Chapter 3116

Jimmy's purpose in coming to China this time was to claim a portion of the equity of the Shi Misi Law Firm.

It would be best to force Paul and his mother to split the law firm in two, splitting all the North American business to him, while the Asian business would be left for Paul to do himself.

In his opinion, anyway, Paul and his mother would settle in China in the future, and they wouldn't be able to grasp the North American business even if they kept it in their hands. Giving it to himself could be considered returning it to its original owner.

Of course, he also knew very well in his heart that although the Shi Misi Law Firm carried the name of the Shi Misi family, it was indeed built bit by bit by Han Meiqing and his brother. The old man naturally provided some help, but that, whether from the perspective of reason or law, was far from enough to be an investment. If he really sued to split a portion of the equity of the Shi Misi Law Firm, judges all over the world could not possibly support him.

So when he learned that Han Meiqing was getting married, he thought, why not take advantage of Han Meiqing's wedding to come to China and make a scene? If he could force this orphan and widow to spend money to eliminate disasters, that would be the best. Anyway, they are an orphan and widow, and having so much money is of no use.

Han Meiqing naturally knew his intention. In fact, the fundamental reason why she chose to bring Paul to China after her husband passed away was because after her husband passed away, people in the Shi Misi family were always thinking about their law firm.

People in the Shi Misi family didn't think there was anything wrong with their mentality of eating the family's assets. They felt that it was their own family's industry, and now that their eldest brother had passed away, it couldn't be taken away by a woman with a different surname or even a different race.

More importantly, although Paul is a descendant of the Shi Misi family, he chose to stand with his mother, and naturally he was unwilling to let the foundation his parents worked so hard to build be divided by several uncles, so he resolutely chose to move from the United States to China with his mother, and even moved the law firm from the United States.

Paul didn't tell the Shi Misi family about his mother's marriage, but somehow the news leaked, and as a result, his uncle Jimmy flew over at the right time.

Seeing him make a scene for a while, and finally falling on the equity of the Shi Misi Law Firm, Han Meiqing said with a cold expression: "Since you can't say three sentences without mentioning the equity of the Shi Misi Law Firm, then I will have a good talk with you about this matter;"

Speaking of this, Han Meiqing cleared her throat and continued: "The Shi Misi Law Firm was established by me and my late husband after decades of hard work, and the equity structure is also very simple;"

"We each held 50% of the shares at the earliest. Later, as the law firm grew larger and larger, many lawyers joined one after another. So we took out a total of 30% of the equity to motivate excellent lawyers who made huge contributions to the firm and were promoted to partners;"

"Now that 30% of the equity is in the firm's option pool. Except for that 30%, the remaining 70%, I and my late husband each hold 35%;"

"According to his will before his death, after his death, his equity is divided equally between me and my son Paul. So now the equity structure of the Shi Misi Law Firm is: the option pool has 30%, I hold 52.5%, and Paul holds 17.5%. We have developed to this day without taking any investment from any investment bank, fund, or individual;"

"So, there is not a single bit of equity here that belongs to the so-called Shi Misi family, so how to dispose of these shares has nothing to do with you or the so-called Shi Misi family."

Jimmy didn't expect Han Meiqing to explain things so clearly. Feeling that his face couldn't hold it, he immediately said loudly: "Sister-in-law, you are too unconscionable to say that. When you started your business with my eldest brother, my father gave you one million US dollars. It was agreed at the beginning that it would be an investment by the family. In order not to affect your decision-making power in starting a business, this one million US dollars accounted for 49% of the equity of the Shi Misi Law Firm. You can't deny this, right?"

When Han Meiqing heard this, anger rose from her heart, and she scolded coldly: "Jimmy, you are talking nonsense! That one million US dollars was borrowed by your eldest brother from your father, and the loan period was agreed to be three years. But your eldest brother only used it for one year and returned the money to your father. I was afraid that this matter would cause you brothers to suspect each other, so I specifically asked your eldest brother to return the one million cash to your father in front of you. How did it become an investment in your place?"

Jimmy immediately said: "Sister-in-law, you said my eldest brother returned that one million, do you have evidence? Our whole family can testify that this money was never returned!"

Han Meiqing sneered: "Starting to play the rogue, right? Your eldest brother didn't leave a loan agreement when he took that one million, and didn't leave a repayment agreement when he returned it. He just thought that everyone was a family, and borrowing it in front of you and returning it in front of you would naturally prove his innocence. I didn't expect you to be so despicable!"

Jimmy said seriously: "Sister-in-law, let's talk about the matter. I hope you don't rise to personal attacks. I won't say much else. That one million was not returned. Everyone in the Shi Misi family can testify. If you want to deny it, we can see you in court. Even if we lose the lawsuit, it doesn't matter. After all, we were all a family before. If we can't get it back, it will be a wedding gift from our Shi Misi family to you."

Jimmy actually knew very well that his eldest brother had returned it long ago, and there was no document agreement for both borrowing and returning, so he knew it was impossible to sue. He said this just to retreat as an advance, deliberately disgusting Han Meiqing in public.

He also knew that Han Meiqing herself was an expert in law, and could see at a glance that he had no chance of winning this lawsuit at all, so he specifically flew from the United States to perform a public exposure, just to force Han Meiqing to give up a part of the benefits in exchange for his concession.

A few days ago, another top law firm in the United States found him and proposed to acquire all the business and teams of the Shi Misi Law Firm in the United States for 800 million US dollars in cash. The reason for the acquisition was that they knew Paul had moved the law firm to China and wanted to take this opportunity to become the strongest law firm in the United States.

But this acquisition invitation was rejected by Paul as soon as it was sent to him.

The other party could only seek other breakthroughs and found other members of the Shi Misi family, hoping that they could persuade Paul to agree. If Paul didn't agree, the Shi Misi family would definitely be tempted to see such a large acquisition target, and then they would take the initiative to find a way to get the law firm back, and then sell it to themselves.

In order to get a share of the 800 million US dollars, Jimmy prepared to play the rogue to the end, grabbing as much as he could.

Han Meiqing also guessed his tactics, but he obviously misjudged her character. Even if he made a scene for a lifetime, she would never compromise even a bit to him.

So, she said firmly: "Jimmy, since you said see you in court, then I don't think there is any need for us to communicate. If you have any objections, go and say it in front of the judge."

Speaking of this, Han Meiqing added: "Today is the wedding of me and my second husband. You are not welcome here. Please go out, immediately, right now!"

Seeing that Han Meiqing had no attitude of trying to settle things, Jimmy sneered and said: "Han, you are really a snake-hearted woman. Our Shi Misi family has paid so much for you and my eldest brother. Now you turn your face and don't recognize anyone, and even want to drive me out of here. Do you really think the Shi Misi family will let it go? No, they won't! We will do our best to pursue fairness and justice, and will never let you succeed like this! And I tell you, my father has always kept the contract of my eldest brother borrowing money back then. It will be the most powerful evidence in court!"

After saying that, Jimmy turned and was about to leave.

The words just now were a threat he left for Han Meiqing. He actually didn't have any contract at all, and he knew that Han Meiqing knew this very well, but he came to China this time with the mentality and strategy of playing the rogue.

He just wanted to tell a lie and splash dirty water on Han Meiqing in public.

Splashing dirty water is something that as long as it comes out of one person's mouth, even if it is all fake, the other party will be splashed with a gray face.

He made it so clear that he wanted Han Meiqing to know that if Han Meiqing didn't make compromises and concessions, he and the Shi Misi family would keep biting her and not let go. Even if they couldn't force her to hand over all the business of the Shi Misi Law Firm in the United States, they would at least let her cut off a piece of fat. If they couldn't cut off meat to eat, they would make Han Meiqing and the Shi Misi Law Firm lose their reputation. In short, this matter couldn't be so cheap for her.

Han Meiqing knew that the other party was threatening her, so she said coldly: "Get out!"

Jimmy nodded, and when he left, he was still clamoring: "Then let's see you in court!"

After finishing, he looked around at everyone and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, please be sure to pay attention to the lawsuit between the Shi Misi family and Han Meiqing, and the Shi Misi Law Firm. This case will definitely become the classic case that the American judicial field pays the most attention to!"

Everyone whispered to each other. Some said Jimmy must be talking nonsense, but some felt that since he said it so firmly and confidently, this matter must not be groundless. Maybe Han Meiqing really took the family business as her and her son's private property and brought it to China, and it is reasonable for people to find it now.

Some even said that a woman married into the man's family, the man passed away, and it was enough for her to take her children and her dowry away. She shouldn't have taken the man's family business away. Isn't this just greedy for profit? After all, the man's family has already lost an eldest brother, so they can't let the man's family lose both people and money, right?

Ye Chen, who had been silent, saw Jimmy about to leave, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Mr. Shi Misi, please wait a moment."

Jimmy stopped subconsciously and asked with a frown: "What's the matter with you?"

Ye Chen smiled and raised his hand to Jimmy, signaling him not to worry, and then said to Han Meiqing: "Auntie Han, Mr. Shi Misi came from so far away to attend your wedding. If you drive him out directly, he will inevitably feel that our Chinese hospitality is not good. Why not let Mr. Shi Misi stay and attend the wedding?"

Han Meiqing didn't understand why Ye Chen wanted to keep Jimmy. After all, he was obviously here to find trouble, and he had already made the scene very ugly. The confused guests were watching the fun. After today, I don't know how they will evaluate and spread this matter.

But what is certain is that they will definitely not all stand on her side, and some will definitely be affected by Jimmy's lies.

If Jimmy is kept at this time, I don't know what ugly words he will say.

Jimmy didn't expect Ye Chen to keep him, but his intuition told him that this guy absolutely couldn't have any good intentions. If he wanted to find someone to beat him up, he would have no power to parry in this foreign land.

So, he said without hesitation: "Since my sister-in-law is guilty and wants to drive me away, there is no need for me to stay here to add blockage to her. After all, today is her happy day, and it is not suitable for me to say too many truths, leaving her a few faces."

Ye Chen hurriedly said: "Mr. Shi Misi didn't say just now that there are no big people among the guests who came today? In fact, we still have a big person on the way. He is a good friend of the groom, Professor He. I just told him about the situation on the phone, and he asked me to keep you for a while no matter what, and he will arrive here in a while to talk to you in person."

Jimmy frowned: "Why, are you threatening me? Do you think that by temporarily finding some people to scare me, I will be afraid? Even if you beat me, I won't be afraid!"

Ye Chen smiled: "Look at what you said, our China is a country ruled by law, and unlike your United States, everyone has guns. If anyone dares to beat you here, you can just lie on the ground and call the police. At that time, the one who beat you will be detained for at least 15 days, and it might be enough to go to prison."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added: "I asked you to wait a while, not to find someone to scare you, but because I feel that you might have underestimated Professor He's connections. Although he is just a professor at an ordinary university, his connections, even Bill Gates would have to bow down."

"Damn..." Jimmy was amused by Ye Chen and asked back: "Young man, do you know what kind of existence Bill Gates is? Even the US President has to be polite to him. You say that this teacher's connections are more powerful than him. Are you stupid or am I stupid?"

Ye Chen smiled: "Look, you are here anyway, and he will be here in a few minutes. You might as well wait a few minutes. When he comes, you will know when you meet and talk."

After finishing, Ye Chen added: "Of course, if you don't want to wait, it doesn't matter. When he comes back, I will let him go to your room to see you."

Jimmy knew that Ye Chen didn't want to let it go, although he was unhappy, he didn't care.

He felt that He Yuanjiang, a mere teacher, could have any connections?

He is a lawyer of the legendary American lawyer anyway, and although he didn't make much money, he has very strong connections in the American judicial field. How could he not be compared to a teacher?

So, he said simply: "You don't have to scare me. In the old words of you Chinese, I am upright and not afraid of shadows. Moreover, I am not a person who is afraid of things. So many people are witnessing here, I want to see what tricks you can play. If you think I am a foreigner alone and want to bully me, if it spreads out, your faces will be lost!"
