Chapter 1066: Spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain
On Friday morning, Fang Yi walked into Hua Liancheng's office.
"Lawyer Hua, are you busy?" Fang Yi asked with a smile after entering the door.
"Yo, it's Lawyer Fang. If you're not busy, what's your order? Hua Liancheng had a smile on his face, but he didn't feel it in his heart.
In the past, he was a partner, and Fang Yi was just a small lawyer under Wan Kefa, but since he followed the wrong person and stood in the wrong team, everything has changed.
He is now only a general partner of Sidley Austin LLP, while Fang Yi has become the successor of Wan Kefa and Du Sanniang, and will be at the helm of Sidley Austin Law Firm in the future.
Hua Liancheng didn't know Fang Yi very well, and he kept beating the drum in his heart, afraid that Fang Yi would target him after he took power, so he kept his posture very low, and really clamped his tail and behaved.
"Lawyer Hua, you're laughing. You are my senior, and you will not dare to say the word 'command' again in the future. We are colleagues, not superiors. Fang Yi showed sincere fear.
He knows that if he wants to run this law firm well, the first thing to do is to win people's hearts, and not let everyone go-for-tat, which is the so-called harmony and wealth. There is infighting all day long, the partners don't do their business, and they think about the wool of the lawyer all day long, such a law firm can't do much and can't go far.
Hua Liancheng is an old fritter, he will not be moved by Fang Yi's words and tears to the bottom, as the saying goes, don't look at the advertisement, look at the curative effect. Fang Yi's words were here for him, basically listening to his left ear and his right ear, and he didn't take it to heart at all.
"Mr. Hua, my client has an acquisition project and wants to entrust me to do it, but you also know that I am good at criminal cases and not good at this kind of non-litigation business, so I would like to ask, which lawyer is stronger in our law firm to do this kind of business? Don't hide your secrets, be sure to recommend the best lawyer to me. Fang Yi said with a smile.
Hua Liancheng was stunned, and said secretly: What does Fang Yi mean by this, looking for himself to consult non-litigation matters, doesn't he know that his team is best at non-litigation projects? In recent years, there have been many mergers and acquisitions projects, although there are not many large projects, but the experience in this area is still very rich.
"If we want to say that we have the most lawyers in the acquisition business, it has to be our team of lawyers Li Chaoqun and Sima Jun.
Li Chaoqun is the leader of the M&A team in my team.
By the way, lawyer Sima Jun should know that lawyer Sima Jun has strong professional ability, and he has begun to take the lead in my team in the past few years.
If you don't have the right candidate, choose lawyer Sima. When it came to the lawyer in his team, Hua Liancheng looked proud.
As soon as Hua Liancheng mentioned Sima Jun, a woman with a poker face immediately appeared in Fang Yi's mind. But because of her personality problems, many lawyers dare not approach. When he was in Jinshi Law Firm, Fang Yi cooperated with Sima Jun, so he knew her personality better.
"No problem. I listen to you, it's lawyer Sima, you ask lawyer Sima to come to me next Monday, and I will take her to meet the client to understand the project. Fang Yi said with a smile.
"Okay, how will the lawyer's fee for this project be charged?" Hua Liancheng didn't think much about it, and asked casually. He didn't know if Fang Yi had already talked to the other party about the lawyer's fees, so he asked.
"Let Lawyer Sima talk to the client, I don't know how to quote." Fang Yi looked at Hua Liancheng, he really didn't know how to quote.
"Good. The project was handed over to lawyer Sima. Your customer, I will let her give a discount, and I will pay you 20% of the contract price for the return channel fee. Hua Liancheng thought for a while.
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Fang Yi smiled.
After Fang Yi left, Hua Liancheng recalled his words and muttered to himself: "This kid came to recommend projects to me, but he didn't smell the copper smell at all. This thing is really silky, is it that I live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain? ”
On Friday afternoon, Fang Yi's office was full of people, and the team held regular meetings without moving.
"Hey, our team has grown again, Sui Xia, have you introduced the six new lawyers to you?" Fang Yi looked at Sui Xia.
"It's already been introduced." Sui Xia replied.
"Well, today Friday, Yun Qiao and Zhou Ying, you take a look at which restaurant is good around, let's welcome new colleagues and get together after work." Fang Yi was happy in his heart.
"Well, we're the best at it." Yun Qiao said with a smile.
"Alright, let's start the regular meeting. Who will share the case today? Fang Yi looked at everyone.
"I'm coming, a few days ago, Lawyer Xie assigned me a case of intentional injury......" Zhou Ying began to introduce the case, and Sui Xia stood in front of the whiteboard and began to record the key information of the case.
It was the first time for Lee Myung-bak and others to attend the regular Friday meeting, and although Sui Xia had already introduced the steps and regulations of the regular Friday meeting, Lee Myung-bak and the others saw that everyone had a bag of snacks in their hands, and they didn't know whether to hold a tea party in the form or really discuss the issue.
After Zhou Ying introduced the case, the elderly of the team began to express their opinions one after another.
The six new lawyers were a little confused, obviously a little uncomfortable, discussing the case situation, shouldn't they send materials in advance and do their homework in advance? Why don't you come up and do it directly! This is also too much of a test of professional ability.
Fang Yi saw the doubts of Li Mingbo and others, because it was the first time for the six people to participate in the team's Friday regular meeting, so Fang Yi did not ask them to speak, but just let them participate and adapt to the rhythm of the team, and they were not so lucky next time they held a Friday regular meeting.
In the evening, the team had a treat, Yun Qiao and Zhou Ying didn't save Fang Yi money, and booked a seafood buffet restaurant. Everyone came to the restaurant and began their ice-breaking journey.
……
At almost noon on Monday, Du Yong and Cheng both walked out of the courthouse, and Chang Guang and his daughter-in-law chased them out.
"Lawyer Du, let me invite you to dinner." Chang Guang's face was excited.
The Changguang robbery case was heard today, and after the trial was completed, the presiding judge announced the verdict in court.
The collegial panel held that Chang Guang ignored the laws of the state and openly seized other people's property for the purpose of illegal possession, and the amount was particularly huge, and his conduct constituted the crime of robbery.
Chang Guang's ability to voluntarily surrender and truthfully confess the facts of the crime after the case occurred is a voluntary surrender, and the punishment may be mitigated or commuted in accordance with law.
In view of the fact that Chang Guang was able to voluntarily hand over the vehicle involved in the case and make restitution to the victim unit's economic losses after being brought into the case, that he showed good performance in admitting guilt and repentance, and that he had obtained the victim's forgiveness, he may be given a lighter punishment as appropriate in accordance with law.
Comprehensively considering the circumstances described above, Chang Guang meets the requirements for a suspended sentence, and his punishment may be commuted and a suspended sentence may be announced in accordance with law.
Accordingly, in accordance with the provisions of Article 267, Paragraph 1, Article 67, Paragraphs 1 and 3 of Article 72, Paragraphs 2 and 3 of Article 73, Article 53, and Article 64 of the Criminal Law, as well as Article 9 of the Several Opinions of the Supreme People's Court, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, and the Ministry of Justice on the Application of Ordinary Procedures in the Trial of 'Cases in which Defendants Admitting Guilt' (for Trial Implementation), and Article 2, Paragraph 1 of the Provisions of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Property Penalties, it was ruled that the defendant Chang Guang committed the crime of robbery and was sentenced to three years imprisonment with a five-year probationand a fine of RMB 20,000.
