Lawyer's character

As the saying goes, there is no oil and salt store that is not open. After being introduced, a man named Gong Wenshu (handling another case) contacted Lai Zixing, and after negotiation, the two parties signed three mortgage loan contracts.

Gong Wenshu mortgaged a "Hyundai Elantra" sedan, a "Jetta" sedan, and a "Volkswagen Sagitar" sedan that were fraudulently rented from a vehicle rental company to Dafa Company, and borrowed 20,000 yuan, 30,000 yuan, and 50,000 yuan from Dafa Company respectively. Ten thousand yuan, a total of 100,000 yuan, deducting 15% monthly interest, the actual proceeds are 85,000 yuan.

Later, after Gong Wenshu's introduction, Yu Qingsong contacted Lai Zixing, and the two parties signed a loan contract and mortgaged a rented "Santana" car to Dafa Company. They borrowed 30,000 yuan from Dafa Company, deducting 15% of the monthly interest. The actual proceeds were NT$25,500.

After that, Gong Wenshu was caught by the public security organs after the incident. He confessed that he had mortgaged the fraudulent car to Dafa Company and took out the mortgage loan contract.

Later, Lai Zixing, who had only done two business transactions, was arrested. As soon as he entered the interrogation room of the public security agency, he told everything, even revealing that he had saved his private money. Later, the procuratorate charged him with illegal business operations and brought him to court.

Lai Zixing's daughter-in-law, Wang Jie, consulted many lawyers. Some said that Lai Zixing would be sentenced if it constituted a crime, some said that it did not constitute a crime, and some said that it did not matter whether it constituted a crime or not. It would not matter if the money was available. She I don't know who to listen to, I feel restless and my mind is in a mess.

Her natal brother Wang Qi works in a subsidiary company of Shengfeng Group. Fang Yi is well-known for his character and professional abilities. When his brother-in-law Lai Zixing was arrested, he was on a business trip. After learning about the incident, he directly called his sister Wang Jie to go to Shengfeng Group. De Law Firm approached Fang Yi, saying that Fang Yi specializes in criminal cases and is relatively reliable. With her brother's endorsement, Wang Jie went to the law firm early the next morning to consult with Fang Yi and entrust her with the case.

Fang Yi made it clear to her that the case would be handed over to the team's lawyers, but he would participate in the formulation of the defense plan.

This case was somewhat difficult. Fang Yi knew that Du Yong had handled several illegal business cases before, so he asked Xie Youhe to assign the case to him.

"When you took someone's car as collateral, did you look at the car's big book (motor vehicle registration certificate)?" Du Yong looked at Lai Zixing in confusion.

Under normal circumstances, for a mortgage loan, you have to first check whether the car used as collateral belongs to the mortgagor, and you also have to verify the ownership of the car. You will not give money just for seeing the car.

"Well, I've thought about this before, and I have the same idea as you, but then I found out that I have big clients, and when they come, they have to check my company's qualifications and business license. I don't have one, and they don't dare to bring their cars." Pledge it to me, lest I wrap it up and run away.

So after talking to a few customers, I felt that as long as I can make money, it’s okay to take some risks. The worst I can do is dismantle the positioning device on the car and sell the car to other places. I can also make some money with the black car, but who knows? I caught up with just two pieces of business. Isn't this unfortunate?

Others were fine after doing it for several years, but I was caught after doing only two orders. Alas! After I was locked up, I thought, I am suitable for working honestly to make money, not for taking advantage of others. "While Lai Zixing was sighing about life, Du Yong's mind was whirring.

"How much profit did you actually make?" Du Yong then asked.

"In the contract, I lent a total of 130,000 yuan, but actually I didn't lend that much. After deducting 15% of the monthly interest, I actually lent out 110,500 yuan, and I only got more than 19,000 yuan. , less than 20,000 yuan.

In fact, I didn't make any money at all. I didn't get back the principal I borrowed, and all the money I got was the first month's interest. Big payout! "Lai Zixing complained with a sad face and clasped his fingers.

"Everyone else has an annual interest rate of 15%, but you can directly get a monthly interest rate of 15%. This interest rate is high enough." Du Yong sighed.

"I've just joined the industry, and everyone else is doing this. They say this industry has high risks and high profits. I don't understand why here, it's all risks and there's no profit." Lai Zixing burst into tears. Came down.

"Hey! You are worried about the high interest rates of your clients. Your clients want your principal. You will be the one who suffers in the end. Don't do this again in the future." Du Yong advised.

"Who says it's not the case? Isn't this bad luck?" Lai Zixing looked downcast.

"Did you tell the public security organs and the procuratorate the same thing before?" Du Yong asked. He was afraid that the other party would miss information and create information asymmetry, so he would be passive during the trial.

"Yes, it's the same thing." Lai Zixing nodded.

After leaving the detention center, Du Yong went to the court in the afternoon to review the case.

…

Fang Yi was reading case files in the office when Yun Qiao walked in.

"Master, the firm assigned us a trainee lawyer named Cheng Du. I looked at my resume. He graduated from a university in this province and majored in criminal law. He is pretty good." Yun Qiao said and handed his resume to Fang Yi.

"We haven't recruited enough trainee lawyers, why are we being given points again?" Fang Yi complained with some dissatisfaction.

"Master, according to the personnel department, this project came through Director Wan's relationship. Why don't you ask Director Wan about the specific situation?" Just after Yun Qiao finished speaking, Fang Yi's cell phone rang. It was Wan Ke. Called from France.

"Xiao Fang, I asked the personnel specialist to send you a resume. There is a good guy named Cheng Du who graduated this year." Wan Kefa's voice came from the phone.

"Lao Wan, my team has already filled up its trainee lawyers. Why don't you ask Lao Huang?" Fang Yi felt that the trainee lawyers couldn't do much work and had to be paid. It would be useless to recruit too many, so he didn't want to be an intern. lawyer.

"Xiao Fang, listen to me and keep Cheng Du. It will only do you good and not bad." Wan Kefa said in a slightly lowered voice.

Fang Yi was startled after hearing this. Could it be that this Cheng Du has some background, like Mr. Wu? Since Director Wan said so, he could only stay.

Seeing Fang Yi put down his cell phone, Yun Qiao asked: "Master, are you leaving Chengdu?"

"Stay, Director Wan has already said hello, what else can I do?" Fang Yi said with a helpless smile.

"Then whose name is it? The new lawyers Hu and Song both have trainee lawyers in their names." Yun Qiao reminded.

"Du Yong has been practicing for more than five years, right?" Fang Yi frowned and asked.

"It will be exactly five years as of September this year." Yun Qiao is now Fang Yi's half-secretary and team manager, and knows the team's situation well.

Although she was reluctant to do this, Fang Yi arranged it like this and there was nothing she could do about it. They are all members of the family, so they must support their brother-in-law no matter what.

"Okay, let Du Yong come in and I'll talk to him. Let Cheng Du follow him." Fang Yi thought for a while and said.
