Zhou Liwen said: "I know something about the consultant fee for Xiangjiang Company to hire legal counsel. According to the previous fees of Lawyer Pang, it should be about 3 million yuan per year, right? Of course, this does not include the fees for court opening and lawsuits?"

Pang Yishan didn't think Zhou Liwen would say anything new. In his opinion, at most, he mainly played the emotional card, and used his current situation to bargain with him, intending to use a small fee to accept the conditions. However, unexpectedly, Zhou Liwen went straight to the point as soon as he opened his mouth, and also said his legal counsel's fees before. The accuracy of the numbers surprised him. This sentence made Pang Yishan feel alert. You should know that although Pang Yishan is not as good as before, the person who knows the specific number of consultant fees before is only a very small circle. If he comes out of this circle, let alone a mainlander like Zhou Liwen, it is unlikely that some new lawyers in the legal profession will be clear if there is no news channel.

"It's strange, how did he know? Could this Zhou Sheng be a big deal?"

Pang Yishan's hands holding his chest gradually lowered, and a hint of surprise flashed in his expression, while Zhou Liwen on the opposite side still looked calm, as if what he had just said was just a trivial matter.

Of course, Zhou Liwen knew that this was not how capable he was, but the information Lin Sen gave him was about Pang Yishan as a long-term legal consultant of a large company. When he saw Pang Yishan's face looked surprised, Zhou Liwen felt a little proud. He knew that the first sentence he said caused the other party's attention.

2805

89c6.

"Of course, the cost of 3 million was from many years ago. If Lawyer Pang had not left the legal industry in Xiangjiang, the current consultant fee would have increased to 3.5 million or even 4 million. Unfortunately, due to some special reasons, Lawyer Pang's current consultant fee may not reach this number. According to my calculations, 1.3 million to 150 should be a reasonable number every year."

Zhou Liwen's second sentence made Pang Yishan frown. He was a very smart person. If he was not smart, he would not have made such a reputation. Regarding some special reasons mentioned by Zhou Liwen, Pang Yishan immediately knew that his background should have been clearly understood by the other party. Pang Yishan immediately pursued these things without losing his face, because there was no need for smart people to talk to smart people. When he heard the price offered by Zhou Liwen, he thought about it and nodded slightly.

"Zhou Sheng is right. This price should be a reasonable number, but I think it won't take long to change this number."

Zhou Liwen smiled and nodded, "Lawyer Pang is very confident, this is very good, and this is another point I value you. That's right, with your qualifications and abilities, and your previous position in the legal field, the current situation is only short-lived. Maybe one year, maybe two years or three years, you will still become a famous lawyer in Xiangjiang. By that time, even if someone is willing to pay 3 million yuan for consulting fees, you may still have to consider whether you want to accept it."

Zhou Liwen said with a smile, and Pang Yishan immediately laughed after hearing this. They all knew the meaning of Zhou Liwen’s words, not how much money it is, but whether it is worthy of being legal counsel for the other party. Because when a large company chooses a famous lawyer as legal counsel, the other party will also choose whether it is willing to cooperate. This is the choice of both parties. Just like a couple in love, shaving a head is useless to have a head-on burden. Both parties must be satisfied with each other in order to hit it off.

"I have seen Zhou Sheng's sincerity. Although I don't know much about Zhou Sheng, I think Zhou Sheng and I can still become good friends in a short time of contact." Pang Yishan's mentality at this moment changed a little from the beginning, because what Zhou Liwen said made him feel that the other party was not simple. Zhou Liwen was right. Maybe Pang Yishan will stand up again in a few years and become a superior person again. But a few years are too far away for him. At present, Pang Yishan's most urgent task has raised funds to officially build his own law firm, rather than living in other people's law firms like now, like a lawyer who is doing odd jobs.

If this continues for a long time, even if Pang Yishan is capable, he will not be able to obtain the right business. Moreover, he is still facing suppression from his former opponents and clubs. This is also the main reason why Pang Yishan will accept Zhou Liwen's commission for a shortage of money. In a word, he is very short of money now, but he doesn't want to sell himself cheaply. He thought Zhou Liwen could not pay the fee before and refused, but now it seems that Zhou Liwen has the ability. Since this is the case, Pang Yishan will not refuse.

"So from Zhou Sheng's perspective, what do you think is the reasonable cost?"

Zhou Liwen was happy when she heard this. It seemed that Pang Yishan had changed his mind. As for the cost issue, he had already thought about it and immediately said: "1.5 million yuan a year, what do you think?"

"Very reasonable." Pang Yishan nodded and then said, "But I have two conditions. I wonder if Zhou Sheng can accept it?"

"Please say it!"

"First, this fee must be paid in advance."

"No problem!" Zhou Liwen agreed without thinking.

Pang Yishan showed joy and then said: "The 1.5 million fee is limited to one year's expenses, and according to the rules, the fees such as appearance in court will be settled separately if they need to appear in court. After the year expires, I still have the right to end the cooperation between the two parties."

Zhou Liwen had no objection to Pang Yishan's first half sentence, but he had his own ideas for the second half sentence. He considered it: "Lawyer Pang, for me, I hope everyone can become good friends and collaborators. Of course, I also know that you are afraid that my temple is small and cannot tolerate you, the big Buddha. But I would like to make one suggestion, that is, after the expiration of one year, we can sit down and discuss it carefully. If Lawyer Pang thinks that I have a future here and the two sides are happy to cooperate, then continue to cooperate. Of course, we can also discuss the issue of fees. After all, the current 1.5 million is only for the first year, and maybe it will increase to 3 million by the second year. What do you think?"

Pang Yishan thought about it and nodded with a smile: "Zhou Sheng is so eloquent. It seems that you should be a lawyer."

"Haha, actually, my professor also suggested this when he was in college. It's a pity that I'm more interested in doing business. As for these boring legal provisions, I think Lawyer Pang is more suitable than me. What do you think?"

Pang Yishan suddenly laughed and stood up again to extend his hand to Zhou Liwen: "Okay, let's have a happy cooperation!"
