Reborn Tycoon Rise

Chapter 22 Lawyer

The summer in June is like a clown that changes its face. It was raining just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye the sun jumps out. There were more and more pedestrians on the street soon. The owners of various stalls were cleaning up the sewage and debris in front of their doors, and the sounds of various hawkings started one after another.

Xu Zhi walked from the winding path to a nearby main road, waited for a few minutes, and hailed a taxi.

"Where are you going, boss?" The taxi driver didn't care about Xu Zhi's age and always addressed him as the boss.

Xu Zhidao: "Central, Standard Chartered Street."

The driver said: "Okay, sit tight, boss, fasten your seat belt!"

After passing through the Hung Hom Cross Harbor Tunnel, we soon arrived at Standard Chartered Street. Xiangjiang is a very strange city. It ranks among the top in the world in terms of population density, but it does not suffer from traffic jams. Thanks to the Hong Kong government, house prices are expensive and parking spaces are also expensive, so not many people buy cars.

Xu Zhi went directly to the building management, took out all his lawyer business cards, and was arranged to enter the elevator. The elevator in this building is card-operated. Without the help of the property management, outsiders have no chance to get up.

"Yao Dazhuang?" The receptionist led Xu Zhi to the door and called softly.

"Oh, please come in." The barrister, who was thinking, saw the two people outside and greeted them quickly.

Xu Zhi walked in and said with a smile: "Sorry to disturb Yao Sheng."

"We lawyers survive by interrupting. The more you interrupt, the better!" Yao Mingcheng said with a smile. He is one of the senior lawyers at Yuecheng Law Firm. A few days ago, Xu Zhi asked a lawyer to consult on the contract. He would not personally take part in such a trivial matter, but when he learned that it was an agreement with Jiahe, he immediately drove away the newly graduated lawyer and personally participated in it.

Xu Zhi sat across from him and handed the contract given by He Guanchang to Yao Mingcheng. He had already added some modifications of his own when they were in the taxi.

Yao Mingcheng signaled to Xu Zhi to feel free, and turned over his hands to read the contract.

After a long while, Yao Mingcheng said: "There is no big problem with this contract. Although many of them restrict Xu Sheng's behavior, they are not too excessive. As for restricting financing, there are also a few clauses in it, but the company's operation methods There are really too many, and Xu Sheng will have to hire some professional accountants to audit the company's finances in the future, so this clause must be added to the contract, and you must have the right to audit the company's finances."

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "This is something I didn't expect."

Yao Mingcheng said: "You must control the novel aspect. I don't recommend giving half of it, but because Xu Sheng you have to borrow such a large sum of money, I'm afraid this is the only way."

Xu Zhidao: "I understand. I have put the entire novel in the bank's safe as you suggested. No one can get it except me."

Yao Mingcheng suggested putting it in a bank safe for safekeeping, and Xu Zhi followed suit. However, only Xu Zhi knew which bank to put it in. Yao Mingcheng was very professional and did not ask for these details.

Yao Mingcheng said: "As long as the content of the novel is in your hands, you don't have to worry about Jiahe doing anything outrageous. As for the half of the novel that the other party requested, you can't give it to them casually. I can give them some of my opinions, but then Half of the novel can only be given to Jiahe after 500,000 is credited to your account."

Xu Zhi frowned and said, "I'm afraid Jiahe won't be so easy to talk to!"

Yao Mingcheng smiled and said: "Then it depends on how sincere Jiahe is to cooperate. This business plan has a good future. Although Jiahe will pay, the core is in our hands, so as long as we negotiate slowly, it shouldn't be a problem."

Xu Zhi thought for a while and said: "I don't have much time to negotiate slowly. Don't worry about some unimportant details. As long as the equity is not diluted and the funds can be received, other aspects can also be appropriately compromised."

Yao Mingcheng nodded and said: "Okay, you have the final say, but there is one more thing. According to the agreement between you and Zou Wenhuai, Jiahe will be responsible for the distribution of the movie after the filming is completed. It is best to sign another contract for this, otherwise it will not be there by then." Unnecessary trouble may arise.”

Xu Zhidao: "Okay, then Yao Sheng has done the hard work."

Yao Mingcheng said: "Yes, this is our responsibility. Jiahe's contract sample has been released. I will go to Jiahe in person to negotiate in a few days. Will Xu Sheng go with me?"

Xu Zhidao: "Okay, please contact me in advance when the time comes."

………

In the evening, Xu Zhi slowly took the bus back to his home.

After careful calculation, I found that my "first pot of gold" was almost exhausted. Apart from the problem of spending money lavishly during this period, the biggest expense was lawyer fees, eating people without spitting out bones, and one-hour consultation fees. HK$100, which is still a discounted price.

In the next few days, Xu Zhi, Jiahe and others conducted two negotiations on the contract. Fortunately, there were basically no problems in the big aspects. Some small details were debated and settled.

According to the agreement, after Jiahe registers the company, it will inject 3 million Hong Kong dollars, and Xu Zhi will acquire 10% of the shares in the novel. However, these shares will be locked and will only have dividend rights for the time being. He must wait until the newspaper sales stabilize in the future for 3 consecutive months. Newspapers can continue to make profits.

Originally we were planning to set the sales volume, but we negotiated for several days with no results based on the sales volume. If it was less, Jiahe would not be willing, but if it was more, Xu Zhi would not be willing. Because there are too many tricks here, if Jiahe deliberately does nothing, it will be difficult for sales to reach the peak. As for the poor sales of newspapers, it is difficult to define whether it is because the news content is not good or the novels are not attractive. There is no direct data on these. We can only make rough guesses based on various circumstances. If this is true, there will be a lot of wrangling in the future. .

Locking in profits is much simpler. Xu Zhi has the right to check the finances every three months. Of course, Jiahe can still falsify, but he must pay attention to the big aspects, otherwise once he is found to be falsifying, this contract will be a trivial matter. , reported to the Independent Commission Against Corruption, suspected of tax evasion, even Zou Wenhuai couldn't afford it.

As a result, on June 15, Jiahe and Xu Zhi reached an agreement on a cooperation agreement. In the future, Zou Wenhuai was the one to speak out on the issue of film distribution. Except for the distribution in the Wanwan region, Jiahe was responsible for all of Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.

On June 16, Xu Zhi had an extra HK$500,000 in his HSBC account.
