1. We have a huge dream in our hearts - to create a global big firm dominated by Chinese
Dear Landing colleagues, I was just touched by the Landing colleagues all over the world, and I choked up. I feel very honored and excited to stand here and represent you to jointly express the mental journey we have gone through for more than a year. I clearly remember that a year and a half ago, several partners came together. We wanted to practice the ideas in our hearts. We wanted to create an absolutely professional, relatively large-scale, and strong international law firm. Several of our partners have sentiments and ideals, and we also have a huge dream in our hearts - we want to create a global large and strong firm dominated by Chinese, we hope that our Chinese legal industry will be created by Landing Law firms can match the revival of our great nation.
Just because we have dreams in our hearts, our start is very humble; just because we have ideas in our hearts, our entrepreneurship is so simple. I clearly remember that one and a half years ago, we did not rent any luxurious offices. It was not that we were poor, and each partner was worth more than ten million yuan, but we rented two small rooms in a startup industrial park. office. Because we know: when you have dreams, hardware is not important, and when you have great dreams, those material things are not the most important.
A year and a half has passed. At this time last year, when I stood here, we were still fulfilling the dreams in our hearts. We did not rent an office of 1,000 square meters or 2,000 square meters. We only rented a small office of less than 600 square meters. But today, when we looked around, the place was crowded with people. Such a scene is the pride of us Landing people. In today's Shanghai and in today's Chinese legal industry, competition is extremely fierce. How many Class A office buildings have 1,000 square meters or even 5,000 square meters vacant and cannot recruit people, but Landing people are so integrated together. The confidence you exude and the positive smile you show are our pride. We have reason to stand here to show the pride of Landing people.
2. We have reasons to stand in the Shanghai to show the pride of our Landing people
Over the past year, our achievements have been impressive. It is almost unprecedented to have 7 branches approved, and it is almost unprecedented to deploy 23 branches around the world. In such a small place, we have already been among the 100 people law firm in Shanghai. None of these are worthy of our pride. What we are most proud of is that in just one year, each of you at Landing have won dozens of clients from listed companies, and hundreds of China's top 500 and the world's top 500 companies. Regarding this kind of pride, lawyers in the United States, Europe and in the world is hardly comparable to ours. In just one year, every one of us here at Landing has won hundreds of high-quality clients all over the world, which is our pride.
Why can Landing people achieve such pride in one year? First of all, we would like to thank everyone here for constructing a very excellent professional talent structure. The reason why Landing people can unite is because we have a common philosophy. We have gathered a group of professionals to form a professional partner team and a professional lawyer team that I am extremely proud of. It is precisely because of the professionalism of each Landing employee that the Landing brand has been forged; it is precisely because of your professionalism that Landing has risen to the fastest-growing law firm in just over a year and won the the honors and awards of various institutions have made us an influential law firm; it is precisely because Landing want to practice a all-membership partnership law firm at the beginning of our business, because we know that fighting alone vitalityless, it will never be possible to achieve a great business by fighting alone. Landing people, whether they are all-member partners of the team or all-member partners of the law firm, have practiced very beautifully; it is precisely because of all-member partnership, Landing embodies a collective spirit and reflects a common honor, embodies that we are like a big family, and embodies our whole Landing like a strong team.
3. Landing people benefit from Landing’s system, benefit from Landing’s scientific and democratic management
At the beginning of our business, Landing benefited from a set of very democratic and scientific management mechanisms that Landing set up from the very beginning. I'm just one of Landing member, like all Landing people, and like every partner, and all of our partners, like everyone in this room, are subject to Landing's system, subject to Landing's scientific and democratic management. It is precisely because Landing people have created and structured a very unique Landing culture with the spirit of ownership in just one year, whether it is the lecture every week or when Landing person come back from business trip they will bring melons and fruits to the office to share, every detail shows that Landing people regard Landing as a big family in our hearts, and jointly build Landing culture; precisely because high-quality partner tructure, scientific and democratic management, all-member partnership system and every Landing is building the Landing culture, so we have created great achievements in the past year.
4. Landing people look at the world, have the world in mind, and achieve differentiated operations in overseas markets
Of course, in the long career path or in the goals of Landing people, these achievements are just a exam or a unit exam. We have reason to be proud, but there is no reason to be complacent. We know that in China today, the competition in the legal industry is very fierce. With the economic downturn and the rapid growth of legal talents, the domestic lawyer industry must be a red sea of fighting. Perhaps because of historical and administrative reasons, the management and competition of China's legal industry are extremely irregular. In addition, we are in an IT era, and the use of AI systems will inevitably weaken the positions of many lawyers. The reasons will inevitably make us feel that our road ahead will not be smooth, there are still many hurdles ahead of us, and there are still many things that we need to fight together to overcome. So on the road ahead, every Landing people present here or every Landing people who are around the world, we still have to keep looking at the world and have the world in our hearts. Although we are a law firm, it is precisely because Landing people look at the world and have the world in mind that we can achieve differentiated operation in a series of fields such as overseas investment, foreign-related fields, and financial and securities fields. We still have to insist on joint business behavior.
What makes me feel honored today is that in the conference room on the right in the afternoon, the partners successfully passed the full-member partnership plan, which is unprecedented in terms of this plan. We, the partners, took out the profits that should have been allocated to the partners' pockets in a dignified manner and let every Landing employee share them. Whether you are an administrator or an assistant, as long as you enter the Landing family, you are the boss. As long as you become a Landing people, you are a partner. So, my other excitement this afternoon is that I want to thank these partners for giving up the money that could have put into pocket and letting every Landing person share it. So first of all, I suggest that everyone give each partner a warm applause!
5. Landing people should specialize in related field and have the revolutionary spirit of a strong man breaking his wrists in every professional field
Our joint management behavior may make the road ahead more cohesive, but in the current society, Landing people still needs a revolutionary spirit of a strong man breaking his wrist. The absolute specialization we advocate means that every Landing employee must have a spirit of self-revolution, give up some things that they should not do, and be specialized in related field. Let every Landing person have the revolutionary spirit and self-reform in every professional field.A large law firm is like an aircraft carrier moving forward. Everyone performs their duties on the sea, which means that everyone must have a spirit of sacrifice. Therefore, on the way forward in the future, As long as each of us at Landing can persist in differentiated management, joint management, the spirit of reform and the spirit of sacrifice.
I believe that the next step of glory must not be far away! So I am looking forward to every one of the Landing here at this gathering, at the anniversary. Of course, I will not ask every Landing to be as great and noble as a member of the Communist Party. Every Landing people can be very ordinary. You can make a fortune in a vulgar way, but you need to have feelings and ideals in your heart. These two can go hand in hand. You can make a fortune in a vulgar way, but you cannot give up the ideals and feelings in your heart. Every Landing people can express his/her individuality, but every Landing people must abide by the rules of the country and the industry, and must not violate the rules of the country or industry. In the all-member partnership plan we passed this afternoon, we will adopt a point deduction system for those who are punished or violate industry rules. A system like this reminds every partner to be a law-abiding lawyer who cannot touch the moral bottom line. I also expect every Landing people to develop by leaps on the road of practicing, but you must have the spirit of craftsmanship.
I hope that every Landing people will have the patience of a craftsman to cultivate himself into a professional and not be too impetuous on the way to growth. I also hope that every Landing people can live a petty life, but you must not be lazy. In an era of full competition, you must continue to learn and improve. I believe that as long as Landing people can persist in the above and meet the expectations above, the future will be very bright. Standing here today, I can look forward to the future with you. This time next year, every boss and partner here, Landing people will definitely be sitting in an Class A office building with a first-class river view in Shanghai. We applaud for this!
6. We regard every day as the first day of starting a business. I am sure that Landing will become a first-class firm in China in less than five years
At this time next year, every partner here, you are already a partner and boss of a large firm of 200 people! In less than next year, you will be the boss with an income of over 100 million! We can look forward to the future. In five years, maybe not five years, Landing has become a first-class big and strong firm in China. Whether it’s hardware or software, whether it’s reputation or image, in five years we can declare to the world with no shame that Landing is China’s top law firm! We can also look forward to another twenty to thirty years. Everyone here cherishes today’s photos and videos. Twenty to thirty years from now, you will point to the videos and photos to your children and grandchildren and say, grandparents are the founders of the Landing family, the world’s best First-class strong firm.
I am definitely looking forward to that day, but I am even more looking forward to today and tomorrow. Landing people should cherish every day, and we treat every day as the first day of starting a business. Finally, best wishes to Landing and everyone, thank you!
