Text Chapter 105, Law Firm
In fact, there is a natural obstacle to any professional elite, that is, regional and industry.
The Japanese elite may not be able to eat well in China, and the American genius may not be able to revive the bankrupt enterprises in Europe, all because of regional differences, which lead to differences in culture and ideas.
Not to mention the industry, the saying that interlacing is like separating mountains has been circulating for a long time, even if it is now popular to interline.
But it is undeniable that there are also quite a few people who have succeeded.
The success of those multinational enterprises depends on the elites who can be used no matter where they are pulled and what they do.
Once a person can break through the limitations of geography, culture and industry, then he is not a talent in one city and one place, but definitely a talent who can open up territory.
Chen Dazhuang has always felt that he is the kind of talent who can open up territory.
Although Hong Kong is prosperous, although it has a huge population base of more than 3 million people, it is too small, the stage is too narrow, and the daily things are just a few things that go back and forth.
For a queen's barrister like him, he has reached the pinnacle of the profession of lawyer in Hong Kong, and there is no possibility of any breakthrough.
Even if he has a car and a house, a wife and children, a high social status, and a decent career, Chen Dazhuang is not satisfied at all, because he is only 43 years old this year, not 63 years old, and it is the time to work hard.
But here's the problem, because of the British colony in Hong Kong, Hong Kong's legal system is different from the rest of Asia, and even Southeast Asia, even Taiwan, which currently has a good relationship with Hong Kong, is the same, and it is difficult for him to reach in, let alone other regions.
As for going to the UK, as a top student in a British law school, Chen Dazhuang knows that the British are arrogant and discriminatory, and it is impossible for him to get involved as a Chinese in the British legal community.
As for doing other industries, Chen Dazhuang knows his weaknesses, and he is invincible as a lawyer and fighting lawsuits, but he can't do business, otherwise the law firm would not be half-dead after being established for so long, and it will all rely on himself to support it.
Therefore, Chen Dazhuang has been looking for opportunities, and he is also looking for nobles who can help him, preferably those wealthy families in Hong Kong, because Hong Kong's wealthy families are famous in the whole of Southeast Asia, and if they support him, he will definitely be able to go to the next level. It's a pity that these families have their own royal lawyers, and they don't look down on themselves at all.
Therefore, after receiving the invitation of his old friend Liu Yueqin, Chen Dazhuang readily agreed to Liu Yueqin's invitation to accompany Lei Weidong to handle those things.
Of course, at the beginning, Chen Dazhuang didn't look down on Lei Weidong at all, and just treated this business as an ordinary legal consultation, but after following Lei Weidong for a period of time, Chen Dazhuang was impressed by Lei Weidong's vision.
You must know that the current Hong Kong Chinese billionaires are doing business in Hong Kong, generally making money in Hong Kong, at most going to Taiwan and Southeast Asia, and even Japan is rare. Not to mention going to the United States to make money.
As for Lei Weidong, although he was running around in the United States during this time, there was no regularity, but after Chen Dazhuang carefully analyzed, he found that Lei Weidong's ambition was unimaginable, and Lei Weidong's speed of making money was also unimaginable.
Although he went to university in the UK, Chen Dazhuang also has many classmates in the United States who work in the legal field, and after communicating with these friends, Chen Dazhuang found that Lei Weidong's "Transformers" can be said to be a huge gold mine.
According to the information I have learned recently, the sales of "Transformers" in the United States can only be described in two words, that is, crazy. It's fair to say that no matter how many Transformers comics and toys you put into the market, the market will be sucked dry like a sponge.
After careful calculation, "Transformers" will generate at least tens of billions of dollars in wealth, and Lei Weidong, who holds the copyright, will have billions of dollars in wealth even if he only earns one-tenth of it. This is the rhythm of becoming the richest man in Hong Kong.
Chen Dazhuang, who was interested enough in Lei Weidong, quickly collected all the information about Lei Weidong, and I have to say that Chen Dazhuang's title of senior barrister is not called in vain, and he has friends at all levels, and soon Lei Weidong has a certain understanding of the contract signed with the Japanese company, as well as the sales situation in Xiaomi.
Because Lei Weidong said that he was the majority shareholder of Apple when he invested in Microsoft. After returning to Hong Kong, Chen Dazhuang specially collected information in this regard.
At this time, Chen Dazhuang found that a tycoon who already had hundreds of millions of dollars in assets almost made himself mistaken.
Apple is currently the hottest high-tech company in the United States, and its stock is currently hard to find, in the words of many people, as long as Apple goes public in a few years, it is estimated that its market value will exceed at least $5 billion.
Lei Weidong alone will have a wealth of nearly one billion US dollars, which is more than the wealth of the richest man in Hong Kong at present, and Lei Weidong has only invested $1 million in these stocks. In this way, it seems that Microsoft, which was also invested by Lei Weidong, should not be underestimated in the future.
It can be said that if he can get in touch with Lei Weidong, he will also benefit a lot when Lei Weidong's career continues to take off in the future.
But what Chen Dazhuang didn't expect was that even though Lei Weidong had returned to Hong Kong, he had never contacted him, and after paying the money, it was like an ordinary business dealing.
Just when Chen Dazhuang was suffering from some gains and losses. He suddenly received a call from Lei Weidong, but he still had some gains and losses.
The place where Lei Weidong invited him to have afternoon tea was a high-end tea restaurant in the center of Hong Kong Island, and although it was an authentic Chaoshan food, the price was also very expensive because the chef was very big-name. It has always been only gold-collar people who come to drink tea.
The tea drinking of the people of eastern Guangdong is different from the Pengcheng people of Lei Weidong's previous life.
Tea drinking in eastern Guangdong includes eating and drinking, which can basically be understood as breakfast and tea, and dinner and tea in the afternoon.
The people of Pengcheng basically do not have the habit of drinking tea, and they usually eat three meals a day, which is the living habit of northerners.
In terms of eating and drinking, the people of Yuezhou and Pengcheng are almost the same, they are all varied, and they are particular about eating and drinking.
Pengcheng because it is located at the junction of the north and the south, it has been a traffic artery since ancient times, you can say that there is anything to eat, in Lei Weidong's memory, whether it is spicy Sichuan cuisine or Hunan Hunan cuisine and Huaiyang cuisine in the south can be eaten in Pengcheng, it can be said that there is no own characteristics of Pengcheng's recipes but the biggest feature.
However, in terms of the types of food, the types of food eaten by Cantonese people are far ahead in the country.
Of course, many snacks in Guangdong make outsiders a little creepy, and naturally they will not be on the table of this high-end tea restaurant.
Chen Dazhuang didn't care about food or anything, in his status, he had already tasted food.
What he cares about is Lei Weidong's attitude towards him and whether there is any possibility of cooperation in the future.
Chen Dazhuang now has his own small law firm and is well-known in the industry, but the company is not all his own.
Those barristers and practicing lawyers are all joined in the name of Chen Dazhuang, and they are a cooperation model between them, not a subordinate relationship, and it is easy to break up once there is any trouble.
Of course, Chen Dazhuang doesn't want the company to go on like this, but it is basically impossible to integrate the alliance into one company by his own strength. So he always wanted to bring in foreign aid. However, the big law firms in Hong Kong are basically run by powerful people.
Therefore, when Lei Weidong invited him to have afternoon tea, Chen Dazhuang prepared a lot of information and countermeasures in advance, preparing to win the appreciation of the big boss in one fell swoop, so as to obtain Lei Weidong's investment.
