I met with business partners in the afternoon, and the "Han Dynasty" private equity fund raised a large sum of funds.
Lu Ming could only smile bitterly. He really had the potential to be a big con man. However, with decades of experience in social development trends, he was theoretically much more reliable than those big con men in his previous life. The big con men in his previous life were able to fool people into investing in various things. If he couldn't, then it could only be said that his ability was questionable.
Of course, the main reason is the successful investment precedents of several patent projects, especially the three-point seat belt project.
And the new business partners I met knew all of my past “details”.
However, as a private equity fund, they will keep their identities confidential. Similarly, their participation in the Han Dynasty Private Equity will be kept confidential, and they will try not to let others know that they have any connection with them, let alone talk about themselves outside.
Because the meeting went very smoothly and there was plenty of time according to the schedule, Lu Ming went to Wang-Lu Office.
I haven't studied the lawsuit for a long time, and I feel a little itchy in my heart.
It seems that no matter what, I don't want to lose my identity as a lawyer. I would rather have multiple identities.
…
The three disciples were not there.
The firm had a new lawyer, recruited by Wang Da'an. He was a pillar of a mid-range firm in Xinfa District, but he had a falling out with his former employer and resigned in anger. Wang Da'an heard about it, took the initiative to talk to him, and actually recruited him.
The new lawyer is in his forties. His name is Wang Shuangyang. He looks very smart and capable. In terms of age and experience, he is in the prime of his life.
Moreover, he is a lawyer with three sections.
When Lu Ming shook hands with Lawyer Wang, he smiled in his heart and said to himself, Old Wang, Old Wang, you are bolder now and have more options!
"I came to this firm because of Lawyer Lu. It's an honor to meet you!" Wang Shuangyang and Lu Ming shook hands tightly with great strength and confidence. He looked at Lu Ming with admiration in his eyes.
However, he did not chat with Lu Ming for long as there were still cases waiting for him to deal with.
What Lu Ming didn't expect was that Rodman actually came to work, but was fired by Ling Wei.
I heard from Wang Da'an that he offended a big customer of Lingwei Automobile because he drank too much.
He has always spent money quickly and has no savings, so he seems to be working very hard now. He took on a small case with a reward of only a few dozen yuan and was talking to the client very seriously.
When Lu Ming came, he just made a funny gesture through the glass wall and didn't come out to chat with Lu Ming.
Looking at the bustling office, Lu Ming was a little uncomfortable at first.
If I include myself, the firm now has five officially registered lawyers, which is definitely a mid-range firm in Beiguan.
Moreover, except for Liu Hanming Law Firm and Tang-Li Law Firm, all other firms in Beiguan are small firms with one or two lawyers.
Nor is there a market for more big firms.
Therefore, Wang-Lu Firm is definitely the third-ranked firm in Beiguan now.
The office suite that Hua Xia Technology originally rented was already full, with five lawyers and five single offices. There would be no room for one more lawyer.
Lu Ming's office is usually shared by his three apprentices.
The three of them were nowhere to be seen today. Gigi said that they were handling a lawsuit together.
"Jiji, don't you have any cases for me to handle?" When Jiji brought him some tea, Lu Ming looked at the empty desk and said helplessly, "Of course, I don't have much time either, I just want to give you some advice or something."
Ji Ji was stunned, and secretly looked at the boss twice, "Boss, my uncle, ah, no, the price list provided by Lawyer Wang is 100 yuan per minute..."
Lu Ming was stunned. This was a bit exaggerated. The economic development level of this world was similar to that of the United States during the same period, including the prices of goods. In other words, his consulting fee was now in the dollars of the 1940s and 1950s, $100 per minute.
If you do the math again, one hour and 6,000 yuan is enough to buy a small apartment.
This is probably the price for a Royal Counsel.
But at that stage, they were all disputes between federations or economic disputes between large companies with a market value of more than 100 million yuan.
The pattern is that either you don’t file a lawsuit for a year, or if you file a lawsuit, it will cost an ordinary person several lifetimes to make ends meet.
But think about it, Wang Da'an offered him such a ridiculous price. Firstly, he was very popular in the Donghai legal community, and this move could be regarded as increasing his own value, and at the same time, it would also improve the grade of the entire firm. Secondly, he was often away and too busy, so he would not be allowed to take ordinary cases, which would lower his own value. But if there was someone who was willing to pay him this price, then this lawsuit would still be worth fighting.
"Ji Ji, do you have any legal questions to consult?" Lu Ming smiled.
Gigi was startled. In an instant, the boss seemed to have turned into the big bad wolf who tempted Little Red Riding Hood.
"I, I dare not... No, no!" Jiji shook his head desperately. Please, 100 yuan per minute, which means that if he talks about legal issues with the boss, his monthly salary will be gone in just a few words.
Lu Ming smiled and suddenly felt that the firm was like his safe haven. It was too tiring outside, and it was even more depressing to be in the special case team, investigating those extremely cruel cases. It was very pleasant to come here occasionally to relax.
"Come on, ask a few questions, it's free!" Lu Ming tried his best to smile and be more approachable.
“No…” Gigi shook her head like a rattle.
Lu Ming frowned: "You don't believe me?"
“No…” Gigi’s face turned pale with fright.
"Then here's a question! I don't believe that you don't have any disputes with others. For example, your face seems to be peeling due to the sun. Where did it get peeled? In a public square? That's also worth fighting for!"
In fact, these strange lawsuits can really be fought now. Even under this legal system, in the past life, in the 21st century, there were still people who declared that the sun was their own.
Because there is a loophole in the law, the local notary office conducted a notarization and confirmed that this person is the owner of the sun. Therefore, the "owner of the sun" announced that he would charge people around the world for using the sun. However, a smart lawyer sent a lawyer's letter to this person, asking this "owner of the sun" to be responsible for global warming and many natural disasters and compensate for the economic losses.
In the end, the "owner of the sun" had to take the initiative to announce that he would give up his ownership of the sun.
"Quick, ask a question!" Lu Ming looked at his watch.
Seeing that the boss looked bored, Ji Ji thought for a while and finally whispered, "Boss, last month, I broke up with my boyfriend, but he took away a lot of my things, which I bought with my own money..."
Lu Ming nodded: "Okay, I'll send him a lawyer's letter and ask him to return all the things. By the way, compensate you for the necessary losses." He paused and said, "Okay, you type the lawyer's letter and I'll sign it." It has been so long, even though he is a receptionist, he still knows how to type a lawyer's letter.
"Really?!" Gigi's little face was full of surprise.
Outside, Big Head knocked on the door. Obviously, something happened again.
Lu Ming smiled and stood up, "I'm going to the bathroom now, let's see how fast you type!"
Gigi turned around and ran without saying a word.
When Lu Ming came out of the bathroom and walked to the reception desk, Gigi had already hurriedly handed him a lawyer's letter. Lu Ming glanced at the content, picked up a pen from the desk and signed his name.
"Thank you, boss. Thank you, boss!" Gigi jumped back with her thin little legs happily, and even gave Lu Ming a kiss where he signed. Suddenly she said, "I, I won't send it out. I'll keep it as a souvenir. Thank you, boss!" Her eyes were filled with tears.
The receptionist had already become two people, and the other girl looked at her enviously.
Lu Ming was helpless. He felt that his signature was almost the same as the imperial edict.
When I walked out, I looked back and saw Gigi and the little girl still holding the lawyer's letter, jumping and dancing, looking extremely happy.
