52 The Matthew Effect
There is a cloud in a certain scripture, "(that is), for to everyone who has will be added to him, that he may have more, and that which is not will be taken from him." ”
The original meaning of this classic sentence seems to be used to criticize the mentality of getting by without merit - the rich man gave his property to three servants before he went on a long journey: one servant earned 5,000 with 5,000 gold; Another servant earned 2,000 gold for 2,000 gold; Another servant, fearing the possible loss of his master's property, buried his 1,000 gold in the ground, much to the displeasure of his master. He gave the third servant's 1,000 gold to the first servant who earned 5,000 gold.
Later theological authorities explained it this way: If you do nothing, you will not be accepted by the kingdom of heaven.
Of course, economists do not accept it, summing it up as "the rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer." ”
In other words, it has to do with the ability to raise funds, the more abundant a person's books are, the more able they can pay their debts, the more willing people are to lend him money - that is, these people who can enjoy more "freedom" will become richer and more trusted because of the expansion of their area of activity, and the more opportunities for making money.
Lin Yilong is not exempt from vulgarity.
The amount of money that needs to be raised is about £5 million, but the input-output ratio of the agricultural industry is still very low, and not many people are willing to invest in such projects. They prefer to invest in more yielding causes, as Lin has always held on to the bonds of the Elizabeth Line. In addition to the government sector, the only sources that can provide stable and low-interest sources of funds are private investors who are willing to invest properly.
Lin Yilong took on this job with two advantages, because setting up a mortgage, whether it is a lender or a borrower, requires a lawyer to review various documents to ensure benefits; considering the not too low legal fees, he can just push these to Nils to do; and he can really find a provider of funds in this regard.
Uncle Tian, who lives in London, happened to have some of his friends who also wanted to get their children to immigrate to the UK, and there were very few people to find reliable contacts, so Uncle Tian handed over these contacts to Lin Yilong.
This kind of business that kills multiple birds with one stone, Lin Yilong can't refuse even if he wants to.
"After all, it's the customer's request, and we want to do our best to complete it. Bonnie has been commuting to and from work normally, and because she is saving Lin Yilong a lot of trouble, "I hope you can come forward to go back to Pujiang and follow me to meet customers." ”
In England and Wales, a two-year probationary period is required to obtain a solicitor's license, but these two apprenticeships require a rotation of departments that include three different practice subjects – Katie, for example, started her internship in the commercial sector at Alan Binghamton when she first started her career, requiring a partner, a practicing legal assistant and a clerical assistant to form a similar team to the project team, and in May of the following year, she went to the civil and commercial legal department to continue her training with the same organizational structure, and at the end of the year she went to the land department to the finance department, and finally practiced in the finance department.
So, although Bonnie was an apprentice under Lin Yilong, her apprenticeship was called "Commercial Law" and therefore she was not responsible for her internship that was not in her department, even if it was required above, and she had a lot of work on her hands, most of which was related to the minutiae of mergers and acquisitions related to Mr. Merck's estate.
"Of course!" said Bonnie, "I've been going to Pujiang lately to try river eels and grass heads." ”
"Then we'll leave tomorrow morning. Lin Yilong advised, "However, because it is an additional project, the so-called 'deadline' of the work at hand has not changed much even if it is a business trip." ”
"No problem!" Bonnie agreed.
Hearing that Lin Yilong was going out again, the Yeon sisters used all their charm, so that Lin Yilong packed up his package and had no energy when he and Bonnie were in the law firm.
Also in high spirits is Bonnie, who is doing the work assigned to her by Lin Yilong all night for today's trip.
However, Bonnie's load has not yet reached its limit, and while Lin Yilong is looking at Katie's lawyer's opinion and considering corrections in the car, Katie has also been studying the establishment documents related to the "farmers' association" and the background of the investors of the "agricultural industry fund".
Although the trial and grant of "agricultural industry funds" requires the recommendation of the "farmers' association", how to manage and how to lend needs to be completed by financial institutions, and the seemingly inconspicuous and unprofitable benefits need to be carried out in this area of financial concessions - the application conditions for concessions are very difficult, but when the Monetary Authority in London deals with the relevant requirements of the "agricultural industry group" with huge political power, as long as the rigid conditions are enough, it is always very cooperative, so that the application for an institutional license can get twice the result with half the effort.
Needless to say, this kind of procedural benefit must be occupied by the entity controlled by Lin Yilong - with this license, he can continue to engage in related businesses and further expand his financial resources.
"Whoever has is to be given to him, that he may have more, and whoever has not is to take what he has." Bonnie sighed, "It's so real." ”
"In our case, it's not a 'violation of the agency principle', right?" Lin Yilong asked rhetorically, "So, I don't think it's a problem in this regard, despite the benefits in this regard." ”
"What do you want me to do?" asked Bonnie. She gradually understood that this time it was not so much a consultant contract, but Lin Yilong's personal sales project, even if it was not Lin Yilong's personal work, Bonnie's resume could add points.
"It's not very convenient for me to meet these people in China, because for some reasons, my meeting with these people may lead to the regulator's inquiries about our investors, and I am too conspicuous after all. Lin Yilong explained the reason, "No one wants to mess up these things, whether it's me or my customers." ”
"Understood. Bonnie replied.
"So, when we get off the plane, we try to separate, you go to meet the customer, and I go to the café in the nearby business district for coffee. Lin Yilong said, and then took out an unsigned business card from his wallet, "If you need any expenses, you can collect it from the business account of the law firm." ”
......In addition to the fact that the main shareholder of the law firm is Lin Yilong, another reason is that the client's immigration legal counsel is also within the scope of Lynn's, which is also within the scope of the law firm's legal marketing.
"Did your girlfriend do the same?" Bonnie asked.
"She has her own reimbursement channels. Lin Yilong said this truthfully, "Before the election of the council, our main client Cwmdoncin will choose her as a negotiator, so her expenses are usually settled there." ”
