There is only the zeroth time in a lawsuit, and the countless times...

Such a statement is of course extreme, but it more or less reflects a little truth.

When starting a company, when I received a court summons for the first time, I was always in a cold sweat, and after that, I got used to it.

People who have never been in a lawsuit think that going to court is a big deal.

The older generation may still be proud of having been in business for a lifetime without getting involved in a lawsuit.

People have many misunderstandings about the profession of lawyers.

Especially when I watch too many TV dramas like legal affairs, I think that lawyers are responsible for major cases every day, whether they are hundreds of millions or killing people.

In fact, the vast majority of lawyers do very basic and routine work.

As for income, most of them are ordinary white-collar workers, and even slightly worse.

The only advantage of being a lawyer is that this profession does not eat young people, and often gets more and more popular with age.

Some people may also feel that litigation is far away from ordinary people.

When something really happens, it will be like "refraining from disease and avoiding medicine".

In fact, the law is the best weapon to protect everyone, and it is closely related to everyone.

Those who were not compensated by the company for no reason, and even fired during pregnancy...

Otherwise, they were scammed by training institutions...

Very routine and small matters also belong to the scope of services of lawyers. The combination of these trivial matters is actually the big deal.

Nie Datou not only has a small head, but also like the older generation, he has a big head when he hears about the lawsuit.

Most of the assistants he recruited had legal backgrounds, but they had never litigated anyone.

On this point, there is a big gap between Nie Guangyi and Xuan Shi.

After all, Xiao Shizi encountered a huge family change in her childhood.

Although most of Cheng Nuo's parents were helping to take the lead, he also dealt with lawyers himself.

They are all directors of relatively large law firms, and many of them are responsible for international business.

Speaking of which, Nie Guangyi has been insulated from lawsuits for so many years, to a large extent, because his designs have always been unconventional, and he is a landmark when he makes a move.

Being able to invite Nie Guangyi to do the design is definitely a facade project, and whoever invites him will be happy.

It's too late to hold it, whoever is full is fine to file a lawsuit with the facade project.

When an architect reaches a certain level, it is the same as the little stamp when a lawyer reaches the top of the pyramid.

Not only is there a lot of money, but you can also selectively pick up projects.

Those who came to Nie Guangyi basically had a two-way choice.

The entrusting party can accept the offer from Nie Guangyi & Associates.

Nie Guangyi can design works that exceed expectations for the client.

A more typical representative in this regard is Zaha Hadid.

As early as 2004, the Iraqi-born architect won the Pritzker Architecture Prize, which Nie Guangyi coveted, and was the first woman to win the award.

Zaha Hadid is a legendary architect. She was born in Baghdad in 1950. At that time, Iraq was still a very beautiful place.

Zaha Hadid grew up in an enlightened environment and a wealthy family.

Her works have a very personal style, and they are landmarks as soon as they are shot. In mainland China alone, there are Guangzhou Opera House, Nanjing Youth Olympic Center, and Daxing International Airport in the capital, which is regarded as her legacy.

These landmarks are very beautiful, and they will be very fashionable in another 20 years.

This also made Zaha Hadid's design fee and the cost of realizing his design all the "top class" treatment at that time.

Zaha Hadid's design is unique. She rarely uses straight lines in her design works, so she won the title of "Queen of Curves".

Her designs often have a surreal visual impact.

In addition to Daxing International Airport, Zaha Hadid also has a hotel legacy that can more perfectly interpret Zaha's concept of curves.

The Morpheus Hotel in Macau, China.

The steel used to build the Morpheus Hotel and the four Eiffel Towers still have to be found.

Walking into the lobby of that hotel, you can feel what is futuristic and no matter the cost.

The appearance looks like a space station. Starting from the elevator, it has a sense of sight of entering a science fiction film.

A hotel designed by Zaha must not be short of money.

There is one detail that suffices to illustrate this point.

In 2018, when Dyson hair dryers just became popular, Morpheus was already the first hotel in China to use Dyson hair dryers in all guest rooms when many people may not have heard of them.

Not to mention, all the toiletries are Hermès.

The combination of Dyson hair dryer and Hermès toiletries has also become the "standard equipment" for many hotels that hope to be recognized as top-level hotels for many years.

Even if the Hermès bathroom product was discontinued after four years, those latecomers are still promoting it...

I don't know if I have to continue to use it after the expiration date, or if I didn't use it at the beginning...

All in all, all in all.

To this day, whether a hotel room provides a Dyson hair dryer is still one of the main criteria for evaluating whether a hotel is willing to spend money on soft furnishings.

The design of Zaha Hadid and the positioning of Morpheus Hotel are absolute.

In terms of comfort, Morpheus is not the top.

Whether it is inside or outside, there are endless and cold metal curves,

There are so many lines that it will discourage trypophobia.

But none of these will affect Morpheus Hotel becoming a new landmark in Macau.

This is the result that I had thought of and what I should have expected before I asked Zaha to do the design.

No one will return the order because of these unique designs, and no one will put practicality in the first place.

Since his debut, Nie Guangyi has often been said to have the style of Zaha.

Zaha is indeed Nie Guangyi's professional idol and guide.

Nie Guangyi has attended several Zaha Hadid's lectures, and he and Keith met at Zaha Hadid's lectures.

Not long after Nie Guangyi's official debut, Zaha Hadid died of a heart attack.

This has also become one of the reasons why Nie Guangyi has endless projects.

But he is still a young architect after all, unlike Zaha, who is already a world-renowned designer.

Nie Guangyi only does architectural design, while Zaha Hadid's works cover almost all design categories.

Even the paintings are in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Even cross-border fashion, and the legend of Chanel, Lafayette, jointly created the Chanel Mobile Art Exhibition Hall.

This exhibition hall is also a landmark everywhere.

Hong Kong, Tokyo, New York, London, Moscow and Paris.

If you've been to Hong Kong, Tokyo, and New York but haven't seen the Chanel Mobile Art Gallery, the time is wrong.

Zaha Hadid's Chanel Mobile Art Exhibition is really a whole exhibition hall traveling around the world.

This cost is not too different from building one in each city.

Only the combination of Zaha and Lafayette's twin swords can have such a cheap idea and put it into practice.

The Chanel Mobile Art Exhibition Hall is a spiral-shaped white shell-shaped building.

It's really, really beautiful, but it's also really, really expensive.

As a result, the rich and powerful Chanel had to cancel the two stops of the exhibition hall in London and Moscow after arriving in New York, and directly and permanently stationed in Paris, the key station.

Of course, this is also related to the global economic crisis after the start of the global tour, but it can also reflect from the side how much financial support is needed to perfectly implement Zaha's ideas.

Nie Guangyi's design more or less has such a tendency.

He started with conceptual design, and both design and thinking are ahead of the current aesthetics.

These are advantages when he is sought after.

But when there is a group of chargebacks, the advantage will become evidence of being slandered.

Between avant-garde and flashy, there is often no particularly large gap.

Whether this crisis can pass is a hurdle in Nie Guangyi's career.

He knew that there would be a hurdle sooner or later, but he never thought that it would come so soon.

And it is at this point in time when Wan'an Bridge is about to start rebuilding.

……

"Guangyi, do you have a general direction?"

Xuan Shi helped Nie Guangyi find two law firms, one local and one international.

Responding to the lawsuit is one aspect. Finding out who is behind the incident is the most important thing.

"I can roughly confirm now that this time has nothing to do with the Rome office."

"What's your basis for judging? After we came, didn't the Roman office pick up all the orders that we wanted to refund?"

"The projects to be refunded here are relatively small. When entrusting us, the budget was relatively limited. When we saw other large projects questioning us, someone from the client of a small project asked Following the trend is a relatively normal phenomenon.”

"You think the two projects you found today were influenced by public opinion."

"Obviously." Nie Guangyi asked Xuan Shi: "Don't you think so?"

"I agree with your opinion. But I don't want your judgment to be affected by nostalgia?"

"I am nostalgic? I am a person who can ignore my father for ten years. What is there to be nostalgic for?" Nie Guangyi never thinks that he is a good person, which is why, he always feels that loneliness is his destination.

"You say it doesn't make sense, but you still think about it all the time."

"Xiao Shizi, this is your fault."

"Huh? Why?"

"If you had followed me early, I would have you, why would I still miss my father?" Nie Guangyi and Xuan Shi couldn't say a few words, and then began to tease.

"It's good that you can talk and laugh like that." Xuan Shi patted Nie Guangyi on the shoulder.

"What else? Are you still crying?" Nie Guangyi twitched the corners of his mouth, wanting to laugh but couldn't really smile, "Xiao Shizi, when you mention nostalgia, do you mean that there is something wrong with Lu Xianna?"

"That's right, when she came up, she put aside the relationship with the Rome office, and she felt like she was trying to cover up."

"Although Lu Xianna is currently only an assistant, she also has a double degree in law and architecture from a prestigious school. Her IQ and ability are no problem. If she really does something, she will probably keep her face. I am also observing today. She If I pretend to be nonchalant, I might still be skeptical."

"The employees in the Rome office must be better known to you. In Padua, they are all old employees who have fought side by side with you. Except for the classmates you made friends with when you were in school, they are students of Professor Nie. No matter where they are If there is a problem with one, you will probably peel it off."

"Then you underestimate me too much, except you, no one can peel off my skin, my clothes, my heart..."

"I'm sorry, Young Master. I only have friendship that belongs to you. My body and my heart belong to Arnold." Xuan Shi didn't go too far, and asked Nie Guangyi directly: "Should we go to Padua now? If you want to go, give me the key and I will drive."

"What kind of car did you drive when you got off the plane? Do you really think you are made of iron?"

"I rested quite well on the plane. You grabbed me a few times, and it didn't affect me at all. I went to Padua in one breath, absolutely no problem."

【Gently】Nie Guangyi gritted his teeth upon hearing these two words.

He didn't want to recall the scene where another person was caught by him with a big red and purple handprint.

Nie Guangyi tried his best to adjust his emotions. This kind of embarrassing thing is the last thing to say in front of his brothers.

"Not going to Padua for the time being." Nie Guangyi said to Xuan Shi, "Wait for me to audit first."

"Audit what?"

"Audit, if all the items that are to be refunded now are agreed, will I go bankrupt directly."

"What do you mean, Guangyi? If you don't go bankrupt, you plan to let them all retire?"

"Yeah, the commissioner who won't appreciate my work, why should I keep it? I don't know who has the greater loss."

"Young master, let's not push ourselves into such a passive position just because of a moment of impatience."

"No, architectural design is different from other projects. Those who have already started, if they cancel the commission relationship with me, the loss will not only be the design fee. My design has a threshold of entry, not everyone Can take over halfway. The person who made this whole thing must feel that he has the ability to take over."

"In that case, wouldn't Keith be the most suspect?"

"I believe he won't. His goal is to defeat me, not to take over the half-finished case from me and force himself to act according to my ideas. This probably makes him more uncomfortable than killing him."

"If this is the case, it must be someone who is very familiar with your design and can take over directly. There should not be many such people."

"Yes, there is and only one."

"He should have decided that a chargeback of this scale can directly drive you to a desperate situation. Let you make a choice between losing the project or losing the firm."

"As expected of a good brother who makes me think day to night also, I just mentioned an audit, and I thought of everything."

"Then what are you going to do now?"

"Cold mix."

"Just in Rome and doing nothing?"

"That's right. The source of everything, isn't it because I'm exhausted? I'm such a big genius, I haven't exhausted my energy yet, so how can I exhaust it?"

"That's fine, you concentrate on creating, and leave the litigation to me. I will make the process very long, long enough to complete a whole dozen designs."

Talent is not Nie Guangyi's confidence, his brothers are.
