Lawyer: The bully is not guilty? I will send him to death!

Chapter 149 The desperate situation of the company

Seeing Lin Mo take it so decisively, both of them were very excited, looked at each other and smiled.

Then, the big man said: "Lawyer Lin, how do you charge the lawyer's commission fee?"

Lin Mo looked at Zhang Houcai and wanted to ask Zhang Houcai about the current market situation in this area.

It's not that Lin Mo doesn't know how to charge the relevant fees.

It's because Lin Mo didn't start out as a tort lawyer back then. After he became famous, the cases he came into contact with were all high-end cases.

The entrustment fees for infringement cases of the same level can easily reach five to six million, or even tens of millions.

Of course, those were huge infringement cases. Lin Mo really didn’t know how to deal with the current plagiarism case involving a small team.

Zhang Houcai understood Lin Mo just by looking at him.

"Well, according to industry standards, suing Penguin will require 850,000 commission fees."

Lin Mo nodded after hearing this. 850,000 is almost a normal fee at this level.

If the person suing was not Penguin, the price could be lowered a lot.

After hearing the fee, the two of them looked at each other, showing embarrassment.

At this time, another thin man with glasses and a gentle manner sighed and said:

"Lawyer Lin, to be honest, our company currently only has 700,000 yuan in working capital, and we...can't afford the 850,000 yuan commission fee."

"In that case, Lawyer Lin, we won't disturb you anymore and wish you a prosperous business."

Another tall man stood up and said goodbye to Lin Mo with a lonely expression.

The two seemed to be walking very resolutely, without any intention of bargaining, but their steps were very heavy.

The reason why they left directly was that they didn't want to bargain, because they felt it would be disrespectful to Lin Mo, and they were afraid that Lin Mo would lower the price for them, which would make them feel guilty.

Lin Mo also saw the difficulty of the two young people and said with a smile: "You two, actually there is another way to pay."

The two stopped.

At this time, Zhang Houcai said: "The other option is for our law firm to take 8%-15% of your compensation as commission fees."

After saying that, the two of them came back with some surprise.

The big man said almost without thinking: "Lawyer Lin, we choose this! It doesn't matter if you can take 15%!"

"Okay, let's sign a contract first. You guys sit down for a while and I'll draw up a contract."

"OK."

Lin Mo left and made a contract specifically, which took half an hour.

The company that founded Ta Dao Auto Chess is called "Haiyi". There are three founders of the company, a tall man named Wu Yi, a thin man named Tian Hai who wears glasses, and a senior technical officer named Chen Wu.

Wu Yi and Tian Hai signed their names without hesitation without even looking at the contract.

This is their trust in Lin Mo.

It was also the good reputation that Lin Mo accumulated from his previous cases that won them their unconditional trust.

The contract officially comes into effect!

"Okay, take me to your company to have a look. I have to get familiar with this game first."

"OK!"

Xia Ling originally wanted to play along, but was left in the company to help Zhang Houcai handle other matters. Currently, there are as many as 30 companies that want to cooperate with Shunhe.

Zhang Houcai could hardly take care of himself. He shouted to recruit people every day, and asked Xia Ling to take the lead first.

Recruitment is also in progress, and many people have already submitted their resumes.

Lin Mo meant to gather together, and one day when he was free, Lin Mo would conduct the interview in person.

Since Haiyi Game Company is a start-up company and lacks funds, their company location is not in the bustling CBD area of ​​​​Jianghai, but in an industrial park in a suburban new area with cheap rent.

When we arrived, an hour had passed.

The construction is pretty good. There are many office buildings in the industrial park, and many young faces hang out in the park.

"Lawyer Lin, 80% of the startup companies here are young people and they are quite energetic." Wu Yi said.

The rent is cheap and there are policy supports. Young people with little capital choose to start their own businesses here.

The summer is relatively hot. After walking through the park and entering the office floor where "Sea Wing" is located, several people's foreheads were already covered with sweat.

Pushing open the company's glass door, Lin Mo originally thought it would be a comfortable air-conditioned environment.

As a result, it was still hot and dry inside the company, with only a few large fans running.

Wu Yi and Tian Hai smiled awkwardly: "Lawyer Lin, in order to save electricity, we stopped paying the air conditioning fee to the property management, and they stopped the central air conditioning in our area."

Well, it’s understandable. If you don’t have money, you should spend it instead of saving it.

But the next moment, Lin Mo smelled the aroma of food and oil smoke.

"This is..."

The two were embarrassed again: "Lin Lu, the rent here is cheap, but the food in the cafeteria is very expensive, so... our company cooks the food ourselves, and we can save 20,000 in food expenses a month."

Good guy.

Lin Mo looked inside the office area and saw a man wearing glasses and a plaid shirt holding a flat pan and cooking on an induction cooker.

"It seems that your company is indeed in dire straits."

In such a hot summer, I turned off the air conditioner and even cooked my own meals, just to save tens of thousands of dollars a month...

Any company that is operating normally would not be so poor.

The two of them also showed helpless smiles: "Lawyer Lin, there is nothing we can do. Ever since the company copied our game, our income has plummeted. After paying off the business loan, paying the rent, water and electricity bills, and meal allowance, there is no money left. Now I can’t even pay monthly dividends..."

Lin Mo understands that Haiyi is owned by all employees. There is no salary, only dividends. The monthly salary is directly proportional to the company's revenue.

And it can be seen that Haiyi has been glorious in the past.

The decoration of Haiyi is very elegant. There is even a gym, snack area, rest area, and a cafe-like area inside the company.

There are also various chairs. There is an ergonomic chair on the ceiling - Herman Miller, but more are dozens of wooden benches.

In that cafe, the coffee machine on the counter had disappeared, and only a few chefs were cooking the company's meals, sweating profusely.

It turned into a cafeteria directly....

The entire company is now in a mess, as if no one has cleaned it for a long time. There are stains scattered on the floor and no one has cleaned it.

The employees are either sleeping on their stomachs, or they are staring at the computer and typing furiously on the keyboard. They all have dark circles under their eyes and look very tired and sick.

"Eh." Wu Yi sighed at this time: "At that time, the company made a lot of money and was prospering, so we renovated and purchased many things to reward ourselves, such as a set of coffee machines worth hundreds of thousands, and all employees were equipped with Herman Miller Engineering chair, full meal allowance.”

Tian Hai on the side continued: "Now the company's revenue is declining day by day. In order to maintain operation, we not only sold coffee machines, but also sold Herman Miller chairs. We sold almost everything we could, including the cleaning aunt and us." All was saved, and the result is what it is now.”

Lin Mo nodded, this is entrepreneurship, a thought of gods and demons.

"Then they are working overtime like crazy and comparing progress with the company?" Lin Mo pointed at the employees who were working overtime like crazy.

Wu Yi and Tian Hai both nodded: "Yes, the Penguin Family has a great cause. Their programmers are several times as many as ours. They have crazy updates in shifts, and various gameplays emerge in endlessly, attracting a large number of players. If we don't follow If we update the gameplay, all the players will go to the top of Penguin's Cloud, and our company will be completely dead..."

But after finishing speaking, Tian Hai still shook his head: "Actually, we can all see that we are at the end of our strength. We cannot defeat Penguin with this method."
