This gold medal lawyer once fought a lawsuit for the TV station to which the program crew belonged. The final result was a great victory, but the retainer he demanded was as high as several million, making him one of the most expensive lawyers in the world.
The cameraman once saw the golden lawyer from afar at the TV station. At that time, he was surrounded by the leaders of the station. He walked very fast and his face was full of awe-inspiring majesty.
But now, when meeting with Zhuang Li, the other party's attitude was completely different.
"Mr. Zhuang, nice to finally meet you!" The top lawyer shook Zhuang Li's hand firmly, bowed slightly, and spoke in a respectful tone, "Rumor has it that a Southeast Asian country is preparing to amend its financial laws because of you. Their legal experts even called me to discuss this issue, hoping to fill the loophole you created. These past three days have been truly thrilling, and you've left many of my clients in a state of panic."
Zhuang Li shook his hand back and chuckled, "That's why I need your service. Please take a seat."
The two sat facing each other, the cameraman standing not far away filming, his heart and fingertips trembling slightly. From just these few brief words, he realized that Zhuang Li was not some poor, money-grubbing bastard at all; he might even be of a higher status than a top-tier second-generation rich kid like Chang Jinbo.
The lawyer pointed at the cameraman and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Oh, I was bored recently, so I participated in a blind date show." Zhuang Li explained simply.
The lawyer shook his head and laughed, "It's hard to imagine someone like you being single. I thought you could just wave and a bunch of men and women would gather around you."
"I don't need a whole bunch of men and women. I just need one person who suits my taste. I've been wronged before, so I'm going to be more cautious." Zhuang Li changed the subject: "Did you bring the information?"
"Of course, take a look. This is the team I've assembled for you. Given your profession, everyone on the team is skilled in economic litigation, has a thorough understanding of the laws of various countries, and holds international bar qualifications. They can provide you with top-quality service even in countries like Europe and the US."
The top lawyer handed a list to Manager Zhuang, and then took out the resumes of every lawyer in the team from his briefcase one by one and stacked them on the desk.
The cameraman adjusted the focus and filmed the list, then saw a long list of names of top lawyers and took a deep breath.
This is definitely the strongest legal team in China!
Zhuang Li quickly flipped through everyone's resumes and nodded in satisfaction. "Excellent! This is exactly the team I need. Name your price."
The lawyer smiled gently, "You should know our asking price. The minimum service fee is 20 million per year. If there is a lawsuit involving a certain amount of money, we will take a percentage of it."
Cameraman: “!!!”
Zhuang Li took out a check and quickly filled in a string of numbers.
After receiving the check, the lawyer's smile grew even gentler. "Mr. Zhuang, it's our honor to serve you. Since you're willing to work with us, our current clients and future potential clients will likely have even more confidence in our abilities."
Zhuang Li quipped, "Because I have enemies all over the world, I have to find the strongest team, right?"
The lawyer smiled and nodded, "It seems you have a very clear understanding of yourself."
Cameraman: "..." Fuck! Who said Zhuang Li was poor? If he's poor, then how can these people still live?
Just at this moment, the fax machine rang and a document slowly printed out. The cover was an extremely luxurious castle.
The cameraman looked more and more familiar, and couldn't help but zoom in the camera, then gasped in surprise.
Isn't this the Green Lake Castle that the director begged and pleaded to rent? The turquoise lake not far from the castle was named one of the most beautiful lakes in the world by the United Nations World Tourism Organization last year and has now become a popular tourist attraction.
Could it be that Zhuang Li also has business dealings with the owner of Green Lake Castle? His connections would be formidable!
Zhuang Li picked up the document and said calmly, "This is the castle I just bought. Please help me with the transfer procedures."
Cameraman: “!!!” At this moment, his hands holding the camera were shaking.
He almost believed that blog post! Is this what being poor looks like? Huh? If so, then he wants to be that poor guy too!
The cameraman immediately ruled out the possibility of Zhuang Li hiring someone to act in his drama. This high-ranking lawyer's consulting fees reached tens of thousands of yuan per hour, and time was money to him. And what would his reputation in the industry be if he were to act in such a scene alongside Zhuang Li? Was he really worth risking his career for such a low-level gig?
The lawyer stared at the cover of the purchase contract and raised an eyebrow. "I didn't expect you to be able to buy Green Lake Castle from Mr. Yao. It's his favorite residence."
"There is nothing in the world that I can't get. As long as I want it, I can have it." Zhuang Li waved his hand lazily.
The clients of the top lawyers were generally financial giants. No matter how gentle they appeared on the surface, they were inherently arrogant. And Mr. Zhuang, who had revolutionized the international financial market in just three days, was what he imagined he would look like now.
The lawyer's awe for his new employer deepened. He quickly glanced at the contract and nodded, saying, "It's not a big deal. I can help you with this matter this afternoon. I'll contact Mr. Yao's lawyer right away. He happens to be an old classmate of mine."
Zhuang Li raised his arm: "Wait, I have another thing for you to do."
The lawyer immediately bowed and said, "Please speak."
Zhuang Li said bluntly, "I want to acquire the MAXSPEED Club. Please help me negotiate."
The lawyer raised his lip in interest. "You should know that Mr. Chang is also looking to acquire MAX, right? His offer is 1 billion dollars. MAX owns the world's most expensive and fastest Formula One car, and also has a contract guaranteeing an undefeated victory over Xi Ming. The price can't be low."
Zhuang Li said calmly, "Tell the MAX boss that no matter what price Chang Fan offers, my price will always be five points higher. I am determined to acquire MAX."
The lawyer nodded happily. "Your offer is so generous, I don't think Mr. Chen from MAX will refuse." He frowned and reminded her, "Just think about your future profitability. After all, Xi Ming has announced his retirement, and his agency contract only lasts two years. Meanwhile, the other drivers at MAX have reached a plateau. Their performance may not meet your expectations."
"It's okay. I didn't acquire MAX for profit." Zhuang Li pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes gleaming brightly for the first time. "I'm a loyal fan of Xi Ming. I want to be closer to him."
So it's all about chasing stars! Rich people's happiness is so expensive. The lawyer nodded in understanding.
Cameraman: “!!!” Fuck fuck fuck fuck! Spending over a billion dollars chasing celebrities, Zhuang Li is indeed worthy of being called a super rich man!
Witnessing several dramatic scenes in one day, the cameraman's heart was almost overwhelmed! What's the matter with Zhuang Li's ex-boyfriend? Is there any basis for the negative information? Also, netizens say that the photos Zhuang Li posted are all stolen. How can that be possible?
MAX is the world's top Formula One racing club. With the legendary driver Xi Ming at its helm, it has consistently held the fastest records in recent years. Its market capitalization is worth billions of dollars.
Zhuang Li said he wanted to acquire MAX right away, and he even hired a team of lawyers. This was no joke!
Also, who was Chang Fan? Chang Fan was Chang Jinbo's father, a prominent figure ranked among the top five richest people in China. Zhuang Li addressed him by name in front of the lawyer, suggesting he was financially comparable to Chang Fan.
Besides playing with cars, competing with his father, and doing nothing, what else does Chang Jinbo do? Compared with Zhuang Li, his level is far behind.
The cameraman's mind grew increasingly alarmed, a layer of cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. He felt like a nobody like him wasn't worthy of being in Zhuang Li's office. If it weren't for the show, he might never have come into contact with someone of Zhuang Li's stature.
When the cameraman was so unsure of where to put his hands and feet, the lawyer pointed at the camera and said, "Shooting like this will risk leaking secrets. If Mr. Chang knew your desired price, he might maliciously raise the price. You should know his character."
Cameraman: “!!!” For a moment, his legs went weak. He really shouldn’t be here!
"I know Chang Fan is a pedantic person. If he can't get what he wants, he won't stand seeing others succeed." Zhuang Li said calmly, "Let him sign a confidentiality agreement. This segment can be filmed and broadcast, but only after the acquisition is completed. If anything goes wrong due to a leak, believe me, the consequences will be unbearable for your TV station."
The Golden Lawyer added: "This is an observational program. Before the program was recorded, the TV station should have signed an agreement with Mr. Zhuang. To protect Mr. Zhuang's privacy, the contract stipulated what could and could not be filmed."
"This is confidential, so it's off-limits. If Mr. Zhuang suffers financial losses due to your mistakes, we have the right to file a claim against your TV station. You will definitely lose this lawsuit, and the final compensation will be beyond the reach of your entire TV station."
The cameraman was so frightened by the two people's chatter that his heart ached. He quickly put down the camera and said in a panic: "Mr. Zhuang, I will give you everything I filmed today. I promise not to tell anyone." He took out the memory card of the camera and handed it respectfully to Mr. Zhuang.
Zhuang Li put the memory card in a small plastic bag and said gently, "I will return the card to you after the acquisition is successful."
"No rush, no rush, please feel free to do as you please." The cameraman wiped his sweat repeatedly with a stiff smile.
Only then did he realize how ignorant and fearless he had been when he had been so full of disdain for Zhuang Li. Fortunately, he hadn't said anything harsh, nor had he shown his indifference too obviously, so he probably hadn't offended anyone to death.
However, the guests who were still recording the show would be in trouble. If they showed disgust and contempt on the show, or said something rude, or even did something to exclude or hurt Zhuang Li...
The cameraman closed his eyes and began to observe a moment of silence for the guests.
Chang Jinbo also said that he wanted to help Zhuang Li’s ex-boyfriend get revenge, but in the end he would find that his revenge was a joke.
The cameraman lowered his head and held his forehead, unable to bear thinking about it any further. This show was going in such an embarrassing direction!
Zhuang Li quickly signed an employment agreement with the top lawyer, and when he pressed his fingerprints, his movements paused for a moment.
The lawyer thought there was something wrong with the contract and asked quickly, "Mr. Zhuang, is there anything you are not satisfied with?"
Zhuang Li smiled softly, his tone gentle: "No, I just suddenly remembered the little pet I left at home."
Meanwhile, after three days of sleepless mining, 7480 was curled up in a small dark room, sound asleep. His snores echoed intermittently in Zhuang Li's mind. The demands of earning money while connecting to the network of stock exchanges around the world were truly exhausting.
"Your pet must be very cute, right?" the gold medal lawyer praised.
"Yes, it's very cute. It's a little fat boy. It used to be very naughty, but now it's getting better and better." As he said this, Zhuang Li used his mental power to conjure up a soft little bed and a warm quilt, allowing 7480 to sleep more comfortably.
