Chen Chen woke up in the morning and went out to look at the room after washing up. After walking out of the hotel, he found that the people around him looked at him strangely. When a man holding the newspaper recognized himself by comparing it with the newspaper, Chen Chen finally knew that it was him.
What's going on?
But his first reaction after seeing the newspaper was "Not bad, I look very handsome in the photo." Then he no longer cared about it. It didn't matter that William and the others were princes, and it didn't matter that Vincent was an earl. It didn't matter to him.
It has nothing to do with it.
It was not a problem to see so many people watching. He stood on the roadside and waved to call a car. After getting in the car, he asked, "Hello sir, do you know who is in charge of real estate matters?"
The taxi driver looked back at him and said, "Sir, do you want to buy a house or inherit an inheritance? If you want to buy a house, unless you are a British national, the cost of buying a house will be much higher than the house itself."
Chen Chen thought for a moment and said, "It should be considered a legacy. I'm not sure."
When the driver heard that it was an inheritance, he said, "Oh my god, if your inheritance is real estate, you will need to pay a large amount of inheritance tax. It will be calculated based on the size of your real estate. Are you sure you want to inherit it? You must know that many people have
inheritance tax and giving up the inheritance.”
After hearing this, Chen Chen expressed his understanding and said, "So you know who to look for, can you take me there?"
After hearing this, the driver said, "Of course, the best thing is to find a lawyer. I know a law firm that can introduce it to you."
Chen Chen nodded, "Let's go then, I'm in a hurry."
"Okay, sir, you'll be here soon." After saying this, he seemed very excited. The car drove quickly on the road. The further he walked, the more unreliable Chen Chen felt.
"Sir, this is it. Don't look at it as a shabby place. In fact, the lawyers there are very capable, but they are too principled. So you know that big law firms nowadays don't like principled lawyers very much, especially just now.
The kind that graduates." The driver looked outside and said with a somewhat embarrassed expression on his face. It seemed that he had just started soliciting customers here.
Chen Chen looked at the dilapidated streets and facades. The sign above said Damon Law Firm, but the sign was about to fall down, and the small alleys here were also occupied by a few gangsters, who were sneaking around at the door.
Look at Chen Chen and the others.
I secretly sighed in my heart, forget it, now that I'm here, just take a look, if it doesn't work, just change it.
Looking at the driver Chen Chen, he said, "Are they your relatives or friends inside?"
The driver's face turned even redder when he saw Chen Chen. It was obvious that this middle-aged man was an honest man and rarely did such deceptive things.
The driver hesitated and said, "You have guessed it. Yes, that one is my son. Don't mind. I don't charge you for the ride. I will take you there for free wherever you want to go. As long as you can
Give my son a chance."
Seemingly seeing that Chen Chen was still hesitating, the driver said, "Sir, I don't need you to agree to anything now. I just hope that you can let my son have a try in front of you. If you think it's okay, then leave it to him. Okay."
?”
After saying this, the drivers were silent and looked at Chen Chen with pleading eyes. Chen Chen sighed. He knew that the man in front of him just wanted to give his son a chance. All fathers in the world were equally good. They just wanted to help him.
children, even though sometimes the children don’t appreciate it.
Chen Chen looked at the dilapidated office, "Okay, I'll go in and take a look. If he doesn't have the strength, I won't hand over my affairs to him. Do you understand? By the way, won't you go in with me?"
?”
The driver was very happy when he heard that Chen Chen agreed to go in for a look, but when he heard that Chen Chen invited him to go in with him, he said helplessly, "I won't go in. He doesn't want me to come to his place. I'll just wait for you in the car."
Chen Chen shrugged and said it didn't matter, and then walked in. It was so tight that he found that the space inside was not big, only about 100 square meters, but it was enough for an independent office. There was a young man behind the desk inside.
I'm on the phone constantly.
"Hey! Is this Joker Company? Didn't you say you wanted legal aid last time? Who am I? I'm Damon, hello, are you still there? Shet"
"Hello, beauty, what do you think of what I told you last time? Yes, it's the custody matter you mentioned. No, no, listen to me. I'm no worse than those big lawyers, and my fees are very cheap.
What, you have already found a big lawyer, okay, I wish you success."
Damon put down the phone and slumped down on the chair like a deflated balloon, muttering, "Why, I just need a chance, why don't you guys give it to me."
"KouKou, opportunities are not given by others, but taken by yourself. Can I come in?" Chen Chen stood at the door and knocked on the open door.
When Damon saw someone coming, he quickly sat up straight. You must know that except when the landlord collects rent, even the mice don't want to come here at other times. Damon looked at the person and said, "Come in, please."
Hello, this is Damon Law Firm, please take a seat. What do you have..."
Chen Chen quickly interrupted him. Although it was very rude, he had no time to listen to his nonsense. "I can give you a chance to see if you can help me do this. If you can do it, I can ask you to do it."
Be my personal lawyer, of course, provided you can do it."
"Of course sir, as long as it's related to the law, whether it's financial disputes, inheritance, or legal proceedings, it's no problem." Damon answered quickly, the opportunity had come, and he was about to turn around.
"It's inheritance, but I only have the land deed and no will. Of course, I'm not British yet, but I think you can help me solve this." Chen Chen explained his situation.
Damon frowned when he heard that this was the case, but he still replied, "As long as the land deed is fine, as long as you have the money to pay the inheritance tax, it's a bit difficult to deal with if you're not British."
"As for the nationality issue, you helped me handle it. I think if I become a British citizen, it will be no problem, right?" Chen Chen answered easily. Nationality is not difficult, as long as you have money.
"That's no problem. When do you want me to handle it for you?" Damon seemed impatient.
"Do you have time now? How about now?" Chen Chen replied, the sooner you can get the manor, the better, so you can rest assured.
"No problem, I'm always available." Damon replied immediately. Maybe I won't have to come back here after today. His eyes were full of disgust when he looked at the lower room where he had stayed for several years.
He didn't like the environment here at all, but he couldn't compromise his principles with those big law firms, so he finally had to stay here. He believed that lawyers should have a bottom line instead of having no bottom line just for money.
Although his bottom line has been set very low now, it is more noble than nothing.
Damon, who came out with Chen Chen, saw the taxi outside the door, and his face turned a little ugly. When he got outside, Damon yelled at the driver, "Who asked you to come here? I don't need you to come here to see me.
I don't need your pity."
Chen Chen looked at the emotional Damon and the embarrassed driver who didn't know what was wrong, and finally came to the driver's rescue.
"He is my driver. He said that there is a lawyer here who is great and very principled, so I came. But it seems that this lawyer's character is not perfect. At least he should understand the people who help him find opportunities.
Gratitude, do you know? He always thinks that you are his pride, but what did you give him? You yelled at him, and you still go to work with me now?" Chen Chen doesn't like people who dare to yell at his father, no matter what
Whether your parents are right or wrong, as long as their original intention is for your own good, you shouldn’t yell at them (personal opinion, feel free to yell at them if you don’t like it)
Damon's face turned red and white, but he finally got into his father's car. Damon's father was very happy. This was the first time that his son took the initiative to get into his car after graduation. "Sir, where are you going?"
"Well, you have to ask Damon. He knows, but I don't know. By the way, what is your name? How about you come to be my driver? I still need a driver." Chen Chen said leisurely.
"Private driver? Of course I do, my name is David. Okay, Damon tell me where to go?" David looked at his son, not knowing how to communicate with him.
"Go to the city hall" is a very short sentence. In fact, Damon doesn't know how to communicate with his father.
After arriving at the city hall, Damon took Chen Chen to find the department that manages inheritance matters. After showing his lawyer's card, he met with the department manager.
"Hello, I am a judge of the High Court in London. I heard that you have property inheritance matters to deal with." It was an old man in his sixties who came.
Damon stood up and saluted the old man and said, "Hello, Mr. Judge, my client has a land deed that needs to be inherited, but he does not have a will. We don't know what to do in this situation, so we are here to ask for advice."
"Oh! Can you come and see the land deed?" the judge said to Damon, and Damon looked at Chen Chen.
When Chen Chen asked to see the land deed, he said "no problem" and took the land deed out of his backpack.
"Oh~ It's actually a land deed from the Middle Ages. This is rare. You have to know that it's difficult to inherit such a land title even if the place is still there. Let me see where it is, and it turns out to be here. Young man, you are very lucky.
Lake Vernoy Manor is located in Powys County, Wells, with an area twice the size of Manhattan, New York, USA. The manor has been publicly sold by the authorities. The transaction price at the time was 11 million pounds, but no one took the photo. It is still under the jurisdiction of the government. This
The manor is huge, are you prepared to pay a high inheritance tax?" The old judge seemed to have a good impression of Chen Chen and said to Chen Chen very kindly.
Chen Chen almost jumped up with excitement when he heard that he could really inherit it. "Is it really possible to inherit it? Hasn't it been auctioned by the government? Although it was not sold, it was taken over by the government. Can I still get it back?"
"Of course, kid, you have this land deed. As long as you pay enough inheritance tax, you can get your manor back. The estimated value of this manor is eleven million pounds, so you have to pay 40% of the tax."
It’s four hundred and forty thousand pounds. Oh my god, kid, it’s so expensive. With this money, you can buy a better land instead of inheriting it.” The old judge calculated it and felt that it was not a good deal.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Judge, I remember the inheritance tax rate should be 15%, why is it 40%?" Damon quickly spoke out. He didn't expect that Chen Chen would inherit such a large area. If
If you successfully become his personal legal advisor, how much money will you have per year? You can quickly fight for the benefits your client deserves and deepen your role.
