Chapter 75 Law Firms

After receiving the check written by Sherlock, Ye Chen did not refuse, he made so much effort in this incident, basically it was Ye Chen's credit to be able to catch Merck, whether he would join them or not, Ye Chen would take the money, and with this money, he would be able to make it easier for him in the future.

The next day, Ye Chen took Sherlock and the others to Ye Cong's law firm, after all, such a large amount of money was involved, Ye Chen still had to ask his eldest brother to help him prepare a commission agreement, otherwise it would be difficult to use the money after getting it.

In the heart of Liverpool city centre, Yip has rented a ground floor of a business building as the office. The collaborator was Al Jefferson, a Liverpool native who was well known throughout the UK as a lawyer from Pinsent Masons. After leaving Pinsent Masons, the two set up their own practice in Liverpool, and after about 10 years of development, they are basically one of the most famous law firms in Liverpool.

Walking out of the elevator, the entire 12th floor is occupied by Yip's Law Firm, with its signboard on the transparent glass door. The desks in the lobby are where the interns work, and the other signature lawyers have their own independent offices, and Ye Cong's office is in the innermost.

Ye Chen had already told Ye Cong the news before he came, and the secretary asked them to wait in the lounge for Ye Cong's consultation to end.

"Very nice office, much more luxurious than our place." Sherlock sat in his chair and sipped the office's coffee, looking around in admiration.

After Watson paused, he couldn't help but mock: "If you could take on more useful cases, we would have a bigger office a long time ago." ”

"John, no, no. The cases that children can think of are so boring that they either can't figure it out or I can't catch them. Obviously, Sherlock and Watson's concepts are still a little different, and it is estimated that Watson is accommodating his partner, otherwise they would have broken up a long time ago.

Ye Chen listened to them mocking each other, but he always felt that it was full of sentiment, and he couldn't help but have a cold war. Fortunately, Ye Cong's secretary came over in time to interrupt them.

"Big brother, this is the Sherlock detective from London." When Ye Chen walked into Ye Cong's office, he was the only one inside, introducing him to these two detectives.

"Hello, Mr. Holmes and Mr. Watson." Ye Cong has worked hard in the legal profession for so many years, so he naturally knows the influential people in London.

Ye Cong was not surprised that these two people had sent invitations to Ye Chen. His younger brother will definitely be valued for having such a special ability, and I can't imagine that they want him to be a detective.

"I just drafted this agreement, you can see if there are any problems." This is the agreement that Ye Cong drafted according to the case of their arrest of Merck after receiving Ye Chen's call, and noted the remuneration that Ye Chen will receive.

The agreement is very simple, and Sherlock and they intend to give this part of the reward to Ye Chen, so there will be basically no trap clauses, and after browsing it, they signed it, and the money officially belongs to Ye Chen.

With that done, Sherlock and the others left the office, and they had to take the train back to London for the day.

"That's right, Xiao Chen. Earned such a large sum of money so quickly. Ye Cong saw his brother put away the check, and he was also happy for him.

This is the first time Ye Chen has made so much money, since he started working until now, the money in his bank card has not exceeded 20,000 pounds, and he can't imagine that he can earn so much at one time.

"Big brother, what do you think of this detective industry?" Ye Chen was still unsure whether he would agree to Sherlock's invitation.

Ye Cong thought for a while and said, "Actually, being able to make so much money this time also happened to a special case. However, this kind of case is not common, for example, I have never heard of wizards and werewolves in all my years of being a lawyer. ”

"Ordinary detectives usually deal with some ordinary cases, and some are commercial espionage, so they don't have a business like this that can make 100,000 yuan."

At present, there are about 400 private detective agencies in the UK, and there are more than 2,000 private detectives alone. Moreover, they are still scattered all over the country, and their institutions are relatively small, and they undertake some simple investigation work.

"It seems that no matter what industry it is, there is a difference between big fish, small fish and dried shrimp." Only then did Ye Chen understand the situation of the detective industry, and it was not born and died every day to decide the detection of the case. On the contrary, they are more privately hired to investigate some private matters, just like the "paparazzi" in China.

"However," Ye Cong's voice changed, "these two people are not ordinary detectives, regardless of their background, just by their ability, they have become the favorite of all the detectives in London." ”

Ye Cong praised Sherlock and the two, according to what he knew, these two people still had a certain amount of influence in the British government, and even the British royal family had asked them to help.

"It's up to you to decide exactly how to do it, think about what you like to do, and now you're not in a hurry to use the money." Ye Cong did not make a decision for Ye Chen, he thought that this matter should be decided by Ye Chen himself.

"Your visa has been transferred to the name of the firm, you can come here as an intern at any time, and you can still be a lawyer if you pass the examination."

Although a bachelor's degree in law is generally required to become a solicitor in the UK, there are other alternatives to a degree. The legal profession belongs to the middle and upper income levels in Europe and the United States, and an ordinary lawyer in the UK earns almost more than 60,000 pounds a year, while a barrister like Ye Cong earns hundreds of thousands, or even more than one million pounds a year.

"Forget it, big brother, I can't be a lawyer, let me stand in the court seriously, it's uncomfortable to think about it." Ye Chen's temperament is relatively out-of-the-box, and he is unwilling to do such serious work.

"We don't have to go to court for all lawyers, we have a lot of lawyers to consult. Besides, you thought it would be that easy to go to court. Ye Cong is very willing for his younger brother to enter the lawyer industry, he has already paved the way, as long as Ye Chen wants to progress in this, he can spare no effort to help. But it seems that this idea is not working.

"I'd better think about how to train Jason in the future, right?" Seeing that Ye Chen disagreed, Ye Cong laughed at himself.

Hearing this, Ye Chen also said with a smile: "If Jason wants to be a football player in the future, he won't sit in the office in a uniform and be serious." ”

"It's all because you always take him to play, otherwise how could this be." Ye Cong complained in annoyance.

"By the way, big brother, what do you think is better for me to invest this money?" Ye Chen didn't want to put his money in the bank, but wanted to find a suitable project to invest in.
