Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

"It's so serious!" Upon hearing this, Ye Jinyan looked at the information handed over by Han Tao seriously.

Until he finished reading the last page, Han Tao spoke again: "

If you don't make a decision when you should, you will suffer the consequences. Mr. Ye, the head office can't take the blame at this time. It's time to be decisive!"

"Some things just can't be touched, these black sheep!"

Ye Jinyan was so shocked by the information in his hand that he broke out in a cold sweat. He finally understood what Han Tao meant.

Sighing and putting down the documents, he looked up at Han Tao's cold eyes and nodded.

"Han Lu, this is a great job. I, Ye Jinyan Jingyan, thank you on behalf of Jingyan Group, all the members of the board of directors and shareholders, and also on my own behalf!"

"Boss Ye, you're too kind. Now that I've reached this position, I must be responsible for this duty.

As long as I am the Chief Legal Counsel of Jingyan Group, as long as I stay in this position of CLO, I will never allow the company to have any problems under my leadership! "

Upon hearing this, Ye Jinyan said solemnly, "Han Lu, no matter what, I, Ye Jinyan, thank you. This time, you not only saved the Beijing branch, but also prevented the entire Jingyan Group from being affected!"

Han Tao waved his hand and continued, "The biggest responsibility of legal advisors and the company's legal department is to protect the company.

I will lead my team and the company's legal staff to become the railings on both sides of the company's bridge to wealth, creating a safe environment for employees and investors."

"Han Lu, I fully support your work, including all your opinions on the construction and reform of the company's legal department!

In a few days, I will ask the public relations department to organize a press conference and signing ceremony to officially announce that you will serve as the company's CLO as the chief legal counsel.

We have announced that Mingtang Law Firm will become our partner law firm! We are hiring your team and joining the group."

At this moment, Ye Jinyan recognized Han Tao from the bottom of his heart, recognized him as a person, recognized his work attitude and keen strategic vision, and even more recognized his potential energy and connections.

Han Tao feigned surprise and asked, "Are the conditions so generous? Doesn't this cooperation and appointment require a vote by the company's board of directors?"

"Of course! But this is not a problem. As long as I want it, the board of directors will definitely agree!"

Ye Jinyan smiled at Han Tao and said solemnly, "You know the responsibilities of the Chief Legal Counsel and CLO better than I do. From now on, Han Lu will be responsible for the company's strategic management functions. I only have two requests:

First, you must oversee and safeguard the company's overall strategic decisions to the best of your ability. Don't be afraid of offending others! Just go for it, and offer valuable feedback.

Second, we need to intensify reform efforts so that the Ministry of Law can shoulder the responsibility and do a good job in preventive legal work and related compliance matters.

I will leave the company's future governance, regulatory compliance, and corporate code of conduct to you and your team."

Looking at Ye Jinyan, who was inadvertently showing off his domineering aura, Han Tao smiled slightly and nodded heavily.

"It's a pleasure working with you, Mr. Ye! Please rest assured that the future advisory group and legal department will not only be the group's last resort, but will also be the first line of defense and offensive position!"

Han Tao's proud and confident look made Ye Jinyan seem to see himself back then. He unconsciously raised a smile and said:

"Alright! Han Lu, I look forward to you bringing new atmosphere and development to the group, and I also look forward to the legal department inspiring new vitality!"

As they spoke, two powerful hands clasped together tightly, representing the arrival of a new era for Jingyan Group!

Chapter 55 Master Ma is online

Han Tao and Ye Jinyan chatted for a whole afternoon. They not only had an in-depth discussion on the reform and construction of the company's legal department, but also exchanged views on the company's future development.

Ye Jinyan attaches great importance to Han Tao's work. After all, the responsibility of the legal advisor and the legal team is to provide legal support for the company's operations and decision-making.

It includes reviewing the company's internal and external contracts and agreements, drafting and revising relevant company legal documents, handling litigation and arbitration involving the company, and coordinating and handling legal disputes within the company.

The rapid development in recent years has led major companies to pay more and more attention to the opinions of lawyers in their business decisions.

In fact, this is also forced by the situation. The current competitive situation is severe, and everyone has begun to reform their legal departments and hire professional consulting teams.

In particular, the head of legal affairs, that is, the chief legal officer (CLO), must be able to assume the function of corporate strategic management.

First, they participate in the overall strategic decision-making of the company as a member of the senior management team; second, they manage preventive legal work and related compliance matters, such as corporate governance, regulatory compliance, and corporate codes of conduct, etc.

In addition to providing high-quality legal services to companies, chief legal officers must be proficient in foreign languages ​​and have a good understanding of management. They must also assist senior management in managing company affairs and participate in corporate strategic management and planning.

"Mr. Ye, the restaurant is booked. Yiyuan has received a batch of particularly delicious golden crabs today. You and Han Lu should go over and try them!"

At dusk, Fan Jingang knocked on the office door, then walked in and reminded Ye Jinyan that it was time to set off!

Hearing this, Ye Jinyan, who was still eager to chat, stood up and invited Han Tao:

"Come on, Han Lu, let's go have dinner together! I still have a lot of questions I want to discuss with you, let's talk about it!"

"Okay, I'd rather obey than be disrespectful. Then let Mr. Ye spend the money!"

Han Tao stood up and agreed, then he and Fan Jingang followed Ye Jinyan one punch away on the left and right, and the three of them walked out of the company.

As they walked, Ye Jinyan continued to ask Han Tao with great interest:

"Han Lu, tell me what you think. What problems are the group's legal department facing right now? Why are the legal personnel you've spent so much effort and money training so different from your external legal advisors in handling issues?"

Han Tao knew that Ye Jinyan was testing him, and at the same time, he was trying to get a feel for what he was going to do next so that he would have a clear idea of ​​what he was going to do.

“The biggest problem is that corporate legal affairs officers simply don’t understand how to put themselves in other people’s shoes. So I think legal affairs officers can’t just stay in the ‘ivory tower’, they have to get involved in the front lines!

In fact, most companies’ legal departments have some common problems, which is that they can only see the defects in the contract but cannot see the negotiation background.

Who can guarantee that this order isn't the beginning of a series of important collaborations? If one simply recites from the script, cites legal provisions, and rashly raises objections, not only will one fail to demonstrate professionalism, but will actually cause significant losses to the company."

"That hit the nail on the head! If the sales department heard what you said, they would be so upset they wouldn't be able to sleep!"

Ye Jinyan looked at Han Tao in surprise. He had talked to the company's legal advisor before, but they always spoke ambiguously. They were afraid that if they could train good legal personnel, their own advisor's work would become unimportant.

In fact, this is just an inertial way of thinking. The company's legal department is not a law firm, and professional matters still require professionals.

For example, handling legal disputes such as litigation, arbitration, and coordination involving the company requires experienced professional lawyers, while the legal department handles mostly internal issues, with prevention being the priority.

"Mr. Ye, please don't give me the cold shoulder. The sales department's biggest headache is meeting with the legal specialist. So I think both the consulting team and the in-house legal staff need to change their mindset."

What legal affairs should do is not to avoid risks, but to discover and control risks.

You can’t just know what’s right or wrong; you also need to know how to do things better while keeping things in good shape. You also need to know if something doesn’t work, and whether there are other options that can achieve the same business goals.”

Upon hearing this, Fan Jingang couldn't help but ask, "That's true, but is there any better solution?"

"Three solutions: 1. Decentralize power. The legal department should be more involved in day-to-day management rather than just being a firefighter watching the fun.

2. Improve their treatment and status. Otherwise, they will have no desires and what can motivate them to make progress? If they have no ambition, they will not think of adding pressure and burden to themselves.

3. Performance-based pay: Risks taken should be rewarded accordingly. This is why external legal counsel are willing to proactively resolve issues. If the group's legal staff can promptly identify and proactively and effectively resolve project issues, they should be rewarded!

If you can promote project progress within the scope of control, you should also share the results with the relevant departments! "

Ye Jinyan paused, patted Han Tao on the shoulder, nodded in agreement and said:

"Great minds think alike. This is a very good point. Secretary Fan, please make a note of this. In the future, projects in which the Legal Department participates should also share in the fruits of victory. Han Lu said it well: if you put in the effort, you must get something in return."

Ask Han Lu for the feasibility report, specific implementation plan, and charter tomorrow. I believe he's already prepared."

"No problem. After all, I'm in charge of the reform work of the Ministry of Justice, so Wendy is almost ready."

After saying that, Han Tao smiled slightly and said to Ye Jinyan half-jokingly and half-seriously:

"As the CLO, I'd like to thank Mr. Ye on behalf of all the members of the Legal Department. You don't know, but these guys complain to me every day. They say they envy the consulting team because they get bonuses for every case they're involved in, while the Legal Department is the one who takes the blame. They never get any bonuses, and they're always the first to take the blame when something goes wrong."

"Han Lu, now I know why your praise rate is so high. It's because you don't hide anything. I, Ye Jinyan, admire you!"

After leaving the building, Han Tao and Ye Jinyan continued chatting in the back of the BMW X7 driven by Fan Jingang.

Yang Dongxu followed in Leader No. 1, and the two cars sped all the way to the Yiyuan Restaurant on Hongqiao Road.

........................

At the same time, the Yiyuan Restaurant, with lush green vegetation climbing all over the walls, is quiet in the bustling environment and looks particularly elegant.

In an elegantly decorated private room, the driver, Master Ma, who arrived earlier, was chatting with Zhu Suosuo about family matters.

"Dong dong!"

Suddenly, the boss of Yiyuan knocked on the door and came in. He looked at Master Ma who was chatting with Zhu Suosuo and said with a smile:

"Mr. Ma, the golden crab set meal you requested is already prepared. Each crab is carefully selected by me from the best sources. I guarantee you and Ms. Zhu will be satisfied with the meal!"

"Okay, thank you, boss!"

Seeing the boss of Yiyuen personally promoting the service, Master Ma, who had long planned to pretend to be a wealthy executive in front of Zhu Suosuo, felt very honored, so he happily expressed his gratitude.

Seeing Master Ma's pretentiousness, the owner of Yiyuan also cooperated calmly and said:

"Look at what you said, it's all my responsibility. If you need anything, just tell the foreman, don't hesitate! Our business here depends on you taking care of it."

"you are too polite!"

Nodding to the Yiyuan manager, Master Ma took a sip of tea and motioned for Zhu Suosuo to try it: "This is the old tree tea we have here. It tastes very good. Give it a try!"

"I won't bother you two anymore. Call me if you need anything!"

The owner of Yiyuen naturally would not stay here and be a light bulb. He looked at Master Ma and Zhu Suosuo and said goodbye with a smile on his face.

Seeing the boss of Yiyuan leave the private room, Master Ma drank the tea on the table while hiding his panic and said:

"This boss really knows how to run a business. He saw that we were regular customers and opened such a large private room for us!"

"I'm sorry, I just heard the boss call you Mr. Ma? I thought..."

It was the first time that Zhu Suosuo heard the manager of Yiyuen call Ye Jinyan "Mr. Ma", and she asked hesitantly.

"Oh~~"

Seeing that Zhu Suosuo had seen through his identity as Ye Jinyan, Master Ma, who had been prepared for this, said calmly:

"My last name is Ma. I think Lao Ye and I are good friends. We have worked together for many years. I am his right-hand man in the company."

"Oh!"

After listening to Master Ma's clear explanation, Zhu Suosuo breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was still a little confused, she had seen with her own eyes that the other party received the documents for Ye Jinyan in the president's office.

Given his status, he wouldn't lie to her. She must have misunderstood him. The fact that he hadn't explained this to her left her feeling a bit confused.

Chapter 56 Ye Jinyan's Big Move

Inside the VIP room of Yiyuan Restaurant, Hongqiao Road, Shanghai.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the manager of Yiyuan personally brought in a pot of tea and then left.

Ye Jinyan took a sip of tea and asked meaningfully:

"Han Lu, I wonder if you are interested in joining Jingyan's board of directors?

I understand that you are the second largest shareholder of Hantao Investment, own a number of businesses, and hold shares in many large companies."

Han Tao knew that Ye Jinyan must have investigated his information very thoroughly, so he was not surprised.

He took the teacup handed to him by Fan Jingang and asked with a smile:

"Mr. Ye, is it the Group's intention to donate shares?"

"Yes, the group plans to raise about 100 billion yuan in external financing. Based on the current market value, after the financing is completed, it will account for about 15% to 20% of the total shares, which is similar to the shareholding of the group's second largest shareholder.

I suggest you consider it, even if you only buy a small part of the shares, it will be of great help to your future work.

And you know Jingyan's situation well, it's definitely worth investing in, so I think you might consider it?"

Not sure why Ye Jinyan thought he had so much money. Han Tao probably thought it was the equity and cash flow under his name that gave him this illusion, so Han Tao said helplessly:

"Of course I'm interested in Jingyan's equity, because I highly respect your business philosophy and leadership ability!

However, I don't have that much money. The only things I can cash out are some funds and stocks. The largest number of them are our Jingyan shares, a total of 25 million shares.

But I can’t release them all at once, otherwise it won’t be good for the company!”

"Twenty-five million shares? What a bold move! It seems Han Lu has great confidence and trust in our Jingyan Group!"

Fan Jingang's eyes widened as he looked at Han Tao, who spoke in a calm tone, his face full of disbelief.

Although he should be happy about Jingyan Group's stock, from a rational point of view, it was six or seven hundred million yuan, and he wasted it on a single stock. I don't know if he was bold or stupid!

Ye Jinyan was also very surprised. Although this amount of money was not a lot for him, it was definitely not a small amount. The main thing was the trust!
