Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

At the invitation of Zhao Wenhao, Sun Zhaoming and Yao Kai took their seats.

There was not much greeting or courtesy between the two sides. Zhao Wenhao directly asked Sun Zhaoming about the international patent infringement.

Sun Zhaoming seems very confident about his profession.

He not only introduced the relevant situation to Zhao Wenhao in detail, but also selected some of the cases commissioned by their law firm and gave them professional analysis.

Of course, these are just a test of Sun Zhaoming by Zhao Wenhao.

Since the other party was very professional, Zhao Wenhao no longer hid anything and directly explained the situation of his company to him. He also asked him to join Zhou Min's team and provide them with professional knowledge.

Not only that, if there is a need to sue the infringing party in the future, Zhao Wenhao will also give priority to their law firm.

After the discussion, both parties signed a cooperation agreement on behalf of their respective companies.

"Lawyer Sun, your firm should also cooperate with companies in Hong Kong Island and serve as their legal advisor, right?"

Now that the main issues were settled, Zhao Wenhao felt relieved and started chatting.

Although it is just chatting, of course there is a certain purpose.

The main reason is that New Century Investment Company is currently more like a shell company. Although it has made certain investments, Zhao Wenhao has mostly just bought some property units and invested in some stocks.

Since you want to improve the company's structure, you naturally have to get the indispensable legal advisor.

There is no need to bother two parties with one matter. With a well-known lawyer present, it is natural to seek new cooperation.

"Our law firm does undertake related business, but our business in this area is mainly in Hong Kong Island. I wonder if Mr. Zhao has any business in Hong Kong Island?" Sun Zhaoming asked immediately.

Zhao Wenhao nodded and replied confidently, "I have an investment company whose main business is in Hong Kong Island. I am currently planning to find a law firm to serve as our company's legal advisor."

In fact, Sun Zhaoming had another meaning. Their law firm is a well-known organization, and a partner like him would not take on ordinary small business.

Even if they accept the case, under normal circumstances, they will pass it on to other lawyers or trainee lawyers.

Therefore, what he wanted to know was the scale of Zhao Wenhao's company in Hong Kong Island.

Of course, such words cannot be said openly.

As Sun Zhaoming's former colleague, Yao Kai naturally knew what he meant.

Therefore, I hinted to Zhao Wenhao.

Yao Kai was not sure what New Century Investment Company was currently doing, but Zhao Wenhao, who got the hint, naturally explained the company's current situation to Sun Zhaoming.

At the same time, he also consulted them, as he was not familiar with many situations in Hong Kong Island. This included whether to advertise directly or use a headhunting company if he wanted to recruit people later.

When Sun Zhaoming heard that Zhao Wenhao had invested more than 2 million Hong Kong dollars, and that this company was actually a shell company with only one employee, he couldn't help but scratch his head.

Of course he is willing to take on such corporate business.

So Sun Zhaoming gave Zhao Wenhao a detailed introduction to the situation of their law firm and what they could do if they took over as legal counsel for New Century Investment Company.

There are still a few tricks here, which are somewhat different from those in China.

For example, if it's just drafting some documents, helping to resolve some disputes, etc., the fees are relatively low, and there is no need for a big lawyer like him to come forward.

But if you want in-depth cooperation involving all aspects, the fees will naturally increase accordingly.

In this regard, Zhao Wenhao naturally hopes for in-depth cooperation. After all, his time in Hong Kong Island is limited. In this way, many things in the later stage can be entrusted to the law firm to help handle.

As for the price, being expensive certainly has its advantages. Zhao Wenhao doesn't care about the annual expenses now.

The two sides then discussed improving the company's organizational structure.

"I think we can take a two-pronged approach," Sun Zhaoming suggested. "For ordinary employees, we just need to post job postings and recruit talent. For senior management, we need to contact headhunters to find industry elites.

This ensures we can recruit talent at all levels to meet the company’s diverse needs.”

Zhao Wenhao pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement. "Then please develop a detailed recruitment plan, clearly defining the requirements and remuneration for each position, as well as the recruitment process and timeline. I'll send you the specific requirements later."

Since an agreement on in-depth cooperation had been reached, Zhao Wenhao was no longer polite and began to order Sun Zhaoming to do things.

Anyway, he is not very familiar with this place. Since he is paying someone to do the job, as long as the other party completes it efficiently, it is understandable for him to pay the corresponding compensation.

"Mr. Zhao, I suggest that you recruit for other positions or use a headhunter, but for the finances, it's best to find a trustworthy person to take charge."

Sun Zhaoming put himself in the right position and immediately began to consider Zhao Wenhao.

Zhao Wenhao was certainly well aware of the financial issues and wanted to find a reliable person to take charge.

But he was unfamiliar with the place and didn't know anyone in Hong Kong.

Unless transferred from Hengyuan Electronics.

And for now, it seems that this is the only way.

"I'll make the corresponding arrangements for the financial staff, but they'll be in place later. How about this, you help with the recruitment first, and then I'll take over once my people arrive."

After much deliberation, Zhao Wenhao still felt uneasy and decided to transfer people from the mainland.

As for personnel, he had just given it some thought and currently had two candidates. One was the company's Deputy Financial Director, He Zhengsheng, Xiang Zhifeng's distant cousin, a graduate of Xuanzhou University of Finance and Economics, who had been introduced to Hengyuan Electronics.

Because of Xiang Zhifeng's relationship, He Zhengsheng obeys Zhao Wenhao's orders in the company.

The other is Li Hongmei, a company veteran and Zhang Bingkun's sister-in-law, who joined Hengyuan Electronics from its inception.

However, Li Hongmei is a woman with three children at home, so it is probably not very convenient for her to work in Hong Kong Island.

Therefore, Zhao Wenhao planned to talk to He Zhengsheng after returning to see if he was willing to come.

Of course, since you are asking someone to come and work, there must be corresponding promises, including whether they will be settled in Hong Kong Island in the future.

I believe this will be a great temptation to He Zhengsheng.

"In that case, I'll start preparing immediately. I'll be arranging a job fair soon, and I'll give you the recruiters' information so you can select."

Sun Zhaoming didn't say anything else, then stood up and prepared to leave.
