Lawyer's character

After Cheng Du finished chatting, he suddenly felt that recommending cases to lawyers is a good business. It does not require risks and makes a lot of money. However, this business requires contacts, the wider the better, and then the team behind the connection needs to be very professional. team, otherwise it will be unable to meet customer needs and all previous development work will be in vain.

For Cheng Du, he has the professional team at Sidley Austin and the connections at home. He just needs to bring the two together. All is ready except for the opportunity!

"Exactly, what kind of business does your family do?" Du Yong was somewhat doubtful of the other party's ability.

"It's not a big business. My family is engaged in wholesale wine, mainly in northern cities. Our customers are mainly large nightclubs and other entertainment venues.

Do you know why my dad had to let me study criminal law? Cheng Du asked with a serious face.

Du Yong had never seen him so serious before and shook his head: "I don't know."

“Eight years ago, my dad took me to check out customers, thinking that he would leave all this work to me in the future.

My dad has a good relationship with his customers. Just as he was about to leave the nightclub after paying the bill, a team of police officers rushed in and sealed off the entire nightclub.

The two of us squatted in the lobby with our heads in our hands, not daring to speak. We were released in the middle of the night. Later I found out that there was someone smoking that stuff in the nightclub, and that night the police went there alone. That night the nightclub owner was arrested, and the police took away dozens of people.

But it scared me. After we were released, my dad drove the car and said to me: My son, you have to study law and criminal law.

I promised my dad at that time that I would learn criminal law well and know, understand and abide by the law.

As a result, my dad suddenly waved his hand and slapped me. "Cheng Du said.

"Why did your dad beat you? You're right!" Du Yong looked at Cheng Du doubtfully.

"My dad stared at me and said: Don't you find that being a lawyer is good? I asked you to study law so that you could become a lawyer. Dozens of people were arrested in one night. If you were a lawyer, each of you would receive 10,000 yuan. I can make nearly a million in one fell swoop. What a great business! It’s much better than selling drinks.

After listening to my dad's words, I was almost burnt on the outside and tender on the inside. Others were thinking about how to stay away from these people, but my dad was thinking about how to make money from these people. Do you think it's weird? Cheng Du smiled.

Du Yong also smiled: "This is what makes businessmen different from ordinary people. It would be unreasonable for your father not to make a fortune in this life! For this reason, I think our business can take off this year."

"Really?! I'd like to thank you for your good advice. I will definitely connect the business." Cheng Du said, patting his chest.

Neither of them expected that a temporary decision would make the two famous in other provinces a few years later. It also made Fang Yi's team more and more famous in other provinces, even surpassing the reputation in this province. Some It feels like flowers blooming inside the wall and fragrant outside the wall.

What Du Yong never expected was that the two of them would form their own criminal team with the support of Fang Yi in the future. Of course, this is all a story later. They are still very small now, but the seeds have been planted and will sprout sooner or later, and one day they will grow. Become a towering tree.

…

In the next few days, Fang Yi and other partners began to visit customers, and they were so busy every day. Online media reported on Sidley Law Firm's activities and named it "Sidley Law Firm's First Anniversary Celebration." The article was written in a relatively objective manner and summarized the development of Sidley Law Firm over the past year.

The article introduces the status of the current first-level partners of the law firm. Although Fang Yi is ranked third among the first-level partners, he has been very popular in recent years. Two well-known lawyers have appeared in the team, and he has become extremely popular for a while. .

In the province's lawyer ranking list, three of the top 50 lawyers are from Fang Yi's team, with Fang Yi ranking fourth, and Meng Guangda and Du Yong's rankings also rising.

One week before the Spring Festival holiday, Cheng Du's father, Cheng Xiangyu, invited Du Yong to dinner, and the latter happily attended the appointment.

In a private room of a private restaurant, Cheng Du introduced his father, Cheng Xiangyu, to Du Yong. Cheng Xiangyu was a short, fat man in his fifties, and Cheng Du looked very similar to him. The two parties had known each other for less than ten minutes, and Cheng Xiangyu had already begun to call Du Yong brothers.

Du Yong finally understood that Cheng Du not only inherited his father's body shape, but also inherited his father's social awkwardness.

"Brother, it is my son's blessing to be able to join Lawyer Fang's team after graduation and get your guidance." Cheng Xiangyu patted Du Yong's arm and sighed seriously.

Du Yong smiled and agreed, thinking to himself: Your son was put into the team by Boss Wan, and Boss Fang arranged for him to be my apprentice. When you say this, you have nothing to do with Boss Wan, as if it is all my credit. Yes, I feel uneasy.

After a while, the food and wine were served.

"Brother Du, let me toast you first. Thank you for taking care of my son." Cheng Xiangyu clinked glasses with Du Yong and drank them in one gulp.

"Brother Du, I will toast you this glass alone. You are a well-known lawyer in this province. Being able to have a drink with you is enough for me to go back and practice for half a year. It is my honor to know you." As soon as Du Yong put down his wine glass, Cheng Xiangyu picked it up again Got the wine glass.

Du Yong had another drink with him and thought to himself: This is still a mouthful of food. After drinking two glasses, he would have to sneak under the table if he drank any more.

"Brother Cheng, my ability to drink is limited, let's drink slowly, don't be in a hurry." Du Yong put down the cup and hurriedly advised.

"Okay, actually I don't drink well either. Come on, let's eat some food." After Cheng Xiangyu finished speaking, he picked up the chopsticks.

Cheng Du picked up his chopsticks and secretly curled his lips at his father: If you can't hold a thousand glasses of wine, we will be even less able.

"Brother, my son told me about cooperation a few days ago. I think it's feasible. You have the technology and I have the resources. It's a good opportunity for us to make money together." Cheng Xiangyu took out a box of Su cigarettes and handed it to Du Yong One.

"Well, what I said is very true. I wonder what you think about the channel fee?" Du Yong took the cigarette and asked directly.

"Well, I am also an honest person. Let me tell you the truth. We have a relationship. It is easy to activate this relationship. As long as the distribution of interests is reasonable, everything is easy to negotiate. I can handle any case." Cheng Xiangyu said while smoking a cigarette.

"Just tell us how we should allocate our income." Du Yong didn't want to beat around the bush.

"I understand, your lawyer has to issue invoices, the law firm has to deduct points, and personal income tax will be deducted. How about we pay 30-70 for the lawyer's fees? It will be calculated based on the contract amount. We don't divide the travel expenses. No matter how much we can negotiate, it will all go to the lawyer. what do you think?"

Du Yong thought that it was not impossible to do this, but it was just a personal case. The law firm had to deduct 30%, and then give the channel 30%. In fact, he could only get 40%, and then deduct a tax. , it is estimated that it will only be a little over 30%. At the same time, he also had concerns, not knowing how many cases the other party could provide in a year.
