Lawyer

Chapter 685 Dispute
"Hmm! You guessed it right. My parents used to pour red wine for a while when I was in college, and then they switched to other things, but the relationship is still there. If you want, I can get you a few small bottles." Lafite, discount." Yun Qiao bared her teeth and smiled.

"Well, I have seen it, you are the real person who doesn't show your face." Zhou Ying gave a thumbs up and said, "But Western food doesn't suit my appetite. I'm not full, what should I do?"

"Does it need to be said, I will treat you to a big meal, and you can choose the restaurant as you like." Yun Qiao said happily.

"Really! Forget it, you only earn that little money a month..." Zhou Ying said.She also came from a trainee lawyer, so she naturally knew the treatment of a trainee lawyer in the firm.

"We have funds... No, we have family subsidies. Let's go. It's okay to treat you to a meal once in a while." Yun Qiao hugged Zhou Ying's arm and reached out to stop a taxi.

……

On Monday morning, Fang Yi was sitting in the office, thinking about generating 800 million yuan in income.In fact, there are many criminal litigation cases in the team, but most of them charge relatively low fees, all of which are below 5 yuan.In the first half of the year, he has earned nearly 400 million yuan. If he wants to earn 500 million yuan in the second half of the year, according to the current charging situation, he has to do more than 100 cases. Fang Yi is covered in iron and can drive a few nails.

So he thought about opening up more channels and finding some big criminal cases.But in the case of criminal proceedings, you can’t ask people if there is any criminal case at home. In that case, it’s like a coffin seller knocking on the door and asking if anyone in the family has died, and you will be scolded.

After much deliberation, Fang Yi felt that if he wanted to handle a high-fee case, he could only rely on luck, so he should focus on the team's case source first, and do his best to obey the destiny.

Just when Fang Yi was worried about earning 800 million yuan, Wan Kefa next door was drinking tea while his brain was running fast.

The tea in the cup was good tea, and there was a faint fragrance of tea in the office, but Wan Kefa didn't have any taste in his mouth after drinking it. There was no other reason.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, Hua Liancheng walked in, and sat opposite Wan Kefa with a blank expression.

"Are you here to be a lobbyist?" Wan Kefa looked up at him and asked.

"I said no, do you believe it?" Hua Liancheng looked at Wan Kefa, an old man who had fought in the same trench for many years, with complicated eyes.

"What do you think?" Wan Kefa poured him a cup of tea.

"Looking at the large law firms across the country, most of them have the shadow of capital behind them. We live in a corner, and we have gained some fame and scale locally, but if we don't have a large amount of funds to operate, it may be difficult to leave the province.

This is also not in line with the interests of the first and second partners, so I want to borrow a boat to go to sea. "Hua Liancheng picked up his teacup, organized his words, and said.

"But have you ever thought about how much space we have once capital comes in? Capital is profit-seeking, and the law firm will become a purely profitable organization in the future, operating like a company. Do we have to set KPIs for lawyers? ?” Wan Kefa argued.

"Isn't it good for a law firm to develop like a company? Over the years, all walks of life have been innovating and developing rapidly, but our law firm is still a traditional model. If you look at domestic counterparts, many law firms have introduced capital. By increasing the scale, we have achieved good returns. Some law firms are essentially established with capital contributions, so aren’t they all developing well?” Hua Liancheng asked rhetorically.

"Is it really good? You do more non-complaints than I do. Which company you have seen is not to make the boss and the pockets of investors bulge? And which one is really good for employees and customers? , Contribute to the country, all are fucking speculation.

If you look at the law firms that have introduced capital, how many negative news have come out? The scale is large, but the quality is not good. It is no different from a big car shop. In terms of high-end business, whether it is litigation or non-litigation, it is not competitive at all. What's the point of a bunch of rabble.Lawyers in our firm pry each other out of disorderly and vicious competition in low-end business.

Have lawyers across the country stepped on fewer pitfalls in recent years?If you work hard for a year but can't get a commission, or can only withdraw a small part of it a month, the law firm has a large amount of money on its books, but in fact it is all used by investors to buy funds and invest.

Why are there so many small lawyers, and why lawyers would rather set up their own pocket law firms than enter a big law firm, because there is no place to leverage, only exploitation.

It is capital's approach to win by scale, because they need to see profits quickly, and capital will not care about the future development of the law firm.Law firms and lawyers are just a piece of fat in their eyes, and they are greedy for the cash flow of large law firms. "Wan Kefa stood up excitedly.

"Old Wan, don't get excited. Sit down, sit down and talk slowly." Hua Liancheng organized the language, changed the angle, and comforted him: "I know you have feelings for this law firm, and I am also the founding partner. , I also have feelings for the law firm. But this is the general trend..."

"Anyway, I don't agree with this matter. As a service organization, a law firm must be independent and cannot be controlled by capital. It must also keep clients' commercial secrets secret.

Once the capital comes in, you know who is standing behind them and whether they are in competition with existing clients. Lao Hua, we are responsible for the commercial confidentiality of our clients, and we must also ensure the independent operation of the law firm. "Wan Kefa stared.

Wan Kefa is not a profit-seeking person, but a lawyer with aspirations. He has worked in law all his life. At this age, making money is no longer the most important thing for him.

He has witnessed the progress of the rule of law in China. Although it is very difficult, many lawyers have made sacrifices, and of course many lawyers have changed careers because of disappointment, but after all, progress has been made with the joint efforts of legal professionals.

Wan Kefa is a person with ideals, and he does not want the law firm to become a tool for others to make huge profits and ruin the brand of Wanhua United Law Firm.

"We can talk about everything, right now we have to give up the management right of the law firm without even saying anything!" Hua Liancheng persuaded.

"Forget it, the capital side is nothing more than seeing that our law firm has a large scale and has a certain influence in the local area. The ultimate goal is to use money to buy this law firm and pick peaches.

Even if you verbally say that you will not participate in the operation and invest a lot of money, is the capital side really so relieved to let you burn money?Don't forget the essence of capital... Who would do it without a clue!Sooner or later, the operation method and finances of the law firm will have to be dictated by others.

The capital definitely wants us to develop rapidly, but the risks involved are not taken by others, and the final risks are all on our law firm and partners.Do you think it's worth it? Wan Kefa took a sip of tea and sighed.

"Okay, let's put this matter aside for the time being, and we'll talk about it at the partner meeting at the end of the year." Hua Lian couldn't persuade Wan Kefa, so he got up and left the office.
