Chapter 916 New cooperation between WL and the distance

"That's a fixed year-end bonus. If we generate excess income, our year-end bonus will go up." Hong Wen explained.

"How much is the float?" the little lawyer asked.

"Uh...in theory...it's hard to say, it depends on the income generated in the past year, it should not be less this year." Hong Wen said.

"Everyone, I will announce the year-end bonus plan for employees. Because of everyone's hard work, they overachieved in generating income last year. Therefore, the standard for the year-end bonus is four months' salary." Wang Chuan said with a smile.

The audience immediately rose up, this is real money, even the year-end bonus that trainee lawyers with relatively low salaries get is enough to go home for the New Year.

The employees of the law firm present were elated, but the interns were not so excited. They looked enviously at the cheering crowd, thinking of finishing their internship early and entering the law firm to make money.

"Also, I won't announce the red envelopes for this year, you can see for yourself, it might be a surprise!
This year's outstanding employees are Sima Hui in the first department, and the second department..." Wang Chuan read the list. In order to fully reflect the fairness, according to the regulations of the firm, all partners are not allowed to participate in the selection of outstanding employees.

At the same time, in order to make everyone feel balanced, the criteria for judging every outstanding employee are the same, that is, performance and collaboration ability. They must not only work alone but also have a sense of teamwork. Where the results are placed, everything is transparent.Even if someone is jealous, it is hard to say anything.

Of course, outstanding employees get not only a certificate, but also a reward of 1 yuan per person, so everyone is still very concerned.

"Wang Lv, does our law firm have any other employee benefits this year?" a bold voice from the audience asked loudly.

"Leave this question to Wanlu. I will invite Wanlu next time!" Wang Chuan said with a smile.

Fatty Wan stepped onto the stage, took the microphone and said, "Please rest assured, apart from the bonus mentioned by Wang Lv, all regular employees of the law firm will have a chance to travel abroad for ten days. Of course, you have the right to refuse to participate."

Fatty Wan's voice fell, and the audience boiled again.

"Everyone, don't be confused. Our company now has 130 full-time employees. Because there are too many people, we have to travel abroad in batches. At that time, the administrative department will make unified arrangements after consulting everyone's opinions.

In addition, I am announcing one thing. Starting from March this year, the basic salary of all employees will be increased. Please see the big screen for the specific increase method. Later, the administrative department will distribute it to the law firm system in the form of official documents of the law firm. Fatty Wan laughed.

Everyone stared at the big screen, feeling excited again.

……

"John, what do you think of Yuanfang Law Firm?" Smith asked in English in a low voice after approaching Old John.

"When we were in our heyday, our income was tens of millions of dollars a year, and their income was nothing." Old John shrugged.

"Do you know how much they earned last year? It was only over 3000 million!" Smith whispered.

After hearing this, Old John's eyes froze, and he turned to look at Smith. The revenue growth rate was too fast, and he thought the other party was joking with him.Smith on the opposite side nodded solemnly.

"So you know why I am optimistic about Yuanfang Law Firm!" Smith smiled.

"Okay, I think we need to have a good chat with Wang Chuan about cooperation." Old John said with bright eyes.

The annual meeting didn't end until 10:30 in the evening, and everyone dispersed. Xiao Guo stood at the door and distributed gifts to everyone.Wang Chuan asked He Bin to send Old John and Smith to the hotel, and the two sides made an appointment to discuss cooperation matters the next day.

After the annual meeting, there is less than a month before the Spring Festival holiday. Except for the lawyers of the second department who are still providing consultation and contract review services for clients, other lawyers are basically in a half-holiday state.

The first batch of outbound travel employees organized by the law firm have been arranged and started to go through the formalities. After the ten-day trip, they basically wait for the holiday when they come back.

At [-] o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Chuan, Fatty Wan, and assistant and translator Shen Qi started in-depth cooperation negotiations with Old John and Smith in the conference room.

"Lawyer Wang, John and I talked a lot about Yuanfang Law Firm in the morning. We are very interested in your firm. We think our cooperation can be further deepened. We can introduce each other's clients and potential clients to each other, and look for Business opportunity," Smith said.

"No! Lawyer Smith, I believe that no law firm will agree to the cooperation method you mentioned, because no law firm will disclose its business secrets to its counterparts, even if the counterparts are foreign counterparts.

I think we can change to another way of cooperation. I believe this way of cooperation can make our relationship closer. "Wang Chuan smiled.

Are you kidding me? One is an old law firm with sunsets, and the other is a vigorous and thriving new law firm. How could it be possible for Wang Chuan to disclose all his client information to the other party?What's more, the other party couldn't exchange anything that Wang Chuan thought was valuable.

"Oh? What way?" Smith asked curiously.

"For example, we merged into one body and became a law firm!" Wang Chuan said.

"Lawyer Wang, I understand what you mean, but our WL lawyers are currently in a period of turmoil. We don't have the strength to acquire your firm now, and we don't want to change the name of the current law firm. This name carries too much of us. Please forgive me! "Smith said after whispering a few words with Old John.

"Mr. Smith, I think you may have misunderstood me.

When I speak of oneness, I do not mean to annex you.Instead, each party will be allowed to have separate profit pools and accounting systems, but will share strategy, branding and other core functions. WL Law Firm and Yuanfang Lawyers will continue to operate as separate entities. " Wang Chuan explained.

"In other words, both of us still operate independently, but we jointly build a brand, use the same strategy, and jointly send representatives from both parties to form a management department. It’s a whole externally, isn’t it?” Smith said.

"Lawyer Smith, you understand very well. This is what I think. In this way, the advantages of both parties in their respective regions can be preserved to the greatest extent. At the same time, they can leverage each other's strengths to do business and publicize, and provide customers with a full range of domestic and foreign legal services. .” Wang Chuan said.

Old John nodded frequently after listening to Smith's explanation.

"Lawyer John thinks what you said is reasonable, but we still have many partners, and we need to vote before we can give you an answer. In addition, we hope you will come up with a specific cooperation plan." Smith said.

"Okay, we will appoint Ms. Shen Qi to communicate with you about further matters after the Spring Festival. Thanks again to Attorney John and Attorney Smith for attending our annual meeting, thank you!" Wang Chuan said with a smile.
