Chen Chen, who woke up in the morning, went out to look at the room after washing, but after walking out of the hotel, the people around him looked at him strangely, when a man with this newspaper recognized himself against the newspaper, Chen Chen finally knew what was going on.
But his first reaction after reading the newspaper was, "Yes, you took a pretty handsome picture of me." "Then I don't care about it, what if William is a prince, what if Vincent is an earl, he has a dime to do with him.
Seeing so many people watching him is not a problem, standing on the side of the road and waving to a car, after getting in the car, he asks, "Hello sir, who is in charge of real estate, do you know?" β
The taxi driver looked back at him and said, "Sir, do you want to buy a house or inherit an inheritance, if you want to buy a house, unless you are a British citizen, the cost of buying a house is much higher than the house itself." β
Chen Chen thought for a moment and said, "It should be regarded as an inheritance, I don't know very well." β
When the driver heard that it was an inheritance, he said, "Oh my God, if your estate is an estate, then you need to pay a large amount of inheritance tax, depending on the size of your estate, you are sure to inherit, you know that many people give up their inheritance because of inheritance tax." β
After hearing this, Chen Chen expressed his understanding, and then said, "So, do you know who to look for, can you take me there?" β
After listening to this, the driver said, "Of course, it is best to find a lawyer, I know that there is a law firm that can introduce you." β
Chen Chen nodded, "Then let's go, I'm in a hurry"
"Okay sir will be here soon" After speaking, he seemed to be very excited, the car was moving quickly on the road, and the more Chen Chen went, the more unreliable he felt.
"Sir, this is here, don't look at it very shabby, in fact, the lawyers in it are very powerful, but they are too principled, so you know that the current barristers don't like principled lawyers very much, especially the kind that has just graduated." The driver looked outside and said, with an embarrassed expression on his face, it seems that he has just started to solicit customers here.
Chen Chen looked at the dilapidated street and faΓ§ade, the signboard on it said Damon Law Firm, but the signboard was about to fall, and the small alley here was also occupied by a few gangsters, who were secretly looking at Chen Chen and them at the door.
I secretly sighed in my heart, forget it, I'll take a look at it, if it doesn't work, I'll change it.
Looking at the driver, Chen Chen said, "Is it your relative or friend?" β
The driver saw Chen Chen's face even redder, obviously this middle-aged man was an honest man and rarely did this kind of tricky thing.
The driver hesitated and said, "You have guessed, that's right, it's my son, don't mind, I don't charge you for the car, I'll give you free of charge wherever you want to go, as long as you can give my son a chance." β
It seemed that seeing that Chen Chen was still hesitating, the driver said again, "Sir, I don't need you to promise anything now, I just hope that you can let my son try it in front of you, if you think it's okay, then leave it to him, okay?" β
After saying that, these drivers were silent, looking at Chen Chen with pleading eyes, Chen Chen sighed, he knew that the person in front of him just wanted to ask his son for a chance, and the good of fathers in the world was really the same, they just wanted to help their children, although sometimes the children did not appreciate it.
Chen Chen looked at the dilapidated office, "Okay, I'll go in and take a look, if he doesn't have the strength, I won't hand over my affairs to him, do you understand?" By the way, aren't you going in with me? β
The driver was very happy to hear that Chen Chen promised to go in and have a look, but after hearing Chen Chen invite him to go in together, he said helplessly, "I won't go in, he doesn't want me to come to him, I'll just wait for you in the car." β
Chen Chen shrugged his shoulders and said that it didn't matter, and then walked in, and the space inside was not large, only one hundred and ten square meters, but it was enough as an independent office, and there was a young man behind the desk inside who was constantly on the phone.
"Hey! Is it a wild company? Didn't you say you wanted legal aid last time? Who am I? I'm Damon, on ~~ Hey, are you still there? Shet"
"Hello, what do you think of what I told you last time, yes, it's what you said about custody, no, no, you listen to me, I'm not worse than those barristers, and my fees are very cheap, what, you've already found a barrister, okay, I wish you success"
Damon put down the phone, and the whole person fell limply on the chair like a deflated balloon, muttering "Why, I just need a chance, why don't you all give it to me." β
"Buckle, the opportunity is not given by others, it is grasped by myself, can I come in?" Chen Chen stood at the door and knocked on the open door.
Damon saw that someone was coming and quickly sat up straight, you must know that except for the landlord who usually comes here when he collects rent, even the rats don't want to come here at other times, Damon looked at the person who came and said, "Please come in, hello, this is Damon Law Firm, please sit down What do you have..." β
Although it was very rude for Chen Chen to quickly interrupt him, he didn't have time to listen to his nonsense, "I can give you a chance, it depends on whether you can help me do this, if you can do it, I can ask you to be my personal lawyer, of course, provided that you do it." β
"Of course, sir, as long as it is related to the law, whether it is an economic dispute, or an inheritance, or a legal action, there is no problem" Damon replied quickly, the opportunity has come, and he will come to operate in time.
"It's inheritance, but I only have a title deed, no will, of course, I'm not British yet, but I think you can help me solve this," Chen Chen said about his situation.
Damon frowned when he heard this situation, but he still replied: "Only the title deed is fine, as long as there is money called inheritance tax, it's a bit difficult to do, but it's not British." β
"You can help me with the nationality problem, I think if I become a British citizen, it will be fine, right?" Chen Chen replied easily, nationality is not a difficult thing, as long as you have money.
"That's no problem, when do you need me to handle it for you?" Damon looked a little impatient.
"Do you have time now? Or now," Chen Chen replied, the sooner the manor arrives, the better, so that he can rest assured.
"No problem, I have time at any time," Damon replied immediately, maybe I wouldn't have to come back here after today, looking at the lower room where he had been for a few years, his eyes were full of disgust.
He didn't like the environment here at all, but he couldn't compromise his principles with those barristers, so he had to stay here in the end, he thought that lawyers should have a bottom line instead of having their own bottom line for money, although now his bottom line has been very low, but there is more noble than nothing.
Damon, who came out with Chen Chen, saw the taxi outside the door, his face became a little ugly, and when he arrived outside the door, Damon yelled at the driver, "Who asked you to come here, I don't need you to come here to see me, I don't need your pity." β
Chen Chen looked at the excited Damon and the embarrassed driver who didn't know what to do, and finally relieved the driver.
"He's my driver, and he said there's a great lawyer here, and he's a very principled person, so I'm here, but it doesn't seem like this lawyer's character is very perfect, at least you have to be grateful to the person who helped you find the opportunity, you know? He always thought you were his pride, but what did you give him? You gave him a yell, are you still going to run errands with me? Chen Chen doesn't like to dare to yell at his father, no matter what his parents are right or wrong, as long as their original intention is for your good, you shouldn't yell at them (personal opinion, if you can't get used to it, just spray)
Damon's face was red and white for a while, but in the end he got into his father's car, Damon's father was very happy, this was the first time his son took the initiative to get into his car after graduation "Sir, where are you going?" β
"This, you have to ask Damon, he knows, I don't know, by the way, what is your name, how about being a driver for me, I still lack a driver." Chen Chen said leisurely.
"Private chauffeur? Of course I do, my name is David. Well, Damon sue sΓΉ where do I go? David looked at his son, a little unsure of how to communicate with him.
"Go to the town hall" is a very short sentence, in fact, Damon doesn't know how to communicate with his father.
After arriving at the city hall, Damon took Chen Chen to find the department in charge of inheritance affairs, and after showing his lawyer's card, he met the head of the department.
"Hello, I'm a judge of the High Court of London, and I heard that you have something to do with the inheritance of property" came an old man in his sixties.
Damon stood up and bowed to the old man and said, "Hello, Your Excellency, this is the case, my client has a title deed to inherit, but he does not have a will, we don't know what to do in such a situation, so we have come to ask for advice." β
"Oh! Title deed, you can pass by and I have a look" The judge said to Damon, who looked at Chen Chen.
When Chen Chen heard that he wanted to see the title deed, he replied "no problem", so he took the title deed out of his backpack.
"Oh~ It's actually a title deed in the Middle Ages, which is rare, you must know that such a title deed is difficult to inherit even if the place is still there, I'll see where it is, it's here, young man, your luck is very good, Lake Vernui Manor is located in Wills Powys County, the area is 2 Manhattan, New York, USA. The estate has been publicly sold by the authorities, and the transaction price was 11oo million pounds at that time, but no one has taken it, and it is still under the jurisdiction of the government, this estate is huge, and you have to pay a high inheritance tax, are you prepared? The old judge seemed to have a good impression of Chen Chen, and said very kindly to Chen Chen.
Chen Chen almost jumped up excitedly when he heard that he could really inherit it, "Can I really inherit it, hasn't it been auctioned by the government, although it was not sold, but it was taken over by the government, can I still get it back?" β
"Of course, child, you have this title deed, as long as you pay enough inheritance tax, you can get your estate back, the valuation of this estate is 11 million pounds, then you have to pay 40 percent tax, that is, wanton 10,000 pounds, oh my God, boy, it's so expensive, with this money you can buy better land instead of inheritance" The old judge calculated and felt that it was not worth it.
"Wait, Your Excellency, I remember that the rate of inheritance tax should be fifteen percent, why forty percent" Damon hurriedly spoke, he didn't expect Chen Chen to inherit such a large area, if he succeeded in becoming his personal legal counsel, then how much money would he have a year, hurry up and fight for the benefits he deserves for his patrons, and deepen his role.
