Competition among law firms

At Changbai Jingyuan, in the afternoon, Chen Mo slowly parked his car in the underground garage, opened the trunk to take out the various local specialties his parents had packed for him, and took the elevator upstairs.

Upon returning upstairs, he directly knocked on Yang Dahai’s door. He had no use for these local specialties at home, so it was best to just hand them over to Yang Dahai’s family to deal with.

Moreover, if Yang Dahai’s family handled them, he would definitely get to eat some as well.

Not long after, the Room door opened.

“General Manager Chen, you’re back.”

Yang Dahai looked at Chen Mo at the doorway with a surprised expression.

“Yes, I brought some local specialties from home. You can take them and deal with them.”

Chen Mo nodded slightly, then handed the specialties in his hand to Yang Dahai.

Seeing this, Yang Dahai quickly waved his hand.

“General Manager Chen, how can this be? How can I take your things?”

“What are you talking about? If General Manager Chen tells you to take it, then just take it.”

At this moment, Dong Hong walked out from inside the house, reached out and took the specialties Chen Mo handed over, and said with a smile.

“General Manager Chen, we’ll accept these specialties. Thank you so much.”

“You’re welcome. I’ll head back then.”

Chen Mo also responded with a smile, then opened his own Room door and walked in.

“What are you doing? How could you just accept the things General Manager Chen gave you?”

After General Manager Chen entered the house, Yang Dahai looked at Dong Hong with a resentful expression.

“What do you know?”

Dong Hong couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Yang Dahai, raising the specialties in her hand.

“These specialties are all ingredients. Are you going to make General Manager Chen take them back and cook them himself?”

“This…”

Yang Dahai fell silent. How could he possibly make General Manager Chen cook for himself?

“So, we accept the ingredients, and after we’ve cooked the meal, we’ll send it over to General Manager Chen. Doesn’t that solve everything?”

Dong Hong glanced indifferently at Yang Dahai, then closed the Room door and walked into the Room.

Yang Dahai chuckled and quickly followed after her.

……….

The next day, at Baishu Law Firm,

Tang Qiu slowly walked into a studio carrying a stack of test papers, her gaze sweeping over the many neatly seated intern lawyers in the studio.

“Is everyone here?”

Today was the first day back from the holiday, and also the day to test the abilities of each intern lawyer.

During the holiday, she had meticulously prepared various exam papers on different laws. This time, there would be no interviews or simulations, only written tests.

This was to verify these intern lawyers’ mastery of the basics.

“General Manager Tang, everyone is here.”

An intern lawyer sitting at the very front quickly spoke up.

Tang Qiu nodded slightly upon hearing this, then distributed the test papers in her hand, according to the different types of law each intern lawyer specialized in.

Soon, the test papers were distributed to everyone.

“Everyone, please answer the test paper in your hand. This is related to whether you can stay at the law firm, so don’t think about helping others.”

Tang Qiu looked at the many intern lawyers in the studio and spoke slowly.

She wasn’t too worried about whether these people would copy from each other.

After all, when arranging the seats, she had intentionally placed intern lawyers who specialized in different types of law together. Their test papers were not the same, so even if they wanted to copy, it would be very difficult.

Moreover, even if there was a way to cheat, it would only get them through this written test. Later on,

she would also conduct interviews and litigation simulations.

By then, even if you wanted to cheat, it would be impossible.

After speaking, she ignored the reactions of the intern lawyers and directly sat down at the front of the studio.

Time slowly passed.

Soon, some intern lawyers finished their test papers and got up to submit them.

Tang Qiu looked at the few intern lawyers who submitted their papers early and secretly nodded. These intern lawyers were all ones she had previously thought highly of. Being able to submit their papers early now, it seemed that this written test should be no problem.

About 20 minutes later, the time for the test ended.

The intern lawyers, either voluntarily or passively, submitted their test papers.

Tang Qiu looked at the stack of test papers in her hand, got up, and walked back to her office.

Arriving at her desk, she began to check the test papers.

This time, she was not very strict. The test was graded out of 100, and as long as they could achieve 80 points or more, they would pass this assessment.

Flipping through the test papers one by one, approximately two hours later,

Tang Qiu put down the last test paper in her hand, stretched, and had a hint of relaxation on her face.

Looking at the few scattered test papers placed aside, she was slightly surprised.

In her estimation, this test should have eliminated more than 10 people, but now it seemed that only 6 people’s test papers did not reach 80 points.

This meant that only 6 people were eliminated this time.

6 people!

Not bad.

Tang Qiu’s lips curved into a slight smile. She had been worried before that if too many lawyers were eliminated too quickly in the previous assessments, it might cause the remaining intern lawyers to lack a sense of urgency.

However, now there was no need to worry at all. As long as enough people remained, competition would not disappear, and those intern lawyers would always maintain a sense of urgency, thereby working harder to study law.

Only in this way, could these intern lawyers grow rapidly and become independent individuals.

By then, Baishu Law Firm would truly have taken a step forward in the legal industry.

………………………

Time flowed by, and soon it was early October.

At Tomorrow Group, in the CEO’s office,

Chen Mo looked at the first batch of documents submitted by Qin Hong. It had been several days since he returned from Beichuan City, and the agricultural base there was slowly getting on track.

Although the company registration had not yet been finalized, the personnel allocation and some arrangements for the orchards already had preliminary plans.

Of course, the most important thing was that the capital expenditure already had a preliminary figure.

Excluding the more than 7 million in rent already paid out two days ago, other rental expenses were also continuously being incurred.

Among the one-time expenses were drilling wells and building cable cars. These two, after rough calculations, would require approximately 4 million in funds.

Then there was the cost of hiring machinery to clear the original fruit trees and the cost of seedlings for planting new Black Bitter Fruit Trees.

The estimated budget for this was about 80,000 yuan.

Ninety percent of this was for hiring machinery, and only ten percent was for the Black Bitter Fruit Tree seedlings.

As for why the cost of Black Bitter Fruit Tree seedlings was so low, it was entirely because black bitter fruit had a small audience, and no one cultivated it, so there were very few people selling Black Bitter Fruit Trees.

It was simply impossible to buy Black Bitter Fruit Tree seedlings for over 900 mu.

He wanted to spend this money, but he couldn't.

Qin Hong’s solution was to cultivate some Black Bitter Fruit Tree branches.

Regarding this, he had no other option. He couldn’t spend the money, but these seedlings definitely needed to be planted.

After all, the more this was the case, didn’t it just indicate that the Black Bitter Fruit Tree had a very small audience?

Even if the Black Bitter Fruit Tree could bear fruit two years later, he wouldn’t have to worry about selling the black bitter fruit.
