Celebrities fighting lawsuits is now not uncommon, in the early years, Shao Weigang, the chairman of Qingfeng Go, and their childhood preschool teacher Li Suxiang confronted the court in order to reorganize the original equity and funds, and recently Nie Weiping and Qiwang Liquor have fought lawsuits, in order to fight for the portrait rights of enterprises and celebrities.
Because the influence of these celebrities in the industry is huge, the onlooker effect caused by them cannot be ignored, and the melon-eating masses who are watching for a while are shouting.
In the story written today, there are two protagonists, one is Professor Yi Zhongtian, and the other is Chang Hao, the world champion of Go, these two people are not comparable, but in 2008, each was dragged into a lawsuit due to a dispute over housing property rights, and the amount involved in both cases was about 200,000 yuan.
Easy in the sky
Some people have said that it has been more than ten years ago, is this not an old thing to be mentioned again? Yes, what I wrote is indeed an old story, Nie Weiping's first divorce was in 1991, isn't there still a lot of people paying attention?
Others have said that you have successfully piqued my interest, so let's start our story now. Two flowers bloom, first of all, Professor Yi.
Yi Zhongtian is a well-known writer and scholar in China. In 2006, he was fifty-nine years old and became famous for lecturing on "Three Kingdoms of Yizhong Tianpin" in the "Hundred Tribunes" column of CCTV.
Professor Yi Zhongtian likes to talk in front of the camera lens of the TV station, which is particularly popular, and there are not many people who are popular, once, Yi Zhongtian was on a forum. These few words were said: The Qianlong Emperor reigned for 60 years and did not do anything good. He's a bastard. I don't know why so many people sing the praises of him. Such remarks caused dissatisfaction among the descendants of the Qing dynasty royal family, so they directly complained to the relevant departments about Yi Zhongtian, saying that he was slandering their ancestors. Of course, this is a complete farce.
Yi Zhongtian worked tirelessly, wrote a lot of books, and earned money to go to the sea, so in 2007, the 60-year-old Yi Zhongtian moved the idea of buying a big house. He caught his eye on a villa near Lianqian Road of Xiamen University with a price tag of more than 5 million yuan. Of course, buying a house is to go through the process, Yi Zhongtian's wife Ms. Li first went to the housing agency company, initially signed the power of attorney, this villa price of 5.3 million yuan, if the house is transferred, according to the intermediary company calculation, they have about 138,000 yuan of income.
In October 2007, Mr. and Mrs. Yi Zhongtian drove a Volvo sedan and came to the villa for the first time with the personnel of the real estate agency. When the celebrity is good, the landlord's son's girlfriend recognized Yi Zhongtian for the first time, on the spot handed over a note to Yi Zhongtian, the intermediary at that time Miss Zhang looked vaguely worried, because if the note given is a contact number, the house buyer and seller may bypass the intermediary company to directly trade, but Yi Zhongtian seems to see the other party's concern, he verbally promised that I will not do such a thing, it should be your labor fee we will pay you.
Miss Zhang, a salesman of the intermediary company, feels that Yi Zhongtian is a celebrity and should not rely on the intermediary fee. So I ate this reassuring pill. But later, when she sent the intermediary fee and various tax lists to Professor Yi and his wife, Yi Zhongtian's wife, Ms. Li, replied that we would not buy this villa for the time being. Buying and selling yellow is a common thing, the intermediary company did not care at first, but after a few days, when the intermediary wanted to take other customers to see the house, the owner of the villa told the agent that the house had been sold, and the intermediary company sent someone to the Xiamen Municipal Housing Management Department to inquire to confirm their suspicions, the villa has been transferred to the name of Mrs. Li, Mrs. Yi Zhongtian's wife, and Miss Zhang's worries have become a reality. By the end of May 2008, two intermediary companies found Yi Zhongtian and his wife and asked for intermediary fees, and Yi Zhongtian and his wife replied that they could only give 5,000 yuan in intermediary fees. Because this and the intermediary company's psychological expectation of 138,000 costs are too much difference, the intermediary said that it is unacceptable, at this time Professor Yi made his attitude clear that the intermediary did not have the owner's power of attorney for selling the house, it had no right to take the intermediary fee, but the intermediary company retorted that because Yi Zhongtian's wife, Ms. Li, signed the power of attorney, she should pay the intermediary fee.
Yi Zhongtian couple
Two housing construction agents who were singled out said whether to sue was still under consideration. Yi Zhongtian's attitude is: I personally believe that the most authoritative explanation for this matter should be in court. As far as I know, the homeowner did not entrust these two intermediary companies and did not want to sell the house, we contacted the homeowner through other channels, and after hard work, we bought the property.
Professor Yi put aside the fact that he first led them to see the homeowner, and all he had was that the legal documents of the intermediary company were incomplete, so the intermediary company had to swallow this breath and endured.
Professor Yi, who has a strong sense of law, has taught a vivid lesson to the intermediary company with incomplete license qualifications, and as for the damage to his own image, it is nothing. Yi Zhongtian and his wife successfully jumped the single and saved 130,000 yuan.
Chang Hao
Chang Hao has been involved in lawsuits twice in his life, one is that in 2016, he was dissatisfied with a copycat publishing house for unauthorized profit of his own chess score, and the other person across the sea echoed him was Lee Sedol of South Korea, who withdrew from the association because he was dissatisfied with the policy of monopolizing chess intellectual property rights for korean chess players, and Lee Sedol's move caused an uproar in the Korean chess world.
If the lawsuit involving the copyright of chess scores was a confrontation with the private interests of the publishing house with the nature of public welfare, then Chang Hao in 2008
Filing a lawsuit with the Fengtai District People's Court in Beijing is entirely a private act.
I'll try to tell the story at my own pace.
In 1998, Chang Hao married his own sister, the beautiful woman Zhang Xuan as his wife, because Zhang Xuan is eight years older than Chang Hao, so the secular people cast a different eye, including his parents and master Nie Weiping, but Chang Hao persistently pursues a happy life and does not listen to the teachings of others.
After getting married, Chang Hao devoted himself to his career, and he entrusted many things to Zhang Xuan to take care of, so there was this litigation dispute.
Qu Jiang, a reporter for "Sports Network", is a friend of Chang Hao, and Chang Hao's nickname is Duck, and Qu Jiang usually calls him like this. The origin of this duck is very interesting, because Chinese Go games generally adopt a point system, winning a game of two points, losing a round of zero points, Chang Hao every time the game put a toy duck next to his chessboard, as his winning mascot, and later Chang Hao had the nickname of duck.
As for the later nickname Rensheng, how to look at it looks like a mocking statement.
Chang Hao and Zhang Xuan
Chang Hao has a set of properties in Beijing located within the South Third Ring Road, a property purchased in a community called Hengsongyuan, just near the Liujiayao subway, this 82-square-meter house has no meaning for Chang Hao, because this is the first property that Chang Hao bought in Beijing, the marriage room where Chang Hao and Zhang Xuan got married is here, Chang Hao has become a father here, and his daughter's cradle bed is still placed in that property.
Later after he moved out, Taiwan chess king Zhou Junxun lived there, the third owner here is Ding Wei in Yunnan, after Ding Wei moved away, the room was idle there, Qu Jiang just arrived in Beijing in 2005, because of family changes, very poor, so he was allowed to temporarily live here, became the fourth owner of this house, this stay is three years, according to Qu Jiang, after he lived in it, he reached a verbal agreement with Chang Hao, I myself want to buy this house for 450,000 yuan, From 2005 to around September 2008, he paid a total of 350,000 yuan to Chang Hao's family. Every time Zhang Xuan typed a receipt. But when he was ready to pay Zhang Xuan the last amount of about 100,000 yuan in 2008, Zhang Xuan suddenly proposed that the house would not be sold, saying that there were relatives who wanted to come to live, hoping that the other party would move out of here, and the money previously paid could be returned to the other party, and another 20% interest compensation could be added. Then Qu Jiang of course did not do it, he said that Beijing house prices soared so rapidly, he has lost the opportunity to buy a house again, he will pay the final payment of 100,000 yuan as soon as possible, and even add some as compensation, but Zhang Xuan did not agree, the two sides could not negotiate, thus reaching an impasse.
But Zhang Xuan said that what Qu Jiang said was not the truth, and Zhang Xuan said that buying this house in Fengtai District for 450,000 yuan was only Qu Jiang's unilateral idea, because when the house was bought by himself, he spent 560,000 yuan. How could it be sold for 450,000 yuan after a few years? I have consulted a lawyer, and 450,000 yuan is lower than the minimum housing price standard in Beijing, which will cause suspicion of tax evasion and tax evasion. Qu Jiang insisted that he and Chang Hao had an oral agreement, but the two sides did not sign a formal written agreement, and Zhang Xuan believed that the house was a lease, not a transfer. Zhang Xuan believes that since January 2005, Qu Jiang has lived in his house for more than three years, but has not paid rent. Due to the failure of the negotiation, the other party was required to move out and pay a total of $135,000 in rent.
The two sides are not consistent in what they say, and it seems that it is about to become a new Rashomon incident.
Chang Hao match Zhang Xuan concerned
At this time, in fact, this 82-square-meter house, the selling price at this time has quietly appreciated, in 2008, the house price in Beijing was about 15,000 yuan per square meter, so this may be the real reason for this dispute.
If the million-dollar property is only sold for 450,000 yuan, it means that Qujiang's purchase agreement has become a pit for Chang Hao, which means huge losses in terms of property. But some people have said that to be a person, you must have the spirit of contract and you must talk about credit, but there is no formal text agreement between Chang Hao and Qu Jiang, and this verbal agreement has created a huge space for both buyers and sellers to reinterpret. For example, the written materials provided by Qu Jiang are receipts for payment. Because he personally respected and trusted Chang Hao, he did not sign a written agreement. Zhang Xuan said that the agreement was not signed because there was no negotiation on the price. The two sides have been negotiating for more than a year, but they still can't talk closely, and it is estimated that both sides have said some excessive words, and since this is the case, they have to resort to the law to resolve it.
Qu Jiang is a journalist in sports, who has been covering Go for many years, and is very familiar with Chang Hao and others, and his previous friendship relationship is now in court, which makes people sigh.
This incident had a great negative impact on Chang Hao and his wife.
Whether this kind of lawsuit is won or lost, it will ultimately affect Chang Hao's reputation and even the reputation of Chinese Go, and Zhang Xuan also realizes a little, so she has always claimed that she represented Chang Hao in the lawsuit.
Chang Hao's initial attitude was, "What did you say before, what do you do now?" He didn't want to be distracted by this matter, but he more or less changed his attitude: everything was left to the law, and both sides would respect the court's decision.
In this matter, since the reporter Qu Jiang took out the receipt of the payment, then he paid 350,000 yuan to the other party is the real evidence, which shows that there must be an agreement between the two sides, it is impossible to only rent and not sell, otherwise this money will be unreasonable.
At the same time, it must be pointed out that a person's legal property is sacred and inviolable, and even if the house purchased for 560,000 yuan is sold depreciated, there must be legal documents to restrain it, if not, the house price in Beijing has soared so sharply, let me sell the house with a market value of between 1 million and 1.1 million yuan for 450,000 yuan, if you would agree? Therefore, it is the quantitative change that leads to the qualitative change.
The country's housing prices mentioned by Zhang Xuan have a minimum price policy, which is a true expression of this demand.
Qu Jiang countered that as long as both parties are willing, what kind of price is probably not unacceptable. His meaning was also very clear, and he had to do it according to the verbal agreement with Chang Hao before, but the key point of the matter was that he only had a verbal agreement, not a formal text agreement.
The law is to pay attention to evidence, so even if Zhang Xuan repents of selling the property at a low price, because Qujiang does not have a formal text agreement, the lawsuit will not necessarily be won.
Chang Hao Zhang Xuan and his wife
Before and after the lawsuit, Chang Hao experienced three important international matches, fortunately, it was Zhang Xuan who did something tedious for Chang Hao, Chang Hao was able to beat Lee Chang-ho in 2007 to win the 13th Three Star Cup, in 2008, he was in the 9th Nongshim Cup Three Nations Ring, as China's vice general, straight line four consecutive wins to end the game, this is the first time the Chinese team won the Nongshim Cup Three Nations Ring Team Championship, in 2009 Chang Hao was in the 7th Chunlan Cup final, 2:0 victory over Lee Chang-ho, Won his third world title.
Chang's lawsuit disputes were all in the eyes, Nie Weiping decided to make a difference with the mud, of course, this mud and the quality is higher.
Nie Weiping
Nie Weiping's original words were as follows: "I coordinated this matter based on Chang Hao, if you go to the lawsuit on personal reputation, you can put it aside, the key is to damage the overall image of the Chinese Go community, so I want to be a mediator." ”
On Chang Hao's side, Nie Weiping had a meal with them, and on the Qujiang side, Nie Weiping invited a senior reporter, Li Zheyong, to mediate, and the two sides finally returned to the negotiating situation. After the contact between the two parties, the parties made certain concessions, Qujiang will make up the minimum transfer price stipulated by the state for this property, and Chang Hao, Zhang Xuan and his wife will withdraw the lawsuit. This storm eventually disappeared into invisibility, and the most important thing in the settlement of this matter must be Nie Weiping's active mediation of Jiu Duan.
In this matter, there are indeed some problems in the communication between the two sides, such as the different understanding of the relevant national policies and regulations between the two sides, coupled with poor communication, resulting in some misunderstandings. After the litigation dispute came out, Chang Hao and his wife and reporter Qu Jiang actually suffered very boring slander, and perhaps it would become a double-defeat outcome in the end.
On November 28, 2008, Chang Hao specially sent a message to thank his master Nie Weiping.
Chang Hao wrote: "Thanks to Teacher Nie for his timely help and enthusiastic help, he helped me solve a troublesome matter. In this way, I can play chess with peace of mind again. ”
Qu Jiang also said: I think the lesson is that when there are some disputes in life, everyone must communicate in time. Anyway, after all, when I was in the most difficult time, Chang Hao and his wife extended a helping hand to me. I apologize to Chang Hao for some radical remarks. In short, the matter was successfully concluded.
After that, I would like to say that this is the conflict between the spirit of contract and the principle of good faith, the former in the legal text, which can be queried, and the latter exists in the human heart and undergoes moral scrutiny.
Finally, I would like to say that celebrities fight lawsuits with grassroots, but because celebrities have more faces than ordinary people, when it comes to reputation, celebrities are more inclined to solve low-key problems than ordinary people. So you have a reason, if you don't care about reputation, although you can fight with your opponent to the end. But then again, litigation also pays attention to evidence, so what Qujiang reporters who were passively involved in the lawsuit said during the lawsuit is the most authentic and credible: "Don't believe in celebrities anymore, I don't want to see some media reporters see star chess players as their fathers and mothers all their lives."
Indeed, celebrities are also human beings, they also enjoy the rights stipulated by the law, but also to fulfill the obligations stipulated by the law, if they believe too much in human feelings and lack legal awareness, then they cannot blame others for their losses.
