"The whole process is legal and reasonable, and 17 million is already a lot. ”
"Where is the procedure legal? If you want to think it is legal, just take the corresponding documents and we'll talk about it!"
At a long table in one of the county government offices, a heated negotiation is taking place. On one side of the long table, there was a battle between the director of the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau, the deputy county magistrate, two lawyers, and two accountants, and on the other side there seemed to be some outnumbered, only Li Chenggang and his lawyer.
At the beginning of the negotiations, two elderly lawyers from the expropriating side clamored in an attempt to give Li Chenggang and his lawyer a dismissal. Li Chenggang's lawyer, Sun Chengxin, looked indifferent, quietly watched the performance of the opposing lawyer, seized the right opportunity to ask the other party, and hit the nail on the head. Under the unhurried and reasoned rhythm of lawyer Sun, the opposing lawyer gradually lost the battle. The negotiations lasted for three days, and two days later, the lawyer of the expropriating party only said one word "um", and the negotiations were over.
This negotiation seems ordinary on the surface, but behind it is lawyer Sun Chengxin's countless days and nights, and even the day before the negotiation, lawyer Sun communicated with Li Chenggang about the negotiation strategy until late at night. Mr. Sun tirelessly calculated one by one, fixed the amount that could be determined as much as possible, and tried his best to fight for the compensation of this negotiation, and finally lived up to Li Chenggang's entrustment and successfully completed the task. What kind of case is behind this negotiation, why Li Chenggang has such a large commercial real estate, and what lawyer Sun Chengxin did right, let's see below.
The facts of the case
Li Chenggang and Li Jianzhong, the Li brothers in Luliang, Shanxi Province, have been working together since 1993, each investing half of their share capital to run a household appliance sales business. In the past few years, the brothers' business has grown bigger and bigger, and gradually accumulated a considerable amount of capital. On November 9, 2000, the two made a decisive attack with the funds of their business partnership, and jointly participated in the bidding to acquire the office building of the County Construction Bank, and the brothers had a milestone moment on their business path. Two years later, in the spring, the Lee brothers decided to move their joint home appliance business into the purchased building and transform it into an office and business space. After another year, they jointly funded again to dismantle the ancillary facilities in the original courtyard of the property, such as the garage, boiler room and kitchen, and comprehensively renovated and upgraded the interior and exterior, giving the overall environment of this commercial building of more than 2,000 square meters a new look.
However, the business path was not always easy, and the relationship between the two men took a major turn in 2012. Despite the resolute opposition of his brother Li Jianzhong, Li Chenggang insisted on investing the common funds in a number of external cooperation projects on a large scale, with a cumulative investment of up to 26 million yuan, which caused unprecedented disagreements between the brothers. In the end, Li Jianzhong decided to withdraw from the partnership and transferred all his shares to Li Chenggang, and the nearly 20-year business cooperation between the two brothers came to an end. As the sole shareholder, Li Chenggang alone shouldered the responsibility of the future development of the commercial building, and the good news is that after years of hard work, the development of the commercial building has reached a new level, and Li Chenggang has also become a local legend.
Fate always makes people, and Li Chenggang once again encountered the Waterloo of life. In 2021, due to the shantytown renovation project in the urban area, Li Chenggang's house was included in the scope of expropriation. Subsequently, the appraisal company came to the door to evaluate and made an appraisal price of 17 million. Such a low valuation made Li Chenggang's head confused, he was proficient in business things, but he made difficulties in law. So, with years of business intuition, he found Beijing Jingkang Law Firm.
Jingkang lawyer's demeanor
After a preliminary understanding of Li Chenggang's situation, Jingkang Law Firm knew that the case was serious, so it assigned lawyer Sun Chengxin, who has rich experience in handling cases in the field of expropriation and demolition, to represent him. After full communication, lawyer Sun learned that Li Chenggang had not received any documents related to the expropriation in this case. As a result, lawyer Sun instructed Li Chenggang to submit applications for open government information to a number of administrative organs and obtain relevant collection documents. After getting the documents, the beginning and end of the expropriation of the house surfaced.
Mr. Sun carefully studied these documents, analyzed the illegality of the expropriator's expropriation of the house, and pointed out the entry point of the case for Li Chenggang. At the same time, Mr. Sun sent a lawyer's letter to the county government, and also took the initiative to communicate with the expropriation department by phone many times, explaining the problems existing in the expropriation process and expressing his willingness to negotiate. After several times, the government department knew that once the outcome of Li Chenggang's prosecution was unfavorable to its side, it organized personnel to negotiate.
On April 19, 2023, Mr. Sun rushed to the local area to negotiate, and after three days, he finally won a satisfactory result for Li Chenggang, which also became the most memorable three days for Mr. Sun. In the past three days, lawyer Sun suppressed the arrogance of the expropriator, raised the compensation for the main part of the house to more than 29 million, and signed an agreement to compensate Li Chenggang more than 12 million. In addition, more than 5 million other expenses, such as the loss of production and business suspension, employee severance expenses, decoration expenses, etc., are still being negotiated separately, and the case, which lasted more than a year, has achieved a major victory in just three days.
When he went, the temperature in Lu Liang was 30 degrees, and when he left, it was snowing, but Lawyer Sun, who was shivering from the cold, was full of enthusiasm. "Lawyer Sun, we have won a big victory, thank you!" Li Chenggang, who was called "Xiao Sun" before the negotiation, changed his words, and at this moment he was extremely relaxed, as if he had instantly unloaded the thousands of pounds that had been carried on his body for more than a year.

Director Shi reminded
Demolition and relocation is a long-term struggle that requires comprehensive professional knowledge, control of the overall situation, and rational application of the law. Even a lawyer with many years of litigation experience is constantly learning and updating, so that he can calmly analyze and make correct judgments in a case. And for non-law-abiding people, this is a huge subject that cannot be achieved by just a short period of time. Therefore, when encountering any demolition problems, you may wish to ask a lawyer and carry out professional rights protection under the guidance of a lawyer.
