Chapter 150: Buying Road Money
According to Du Qiuming's path, it is also extremely expensive to make an "overall solution for national high-tech enterprises" - and to pull new enterprises that are completely non-compliant and do not meet the conditions into this circle.
Even if you don't consider Du Qiuming's own interests and the fertilizer distribution of the partner team.
Just counting the manpower costs of grassroots lawyers and agents needed to operate these cases, it is at least a few million dollars:
Partners can live on dividends, and if the firm's performance is not good, there will be no dividends. However, the salaries and bonuses of ordinary lawyers and agents are paid every month, and it is impossible to not pay people in normal times because large projects will not be settled until one or two years.
Therefore, in the operation process of each major project, it relies on the historical dividends to be distributed in the firm to survive the old capital.
It's just that in previous years, the situation of this dividend rollover was good every year and the business development was fast, so everyone didn't feel that the partners had taken any risks, and ordinary lawyers would only go to the Internet and shout "These big firms have a fart benefit for personal development!"
And when it comes to the real big business decision-making mistakes or accidents, the situation is serious.
In just two or three days, Du Qiuming dealt with customers every day to plug leaks, and he was anxious, and he seemed to be more than ten years old all of a sudden.
It's hateful that he has suffered so many changes and has become a laughing stock in the industry, and he has also been secretly watched by the second and third intellectual property law firms in the capital for several days (those two firms are stupider than Du Qiuming, but stupid people have stupid blessings, so they didn't have time to follow up Feng Jianxiong's strategy), but they still don't know whether their enemies are Liu Yuanming or Feng Jianxiong, and what kind of mentality the other party has.
As for Ma Zai Liu Chuandong, his forehead was smashed by the glass ashtray thrown by Du Qiuming for no reason, and even his eye sockets were swollen, and he dared not speak angrily.
It seems that listening to Du Qiuming's meaning, the reason why Feng Jianxiong took revenge on the Dingge Office must be because the Dingge Office took in Liu Chuandong, a rotten person who had offended Feng Jianxiong, so he took revenge on Wujiwu.
Liu Chuandong was so aggrieved that he couldn't argue, and said in his heart that he hadn't dared to provoke Feng Jianxiong again for several years, and he should forget how much hatred he had!
On the third day, the "other boot upstairs" finally landed, and all the struggles were completely blocked.
The Supreme People's Court has really issued a new judicial interpretation, officially revising the legal effect of the retrial committee's reversal of the judgment, which can be regarded as a low-key admission of the loopholes in its original old interpretation.
Of course, in order to cover up the low-level mistakes in the past, there are several other points in the explanation this time, which are also the drawbacks accumulated over the past year or so of the pilot, but these points are not painful and cannot be used by professionals and exploited loopholes for profit.
Several problems have been fixed together, and the truly malignant loopholes are not conspicuous.
β¦β¦
Now that the second boot has also landed, it is time to judge.
In his office, Du Qiuming spent a whole morning meeting with the legal director of Daqian Real Estate Group, who came to break the contract.
The legal director's surname is Shao, his name is Shao Kai, and he is also a middle-aged man in his forties, who is said to be a top returnee from the Ivy League Department and a doctor of law from Columbia University.
It's just that the Ph.D. students in Anglo-American and French countries can only deal with matters that sit down and talk about things after returning to China, or solve the troubles in the internationalization of the group's business.
For example, defrauding various qualifications and defrauding various indicators...... These are 100% outsourced, and even the progress is kept up with his subordinates.
There was a big incident today, and he himself was scolded by the young marshal, and he also scolded himself for accepting it, but he still felt that he was not angry, so he flew to the capital in person to talk to Du Qiuming about tearing up the contract.
"Mr. Du, everyone understands people, according to your pace, things will definitely not be done. For the sake of your busy work, I won't tell you anything about 'delaying the big game of chess of our group to build a state-level high-tech wholly-owned subsidiary', and how much strategic loss has been caused to our group.
Anyway, we won't pay a penny for the contingency fee, so the contract will be invalidated. If you do it yourself, it's over. β
Du Qiuming's mouth was bitter, but fortunately, he had been mentally prepared for a few days in his heart, but he seemed very quiet.
Since we want to make an "overall solution" and do not charge customers for the cost of OPEN-BOME, we must come up with dry goods, which cannot solve the problem, and we cannot ask for "hard work without merit".
This is the rule of the rivers and lakes.
Just like you Xiaomi sells mobile phones, it was originally the hardware bill of materials OPEN-BOME, and the assembly machine is almost the same, then there is some quality problem, explain to the consumer "which component is the problem", "this component is replaced", consumers still have the patience to listen to a sentence.
In good conscience, consumers are buying a bargain after all.
But buying a product with an arrogant posture like Apple is different. IF THERE IS A FAULT TYPE THAT IS NOT THE FAULT OF THE CONSUMER, YOU SHOULD DIRECTLY THROW THE IPHONE IN THE FACE OF OLD GOU.
After all, you are just pretending to play the "overall solution" and "the cost of materials has nothing to do with the selling price". Since the overall solution can't solve the overall problem, what else is there to explain? Without these two brushes, we should bear the fate of not being looked at by consumers.
Those dog minions who will obediently kneel and lick and listen to Qiao Laogou explain that "consumers should hold their mobile phones with the correct posture" are a minority after all.
There is no diamond, non-porcelain work, this is the end.
"I accept, thank you Shao for your understanding, this time it is really force majeure. But since we didn't do what we promised, we will of course bear the consequences - and please don't have a negative impact on the friendly cooperation between the two sides for many years. β
Du Qiuming softened very sensibly.
It's not that he can't afford to lose millions of cases (if the cost is a loss of millions, if it is calculated according to the expected benefits after completion, at least tens of millions of losses), in contrast, it is more important to continue to pull large customers at the moment.
Which year is the business of those large real estate groups to the top law firms they cooperate with is not at least tens of millions?
Therefore, Du Qiuming not only admitted the account, but also provided Shao Kai with a free consultation for half a morning to help Shao Kai figure out how to solve the problems that have been caused - after the hole of the Review Committee of the State Intellectual Property Bureau was blocked, it will definitely not be possible to build the new subsidiary of the group into a state-level high-tech enterprise according to the original plan. But this goal still needs to be done, and it depends on how long it will be delayed, whether it will be a year or two years.
For large groups, they have a national-level high-tech, which brings various policies, tax cuts and other benefits, and can really raise at least tens of millions of dollars a year. Therefore, even if it is only a year of delay, it is reasonable not to pay the lawyer's fees.
"After chatting for so long, I have also said all the ideas I can provide, go eat something, how can you use your brain when you are hungry? Is Mr. Shao interested in Cantonese cuisine? I know a private restaurant in Beijing. β
Du Qiuming's tens of millions of businesses have been smashed, and he doesn't care about the insignificant little bleeding of inviting guests to a big meal.
Go to a five-star hotel or a high-end Michelin-starred restaurant to eat specialties, that is the limit of Diaosi's imagination, in fact, people with real status know that if you want to eat good local specialties, you have to find a small stove in Beijing and offices of various provinces and institutions.
Shao Kai was about to agree, but Du Qiuming's female secretary transferred a text message to his mobile phone.
Du Qiuming's face changed when he saw it, and he replied solemnly, "No!"
The exclamation point is also particularly played.
"Nothing, a little daily chores. He closed his mobile phone, and did not forget to explain to Shao Kai that there were no silver three hundred taels here.
In 09, there were still clamshell machines used by business people, and the full-screen straight board machine was not completely popularized, and it was more only used by young hipsters. (In industries that don't closely align with the frontiers of the times, bosses still use Nokia in 2012.) οΌ
Shao Kaihu glanced at him suspiciously and slightly meaningfully, and Du Qiuming was not embarrassed to say the request of "don't go to the front door".
He hurriedly got off the elevator and rushed to the parking lot, not even planning to drive his own car. It's a pity that the elevator entrance in the underground garage is still blocked.
"Du, always, right? Eh, how did your secretary say you weren't there? An underbeaten face appeared in front of Du Qiuming, with a harmless look of humans and animals,
"Introduce yourself, you may not know, my name is Feng Jianxiong. A while ago, I followed Professor Liu of the National Intellectual Property Bureau to post some articles. At that time, I felt that what Professor Liu did was a little inappropriate, and he might accidentally hurt some of his peers, but it really hurt you by mistake. β
Feng Jianxiong's words were very polite, but the content was completely unkind.
Du Qiu gritted his teeth secretly, wondering why the other party took advantage of it and came to provoke.
This is not the way to do things in circles.
Unless, what Feng Jianxiong said was the truth: that is, the matter of sending a paper to pierce the window paper was done by Liu Yuanming's "old indignant youth", Feng Jianxiong had already dissuaded it but it was ineffective. (If Liu Yuanming really did this for the sake of fame and profit, then outsiders would of course mistake him for an old and angry youth.) οΌ
"This Mr. Feng is ......" Shao Kai on the side raised his hand slightly to let Du Qiuming explain.
After all, Shao Kai didn't care about every signature on those papers, he just looked at the conclusions and the legal documents of the formal organs.
Moreover, the slight unnaturalness and avoidance in Du Qiuming's expression just now had already made him realize something.
Du Qiuming had no choice but to explain: "Mr. Shao, the culprit who caused the failure of your company's plan is this kid." Don't look at him as a graduate student, his means are despicable, and now he is famous in the industry. I admit that I was inspired by this colleague in the first place to make a profit by exploiting the loopholes in the interpretation of the validity of the RRB's decision. However, when he found out that someone was following suit, he voluntarily disclosed all the secrets to academic journals. Originally, your company will be able to get the national high-tech enterprise ...... this year"
"Eh, you can't talk nonsense, I'm obviously here to apologize, Mr. Du, the paper was sent by Professor Liu, I just couldn't stop him - you know, if he doesn't disclose it, I can at least make another 10 million by this way." β
Of course, the figure of 10 million is calculated to a high place, and it does not take into account the decline after the price war of peers. But Feng Jianxiong used it to brag, and others couldn't hear it for a while.
Du Qiuming couldn't help but laugh angrily: "You couldn't stop him? Hehe, you treat us as three-year-old children? Cutting off people's financial resources is like killing your parents, and Liu Yuanming has no more value for you, which is nothing more than a doctorate in two years." At the level of you and me, the doctor is a fart! If it weren't for your connivance, he would have to send out the article if he could make you lose 10 million?"
Feng Jianxiong was not angry at all, and shrugged his shoulders contemptuously: "That's because 10 million is just a drizzle in my opinion, and it's not as valuable as my friendship with Professor Liu, isn't itβah, I understand, you are a poor man who can only earn tens of millions a year when you live to be forty or fifty years old, and you can't understand how much friendship is worth in the hearts of rich people." β
As he spoke, Feng Jianxiong turned to Shao Kai on the side and asked in a seemingly fair tone: "Mr. Shao, you can imagine that if you Wang Dong were standing here today and asked him to choose between losing 100 million and losing a friend, how would he choose?"
Shao Kai was just watching the play, but he couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "What a big breath, what qualifications do you have to compare with our Wang Dong." β
"Just because my name is Feng Jianxiong. Feng Jianxiong said loudly, "Tens of millions of things a year, that I did in my spare time when I was studying." I'm going to graduate this year, and I'm going to do my business wholeheartedly, so I have to do it by an order of magnitude or two, right? That kind of tens of millions of change, I don't have time to bend down to pick it up. β
As soon as these words came out, there were facts as evidence, and Du Qiuming was really hard to refute. Shao Kai didn't know much about Feng Jianxiong's historical achievements, but seeing that Du Qiuming didn't refute it with a dark face, he knew that what Feng Jianxiong said was true.
A person who can earn so much by sharing a little spare time during his studies is still very credible to say that there are endless ideas in his head to make more money.
Feng Jianxiong saw that the situation was favorable, and pursued after the victory: "Catch the loophole of the review committee, and before I get the lawyer's certificate, I can't help it, try the water." Now that I have the certificate, how many big things are waiting for me.
I came today, in addition to apologizing to Mr. Du, I also said to Mr. Shao by the way: When doing business, you can't just try to be cheap, but you still have to make a little brighter in the future and find someone who is really capable to cooperate. Expecting to rely on those knowledge setters to give you 'cost-effective' legal services, it is not good to miss a major event in the end. If anyone thinks they can do the same thing as me, I would rather earn less and teach him to be a low-key person. β
"Do you want to take over the work of our company?" Shao Kai was a little strange, but also a little proud.
Although the person in front of him seems to be more awesome than Du Qiuming (in some ways), he is still a supplier after all, and he has a request.
Therefore, Shao Kai is not afraid of Feng Jianxiong.
"Anyone can do it, not necessarily your company. But if you choose to be my enemy, it's best to publicize it openly, in this case, your company will be unlucky, and you won't be able to do anything, and others will also blame me for making a bad mistake, right? β
"Young man, you're arrogant. Don't think that the legal circle is a place where you can mix for a lifetime with accurate vision. I advise you to be a low-key person, you can't have new ideas popping up all your life. When you Jiang Lang is finished...... "Shao Kai was obviously angry, and wanted to show off the old qualifications of his predecessors, so that the younger cubs would be a little more humble.
It's a pity that Feng Jianxiong didn't appreciate it: "When Jiang Lang is finished, it doesn't exist." Isn't it enough to use an idea for two years? If you can't come up with a more profitable idea in two years? What do you do with your brain on your neck? Eat?"
Since Shao Kai didn't appreciate it, Feng Jianxiong continued to squat. Among the few customers who Du Qiuming offended by this failure, the remaining few were dug up.
He was not afraid of offending one of Du Qiuming's many customers.
Pick one out, and then let them out, let them "Unless your hardware indicators are all up to standard, otherwise Lao Tzu said that if you don't become a national high-tech enterprise, you won't be allowed to become a national high-tech enterprise." In the end, if he can cash in, does Feng Jianxiong still need to take the initiative to pick up those big customers?
Others will take the initiative to send legal services and consulting services to him out of fear of paying protection money.
