Chapter 114 Professional
Pang Yishan smiled, with a hint of lust in his smile.
The uncovered mystery is actually not complicated. According to the normal time to register an offshore company, Zhou Liwen needs to control the local company by the offshore company, so from a procedural perspective, the registration procedures of the local company must be completed before the offshore company registration can be carried out.
But if this procedure is followed, the registration year for the company registered in the local area will start from January 2000 instead of December 1999. Although the date between the two is only one month or even half a month, according to Xiangjiang law, once a company needs to go public in the future, the registration year must be used as the registration condition for the review period. In this way, it is much more appropriate to place the registration date in 1999 than in 2000.
Having said that, if you want to complete local registration before the end of the year holiday, you must first complete offshore registration, which is impossible to avoid in any case. In this regard, Pang Yishan thought of an alternative method. Since there is not enough time to register an offshore company directly, you should complete the customer's entrustment by acquiring the existing offshore company and changing the procedures. This operation can not only save time, but also create favorable conditions for customers to register in the future.
It is not difficult to acquire existing offshore companies. As Pang Yishan and Zhou Liwen said before, there are many companies in Xiangjiang, and the companies have registered offshore companies, some of which are even empty zombie companies. The owners of these offshore companies are of little maintenance fees every year, and they are not useful for normal operations. Some companies even pay the offshore industry.

a1 has never been carried out since registration. Registration of offshore companies is just a tool for them to catch up with the trend and join in the fun. As a former lawyer, Pang Yishan was very careful in these matters. Through his business relationship, he quickly found several such zombie companies. He spent some money to acquire the offshore company shell in the other party.
Complete the acquisition and change the procedures, so that the two offshore companies will become Zhou Liwen. Moreover, judging from the initial registration date of the offshore company, it is more conducive to the registration of local companies, operating holdings and future listing filing. After processing these, Pang Yishan started to register the local company, so he completed Zhou Liwen's commission at such a fast speed.
"I am very sorry for this, because I did not seek your consent during the process, so I operated in this way." After saying that, Pang Yishan said with a little apology in his smile.
Zhou Liwen shook his head repeatedly and said disapprovingly: "No need to apologize, Lawyer Pang, you did a very good job, which was beyond my expectations. Your decision on this matter was correct. Not only did you complete my commission, but you also made comprehensive considerations for the future development of my company. Your professionalism is admirable. If you need to apologize, as the client, have I become an ungrateful person?"
"Thank you for your understanding. OK, now the commission given to me by Zhou Sheng has been completed. Next, I wish you a Merry Christmas, a Safe New Year, and a Great Achievement in the coming year."
Pang Yishan stood up and stretched out his hand to Zhou Liwen. Zhou Liwen also wished the other party a happy Christmas and New Year and shook hands. Logically, after they shook hands, they officially stated that the commission was over, and Zhou Liwen could also say goodbye, but after Zhou Liwen left, he did not say goodbye, but instead continued to sit down.
"Zhou Sheng..."
"Lawyer Pang, I am very satisfied with the professionalism you show in this commission, so I want to go to the next commission."
When he heard Zhou Liwen's words, Pang Yishan was surprised and showed a look of joy. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and said thank you, and then asked Zhou Liwen what another commission was.
"I would like to invite Lawyer Pang as my long-term legal counsel and be responsible for the legal affairs of the company under my name."
Pang Yishan was slightly stunned. He never expected Zhou Liwen to propose such a condition. As a former lawyer, he had been a legal counsel for some large companies before, but since his overseas investment went bankrupt, no company could hire him as legal counsel when he returned to Xiangjiang. But he never expected Zhou Liwen to make this request and didn't know what to say for a while.
Pang Yishan was not very happy about this invitation, because he handled the registration of Zhou Liwen's two offshore companies and a local company. To put it bluntly, these three companies are just an empty shell. Pang Yishan was able to accept Zhou Liwen's commission, but it does not mean that he would agree to Zhou Liwen's invitation. After all, a separate commission and becoming a long-term legal counsel are completely different. Anyway, Pang Yishan was once famous before. If a barrister like him is a senior, he would probably become a laughing stock in the legal circle of Xiangjiang if it spreads out.
In addition, even if Pang Yishan is in a down-and-out position, the employment fee for a legal counsel of a licensed lawyer is absolutely not low. Even if an ordinary new lawyer holds this position, the cost of at least 400,000 to 500,000 yuan per year from the law firm in Xiangjiang. Many years ago, the company that Pang Yishan used to serve as a long-term legal counsel gave him more than 3 million yuan per year, which does not include the cost of appearing in court. If it is added together, it may exceed 5 million yuan.
Even if Pang Yishanken gives the other party a half discount according to his current situation, it will cost 1.5 million yuan. The registration fees of Zhou Liwen's two offshore companies and local companies plus his attorney agency fee are only more than 300,000 yuan. According to this calculation, how could Zhou Liwen spend such a large amount of consulting fees to hire him?
"Zhou Sheng, I personally express my gratitude and honor for your invitation. However, for some reasons, I have not yet intended to serve as the company's legal consultant, so I am afraid that you will disappoint Zhou Sheng." Pang Yishan thought carefully and shook his head and said politely. Although he said it more tactfully, the meaning of rejection in the words was very clear.
Zhou Liwen smiled disapprovingly. He was mentally prepared for this answer when he invited him. He could even guess what Pang Yishan was thinking now, but he felt that his three companies had just been registered, and they were blank in terms of strength and funds, and they might not even be able to pay his consultant fees. Or, Pang Yishan was even wondering whether Zhou Liwen was so crazy. As a mainlander, he didn't understand the employment fee of legal counsel at all. He just thought that spending a small amount of money could make him, a former famous barrister, nod and agreed?
"Lawyer Pang, please don't refuse first. Can you listen to my conditions?" Zhou Liwen asked with a smile.
Out of politeness, Pang Yishan nodded, sat in the chair with his hands on his chest and prepared to wash his ears.
