231: Chapter 231: eting with Marlon Shepherd 231: Chapter 231: eting with Marlon Shepherd Four days later, in the capital city, the Carving Ti Cafe near the Workers’ Stadium.
Marlon Shepherd had just received a call from Yusuf Zuck.
Yusuf claid he wanted to et to talk, just the two of them, without Collins Brown, and without hesitation, Marlon suggested this cafe and asked Yusuf to co over on his own.
Marlon Shepherd was a registered lawyer at the ‘Ren Tiejun Law Firm’ in the capital.
As is well known, many law firms are nad after their founders, and a registered law firm requires at least two people.
Marlon was registered at Ren Tiejun Law Firm.
Of course, being registered there rely ant having an office space.
As for taking on cases, one could either wait for clients to co knocking or take on cases through various connections.
If a lawyer wants to make money, they need to take on cases or serve as a legal advisor for a company.
Marlon was now the type who was too proud to stoop but not noble enough to climb.
How to put it, his family background was not bad, but he belonged to the ordinary waged class in the capital.
To start an independent law firm in the capital required two things, fa and money.
Without money, one couldn’t even afford the rent.
Over the years, Marlon had managed to save so personal funds through his efforts and with his parents’ help.
Thus, his marriage ho was newly bought, fully paid, and he even had his own car.
However, the wedding hadn’t even happened yet, and he was already stretched thin financially due to large expenses.
Trips abroad, wedding photography, preparing essential wedding items, booking hotel banquets, and so on had left his bank account under ten thousand just a few days ago.
Luckily, Yusuf returned, and the ten thousand US Dollars Yusuf gambled with was Marlon’s money.
With that, Yusuf managed to turn it into a profit of four million for him!
Four million US Dollars, which, when converted to RMB, amounted to twenty-five or twenty-six million.
With this money, Marlon straightened his back instantly.
He planned to get a new car and rent a space to start his law firm.
The wedding budget which was originally standard was now updated to a high standard.
Besides, there was still over sixty million with Collins Brown.
Yusuf hadn’t clearly designated whom the money was for, and although it remained untouched, it would surely belong to him and his wife sooner or later, right?
That’s why these past few days, Marlon had been considering going big.
Yusuf had made the call, and Marlon thought Yusuf was inquiring about financial advisory services, so he readily agreed.
“Sorry for the delay, sorry for the delay, the roads were so congested.
Next ti I’ll choose the subway first!” Yusuf arrived at the cafe, dusty and disheveled.
In fact, he had returned earlier in the morning, dealt with a pile of matters, and even looked over three investigative reports from Samuel Ross before arranging the eting with Marlon.
In the reports, this Marlon was a talent.
At twenty-five, a few years after graduation, he had bought a house and a car, thanks to his investnt acun.
The man made a tidy sum from trading stocks and funds; otherwise, how much could he earn by handling a few minor lawsuits and serving as a do-nothing legal consultant?
“No rush, that’s just how it is in the capital, traffic jams everywhere!” Marlon said, while signaling the waiter to bring Yusuf a cup of coffee.
“Marlon, the reason I wanted to et with you today is actually that I have so ideas I’d like to discuss with you,” Yusuf said as he settled down, getting straight to the point.
Marlon was worth using.
Although he was neither a financial investnt tycoon nor a major player in the financial market, under the current circumstances, only Marlon had earned his trust.
Hence, even if he was offered financial giants, he wouldn’t replace Marlon.
“Regarding financial investnt, I can indeed help you.
After all, I’m an insider, while you’re completely a layman!” Marlon Shepherd said with a smile.
“It’s not like that,” Yusuf Zuck shook his head, “I plan to establish a financial investnt company, sothing like…
‘Pri Trust Capital’ or ‘Sequoia Capital,’ and you will be the chief investnt adviser of this investnt firm.” The Pri Trust Capital that Yusuf Zuck ntioned was a very well-known dostic fund platform.
People from different sources fund the company, they trust Pri Trust Capital with their money to invest in the dostic capital market.
And this was what Yusuf Zuck intended to do, to turn his own money into industrial capital.
“, in charge?” Marlon Shepherd was taken aback.
He originally thought Yusuf Zuck was just consulting him, but in the end, he was being asked to take the role.
As for Pri Trust Capital, he knew it better than Yusuf Zuck did.
“Yes,” Yusuf Zuck smiled, “You will be responsible for recruiting people for , taking care of so related legal procedures, and then I will give you so funds to operate.
How about it?”
“I can’t do it!” Marlon Shepherd imdiately refused, “If it were my own money, I would dare to do anything.
If it’s within a few million, I would dare to invest in anything.
But you’re probably giving a few billion or even tens of billions, right?
That’s too much money, I dare not!”
“There’s nothing to dare or not dare.
I will first give you two billion in funds, and then I won’t bother you.
You go and invest, and we’ll see the results after a year.
If we lose money by then, I will accept it willingly and will not bla you.
If we make a profit, then I will continue to add more tomorrow.
How’s that?”
“I get it, you want to create a private investnt consulting team to spend money for you!” Marlon Shepherd said with a wry smile.
“Right, that’s exactly what I an.
If it’s not necessary to register a company, we don’t even need to register one.
When the ti cos, you just manage the investnt, and I will handle the paynts,” Yusuf Zuck elaborated.
“You trust that much?” Marlon Shepherd asked, puzzled.
After thinking for a mont, Yusuf Zuck slowly said, “Skyscrapers aren’t built in a day; they need to be constructed brick by brick.
Those real investnt tycoons probably started with short-term investnts, from a small amount of capital, right?”
“So don’t feel any psychological burden.
You know , it’s very easy for to make money.
So losing two billion in a year isn’t a big deal.
As for trusting you, that’s my own issue.
But I still trust my own judgnt more.
I hope we can work together for a win-win situation!”
“Actually, to say sothing you might not like to hear, I’m just using two billion to test the waters with you, to test you and also to test my own judgnt.
If you succeed, then I win.
If not, we’ll consider it a failure, but we’ll still be friends!”
“I’ll think about it,” Marlon Shepherd replied.
“No need to think about it,” Yusuf Zuck waved his hand, “Regarding your annual salary, here’s my thought: if we make a profit after one year, I’ll give you ten percent of the profit.
Don’t underestimate that ten percent.
You should know this is only my first year of investnt; I will add more later.”
“I understand this better than you do, ha ha.
If we don’t make a profit, I don’t want anything.
Just don’t bla , and we can still be friends,” Marlon Shepherd laughed.
“Okay, let’s do it your way!” Yusuf Zuck nodded.
“Hmm, the legal person to register the company is you, right?
And we need at least two shareholders to register.
You need to choose those people carefully.
Also, what you’re talking about with investing isn’t as simple as you think.
It requires a series of procedures, including financial assessnt of the investnt target, market assessnt, and so on.
And you must confirm and sign before deciding to invest.
Only with your confirmation will the money go in; that’s also the final step,” Marlon Shepherd explained.
“Also, I can’t do this alone, so I will need to hire so industry experts.
So might require high salaries, so prepare yourself.
Essentially, this investnt company will beco your private financial consulting team in the future.
The money you earn, we will be responsible for spending it, making your money work for you!”
