The space in the chess hall is very large, divided into separate half-compartments. You can see many people playing chess. It is extremely quiet inside, and there is basically no other sound except the sound of falling pieces.
Hao Ren looked around casually and found that there were not only adults, but also some very young children, who looked to be in their teens.
"Hello, sir, are you on your own or do you have an appointment?"
At the door, a woman asked softly.
"I'm looking for Duan Hong."
Hao Ren smiled and said that the person Xiao Hongyu introduced to him was named Duan Hong.
"It turns out to be Mr. Duan's friend. He is in compartment 17."
Hearing this, the woman pointed to a cubicle not far away and said with a smile.
Hao Ren smiled and nodded, then strode over.
Xu Sheng also came in immediately, and pointed at Hao Ren before the other party could say anything, "We are together, by the way, beauty, please pour us a glass of water. This is the tea fee, thank you."
Xu Sheng took out two hundred-dollar bills and placed them on the counter.
Before the other party could react, Xu Sheng immediately followed Hao Ren to the compartment.
In cubicle No. 17, a man with a smile on his face was playing chess with a little boy who was thirteen or fourteen years old.
The two men were fighting inextricably. Hao Ren took a quick look. Although he didn't understand Go, he still understood some basic rules. The man did not have the upper hand, and every move he made was ordinary.
On the contrary, his opponent, a primary school student, charged extremely fiercely, with an attitude of dragging the enemy to death together.
Hao Ren narrowed his eyes and glanced at the man again, confirming that it was the man Xiao Hongyu introduced to him.
Xu Sheng also came over, glanced at the other party curiously, and then saw the chessboard on the table, with some surprise in his eyes, "Brother Hao, is this the talent you are looking for? Can't even beat a primary school student?"
In addition to surprise, there was also some disdain in his tone.
When he thought about it, since it was something Hao Ren valued, he must have two skills. He was a master, but it was a bit unreasonable to be beaten by a primary school student while playing Go.
"No, I lost. Your attack was too fierce. I was almost killed by you..."
Suddenly, the man smiled bitterly, put the chess pieces in his hand back into the chess box, and said helplessly.
"Hehe, now you know how powerful my eight-eyed little chess king is."
The primary school student opposite smiled somewhat proudly, crossing his arms with great pride.
"However, it's not like you haven't made progress, Uncle Duan. At least you lasted one minute longer than last time. That's good. You've made some progress. Keep working hard next time."
The little doll looked at the man with a cowardly expression, which made both Hao Ren and Xu Sheng look strange. This was not the first time their feelings had been abused.
"You also came here to play chess with Uncle Duan? That's right, in the Eight-eye Chess Hall, who doesn't know that Uncle Duan is the worst at chess?"
The little boy looked up at Hao Ren and Xu Sheng and asked curiously.
"Ahem, Xiaofeng, they are my guests and they came to me specifically. You should go home first. I will play chess with you another day."
The man coughed dryly and said helplessly.
Hearing this, the little boy said "Oh", then greeted Hao Ren and the others and left politely.
Hao Ren sat opposite the man, and Xu Sheng sat next to him.
"Mr. Hao, right? Nice to meet you."
The man smiled and stretched out a hand, "I don't think I need to introduce my name. Xiao Hongyu should have told you."
"Duan Hong, the most outstanding student at Oxford University Law School, once worked for Baker & McKenzie International Law Firm. He has fought many cases that shocked domestic and foreign countries. He has never failed in nine years of practice and has an annual income of more than 10 million..."
Hao Ren also stretched out a hand to shake the opponent's hand and said with a smile.
When Xu Sheng heard this, his eyes suddenly widened and he looked at the other party in shock. He did not expect that the man in front of him who was tortured by a primary school student and could not find any answers actually worked for one of the top lawyers in the world.
There is no need for any modification. This qualification alone is enough for him to work in any top law firm in the country and become a senior partner.
However, what he was curious about was how could such a guy return to the country?
10 million per year, that must be US dollars. In other words, a person can earn more than 60 million in one year, and after working for two years, he can have assets worth hundreds of millions.
Which domestic company can offer such a high price?
Their annual income is enough to exceed the annual profits of many small and medium-sized companies.
"It seems that Mr. Hao has done some research on me and has done a good job in preparation."
Duan Hong chuckled lightly, raised his eyebrows and looked at Hao Ren, "Do you know how to play Go? How about a game?"
Hao Ren looked at the other party with a solemn expression and said in a deep voice, "A little bit familiar."
He didn't believe that an elite in the legal field could be tortured like that by a primary school student while playing chess.
In his opinion, this is hiding clumsiness. He is just playing with the primary school students to coax them.
Just like the sweeping monk in Jin Yong's world, he doesn't look very good, but in terms of strength, even ten Qiao Feng would have to kneel down.
Therefore, Hao Ren was already prepared to be embarrassed.
However, as it started, Hao Ren's expression became weirder and weirder, and they were inextricably killed...
Xu Sheng was dumbfounded, Hao Ren's method, bah, there is no method, even a beginner, or a beginner who just knows the rules.
Just like in chess, the knight moves the sun, and the elephant moves the field. Hao Ren follows this standard, and so does Duan Hong on the opposite side.
The two of them fought desperately, but their efforts became less and less.
Duan Hong's eyes are getting brighter and brighter, and he is full of interest.
Xu Sheng suddenly understood that Duan Hong was not hiding his clumsiness, but that he really didn't know how to do it.
Hao Ren obviously understood this truth and smiled bitterly in his heart. He thought that someone who only knew how to box was a peerless master.
"I have heard of Mr. Hao's name. The newly emerging genius entrepreneurs in China have built a huge business from scratch in less than two years and are worth billions without any capital.
interference..."
While rushing to kill, Duan Hong also smiled and praised.
"It's not surprising that he is worth so much. There are many people in the world who are worth more than Mr. Hao, but they are completely independent. This is a miracle."
It is basically impossible for a mature group company to fully control it without the interference of any other capital, unless it is a state-owned enterprise.
Otherwise, look at the top domestic companies, which one is not dominated by capital and competing with each other.
"I'm very curious. Mr. Duan, you are doing well abroad and have a bright future. Why do you think of returning to China to develop?"
Hao Ren did not answer, but asked curiously.
Hearing this, Duan Hong smiled, dropped the chess piece in his hand, and said, "It's not a secret. I'm not happy with it."
"Um?"
Hao Ren was a little confused.
"Although I make a lot of money, I see those rich people trampling on the law casually and doing whatever they want as long as they have money. I feel like I am gradually degenerating..."
"I have fought a lawsuit before. The president of a company was speeding and hit a family of three crossing the road, killing two and injuring two. They came to our company. I was the president's defense lawyer. They paid as much as
Ten million."
"I won't tell you about the subsequent lawsuit, but you can probably guess it. I won, and the other party not only lost the lawsuit, but also compensated for the cost of the lawsuit of 300,000 yuan. Of course, my employer was very generous and paid the money
, and gave the other party a humanitarian compensation of 100,000 yuan..."
"Yes, that's right, it's humane compensation. I still can't forget the way the only survivor looked at me..."
Hao Ren and Xu Sheng both listened to each other's story with serious expressions and did not interrupt.
After Duan Hong finished speaking, he looked at them with a smile and said, "Tell me, am I being particularly pretentious and want to build a chastity arch after becoming a bitch?"
"I didn't expect that the tough lawyer also has such an emotional side."
Hearing this, Hao Ren suddenly said with emotion, "However, I don't think this is pretentious. Your choice shows that you are still a human being, or at least want to be a human being."
He did not comfort the other party, he spoke very straightforwardly.
"However, it's not like a bitch can't be a good person. As long as she has the will, she can come ashore at any time."
The corner of Xu Sheng's mouth twitched, "Brother, are you trying to comfort someone? If he had heard this, only one of them would be able to step out today."
However, Duan Hong chuckled and said with interest, "You are the first person to say this to me. People from Junhe came to me before and said a lot of nice things to me.
To say that I am a shining sun in the legal world is not a stain, but a record and an honor..."
Junhe, one of the top law firms in China.
Hao Ren's heart sank.
"That's right, Brother Duan, don't listen to Brother Hao's nonsense. He just drank too much. For an elite in the legal field like Brother Duan, everything is naturally based on winning the lawsuit. This is also a symbol of Brother Duan's strength...
…”
Xu Sheng said with an apologetic smile.
"I didn't drink, and I didn't talk nonsense. In my opinion, you are indeed a scumbag. If it weren't for your business ability, I probably wouldn't be sitting here now."
Hao Ren said calmly.
My brother, please stop talking.
Xu Sheng's face turned green.
This is how you recruit talent.
Xu Sheng felt that Hao Ren's emotional intelligence suddenly dropped.
"Kill."
As Hao Ren said that, the white stones in his hand fell, and the black stones on the chessboard had no chance of survival.
Duan Hong's expression was always calm, even when Hao Ren called him a scumbag.
Seeing that he had lost, Duan Hongcai sighed helplessly, dropped the chess pieces, looked at Hao Ren, and asked softly, "Do you know why this chess hall is called the Eight-Europe Chess Hall?"
When Hao Ren heard this, he frowned and shook his head.
"Didn't it be said in "The Great Learning" that one should study things, seek knowledge, be sincere, correct one's mind, cultivate one's character, manage one's family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world?"
"This is the ultimate state of human beings. I am a student of Fa. I should have worked hard for this goal, but unfortunately, I have lost myself..."
"The law is supposed to serve people, not the rich. I understand this truth now."
Listening to Duan Hong's words, Hao Ren sighed in his heart.
Duan Hong has turned around, why does he sound like he wants to become a monk?
Maybe I can change my name in the future and call myself Master Duan, learn the Yiyang finger and change my name to Yideng, and later become the Five Ultimate Masters of the Central Plains...
Hao Ren was thinking wildly in his mind.
Soon, Duan Hong finished his emotion and looked at Hao Ren, "I know your company and you want to hire me as a legal counsel. Jun He will give me an annual salary of 10 million, plus a 5% dividend. How much can you give me?"
?”
"What you want is not money. If you go to Junhe's place, you will at best change your environment. In the final analysis, there is essentially no difference."
Hao Ren curled his lips and said calmly.
These top law firms are all impersonal.
If Duan Hong goes away, he will just become a ruthless machine.
"If you come to my company, I will give you the position of legal department manager, and your salary will be the same as that of the financial director, with an annual salary of three million and a bonus at the end of the year."
Hao Ren looked at the other party and said flatly, "However, one advantage is that you, the Legal Department, are fully responsible. In the future, you will be responsible for coordinating our external lawsuits. If we are wrong, you have the right to reject my decision and even demand
The company apologizes."
"I won't ask you to do anything against your will."
