Any professional elite actually has a natural barrier, which is regionality.
Japanese elites may not necessarily be successful in China, and American geniuses may not be able to revive bankrupt companies in Europe. This is all due to regional differences, which lead to differences in culture and ideas.
But it is undeniable that many people have succeeded.
The success of those multinational companies relies on elites who can be used wherever they are recruited.
Once a person can break through the limitations of region and culture, then he is not just a talent in one city or one place, he is definitely a talent who can open up new territories.
Tang Chaoshan always felt that he was the kind of talent who could open up new territories.
Although Hong Kong is prosperous and has a huge population base of 7 million people, it is too small and the stage is too narrow. Every day's things are just the same thing over and over again.
For a senior barrister like him, he has reached the pinnacle of his career in Hong Kong and there is no possibility of any further breakthrough.
Even though he has a great fortune, a high social status, and a very respectable career, Tang Chaoshan is not satisfied at all, because he is only 42 years old this year, not 62 years old, which is the time when he can work hard
.
But here comes the problem. Because of the one country, two systems, Hong Kong's legal system is different from that of the mainland. Even if the language and living habits are similar to those in eastern Guangdong, it will be difficult for him to reach out, let alone enter the vast market of the mainland.
Therefore, Tang Chaoshan has been looking for opportunities and noble people who can support him.
Therefore, after receiving news from friends working in the United States, Tang Chaoshan readily agreed to their invitation and handled what seemed like a small thing for Xiao Qi.
In the next few days, Xiao Qi never contacted him. After paying the money, it was just like normal business dealings.
Just when Tang Chaoshan was worrying about gains and losses, he suddenly received a call from Xiao Qi, but he was still worried about gains and losses.
The place where Xiao Qi asked him to have afternoon tea was in a high-end tea restaurant in Central. Although the food was authentic Chaoshan cuisine, the price was also very expensive because the chef was a very famous person. Only people with golden collars could come here to have tea.
Tea.
People in eastern Guangdong drink tea differently from people in Sichuan.
The way people in Sichuan drink tea is to sit on the bamboo and rattan chairs in the park tea house, drink tea from a bowl, and chat.
Tea drinking among people in eastern Guangdong includes eating and drinking. It can basically be understood as adding tea with breakfast and tea with a meal in the afternoon.
However, when it comes to food and drink, people from Guangdong and Sichuan are similar. They both have a wide variety of styles and are particular about food and drink.
The people of Sichuan are all kinds of weird when it comes to condiments. The people of Guangdong are far ahead in the country in the variety of food they eat.
Of course, many snacks in Guangdong are a bit creepy to outsiders, so naturally they will not be on the table of this high-end tea restaurant.
Tang Chaoshan didn't care much about food. At his status, he had already tasted all kinds of food.
What he cares about is Xiao Qi's attitude towards him and whether there is any possibility of cooperation in the future.
What his friend said a few days ago has always made him feel hungry.
That's what a friend said. Mario Law Firm, the most popular law firm in the United States, is planning to open a branch in Hong Kong. It is now looking for a suitable partner.
As a lawyer, Tang Chaoshan knew the Mario Law Firm very well.
Mario Law Firm is a law firm in New York. It started its development by serving as the legal counsel for Fairy Company. All the legal business of Fairy Company outside the scope of mainland China is taken care of by them.
But it makes so many people so greedy that they want to rob!
Later everyone found out that the largest shareholder of Mario Law Firm is Xiao Qi!
Then everyone suddenly realized that it was no wonder that they had a monopoly on Fairy Company's legal affairs.
Then, the development of Mario Law Firm became even more astonishing. Under the leadership of CEO Anthony, under the banner of Xiao Qi, Samsung, Apple, Oracle, Amazon...etc.
A large number of super large companies related to Xiao Qi have more or less given some business to Mario Law Firm, which suddenly made Mario Law Firm even more popular.
Nowadays, Mario Law Firm has grown to the size of New York City, with more than 40 barristers, more than 120 general lawyers, and more than 800 various corporate assistants and other service staff, making it a giant.
However, because they are Caucasian, most of their business is in Europe and the United States, and they are somewhat beyond their reach in Asia.
Well now, Mario Law Firm is finally going to enter Asia. You don’t have to think about it, you must accept handling the Asian legal affairs of Fairy Company!
If he could get a share of the pie, it would be the best thing for Tang Chaoshan.
Tang Chaoshan now has his own small law firm, which is the same size as the five barristers he brought to Tupu Company, 13 practicing lawyers, and more than 20 staff members.
But this company is not all his own. Although Tang Chaoshan is a senior barrister, the five barristers under him still adopt a cooperative approach, not a subordinate relationship. The thirteen practicing lawyers also belong to different barristers.
, his real strength is only himself.
Tang Chaoshan wants to join the Asian branch of Mario Law Firm, which is under preparation. On the one hand, it is for the sake of his own future, because with various businesses provided by Fairy Company, as well as friendly gifts from giants such as Samsung, Mario Law Firm
The Asian branch will definitely quickly become a dominant player in the Asian industry, with unparalleled momentum, which will be of great benefit to its own status.
On the other hand, there are actual benefits. His own small Hong Kong law firm does not make much money, and it is basically a loose alliance. Where can there be such a strict organization and such richness as the Asian branch of Mario Law Firm?
profit return?
And everyone knows that it is easiest to get the most benefits from Long Zhichen. It is definitely better for him to join from the beginning than to join later.
Therefore, when Xiao Qi invited him for afternoon tea, Tang Chaoshan prepared a lot of information and countermeasures in advance, preparing to win the praise of the big boss in one fell swoop and become a powerful figure in the Asian branch of Mario Law Firm!
He didn't dare think about becoming a general manager. He would definitely have to send someone from the United States, but the top three powerful people still had a chance to fight for it by virtue of his ability as one of the top five in Hong Kong.
Looking at Tang Chaoshan sitting opposite, drinking black tea, Xiao Qi nodded slightly.
Tang Chaoshan is well-known in Hong Kong, and he is particularly good at commercial disputes among the imperial court officials. In recent years, he has never failed, and his achievements are very dazzling.
Now I can see that his dress and behavior are all very meticulous. Even when he meets himself, he tries his best to remain neither humble nor overbearing, which is very rare for ordinary people.
The most important thing for Xiao Qi to hire is character. Take Mario Law Firm as an example. No matter how capable CEO Anthony is, he cannot replace Mario as chairman.
The same is true now in Hong Kong. Xiao Qi not only inquired about Tang Chaoshan's professional abilities, but also found out that he was a more conscientious person among a group of senior lawyers. He would do some public welfare lawyer activities from time to time on weekdays.
Donating to charity funds and treating the elderly at home with filial piety. These reputations accumulated over decades mean that Tang Chaoshan has entered Xiao Qi's eyes.
As Fairy Company's business continues to expand in Asia, relying solely on European and American lawyers can no longer meet the needs. Moreover, differences in language and culture will also become an obstacle.
Therefore, establishing an Asia-specific law firm became a top priority.
Hong Kong is undoubtedly the best choice, because there are no obvious traces of the mainland on it, and its culture is connected to all directions, and it is relatively proficient in both China and the West. It can not only conquer Japan and South Korea, but also conquer Southeast Asia. The key is
It doesn't get much better than here.
The president of the Asia firm will be the fourth person in the headquarters - lawyer Luca. Luca, 45 years old, was born in Malaysia. He only returned to China with his parents when he was 18 years old. He has worked hard in New York for many years, but he has a comparative understanding of the Asia-Pacific.
I am familiar with him, and he is most suitable to serve as the chairman of the Asia office.
However, Luca will not bring too many people from the United States. He will only bring two or three confidants. More talents must be recruited locally in Asia.
The first vice chairman and partner, Xiao Qi, chose Tang Chaoshan and invited him out today just to have a chat and see what his character is like.
It is said that many lawyers have no concept of black and white justice. They only care about whether they can win the case they receive. As for whether the client has committed a crime, it is not important to them.
Although Tang Chaoshan did not express this idea on weekdays, Xiao Qi was not reassured. A vice chairman with good character must meet Xiao Qi's assessment standards in all aspects.
"My grandfather came to Hong Kong from Jiangsu and Zhejiang during the war. After decades of development, he has achieved today's achievements." Tang Chaoshan said with a smile: "Some mainlanders, after coming to Hong Kong, they use the mainland to
They are regarded as enemies and are even further away from the mainland than Hong Kong people. However, this is also the reason why they are so poor and afraid of suffering before! And their various biased activities also make Hong Kong people worry that they will end up like them before. Hong Kong has been unable to
When you integrate into the mainland environment, it’s this kind of mentality that’s causing trouble!”
"It's common sense to look down on people who are poor and dislike people who are rich. However, after so many years of Hong Kong's return to the motherland, it's still the same horse racing and dancing?" Xiao Qi said with a smile, "Don't you think you are happy even if you live a good life?
What’s better than thinking about things that don’t exist? The word “unfounded worry” is tailor-made for this group of people.”
Tang Chaoshan smiled when he heard the words, but didn't say much more.
He just expressed an attitude to Xiao Qi, and it is not suitable to talk about other things now. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
