My rebirth is different

Looking at the watch, the assistant added: "Oh, there are still 10 minutes."

Lawyer Fang nodded in satisfaction, "I don't have any other arrangements for this afternoon, do I?"

"At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Capital Lawyers Association has a report meeting, and you want to speak."

Lawyer Fang frowned, and after a little thought, he said decisively: "Call the association and tell me that I can't leave today, and the speech will be cancelled!"

"Okay. If there's nothing else, I'll check the living room." The assistant said briefly.

Lawyer Fang nodded, and the assistant opened the door and walked out.

Reaching out his hand to pick up the large file folder that he had prepared, Lawyer Fang came to the sofa and sat down, flipping through the documents in his hand.

In the afternoon, this client had a lot of background. For this interview, Attorney Fang also prepared for several days, collecting various materials in several large folders.

Of course, Attorney Fang's work attitude has always been very rigorous, even for small clients, he will take them very seriously.

However, with his qualifications, he has basically had no chance to contact any small customers over the years.

"Facebook Technology, Facebook, Facebook Games... Valuation is 40 billion US dollars, the first round of financing is [-] million US dollars... Major shareholder Yu Wenfei, Softbank Capital, Jiaotong University Venture Capital..."

The client's information is played back in the lawyer's mind like a movie screen.

He focuses on intellectual property and commercial disputes, and he really didn't know much about Facebook before.

He doesn't like blogging. The time in a big law firm is too precious. It may be worth hundreds of dollars per minute. How could he waste precious time on blogging?

This time, after the client consulted and made an appointment to meet, Attorney Fang asked his assistant to collect relevant information on Facebook technology.

Don't look at it, look at it!

Is the Internet industry so profitable?

Facebook Technology has only been established for more than half a year, and its scale has reached such a large scale, with more than 1 million registered users, and the company's valuation is 40 billion US dollars!

In contrast, Global Law Firm is a bit pitiful. With such a powerful background, the people working there are definitely the best of the best. As a result, the annual turnover is only more than 20 billion yuan.

If it is really going to be listed, it is estimated that the market value will not exceed 50 billion, which is still RMB!

Of course, it is impossible for a law firm to go public because it is a partnership system.

A law firm is a very strange enterprise. Here, everything is people-oriented!

There is no R&D and marketing investment, and the only operating cost of the company is labor cost!

Of course, some may still have the rent of office buildings, such as Universal, which has its own building, even saves the rent.

Whether a law firm can be famous, whether it can make a profit, and whether it can win the trust of clients all depends on how many well-known lawyers you have.

Therefore, here the boss cannot take all the profits alone, even most of the profits are impossible, because barristers have to participate in the profit distribution.

If a case is received and various lawyer fees are calculated, and the law firm gets 100 million, at least 100 million of the 60 million will be given to the lawyer who hosts the case, and the rest can be counted as the law firm’s gross profit. .

A barrister, he himself can basically be regarded as a company with extremely good profits, and it is a company that has no operating risks and will never lose money.

Therefore, in order to attract more good lawyers, law firms are very generous, and the treatment they give is very good.

Lawyer Fang is one of those top lawyers. Talents like him, whether in the United States or China, are of course high-income earners.

Over the years, Attorney Fang has taken on one or two big cases a year, and served as legal counsel for several large companies at the same time, easily earning several million a year.

But when he saw the profile of the founder of Facebook Technology, he couldn't help feeling jealous.

19 years old, worth more than 30 billion US dollars!

I have read all the books for so many years in vain. For more than ten years, I have always been the most outstanding one among my peers. Looking at it now, I can't compare with other 19-year-olds!

But Lawyer Fang just thought about it this way. He is a person who has seen the world and understands that life is different.

The world is so big, and there are always very few people who can achieve what most people can't achieve even if they work hard all their lives.

Maybe this Yu Wenfei is the kind of "extremely special" person, which is not something I can envy.

He was thinking about the client's information with his eyes closed when there was a knock on the door and the assistant walked in.

"Lawyer Fang, the clients are here. I'll take them to the living room. It's time for you to go."

Hearing this, Lawyer Fang opened his eyes, stood up, moved his body, rubbed his cheeks, and became refreshed.

"The tie is a little crooked, let me tie it for you."

The assistant came forward and carefully helped Lawyer Fang straighten his tie.

"Thank you, let's go there." Attorney Fang smiled.

"Come on!" The young female assistant gently raised her fist.

Both of them understand that what they are going to face today is undoubtedly a big customer, a very big one!

Such clients are rare even in Global Law Firm.

If this case can be won, it will last for several years, so of course we must treat it with caution.

Chapter 522 The Expenses Are High

When he first came to the capital, Yu Wenfei didn't tell Hu Jingjing what he was doing this time.

Of course, as the boss, it is impossible for him to explain everything to the secretary clearly.

Now sitting in the living room of Global Law Firm, Hu Jingjing realized that this is a law firm. While waiting for the lawyer to come, she asked Yu Wenfei in a low voice, "Boss, what are we doing here? lawsuit?"

Yu Wenfei was drinking tea, when he heard Hu Jingjing's question, he smiled slightly and said, "Can't you come to the law firm if you don't file a lawsuit?"

"It's not right. Our company already has a legal department. If there is any problem, we have our own lawyers." Hu Jingjing said confusedly.

"You, the people in the company's legal department can't be said to be incompetent, but they are not strong enough. It's okay to draft some documents and contracts. If you really encounter serious business, you can't count on them." Yu Wenfei explained casually.

Indeed, the legal department was established not long after Star Technology was established, but there are only three employees in total, and they are all young people who have just obtained their lawyer's license.The company itself does not have much demand for this aspect, so naturally it does not need to hire a barrister, as long as it is capable of drafting a contract document.

But now, the company has a need in this regard, and the scene will be relatively large, so Yu Wenfei flew directly to the capital to find this Global Law Firm.

Hu Jingjing didn't ask any further questions, but she was thinking in her heart, could it be that the company has encountered some major incident and is about to file a lawsuit...

…………

The two of them didn't sit for a few minutes before lawyer Fang Zhiyan and his assistant walked in quickly.

"This is Mr. Yu Wenfei, welcome. I'm Fang Zhiyan."
