Subtitle of this chapter: Talk about dreams even after a salary increase

Eating and drinking, Yuan Yanqian got into Mr. McCall's car and headed for the mahjong salon by the Hudson River. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

His personal lawyer asked for advice while driving: "Neo, is this doctor you hired really that powerful?" ”

Fortunately, this guy doesn't know Chinese.

Master Yuan burped and said, "Of course it's amazing, did I pick it myself?" ”

When John heard this, he asked, "Can he see my grandfather?" ”

His maternal grandfather was Mr. Darwin P. Kingsley, the current president of the New York Life Insurance Company and known as the "romantic poet of the insurance kingdom".

"Oh, your grandfather ......" Yuan Yanqian immediately nodded and said, "Of course you can!" ”

"Thank you so much." Mr. Lawyer said gratefully, "That's right, Mr. Yuan." I am honored to inform you that I am now a partner. A nominal partner at McCall & Sons! ”

Look at the difference between having a good grandfather and having a good father, this is becoming a nominal partner, how many years does it take for ordinary people to struggle?

Yuan Yanqian said happily: "Mr. McCall, I really want to congratulate you." Where is the office? I'm definitely going to send a flower basket over. ”

"Hehe......" John smiled awkwardly, "Actually, the office is in my house, and...... I only have you as a customer right now. ”

Well, he and his dad set up a two-person law firm. And old Mr. McCall is just a name.

"I understand." Our Master Yuan really understood what he meant, so he said very seriously, "Attorney John McCall, as your only big client, I am very satisfied with your performance so far!" ”

"As long as you keep it up and trust me, you're enough to have a customer like me......"

In a "civilized country" like the United States, where the country is governed by law, even if you are only a "literary master" who copies books, it is really difficult to move an inch without a lawyer.

Let's take the simplest example, let's say piracy. The novels "written" by Master Yuan must be best-sellers, and in the future, he may write things like "Ulysses" that no one can understand in order to pretend to be a big force. But when he writes this kind of book, the majority of readers will have to buy it even if they can't understand it, because he wrote it.

No one pirates best-selling novels in the United States? It's naïve, at least not the great writers of the nineteenth century, like Charles Dickens and Mark Twain. (note 1)

By 1920, piracy was still rampant in the United States. Especially folk piracy, because the mimeograph machine is really inexpensive and the operation is very simple, anyone can print books and newspapers in the basement or garage at home, and the copy of "Conservative" that loves craftsmanship is printed in this way. These private prints were put up for sale in bookstores.

Master Yuan's "Chocolate Love" and "Di Gong's Case" are estimated to ...... There is no need to estimate, there must already be such a copycat version.

If you want to defend your rights, you naturally have to fight a lawsuit, and it's not one or two lawsuits, but there are many lawsuits, so no lawyer team can succeed?

In fact, piracy is still a trivial matter and a small amount of money. There are two things that are really troublesome for Yuan Yanqian, one is how he makes money "legally", and the other is how he spends money "legally".

It looks simple, but in fact, these two "legal" are really knowledgeable.

Take the hundred-year-old mountain company in front of you as an example. Master Yuan and his "partners" were Chinese who could not own companies and do business in the United States, so they had to find heads and bag companies to help them hold shares. This is not over, in order to ensure their earnings and "tax avoidance", they have to deliberately mess up the shareholding structure of this company.

It's a little complicated to say, it's even more complicated to do, and it's "money laundry" and "tax avoidance". He would rather be tried by the BOI, which is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Justice, than deal with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) under the Ministry of Finance. (note 2)

So strictly speaking, this neoclassical liberal master and Hongmen tycoon who will definitely get involved in black in the future needs at least one publishing agent, a legal lawyer, a tax lawyer, and an accountant...... There is also a dentist. (note 3)

And his real ambition is to become the mastermind behind the troubles in the world, then he will not be able to put his legal affairs and financial dealings in the hands of ordinary people. What he wants is a person who is also intimate and close to his lungs. Of course, there must be a large team of professionals behind this own person.

All in all, Mr. John McCall has to grow fast to keep up with himself.

Our Master Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "John, I hired you to be the legal counsel of the Baisui Mountain Company. We don't have to bill by the hour anymore. In this case, you go back and draft a transfer agreement, and I will give you 10% of the shares of Baisuishan. Of course, you can't transfer it to someone else without my permission. ”

"Squeak!"

Hearing this, Mr. McCall simply stepped on the brakes and pulled the car to the side of the road.

John turned his head and looked at Yuan Yanqian carefully, "Say it, Neo." What the hell are you up to this time? ”

Yuan Yanqian calmly asked, "John, isn't it good to give you shares?" ”

"Of course not!" His lawyer shook his head, "But from what I know of you, you're not the kind of person who doesn't know how to settle accounts. ”

"Yes, I know you really don't care much about money, and with your ability, tens of thousands or even more dollars are at your fingertips."

"Neo, I'm not complimenting you as a big customer, but my grandfather told me that if I meet a customer who makes money but doesn't care about it, you have to hold on tightly."

"But seriously, I feel like you're caring about something else, and you're counting something else. You don't look like the red molecule on the outside, but you're a dangerous person on the inside. So ......"

He stared at his big client and said, "Please tell me what you're going to do?" ”

"Hahaha......"

Master Yuan really smiled very openly this time, and he suddenly realized that the person who knew him best at the moment was actually this little fat man. Again, Mr. John D. McCall is really a smart guy and will never go below 16 points according to the DND points.

So do you want to give him some breath......

Rather, is it to involve this wise man in his own great cause?

Our Master Yuan rolled down the window and took out a Cuban cigar from the inside pocket of his coat, this time he didn't handle it carefully, he bit off the envelope with his teeth and lit it directly.

He puffed out a cloud of green smoke and said in a leisurely voice, "John, do you have any dreams? ”

Mark Twain was even worse, he only got $3,000 a year in royalties. And many pirates made a fortune printing his books.

NOTE 2: The prestigious IRS was founded in 1862. President Lincoln set up this notorious tax agency in order to raise military spending.
