"Uh-huh! You guessed it. When I was in college, my parents used to pour red wine for a while, and then they switched careers to do something else, but the relationship is still there, and if you want, I can get you a few bottles of Lafite, discounted. Yun Qiao bared his teeth and smiled.

"Okay, I've seen it, you're the real person who doesn't show up." Zhou Ying gave a thumbs up and said, "But Western food doesn't have a good appetite for me, I haven't eaten enough, what should I do?" ”

"Needless to say, I'll treat you to a big meal, and the restaurant is up to you." Yun Qiao said happily.

"Really! Forget it, you can make that little money a month......" Zhou Ying said. She also came from a trainee lawyer, so she naturally knows the treatment of trainee lawyers in the firm.

"We have the funds...... No, there is a family subsidy, let's go, it's okay to have an occasional meal. Yun Qiao hugged Zhou Ying's arm and reached out to stop a taxi.

……

On Monday morning, Fang Yi sat in his office, pondering about the eight million yuan in income. In fact, there are many criminal litigation cases in the team, but most of them are relatively low, all of them are less than 50,000 yuan. In the first half of the year, he has generated nearly 4 million income, and if he wants to generate 5 million in the second half of the year, according to the current charging situation, he has to do more than 100 cases, and Fang Yi is full of iron and can hit a few nails.

So he wanted to open more channels and find some big criminal cases. But in criminal proceedings, you can't always ask if there is a criminal case in the family to fight, in that case, it will be the same as the coffin seller knocking on the door and asking if anyone in the family has died, and he will be scolded.

After thinking about it, Fang Yi felt that if he wanted to handle a case with a high fee, he could only try his luck, so it was better to focus on the team's case source first, and do his best to obey the destiny of God.

Just when Fang Yi was worried about generating eight million income, Wan Kefa next door was drinking tea while his brain was running rapidly.

The tea in the cup is good tea, and there is a faint fragrance of tea in the office, but Wan Kefa has no taste in his mouth, for no other reason, he has something in his heart, and he has no intention of tasting tea.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and Hua Liancheng walked in and sat opposite Wan Kefa with an expressionless face.

"You're here to be a lobbyist?" Wan Kefa looked up at him and asked.

"I said no, do you believe it?" Hua Liancheng's eyes were complicated and he looked at the old man who had been fighting in the same trench for many years.

"What do you think?" Wan Kefa poured him a cup of tea.

"Looking at the large law firms in the country, most of them have the shadow of capital behind them, and we are in a corner, and we have made some fame and scale locally, but if there is no large amount of capital operation, it may be difficult to go to the province.

This is also not in the interests of the first and second level partners, so I would like to borrow a boat to go to sea. Hua Liancheng picked up the teacup, organized the language, and said.

"But have you ever wondered how much space we have once the capital comes in? Capital is profit-seeking, and law firms will become purely profit-making organizations in the future, like a company, should they set KPIs for lawyers? Wan Kefa argued.

"Isn't it good for a law firm to grow like a company? In recent years, all walks of life have been innovating and developing rapidly, and our law firm is still a traditional model, you look at the domestic counterparts, there are many law firms after the introduction of capital, the scale of the scale, has obtained good returns. Some law firms are essentially set up with capital contributions, and aren't they all developing very well? Hua Liancheng asked rhetorically.

"Is it really good? You have done more non-litigation than me, which company you have seen is not to make the boss, let the investors' pockets bulge? And any one that is really good to employees, really good to customers, and really good to the country, is speculating.

If you look at the law firms that have introduced capital, how many negative news have come out, the scale is large, but the quality is not good, it is no different from a big car shop, in the high-end business, whether it is litigation or non-litigation, it is not competitive at all, what is the meaning of a rabble. In the disorderly and vicious competition in the low-end business, the lawyers of our firm pry into each other.

In recent years, have lawyers across the country stepped on fewer pits? Working hard for a year but not getting a commission, or only a small part of a month, the law firm has a large amount of money on its books, but in fact, it is diverted by the investor to buy the fund and make investment.

Why are there so many small lawyers, and why do lawyers prefer to set up their own bag law firms rather than enter big law firms, because there is no place to borrow, only exploitation.

Relying on scale to win is the practice of capital, because they need to see profits quickly, and the capital side will not care about the future development of the law firm. Law firms and lawyers are a piece of fat in their eyes, and they covet the cash flow of large law firms. Wan Kefa stood up excitedly.

"Lao Wan, don't get excited. Sit down, sit down and talk slowly. Hua Liancheng organized the language, changed the angle, and comforted: "I know that you have feelings for this law firm, and I am also a founding partner, and I also have feelings for the law firm." But this is the general trend......"

"Anyway, I don't agree with this, as a service organization, the law firm must be independent and cannot be controlled by capital. It is also necessary to keep the customer's trade secrets confidential.

Once the capital enters, you know who is standing behind them, and whether there is any competition with existing clients, Lao Hua, we are responsible for the confidentiality of our clients' business, and we must ensure the independent operation of the law firm. Wan Kefa said with a glare.

Wan Kefa is not a mercenary person, he is a lawyer with pursuits, he has worked in law all his life, and at this age, making money is no longer the most important thing for him.

He has witnessed the progress of the rule of law in China, although it is very difficult, many lawyers have made sacrifices, and of course, many lawyers have changed careers because of disappointment, but after all, with the joint efforts of legal people, there has been progress.

WAGO Law is a person with ideals, and does not want the law firm to become a tool for others to make huge profits, ruining the brand of Wanhua United Law Firm.

"Everything can be discussed, isn't it now that I have to give up the management rights of the law firm without saying it!" Hua Liancheng persuaded.

"Forget it, the capital side just sees that our law firm is large and has a certain influence in the local area, and the ultimate goal is to buy this law firm with money and pick peaches.

Even if you say that you don't participate in the operation and invest a lot of money, is the capital really so relieved that you will burn money? Don't forget the essence of capital...... who will do it if you don't have a little grip! Sooner or later, the way the law firm operates and finances will have to be left to others.

Capital definitely wants us to develop rapidly, but the risks in this are not borne by others, and the ultimate risks are all on our law firm and partners. Do you think it's worth it? Wan Kefa took a sip of tea and sighed.

"Okay, let's put this matter aside for the time being, and we'll talk about it at the end of the year." Hua Liancheng saw that he couldn't persuade Wan Kefa, so he got up and left the office.
