No matter how scared you are, you still have to say what you need to say.
"The total amount of the goods involved in this case was 2,899 yuan. The plaintiff cut the amount off when opening the group purchase... The remaining amount accounted for 1 percent. Therefore, the promotion displayed a 1 percent discount and gave it away for free. There was no deception at all."
"The plaintiff then invited friends to bargain, earning 0.01 yuan per click, so the remaining amount was less than 0.1 percent. According to the algorithm, the remaining amount accounted for approximately 0.00 percent. However, due to the limited percentage display on the page, it was only displayed as 0.9 percent. The plaintiff then used various subsequent bargaining activities..."
"Therefore, regarding the plaintiff's claim that we violated their right to know, we believe that this is not the case. The algorithm displays the price of each bargain, but due to a problem with the display program, it cannot be fully displayed and can only display 00.9%. Therefore, we have not committed any infringement."
Old Fan spoke casually, but both Mr. Zhou and Mr. Fang were stunned.
Wait, let me sort this out. So, what was displayed on the screen was that the deal was only 00.9 percent away from completion. But in fact, that wasn't 00.9 percent at all. It was a number with at least six decimal places after it?
Moreover, now, let alone Mr. Fang, even Zhou Yi wanted to stand up and start scolding.
This kind of debate means that we have done all of this, but because of a problem with the display program, it is not displayed, so what you see is like that.
So we are not to blame, we did not commit any fraud, it was all a problem with the display program.
It makes people feel stupid just listening to it.
Yes, logically speaking, there seems to be nothing wrong with it. People are really prepared, but they just can't show it.
But what if we add some highly suggestive words?
Attorney Fang said, "I would like to ask the defendant a few questions."
The judge above agreed.
"The first question is, were Bingxixi and its operating company already aware of this display program issue?"
Old Fan started to feel something was wrong when Mr. Fang said he wanted to ask a few questions.
He had been pinned to the ground and rubbed, so he was more familiar with Mr. Fang's tactics.
But there is no way, there is no way to refuse in this situation.
So he could only vaguely say, "I wasn't quite sure about this before, but I found out later..."
"Before? When? This activity has been going on for several years. I don't think that our company, with its own algorithm, would be unaware of the details."
"Yeah, I'm not quite sure..." That's all Lao Fan could say.
"Okay, he said that as a corporate lawyer, he's handling the case but isn't familiar with the business situation. But that's okay."
"Second question, 0.0009... Sorry, my memory is bad, this number is too long. Such a long decimal point, if you abbreviate it to two or three digits, then I would like to ask, Bing Xixi should be aware of this. This will cause misunderstandings for many consumers, right?"
Lao Fan wanted to say "damn it", but he didn't dare to.
"I think so...but it's not what you said..."
Lao Fan tried hard to defend himself, but it was no use. In court, one must reason, not repeat the same things over and over again.
Fang Dazhuang waved his hand. "Alright, then they knew. And I think, based on the most basic principles, they also knew that this misunderstanding would occur. Otherwise, there's no way to explain why they added so many misleading remarks to the event!"
"Now, based on the defendant's statement, we know that Bingxixi and its operating company, Mengxun, knew about this display program problem a long time ago, and were even more aware that this problem would cause serious misunderstandings among consumers!"
"But this bargain-and-get-free promotion has been going on for such a long time. Bing Xixi and Mengxun are fully aware that this issue will cause great misunderstanding among consumers, yet they haven't provided any relevant explanation, right?"
The latter sentence was asking Lao Fan. What could Lao Fan say? No explanation means no explanation.
Bing Xixi had nothing to do so she came to explain this problem.
But he was feeling very aggrieved now. He felt very unhappy about being led by the other party from the beginning to the end.
I just tried to suppress that emotion because of the other person's identity.
On this side, Mr. Fang didn't care. If there was a literary response, there would be a literary response. If there was a physical response, there would be a physical response. Without a brick, Mr. Fang was not afraid of a one-on-one fight.
"I want to ask, for all this time, not only has there been no explanation, but Bingxixi has also added a lot of misleading language to the campaign, like 'Only 0.9 percent away,' or 'You're the luckiest person today,'" he said. "Can't we say they're taking advantage of consumers' ignorance to achieve certain goals?"
"Like attracting new users? Driving traffic?"
"The defendant has been arguing that the campaign didn't cost our client anything. However, such a large amount of consumer information is itself an inestimable treasure!"
"So, does this behavior violate the principle of good faith in the Civil Code?"
Hearing this, Lao Fan finally couldn't help it.
"What are you saying, Judge? I think the plaintiff's lawyer is using his subjective assumptions to confuse people. We haven't committed any infringement, and we've already successfully negotiated the price of the phone. We didn't cheat..."
In his excitement, his voice was quite loud, but he still kept repeating the same things over and over again.
What that does is show the problem and the idea that they are not deliberately hiding.
