“At the time, I said that since we couldn’t come to an agreement, we might as well ask a professional to evaluate and see which form we would be suitable for.”
Guo Huining was lost in her memories of the past.
Gu Nianzhi and Huo Shaoheng listened attentively.
“Later, I went to consult a professional to see which investment bank was more familiar with this area of business.”
“Then someone introduced Carlyle International Investment Co.’s top analyst, Yi Xinyan, and associate director Jia from Huaxia.”
Guo Huining went one by one, “Then it was Dou aiyan, who was interning at this company, who personally contacted me and said we were alumni…”
Gu nianzhi immediately asked, “You consulted a professional? which professional?”
Guo Huining’s eyes suddenly fluttered, and she was too afraid to look Gu Nianzhi in the eye.
She put her hand down and twirled the hem of her dress, her eyes lowered, and her shoulders trembled slightly.
Huo Shaoheng looked at Guo huining without batting an eyelid and said, “There are usually more professionals in law firms involved in mergers, acquisitions, and listings of companies, right?”
Gu Nianzhi nodded. “That’s What I was going to say. Guo Huining, which law firm did you consult?”
The merger and listing of companies were the main areas of work for many law firms. The money they could collect in this area was more valuable than any lawsuit.
Moreover, once they made a name for themselves and had connections, it was equivalent to counting their money.
Therefore, larger law firms generally would not give up their efforts in this area.
Small and medium-sized law firms would only be able to get a share of this area of business if they had a strong backing.
Gu Nianzhi had originally guessed that this “Professional”was from one of the four famous law firms in Huaxia.
However, Guo Huining had been dawdling for a long time and had said the name of a law firm like a Mosquito:”… King’s Landing.”.
Gu Nianzhi was shocked. “What? ! which law firm? Tell me clearly!”
Guo Huining rolled her eyes and glanced at Gu Nianzhi. Seeing her lose her composure, she couldn’t help smiling resentfully.
It was as if the evil in her heart could no longer be suppressed and was about to spill out from her narrow heart.
“I say, sovereign law office.”Guo huining grinned, revealing her eight slightly large white teeth.
“Sovereign Law Office? Are you sure that’s the name?”Even Huo Shaoheng was slightly moved.
It was this law office again.
Not long ago, because Guo Huining had a bad relationship with the Hong family and involved Gu Nianzhi’s reputation, Huo Shaoheng had personally led people to confiscate this law office.
He Zhichu had also founded the sovereign law office in Huaxia when he had come to this world to look for Gu Nianzhi.
However, when he zhichu had returned to the other world more than a year ago, he had already transferred all of his rights and interests in a hurry.
The person who had taken over the sovereign law office was very good at making money. The size of the sovereign law office was now almost comparable to the fourth largest law firm in Huaxia, and it was on the verge of being taken down.
“It’s just a small law firm. It can’t be anywhere, but in a year and a half, it suddenly made a lot of money. It’s a legend. Whether you believe it or not, I don’t believe it.”Gu Nianzhi pouted.
Guo huining smiled meaningfully. “If you don’t believe it, I believe it. This law firm may be small, but it has a big background. Miss Gu, you must know about it, right?”
Gu Nianzhi’s eyes widened, she blurted out, “What do I know? Although this law firm was founded by my mentor, he zhichu, he has already transferred it… and when he owned this law firm, its business was just SO-SO.”
At that time, he zhichu had registered in Huaxia as a foreign-funded law firm, and his main purpose was not to take over the business, but to find Gu Nianzhi.
“You also know that this was founded by professor he?”Guo huining seemed to have regained her confidence, she smiled and said, “Although professor he had not gone to B University to teach when I graduated, he was still a professor in B University’s law department. The doctoral students he brought out back then are now all people who can hold their own. One of them even entered the imperial capital High Court and is already a judge.”
He Zhichu had only been here for a few years, and his doctoral student was already a Judge?
Gu Nianzhi blinked. She was a little confused by the situation.
Huo Shaoheng thought about it carefully and pulled the topic back. He said, “The law firm of King’s Landing was also the legal representative of Old Madam Hong. It seems that you guys were the ones who led it, right?”
Guo Huining shrugged. “I didn’t know that. I was already kicked out by Old Madam Hong. If you guys are interested, go look for old Madam Hong…”
Huo Shaoheng thought about it. The reason he had led his men to confiscate the law firm was because the Chaoyang people had reported that there were many foreigners in and out of the law firm. It was possible that there were spies.
They had taken away a batch of materials and found some irregularities. They had also handed them over to the relevant departments to rectify in accordance with the law. However, they did not find anything on the spies.
However, they found out that the boss of the sovereign law office was more involved in the whole incident than they had imagined.
Therefore, two months ago, they had conducted a comprehensive investigation of the sovereign law office from the boss to the employees.
Because the situation was quite serious, the boss of the sovereign law office had not returned to the country after learning about the incident abroad.
Huo Shaoheng silently gave the sovereign law office a cross in his heart.
Gu nianzhi frowned and asked, “You went to the sovereign law office to consult about mergers and acquisitions and listing, and they recommended Carlyle International Investment Limited?”
Guo huining nodded, “Yes, they said that Carlyle International Investment Limited is the largest investment bank in the world and manages assets in the tens of billions. If our Hong Group wants to break through the bottleneck, the next step of development should be evaluated by such a professional company and a rationalization proposal should be made.”
Gu Nianzhi had been exposed to this aspect when she had first studied law.
She said uncertainly, “Did king’s landing law firm really recommend Carlyle to you? As far as I know, although the Hong Group is not a small company, it is not too fat for Carlyle…”
In the case of Carlyle’s corporate mergers and acquisitions and listing, the Hong Group was a small potato that did not catch their eye.
“Is this the only investment consulting firm that King’s Landing law firm recommended?”Gu Nianzhi asked worriedly.
She stared into Guo Huining’s eyes, gu nianzhi emphasized, “Don’t make things up. I can look up the relevant records of King’s Landing law firm and the Hong Group. This kind of consulting business is always reported. It’s written in black and white. You Can’t even add to it if you want to.”
Guo huining pursed her lips and snorted. She looked at the ceiling and said, “Yes, you’re good. King’s Landing law firm not only recommended Carlyle for strategic consulting. They also recommended some other companies.”
She mentioned the names of a few investment banks that did strategic consulting. They were all small and professional, and overlapped with the Hong Group’s business.
Gu nianzhi smiled and said, “That’s more like it. If King’s Landing law firm was reliable, they wouldn’t have recommended a giant investment bank like Carlyle right away. But then why did they recommend Carlyle?”
Guo huining stammered a few words and was forced into a corner by Gu Nianzhi, she then said, “I wasn’t too satisfied with the list they provided for the first time. I told them that I wanted to consult the biggest and best investment bank in the industry, so they recommended Carlyle…”
