Of course, if the other party submits a statement of defense and a statement of response, then the subsequent procedures will proceed normally and the lawyer will charge according to the actual working hours, so it is impossible to give an estimate for this.
For the simplest case, a lawyer has to work at least 23 hours.
Based on the general charging standard of 3,000 yuan per hour, that would be 69,000 Hong Kong dollars!
As a professional lawyer, Zhuo Zhenfeng assessed the difficulty of the "Zhao Zitong gold smuggling case" and it was absolutely reasonable for him to charge 100,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Since lawyer fees are so expensive, doesn’t that mean people without money can’t file lawsuits
No.
Hong Kong, like the mainland, has a legal aid system. No matter whether you are a Hong Konger or not,
As long as your financial resources do not exceed HK$290,000, you can apply for legal aid from the Hong Kong Legal Aid Department.
What are financial resources
It is the total assets you can use. It is calculated by multiplying your monthly disposable income by 12.
Plus all capital assets including bank deposits, cash, stocks, investment properties, the value of insurance policies that can be loaned.
Of course, the home you live in is not counted as capital assets.
Your available monthly income is not your total monthly income, but your monthly income minus your fixed expenses.
However, Zhuo Zhenfeng would not take the initiative to tell Zhao Zitong that she could apply for legal aid.
It's very simple. No restaurant owner would proactively tell guests:
Is there a new restaurant next door that’s having a sale
This is one of the reasons.
The second reason was that he wanted to have some relationship with Zhao Zitong.
Whether it's a work relationship or a financial relationship, as long as there is some intersection, that's fine.
Zhuo Zhenfeng was thinking about Zhao Zitong in his heart. Seeing this scumbag grimacing in pain but refusing to beg for mercy, he couldn't help but increase the strength of his hands.
"Ah..." Ye Wenle couldn't bear it and screamed out in pain.
"This...this gentleman, please show mercy in public."
One of the women couldn't bear it anymore and took the initiative to persuade them.
Although she didn't have a good impression of Ye Wenle, he came from her store after all.
If something goes wrong, it will be difficult to explain to the boss.
Zhuo Zhenfeng glanced at the woman, and then saw that more and more people were watching the excitement.
The strength in my hands relaxed a lot.
But Ye Wenle still cried out in pain.
Yes, Hong Kong is such a small place.
Lan Kwai Fong is also the favorite place for rich young men.
It wouldn’t be good if others recognized it.
This scumbag is not only arrogant, but also dares to provoke me.
With the Zhuo family's current status, killing him would only take a few minutes.
However, Zhuo Zhenfeng was used to being self-reliant and had never thought of using his family connections.
Otherwise, it would only take a few minutes to deal with a small trading company like this.
There is a line in Hong Kong dramas: "Can you do whatever you want if you have money?"
In Hong Kong in the 1990s, it really was true that “if you have money, you can do whatever you want.”
In mainland China, where the media is not well developed, the rule is: "If you have power, you can do whatever you want."
"I won't punish you here. I'll see you in court in a few days."
After saying this, Zhuo Zhenfeng stretched out his long legs and got into his Lamborghini.
Zhuo Zhenfeng stared at the night view of Victoria Harbour outside the car window in a trance.
Zhao Zitong was standing downstairs of an old building in Causeway Bay in a daze.
She was thinking about how to help Yu Wenyin and her husband successfully take over the house, help Grandma Gao's family, and at the same time successfully buy the store and open a small fresh food supermarket.
I have no money, Grandma Gao has no money, and Gao Feng has even less money.
The only one with money is Qihang Real Estate.
What if you can get something for nothing
Zhao Zitong quickly reviewed the cases he had seen in his mind.
Making money from the poor is nothing but empty talk to deceive sheep.
But making money from the rich is called getting something for nothing.
This is fundamentally different.
A rich man is not an ordinary person. The reason why he is rich is that he is definitely a veteran in the business world.
It is harder than heaven for ordinary people to make their money.
What to do then
First of all, we need to understand what the needs of the rich are.
Zhao Zitong remembers that in later life, she worked as a salesperson.
When I visited a client with a net worth of over 100 million yuan, the first thing he said was:
“This meal is a real luxury, not in terms of money, but in terms of my time.”
Rich people value time very much and are less sensitive to price.
What they value is whether the product can save them time, meet their needs, and provide them with value.
If they can do it, rich people will pay readily.
Rich people often say:
"Money is not a problem, as long as you can help me get things done."
The poor, on the other hand, do the exact opposite. They ignore time and focus on price.
In order to save 20 yuan, I spent an afternoon comparing prices on various platforms.
Find people to bargain with.
Some people would say that they save money because they don’t have money. Who would do that if they had money
Totally wrong!
Poverty comes from wasting your time on these boring things.
Just imagine: I spent an entire afternoon just to cut down 20 yuan.
Are your three hours only worth 20 yuan
It's even cheaper than an hourly worker.
Being able to make money is the biggest way to save money.
In this world, you can’t become rich by saving money.
The last time I “cheated” the school board of directors out of money was a typical example of getting something for nothing.
Unfortunately, something unexpected happened.
If it weren't for that accident, I would have made my first pot of gold long ago.
But it doesn’t matter, you can get up from where you fell.
With this belief, Zhao Zitong called Yu Wenyin and asked her to ask Li Ninghao out.
Zhao Zitong couldn't contact her best friend's boyfriend directly.
Although they were discussing business matters, Yu Wenyin would have felt uncomfortable calling her boyfriend without telling her best friend.
It just so happened that the two of them didn't go far and were having a midnight snack at a nearby tea restaurant.
That was great, she had just eaten barbecue and needed some herbal tea to cool down.
Zhao Zitong walked into the tea restaurant with brisk steps.
Li Ninghao looked annoyed, while Yu Wenyin looked cautious.
"Ning Hao, don't be angry. This old lady is unreasonable. We won't argue with her."
That tone, that attitude, it's just amazing.
Zhao Zitong rolled his eyes.
Anyway, in Zhao Zitong's heart, Yu Wenyin has never been so humble.
If a man is in a bad mood, let him stay away and digest it on his own.
A woman who keeps chattering around you is annoying...
When I lowered my head, I saw that Yu Wenyin's knees were red under her skirt.
Li Ninghao was just eating by himself, as if he didn't see anything.
Zhao Zitong pursed her lips:
"Wen Yin, Senior Brother Ning Hao..."
Yu Wenyin was shaking her boyfriend's arm.
While pouring him tea, she comforted him softly.
Hearing Zhao Zitong's voice, she turned her head and smiled:
"Zitong, come and sit over here."
After saying that, he patted the chair next to him.
Yu Wenyin just saw her boyfriend leaving angrily and hurried to chase after him.
She shouted loudly from behind, but Li Ninghao pretended not to hear and just walked ahead.
