"Then, can the boss give me some directions to track down Xu Jun's hidden property?"
Qian Heng drank his saliva: "Now what do you know about Xu Jun's company 'Tuantuan Online' that is planning to go public?"
Cheng Yao dug out the business information she found: "I've read it. Since Xu Jun officially received his marriage certificate in China, Tuantuan Online has not experienced any abnormal changes, nor has there been any capital increase or equity changes."
Qian Heng raised his eyebrows: "If I were you, I wouldn't waste time investigating the operation of Tuantuan Online itself. Doesn't Xu Jun look stupid? Doesn't he know that Bai Xingmeng will stare at Tuantuan Online?"
"That… "
"Tuan Tuan Online has received four consecutive capital injections from Temasek, IDG, Sequoia Capital, and SoftBank in three years, and the amount of funds raised is about 210 million US dollars. It is currently preparing to list on NASDAQ in the United States."
Cheng Yao nodded: "Well, I have seen these too."
Qian Heng stared at Cheng Yao: "So you're done reading it? Don't you want to think about what information is in it?"
Cheng Yao thought, what information can there be here? Xu Jun and Bai Xingmeng had a prenuptial agreement first, these financings either happened before marriage or after divorce...
"Did you never check at all, if Chinese Internet companies want to go public outside the United States, they generally adopt the VIE model?"
"VIE?"
Cheng Yao was confused and looked at Qian Heng. The corner of Qian Heng's mouth twitched. Obviously, if he hadn't paid attention to his image, he might want to roll his eyes at this moment: "VIE is the acronym for Variable Interest Entities. According to The English literal translation is "variable interest entity", which is called "agreement control" in our country, which means that the listed entities registered overseas are separated from the domestic business operation entities, and the overseas listed entities control the domestic business through agreements. Entity, the business entity is the VIE of the listed entity.”
It was Cheng Yao's first encounter with this new term, and she was busy taking notes and assimilating the new knowledge in her mind.
"But why do we study the VIE structure? Isn't that what lawyers who do company listing and mergers and acquisitions need to learn..."
Qian Heng stopped, and he glanced at Cheng Yao: "What kind of existence is a family lawyer in your heart?"
"Um?"
"Do you think family lawyers are really just helping people mediate marriage disputes and investigate cheating? So you only need to understand the "Marriage Law" and then add the "Inheritance Law" to your death? You don't need to be proficient in other types of laws?" Qian Heng Heng laughed, "This is true for ordinary family lawyers, but I am not an ordinary family lawyer. A truly top-notch and professional family lawyer must be an excellent commercial lawyer at the same time. With the fiscal and tax laws, you can provide customers with differentiated services that others cannot replace, you can broaden your service market, and you can only pay for it even if you have a bad temper like me."
Cheng Yao muttered in her heart, it was the first time she heard someone say that she had a bad temper in such a straightforward tone...
"You don't understand the business structure, and you don't know anything about the listing of Internet companies. How can you help the parties investigate the possible hidden property of the other party?"
"I sorted out all the relationship diagrams of various holdings of Xu Jun Enterprises, as well as the relationship diagrams of affiliated companies and subsidiaries. During the marriage, 15 companies were established. Although I don't know the listing situation of Tuantuan Online, I know that Just keep an eye on these 15 companies that can be divided as marital property.”
Qian Heng snorted coldly: "Of course you can include all these 15 companies in the list of re-divided properties without thinking. However, there are still 2 months before the statute of limitations expires. Within 2 months, you have Do you want to straighten out the financial and equity situations of these 15 companies one by one, and find out which company has hidden property? Xu Jun is not a fool, he also found a special accounting and taxation team, do you think negative profits Financial reports, how many loopholes can we find? What’s more, many Internet companies in China did lose money before going public.”
Cheng Yao bit her lip and said nothing.
"So we must find out which one or two of these 15 companies played a crucial role in Tuantuan Online's listing, focus on investigation and evidence collection, and make good use of the critical timing of listing."
"Okay, you really don't understand anything." Qian Heng frowned, "Then let me explain to you from the beginning, first of all, do you know why Xu Jun chose to go public in the United States instead of China? "
"I know this! Because if Tuantuan Online wants to be listed on the domestic stock market, it must meet the requirements in terms of revenue scale and profitability. However, Internet companies may suffer losses in the early stages, and the review of domestic listings is very long. It is complicated, so many companies will transfer to overseas listing.”
After Cheng Yao finished answering, Qian Heng finally looked better: "It seems that you can still save it."
"..."
"Then Chinese companies choose to list overseas. There are usually two models. One is that domestic companies directly list overseas, but the direct listing needs to meet the net assets of more than 400 million yuan at the same time, and the after-tax profit in the past year was 60 million yuan. More than RMB, and the standard of raising funds of more than 50 million U.S. dollars. You should also know that the scale of income of Internet companies cannot be reached, so we can only seek another mode of indirect listing, that is, transfer assets To holding companies set up in tax havens such as Cayman and the Virgin Islands, use the VIE structure to go public.”
Cheng Yao listened fascinated, and subconsciously asked: "Then what? How did the structure of VIE be listed indirectly through the holding companies in these tax havens? What impact will it have on Xu Jun and Tuantuan Online? Why do we study the structure of VIE?" Will it be the breakthrough point to find hidden property?"
"I cooked all the food for you, and you still want me to feed you?"
"..."
Qian Heng snorted coldly: "I've already pointed out the direction for you, and you can check the rest yourself. To become an excellent lawyer, the ability to think independently and study is essential. Don't keep thinking about being a party member. .”
Cheng Yao nodded in shame.
Although she was trained by Qian Heng, Cheng Yao was convinced this time.
Qian Heng has a bad temper and is sick of being a boss, but his business ability is really strong. Cheng Yao saw the huge gap between herself and him. In front of Qian Heng who was talking about work and professional issues, she really only deserves to be a A shivering weak chicken was trained by capable people, Cheng Yao was very convinced.
"and many more."
At this moment, Qian Heng stopped Cheng Yao who was about to go back to the room: "I am used to eating a little fruit an hour after a meal."
"There are apples, kiwis and bananas I bought in the kitchen, you can eat as you like."
Qian Heng didn't move at all: "Oh, I've been talking to you for so long, I'm thirsty."
Cheng Yao stared at Qian Heng with wide eyes, she paused, and then said tentatively: "What you imply is not what I think, is it?"
"That's what you think." Qian Heng also looked back at her without shame, "I'm tired and can't walk anymore."
My friend, the distance from the kitchen to your current dining table is only a dozen steps! With your height and long legs, it only takes a few steps! ! ! I bought all the fruits for you! You really want me to cut it up and feed it to your mouth! ! Didn't you just say, don't be a hand-reaching party? ! Is such an obvious double standard really okay
Just as Cheng Yao was slandering inwardly, Qian Heng's devilish voice sounded again.
"Do you want to ask me again next time?"
Okay, okay, okay, you have the final say!
Cheng Yao stopped being entangled in an instant. She quickly went to the kitchen and peeled some fruit for Qian Heng. The future will be long. Qian Heng is right, it's all about green economy now, Cheng Yao decided that she should also take the path of sustainable development.
She decided to treat her boss better in the future. This is like saving money. Sooner or later, she should be able to get a bigger return from Qian Heng if she saves and withdraws in lump sums!
—
With Qian Heng's guidance, Cheng Yao immediately felt that she had opened up her mind a lot. When she went to work the next day, she buried herself in looking up the relevant legal knowledge of VIE.
She was so engrossed that she didn't even know that another partner, Wu Jun, had returned to the firm.
"Wu par walked past you just now, and seemed to stop when he came to your table. You didn't notice it at all?" Tan Ying moved closer to Cheng Yao, "Today's Wu par is using Hermès land , this taste is sure enough for him to control it without any pressure..."
Wu Jun didn't stay in the big office area as usual today. Because he doesn't lead a team, he never assigns work to people or trains them. In addition, he has a pair of romantic peach blossom eyes, although he is not like Qian Heng. He looks like a celestial being, but he speaks witty and witty, and he looks tall and upright. He is very popular in the institute.
He went straight into Qian Heng's office.
"Knock."
What greeted Jun Wu was Qian Heng's unflattering words.
"Do we still need to knock on the door? It's a friendship that we slept together. It's you who don't even reply to one of my text messages. But even though you don't love me anymore, I still love you deeply. Look, this It's the chocolate I bought for you in Belgium."
Qian Heng watched him put down the chocolate, still with a cold expression on his face.
Wu Jun has long been used to Qian Heng's style. After he finished speaking, he didn't mind. He smiled and dragged a chair, and sat opposite Qian Heng: "Cheng Yao, I saw her."
Qian Heng finally raised his head, and he snorted coldly: "That's why you sent me 'I miss you', right? Miss me? Heh."
"Cheng Xi's younger sister, I'm very curious. I took a look at it just now. It's different from Cheng Xi's intellectual beauty, but she's really pretty." Wu Jun smiled, "It's a bit like a beauty, fortunately, I I don’t know it and I’m not enlightened, if I dress up properly, I’m afraid there will be some jealousy in the office.”
"I don't think so, so it looks okay."
"This is the first time you've given someone an evaluation of 'okay'." Wu Jun smiled meaningfully, "So is that why you asked her to join your team?"
Qian Heng put down the documents in his hand: "Of course, I will put them in my team and take good care of them."
Wu Jun spread his hands: "Cheng Xi, please, please. Although her sister's resume is not particularly good, but she has no flaws, so I will help. After all, the younger sister of my junior."
Qian Heng hummed and said with a smile: "You still help out? I don't know your selfishness. But why doesn't Cheng Yao know that she is a related household?"
"Cheng Xi didn't want to hurt her self-confidence, and wanted to make her feel that she was the king who advanced by her own ability, so she asked me to keep it a secret."
Qian Heng pursed his lips: "You know how much I hate relational accounts."
Wu Jun played with the decorations on Qian Heng's table, and changed the subject: "I heard that you asked Cheng Yao to be in charge of finding clues about the hidden property in Xu Jun's Bai Xingmeng divorce case? I can see where there is a problem, but it is too difficult for a newcomer to check, let alone she has just joined the job."
"It was because she had just joined the job that she was asked to check."
"Um?"
"If the probationary period is terminated in this way, the economic compensation paid will be relatively small."
"..." Wu Jun was speechless, "Such a beautiful little girl is so eye-catching in the prison. Why are you targeting her so much?"
"I don't keep vases." Qian Heng said coldly, "Before she got off work today, she couldn't understand the meaning of VIE and couldn't find the direction of the current case, so I fired her on the grounds that she was incompetent for the job."
"Not giving any clues or pointers?"
Qian Heng was stunned for a moment, he thought of the "slightly irritating" treatment of Cheng Yao last night, but he still opened his eyes indifferently and told nonsense.
"No."
"Qian Heng, you are so cold, you waited until the sperm was inactivated and you didn't find a partner."
Qian Heng pursed his lips: "I'm not married, and I don't like children."
"You're making an excuse for not being able to find a partner!"
"Wu Jun, you..."
However, before Qian Heng finished speaking, he was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door.
Before Qian Heng could react, Cheng Yao appeared at his door, with an uncontrollable excitement on her face, which made her bright black eyes shine, Qian Heng only looked at her With a glance at his face, he subconsciously turned his head sideways.
At that moment, only the four words "beautiful women and troubles" flashed in his mind.
