Chapter 3123: Revenge

Jimmy had deep hatred for his boss, and when he heard him say he wanted to pick him up at the airport, he immediately said, "Okay, I happen to have something to talk to you about in person. When I book the flight, I will send you the flight number."

Nate Ellis said without hesitation, "No problem, no problem. When the time comes, you send it to me, and we will see you at the airport!"

Jimmy hung up his phone and handed the phone back to Steve. At this time, Nate Ellis in the United States was already pacing back and forth in the room in a panic, muttering: "It's over, Jimmy definitely won't let it go easily..."

His wife asked in surprise: "What's going on? Wasn't Jimmy fired by you? Why do you want him to join the board of directors and pick him up at the airport personally?"

"Don't mention it..." Nate said depressedly: "The successor of the Rothschild family, Steve Rothschild, called me himself, saying that he and Jimmy were just misunderstandings before... You say what is this called? I deliberately created opportunities for him to make mistakes and collected his criminal evidence just to hold him at a critical moment, but he came to call and said everything was just a misunderstanding, and also said he promised his friend to take good care of Jimmy. Isn't this trying to kill me?"

His wife exclaimed: "Did Steve Rothschild call you personally?"

"Yes..." Nate sighed: "I have served the Rothschild family for so many years, and I have never had direct contact with any Rothschild family member. In other words, people like me are not qualified to dock directly with Rothschild family members at all. It is considered good to be able to dock with their butler or business person in charge. As a result, the number two figure of the Rothschild family called me personally and said he wanted to take care of Jimmy. Think about it, they must have each other's contact information. If I can't satisfy Jimmy this time, he will definitely go to Steve to complain!"

His wife rubbed her nose and said worriedly: "I still know Jimmy a little bit. He is very shrewd and not a good person. There are many excellent lawyers in your law firm, and he is one of the most aggressive lawyers. Moreover, this person has various means. He probably already knows about the handles you deliberately set for him. If you can't make him forgive you, he will definitely become a big trouble."

Nate said helplessly: "I don't know if I can handle him now. I don't know if he can be satisfied if I let him join the board of directors. If not, give him some more equity options and use money to appease him!"

His wife asked painfully: "How much money do you plan to give him?"

Nate thought for a while and said: "Add another 5 million US dollars a year on the current basis. This should satisfy him, right?"

Nate's wife sighed and covered her chest: "I hope so. 5 million US dollars is not a small amount. It's really cheap for him!"

The morning after the wedding, the couple He Yuanjiang and Han Han Meiqing left Jin Ling on Steve's private jet.

And that morning, Jimmy also embarked on the journey back to the United States by plane.

Xiao Xiao Changkun and Ma Lan's honeymoon trip to Dubai had a few days left, so Ye Chen enjoyed a short period of peace.

Twelve hours later, Jimmy, full of anger, landed at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. Nate, his boss, had been looking forward to it at the airport with the option agreement.

In these twelve hours of return, Jimmy didn't sleep for a minute.

There was only one thing in his mind: how to try his best to toss his boss Nate, who had no virtue.

The annual net profit of Ellis Law Firm is about 500 million US dollars. Among them, Nate, as the founder and major shareholder, can get at least 150 million US dollars. Jimmy calculated the ten people with the strongest business ability in the law firm. The total salary, bonus, and commission of these ten people a year is about 100 million US dollars. Although the income obtained by these ten people only accounts for 20% of the law firm's profit, the output value they create accounts for 80% or more of the entire law firm.

Jimmy felt that since he had Steve, this Shangfang sword, he should naturally take away all the ten strongest people in Ellis, and not leave one for Nate.

As long as these ten people leave Ellis, the revenue of Ellis next year will probably be at least cut in half.

The most terrible thing is that these ten people no longer create value for Ellis, but Ellis still has to pay them full salary continuously, which will take away another 100 million from Ellis's profit next year. Calculating this way, Ellis will probably start losing money next year.

However, Jimmy felt that if he just did this, it would not be enough.

He wanted Nate to pay a greater price.

So, he spent twelve hours calculating

When he walked out of the airport with dark circles under his eyes, Nate greeted him with excitement. As soon as he approached, he took the initiative to put his arm around his shoulder and said enthusiastically: "Jimmy, you're finally back!"

As he spoke, fearing that Jimmy would start making trouble directly, he immediately took out a document from his briefcase and said to Jimmy: "There are two agreements in here. One is the approval letter for you to join the board of directors, and the other is an agreement to grant you additional stock options. Conservatively estimated, this option agreement will bring you an additional five million US dollars in income every year. This is also a little token of my appreciation as your boss. Please don't take what happened before to heart."

Jimmy nodded calmly and asked him back: "For me to join the board of directors, have the other directors agreed?"

Nate hurriedly said: "I haven't communicated with them in detail yet, but I believe that if I strongly recommend you to join the board, they definitely won't have any objections. Most of these directors are early investors who have already made a lot of money from the firm's dividends over the years, so if I want to pull you into the board, they shouldn't dare to oppose it."

As he spoke, Nate added: "If you are tired, I will send you home to rest first. If you are not tired, we will go directly to the company. The board members are already waiting to see you."

Jimmy said indifferently: "Then let's go to the company first."

"Good!" Nate said with a smile: "My car is outside, let's go!"

The two came out of the airport, and Nate invited him into his Bentley sedan. Subsequently, Nate drove, Jimmy sat in the passenger seat, and the vehicle drove toward the office of the Ellis Law Firm in Manhattan.

On the way, Nate said with great regret: "Jimmy, I have been feeling very regretful about yesterday's incident. You and I have worked together for many years, and I recognize your value very much. If it weren't for the fact that the Rothschild family's butler kept putting pressure on me, I wouldn't have been able to disregard you. I hope you can understand."

Jimmy asked him back: "You said on the phone yesterday that every senior partner at the firm has dirt in your hands. I want to know what kind of dirt it is specifically?"

Nate touched his nose and said somewhat awkwardly: "Actually, it's about the same as your situation. It's just some cases that are relatively easy to win and have a high enough value. I would have people induce clients to cooperate with lawyers privately, which can reduce legal fees by at least half. Because the value of the case is high and it's relatively easy to win, and the clients also take the initiative to express their desire to deal privately, most lawyers find it hard to refuse. I would also have people induce these clients to leave relevant evidence to avoid future risks, and then find a way to get this evidence into my hands."

As he spoke, Nate defended himself: "Jimmy, you also know that every senior partner, in addition to their own reputation, has many client resources. Once they are poached by other law firms or simply go out to set up their own practice, they will inevitably take away Ellis's clients and potential clients. This kind of thing is something I cannot tolerate. So, for the sake of Ellis's stability and safety, I must also keep an ace up my sleeve. That's why I wanted to keep some evidence in my hands as a trump card for counter-measures..."

Jimmy nodded and said indifferently: "I know you want me to stop pursuing this matter. For the sake of the options and the board membership, I can consider this matter, but I have one more condition that you must agree to."

Nate hurriedly said: "Tell me, as long as it's something I can do, I will definitely do it!"

Jimmy said: "I want the dirt and evidence you have on all the senior partners. To be honest, you made me feel very insecure this time. My dirt is already in your hands, so I must also know the dirt on others to increase my own sense of security."

Nate thought for a while and said cautiously: "Jimmy, if this information is leaked, it will greatly affect the internal stability and unity of our law firm. Besides, with the Rothschild family covering your situation, even if it were leaked, there would definitely be no problems, so you don't need to feel insecure because of this..."

Jimmy raised his hand to interrupt him and said seriously: "I only have this one request. If you can agree, we will go to the company to meet the board members. If you can't agree, then please just send me home, and I will go to the company tomorrow morning to complete the termination agreement."

How could Nate dare to let Jimmy terminate his contract with the law firm at this time? What if Steve Rothschild thought he had deliberately fired him? Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

Now, the only way to pass this hurdle with Steve Rothschild was to make Jimmy satisfied and have him let go of the past. As long as this could be done, he and the law firm would be safe for the time being.

Thinking of this, Nate asked Jimmy directly: "Jimmy, you shouldn't be planning to leak this information to the parties involved, right?"

Jimmy said indifferently: "Don't worry, if I leak that information to the parties involved, then may God punish me, let me, Jimmy Smith, leave my homeland, leave the United States, drift overseas, and work for others for ten years. And during these ten years, not only will the other party not give me a single cent of salary, but even the money I earn from other places, he will take away more than half of it."

Nate thought to himself: "Why does this oath Jimmy took sound so strange? But the content of this oath does seem quite ruthless. Working for someone else for free for ten years, and even if the other party doesn't give a penny, he still has to give money to the other party? Even the black slaves of the past weren't this miserable, right? Everyone is a child of God; he shouldn't be joking about his own future."

Thinking of this, he let out a sigh of relief and said: "Good! Since you've said so, I definitely can't refuse. Let's do this: let's go to the company to meet the directors first, and I will send you all that information later."
