So this young lady, Gu Nianzhi, who looked like she hadn't even graduated from university, was the lawyer sent by the military?
Zhao Da breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Lawyer Jin, who looked like an elite, and then at the delicate little girl across from him. She was even younger than his granddaughter. What was she capable of? She must have gotten into the military through connections …
He sat back on the couch by the window and crossed his legs. He took out a cigarette to smoke, but Wen Shouyi stopped him in time.
"Mr. Zhao, this is a non-smoking office. If you want to smoke, you have to go outside the building."
"Oh, really? Then I won't smoke, I won't smoke … "Zhao Da smiled sheepishly as he crumpled the cigarette into a ball and threw it into the bin.
He looked at Lawyer Jin and was slightly taken aback when he saw that Lawyer Jin looked like he was facing a formidable enemy.
Lawyer Jin had already sat down cautiously with Gu Nianzhi on both sides of the conference table.
Zhang Baochen sat next to Lawyer Jin and looked at Gu Nianzhi. He wondered if Huo Shaoheng was here as well since Gu Nianzhi was here.
Zhang Baochen recognized the man who came with Gu Nianzhi, Zhao Liangze. He was Huo Shaoheng's personal secretary.
Why was he here with Gu Nianzhi?
Did Huo Shaoheng have something to do with what happened to Dacheng Industries?
Zhang Baochen's mind was running wild as he heard Lawyer Jin start talking nonstop.
"Miss Gu, are you here today on behalf of the military to ask my client to sign this asset investigation form?" Lawyer Jin shook the faxed copy in the air.
Gu Nianzhi nodded. "Of course. You didn't sign it yesterday, so I had to make another trip today. " She then looked at Zhang Baochen. "Mr. Zhang, I'll ask you again. Are you going to sign this asset investigation form or not?"
When Gu Nianzhi wasn't smiling, she had an aura of silence. Even a timid person would be intimidated by her and agree to her request without even realizing it.
Zhang Baochen clearly knew that Gu Nianzhi was an orphan and was completely relying on Huo Shaoheng to intimidate her. But when he saw her dark eyes, his heart trembled and his back broke out in sweat.
He stammered as he looked at Lawyer Jin and braced himself to say, "Lawyer … Lawyer Jin said …"
"What did Lawyer Jin say?" Gu Nianzhi cut him off and once again exerted psychological pressure on him.
Gu Nianzhi had studied these negotiation techniques before.
Because of this, she had specially taken courses related to psychology. Later, when she was in the Special Operations Forces, she learned a few tricks from the professionals in the Special Operations Forces who specialized in "bluffing" people. Compared to the average legal practitioner, she knew how to use her tone, posture, and micro-expressions to break through the other party's defenses and get what she wanted from the other party.
However, Zhang Baochen was even more useless than Gu Nianzhi thought.
Because he didn't know anything, no matter how much he scared him, he couldn't scare him. Instead, he was so nervous that he ran to the toilet several times.
Gu Nianzhi secretly cursed Zhang Baochen for being the most useless of useless people, but she maintained a smile on her face and pushed the asset survey form towards him. "If you can't give me a reason, then sign it …"
Zhang Baochen almost took the pen in a daze.
Lawyer Jin finally grabbed Zhang Baochen's hand and pushed the asset investigation form back to Gu Nianzhi. "Miss Gu, you can't possibly be thinking that the Dacheng Industries LLC incident would involve my client's personal assets, right?"
"Why else do you think I made this trip?" Gu Nianzhi cocked her head and smiled. She thought to herself, Here it comes.
She didn't seem to take it to heart at all. In fact, she had just entered her true combat state.
The pressure he exerted on Zhang Baochen was just the appetizer.
"Then let me repeat myself. According to our country's company law, Dacheng Industries Limited is a limited liability company. If Dacheng Industries has any problems with its operations and becomes insolvent, and needs to be liquidated, then just liquidate Dacheng Industries. Please don't count my client's personal assets." Lawyer Jin pointed at the asset investigation form. "Don't freeze my client's personal bank account, and don't confiscate his real estate. These properties belong to my client and have nothing to do with Dacheng Industries. "
In other words, even if Dacheng Industries went bankrupt, Zhang Baochen would only lose 5% of his shares.
Also, he hadn't actually invested a single cent in Dacheng Industries. The shares were given to him by Zhao Da.
If Dacheng Industries made money, he would receive dividends along with it. If it lost money, he would at most not receive any dividends. He wouldn't have any more responsibilities.
"Yes, Lawyer Jin is right." Zhao Da's lawyer also chimed in. He sneered at Gu Nianzhi. "This is the most basic company law. Miss Gu, don't tell me you don't know that? Have you graduated from university? Do you want to go back to school and study company law? "
"Yes, both of you are right. I agree with what you said about company law." Gu Nianzhi clapped her hands to express her approval.
Zhao Da's lawyer had never interacted with Gu Nianzhi before. He saw that the young female lawyer from the military had been led around by the nose with only a few words. She had no fighting spirit at all. He was even more disdainful of her.
Lawyer Jin had suffered at Gu Nianzhi's hands before, so he was more cautious.
He could hear the reservation in Gu Nianzhi's words. He thought about it for a while and asked, "Did I say something wrong? Or is the military planning to bully others and disregard the law to seize other people's assets? "
"Oh? Lawyer Jin, I haven't seen you in a few days and you've learned to accuse others! " Gu Nianzhi braced her hands on the edge of the table and straightened her back even more. "That's not good. We are lawyers. We need to use the language and logic of the law to speak. Don't imitate those who don't understand the law and only know how to spout nonsense. Every word a lawyer says must be backed up by evidence. "
"Did I say something wrong?" Lawyer Jin sneered. He was still brooding over his previous defeat at Gu Nianzhi's hands. He slammed the table and stood up. He threw the materials he had prepared in front of Gu Nianzhi and almost roared, "See for yourself! My client only owns 5% of the shares. He has nothing to do with the management of Dacheng Industries! He's only a shareholder! And a minor shareholder! He doesn't have to bear any responsibility for Dacheng Industries' debts outside of his shares! Do you understand?! "
Gu Nianzhi moved back to avoid Lawyer Jin's roar and stood up as well. "Are you done?"
"I'm done. Tell me what legal reasons you have for my client to bear responsibility for a limited liability company's debts outside of his shares! Remember, it has to be legal! Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you're from the military! Believe it or not, I can report you to the media! " Lawyer Jin happily explained his reasons and sat down. His mouth was dry and he hurriedly drank another glass of water.
"Ok, now it's my turn." Gu Nianzhi also took out the materials she had prepared and threw them on the table.
"Lawyer Jin, you're right. For a limited liability company, the shareholders don't have to bear any responsibility outside of their shares. If the company goes into liquidation, the shareholders will lose all their shares at most. There won't be any other losses."
"Isn't that obvious? Then what else is there to discuss? You can leave now! " Lawyer Jin laughed. "You repeated what I said. Do you want my client to sign?"
"Of course." Gu Nianzhi's voice turned cold. "Lawyer Jin, are you still so impatient? Can't you wait for me to finish? "
"You still have something to say? If you still want to repeat what I said, please don't waste my time. "Lawyer Jin was getting impatient." It's the Lunar New Year. Everyone is in a hurry. "
Gu Nianzhi raised her eyebrows. Her voice became even colder. "If you keep talking nonsense, I can go to the Lawyer's Association and sue you for lack of professional ethics."
Lawyer Jin finally shut his mouth, but his face was full of disdain and indifference, as if he was saying, "I knew you're a newbie with no skills."
Gu Nianzhi's eyes swept across everyone's faces in the conference room. She looked at Zhao Liangze, who had been silent but was looking at her worriedly.
She smiled at him reassuringly. She pulled out a red-marked report from the materials she had prepared. She looked up and began to show the evidence to Lawyer Jin and Zhao Liangze's lawyer.
"Dacheng Industries LLC. Its full name is Dacheng Industries LLC. According to company law, its company form is limited-liability-company. The English abbreviation is LLC.
"According to the company law's definition of an LLC, the number of shareholders of such a company cannot exceed 50. It cannot raise funds. Shareholders are limited to the amount of capital they have contributed. Therefore, under normal circumstances, if there is a problem with the company, the risk to the shareholders is limited to the amount they have invested. "
Lawyer Jin crossed his arms. His eyes were about to roll to the ceiling. He had a mocking expression that said, "I knew you were memorizing."
"But …" Gu Nianzhi changed the topic and glanced at Lawyer Jin again.
Lawyer Jin instantly froze.
He hated the word "but" the most!
F * ck! So annoying! What do you mean 'but'? Why don't you go to heaven?!
As soon as Gu Nianzhi finished her "but", she paused for a moment. Seeing Lawyer Jin and Zhao Da's lawyer's expressions change, she smiled and said, "Don't forget, there's also a system of denial of corporate personality in company law. It's called 'uncovering the company's veil.' In short, shareholders cannot hide under the banner of shareholders and do whatever they want. If a shareholder uses a limited liability company to commit illegal acts, there is no exemption for the shareholder if there is evidence.
In other words, when a shareholder uses an LLC to commit illegal acts, the shareholder not only has to bear the responsibility with their capital, but they also have to bear all the responsibility with their personal assets! "
This rule was also called "uncovering the legal person's veil."
Lawyer Jin's mind buzzed. His face turned purple again. He roared in his heart, "F * ck! How could I forget this exception?!
F * ck! Can't we talk properly and fight the lawsuit?! "
