Lord Grimth Returns - It seems like an old friend is coming

When I arrived at the office, I looked around habitually, only to find that Miao Sa hadn't arrived.Although she is a working lawyer and it doesn't matter if she is late, and people don't rely on her attendance, she still finds it a bit strange that she is never late.

Based on the new discovery last night as an entry point, I wrote a new court defense and emailed it to Miao Sa. Who knows that I didn't get a reply until I got off work at noon, but I waited for a phone call.

Miao Sa said: "I have something to do and I have to be late. I have a client named Yu Dong who will come in the afternoon. If I haven't arrived, you can receive me first. Just wait in my office."

"Oh good." Although I have gradually become acquainted with Miao Sa in private, but I am not ambiguous at all when she explains everything about work.After lunch, I helped her clean up the office by the way.

As soon as I sat in the chair, there was a knock on the door, and I was startled: "Please come in."

"Lawyer Ling." A middle-aged man walked in and sat down on the chair in front of me.

I quickly explained: "Sorry, I'm not Ling Lu, I'm her assistant."

"Oh, it's the same." The middle-aged man said politely.

Probably just for legal advice, I think.So he asked, "What's your surname, sir? How can I help you?"

"No need for your surname."

"Oh, you are Mr. Yu Dong, right?" I suddenly realized, "Lawyer Ling told me that you will come in the afternoon."

The middle-aged man nodded again and again, "That's right. Our Shengshi Group is a state-owned enterprise. We established a joint venture with Japan's S Corporation the year before last. The profit has not been very good in the past two years, so we plan to withdraw from the joint venture. You can see in the procedure How should we do it?"

I thought for a while and said, "Mr. Yu, since your company is a state-owned enterprise, you need to make an evaluation and obtain approval from the higher-level authorities before you can list on the exchange."

"Company S is willing to buy our equity, but the specific price has not yet been finalized." Mr. Yu said again.

"After your company is listed, S Company can participate in the bidding. If no other company bids or S Company's price is higher than any bidding company, it can purchase your company's equity."

"Is that all right?" Mr. Yu asked.

I nod. "Finally, you can go through the equity transfer procedures. Since you are a joint venture company, you still need to modify the original joint venture contract and articles of association according to the new equity structure, shareholder composition, etc., apply for approval from the business department, and then go to the industry and commerce department after obtaining a new approval certificate. The Bureau handles the formalities of changing the registration.”

Mr. Yu said: "If we hire your firm to act as the legal counsel for this project, including negotiations with S company and asset transfer, and of course including the subsequent procedures related to the joint venture company, how much is your quotation?"

"Well, I'm afraid we won't be able to answer you until Ling Lu comes back." I can't decide.

"Mr. Yu, how about this—" I was about to end the conversation, but Mr. Yu suddenly interrupted me: "Wait, wait, it's like this. I want to know, if possible, is this equity transfer your company? Isn't it possible to help our Shengshi Group to avoid taxes reasonably?"

"..." I was stunned, wondering for a long time, is this gentleman trying to evade taxes?

"Mr. Yu, my assistant has already explained to you very clearly that your company is a state-owned enterprise, and it needs to be evaluated when the equity is sold." Just when I didn't know how to answer, a Miao Sa voice suddenly came, and rescued me. I.

"Ling Lu!" I quickly got up and called her.

"What are you doing standing there stupidly? You haven't poured water yet."

Miao Sa doesn't like coffee, but likes to drink black tea, so she pours Mr. Yu a cup of coffee.I heard Miao Sa ask: "How much is your registered capital?"

"6000."

"RMB?"

"Yes."

"So how much equity is planned to be transferred?"

"20.00%."

"Then how about this, Mr. Yu, I will contact you after I have calculated it in detail?"

"Okay, okay, then I'll go first. Lawyer Ling, I look forward to a happy cooperation."

"Happy cooperation. By the way, I will send the cost of the conversation just now to your boss. Go slowly and don't send it."

"Oh yes, yes, that's right, I'll leave Lawyer Ling first." Mr. Yu touched his forehead and smiled embarrassingly.

As soon as Mr. Yu left, the person who had been sitting upright just now collapsed in the big armchair, raised and lowered his fingers and pinched his forehead.

"Are you unwell?" I was a little worried, could it be the hangover from last night?But she was very energetic when she called me.

Miao Sa waved her hand, "No."

I took a closer look and immediately understood. "Have you had a drink at noon?" I had to admire her for being able to talk about a case with a client so steadily and calmly when she was reeking of alcohol.

Miao Sa glanced at me, a little annoyed: "Are you a dog? I've been wearing so much perfume and still smell it?" After speaking, she sat up straight and pointed to the chair in front of her, "Sit."

Seeing me sit down honestly, she said seriously: "You made a mistake just now."

"You don't even sign the power of attorney, so you know everything you want to say. Do you have any sense of being a lawyer?" Miao Sa said, "The other party usually contacts several lawyers at the same time in such a big case. Lawyers, whoever offers the most suitable conditions will be used in the end."

I drooped my head and sighed deeply.Knowing that I was talking too much, what Miao Sa said was right, and I didn't confirm the entrustment relationship, and I didn't even have a consulting fee. I was just analyzing the case for others.

"Fortunately, I came back in time, so I didn't suffer losses in vain. You talked with him for 10 minutes just now, plus the 4 minutes I talked with later, rounded up to [-] cents, and I have sent the bill to their boss." Miao Sa's tense face gradually relaxed, and finally he laughed.

So that Mr. Yu originally wanted to take advantage of me and inquire about the case for nothing, but Miao Sa came back in time and stopped our conversation very professionally?Poor Mr. Yu, stealing a chicken is nothing but losing money.I remembered the conversation time she said just now, and couldn't help muttering: "Is what I talked about counted?"

"Of course."

"You did a good analysis earlier. There are too many people who want to find a lawyer to evade taxes. Next time you meet, you will know how to deal with it." Just as I was deep in thought, Miao Sa suddenly praised me generously.

I am a little incapable of accepting that the range is too big. Who is it that hits Yitianzao with a stick!Stretching out his head to glance at Miao Sa's bill, he immediately exclaimed: "Master, you are so expensive!"

Miao Sa glanced at me, her tone was complacent, her mood narrowed, and she rubbed her hands in front of her body several times. "You know I'm expensive?"

"...Uh, then did you mean yes or no when you answered him just now?" I remembered Miao Sa's answer, which was actually ambiguous.

My answer was a genuine blank stare. "Have you learned the tax law for nothing? Asking this kind of question."

"Oh, I see. You don't want to refuse directly, and you don't agree directly. You want to wait until you confirm the acceptance of the entrustment to see if you can charge extra fees?"

"Nonsense, don't look at how complicated this case is. You are responsible for the negotiation with S company and the transfer of assets, including the procedures related to the joint venture company. If you don't raise it additionally, tax avoidance will also be included in the follow-up work of the joint venture. Then I became passive."

I have gained a lot of experience, I was nodded repeatedly by her words, and I have a new understanding of Miao Sa.Sure enough, people are not judged by their appearance, who said that a lawyer has to be a serious aunt?Legally Blonde is not a legend either.

"Are you secretly worshiping me?" I was just thinking about becoming a successful barrister in the future, and Miao Sa's question made me blush immediately.

"Master, you are too shameless, who worships you?" I didn't admit it.

"Don't talk about each master. When you call me, I think of Tang Seng. I'm not that useless little boy." Miao Sa raised her hand to run through her hair, and continued to tell me shamelessly before I could answer: "Okay You go out and hold the door for me, I want to sleep for a while."

"Good master!" I did it on purpose.

She squinted at me for a moment, then suddenly smiled. "Go monkey head!"

"..." I really played to death to choose to bicker with her!
