Wind Rises 2005

Chapter 232 Legally Blonde

Fangda Law Firm, in the office of Lawyer Feng.

Feng Decheng asked Ma Liang with a serious face: "You boy, tell me the truth, what kind of investment promotion are you doing to join, are you planning to cheat a sum of money and run away?"

Although he already knew Ma Liang a little bit, the old lawyer Feng would not be so naive.

Since they have chosen to do business, few people can resist the temptation of quick money.

Merchants join in to quickly cut a crop of leeks, and then take the money and run away. In China, it can be said that there are too many bad stories in the country, and there are too many cases of thunderstorms.

"Uncle, do you think I'm that unbearable?" Ma Liang asked angrily.

Feng Decheng glanced at him, and replied generously: "Who knows, I have to go and inspect the food processing factory later, don't be easily fooled by your boy."

"Let's go, uncle, you can go unannounced with the reporter, what am I afraid of." Ma Liang said indifferently.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be pretending, Feng Decheng couldn't help but feel a lot better.

However, out of professional caution, he still decided to take the time to take a look in private. It is impossible to fully believe what this nephew said.

But on the surface, Feng Decheng still showed enough patience: "Then tell me first, what are you going to do with Merchants Franchise?"

"Uncle, don't worry! Let me tell you slowly.

Our company's Malatang project is temporarily divided into four types according to the business area and decoration requirements from the perspective of investment promotion and joining.

Satellite store, standard store, image store and flagship store.

[Satellite stores] have the smallest business area, basically below 50 square meters.

This kind of shop is similar to those husband and wife shops that do small catering, so I don't plan to charge franchise fees.

Only deposit, brand management fee and equipment fee, as well as advance payment for ingredients are charged.

The area of ​​the [standard store] is controlled at about 60-80 square meters, because the profitability will be greater, so the franchise fee charged varies according to the economic and consumption levels of different regions.

The business area of ​​[image store] is generally 100-150 square meters, and there will be high requirements for store decoration.

Therefore, the franchise fee of this kind of store is the highest, but the support given by the company is also the most.

As for the flagship store, the business area must not be less than 200 square meters, and it is directly operated by the company headquarters, and franchisees are not open for the time being.

So the external related legal issues only involve the first three types of stores." Ma Liang patiently introduced, especially for standard stores and image stores, he explained in great detail.

Because these two kinds of stores can charge franchise fees, they will be the main store types for the company to attract investment and franchise development in the next one or two years.

As for [satellite stores], Ma Liang decided to suspend the opening of investment promotion.

After all, for those bosses who can afford the franchise fee, even if the Malatang shop loses money, it will not hurt their bones.

But for those low-level people who joined the [satellite store] and wanted to find a way out, what they took out was the hard-earned money they had saved for many years, and it might even be all the savings of the family.

Once it goes wrong, the damage to an individual's family is absolutely catastrophic.

Therefore, Ma Liang will be very cautious about opening [satellite stores], because this kind of stores will have the largest number and the widest distribution in the future.

At present, the Malatang project has just started, and he has not experienced many things.

Even if he is a reborn boss, it is impossible for him to understand everything in detail.

If due to insufficient preparation, many [satellite stores] are poorly operated and closed one after another, it will affect hundreds of families, which is something he does not want to see anyway.

A gentleman loves money, and he must get it in a proper way.

After all, Ma Liang is not the purest businessman, he can't be so cold-blooded, and he has never really put money in his eyes.

Making money is only a means to achieve freedom in life, not an end.

If the amount of money reaches a certain level, it is nothing more than a number to him.At that time, the continuous increase in numbers will not really change the quality of life much.

So he would rather the development of the Malatang project be slower and more secure than quickly cut leeks to make money.

His idea was also shared during the narration, which made Master Feng nod frequently.

As an elder, Feng Decheng is very relieved to see that the disciples of Shimen can be so socially responsible and not lost in the desire for money.

Lin Fengyun at the side heard this, and when he looked at his sweetheart, his eyes looked forward even more, and his affection was a little deep.

After Ma Liang's explanation was finished, Feng Decheng couldn't help asking the question he was most concerned about: "Hearing what you said, you are quite ambitious.

Just tell me directly, what is the plan to attract investment and join, and how many stores do you plan to open? "

"Master, this year's plan is to recruit about 300 stores. By next year, this number may double.

In the future, on this basis, it will increase every year, which is roughly the scale of the store expansion. " Ma Liang replied calmly.

Feng Decheng was dumbfounded when he heard it: "What the hell? 300? Doubling next year?
I don’t want to be a legal consultant, whoever wants to go to Dangdang.”

He was obviously intimidated by such an exaggerated workload. If Ma Liang, his nephew, hadn't asked to come to his door, he would not have been willing to take this kind of business.

"Uncle, don't rush to push it out!
Didn't I say it before, I invite you to serve as legal counsel with Senior Sister Lin.

You are responsible for putting up a name, and let the senior sister handle the specific affairs.

If something difficult happens, it won't be too late for your old man to act. "Ma Liang hurriedly explained.

Feng Decheng still shook his head and refused to agree: "Don't fool me, think me stupid!

There are three or four hundred franchise stores a year. If something goes wrong, we will be exhausted just to deal with the lawsuit. "

"Don't worry, our company will also set up its own legal department, and we will give priority to handling any problems.

I came to bother you, uncle, when I really encountered a difficult situation. The main reason is to make a name under the big tree of [Fangda Law Firm].

Besides, didn't I promise before that I will definitely manage the business in a down-to-earth manner and never engage in crooked ways, which may cause many lawsuits. "Ma Liang could only patiently explain again.

Only then did Feng Decheng say reluctantly: "Even if you talk about flowers today, I can't immediately agree.

In this way, I will visit your factory in two days, and we will talk about the follow-up matters. "

"Okay, what can you say, uncle, it's okay." Ma Liang could only nod his head in agreement.

He would be surprised if Feng Decheng was not so cautious as a barrister.

After talking about the matter, Uncle Feng started to chase people away: "Is there anything else? If you don't have anything else, let's go, I'm still busy here."

"It's not too late to do anything, why don't I treat you to dinner tonight?

Give me a chance, so that my teacher and nephew can show his affection," Ma Liang suggested jokingly, and then turned to look at Lin Fengyun and winked at her.

Having dealt with Attorney Feng for so long, he has never invited anyone to dinner, which is somewhat unreasonable.

Feng De is an adult and mature, how can he not understand the little Jiujiu in the hearts of young people, he couldn't help complaining: "Don't be fake with me!
It's better for you young people to eat, and I won't go for old people, so as not to hurt my eyes."

"Really not going? Then turn around, uncle, don't blame me for being too stingy!" Ma Liang replied with a smile.

Feng Decheng waved his hand directly, and stared at him with disgust: "Get lost! It's easy to get angry just looking at you."

"Hey, then I'm really leaving." Ma Liang replied proudly, "Senior Sister, let's eat!"

After finishing speaking without being pretentious, she directly pulled Lin Fengyun to leave work early again.

The two drove to the small restaurant on Yuyuan Road, not far from Lin Fengyun's home.

It was the fly restaurant where they ate and drank together after get off work on the day they first met.

Lin Fengyun prefers this kind of small restaurant the most. She enjoys the feeling of being surrounded by human fireworks anytime and anywhere.

Order four or five small dishes, have a pot of wine, and enjoy the delicious food while having a drink or two with your favorite people, not to mention how comfortable it is.

She first poured a small glass of rice wine for Ma Liang, and then filled it for herself.

Immediately raised his glass and touched one with his sweetheart, then said softly: "Bless us"

This is the toast that Ma Liang said that day, and Lin Fengyun firmly remembered it in his heart.The words are short, but they mean a lot!

"Okay, wish us well!" Ma Liang also toasted in response, and continued to work.

The rice wine in this small restaurant is as high as ever, and it burns the throat very much.Ma Liang drank it in one gulp, his throat and stomach felt like fire.

Seeing this, Lin Fengyun smiled slightly, and hurriedly picked up two pieces of dried bamboo shoots for him to eat and press.

This is also where she often teases Ma Liang, because if she really wants to drink, this little boy's alcohol capacity is far inferior to hers.

Poured another glass for herself, took a sip, and then she sighed unhurriedly: "Actually, you don't have to do so much for me."

"No, my company really needs legal support!

It's all trivial things, it's impossible for Uncle Feng to fight in person. Ma Liang was afraid that she would think too much, so he quickly explained.

Lin Fengyun shook his head, "It's not about this, it's about that Mr. Sheng in front.

You know, I don't have any obsession with becoming a barrister, and I don't have much ambition in my career, so it doesn't matter whether I can take that case or not.

I just want an ordinary life, and the pressure is even greater if there are many cases. Maybe the law major was not suitable for me in the first place.

It's better to be in the university. You don't have to face these worldly disturbances in the ivory tower.

It's a pity that everything can't go back! "

"Life still has to look forward, and it will get better and better in the future.

If you don't want to become a barrister, at worst, you can take fewer cases in the future." Ma Liang had no choice but to comfort him.

Lin Fengyun's eyes lit up, and he suddenly asked on a whim: "How about I take the civil servant exam?
I heard that the system is quite relaxed, working from [-] to [-] and never working overtime.

In the future, I will go directly to the court to work, maybe I can become a female judge. "

civil servant?court?female judge?

Is this planning to wear uniforms in the future?
