Chapter 767 Summoning "Brother-in-Law"
?Yang Cheng specially brought Wu Hanyang over for this matter. By the way, it is worth mentioning that Situ Yanran's little boyfriend, with Yang Cheng's support, has successfully passed the lawyer's qualification exam. He is in the probationary period, but becoming a regular is only a matter of Yang Cheng's words.
As soon as this guy got the qualification, he joined a law firm that cooperates with New Times Media and Yuanshan as an intern, and studied with a partner lawyer. Although he has not yet received the annual salary of hundreds of thousands of dollars for a formal lawyer, he has already He earned much more than he went out to find a job by himself. If he could become a partner in the future and get a million dividends, Yang Cheng would have an explanation to Situ's family.
However, bringing Wu Hanyang this time is also to provide him with a chance to become famous, and it is not a problem to directly become a full-time member if he makes use of it.
Looking at Wu Hanyang, who was sitting across from him anxiously, he couldn't help thinking of the scene when we met for the first time in Hawaii last year. At that time, he was still childish, with a stubbornness on his body. Now he is wearing a top-level suit worth several thousand dollars. , black hair meticulously groomed, carrying a briefcase, walking on the street looks just like the elites of Wall Street.
It's just that after Yang Cheng deliberately let go of his aura to take the school exam, it seemed that his true colors were revealed. He sat upright on the sofa with his legs together, and his stiff appearance almost made Yang Cheng fail.
To be honest, he still has a good impression of this kid, otherwise he wouldn't have spent time cultivating him, because he saw in Wu Hanyang a shadow of himself when he first entered society from school in his previous life.
How did Wu Hanyang know that the serious-looking "big brother" opposite him was already lost in thought at this moment, and he was so nervous, you must know that for the sake of Situ Yanran, he had worked so hard for his studies and exams for more than a year. For the sake of a lawyer's qualification, he can't wait to sleep and forget to eat and sleep. Finally, the sky pays off. He succeeded, and he also saw the hope of marrying Situ Yanran in the future, and even more so, he could meet his beloved girl as soon as possible.
Suddenly received a call from "Brother Uncle" today. He was unavoidably excited and nervous. He was worried about gains and losses. He was afraid that he would make a mistake and be sentenced to death by Yang Cheng. premonition.
After being suppressed by the huge aura for more than ten minutes, Yang Cheng finally came back to his senses and said, "How is your life at the law firm? Have you learned any useful knowledge? Have you been bullied?"
As soon as Yang Cheng's question came out, Wu Hanyang breathed a sigh of relief. It didn't look like a bad thing, so he calmed down and quickly replied, "Everything is fine, everyone takes good care of me, especially the master, who looks very strict on weekdays, but in fact He is very kind to me and often teaches me, I am very grateful.”
Yang Cheng nodded slightly, the corners of his mouth raised, "That's good, your master Laham is a partner of the law firm, and he is also a strong contender for the top ten gold medal lawyers in New York. His ability is beyond doubt, and he is also the legal consultant of our company. If You are doing well, and you are likely to succeed him in the future."
This is a big picture. Succession is a long way off. Laham is in his prime, and his ability and state are at the pinnacle of his life. If he wants to succeed him, unless he makes a mistake himself, he will not think about it within ten years. up.
Of course, if a young lawyer wants to become a talent, there is no time for ten years, so don't even think about it.
Many young people fell in love with the profession of lawyers because of an American drama "Suits", which is called Jin Suits in Chinese, because the protagonist Harvey Specter is the title partner of the most famous New York law firm, and his office is located in the most exclusive office building in New York. In the house, there are beauties and luxury cars in and out, and the daily transactions handled are all big orders with a target of tens of millions of dollars. I think this is the standard configuration of lawyers in reality.
Of course, for top lawyers, these are all normal, even worse, but for the vast majority of lawyers in the United States, apart from having a majestic appearance, they are nothing more than food and clothing for their families. Just ordinary people.
Wu Hanyang was lucky. Because of Yang Cheng, even though his qualifications were not ranked among the applicants, he was still able to enter a top law firm and study with a famous barrister. Such an experience is beyond the reach of countless law schools. Graduates are coveted and elusive.
In the United States, lawyers have always been a popular profession. For example, in New York State, almost 8 out of every 1,000 people are lawyers, and working in a top law firm is also the dream of most people.
In top law firms, good office conditions are absolute, with comfortable decoration, comprehensive hardware facilities, IT systems and a complete internal database. You can easily find previous cases in the internal database as templates, and the quality control of the results is also quite strict. .
Moreover, the top law firms in the United States pay great attention to the distinction between legal business and administrative affairs. Even an intern is generally not required to do administrative affairs.
This is still very different from the trainee lawyers in country Z. In the impression of many people, many trainee lawyers are just doing odd jobs. They can only do trivial tasks such as copying and printing, and some of them don’t even have a trainee salary. , Even going to a law firm for an internship requires paying tuition.
For these top law firms in the United States, the cases or lawsuits handled are relatively large. Even if you are a novice who has just joined the company, you still have the opportunity to be drawn into some large project teams. You can have access to the entire process, text and various seminars of project operation, which is a big platform for young lawyers to broaden their horizons and cultivate their abilities.
The most important thing is that working in a top law firm usually has a lot of cases, especially Americans like to find a lawyer, and they have to bring a lawyer to talk about anything serious.
Relatively speaking, the work intensity is also very high. Therefore, American law firms generally require strict timing of effective working hours and incorporate workload into assessment indicators.
The annual effective working hours of the top British and American law firm associations are usually around 2,000 hours. Of course, there are also a few law firms that only require 1,500-1,900 hours. This is also an extremely small number, because they hardly accept individual orders, or ordinary people. Most of the orders are served by large enterprises and rich people.
Top law firms strictly control the quality of work results. They are very busy when the business volume is heavy, and overtime is the norm. It is very good to be able to leave before 10 pm, and usually leave around 11-12 pm.
Some, or some time periods, the intensity of overtime work is less intense. It may be about two times a week. It is not very common to work overtime until midnight, but many people continue to work after returning home. As far as interns are concerned, they usually work at night. I can go back at seven or eight o'clock, and occasionally I may work overtime until 11-12 o'clock in the evening.
The promotion mechanism of the top law firms in the United States is very standardized, and the manual can be found out. The salary is raised according to the year, which basically has nothing to do with the quality of the work. Those who do not do well are driven away, and those who do well are kept. They all have to be good, and there is no difference in salary. Generally, they raise 15,000 to 20,000 U.S. dollars a year. As long as they don’t catch up with the catastrophic financial crisis, they raise them almost every year. Generally, the initial salary after becoming a regular is 15. Starting with an annual salary of US$10,000, let alone becoming a partner of a law firm in the future, it is basically equivalent to entering the rich class.
Becoming a partner of the law firm is also Yang Cheng's expectation for Wu Hanyang. Only at this level can he barely be worthy of Situ Yanran. With the help of Yang Cheng and Situ's family, he will not worry about life in the future.
It's not that Yang Cheng and the others have a snobbish eye, and they have to play with the right family. In fact, at their level, they have long disregarded the view of the family. It's just that Situ Yanran lived in a good environment since childhood, even without Yang Cheng's bad habit of extravagance and prodigal. Daily spending habits cannot be changed.
Skin care products and cosmetics must be top-notch, right? Every year, I spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on bags and clothes to enrich my closet, participate in social activities from time to time, and buy jewelry to match with dresses. In this way, spending a million dollars a year is considered frugal. All the above Situ Yanran can choose not to give it for love, but Wu Hanyang has to give it, this is the reality.
Fortunately, he met Yang Cheng and stood up at the critical moment and was willing to provide him with a broad road, otherwise in Hawaii that day, he would have been lucky if he hadn't been thrown into the sea to feed the fish.
In short, Yang Cheng gave Wu Hanyang a lot of hope, and made him no longer nervous. He calmed down and asked, "I don't know what orders Brother Yang has for calling me here?"
"Do you know about Fox's show host Becker's alleged racial discrimination?"
Wu Hanyang froze for a moment, then nodded in a daze, "I heard that a colleague was talking about this news early in the morning, but I was in a hurry to send documents to Laham, so I didn't think about it."
"Well~ You go back and study it to see if there is any way to make a fuss about this matter, such as finding a Chinese organization and suing Becker on their behalf." Yang Cheng said so far, the opportunity has been given, can it be effective? Come and see Wu Hanyang himself.
Wu Hanyang opened his mouth, and immediately realized that this was a stepping stone from his uncle. To know whether a lawyer is good or not depends largely on his reputation. When you go to court, it’s similar to how lawyers get angry. You wear ripped clothes and look sloppy. Who would believe that you are capable enough to go to court with you?
Wu Hanyang knew that this was a good opportunity, but he was naturally cautious and did not dare to agree easily, "Becker should be in California, I need to study the relevant legal provisions in California."
Yang Cheng was noncommittal about this, got up and went back to the desk, picked up the prepared file bag and handed it to Wu Hanyang who followed him, "Here is all the information of Becker, you can take it back and study it, if you need any help You can come to me, now, you can go back to work."
However, as soon as he finished seeing off the guests, Wu Hanyang scratched his head and said, "Brother Yang, my master Laham also came with me, and he is still waiting in the lobby, look~"
