June debt, pay it off quickly.

Since joining Dingge Law Firm last year, Liu Chuandong has lived a hard time of not receiving big orders. It wasn't until the end of last year that the situation improved.

He relied on the opportunity of his peers becoming less bold and afraid to accept the well-known business of pure risk agency operation, and rose to the challenge and won several high-risk customers in a row.

Although none of the money from these big customers has been confiscated yet, the layout of the project seems to be running smoothly. As long as things can be done, in the end, I am not afraid of those customers defaulting on their debts.

Moreover, because it is a pure risk agency, Liu Chuandong's price when he signed the contract was also relatively high, and there was no case with a fee of less than 8 million - in the law firm, the fee standard of risk agency is several times higher than that of drought and flood lawsuits.

For example, in those ordinary lawsuits of the type of debt collection, some of the causes of action and evidence are actually very clear, but it is difficult to enforce, or the money will not be returned. If the law firm signs a contract with the client to deal with the risk agency until the money is paid, then the fee will be lost.

Ordinary play may only charge an agency fee of a few points and a maximum of ten points. And the model of "giving the lawyer's fee only when you get the money" is possible to give 30%.

Because in this case, the risk of the law firm is very large, almost equivalent to having to take both black and white, and hiring a debt collection agency to do both. And for the kind of old money that is almost a dead account, it is possible for the debt collection company to meet and divide it in half.

On this day, he did not go to work in the office as usual, but maintained the leadership relationship outside - in the broker circle in the capital, this office mode is usually not managed. After all, what everyone is doing is to pull the relationship business, just look at the results, the process is not easy to monitor.

Of course, the work of "maintaining leadership relations" can only start at least at noon.

More often than not, it's just before dinner before foreplay begins. Then dinner, entertainment venues, until the overtime all-night...... It's really hard.

Therefore, when he was woken up by the secretary of the office boss Du Qiuming on the phone, Liu Chuandong was actually still asleep to eliminate the fatigue of last night's treat.

It took him a few minutes to figure it out.

However, once he figured it out, he was immediately scared into a cold sweat and hurriedly packed up and rushed to the office.

……

"When the risk was reviewed, how many people reminded you! This kind of customer can't be accepted! It's good for you to pat your chest with Lao Tzu and sign an internal guarantee! Okay, now it's okay to do business!"

Just over half an hour later, in the partner conference room of Dingge Law Firm, Du Qiuming directly threw the folder at hand directly into Liu Chuandong's face without giving a face.

Liu Chuandong is just a new partner who accompanies the last seat, with shallow qualifications and no foundation, and he originally closed the broker company and came to defect because he was not good at it.

If it weren't for the fact that he knew several leaders of the General Administration and could still use them in the network at hand, who would be impatient to accept such a scumbag who has no academic qualifications and has not even taken the lawyer's certificate?

Therefore, if he really causes a big trouble, no one will save his face.

As soon as he heard Boss Du say that he wanted to do business, Liu Chuandong immediately coaxed, and he didn't even care about being smashed and angry.

He hurriedly begged for mercy: "Director, this matter is also an unexpected risk, how can there be no risk at all when taking over business...... If it weren't for the fact that the customer knew that others would not dare to accept this business, they would not have offered such a high price. If you succeed in earning it, not everyone will have a score ......"

However, Du Qiuming didn't pay attention to him at all, and just continued to ask the secretary in his own words: "Xiao Zhang, have you counted it?" How much does it cost to invest in these cases so far? ”

The female secretary in charge of the meeting minutes hurriedly flipped through the relevant documents and replied: "According to the external quotation, counting the deduction rate, it is close to 3 million." Among them, 1 million is a hard expense, that is, the lawyer's fee to the court, and the external expenditure of various layouts of self-directed and self-acting lawsuits. The rest is the labor discount in the office, if it is calculated according to the cost price, this part can still be pressed - according to that calculation, the actual total loss is 2 million. ”

The two types of expenses mentioned by the female secretary, in human terms, the first category is what the law firm has to pay to others, and that part cannot be saved by a dime. The second category is the manual labor of the firm, which is theoretically calculated according to the remuneration of the employed personnel. However, considering that the business is already a bit useless, and there is a difference between the external quotation and the internal cost, it can be discounted.

In other words, according to the lowest statistical caliber, Liu Chuandong's reckless business has made the company lose at least 2 million in vain in the past half a year.

What's worse is that Dingge Law Firm is a partnership, not even a "limited company".

I believe that as long as you are not legally illiterate, you are no stranger to the legal significance of the strange existence of "partnership": the partners of this kind of enterprise bear unlimited joint and several liability for the debts of the enterprise.

In other words, unlike when starting a company, the share capital is lost and pulled down. The partners of the partnership are responsible for the external debts of the enterprise, and they will lose the money of the enterprise and their personal property.

Perhaps most people think that since partnerships are so strange, they should definitely not continue to exist in modern society.

However, this model is common in many law firms or other firms.

The main reason is that this model is convenient for dividends not to be distributed in proportion to the capital contribution. Because the personnel of these enterprises are very high, whether the company can be mixed up depends on the personal strength of the top brand (it can be the design strength of the chief designer in the design firm, or the defense ability of the top lawyer of the law firm, etc.). After adopting a partnership, regardless of the original proportion of capital contribution, the articles of association can flexibly stipulate who will pay more dividends and who will pay less.

At the same time, under normal circumstances, all kinds of law firms belong to the kind of business model that is almost impossible to accumulate external debts.

Because most of the costs of these enterprises are their own labor expenses. They have almost no upstream suppliers, and the business is not done, and at most they work in vain, so as not to lose the cost of procurement.

It is precisely because of this combination of attributes that there are still a large number of unlimited partnerships in the law firm industry.

If Liu Chuandong caused trouble, it really made Dingge Office lose misery to the outside world, and everyone would have to be killed by him.

Of course, anyone who has studied a little bit of law also knows that the "unlimited joint and several partners of a partnership" is only external, that is, the firm owes foreign debts, and external creditors can collect debts from any partner.

However, within the partners, there is still a right of recourse. For example, if C commits a crime and owes money to outsiders, partner A can come back to C to settle private accounts behind closed doors after paying it off.

In this case, it is natural that all means can be used.

……

2 million! What is the algorithm for this account?

Directly let Liu Chuandong pay out of his own pocket and pay the 2 million for the firm?

Theoretically, the law allows this. In terms of the articles of association, it is also possible to call individuals accountable for such losses caused by the insistence of a single partner after being discussed by the partner group.

After all, it's a partnership, not a company.

But in fact, if this is done, the firm's centripetal force will also be severely frustrated, and it will be very difficult to recruit new people in the future - it will leave a bad reputation for outsiders that "the partners of Dingge Law Firm only take responsibility for the fertilizer, and if something happens, they will push it to newcomers".

Du Qiuming mediated with several other partners, and then said:

"Liu Chuandong, you have borne all the litigation fees and hard expenses to external suppliers. Even if the labor expenses of the brothers who do things for you are borne by the office, everyone will work hard -- they will all set an example in the future! Whoever dares to accept this kind of risk agent who is going out to pay out will be more bright! In addition, these days, you have invited all the leaders of the General Administration that you know to come out and let everyone be a companion together, and there are some things that you are no longer suitable for you to communicate with the leaders in the representative office."

"1 million!" Liu Chuandong's heart couldn't stop wailing, although he gave half less than taking full responsibility, it was still discounted, but he had done it for nothing for at least three or four years.

Even if you don't sell your house, you have to at least squeeze out your savings, and then cut off other financial products and stock market investments.

What's even worse lies in the overhead of other connections.

The 1 million that was lost was not in vain. Du Qiuming made it clear that he wanted Liu Chuandong to use his network to compensate for part of it.

Originally, in the broker world, everyone's most important resource is the leader you know. In order to prevent face-skewering, it is unlikely that others will intervene in the maintenance of the relationship account held by a certain person.

Now this posture is forcing him to ask out all the leaders he knows in the General Bureau, and how to have a meal with the other leading partners in the firm. In this way, if there is a place to use these leaders in the future, Liu Chuandong may be bypassed.

Du Qiuming didn't plan to let him go:

"You're only asked to bear 1 million, what else do you have to call it on! In the future, the tricks will be a little brighter! The experts and think tanks of various bureaus should learn more about the trends, and don't be ignorant of their skills! Professor Liu of Jinling Normal University has been eyeing this topic for a long time, but now he looks back and sees that it is all clues. You are not alert at all, and you dare to jump into such a high-risk outlet! Tell me, if this is not the case today, will you read Professor Liu's paper? I guess you don't even know the author's academic resume!"

Liu Chuandong is not a top student in the first place, so of course he will not care about the trends in the academic world. At this moment, he was also severely criticized by the director, and only then did he re-notice this unjust creditor who pushed him into the abyss.

Before he could figure it out, another partner at the conference table came out to sing a red face and be a good man - also to save some face for Liu Chuandong.

The partner's name is Zhen Pu, and he is a master who pays for everything, and he asked Du Qiuming: "Old Du, just tell me directly, what is the origin of that Professor Liu-I also wondered at first sight, when did the second-echelon school in the field of legal research like Jinling Normal University come out with a big bull who can guide the General Bureau? The second author, looking at the name of a woman, is it a graduate student he led?"

When Liu Chuandong heard this, he was also a little grateful to Zhen Pu for helping him change the topic of the crooked building and solve the siege, and hurriedly echoed and said: "Yes, yes, this kind ......of brick family is a virtue!

"Where is your turn to beep!" Du Qiuming became angry all of a sudden, and he was very dissatisfied and lost a few more pages of the paper, "You think you think, it's all you think! Speak responsibly! If you don't know, let me find out, don't take it for granted!"
