Money moved people's hearts!
Will Jonggris's words sounded well-intentioned, but if Ye Xuan really set up the foundation's headquarters in the UK, with Gao Weishen's influence in the UK, it could be said that he was sending a sheep into a tiger's den. At that time, as long as he played some tricks, the foundation would be controlled by others.
With Ye Xuan's current strength, it was naturally impossible for him to be afraid of such a small fry, but there would always be some trouble. Although he was not afraid of trouble, he hated it.
It seemed that these so-called law firms were not as reliable as he had imagined. With enough benefits, they had begun to have some small ideas.
A man who was not satisfied was like a snake trying to swallow an elephant!
Looking at the seemingly meaningful smile on Ye Xuan's lips, the bright smile on Will Jonggris's face froze. Then, he smiled awkwardly and braced himself to say, "Mr. Ye, isn't Fiji a little far? Fiji's economy is not very good either. It's not good for the development of the foundation you set up. But our UK is different. Our UK economy is the top in the world, and we are one of the permanent members of the United Nations. We have veto power in the United Nations Security Council. It will be of great help to your foundation in dealing with international events."
"Oh?" Seeing that Will Jonggris did not give up, Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows. "If I set up the foundation's headquarters in the UK, can Mr. Will let me see Queen Elisabeth at any time?"
Uh! Hearing what Ye Xuan said, Will Jonggris could not help but swallow. See Her Majesty at any time? You really dare to think about it. Even their chairman did not have such a right. They did not even have a title. They only had the skin of a lawyer.
"We will try our best to facilitate your meeting with Queen Elisabeth. If necessary, we will also apply for the Queen to award you!" In the end, Will Jonggris even painted a picture for Ye Xuan. Of course, he did not know when this picture would be realized.
How could Ye Xuan not know what Will Jonggris was planning? He smiled faintly. "No need. Mr. Will, I think the environment of Fiji is more suitable for my foundation. After all, my foundation is not a business, but a charity. The UK's economy is one of the top in the world. How can there be a place for my foundation to shine? I went to Fiji a while ago and found that Fiji's economy isn't doing well. Their Prime Minister, Mr. Ma Qiaoli Catlin Di Chengyife, is quite welcoming of my investment. The cooperation between the two sides is quite harmonious. "
Seeing that Ye Xuan had already made up his mind, Will Jonggris could not continue trying to persuade him. Moreover, he was also afraid that Ye Xuan would see through his intentions and cause him to lose this God of Fortune. He immediately forced a smile and said, "Since you have already considered it, then I won't say anymore."
"Hehe, I still have to thank Mr. Will for his advice. Otherwise, we would still be struggling to come up with a solution!" Ye Xuan smiled faintly.
"It's nothing. We're friends. It's what I should do!" Will Jonggris said shamelessly.
Hearing Will Jonggris's shameless words, Ye Xuan only nodded and smiled faintly. Then, he turned to Guo Hongxin and asked, "Mr. Guo. Do you know what procedures are needed to set up an international charity foundation? "
Guo Hongxin was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that Ye Xuan would still ask him this when he had already decided to set up the headquarters elsewhere. Zhang Ye asked, "Mr. Ye, if you want to set up this international charity foundation, first …"
Then, Guo Hongxin roughly told Ye Xuan the requirements for setting up an international charity foundation. Although Ye Xuan had not disclosed that he wanted to set up a charity foundation in advance, Guo Hongxin was indeed a top-notch lawyer. He could recite international law and Chinese law as soon as he opened his mouth. It took him almost two hours to recite them.
"That's about it. Mr. Ye, I can't explain the details now. If you need it, then I will submit a written copy for you to look at. "Guo Hongxin took a sip of tea and moistened his dry mouth. He then said to Ye Xuan, "Alright, then I'll trouble you, Mr. Guo. Thank you!"
"Alright then. Thank you, Mr. Guo!" Ye Xuan said to Guo Hongxin with a smile.
"You're welcome, Mr. Ye!" Guo Hongxin said politely.
"Alright, I'm sorry to have taken up so much of your time. I wonder if you two are free. How about we have lunch together?" Ye Xuan smiled at the two after they finished talking about business.
"Oh, I'm really sorry, Ye. Although I also want to have lunch with you, I still have some things to deal with in my office. But Guo just came to Korea, and you guys are from the same hometown, so there must be a lot to talk about. I wish you a pleasant lunch. "Will Jonggris stood up and said.
"That's a pity!" Ye Xuan stood up and smiled faintly. "Mr. Will, don't worry. Although I haven't been in Korea for long, I will definitely treat Mr. Guo well."
"Alright, Guo, I wish you a pleasant trip to Korea. If there's anything, you can call me!"
"Okay, Will, let's have a drink in the future!"
"No problem!"
After the two of them sent Will Jonggris away, Guo Hongxin suddenly said to Ye Xuan, "Mr. Ye, I'm really sorry for what happened just now. You know my position …"
"I understand. Mr. Guo, you don't have to worry about it!" Ye Xuan knew that Guo Hongxin was referring to the fact that he didn't remind him about Will Jonggris's intentions towards him. However, Ye Xuan didn't mind. They had only met for the first time. The fact that Guo Hongxin didn't speak up for Will Jonggris just because he was a colleague had already made Ye Xuan have a good impression of him. After all, if he helped you, it was a favor. If he didn't help you, it would be his duty.
What's more, he didn't expect Guo Hongxin to apologize for this matter. It made him look at this elegant middle-aged man in a new light.
At noon, Ye Xuan naturally couldn't let Guo Hongxin eat in the teahouse. Although Guo Hongxin had always expressed interest in the tea and snacks in the teahouse, Ye Xuan still took him to the Shangri-La Hotel twenty kilometers away. They ordered two Australian steaks, one lobster from Boston, two French foie gras, and two cups of Nouack coffee. Although the amount was small, it cost more than two thousand dollars.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Ye. The lunch was great!" Guo Hongxin took a sip of the Nouack coffee, which cost a hundred dollars, and thanked Ye Xuan with a smile.
"As long as Mr. Guo likes it!" Ye Xuan smiled slightly and also took a sip of coffee. Then he suddenly said, "Pardon me for asking, but Mr. Guo and Goldman Sachs should be in a cooperative relationship, right?"
Faced with Ye Xuan's sudden question, Guo Hongxin was stunned for a moment. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant, but he smiled and said, "Yes, Goldman Sachs is one of the top ten law firms in the world. To be honest, when I first cooperated with them, I also had the thought of leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade. Mr. Ye, you may not know this, but there are law firms everywhere in China now. Because of the national conditions, lawyers in China are not as popular as in foreign countries. Every year, many lawyers lose their jobs.
"Mr. Guo, you also know that I recently wanted to set up an international charity, but this kind of organization always needs legal counsel. So I wonder if Mr. Guo is interested in withdrawing from the cooperation with Goldman Sachs to help me? Of course, I won't mistreat you, Mr. Guo. An annual salary of eight million Chinese dollars. If Mr. Guo's team comes with you, the annual salary will be two hundred thousand Chinese dollars for interns, one million Chinese dollars for level three lawyers, three million Chinese dollars for level two lawyers, and five million Chinese dollars for level one lawyers. At the same time, I will also give the law firm ten million Chinese dollars every year as working capital. "Ye Xuan looked at Guo Hongxin and said.
Hearing Ye Xuan's offer, Guo Hongxin was stunned again. He did not expect Ye Xuan to start poaching people just like that, and in such a straightforward manner.
To be honest, an annual salary of eight million Chinese dollars was not attractive to him at all. After all, he was now Goldman Sachs's partner in the Imperial Capital of China. When he was young, he had five to six million Chinese dollars, and when he was older, he could even make tens of millions of Chinese dollars. However, he did not directly reject the offer because his relationship with Goldman Sachs was not as harmonious as he imagined it to be. Although he had initially cooperated with Gao Weishen because he wanted to rely on a big tree to enjoy the shade, the bigger the tree, the more nourishment it needed. Especially in recent years, Gao Weishen's headquarters had been secretly suppressing the Chinese branches. If it were not for the team under him, he would not have been able to take it anymore.
Although the price Ye Xuan offered was not high, it was stable. Moreover, Ye Xuan also said that he was looking for them to provide services for the charity organization. This made things easier, and the price he offered was reasonable.
Most importantly, although they had left the big tree that was Gao Weishen, they could use the charity to expand their influence, and eventually, they could even go international!
"Thank you, Mr. Ye, for thinking so highly of me. However, this matter is quite important, and I can't make the decision alone. I need to go back and discuss it with my partners!"
Hearing Guo Hongxin's answer, the corner of Ye Xuan's mouth raised into a smile. It seemed that his poaching operation this time was successful. Perhaps soon, he would have a team of high-level lawyers under him.
