A few days later.

New York, headquarters of Sidley Austin LLP.

A pretty young woman of Chinese descent, along with many top students from prestigious universities, was being interviewed by a senior partner of this law firm.

When it was her turn, a middle-aged Latino shook his head decisively and said,

"Ms. Song, I think you may have some misunderstanding about our law firm. This is one of the largest law firms in the United States, and you have only just passed the bar exam. You don't have any advantages in terms of education or work experience. I don't know how they let you pass the initial screening. I can't think of any reason to hire you unless you can find one for me."

American lawyers, especially senior partners in large law firms, are definitely white-collar elites, with annual dividends that can reach hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars.

Over time, it's easy to develop an arrogant and bad temper, so this profession is not very popular, and the inherent impression is very negative.

This may also be related to the fact that lawyers charge too much, often helping the powerful bully others. Hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars in the U.S.'s annual GDP are provided by the litigation industry, which supports many lawyers.

Ms. Song, who was being interviewed, didn't panic at all in the face of many competitors. She calmly took out a letter and said,

"I think this is the best reason. The CEO of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is a relative of mine, and he may be able to bring you some business."

Needless to say.

This letter of recommendation, which she held in her hand, was written by Su Yehao a few days ago, which gave her a lot of confidence.

Seeing the unsigned ordinary envelope, the partner in charge of the interview initially didn't take it seriously, thinking it was written by the so-called CEO of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

But when he opened it, he was surprised to find that the signature was "Su," with a red seal.

For a moment.

The partner didn't react and casually asked, "Who is the person who wrote this letter for you?"

"The second richest man in the world? Yanwenzi, a major shareholder of Google. I checked online, and Mr. Su's total net worth seems to have exceeded Buffett, who is currently ranked second. My relative has known him for a long time and has maintained a good relationship."

In this kind of situation, of course, relationships should be clearly displayed, and not hidden and let others guess.

After hearing Ms. Song's words.

The Latino partner sitting across from her, and his colleagues, were all stunned and immediately changed their expressions, carefully looking at the letter of recommendation with handwriting that was not very good. They suddenly felt that it had become heavy and full of weight.

Law firms want to grow bigger and stronger, relying on contacts, clients, and resources. The Latino partner instantly smiled, got up, buttoned his suit, and reached out his hand, saying,

"Congratulations, your abilities fully meet our needs, and you may even be able to get an office. Our law firm has always had a tradition of bringing in newcomers. I hope you can give me priority consideration. Please don't take what just happened to heart. Everyone knows that I have the best temper. I'm sorry, I'll go out for a few minutes..."

After closing the door.

Under the gaze of other interviewees, the partner trotted all the way, with a happy smile on his face, to discuss with the law firm's big boss.

When the other party heard that there was an opportunity to get in touch with Su Yehao and win some business from him, he decided without saying a word that he must keep Ms. Song.

In order to open up new business opportunities, even if she was just eating and being supported for nothing, it didn't matter, after all, she came with her own resources and connections, and the background was really strong.

This led to the fact that while other intern applicants were still anxiously waiting for the results, someone was already helping Ms. Song clean up her own independent office...

——————

Since his relative successfully found a job, Zheng Yongwen made a special call to Su Yehao, saying that he wanted to treat him to dinner.

When Su Yehao received the call, he was fishing at sea again. His "Su (•̀w•́)ﾉ" yacht was also parked not far away, so he wouldn't have to squeeze into a small room at night and be forced to smell the fishy smell of sea fish.

At this moment, Su Yehao was holding a fishing rod in one hand and a satellite phone in the other, saying,

"It's good if I can help. There's no need to treat me to dinner. My business in the United States is constantly expanding, and there are many lawsuits. When the time comes, I'll say hello and give some business to your relative's family."

Zheng Yongwen told him on the phone, "How could I? However, Sidley Austin LLP is a good size, so I won't be polite with you. In the future, if you need any help, just say hello directly, and I'll owe you a favor."

After thinking for a while, Su Yehao didn't stand on ceremony with Zheng Yongwen and directly said,

"Then I hope you can support me in passing the plan of different rights for the same share, setting up AB shares on the Science and Technology Innovation Board, to avoid others choosing to list on NASDAQ because they may lose decision-making power."

"...This is not easy to pass, there are too many issues involved."

"What's the problem? It's just that they can't stand the idea of tech stocks being special, and other people also want to take advantage. I proposed this reform plan based on the public interest. You also know that the Internet industry is recovering, and I plan to list TOT on both the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the Shanghai Stock Exchange at the same time. At that time, I might be able to attract more Asian, European, and American technology companies and really make the Science and Technology Innovation Board successful."

At the beginning, Su Yehao strongly promoted the Hong Kong Stock Exchange's Science and Technology Innovation Board. Developing to the present, the situation is not very good. Yinhai Network Company is considered a relatively outstanding technology stock in it, lacking companies with the strength to shoulder heavy responsibilities.

In the next few years, TOT, TAT, and Tao Bao will probably be listed one after another at the appropriate time, so while the scale of the Science and Technology Innovation Board is not too large, Su Yehao hopes to pass the killer move of different rights for the same share as soon as possible and truly stand on the same starting line as NASDAQ.

What needs to be known is that many start-up companies initially have no money, and a large amount of financing can easily cause the founders to lose control of the company.

NASDAQ's policy of different rights for the same share can help the founders retain decision-making power, and they can control the company with only a small number of shares, which is equivalent to removing the restrictions on financing and listing.

Su Yehao himself doesn't need it, but he believes that as long as this plan is passed, there will be an opportunity to make the Hong Kong Stock Exchange's Science and Technology Innovation Board more attractive.

The fishing rod in his hand suddenly sank, and Su Yehao almost threw the phone away. He hurriedly raised the rod and reeled in the line, adding, "When I go back, let's find some time to study it. Yong Ge, you can help me explore the way first, is that okay?"

He had just said he owed him a favor, but he didn't expect to have to repay it immediately. Zheng Yongwen sighed and said, "Okay, I guess I'll have to argue at the board of directors again at that time. You go and contact the people above, and I'll be responsible for finding a way to persuade others."

After hanging up the phone, Su Yehao's arm was sore, and he really didn't have the strength to pull the big fish in the sea ashore, so he asked the bodyguard to help. He sat aside and ate watermelon.

After several minutes, the fish in the sea was pulled to the side of the boat. It turned out to be a big yellowfin tuna.

Su Yehao immediately jumped out to reap the rewards. It was rare to encounter this kind of fish, how could he miss the opportunity...
