at all, but instead showed an attitude of understanding him.

This made the corner of the lawyer's mouth slightly raised, "Then let's talk about the case next."

"The party entrusted me to handle it, this power of attorney..."

He showed it, it was a matter of process, it had to be shown.

The husband and wife looked at it casually, then pushed it back, but they couldn't understand it anyway.

The lawyer didn't put it away in a hurry, and just let it be placed on the coffee table, "You probably haven't found a lawyer yet, have you?"

The couple looked at each other, not quite sure what the lawyer meant, the man nodded, "Yes, we were planning to find a lawyer, it happened so suddenly..."

Without giving the man a chance to finish his sentence, the lawyer spoke.

"No wonder you are asking for 1000 million yuan in compensation. You may not understand that your actions have been suspected of extortion!"

"If you had consulted a lawyer, they would not have advised you to do this!"
