"If you dare to go bankrupt, we will buy it right away!" Our lawyer angrily resented the collapse of the American Tower Belt

One night in 2000, the construction site of the Three Gorges Project was ablaze with lights.

But with a loud noise, a tower belt crane weighing 20 tons suddenly fell from the sky and hit the unsuspecting workers.

This loud noise not only caused the tragedy of 3 deaths, 20 serious injuries and 11 minor injuries, but also caused a protracted tug of war.

The Three Gorges Project, as the largest water conservancy project in China and even in the world, has extremely strict requirements for equipment.

For the purpose of shortening the construction period and improving the project quality, Rotec's world-renowned efficient tower belt conveyor was selected at that time.

But the machine with high hopes fell out of the chain at the critical moment. The tool that should have been used to reduce the workload of workers has become a god of death that takes away life.

After the accident, the Chinese side attached great importance to it and organized a team of experts to quickly find out the cause. The accident was caused by the welding of the tower belt machine.

In the face of the fact that the evidence is conclusive, China made a claim to Rotec.

However, in the face of huge compensation, Rotec refused to admit it and tried to escape liability by relying on the differences in transnational laws.

He even replied to the Three Gorges Company: "This is caused by your own problems. It has nothing to do with the quality of the tower belt conveyor. We will not compensate for any money."

A big international company looks like a hooligan in front of the interests, and refuses to admit.

But this is not only a matter of money, but also an explanation to the injured workers.

At this time, the team led by Chinese female lawyer Wang Li assumed this responsibility. They consulted a large number of international legal documents and cases, and found the opportunity to win the lawsuit.

In the process of negotiation and arbitration, Wang Li's team demonstrated superb legal skills and strategies, and won the lawsuit first no matter what.

Faced with the delay and evasion of Rotec, they did not shrink back, but resolutely started the international arbitration proceedings.

In 2004, the arbitration tribunal ruled that Rotec was fully responsible and should compensate 32.75 million yuan.

However, in the face of court arbitration, Rotec still tried to evade its responsibility and tried to exploit the loopholes in the mediation agreement to delay the payment of compensation.

However, this idea was discovered by Wang Li's team in time and asked them to fulfill their payment responsibilities as soon as possible.

Seeing that Rotec could not escape, another plan was made to try to avoid subsequent compensation through bankruptcy.

But Wang Li did not give Rotec this opportunity. During the negotiation, she made a case and said, "You apply for bankruptcy, and Three Gorges Company will buy you right away!"

It was this aggressive and thunderous means that forced Rotec to return to the negotiating table and continue to discuss the subsequent compensation matters.

In this regard, the eight year transnational lawsuit finally declared the victory of Three Gorges Corporation.

Faced with the pressure of survival, Rotec had to survive and repay all its debts.

This story is not only a story about legal struggle, but also a case about how to safeguard their own rights and interests in international cooperation.

Although the accident of the tower belt crane of the Three Gorges Project brought pain, it also left valuable experience.

In the tide of globalization, international cooperation has become an important force to promote development.

However, the road of cooperation is not always smooth, and sometimes challenges and difficulties are encountered.

In the face of difficulties, blindly compromise will only be regarded as a soft persimmon, and the best way to safeguard their own rights and interests is to fight hard.
