[INDO SUB] The Story of Xing Fu EP23 | Zhao Liying / Liu Wei | YOUKU
[The Story of Xing Fu] [Episode 23] Here. You guys should check the second clause. And those below it. Mr. Guan and the rest came all the way here to resolve this case. Dear villagers. Please listen to Mr. Guan for now. This case is clear from the start. Actually,
This is just a contract breach. Our main issue now is to provide the court with solid evidence. That evidence will be the contracts you had. Oh. And an accurate marker of your losses. All of these can become the base that we can use to request compensation from them. We cannot guarantee our win.
However, I think we have a huge chance of winning. Does everyone still have the contract? Yes. I have it. I left it at home. I didn’t bring it. -Mine is gone. -You didn’t bring it? -Calm down. -It’s missing. Those who have their contracts with them, if you’re willing, you can sign
The letter of attorney with our lawyers here. Our lawyers will press charges against them on our behalf. As for those without the contract, you guys can calm down. Go home and search for it. If you truly can’t find it, you guys can find evidence
Of your cooperation with the other party for the past few years and show them to us. So, what can be considered evidence? It’s the bank statement that consists of your transaction with the other party. It’s fine as long it can prove that you worked together with the other party. Okay? So, first,
Let’s deal with those who have the contracts with them. Next, we’ll deal with those who don’t have the contracts with them, okay? Okay. Alright. So, is there anything else? There’s one more thing we need to tell you guys beforehand. We have to tell you guys about our standard rate. Next, let us
Invite Mr. Zhang to speak. Here. Dear villagers, let me tell you guys about our rate. According to the regulations of our law firm, we usually charge at least 2,000 yuan per case for contract disputes such as these. It’s that expensive? However… That’s too expensive. However, we do take your difficulties into account.
That’s why we’ve prepared two solutions today. First, if you hand over the contract right now, we’ll charge you 1,500 yuan per case. That’s okay. 1,500 yuan isn’t too bad. There’s a second solution. Second, we’ll charge you guys for a contingency fee. What’s that? We’ll only take the money if we win the case.
However, due to the risk, we have to charge a higher rate. We’ll charge 4,000 yuan per case. That’s why you guys can consider the two solutions and pick one. Okay? I’ll take the 1,500 yuan option. Xingfu, decide for us. Which solution should we choose? Yeah. Xingfu, you have to help us out.
How can -we afford 4,000 yuan? -It’s like this. You see, those established law firms charge people tens of thousands of yuan from the start. No one is willing to charge a low rate like Mr. Guan and the rest in order to help us out. It’s tough for the law firm too.
They came all the way here to help us out. They need petrol for their vehicles and food for themselves too, am I right? All of those cost money. And, we don’t know how long the court case will last. [Legal counsel] We can’t just let them make a trip for nothing. Am I right?
She has a point. You guys should think about it. Xingfu, if so, we’ll follow your advice. I’ll hand it over right now! I’ll pay 1,500 yuan. Me too! Us too! Tell us how to pay. Well… It’s like this. So, to my right is Mr. Wang. Over here.
Those who want to go for the contingency plan may go to Mr. Wang. To my left is Mr. Zhang. Those who want to go for the normal route may go to him. Okay. I’ll sign it now. I’ll pay right now. Remember to read the agreement first. Okay! Everyone! Queue up! Queue up!
Calm down. Take your turns. Dear villagers, please queue up. Take your turns. Don’t panic. Don’t panic. It’s fine. You guys can search for it at home. If you guys couldn’t find it… Qinglai? Qingzhi? What are you doing here? You… What are you doing? I was preparing dinner. Your sister-in-law
Is working in the city. She’s doing great. She went on a business trip with the other lawyers. I had to cook for myself. Fine. I bought some takeaways. You should stop cooking. Let’s eat together. Not bad, brat. Sure. Come on. Qinglai, it’s rare for the house to be quiet. Today,
We have to drink. Qinglai, without you, I wouldn’t get to where I am. What’s wrong with you today? Did something happen? Qinglai, I’m going to be the secretary of our city’s vice mayor. You got promoted? I shouldn’t think about it for now. Even so, it’s a fact. You spent time with the superiors
All day long. Of course they’ll promote you when you do a good job. Here. Let me offer you a toast. Thank you, Qinglai. Qingzhi, I won’t need to beg anyone anymore after you get promoted. Qinglai, I just got promoted. I have to be extra cautious and work extra hard. I will
Never have the guts to go against the law. I know that. You… You don’t need to worry. I won’t create trouble for you even if I have to starve to death. It’s just that… It’s just that one of my colleagues begged me to ask you so that you could
Ask your father-in-law to get a job for him. That’s all. Qinglai, I was just planning to tell you about that. Can you stop asking Yani’s father for help in the future? Do you think I dare to ask him for help? Do you know how he looked at me when I greeted him?
It was as if I was dog poo. Qinglai, do you know how I got to be the secretary? I don’t. How did you get promoted? First, I did well in my job. I was acknowledged by my superiors. However, in my opinion, I wouldn’t be promoted this easily if Yani’s father didn’t acknowledge me.
After all, her father is a member of the Municipal Council’s Organization Department. He has the right to give his opinion on the appointment of all officers. Qinglai, to put it bluntly, if her father said something bad about me, my future would’ve been ruined. Okay… Okay. If so, I’ll avoid him in the future.
Qinglai, I… Let me offer you a toast. You’ve suffered because of me. Let me offer you a toast instead. Congratulations. Come on. Listen, after we head back, we have to win Ms. Liu’s case first. With that, the rest of the cases will follow suit and everything will be easy.
There are over 20 contracts here. We have over 30,000 yuan here. And, plenty of people were still queuing up to sign the contingency plan with us. Today, I’ve taught you guys a proverb. This is what you call “Many a little makes a mickle”. You better learn it. Hey,
I have something to discuss with you two. I’ve been thinking about this for the past two days. We just started our law firm not long ago. Why are we putting on a facade? Xingfu is of enormous help to us. If she wishes to become our receptionist, we should let her be one.
We should let Xingfu grow together with our law firm. What do you guys think? Of course it’s a yes! You don’t say? -He’s hungry. -It’s cold. It got cold. -Give me a second. -Is that so? Let me heat it. Time to eat. Mom, Dad. Xingfu? When did you come back?
I followed Mr. Guan and his men to Shiqiao Village for a business trip. We passed by on our way back to the city. That’s why I applied for leave to visit you guys and Little Dou. Here. Here’s your mother. Dou. Look at Mommy. Do you still recognize me? Do you miss Mommy?
It’ll be terrifying if he can speak. Mom. Good boy. Dad, it must’ve been tough on both of you. When we’re more able, we’ll bring Dou to the city and let him attend kindergarten. You guys can relax by then. Dou is the source of our lives. We’ll be disheartened if you bring him away.
This is your mother. Your mother is here. Mr. Wan. Who’s there? Who is it? I’m here to visit you. Xingfu, you’re here? Let me help you up. It’s fine. It’s totally fine. Hey. -Why did you bring so much stuff? -I bought something for you. I…
I don’t know what to buy before I visit you. You’re too courteous. Have a seat. Here. You don’t need to be so courteous. I’m not being courteous at all. I even ate the old hen you gave me. You still remember that? So, Qinglai, how is he doing? Qinglai is working in the city.
In the past, I made a promise to your mother-in-law. I said I would let Qinglai work in the factory. That promise still counts. You guys can come back anytime you like. Mr. Wan, thank you for still remembering us. Regarding that issue… Let’s forget about that. Even if you were pressing charges against me,
You were still doing the right thing. I didn’t do my job well. Mr. Wan, it all happened because I wrote the letter. I’ve let you down. Hey, Xingfu. Get up. You don’t need to do that. Sit down. Xingfu, I’ve given the issue some thought as well. You’re a good child. I admire
Your drive, your honesty, your reasonable demeanor, and your kindness. You should work hard out there. You shouldn’t forget about Wan Village even after you’ve made it big. You should contribute to Wan Village too. But of course. I’m a member of Wan Village. I will never leave my roots behind
No matter how far I go. Don’t worry. You’re a good child. I will remember your words. [Receptionist: He Xingfu] Hey. Seems like our new receptionist isn’t too pleased with her new job. Looks like she’s upset. Of course I’m upset. You guys tease me all day long. Look. You never take my words seriously.
Why are you suspecting us? Come on. Let us welcome our new receptionist, Ms. He Xingfu. You guys should stop teasing me. Who’s trying to tease you here? Xingfu, do we look like swindlers to you? Yeah. You two should stop. You’re our new receptionist. Do you two spoil moods for a living? Huh?
The news was good, but you two made it seem like a scam. Ms. He Xingfu, we plan to recruit you as the receptionist of Fangyuan Law Firm. From now on, you will receive 3,000 yuan per month. If there’s no objection… [Fangyuan Law Firm] you may sign here after reading the contract. What? Here.
Is… Is this for real? Of course. Am I… Am I a real receptionist now? Yeah. Keep up the good work. This is so sudden. By the way, I’m still working as the handyman, right? I’ll come here one hour earlier and leave half an hour later every day. Can you do it? Of course!
After that? Do you have any other requests? I… Since I’m doing two jobs at once, I… I won’t ask for much. I just want an additional 500 yuan per month. 3,500 yuan will be fine. However, you shouldn’t celebrate yet. Although you’ve graduated from being a handyman, being a receptionist
Is something new to you. We’ll give you a three-month probation period. If you don’t do a good job at it, you will return to being a handyman. No problem! You can do it! [Signature of Party B: He Xingfu] Hey! I’m back! That’s fine and all, but why did you have to scare me?
Did you strike the lottery? I’m a receptionist now. Although I’m still working as a handyman too, I’ll receive 3,500 yuan per month now. That way, if we add both of our wages together, we’ll have at least 6,000 yuan per month. They’re giving you an extra 2,000 yuan per month? Yeah. Mr. Liu,
I will have 1 kg of pork ribs. I want this, this, and this. Xingfu. Yani. You’re here. Come in. Okay. Yani is here. Hello, Qinglai. Do the dishes for me. Sure, you guys can have a chat. Let me hold this for you. Xingfu, this is the outfit I bought for you.
You should try them and see if they fit you. Yani, you bought things for us again. Don’t be so courteous with me. I’ll get upset if you do so. Look at what I’ve bought for you. I didn’t buy any heavy makeups for you because we could not put on heavy makeup during work.
That’s why I bought some light makeup for you. You can try the color later. Okay. Xingfu, have a seat. Bring me the mirror. Try this. But, Xingfu, one’s elegance is more than just putting on makeup and dressing oneself nicely. I need to study too. I know that. Wisdom in hold, elegance in mold.
What was that again? What I meant was when you have enough knowledge, your elegance will flow out naturally. Not just that, we need to be confident and polite too, am I right? Xingfu, you’ve totally changed. The lipstick looks great. Try it. I think the color suits you. I don’t understand.
What are you doing? Why would a decent woman put on makeup every day? Why must you be so mean? Putting on makeup is the most basic respect you can show to your clients. This is an act of manners. Don’t judge if you don’t know anything. This looks great.
Qinglai, I’ll make a move first. Take care. Let me see you off. Xingfu, you’re earning more money than Qinglai now, right? Yeah. Just a little. No wonder. What’s the matter? Qinglai minds the difference. What? I’m not spending the extra money on other men. Why should he mind it? Most men are afraid
That their spouses become more capable than them. In my opinion, Qinglai is far less experienced than you. I was just spouting nonsense. Don’t take it to heart. Yani, you and Qingzhi are doing great. You two are so close to each other and you can say anything to each other.
I’m so envious of you two. Besides spending our days together, Qinglai and I have nothing to talk about. In the past, when I was still in the village, I thought I was lucky to be able to get married to a man like Qinglai. He was born in a rich village.
He is honest and hardworking as well. He is protective of his family and is simple too. Doesn’t that make him a good man? But now, I think there are many flaws to him as well. I feel like something’s different. Xingfu, it’s because you’ve improved, while Qinglai did not.
But when I think about it, he does not have it easy either. He just likes to work on the fields with his father. He likes to work the entire day and sweat profusely. After that, he’ll devour two bowls of rice and sleep. It was a simple and happy life.
But now that we’re in the city, things are different. We have to rack our brains. We even have to learn new things. He’s not used to it. I can tell. Qinglai is an honest man. Life here is totally different from village life. But Xingfu, what if Qinglai cannot get used to it
No matter what? What else can we do? No matter what, he’s my man. He’s the father of my child. If that’s the case, Xingfu, you need to help Qinglai to improve himself. If not, your days will get harder and harder. Yeah. You’re right. I have to help him to improve himself. Really?
Do you think I can do it? I can tell from your expression. In my opinion, you can achieve whatever you set out to achieve. Sure. Thank you. You can do it. Your outfit looks great. [People’s Court] Of Fushui Town, [Presiding Judge] Xiuchuan County, regarding the civil dispute. By Article 6, Article 60, and Article 107 of the Contract Law of the People’s Republic of China, here is the verdict. First, the defendant, Meijia Trading Pvt. Ltd., will have to fulfill the promise within the contract and assume the responsibility
Of selling the apples that were grown by Liu Yingying, the plaintiff, within 15 days after the verdict takes effect. Second, the defendant, Meijia Trading Pvt. Ltd., shall bear the financial losses suffered by Liu Yingying, the plaintiff, due to their failure in complying with the contract. They shall pay 12,482 yuan to the plaintiff.
Third, the case acceptance fee, which costs 112 yuan, shall be paid by the defendant, Meijia Trading Pvt. Ltd. Thank you. Thank you. She’s here. Xingfu. Xingfu. Everyone, calm down. Take your turns. When can we press charges against them? The apples will be rotten if we delay them any longer. Shh.
The lawyers are working right now. Please keep your volume low. Okay. Let’s lower our volume. Let’s go by the procedures. I have some forms over here. You guys can fill it in first. Find me if you have any questions. Okay. Okay. Alright. Give me one. Everyone has one. Third Uncle. Okay. Ms. Li.
Take one each. The HQ of Ampher Union Biological Products is in Germany. Their branches are located in plenty of countries all over the world. This is their first time establishing a fully-funded subsidiary company in China. It’s also the largest foreign enterprise in our province. This is the current situation. They plan to hire
A local third party legal consultant. According to what I’ve heard, they will pay them around three million yuan per year. That means any law firm that can clinch this deal will have a three million yuan boost to their annual income. Currently, every law firm in the city is biding their time.
Ampher is planning to offer the deal to the one with the best price. They plan to make this open to anyone who wishes to cooperate with them. My fellow colleagues, are you guys interested? Why don’t we give it a try? Speak up. It’s three million yuan, you know?
If we can get our hands on the money, we can be rid of our pathetic circumstances and rise to the sky. But it’s a giant foreign enterprise. Would they choose a nameless law firm like us? Yeah. Right now, we have to deal with hundreds of cases for the villagers.
There are only three people working in this law firm. We cannot handle it. Yeah. Hundreds of cases? They only total up to tens of thousands of yuan. This case is worth three million yuan, you know? And, all those cases are the same. We just need to combine them and go through the motions.
Any one of us can handle them. A foreign enterprise might be too much for us right now. Can you stop finding excuses for your timidness? Mr. Guan, there are over 10 clients outside the law firm. Are they from Shiqiao Village? Yes. Tell them that we’ve already won the first case. They won’t lose.
The court has its arrangements. We’ll notify them once we receive any news. Go now. However, I think we might need to filter out our clients and cases in the future. These clients of ours were pretty eccentric. The client I was representing last time, what was his name again? His name was… Sanlin?
Yeah, Sanlin. Right when I was about to press charge in court, he did something unexpected. He brought some things with him and tried to reconcile with the other party. Luckily, I discovered it in time. If not, it would spell trouble for us if the negotiation broke down
Or if he could not fulfill said conditions. You can’t just say that. After all, many a little makes a mickle. At least, they can solve our urgent needs. However, we cannot depend on such cases alone if we wish to develop our law firm. That’s why
We should fight for the case with Ampher Group. Do you think it’s possible? Why not? I know our law firm is tiny and we might not be the most experienced lawyers around, but foreigners might not care about that. What if they value our attitudes towards the law? The three of us
Are excellent in that. I agree. Actually, I think we should give it a try. Even if we fail, at least we can know the difference between us and the others. Am I right? And, how could you know that we would fail for sure?
Don’t tell me we’re not even confident in our own abilities? What do you say? Alright. Let’s do it. But since we’ve decided to do it, we must be determined to win. When is the bid? It’s on the 12th of next month. We have 25 days left. We still have time. From now on,
We have to do our best to prepare the legal documents. Time for lunch! Mr. Zhang, Mr. Wang, lunch is here. Mr. Guan, time for lunch. Okay. Leave them over there for now. Xingfu, how many cases do we have to deal with this week? We still have nine cases left. Okay.
Everything is happening at the same time. Now, we’re trying to win the bid for Ampher Group’s case. We have to spend a lot of time preparing for the bid. It would be great if we could delay these cases to next month. What? If you delay them to next month,
All those apples will go rotten. I guess we have no choice then. By the way, Xingfu, tell them to stop coming. The journey is pretty long. We’ll notify them immediately if we have any news. Can anyone interpret this material judicially for me? Which material? This one. Equity transfer agreement of foreign investment enterprise.
After its establishment… Yes, just follow what it says and you’ll be done. [Fangyuan Law Firm] Why aren’t you eating? I have already finished my meal. Why are people like this? What do you mean? They were fine at first, but they changed gradually. Were you referring to us?
It’s all because of the land reclamation. I wasn’t referring to that. I was referring to Guan Tao and the other lawyers. They were happy when they first received requests from the farmers. They said they wanted to get back their money for them. But now, they’ve changed. They’re not paying attention to them anymore.
They’ll help whoever pays them the most. In the end, they just look down on farmers. Morning, Mr. Guan. Morning. Have you had breakfast? I have no appetite because I slept late and woke up early. Mr. Guan, it must’ve been tough on you. I made some porridge for you. Try it. Hey,
You’re so thoughtful. It’s piping hot too. Finish it while it’s hot. How did you make this? I made it with an electric rice cooker. Hey, you must be careful. Open flames aren’t allowed in offices. Don’t worry about it. I know that. It smells great. I suddenly feel like eating now.
Let me try it. It’s delicious. Did you keep some for them? I did. I prepared an entire pot. What is this? It’s cured meat. The villagers of Shiqiao Village sent them to us. I was wondering why it was so delicious. You should have more so that you have the energy to work harder.
It’s delicious. [Fangyuan Law Firm] Are you guys getting off work? Xingfu, you’re still here? It’s already 8 PM. You should get off work. Yeah, we’ll have dinner together. Do you want to join us? No, thanks. You should join us. You guys can go ahead. Something is up? Yeah.
You guys can order the dishes first. I’ll be there soon. Alright. What’s wrong? Is there any problem? Mr. Guan, are you guys still paying attention to the apple case? Of course. It’s just that the current case is more important right now. Is it that important? How important is it?
Ampher Group is calling for bids. If we win the bid, they’ll pay us three million yuan per year. It can help the development of our company greatly. But… But the apple case is hugely beneficial to the law firm too. Xingfu, are you trying to argue this with me?
I didn’t say that the case wasn’t important. It’s just that the bid is more urgent from a chronological perspective. Alright. Mr. Guan, I know the huge case is important. I know they’re farmers and they’re not rich and powerful, but you guys shouldn’t ignore them because of the huge case. Xingfu, you misunderstood me.
I understood what you meant when you passed the porridge to me. All of them are my clients. I won’t forget about them. Don’t worry. I’ll surely deal with their cases within the allocated time. It’s getting late. You should get off work. Xingfu, although the three of us are penniless now, we’ll be rich
When we make it back. Guan Tao. How’s the preparation? Is everything ready? Yeah. Let’s go. By the way, Xingfu, we’re going to attend the bid. We’ll leave the house to you. [Ampher Group] I didn’t expect you to grace us with your presence. It’s my duty. Isn’t that Mr. Xiao from the Lawyers Association?
He’s actually here? They have the famous judicial theory expert with them too. They look pretty overwhelming. Let’s head inside. Mr. Frank, that’s all for the introduction of Xuze Law Firm. Thank you. [Representative of Lawyers Association] [Legal Consultant] Next, let us welcome Yidao Law Firm. Yidao Law Firm? I know them well.
Mr. Han’s standard is impeccable. There are over 3,000 members within the Lawyers Association. I dare not say he’s the top member. However, he’s one of the top ten members. Am I right, Mr. Qian? Mr. Xiao is right. In my opinion, he’s more than qualified enough to be one of the top 100 members.
As a lawyer, one’s capability is very important. However, one’s connections are more important. Mr. Han is especially great [Representative of Fangyuan Law Firm] at that. You two flatter me. You see, [Representative of Yidao Law Firm] I’ve been a lawyer for more than 20 years. I realized something. Actually, in the end,
Everyone in the industry is pretty much on the same level. It’s a contest to see who’s better at memorizing the law. However, I heard that it’s your first time visiting China. To be a lawyer in China, not only do you need to be good at your job,
But you also have to be capable of communicating with different circles of society. We have an advantage over others because I’ve worked in different departments over the years. I’m familiar with both the top and bottom levels of society. Mr. Qian, am I right? Yes. I remember that when I was first
Transferred to this city, you came to my house on the second day right after I reported for duty. [Representative of Fangyuan Law Firm] But why is it important to have a relationship with the other circles? Why is it important to have a relationship with the other circles? It’s because this is
The national condition unique to China. If you want to start a business in China, it will be difficult for you to do well if you don’t have great connections. Establishing connections with the other circles is our expertise. He. This contains the materials we had prepared for this meeting.
Regarding all of the possible legal issues you guys might face when establishing a business in China, we’ve provided detailed solutions to all of them. Let us thank Yidao Law Firm. Lastly, let us welcome Fangyuan Law Firm. I’m Guan Tao, the co-founder of Fangyuan Law Firm. Today… Excuse me.
Let me interrupt for a second there. I need to introduce Guan Tao to you guys. Initially, Guan Tao was one of our lawyers. After all, Yidao Law Firm is filled with talents. Of course, it’s very competitive here and the rate of elimination is high. Mr. Guan Tao resigned from our law firm
Not long ago. He and a few youngsters established something called Fangyuan Law Firm. They’ve only existed for just over one year. Am I right? That’s right. Please continue. Besides preparing some basic documents for the bid, we have thoroughly researched the culture of your company. We’ve come up with a proposal
With regards to your unique culture and the Chinese market. This proposal is… Sir, we’re running out of time. Thank you for your thought. Mr. Han, we would like to visit your firm and discuss the situation with you as soon as possible. Due to time constraints, we would like
To thank Mr. Guan for the speech. Mr. Frank hopes that he can visit Mr. Han and Yidao Law Firm as soon as possible to proceed with the next step. Of course. You’re welcome to do so. We await your arrival. Let us congratulate Yidao Law Firm. Let us congratulate Ampher Group for making
A wise call. That’s all for the bid today. Mr. Frank, may I take up some of your time? I just wish to say something. We prepared these documents especially for your company. It’s useless to us. So, we’ll leave them here. You can read it if you have the time. If it can
Serve you to some extent, at least it’s something that we can be happy about. At least it proves that all of our effort wasn’t wasted.
