Domination of the Heavens: Starting from Hong Kong Variety Show
Chapter 75 Barrister Sandy
Zhang Xian didn't know that the two old guys were talking about him behind his back.
Because he was feeling so good, Zhang Xian hugged A'e and lay on the bed afterwards.
Ah'e rested her head on Zhang Xian's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat: "Cousin, when will your house be ready?"
Hearing A'e's question, Zhang Xian understood that A'e didn't want to stay in the hotel anymore: "What's wrong? Is this hotel not good? Let's change to another one."
A'e glanced at Zhang Xian and whispered, "This place is great, but it costs several hundred yuan a day. It's such a waste of money."
Zhang first held A'e's hand and said, "It will take a few more days. I'll urge them and it should be done faster."
Although I had planned to buy a house before, I had no money. Later, when I had money, I asked Jimmy to build a factory.
So I never had time to buy a house.
It seems that I need to get a house first, otherwise it will not be a good idea to let A'e live in a hotel all the time.
The next morning, Zhang Xian called Jimmy to ask him to do this. In the end, he spent several thousand yuan a month to rent a standard apartment with three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom.
As for why I choose to rent instead of buy, it’s because it’s too expensive. Those in better locations cost thirty or forty thousand or forty thousand per square meter.
It was really scary. Zhang Xian, who needed funds, decided to rent it first.
As for buying a house? We'll talk about it later.
After the house was ready and A'e was taken over, Zhang Xian and Jimmy returned to the company. They had an appointment to meet with their lawyer today.
The meeting place is at a coffee shop.
On the way here, Jimmy introduced Zhang Xian to the other party. She was a female lawyer named Sandy, who had returned from studying in the UK.
So it was named like this.
When we arrived at the coffee shop, the other party had already arrived.
Sandy was wearing a suit and had short hair, which made her look neat and heroic.
Seeing the other person's appearance, Zhang Xian felt that the other person looked familiar: "Sandy? Sandy."
Sandy glanced at Zhang Xian, then asked, "Are you Mr. Zhang?"
Jimmy, who had met Sandy before, nodded, indicating that Zhang Xian was his boss.
Zhang Xian and Jimmy sat opposite each other: "I am Zhang Xian, hello Ms. Sandy."
Sandy took out the relevant documents from her bag: "This is our cooperation agreement, Mr. Zhang can take a look."
"Also, although Mr. Zhang's translation is good, I still hope that Mr. Zhang will call me by my English name, Sandy."
Zhang Xian nodded indifferently, then opened the cooperation agreement.
After reading it twice, Zhang Xian raised an objection: "Sandy, your agreement says that I have to pay you 50,000 consulting fees a month."
"And if there are other needs, will the required expenses be calculated separately?"
Sandy nodded as a matter of course: "Mr. Zhang, I am different from ordinary lawyers. I am a barrister."
"Generally speaking, a company like yours can only discuss matters with my assistant attorney..."
What Sandy said makes sense. At that time in Hong Kong, there was a huge gap in status between barristers and ordinary lawyers.
Barristers are lawyers who can appear in court and generally do not accept this kind of commercial cooperation.
Normally, a lawyer would take the case and then hand it over to a barrister, but Sandy’s case is special.
She had just returned from abroad and had not yet established a name for herself, so even small businesses like this still required her to come in person to negotiate.
"So Sandy is a great lawyer? This shows that it's worth it. I hope to add a time limit to this contract."
"I hope it will be ten thousand years."
Sandy laughed when she heard this. She was amused by the cleverness of the man in front of her.
You have to know that for a big lawyer, the older and more experienced he is, the higher his value is. This is why Sandy's offer was low because she just started her career.
Strictly speaking, Zhang Xian was her first client.
Although she smiled, Sandy rejected Zhang Xian's proposal: "Mr. Zhang, two years is already my maximum limit."
"If you're not satisfied, you can find someone else."
Sandy is very confident. As a woman who became a barrister before the age of 30, she has the capital to be confident.
Naturally, Zhang Xian would not let go of the great lawyer in front of him. Not to mention two years, even half a year would be profitable.
But I still need to bargain: "Sandy, of course I am satisfied. How about this, 100,000 a month, 10-year contract?"
"One hundred thousand?" Sandy was a little surprised. She didn't expect Zhang Xian to be so generous.
But thinking about it carefully, she was at a disadvantage: "Mr. Zhang, ten years? That's too long."
Seeing that Sandy was still not satisfied, Zhang Xian decided to change his words.
"Sandy, I really need a lawyer like this because our company is often harassed by evil forces and often has legal disputes."
"So we really need a great lawyer like you to join us as our company's legal advisor."
Seeing Zhang Xian say this, Sandy was a little curious about what Zhang Xian had done. Being blackmailed by gangsters in Hong Kong Island was not a new thing.
But frequent harassment is unusual.
"Mr. Zhang, may I ask what your company does?"
Zhang nodded first, then looked directly into Sandy's eyes: "Sandy, Hong Kong Island is full of evil forces, and ordinary people are suffering."
"Even if you sell fish balls on the street, you will be asked for protection money by gangsters. And they come in waves. You won't make a penny selling fish balls for a whole day."
"You have to pay a lot of money, and if you're unlucky, you'll get beaten up."
Sandy has lived abroad for a long time. Although she knew that the underworld was rampant, she did not expect it to be as serious as Mr. Zhang said.
"Mr. Zhang, are these people so arrogant? The police don't care?"
Zhang nodded first, then looked at Jimmy beside him: "Sandy, if you believe it, you can ask Jimmy. What I'm talking about is what happened to Jimmy. He is the person involved."
What Zhang Xian was talking about was what Jimmy had experienced before, so Jimmy could relate to it.
I immediately expressed my opinion: "Ms. Sandy, my boss is talking about what happened to me before. If my boss hadn't passed by and saved me, I might have been beaten to death or disabled now."
Sandy met Jimmy first and then met Zhang Xian. She knew Jimmy earlier than Zhang Xian.
Moreover, he met Jimmy in a university classroom, so he had a good impression of this studious young man.
She still believed what Jimmy said.
Sandy nodded: "So that's how it is."
Zhang Xian took over the conversation and continued:
"So I wondered if we could give the citizens of Hong Kong Island a sense of security on the basis of profitability."
"So, I created Zhenghua Security. All he needs to do is cooperate with us, and we will guarantee his personal safety."
"So, we often have legal disputes and we really need your help, Sandy. I wonder if Sandy is willing to do her part for the safety of Hong Kong Island?"
Such a high-sounding reason made Sandy at a loss as to what to do for a moment.
But a great lawyer is a great lawyer, with top-notch thinking ability, and he reacted immediately.
Sandy frowned and asked, "Mr. Zhang, so you guys are security guards, aren't you just collecting protection money?"
Zhang Xian immediately retorted: "Sandy, I didn't expect that someone as educated as you could be so superficial."
"What protection fee? We at Zhenghua Security are fundamentally different from the underworld."
