Chapter 147 The storm sweeping the entire industry!
Quanjing Law Firm.
"Manager Cao, you also know that as the defense lawyer of Jiang Bai'anzi, I have basically never successfully reduced my sentence for my client."
"I'm curious, why do you still want to believe me and entrust this case to me?"
After listening to Cao Jie's story, Zhang Wei couldn't help asking.
Cao Jie said with a smile: "Lawyer Zhang, I have carefully studied Jiang Bai's case as the plaintiff. Although the defendants were eventually sentenced to severe sentences and even received a sentence that exceeded the litigation request, I know that this is not your responsibility.
.”
"Lawyer Zhang's defense thinking is clear, and his performance in court is remarkable. Those defendants ended up like this because they were all committed suicide and had nothing to do with you."
"I can definitely trust Lawyer Zhang's ability, so please be sure to take on this."
"Okay!" Zhang Wei pointed, "Since Manager Cao trusts me so much, I will do my best!"
Cao Jie slicked his hands and smiled: "That's great! Lawyer Zhang, what I'm waiting for is your words."
After saying that, he looked like he wanted to speak but stopped.
Zhang Wei's eyes were so vicious that he naturally saw it, so he said, "Manager Cao may say something directly."
"Since Lawyer Zhang is quick to speak, I won't hide it." Cao Jie slapped his thigh and said, "I have no other requirements for this slap. I just hope that I can stop here and not affect more.
people."
Ma Jiankui and Qi Tian are just "trial employees" of the 4S store. They are alive and alive, and the 4S store doesn't care at all.
Cao Jie didn't care either.
The reason why he was so nervous was that he specially hired famous and prestigious lawyers for Ma Jiankui and his disciples, because he was completely worried that the fire would burn out from them and the 4S store.
"I understand what you mean, please rest assured."
Zhang Wei nodded slowly.
He is a lawyer. He asks what should be asked, and will not talk too much about what should be asked. He will try his best to do what should be done, and will not do anything too much.
What other problems exist within the 4S store? It is the responsibility of the judicial organ or the market supervision department, and it has nothing to do with him as a lawyer.
His duty is to fight for his own parties and serve his client, that's all.
Therefore, Zhang Wei is completely unfair to Cao Jie's request.
After signing the contract, Zhang Wei no longer delayed and immediately set off to the detention center to meet his party.
...
"Hello, Mr. Ma, I am the lawyer hired by Manager Cao Jie for you. My name is Zhang Wei."
Half an hour later, Zhang Wei, as the defense lawyer, met Ma Jiankui in the detention center.
"I knew the manager would not abandon me. I have been in the 4S store for so many years, and I have worked hard without credit! Lawyer Zhang, you must help me and save me!"
Ma Jiankui's eyes lit up, and an excited expression suddenly appeared on his face.
"Mr. Ma, don't worry. Since Manager Cao Jie chose me, you should believe in my ability."
Zhang Wei calmed Ma Jiankui's emotions and said, "I will defend you with all my might and reduce your punishment, and all you have to do is to cooperate with you."
"I know, I know, I will definitely cooperate with you with all my strength." Ma Jiankui nodded quickly, looked at Zhang Wei with a gaze and asked, "Lawyer Zhang, that, I want to know, how many years of prison will be needed in my case?"
After interrogation, Ma Jiankui no longer had hope of being spared from prison.
He just wants to know how many years he will be sentenced to.
Zhang Wei said calmly: "You are now suspected of two crimes. One of them is the crime of intentional destruction of property, which meets the standard of huge amounts, for more than three years and less than seven years."
"The second is insurance fraud. If an individual commits insurance fraud, the amount of more than 10,000 yuan will be filed, and the case will be filed for less than five years."
"When two crimes are punished together..."
"etc!"
Before Zhang Wei finished speaking, Ma Jiankui raised his hand and asked carefully: "Lawyer Zhang, that... that means, is it less than five years to cheat insurance of more than 100,000 yuan?"
Zhang Wei took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice: "What do you mean is the amount of insurance fraud of more than 100,000?"
"……Um……"
Ma Jiankui nodded slowly and said hoarsely: "This order alone is a few thousand yuan, but including those in the past, it should have accumulated more than 100,000 yuan in the past year, but it definitely hasn't reached 200,000 yuan."
Zhang Wei's mouth twitched twice and said slowly: "If an individual commits insurance fraud, the amount is more than 10,000 yuan, which is a large amount; if more than 50,000 yuan, it is a huge amount; if more than 200,000 yuan, it is a particularly huge amount."
"The sentencing standards are less than five years, more than five years and less than ten years, and more than ten years."
Hearing this, Ma Jiankui's face suddenly became extremely ugly: "One has more than three years and less than seven years, and the other has more than five years and less than ten years. Wouldn't that mean that the shortest sentence is...eight years???"
Eight years, I have been scattered!
The war is over.
My child has graduated from college and maybe he is about to get married!
Zhang Wei said: "You don't have to worry about it. The statutory sentencing is dead, but the actual sentencing is alive. I have found many ruling circumstances applicable to you, statutory and discretionary circumstances. As long as you cooperate fully, the final sentence will not be
There will be so many."
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll listen to you all! Lawyer Zhang, I'll do whatever you say!" Ma Jiankui nodded repeatedly.
"Well, then we're on the topic now."
Zhang Wei's face turned right and said, "In the sentencing guidance opinions issued by the Supreme Court, several statutory and discretionary sentence reduction circumstances are stipulated, and several of them are applicable to you. My defense ideas mainly revolve around these
Come on, and what you have to do is to match my ideas.”
"The first is to confess the plot. You must truthfully confess your crime to the police. If there are some crimes that the judicial authorities have not yet grasped but have committed, you must also take the initiative to confess. Don't be lucky and think that they are investigating.
If you don’t confess truthfully and are found out by the police, it will be very unfavorable to you.”
"The second is to actively return the stolen money..."
"The third is voluntary confession and remorse..."
“The fourth is…”
Zhang Wei roughly talked about his defense ideas prepared in advance.
Ma Jiankui's two charges, intentional destruction of property and insurance fraud, have conclusive evidence, and there is no possibility of a reversal. Therefore, if you want to reduce the punishment, you can only start from these aspects.
After saying that, Zhang Wei stared at Ma Jiankui with his eyes and reminded in a deep voice: "The above is the defense idea I prepared. If it is done properly, there is a chance to reduce your sentence to less than five years."
"But besides these, you must keep in mind what I want to say next and never make mistakes, otherwise even the God of Daluo will not be able to save you!"
"Don't scold the judge, don't make a big fuss in the court, don't attack the prison guards, don't commit perjury in court, don't temporarily regret and refuse to plead guilty..."
Zhang Wei emphasized some taboos in court and avoided it.
There was no need to say so much when you were suing in the past. At most, just say "Listen to me" and you'll be done.
But it won't work now.
Others are bitten by snakes once, but they are afraid of the ropes for ten years.
What he was really scared of Zhang Wei being cheated by his teammates.
"In short, follow my instructions and don't make any decisions. You can do whatever I ask you. You can't do what I didn't say!" Zhang Wei was still worried and emphasized again.
"Don't worry, I've never seen a pig run, have you never eaten pork? You are professional, I'll definitely listen to you."
Ma Jiankui agreed very happily.
Then his eyes rolled and asked, "Lawyer Zhang, people say that they are frank, lenient, resistant and strict, are they talking nonsense or have legal basis?"
"This is what I just mentioned in the sentencing guidance. If you confess or surrender yourself, you can indeed get a reduction in sentence." Zhang Wei nodded slowly.
"Oh, then if I have made meritorious performance, can I also reduce my sentence?" Ma Jiankui asked again.
"That's right."
Zhang Wei nodded again.
"That's good. Yesterday I accidentally said I missed it, saying that not only I did this alone, but others did this too."
"Later, the policeman who interrogated me seized this point and insisted that I explain who it was and how it was done. He also said that if my confession was true, it could be considered that I had made a major contribution."
A smile appeared on Ma Jiankui's face and said, "Actually, I didn't say much, mainly a few people in the 4S store maintenance department, oh, and some situations in the sales department."
"I did break the law and committed a crime. I already knew I was wrong. But I didn't want to be in prison for too long, so I can only explain their problems to reduce my punishment."
"Anyway, after I get out of prison, I will go back to my hometown and I won't deal with them anymore."
"My son is very promising, he is third in the class in the final exam, and his age ranks in the top 20..."
Speaking of the child, a smile appeared on Ma Jiankui's face.
Full of pride.
But Zhang Wei, who was sitting opposite him, couldn't help but change his expression.
"Mr. Ma, are you saying... you confessed that many other people's illegal operations?" Zhang Wei couldn't help asking.
"Um."
Ma Jiankui nodded and said, "In the maintenance department, some people will replace parts, and when they maintain the vehicle, they often keep the customers' unused oil products themselves."
"For example, if a customer bought two barrels of transmission oil, the dog-dollar ones only use one and a half barrels at most. The rest are hidden secretly and sold them."
"There are also people from the sales department. Normally, the car needs to be replaced only after driving for 40,000 kilometers or more than two years, but they often recommend antifreeze to Xiaobai, who has just bought a new car for one and a half years."
"Also when customers send their cars for maintenance, they often sell oil products that are far more than the normal amount of use..."
As soon as this talk was opened, I couldn't stop.
The shady tricks and shady things in the 4S store are not understood by outsiders. Even if they think they understand them, they are actually just the tip of the iceberg.
Only real industry insiders know how deep the water in this industry is!
Ma Jiankui was quite angry when he spoke, as if he had brought himself into the perspective of a customer who had been cheated and hacked.
Zhang Wei's face became increasingly ugly.
Still one step late.
Cao Jie means that he hopes that this matter will start with Ma Jiankui and end with him.
Now, the fire has started to burn, and the 4S store is probably not immune to the disaster.
"Lawyer Zhang, are you uncomfortable? I think your face is a little bad." Ma Jiankui looked at Zhang Wei in confusion.
"It's okay." Zhang Wei shook his head and said, "Mr. Ma, you are right. You are indeed considered a meritorious service, and it is a major meritorious service. You should be able to win a great commutation of sentence."
"Come on, tell me in detail, the specific positions and things you have confessed to..."
Now that things have come to this point, Zhang Wei didn't say much.
Since it's too late, just follow the plan.
Anyway, these meritorious performances of Ma Jiankui are indeed very helpful to him.
From this perspective, this is a good thing.
As for Cao Jie and the 4S store...
I can only say that they are asking for blessings.
...
Broadcom Audi 4S store.
Today is much deserted than before.
After all, the news has spread uncontrollably. At least in the circle of Audi owners in Longcheng, most people know that this 4S store has some unknown violations.
Trust is difficult to build, but destroying it only takes a small matter.
The 4S store, which was originally lively every day, suddenly became deserted.
The employees were chatting bored.
The security guard leaned against the post of the guard post, and his hat covered his face and felt drowsy.
Sudden.
“Wow wow wow wow!”
A sharp sirens sounded.
The security guard raised his eyelids and muttered, "What happened again? Is it bad? This time it must be not our store..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw four police cars roaring.
"Crack! Crack!"
The police car stopped in the open space in front of the 4S store.
"Mist grass!"
The security guard was shocked and quickly turned around and ran into the hall.
"...What's going on with the sales department? What about the customers? What about your customers! What about me when I told you at a meeting yesterday? You must maintain your own customers!" Cao Jie was talking with a pale face.
Then I saw the security guard stumble in, and howling: "Manager! Manager! Is it bad for a big deal?"
"What are you calling out? It's like this now. As long as the police are not coming to the door, it's not a big deal!"
Cao Jie scolded with a stern face.
The security guard gasped, "That's the police."
"What?"
As soon as Cao Jie looked up, he saw a team of policemen strode in.
The leader is Lao Lin.
And this time I’ve been there more people!
"Comrade Police, is there anything you have to do?" Cao Jie approached him nervously and asked.
Lao Lin said in a deep voice: "Manager Cao, we have received a report that we suspect that someone in your company is suspected of theft and embezzlement. Now we need to ask several parties to go back and assist in the investigation."
"What, what? So many charges?" Cao Jie's face suddenly changed, "Officer Lin, you must have made a mistake, right? Is there any misunderstanding here?"
"We are a regular company, how could this happen?"
Lao Lin's face was as deep as water and said, "Zhang Rui, Liao Changping, Li Heliang...they replaced auto parts and were suspected of theft!"
"Zhao Mingchun, Jin Yu, He Haibo...False cleaning and maintenance, intercepting excessive amounts of oil, suspected of escaping!"
"Manager Cao, you should be familiar with these names, right?"
Not strange, of course not strange.
Because these people are all employees of the 4S store maintenance department.
As for what they did, Cao Jie knew a little more or less.
There were customers who had made trouble before, but in the end, they only paid three points for one return. If they replaced the parts, they would pay three times the compensation. If they intercepted the oil, they would also pay three times the compensation.
If the customer is not satisfied, he will give him a maintenance package or something.
This has always been the solution.
It is precisely because of the low cost of illegality that many people in 4S stores will "make extra money".
"Well, Officer Lin, isn't this matter under the jurisdiction of the Market Supervision Administration? Why did you all alarm?" Cao Jie asked, "I have never heard of anyone being detained for these matters before."
Lao Lin said: "I just said that their behavior violated the criminal law. This is not an ordinary consumer dispute, but a criminal case!"
"As for the fact that there was no criminal case before, it was because the owner did not report the case, and we don't know."
"Now that someone reports it, we know, so we can't leave it alone."
"Manager Cao, don't you want to cover up them, do you? Let's learn about the crime of covering up?"
Cao Jie waved his hand quickly and said, "No, no, why can I? I will ask someone to call them over immediately."
"Well, I'll send someone to take my colleague to adjust the surveillance."
"Okay, OK."
A few minutes later.
Eight people came to the hall with uneasy expressions.
They are all employees of the 4S store maintenance department.
After Lao Lin verified the identities of these eight people, he took them all back for investigation.
These eight people are all those who were told by Ma Jiankui. The situation was relatively bad. In addition, there were some other people. However, according to Ma Jiankui's confession, their behavior did not meet the criminal case standards, so Lao Lin did not yet
Summon these people.
But that doesn't mean they're fine.
Because among the eight people who were summoned recently, someone might explain something new like Ma Jiankui...
Seeing eight people getting taken away in a police car, the 4S store employees became even more panicked.
Fog grass!
What's going on?
I just took two away yesterday.
Take eight more today!
Too dangerous, this job is simply too dangerous.
Many people on the spot had the idea of resigning.
But before they could really resign, another wave of people came.
This time, people from the Market Supervision Administration said they received a report and suspected that there was any illegal operation in the 4S store. They sent a special person to set up an investigation team to investigate whether the 4S store did violate industrial and commercial administrative management, quality and technical supervision, and price supervision and inspection.
Acts of laws, regulations, rules.
One wave has not yet settled, and another wave has risen again.
Before Cao Jie could recover from the trauma of the previous blow, he was seriously injured.
Although the Market Supervision Administration is not as "violent" as the judicial authorities and has not risen to the criminal level, this department is mainly responsible for comprehensive market supervision and management, and can be regarded as one of the big fathers of all stores, companies, factories, etc.
In the market, there is still a lot of power.
After the staff of the Market Supervision Bureau investigated, they found many problems and gave the penalty results on the spot: fines, criticism, self-examination, and rectification within a time limit!
And this matter is not over here.
Not long after, the top leader of the Market Supervision Bureau made a direct statement and thoroughly investigated all 4S stores and auto repair shops in Longcheng, and conducted an in-depth and thorough investigation.
If there is any problem, no one can be left behind, and all must be dealt with strictly and severely.
For a moment, the wind and cranes were heard and the plants and trees were all soldiers.
This storm quickly swept across the entire Longcheng automobile industry!
That night.
Audi official media issued a notice.
In view of the serious violation of the "Audi After-sales Service Basic Management Standards" and the "Audi Dealer Business Management Guidelines", the dealer was ordered to close business immediately, undergo further investigation, and cancel its star rating.
Punishment.
At the same time, Audi also stated that the company will immediately carry out after-sales service inspections of franchise stores across the country, strengthen supervision of terminal service behaviors, and resolutely prevent such behaviors from occurring, so as to ensure that all service processes and service quality comply with specifications and requirements.
.
This is just the turmoil of the Audi brand.
In the next few days.
4S stores of many car brands such as Volkswagen, Dongfeng Nissan, Mercedes-Benz, Hyundai have been exposed to have some illegal operations and have also been punished as they deserve.
These are regular 4S stores at least, and their behavior is not particularly bad.
Those wild auto repair shops, car maintenance shops, car wash shops, etc. are simply a group of demons dancing around, and the problems found are more serious!
More than thirty people were detained alone.
Those who do not meet the criminal case standards shall be handed over to the Market Supervision Administration for disposal.
Fines, orders to suspend business, and rectification within a time limit...
The serious ones were also several stores whose business licenses were directly revoked and closed on the spot. The boss took his sister-in-law home early to celebrate the New Year.
It is worth mentioning that on the second day of this special rectification activity.
Cao Jie, the manager of Broadcom 4S store, was invited to have tea for embezzlement and bribery.
