Chapter 457: Irene's Ambition
In the first week of the show's broadcast, Hong Tao's mobile phone could almost only be plugged into the charger to work, one phone call after another, and not only consulted about African hunting issues, but also consulted various visa issues, safety issues, cost issues, legal issues, etc., which simply regarded Hong Tao as a travel agency. What makes Hong Tao unbearable the most is that someone actually called to scold him, you said that let's fight on the Internet, right, where can I really get on fire and plan to PK in real people!
Hong Tao really can't cope with it now, he really doesn't know how to deal with many questions, but those who ask are called one by one, Teacher Hong, Teacher Hong, and Hong Tao is embarrassed to refuse completely, so he has to call Ye Rong, Pan and even Erin for help, a month of international calls cost thousands, did not make Hong Tao feel distressed to death, we have never been so extravagant!
When others heard about Hong Tao's ordeal, their reactions were completely different. Boss Liu and Fat Boss have been discharged from the hospital a long time ago, and their complaints to Hong Tao are just two words: they deserve it! Concise.
When Ye Rong heard that the show cut all his shots, he immediately complained about why Hong Tao didn't discuss with him in advance, he didn't care at all about his appearance on the TV show, which not only would not bring him losses, but also help him become a well-known hunting guide. As for Hong Tao's current miserable situation, he didn't say a word.
Pan not only sympathized with Hong Tao's experience, but almost scolded, in her opinion, Hong Tao is a second fool, why didn't she make a correct judgment in advance when she had such a good opportunity, and wasted this opportunity to make him a celebrity and a rich man. However, she still misses the old feelings, and gave Hong Tao a way to make up for it: establish a personal website. Use your popularity in this circle in exchange for clicks, and then fight for financing and so on.
Hong Tao only heard the step of establishing a personal website, and all the back ears went in and out of the left ear, and Nima financed! Do you want to go public? Pan is good anywhere, he is a belly of capital, and three sentences are inseparable from business.
The most intimate is Erin, who neither fell into the well, nor stood idly by, let alone complained, and answered the various questions raised by Hong Tao seriously. Never perfunctory. Through this one thing. Hong Tao personally realized who was a relative and who was an outsider.
In addition to taking advantage of her work in a law firm, Erin helped Hong Tao solve many questions about the procedures for going abroad, the contact information of foreign hunting companies, the payment method and the reputation, and also gave Hong Tao a suggestion: to set up a hunting and fishing company in China.
In fact, Erin's suggestion is similar to Panti's method, but Erin said it more tactfully. She didn't relegate Hong Tao to a person like a fool. Instead, it starts from Hong Tao himself. Adapt to the situation. made this suggestion in a roundabout way, so that Hong Tao was much more comfortable to listen to. It's also a lot easier to accept.
The main content of Erin's suggestion is to let Hong Tao register a consulting company, whose business scope includes consulting and guidance for overseas travel, import and export trade, and study abroad. So why not directly set up a hunting and fishing company? It's a lot of trouble, and it's better than that leather bag company.
The main reason is that there is no such thing as a hunting company in the China Administration for Industry and Commerce, and hunting is illegal in China, whether you hunt in China or not, at least according to Chinese law, you can no longer set up such a company in China. Erin studied commercial law, and now she is an apprentice in a law firm, although she is not qualified as an independent lawyer, but she still understands this basic rule, so she suggested that Hong Tao set up a consulting company, in fact, under the guise of consulting, doing the business of selling dog meat on the head of a sheep.
Erin's suggestion is not out of thin air, she made a count of the number of people who asked Hong Tao to inquire about various procedures for going abroad these days, and then calculated an account for Hong Tao according to the ordinary fee standard of the hunting company, and finally came to a conclusion that if you can handle the accommodation, hunting, and travel procedures of these people after going abroad and charge reasonable fees, then this company must be profitable, and the profit is very objective.
In addition, Erin also gave Hong Tao a further detailed suggestion, that is, Hong Tao does not need to be responsible for the whole journey of these rich Chinese people after they go abroad, he only needs to count the specific requirements of these people after going abroad, and send them to the American hunting company, then Hong Tao can collect a commission here, and all the remaining formalities are responsible for the hunting company in the United States, even if there is a safety or other problem, it has nothing to do with Hong Tao.
And Erin has been in private contact with several hunting companies, and has talked to them about this cooperation intention, and those companies are very interested in Erin's proposal, compared with the fiercely competitive, fixed customer source of European and American markets, China's growing high-income class is undoubtedly a new continent. These hunting companies cannot directly enter the Chinese market due to legal and policy factors, but Irene's suggestion just gives them the opportunity to open up the Chinese market.
A little girl has already done the preliminary work to this point, and it is not appropriate for Hong Tao to say that he is lazy and unhappy. And this job is similar to the work of a tourism company that Hong Tao did in his previous life, which is really not a new topic for Hong Tao, not a familiar road, but it is not unfamiliar.
The most important thing is that Erin proposed to use this self-proclaimed company as the beginning of her business, she doesn't want to stay in the law firm all the time, wait for the qualification of an independent lawyer, and then take on various cases step by step. She also has her ideals, and her dream is to open her own law firm and be her own boss!
For Erin's ideal, in fact, in Hong Tao's view, it is a dream, Hong Tao is still quite supportive, young should have young ambitions, although he is a lazy person, but he doesn't want his girlfriend to be a lazy person, if two lazy people live together, then who will he find to eat this soft rice!
In fact, Erin's ideal cannot be said to be completely unrealized, her current law firm happened to take over a case of a lawsuit between a Chinese company and an American company, although Erin is an intern, but the listed lawyer she followed happened to be in charge of the case, and she also had to follow to do the investigation, collect materials or something. And at this time, Erin showed her difference, she was not only Chinese proficient, but also understood Chinese ideas better than most Americans, which was mainly due to Hong Tao, when they were together, they used Chinese and English communication methods to quarrel with each other without incident, so that not only exercised the foreign language of the two people, but also gave an in-depth understanding of the differences between the two countries.
After more than half a year of trial of this case, although the two companies finally chose to settle, the Chinese company was still very satisfied with the work of Erin's law firm, especially Erin's work, they thought that this American lawyer could understand their ideas very well, communicate basically without barriers, and also had certain professional knowledge, and decided to hire Erin as their company's legal consultant in the United States.
In the end, Erin did not get this position, because according to American law, she is not a serious lawyer, just an intern, a future lawyer, so now she can't do the work related to lawyers alone, she can only let other lawyers with a lawyer's license take over the fat of this consultant, and then she will take on someone else's title to actually work.
The law firm was so pleased with Erin's performance that they decided to give Erin a promotion at the end of her internship, making her the youngest full-fledged lawyer in the law firm. And I plan to let her come to China to work, and I will be in charge of the law firm's business in China.
If this promotion plan is implemented normally, Erin will be able to come to Shanghai, China by the end of the year, so that Erin plans to continue to improve her business skills in the firm and start planning her future career, and she is very optimistic about this consulting company. Because this kind of consulting company does not have any entity operation, the core part is the signing of some contracts and legal procedures, to put it bluntly, it is a gathering station for sending people abroad.
