Lawyer

Chapter 491 Depressed Zhang Fengcai
"Hello, is this Lawyer Fang? I'm the eldest brother of Zhang Fengqin (Li Shuming's daughter-in-law), and my name is Zhang Fengcai." A man's voice came from the phone's microphone.

"Hello, I'm Fang Yi. Li Shuming told me about your family yesterday. Are you coming today?" Fang Yi asked.

"Is it convenient for you? If it is convenient, I will find you at the law firm later." Zhang Fengcai said.

"Come on." After Fang Yi told the other party the location of the law firm, he hung up the phone.

Zhang Fengcai is a tall, bald man in his fifties, with a hint of cunning and stubbornness in his eyes.It is said that he is the vice president of a local university, and he will retire after three years.

His university has a law school, and there are quite a few professors and associate professors who work part-time in law firms outside. He still knows a little about the teachers in his school, and he is surrounded by nameless, sycophants, professional ability Unreliable.

The teacher who is really capable is relatively lonely, and he seems to be at odds with him.After all, his own affairs are not a good thing, and he is a person who wants face, so he did not ask the teacher of this school to represent his son's case.

When his mother heard that her grandson had been arrested, she became furious and asked him to contact his sister Zhang Fengqin who was far away from abroad.

Earlier, after receiving a call from Li Shuming, he deliberately logged on to the website of Wanhua United Law Firm and checked Xia Yi's introduction.From the perspective of a leader, he is still very satisfied with Fang Yi's professional ability.

Four or ten minutes later, in the conference room of the law firm, Fang Yi listened carefully to Zhang Fengcai's narration.

"After graduating from university, my son Zhang Wen first worked in a foreign-funded enterprise, and later applied to work in the current Sino-foreign joint venture company as the general manager of the sales department." Zhang Fengcai's eyes shone with pride when he mentioned the past.

"Mr. Zhang, do you know what your son's charges are?" Fang Yi asked.

When the matter of his son's arrest was mentioned, Zhang Fengcai's eyes darkened a lot: "A few days ago, the public security organ called me, saying that he was suspected of illegally operating a similar business crime. I don't know much about the specific situation, so I can't tell you the details. .I speculate that it may have something to do with the company he opened."

"He has his own company?" Fang Yi asked.

"Well, it's not his name. He registered the company under the name of my wife and his mother-in-law. At first he wanted to use my name, but I was the vice president of the university and couldn't register, so he used his mother's name instead. I only know this." Zhang Fengcai said.

"Well, where is his lover? Do you understand the situation?" Fang Yi asked.

"Hey, don't mention it, his wife is an executive of a foreign company, and she is busier than him. One month before my son was arrested, she was sent to study abroad by the company, and it will take half a year to come back. The couple yelled all day long. Career, I don’t want children now, this time it’s good, one was dispatched abroad, the other was arrested..." When this matter was mentioned, Zhang Fengcai felt extremely depressed.

"Well, if you trust me, I'll meet with you at the detention center first, ask about the specific situation, and then we'll talk about the rest. What do you think?" Fang Yi said.

"How can I pay you this fee? How much does it cost?" Zhang Fengcai asked.

No matter who he asks to defend his son, the money will not be saved, and he understands that.It is impossible for the middle-aged lawyer in front of him to be exempted from legal fees just because he is Li Shuming's eldest brother-in-law. What's more, the relationship between him and Li Shuming has not been very good. Zhang Fengcai still has this self-knowledge.

"There are two methods of charging, one is that you entrust me with your son's case from the moment he was arrested by the public security organ to the first-instance verdict, and you pay all the lawyer's fees in one lump sum.

The other is to charge by stage. For example, your son’s case is currently in the investigation stage. I will go to the detention center to meet and understand the case, answer legal questions for your son, and apply for release on bail. The fee for one meeting is 5000 yuan. 3000 yuan.When it comes to the procuratorate's review and prosecution stage and the court trial stage, you will pay the lawyer's fees separately. "Fang Yi explained.

"How about you go to the detention center for an interview first, and I will pay you the lawyer's fees in stages." Zhang Fengcai thought about it.

He thought about paying all the lawyer's fees at one time. In case he was not satisfied and wanted to change lawyers later, it would be difficult to get the money back.

"No problem, just wait a moment, I will ask the assistant to prepare for the entrustment procedures." Fang Yi said.Then he called Zhou Ying to prepare for the entrustment procedures.

When Fang Yi went upstairs just now, Zhou Ying was helping Huang Yuanchao copy materials, so Fang Yi didn't ask her to come up to discuss the case.Ten minutes later, Zhou Ying went upstairs to assist Zhang Fengcai to sign the entrustment procedures and paid 10 yuan in legal fees.

Early the next morning, Zhou Ying followed Fang Yi to the detention center to meet Zhang Wen.

Zhang Wen is 31 years old, wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and has a thin body, but has a beer belly that does not match his body shape. He looks like a pregnant woman who is five or six months pregnant.It is estimated that it is difficult for him to bend his waist to tie his shoelaces.His face looks a lot like Zhang Fengcai, only a little more slippery and sophisticated.

Maybe he has been in the society for a long time and has seen a lot of people. His condition is not bad, his mentality has not collapsed, but he seems a little anxious.

"Zhang Wen, do you know the charges against you by the public security organ?" Fang Yi asked.

"I know, they told me that it is a crime of illegally operating a similar business." Zhang Wen nodded.

"Please tell us what you told the public security organ. We need to know what happened. The more detailed the better." Fang Yi said.

"Well, I have been working in this joint venture company for more than six years, from a salesman to a manager of the sales department..." Zhang Wen recounted the incident.

Zhang Wen's company is a Sino-foreign joint venture company, the Chinese and foreign parties each contribute 50.00%, engaged in the production and sales of automobiles and their parts.

Three years ago, Zhang Wen was promoted to the deputy manager of the department because of his outstanding performance. Since then, he has overfulfilled the sales task every year. After the sales manager retired early last year, he was hired by the company as the sales manager, in charge of the company's sales and after-sales service.

He has worked in sales for the company for many years and knows the company's downstream customers very well.After he came to power, he thought about relying on sales to rely on sales.

After becoming the manager of the sales department, Zhang Wen registered Wanjia Sales Company in the name of his mother and mother-in-law.Later, under his instruction, Wanjia Sales Company became an authorized dealer of the joint venture company, specializing in the sale of auto parts of the joint venture company.

In order to increase the income of Wanjia Sales Company, Zhang Wen privately contacted many customers of the joint venture company, asking them to order auto parts of the joint venture company through Wanjia Sales Company and give them a certain rebate.Driven by interests, the client reached an agreement with Zhang Wen.
