Kai Hang Properties, owned by the Fok family, is one of the largest real estate developers in Hong Kong and one of the companies with the largest land reserves.
The Zhuo family is also one of the four major real estate developers in Hong Kong, and also owns jewelry companies, several banks and other industries.
The Zhuo family's businesses cover jewelry, hotels, department stores, logistics, telecommunications, infrastructure and finance.
The assets of the two Li families also cover numerous investment projects such as real estate, hotels, telecommunications, oil and gas, transportation, and water conservancy.
If the four major families are the highest level of the wealth pyramid,
Then Ye Wenle’s family belongs to the middle level.
As for a family like Zhao Zitong's.
Sorry, I don’t have wealth and am not qualified to appear on the wealth pyramid.
Ye Wenle is a famous playboy in Lan Kwai Fong.
The reason is simple: I love to play and am willing to spend money.
To put it in a more literary way, it means being wealthy and powerful.
To put it more down to earth: rich people are stupid.
Just like the prostitutes in ancient times who loved nodding to the top girls, he is welcomed by the bar owners in Lan Kwai Fong.
Now he is surrounded by several young women.
Zhuo Zhenfeng had just returned to China and didn’t know this man’s background, but he took his lawsuit.
Later, when we found out what kind of person he was, we paid him double the money.
This playboy is lawless.
A few years ago, he killed someone due to drunk driving, but his father paid to settle the matter.
Later, because the impact was so great, he was sent abroad to hide.
As a result, this scumbag was involved in another rape lawsuit just a few days after returning to China.
Such a bad guy dares to set his sights on Zhao Zitong.
If it weren't for his identity as a lawyer, Zhuo Zhenfeng would have wanted to beat him up a long time ago.
But beating people is always the behavior of barbarians.
He is a gentleman, how could he just beat someone up in the street
He was going to give this man a good beating in court.
At this moment, Ye Wenle had his left hand around a woman's waist, his right hand grabbing a woman's breast, and he was verbally teasing another woman.
He was enjoying being embraced by beautiful women.
When I turned my head, I saw an annoying face.
Isn’t this the lawyer Zhuo who wanted to sue me
He had only just returned to China and did not know whose son Zhuo Zhenfeng was.
Moreover, he knew all the sons and daughters of wealthy families like theirs.
In addition, last time, this damn lawyer actually refused to represent him in his rape case.
Ye Wenle was spoiled since he was a child.
Even when things like rape and murder happened, his father would clean up the mess for him.
He had never been insulted like this before, so he was naturally furious.
He pushed the women in his arms away and walked forward quickly:
"Damn lawyer, a good dog doesn't get in the way!"
Zhuo Zhenfeng didn't even raise his eyes and blurted out:
"That's right, so why are you standing in front of me?"
Several women burst into laughter when they heard this.
Ye Wenle's face was dull, and his face, which had drunk a lot of alcohol, became even redder because of anger.
The veins on his neck were clearly visible, and he raised his fist and was about to rush over to punch Zhuo Zhenfeng.
Zhuo Zhenfeng practiced karate in the UK. He grabbed Ye Wenle's fist with one hand and said coldly:
"If you dare to touch me, I will put you in jail tomorrow."
Ye Wenle was held tightly by Zhuo Zhenfeng and could not move at all.
His face looked horrible.
He saw Zhuo Zhenfeng as a weak scholar and thought he was easy to deal with.
He had just imagined a scene in which he would knock this weak scholar to the ground with one punch, and many beautiful women would applaud and cheer for him.
I even fantasized that if I knocked this man to the ground, even if he begged for mercy, he would kick him away...
Who would have thought that this man, who looks gentle at first, could be so scary when he turns fierce.
I have really embarrassed myself this time.
His expression was twisted, not because he was angry.
It was because his wrist was hurting so much that he had no choice but to grimace.
Zhuo Zhenfeng's principles have always been:
If no one offends me, I will not offend anyone.
If anyone offends me and throws me into prison,
If anyone offends me again, I will root out the problem.
This is the advantage of being a lawyer in Hong Kong: you can sue anything.
The fact that even divorces have to go to court shows how much the people of Hong Kong need lawyers.
Whether you are divorcing by agreement or with disputes,
Only when the court rules that you are divorced, is it a real divorce.
What Hong Kong people like most is to "take legal action."
Just go to court.
Going to court is as casual as beating a drum at the gate of the county government office.
In the general public’s impression, it costs a lot of money to sue in Hong Kong, and it seems that ordinary people cannot afford to sue.
In fact, this idea is both right and wrong. Because in Hong Kong, the litigation fees (case registration fees) are actually so cheap that you can't imagine:
Not 98,000, or 9,800 Hong Kong dollars, just 1,045 Hong Kong dollars, no matter how big the case amount is!
In Hong Kong, there are generally two ways to file a civil lawsuit:
Writ of Summons and Originating Subpoena, the vast majority of cases are filed by way of a writ of subpoena.
As for cases filed by way of a writ of summons, the following are quite different from those in the Mainland:
The Hong Kong court only charges a fixed fee of HK$1,045 per case.
Instead of charging according to the amount of the case like in the mainland.
But why did Zhuo Zhenfeng ask for 100,000 yuan in legal fees
How much does the lawyer charge for that case
In other words, how many hours do lawyers work
This answer is really uncertain.
Because it depends on whether the other party appears in court, whether they defend themselves, and how many days the court session will last.
Yes, the court session lasts for a few days!
Court sessions in mainland China usually end on the same day, and in most cases only half a day is enough.
However, it is common for Hong Kong court sessions to last from one to two weeks.
Just like the college entrance examination in Hong Kong, it takes a month, while the college entrance examination in mainland China only takes three days.
Let's talk about the simplest situation. If the other party does not appear in court, does not defend, and does not appeal, how much attorney fees will the plaintiff have to pay
The first step is that the plaintiff must consult a lawyer. The purpose of the consultation is to ask the lawyer to make an overall assessment of the case.
The lawyer will then give an opinion on whether the lawsuit is worth prosecuting and whether there is a possibility of winning.
Because Hong Kong's legal system itself has the function of curbing the abuse of judicial resources, this step is indispensable before prosecution.
The lawyer will work at least 3 hours during this stage, and possibly more than 20 hours.
The second step is that if the plaintiff decides to sue, the lawyer will begin writing various preparatory documents for the lawsuit. This stage will take at least 10 hours.
The third step is that after the prosecution, if the defendant does not appear in court or defend himself.
Then the court makes a default judgment, which is the simplest thing.
A lawyer's work hours are usually 10-20 hours.
