Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 651 rhetorical question
The situation changed so quickly that almost no one expected it.

The last time the case was heard, the two young men were still at a disadvantage. Unexpectedly, this time, they launched a fierce attack right from the start. The City Hall was caught by this fatal flaw.

Hamano buried his head in the materials in his hands, flipping through them quickly, thinking rapidly in his mind. This public lawyer did not expect that the city hall would make such a low-level mistake.

The world is so absurd and ridiculous.

When you are used to doing whatever you want, you won't care about these details.

The people in the city hall made such a low-level mistake probably because they never thought that there would be companies that would look over the report carefully and challenge them.

How could a company that usually crawls on the ground and relies on orders from the city hall dare to go against the city hall?

Behind this ridiculous number, it is not so much a matter of falsification.

It's more like naked arrogance.

Even if it is fake, I am too lazy to do it in a decent way.

Hamano kept flipping through the documents. As a public lawyer who had appeared in court at the High Court, he was extremely calm at this moment. After just a few moments of browsing the documents, Hamano immediately stood up.

Some city hall officials who were listening in the meeting room did not know how to respond to the numerical omissions pointed out by Miyakawa. Unexpectedly, their public lawyers came up with a counterattack in just a moment. For a moment, the anxiety that had just been aroused by Miyakawa's continuous questioning subsided again.

After all, this is a major project concerning Shinjuku City.

If something goes wrong, they will face tremendous media pressure and blame from their superiors in the future.

Even though they are many old veterans who have fought in the officialdom, at the scene of the crime, their emotions cannot help but be affected by the words of the lawyers.

Hamano said, "Let's put aside the issue of sample weight. Let's assume that what you said is true. Let me calculate that your client's samples are 100% qualified. However, I would like to ask Attorney Miyakawa to pay attention. Whether the ecological runway involved in the case will be finally awarded or not is a comprehensive score from all aspects."

The public lawyer showed the score sheet in his hand to the people present, "You can see that the winning factor is determined by many factors. Product sampling inspection accounts for 10 points, secondary product bidding price reduction accounts for 10 points, technical personnel response speed accounts for 10 points, enterprise construction quality control accounts for 10 points, construction period accounts for 10 points, enterprise interview and inspection accounts for 10 points, in addition to technical personnel qualifications, product materials and other factors."

"Okay, let's assume that your product sampling test has achieved full marks." Hamano shook the form in his hand, "which means that you got 10 points in this item."

"But..." Hamano stretched out his voice, "Except for your company, the second and third winning bidders all scored full marks in the product sampling test."

"Originally, the runway is not a high-tech construction project. It is natural that the product passed the sampling test. Other companies' product tests also received full marks. Even if you were given full marks, you may not necessarily be the final candidate to win the bid."

Hamano's voice echoed in the conference room.

This public lawyer displayed an almost rogue logic.

You think that you lost the bid because your product failed the inspection.

However, this experienced public lawyer took a different approach. Instead of getting entangled in the issue of whether the samples passed the inspection, he opened up another front - even if your samples passed the inspection, you may not win the bid.

Hamano continued, "If we look at the subsequent scoring items, we can understand why Attorney Mikawa and his client are not necessarily the winning party." "For example, the second price reduction item. In the final round of bid evaluation, the tenderer will give another opportunity to lower the price. However, it is obvious that your client is not willing to reduce the price again. The other two top bidders each reduced the price by more than 8%, and then you only reduced it by 3%. This resulted in you only getting 3 points in the price score."

"For example, in the quality control of enterprise construction, you have not had enough outstanding representative projects in the past, so the tenderer has doubts about whether you can successfully complete the construction requirements. Therefore, your score in this item is only 3 points."

"Also, regarding the corporate interview and inspection, I don't know what kind of bad impression you left on the bidding team. You only got 1 point on this point."

Hamano put down the materials in his hand and looked at the young lawyer opposite him. "Yes, even if you are right, the runway sample test is qualified. However, your scores in other aspects are far behind other candidates for the bid. After investigating other projects, there is nothing wrong with demoting your position as the first candidate and letting other bidding companies win the bid!"

"You deliberately ignored the disadvantages of other scoring items and just talked about another test report whose authenticity is unknown. May I ask, when did our Japanese companies fall to this level, to the point where they have to brag about even the most basic qualified products and make it a point to show off!!"

Hamano's series of rhetorical questions instantly suppressed Miyagawa's momentum.

This public lawyer managed to fight back from a desperate situation.

Indeed, there were procedural irregularities and flaws.

But as for the results, it’s fine as long as it’s correct.

Even if I killed you by mistake, I'm sorry, this is the necessary price to pay for the system to operate.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Miyakawa had not expected that the opposing lawyer could refute from this angle. Just like during the first trial, she was shocked by the shameless appearance of the opposing public lawyer and the city hall.

I didn't expect that today, the City Hall would say something like this.

This serious fraud was actually let go.

"Since you have committed fraud in the sample testing process, the relevant bidding is invalid!!!" Miyakawa immediately retorted anxiously.

After hearing this, Hamano just smiled faintly, "Miyagawa, attorney. Administrative affairs are very complicated, and there are many factors to consider."

"At present, the ecological track in the high-tech industrial park has been completed." The public lawyer showed evidence, "It has received a lot of praise in the acceptance. Various subsequent inspection reports can prove that the current ecological track is world-class in construction quality. After completion, many Shinjuku citizens came to check in and take photos. It has become another landmark in Shinjuku District."

"Then..." Hamano asked, "Miyagawa, what's the point of you arguing about the unfairness of the bidding process? The authenticity of your so-called qualification report cannot be determined. Do you want to destroy the completed ecological runway and hand it over to your client for re-construction?"

Hamano's question was asked calmly without any harsh words.

However, this extremely calm tone and rhetorical questions revealed an extremely cruel and terrifying side of this world.

Yes, so what if it's unfair.

Do we have to destroy the repaired buildings and let you bid for the construction again? !
