Chapter 64 Law Firm Decisions

When Zhuo Ziyuan was excited about this wealth, Hengda Law Firm also set off a wave.

If Zhuo Ziyuan still has expectations for this wealth, then for the law firm, this is completely a windfall.

Zhuo Ziyuan's entrustment contract with the law firm is calculated according to the percentage, so the better the sales volume, the higher the income of the law firm, and the cooperation with Meidi Law Firm, in fact, Hengda Law Firm only gave the other party a not very high employment fee.

In fact, generally speaking, for things like publishing, the law firm theoretically charges according to the number of times and the time consumed to process, and it is not high. But this time, it can be clearly expected that it will be more than 100,000 US dollars, that is, millions of RMB, which is more than half of the income of the entire Longcheng Hengda Law Firm last year.

Lu Tao also felt uneasy about the high fee, he felt that he should do something to fight for some interests for Zhuo Ziyuan, and also for himself to win some capital, but also for the long-term cooperation with Zhuo Ziyuan in the future.

Longcheng Hengda Law Firm, in fact, was originally founded by three lawyers in partnership, not national, but very famous in Longcheng, there are only 8 lawyers in total, all of whom are considered partners, but the profit distribution ratio is different, the three founding lawyers are senior partners, and Lu Tao is also one of the partners.

Lu Tao decided to convene the management to communicate, and reduce the fee standard for Zhuo Ziyuan's books published overseas, originally Lu Tao could make a decision on this matter, but after all, it also involved the income of the partner.

Lu Tao quickly pulled the main partners to negotiate, and gave the prepared materials to all the participating lawyers, and after everyone had seen it, Lu Tao first expressed his thoughts.

"You have also read this information, in view of Mr. Zhuo's development potential and our fee standard, I would like to take the initiative to raise the issue of reducing the fee standard with the other party, so as not to affect the long-term cooperation with the other party. I believe that in the future, Mr. Zhuo will have more room for development and will bring more benefits to our law firm, and perhaps Mr. Zhuo will be the cornerstone of our law firm. ”

"Is your information true? He's just a high school student?" Mr. Chen, the recognized third member of the law firm and one of the founders, couldn't believe it.

"Yes, I have been in contact with Mr. Zhuo for two years, and there is no doubt about the authenticity of this information. Lu Tao replied firmly.

"This Zhuo Zi is far from simple, his layout is very stable, look at his situation, in addition to writing, he is also ready to make big moves on the convenience store, and now he has capital, it is estimated that the chain convenience store will rise soon. Lawyer Guo, the boss of the law firm and one of the founders, spoke highly of Zhuo Ziyuan.

"Yes, writing is still Mr. Zhuo's main source of income at present, but there will definitely be other businesses in the future, the twilight novel he is writing now, I heard him say that it will be a series of works, that is, there will be a few more books to be published, rather than waiting until the other party finds out that the law firm charges too high and interrupts the cooperation, I am more looking forward to his future development potential, and Mr. Zhuo has now opened the US imperialist market, even without us, just find a law firm, we can reach a cooperation with the US imperialist publishing house, so the top priority is to tie him up, so I have to take the initiative to reduce the price to show sincerity。 ”

"Well, I think Lawyer Lu's proposal is very correct, in fact, Lawyer Lu himself can decide this matter, now everyone should raise their hands to vote. Lawyer Guo, the boss of the law firm, was the first to speak.

Next, there was no doubt that it was unanimously passed, and no one would come out against it at this time.

"Well, in the future, Lu Tao will still be responsible for the docking with Zhuo Ziyuan, and Lu Tao can negotiate with Zhuo Ziyuan about the cost reduction, and Zhuo Ziyuan's priority is ranked at the highest level of the law firm. The boss of the law firm, Mr. Guo, finally made a decision.

After getting the consent of the law firm, Lu Tao found Zhuo Ziyuan that night and explained the situation to him.

After listening to Lu Tao's introduction, Zhuo Ziyuan was silent, in fact, Zhuo Ziyuan's current state is very similar to using Lu Tao as his own personal lawyer, I don't know if there is such a statement in China now, but there are many such private lawyers on TV, and private lawyers can provide a full range of consulting services when they are in need.

If you charge completely per piece, the cost will definitely be much, much lower. The law firm wants to cooperate with Zhuo Ziyuan for a long time, in fact, Zhuo Ziyuan also wants to have a long-term cooperation law firm or lawyer, of course, the stronger the law firm or lawyer, the better, if the law firm can be strong, Zhuo Ziyuan does not care about making some investment in the early stage.

For money, Zhuo Ziyuan can be said to value it, or it can be said that it is not valued, when there is no money, Zhuo Ziyuan wants more money, but when he has money, Zhuo Ziyuan will not be stingy.

Since it is necessary to maintain long-term cooperation, and the other party is required to become a private lawyer on call, the binding of interests is necessary, so in the end, Zhuo Ziyuan decided to give the other party a proportional commission.

"That's it, there's no need to charge per piece, so I don't feel very suitable, it's a bit of a loss for you, so let's do it, when the book is published, we will set a 2% income ratio, and I still have a lot of things to solve in the future, similar to the service of a private lawyer, you make more money, and your strength is strong, which is also good for me." ”

"Thank you so much, Mr. Zhuo, we also hope to have a long-term cooperation with you, you can rest assured that you will maintain the highest priority in our law firm, and we will do our best to do anything. Lu Tao said with an oath.

"Actually, there is really something to mention, at present you are only in Changzhou, let me be honest with you, I am going to go to the Eastern Capital in the future, and my career will also be based on the Eastern Capital, I wonder if your law firm is considering expanding. "Zhuo Ziyuan is not polite, after all, it is closely related to his own interests, Zhuo Ziyuan wants to build a chain of convenience stores, Dongdu must win, even if it is not for this, if he wants to develop his own career in the future, it is impossible to stay in Longcheng, a third-tier city.

If Evergrande Law Firm establishes a network in Shanghai, it will be of great benefit to its own future, and the binding of interests will be more solid, so that he does not have to look for other law firms, and he currently has no greater room for interests to bind with other law firms, or there is no capital to attract stronger law firms in Dongdu.

"No problem, I will discuss it with our law firm partners, you can rest assured, we will definitely follow in the footsteps of Mr. Zhuo." Lu Tao knew that he had made the right bet, this Zhuo Ziyuan would definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future.

Lu Tao was also very tempted by Zhuo Ziyuan's proposal, if the law firm set up a branch in Dongdu, then he would have a great chance to stand alone, after all, this proposal was related to Zhuo Ziyuan, and Zhuo Ziyuan was connected by himself.
