Text Chapter 106, Law Firm
Looking at Chen Dazhuang, who was sitting opposite, drinking black tea, Lei Weidong nodded slightly.
Chen Dazhuang is very famous in Hong Kong, and he is especially good at commercial disputes among the royal powers, and he has never been defeated in recent years, and his achievements are very dazzling.
Looking at his dress and demeanor now, he is also meticulous, even when meeting clients, he tries to maintain neither humility nor arrogance, which is very rare for a barrister who has already achieved fame.
Lei Weidong employs people, the most important thing is to look at character, because he knows his weaknesses, even if he is a human being in two lives, but his ability in management is still very poor, so he must require good character for employees, and he can't let his subordinates pit themselves.
Therefore, for Chen Dazhuang, Lei Weidong inquired very carefully, and investigated Chen Dazhuang's personality over and over again, because Lei Weidong was very satisfied with Chen Dazhuang's business ability, and Chen Dazhuang only handled so many negotiations in the United States, not only did not let Lei Weidong suffer, but also made a lot of cheap, when signing the contract, whether it was contract drafting or review, he did it seamlessly, and he was a rare talent.
Lei Weidong was very satisfied with the results of the investigation, although Chen Dazhuang is not a saint, but among these royal barristers in Hong Kong who only recognize money but not people, Chen Dazhuang is a more conscientious person.
Especially on weekdays, Chen Dazhuang will do some public interest lawyer activities from time to time, donate to charity funds from time to time, and treat the elderly at home with filial piety.
With the continuous expansion of Xiaomi's business around the world, it is no longer enough to rely on temporary lawyers to take care of it, and it has become a top priority to set up a special law firm of Lei Weidong and have its own lawyers, and to establish a law firm, you must find a partner in the legal profession.
The first vice chairman and partner, Lei Weidong chose this Chen Dazhuang, and invited him out today, that is, to talk and see how his heart is.
It is said that many lawyers do not have the concept of black and white justice, they only care about whether they can win the lawsuit they receive, and it does not matter in their hearts whether the client has committed a crime or not.
Although Chen Dazhuang does not express this concept on weekdays, Lei Weidong is not at ease, a vice chairman with good character must meet Lei Weidong's assessment standards in all aspects.
"I followed my father to Hong Kong when I fled from Jiangsu and Zhejiang during the war, and when I first came, I was poor and white, so I followed my father to set up a stall, put leather shoes on people's shoes, and went to school while working, and after decades of struggle, I have today's achievements." Chen Dazhuang smiled and said:
"What I don't like the most is those mainlanders who have just come to Hong Kong for a few days and regard the mainland as their enemies, and they are even farther away from the mainland than Hong Kong natives. However, their various radical activities also make Hong Kong people worry and fear that they will end up in the same fate as before, and they look down on mainlanders in Hong Kong, which is this kind of mentality! ”
"It is common sense to hope that people are poor and people are rich, but now that the mainland's economy has begun to transform, with the mainland's strong heritage, it is not a dream to surpass Hong Kong in a few years, and Hong Kong is China's territory after all, and there will always be a day when it returns?" Lei Weidong said with a smile, it will be so difficult that he will look down on mainlanders like now.
Chen Dazhuang smiled when he heard this, but he didn't say much, you must know that lawyers are very sensitive to political topics and are reluctant to talk more. I just said so much just to show Lei Weidong an attitude, although Lei Weidong did not express his thoughts, but some of his actions still show a good impression of the mainland, as for the rest, it is not suitable to talk about it now.
Seeing Chen Dazhuang's appearance, Lei Weidong smiled again; "I want to open my own law firm, but you know the regulations in Hong Kong, the legal representative of the law firm must be a lawyer, and I will only invest in the company and will not manage it, of course, I don't know many lawyers, so I want to cooperate with you, I don't know if you are willing to do so."
Sure enough, he wanted to invest, Chen Dazhuang thought about it, looked at Lei Weidong and said; "Lei Shao, I thank you for looking at me, but you must know that I already have a law firm, and it would be a bit of a waste to open one."
Lei Weidong waved his hand, interrupting what Chen Dazhuang wanted to say later; "Brother Chen, I didn't open a law firm to make a lot of money all at once, mainly to serve my own company, and it doesn't conflict with your business at all, you can merge your own law firm if you want. Let's put it this way, even if there is no other business, but my corporate business will feed this law firm. ”
Seeing Chen Dazhuang's hesitation, Lei Weidong knew that he had to take strong medicine, that is, to throw money. "Brother Chen, I am ready to invest 10 million to open this law firm, if you promise to come down, I will give you 20% of the shares, the initial investment does not require you to pay a penny, you just need to pull people up for me, and I will hand over the company to you to be responsible.
10 million is not a small amount, it is only 1977, it can be said that the income of an ordinary Hong Kong citizen is only about 2,000 Hong Kong dollars a month, even if those barristers are at most tens of thousands a month. It is already good for a senior barrister like Chen Dazhuang to earn 780,000 yuan a year. It can be said that Lei Wei Dongguang's shares to Chen Dazhuang and others will take him several years to earn.
And more importantly, Lei Weidong has his own career, you must know that he is only 14 years old, who would have thought what he would develop into in the future. It can be said that with the support of Lei Weidong in the back, then the law firm will definitely develop and grow, and the financial resources will be rolling, and the law firm will become one of the top law firms in Hong Kong in a few or more years, and it is not a dream to achieve business in Japan and Southeast Asia, at that time only 20% of the shares, Chen Dazhuang and others can also become billionaires.
So hearing Lei Weidong's conditions, Chen Dazhuang thought about it, although he was reluctant to have the business in his hand, but finally agreed, and promised to go back and discuss it with his subordinates, try to pull them all over, of course, Chen Dazhuang also knew who his companions were, and when he brought in, he had to share a little of his own shares.
The reason why Lei Weidong treats Chen Dazhuang well and gives him shares is that he hopes that his company can form a complete industrial chain, and the development model of Thomas Company Group can become a predator of capital.
Because the main purpose of opening a law firm now is to prepare for their own accounting company, the law firm can provide enough help for their own industries in the future, even if it doesn't make money, it doesn't matter, after all, there is a law firm, and they have a huge team of lawyers, which is very important for the development and growth of a society in Hong Kong, where capital is king and money is supreme.
And this is just to prepare for his own accounting company, Lei Weidong must have his own financial accounting company, to know that he will have a lot of companies in the future, it is impossible to seize the financial power of each company, so he must have his own accounting company to conduct regular audits.
The accounting company must have professional legal talents, so it can be said that every link of Lei Weidong's industry must be able to be buckled.
