Can following the rules be called rebirth?

Chapter 105, Section 103: Discussing the Future Over Wine (4k)

"Dynamic Light Waves"

Xiao Hui unconsciously repeated it, then lowered his head and opened Bilibili to search, feeling that the word didn't sound like the Crayon Shin-chan anime he watched as a child.

There are tons of snippets of the above keywords. He randomly picked one and clicked on it, becoming engrossed within minutes.

No wonder.
So that's what dynamic light waves are!

This streamer named uno is so sexy.
The new employees swallowed hard, the hot pot bubbled and simmered, and everyone continued chatting animatedly.

"Yes, I arranged for someone to clean and decorate the rooftop garden again. It's perfect for enjoying the evening breeze, admiring the view, and discussing business."

"Mr. Zhou, you've never been to the rooftop before, have you?"

In a quiet corner of the little garden, a familiar female baritone voice suddenly rang out.

“I haven’t been here.”

The man paused for a moment, followed by a hearty laugh.

"Hahaha, someone's already gone ahead. Looks like everyone knows this is a great place!"

What the hell!

Caught red-handed!

This is how to do?
The employees, who were happily enjoying their hotpot, suddenly exchanged glances and saw utter panic in each other's eyes.

But hot pot is not like other fast food dinners, and there's no time to clean up. Looking at the steaming water in front of me, I can only give up and do whatever I want.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou! Hello, Assistant He!"

Finally, Shi Fangfang, who had the most work experience, was the first to stand up, forced a bright smile, and looked at the three newcomers on the rooftop.

"Hello, Uno teacher~"

To quickly stand out in the workplace, you need to be meticulous.

She quickly matched the girl standing next to President Zhou with the beautiful and cheerful live streamer who had been acting as a guest influencer that night.

That's the reaction!
"Hello."

Sure enough, Du Jianuo blinked and responded immediately, her face showing a flattered expression.

"Are you having a team-building event? Is the hot pot good?"

Zhou Mingyuan immediately noticed the employees' mood, smiled, pulled over a few chairs, and sat down next to them.

"It tastes great, it's our own seasoning, Mr. Zhou. Why don't you try some?"

Compared to her male colleagues, Shi Fangfang was noticeably more tactful.

"We still have a lot of vegetables and meat that haven't been cooked yet. Here are some disposable chopsticks."

"Assistant He, Teacher Uno."

After a few short exchanges, Shi Fangfang was no longer so flustered.

The leaders suddenly ran to the rooftop, certainly not to catch any employee slacking off.

Maybe they're just like me, wanting to find a quiet place with nice scenery to chat.

Our meeting was nothing more than an accident.

She smiled and bent over to distribute disposable bowls and chopsticks.

"We didn't expect to get a free meal at the company. Well then, we won't be polite!"

Zhou Mingyuan readily accepted the tableware, pulled up a chair, and mingled with everyone.

The employees' small group suddenly turned into a casual chat over a meal.

As they chatted, the employees quickly realized that the young CEO, Mr. Zhou, was completely down-to-earth.

Whether he was starting a conversation, taking over the discussion, or expressing his opinions, he always maintained a polite attitude of equal discussion.

There was absolutely no imperiousness or arrogance typical of those in positions of authority.

On the contrary, He Min, who usually interacted more with the group and was relatively serious and earnest, sat to the side without saying a word, and spent most of the time listening.

Listen quietly.

"Oh my god, Uno teacher, I honestly didn't recognize you at first, you look even better than in the live stream!"

Shi Fangfang and Du Jianuo were sitting next to each other. She held back for a while before finally finding an opportunity to praise them.

This was certainly not just her idea.

He Ming and Xiao Hui, who were standing next to her, wished they could do everything they could to get their attention from her.

Today, Du Jianuo is acting out of character, exuding an air of luxury and glamour from her clothes to her accessories.

She didn't seem like the ordinary news anchor who appeared on camera that night; her demeanor and gestures were surprisingly like those of a celebrity.

A true star.

As a white-collar worker with many years of experience, Shi Fangfang has a keen eye for detail.

You might not be able to tell from a distance, but Du Jianuo was sitting right next to her, so she could see him clearly without even needing to wear glasses.

The necklace around Du Jianuo's neck was sparkling; it was Cartier's classic TRINITY cushion-shaped pendant.

Her eyes widened immediately.

But the shock didn't stop there. When Du Jianuo rolled up a small section of her sleeve to pick up some food, she also recognized the butterfly-shaped bracelet on her fair wrist.

Shi Fangfang displayed a little trick, pretending that the chopsticks had fallen on the ground and bending down to get closer.

This seems to be...
Van Cleef & Arpels' new products!
Sweet Butterflies bracelet.

The white-collar woman couldn't help but silently make plans in her mind.

My goodness, how much would this whole outfit cost from head to toe?
It's true that Uno teacher has a very high income.

But by any measure, it seems impossible for her to afford these things overnight.

So, it was President Zhou who spent a fortune to buy a horse's bones, using money to win people's hearts?

As for He Ming and Xiao Hui, Shi Fangfang's thoughts and gossip-loving nature were quite different.

They could hardly recognize the luxury items Du Jianuo was wearing at first glance, nor could they judge their value; they simply thought they looked good.

Uno's makeup is beautiful, her long dress is beautiful, and even the bright red nail polish on the toes of her high-heeled sandals is exceptionally beautiful.

As the ancients said, "Living conditions influence one's temperament, and upbringing influences one's physical condition."

Faced with Du Jianuo's skyrocketing value and popularity, Zhou Mingyuan's response was simple and straightforward.

He dragged Du Jianuo to Jiangcheng International Plaza to personally select and have clothes tailored to her measurements.

He was completely adorned with luxury goods from head to toe, spending lavishly and showing his heartfelt intentions, which brought tears to the eyes of his senior.

Du Jianuo was deeply moved by her boss's unconditional investment in her.

Even if we didn't take away the revenue she brought to the company, it wouldn't be enough to pay for her current makeover, even if we used all the revenue of 11 that night.

But Zhou Mingyuan didn't feel sorry for him at all.

Whether it's for economic reasons or emotional reasons, from whichever perspective he considers it, he must make Du Jianuo completely devoted to him.

To forge a deeper connection with her, to let her experience a wider world, and to empower her with greater capabilities.

Therefore, when Du Jianuo reappeared in front of passersby, she gave people a refreshing feeling.

feel
It was as if a barrier had been created between her and ordinary people.

"It's not that exaggerated."

Du Jianuo pursed her lips and politely placed a piece of meat into Zhou Mingyuan's bowl.

"Livestreams use beauty filters, but offline interactions only detract from the experience, right?"

"Seriously! Uno, you have an even better presence offline. This necklace suits you perfectly; it feels like it was made for you!"

Shi Fangfang complimented him without hesitation.

"Thank you sister~"

The curly-haired girl couldn't help but giggle and turned her head to look at Zhou Mingyuan.

"It turns out that Mr. Zhou really has a good eye. The two sales clerks said the same thing when I was in the store today. At the time, I thought it was just their sales pitch."

"Fangfang is absolutely speaking from the bottom of her heart!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Shi Fangfang's ice-breaking was quite successful. The employees present were all young people, and their ages were not too different. They had a lot in common, so getting along well wasn't a problem at all.

"Mr. Zhou, when exactly can we find a law firm to cooperate with?"

Compared to Shi Fangfang and others who felt no pressure to slack off, Xiao Hui, who had just joined the company, was full of enthusiasm.

"."

Zhou Mingyuan looked at He Min: "Where is the progress?"

"Yes, I just contacted the law firm that offered my license a few days ago, and they refused outright."

He Min bit her lip, her expression showing great distress.

"How did you communicate?"

“I found my mentor lawyer and told him about my current situation at the legal consulting firm, but he waved his hand and didn’t want to listen anymore.”

"We can't talk like that."

Zhou Mingyuan smiled, put down his chopsticks, and, meeting everyone's curious gazes, began to explain.

"You need to talk about the source of the case, compliance, and taxation to pique the other party's interest."

“If you get straight to the point, some lawyers will be resistant.”

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Mingyuan changed the adjective again.

"To say you're resistant is being polite; some lawyers are actually criticizing legal consulting firms."

"First of all, this is not the overall judgment of the legal profession on legal consulting firms. Even if one person disagrees, it is just the personal judgment of a few lawyers."

"The formation of each person's judgment is related to many factors, including personal factors, such as the possibility that he has actually come into contact with a fraudulent consulting firm; cognitive factors, such as the stereotype that consulting firms are fraudulent even if he has never come into contact with them; and emotional factors as well."

"To put it jokingly, the success of my peers is more distressing than my own failures."

"That seems to be the case."

He Min seemed to be deep in thought, and Xiao Hui, sitting opposite her, also showed an expression of sudden realization.

Due to the restrictions imposed by laws, regulations, and industry norms in the legal profession, lawyers and law firms face numerous limitations in their commercial promotion efforts.

Legal consulting firms, however, do not have such restrictions. As long as the promotion of their legal services is within the scope permitted by the Advertising Law, they are free to do so without any taboos.

As expected, our company will soon launch targeted promotions and acquire a large number of case leads; all that's missing is more qualifications to represent clients in litigation.

Law firms, despite being qualified to handle cases, are hampered by a lack of clients due to their limited promotional skills and capabilities.

That is
When discussing cooperation, the focus should be on one's own strengths, rather than reinforcing one's identity.

Each has its own needs and complements the strengths and weaknesses of others; only in this way can there be opportunities and motivation for mutual cooperation.

"Since the law firm you're using doesn't recognize this, just switch to another one. It won't matter anyway."

Zhou Mingyuan shrugged, his tone still nonchalant.

"You don't need to focus on talking to those big firms. Being more down-to-earth will actually give you more opportunities."

“I see there are several law firms around the industrial park, and they are very close by. I could definitely go and have a chat with them.”

This is also the standard way of fighting in later generations.

Many law firms directly hold shares in or control law firms, while some law firm lawyers hold shares in or control law firms.

Those who are bold enough will have the two departments work together in one office.

It's become impossible to tell whether the office staff inside are from a law firm or a legal company.

Some law firms are even directly established by the investors of legal consulting companies.

Some law firms are actually funded and established by lawyers.

However, the registrants and founders do not appear in person; they mostly operate under anonymity or through nominees.

This is no challenge for lawyers who study rules every day.

This operation has another advantage.

Legal consulting firms can enjoy the preferential tax rates for small and micro enterprises.

Law firms, being non-legal entities, must pay taxes on their operating income according to the progressive tax rate, subject to audit.

By merging the two businesses, fees and operations can be shared among them, thereby transferring costs and maximizing tax optimization.

Times are changing, ideas are changing, and behaviors are changing.

Legal consulting firms that rely on traffic-driven customer acquisition will first impact law firms that profit from case acquisition.

Moving closer to case sources is an inevitable trend.

This is reality, just like how brick-and-mortar stores face the impact of e-commerce.

How traditional law firms view law companies in the context of the marketization of the legal industry, and how they break free from conventional thinking, will determine their future development and destiny.

"Okay, I'll make a list when I get back and start implementing it tomorrow."

He Min nodded and took out her phone to write it down in her notes.

Everyone continued chatting.

The employees discovered that Zhou Mingyuan, the company's boss, was not only approachable but also had a considerable understanding of the core business.

Whether it's operations, technology, sales, or product, he can guide confused employees.

"Yes, those of you in operations don't need to worry at all."

"For our company, Fangfang, you can acquire customers at scale in the front-end market, get leads at a lower cost, and have corresponding conversion capabilities; He Ming in the back-end needs to focus on productization and standardization."

"This depends on whether the market chosen by the front end can be standardized. As long as the back end determines the standards for delivery and service, there is actually not much difference between serving 100 people and serving 10000 people."

Zhou Mingyuan began to speak in a detailed and engaging manner.

He Ming and Shi Fangfang exchanged a glance and remained silent.

"Mr. Zhou, what about sales?"

The colleague in charge of sales hesitated before speaking.

"Yes, there's another aspect. Our requirement for sales is not to consider the feasibility of the case, because to be honest, you can't really figure it out. Just try your best to close the deal."

Zhou Mingyuan smiled and spread his hands, speaking the truth.

"What if a customer complains?"

The other party stood there, stunned.

Is this how you do business?
"You don't need to worry about that at all."

Zhou Mingyuan was confident.

"Why do we rarely receive customer complaints?"

"Because we designed the rules long ago."

"If we find that a case cannot be carried out when it is delivered to the lawyer, we will refund the money directly."

The man stated frankly, "So whether a case can be processed is determined by our delivery department."

"Why am I so sure that your sales team can't assess feasibility?"

Zhou Mingyuan continued.

"Because you haven't worked with frontline clients, their needs must be incredibly diverse."

"For example, we encountered a case with a value of 2 yuan. The client insisted on having a lawyer appear in court in person, and paid 8000 yuan for it."

"This is actually very unreasonable."

Everyone put down their chopsticks and listened attentively.

"The client's reasons are: First, I have money; second, I care about my reputation and want to get the debt back. I want to make the other party suffer, and I can even make the other party become a defaulter so that I can be satisfied."

Zhou Mingyuan crossed his arms: "Do you guys think this is feasible?"

"."

Some people in the room knew the law, while others did not, but no one responded.

In the end, it was the boss who stepped in to clarify and answer the questions.

"Sales staff often cannot judge these kinds of requests that are not simply aimed at getting payment."

"But a lawyer can."
