Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 23: Time is Money

There are more and more South Asians coming to Hong Kong now. Curry Street is full of curry boys. Many of the dirty and messy jobs that Hong Kong locals are unwilling to do are done by these South Asian curry boys.

Hong Kong is now the most famous city in Asia, and its population will continue to grow.

The more people there are, the more domestic waste there is. If you register a waste disposal company and buy an uninhabited island to dispose of the waste, it can be a very profitable business.

Chi Mengli's Italian black glove colleagues relied on monopolizing the garbage disposal market in New York, directly registered high-tech garbage disposal companies, listed them on the Nasdaq, and transformed themselves into technology giants.

"Ding dong."

They arrived at the eighth floor and the elevator door opened. Chi Mengli came to his senses, shook his head, and walked out of the elevator. He was now a little greedy and wanted to get involved in every business.

The receptionist at Luo Wenjin Law Firm saw a client coming out of the elevator. Although he was dressed like a street thug, business does not depend on where the client comes from. This was what the big boss said during a meeting.

"Sir, do you have an appointment?"

"If you don't have an appointment, I can put you in touch with today's duty attorney."

Bo Xidong looked at the receptionist in a professional suit and swallowed his saliva. This girl was so beautiful with a curvy figure.

Chi Mengli didn't need to see it, just by listening to the sound of saliva, he knew that his trusted henchman had completely failed in facial expression management. He could only sigh in his heart, and then said with a smile on his face: "We want to hire a lawyer to handle the business application."

"I don't have any lawyers I know, sorry to bother you, miss."

"You're welcome, gentlemen. This way, please."

The receptionist paid no attention to Bo Xidong's lecherous look. She still maintained a decent smile, led the two to a small meeting room, and served them two cups of steaming coffee.

Chi Mengli looked at the furnishings of this small conference room, the leather sofas, and the solid wood furniture, and kept sighing in his heart that there were just too many wealthy people in Hong Kong.

In fact, these furniture alone don’t cost much. What is expensive is the land beneath your feet. This is Central, where every inch of land is valuable. One foot costs thousands of Hong Kong dollars.

If he guessed correctly, the Luo family should have bought the entire eighth floor.

Just as Chi Mengli was looking at the small conference room, the door opened and a middle-aged male lawyer wearing gold-rimmed glasses walked into the conference room accompanied by the receptionist.

"Sir, this is Attorney Zhang Jie Li. Without disturbing you, Attorney Zhang, what would you like to drink?"

"Thanks, Amy, one soda."

Zhang Jie Li sat down and asked the receptionist to give him a glass of soda water. Then he opened his notebook, glanced at his watch, and said, "Sir, what's your name?"

"Excuse me, I am Chi Mengli."

"Mr. Chi, we charge by the hour. One hour is three hundred yuan. If it's less than one hour, we will charge three hundred yuan."

"How can I help Mr. Chi?"

Zhang Jie Li finished explaining the charging standards with a smile, then looked at Chi Mengli.

Time is money!
Can't delay!

Chi Mengli sighed in his heart, then took the briefcase from Bocaidong, smiled and said, "I need to register two companies, one is a minibus company, and it would be best if it can run on multiple routes."

"The second company is an advertising company, which must have the business scope of advertising design and advertising production."

"We also need to help the minibus company apply for several operating routes." After stating the request, he took out two bundles of redwood fish from his briefcase and placed them on the table.

As soon as Zhang Jie Li saw the way the money was bundled, he knew that the two men opposite were members of a gang, namely the infamous Short Mule, but business has no attributes, and even prisoners have the right to dispose of their own property.

"Mr. Chi, our law firm's assistance with applications is the most expensive, but it is also the fastest. The current success rate is 100%. I believe this commission will be no exception."

"But you need to determine the office locations for both companies within 48 hours and send the lease contract to me. The contract cannot be less than six months."

"The registration fee for the minibus company and the route application fee totaled 15,300 yuan, and the registration fee and application fee for the advertising company totaled 13,300 yuan."

"I will help these two companies register company accounts and open tax accounts. The registered capital will be 10,000 yuan. After the registration is successful, the money can be withdrawn at any time."

"The law firm will charge a service fee of two thousand dollars."

Zhang Jie used the portable computer on the notepad to do some calculations, then wrote out a long list of numbers on a piece of paper and handed it to Chi Mengli.

Thirty-six hundred dollars!
It really is true that knowledge is power! Knowledge is money!

Chi Mengli took out two bundles of redwood fish (face value of one hundred yuan) from his briefcase, counted out thirty-one thousand yuan, and placed them in front of Zhang Jie Li.

After seeing the money, Zhang Jie Li did not take it immediately. Instead, he pressed the bell on the desk and told the receptionist to ask the trainee lawyer and the clerk to come over.

The trainee lawyer and the receptionist rushed to the meeting room, counted the banknotes, and issued receipts. The trainee lawyer also skillfully drafted the power of attorney contract on a typewriter.

In fact, there are many disadvantages for Chi Mengli to apply for a company with her own ID. The first is the difficulty of application. If the Chief Secretary knows that the applicant has social organization status, he will definitely reject the application.

The second difficulty is also caused by the letterhead. As long as the advertising company and the minibus start normal business, the letterhead will know about it. There will definitely be greedy people who will tear off their faces and say that their company is under the banner of the letterhead, and the letterhead should also have a share.

To be honest, if someone said that, he really couldn't bear it, but his mother was in the hospital, his father died early, and he didn't even have a relative to entrust his assets to.

If you really want to have a piece of the pie, then just stretch out your hand and chop off your hand, stretch out your foot and chop off your foot.

The agency contract was quickly drafted in both Chinese and English. Chi Mengli read the Chinese contract carefully and found no problems, but he still asked Zhang Jieli's trainee lawyer to add a sentence that when there is a discrepancy between the English terms and the Chinese terms, the Chinese terms shall prevail.

After hearing Chi Mengli's request, Zhang Jie Li nodded in his heart. He liked cautious people, and his perception of the dwarf mule in front of him improved a lot.

Both parties had no objection to the contract, and Chi Mengli and Zhang Jieli signed their names as principal and agent respectively.

"Mr. Chi, it's a pleasure to work with you, but I don't know if I should say something or not."

Chi Mengli put the copy of the contract into his briefcase. Hearing Zhang Jieli's words, he was stunned for a moment, but replied with a smile: "Of course, Lawyer Zhang, please go ahead."

"My father likes to watch Yuan opera. His favorite saying to me is, respect the clothes first and then the person, respect the body first and then the soul."

"When we meet someone, the first thing that comes to our mind is what they are wearing."

"It's OK to wear jeans, but it's a little frivolous."

A young man who can carry 40,000 yuan in cash with him is a successful person even if he makes money through illegal means.

Zhang Jie Li had a good impression of this young customer and gave him a suggestion.
