Lawyer's character

Chapter 289 Peng Huayan

"No need, I'm going to find your cousin Li Shuming. You don't need to give me anything." Fang Yi glanced at her and said.

"Don't! Don't! If my cousin finds out, he will definitely let me go to work at Huihuang and keep an eye on me every day. My family will also know, and I won't be able to be a Sanda coach, and my good days will be over.

Brother, please, don’t tell my cousin. "When Li Suhua heard that Fang Yi was going to blame this matter on her cousin Li Shuming, she immediately became scared and looked at Fang Yi pitifully.

"Okay, it's just this once, we won't do it next time." Fang Yi looked helpless.

"Thank you! I will return the money to you as soon as I get paid." Li Suhua immediately changed into a smiling face.

Three days later, Fang Yi received a call from Sister Lan. The wife of Party A’s actual controller of the real estate project she mentioned before wanted to meet Fang Yi to discuss the case.

At 9:30 a.m. the next day, Fang Yi received Peng Huayan, the wife of the actual controller introduced by Sister Lan, at Jinshi Law Firm.

Peng Huayan is a typical Sichuan girl. Although she is over forty, she still looks beautiful, has supple skin, has a slim and petite figure, and looks very charming. If I could describe her in a few words, they would be "beautiful, low-key, and connotative."

If Sister Lan hadn't told her, she looked like she was in her early thirties, and Fang Yi would never have believed that she was the mother of two children.

Two days ago, when Gao Jinlan called Peng Huayan to ask about her husband Zou Qiang's case, Peng Huayan was discussing the case with a lawyer from a large city firm. During this time, she met with many lawyers, but she never made a decision.

Previously, her husband Zou Qiang's defender during the first trial was an experienced lawyer from a Beijing law firm who specialized in criminal cases recommended by the company's legal advisor. However, after the first trial failed, Peng Huayan lost trust in the lawyer and wanted to hire a new lawyer.

Since the second instance of the case was heard in the city's Intermediate People's Court, she listened to the advice of people around her and prepared to find a lawyer who specializes in criminal matters in the city to defend her husband.

She has met several lawyers in the past few days, some are eloquent, some are bragging about not paying taxes, and some are open-mouthed or silent. She couldn't tell which lawyer had strong professional ability, but with her years of experience in identifying people in companies, she quickly eliminated the two big liars.

To sum up, her criteria for hiring a lawyer are very simple. First, look at the cases. What types of criminal cases have been done in the past two years and what is the winning rate? Secondly, look at the size of the law firm where the lawyer works. She feels that lawyers from large law firms should be more professional. Reliable (actually not necessarily).

In her opinion, hiring a lawyer is like buying clothes. Although clothes from big brands are more expensive, their workmanship and styles are much better than those from small companies. She used her experience in buying clothes to hire a lawyer.

More importantly, over the years, the legal services provided to their real estate company were all big law firms. She was used to it and looked down upon small law firms at all.

Despite Sister Lan's recommendation, if Fang Yi was not practicing at Jinshi Law Firm, but at a small law firm in the city, he might not even have a chance to meet, let alone discuss the case.

"Ms. Peng, hello. My name is Fang Yi." Fang Yi said.

"Hello, Lawyer Fang. Mr. Gao recommended you to me, saying that you are very professional and have helped her handle many cases. Before coming here, I looked at the criminal cases you have done in the past two years and your personal profile. Introduction. It should be said that the results of the cases surprised me. Many of them were innocent defenses and achieved the desired results." Peng Huayan said with a smile.

"You are exaggerating! The cases you mentioned can achieve the expected results. In addition to professional ability, luck is also a part of it." Fang Yi said modestly.

Peng Huayan spoke neither too fast nor too slowly, as if he was always following the rhythm of the conversation. This made Fang Yi feel like he was being led by the nose, which he was not used to.

"Oh! Luck? What do you mean?" Peng Huayan looked at Fang Yidao curiously.

Most businessmen who can grow their business are very sensitive to the word "luck", because many times they are gambling on their lives when doing business.

What is a businessman? In the words of Marx: When there is one percent profit, he becomes bold; when there is ten percent profit, he will be used everywhere; when there is twenty percent profit, he will be bold. Become active; with 50% profit, it will take desperate risks; for 100% profit, it will dare to trample all human laws; with 300% profit, it will dare to commit any crime, even risk hanging.

Peng Huayan and her husband Zou Qiang started from scratch, and they have worked hard to earn hundreds of millions of assets from the bottom. He understands the word luck more thoroughly than the average person. Now when I heard Fang Yi mention this word, I was naturally very interested.

"Actually, whether a case can achieve the expected result depends on three factors. The first is the cooperation of the parties, the second is the professional ability of the lawyer, and the third is to meet a good judge. And having these three conditions at the same time is It takes luck." Fang Yi smiled.

Peng Huayan pondered for a moment: "Well, Lawyer Fang, let's talk about my husband Zou Qiang's case. This is the first-instance verdict of my husband's case. As you can see, we have now filed an appeal. The hearing time of the second-instance trial has not yet been determined."

After receiving the verdict of the case, Fang Yi saw at the end of the verdict that it was written that the defendant Zou Qiang was suspected of contract fraud and was sentenced to 13 years in prison and fined 500,000 yuan. Oops! What a big case!

Fang Yi raised his head and looked at Peng Huayan: "Is it convenient for you to introduce the case? I need to know the details of the case."

"My husband Zou Qiang founded Huapu Construction Co., Ltd. more than ten years ago..." Peng Huayan said happily.

Huapu Construction Co., Ltd. was established in 2001. Peng Huayan’s husband, Zou Qiang, served as the general manager and chairman of the company, and actually controlled the company. In the first few years, the couple contracted projects in an affiliated manner, taking advantage of the great development of real estate. Opportunity has turned the first pot of gold in life.

Later, the company was renamed Huapu Real Estate Co., Ltd. The couple, who had been in the real estate circle for many years, had a certain amount of capital and connections, and began to imitate others in buying land and building real estate. It was quite profitable at first, but then the land prices in the real estate market skyrocketed. With their strength, they could not compete with those large real estate companies. They could not get good land, so they had to go to second- and third-tier cities for development, or even buy land to build buildings in counties.

The real estate industry is a capital-intensive industry, and every move involves a large amount of funds. It is impossible to do it without money, because the land area they obtained is not good and the bank loans are very few. They have no choice but to turn to state-owned financial institutions. When companies or private financial companies raise funds, the interest rates range from 10% to more than 30%, and some loan interest rates are even as high as 45%.
