Marvel’s Princess Chapter 48: Compensation
The members of the jury and Old Joe in the auditorium applauded together. Lawyers Bella and Hogarth also clapped their hands in a humane and caring manner to express their joy.
Seeing that his two clerks were applauding, the bearded judge who had secretly received a lot of money from Stark Industries also clapped twice with a speechless expression.
The defendant's client's face was full of tears. He grabbed the doctor's hand and tried to delay a little time: "God! Doctor Brandon, thank you for saving me!"
"You're welcome, this is a doctor's duty."
"No! Please let me thank you!" Adrenaline had begun to take effect, and the defendant's client was so excited that he wanted to do somersaults on the spot.
The doctor helped him up and looked at him twice. He seemed to be very satisfied with his first aid skills. Look at this patient, who was so serious before, but now he has rescued him!
He said with pride in his tone: "Let's continue the trial."
You want me to die! The defendant's client had to return to his seat and continue to face Jerry Hogarth's cross-examination.
Complete defeat!
The defendant's client was killed and left without armor, and his lawyer only asked a few irrelevant questions.
The court adjourned for half a day, and at two o'clock in the afternoon, the jury made an informal verdict, finding that Stark Industries and Wexler Steel had breached the contract. The judge also respected the jury's opinion and on this basis, in accordance with The laws of the State of Arizona make the final judgment.
Stark Industries and Wexler Steel must truthfully pay all pensions to retired steel company workers within 90 days.
Bella, Lao Qiao and others have discussed that the previous method of receiving pensions every month was unreliable, and now the acquirer and the steel factory are required to pay in one lump sum.
Assuming that the elderly can live to be 100 years old, subtract their current age from 100, and then multiply it by the actual amount they should receive every year, which is the pension they should receive.
If you live over a hundred years old, it will be considered a loss for the elderly. If the currency depreciates, that is also a risk they need to bear.
The fact is that after working in a steel factory for a lifetime, no one thinks that they can live to be a hundred years old. God has blessed them to live to be ninety, and everyone is happy to get more money.
Even if the currency depreciates, they admit it!
Stark Industries and Steel Factory are definitely not happy. Not everyone’s pension is $45,000 per year. Old Joe’s pension is the largest, but even so, according to their calculations, fifty-nine The total pension of each worker exceeds 50 million.
In addition to the normal acquisition costs, a broken steel factory has to pay US$50 million? No one would be happy to change it.
Bella knew that they were not happy, and it was foreseeable that they would continue to delay while appealing, so the demonstrations did not stop.
The previous bank robbery was a loss no matter what, but at her suggestion, the three old people still donated most of the stolen money in addition to necessary living expenses.
Now that the court has won the case, it is justifiable. Whether it is demonstrating in front of the Stark branch or gaining sympathy from the media, the old people have stood on the highest moral ground.
The elderly themselves are a vulnerable group. This vulnerable group has nothing to do with the skin color of blacks and whites, or the gender of men and women. Everyone will go through this stage. Today it is them, and tomorrow it will be you!
It is worthy of sympathy, and now it is supported by the court's decision. Bella and Natasha gathered many students and spoke on various online media. Stark Industries' competitors are also secretly working hard. Old people The demonstrations received a lot of social attention.
Members of Congress, politicians from all parties, and media reporters are following this topic closely, which is increasingly detrimental to Stark Industries, which is at the center of the whirlpool.
......
"Everyone will grow old. Today it is old Joe and old Willie, and tomorrow it will be us. Maybe Mr. Tony Stark has enough money and he does not need to think about retirement in his later years, but we do! I think Mr. Obadiah Stane, CEO of Stark Industries, also needs it. After all, he is just a part-time worker. Ninety-nine percent of the people in this country need to consider this issue!
I am just an ordinary person. I can only use my meager power to appeal to everyone. Everyone, stand up together. We must say "no" to those capitalists. They cannot devour our pensions at will! ”
Obadei looked at Bella talking in front of the camera and wanted to punch the computer.
I am still working at the age of seventy. I have worked hard for so many years, but haven’t I managed to save my family? I don’t need a pension!
Things developed so quickly that he did not expect that the problem now was no longer Bella and the dozens of old workers in a broken steel factory.
The incident spread across the United States, and many employees and workers employed by Stark Industries expressed their concerns to varying degrees.
This group ranges from the assistants around Obadiah to the aunt in charge of cleaning the group's toilets. Everyone is concerned about this issue. Where is my pension? Will it also be suspended?
The relationship between the two parties is just that of employees, not slaves. If you don’t pay, who will work for you?
The whole group was in turmoil. Obaday held meetings every day to appease his subordinates. He was also a fierce and decisive man. When his subordinates were about to continue the lawsuit with Bella, he stopped it directly.
Take money and get rid of the instigator first.
The 50 million pension is obviously blackmail. Stark Industries cannot open this hole. The amount is too large. Who can live to be 100 years old? Stand up and let me see!
The age limit is set to ninety years old, and then a part of the pension will be paid according to this standard.
......
A week later, the old people received the pension payment from Stark Industries, totaling fifteen million US dollars! Specifically speaking, among the fifty-nine old people, the most could receive three hundred thousand, and the least could receive more than one hundred thousand.
The holes in bank financial products can basically be plugged, the house will not be confiscated, and a large amount of money will be left for future family expenses.
The children, neighbors, and friends of the old people were subjected to pressure from all aspects, including persuasion, threats, and inducements. After they received the money, they politely expressed to Bella that they hoped it would end there.
"Yes, I respect your choice."
Bella and Natasha left Old Joe's home. The old man was very embarrassed and walked them to the door in person. He waited until they drove away and then staggered back to his home.
Natasha was somewhat frustrated and felt that things were not perfect.
Bella is quite satisfied, it's pretty good that things have developed to this extent.
It cannot be said that Tony Stark is a good person. All the people in his Stark Industries are good people.
Now everyone is still abiding by the rules of the game, but if push comes to shove, hiring murderers and kidnappings will definitely happen. Bella is not afraid, but that doesn't mean others are not afraid.
She has received the fame and praise she needs, and the old people have also received similar monetary compensation. This matter can end here.
