Chapter 3130
Nate was shocked into a cold sweat by Jimmy's words, and instantly figured out the pros and cons.
He cursed in his heart: "No wonder Jimmy signed the ten-year agreement so readily, it turns out he set me up!"
Furious, he stared at Jimmy with murderous eyes and questioned through gritted teeth: "Jimmy, what good is it for you to do this? If it affects the performance and profit of the law firm, your own income will also be greatly affected. Do you want to break one of your own arms to exchange for one of my legs?"
Jimmy smiled slightly and asked him back: "We signed a base salary agreement, regardless of the law firm's income? You have to pay me a fixed 14 million US dollars every year. So no matter how much money you earn in the future, my part is constant. Since that's the case, of course I won't let you have a good time."
Nate just suddenly remembered that this bastard Jimmy didn't accept the stock options he gave him, but used the stock options to discount an annual cash dividend of 10 million.
Stupid himself, he thought he was just small-minded and only looked at the present, but now it seems that this guy has already made full preparations!
Nate stared at Jimmy with hateful eyes and threatened: "Jimmy, I won't pursue everything you said just now, but I warn you, don't continue to go against me, and don't continue to expose more hidden facts, otherwise I will definitely not let you go!"
Nate knew very well that he was tricked by Jimmy yesterday and sent the evidence he had mastered on others to him.
And Jimmy just said one of them just now. If he chose to say it all, these people would turn against him and treat him as the biggest enemy.
So, the top priority now is to keep Jimmy's mouth shut. No matter what, he cannot let him expand the negative impact.
At this time, Steve on the side looked at Nate and asked coldly: "If I heard correctly, you were threatening my friend just now?"
"Ah? Your friend?" Nate was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly said: "Mr. Rothschild, you don't know the hidden facts here. It was clearly him who set me up! I just signed a ten-year agreement with him before I came... ten years!"
Steve said faintly: "What hidden facts could I not know? Isn't it that you deliberately found people to create opportunities for Jimmy and other senior partners to make mistakes, and then grabbed their handles to threaten them? Since you play so dirty yourself, you can't blame others for being ruthless to you."
After speaking, he looked at Jimmy and said loudly: "Jimmy, since you already know many hidden facts about your law firm, and now the core members of your law firm are basically all here, why don't you chat with everyone about what you know, so that everyone can recognize the true face of Ellis Law Firm."
"Okay!" Jimmy was waiting to fall into the trap. Seeing that Steve said so, he immediately picked up the microphone on the conference table and was about to speak.
Nate was terrified. He never expected that he originally planned to use these secrets and the ten-year contract to stabilize Jimmy, but Jimmy turned around and exposed himself to whip the corpse. If those secrets were really all said, these senior partners would probably hate himself to the bone.
If they wanted to leave his law firm, how should he deal with it? Expose all their secrets and then arrest them all? In that case, it would inevitably trigger a shock in the entire US legal industry. By then, everyone would avoid him, and in that case, how would the law firm operate in the future?
However, if they were released directly, everyone would keep secrets and tacitly understand, which would also be a huge loss for the law firm.
You know, many handles were formed by him sending ready-made cases to them, which is equivalent to sending money to them in exchange for their handles. If these handles were not used in the end, then the money would be wasted.
By that time, it would be a loss of both people and money, and all the backbone of the entire Ellis Law Firm would be lost, suffering heavy losses.
So, he said to Jimmy with a pleading tone: "Jimmy, we are colleagues, you can tell me your demands directly, no need to destroy the internal unity of the law firm..."
Before Jimmy could speak, Eric, who had just been named by Jimmy, shouted loudly: "Jimmy, if there is any hidden fact related to everyone, just say it together! If Nate really mastered everyone's handles, we must unite to resist! Otherwise, once broken one by one, everyone will be finished!"
Eric's mood at the moment was both angry and afraid. Although Nate's way of fixing himself was shameless, the mistake was indeed committed by himself. This feeling is like a wife deliberately hooking up with her husband with another woman in secret in order to divide more family property in the future. Although this approach is indeed low, once the man really can't hold back the temptation and has an affair with that woman, it is a fact that he cheated, and he can't wash it off no matter what.
So, his idea now is very simple. He can hear from the conversation between Jimmy and Nate that Nate definitely didn't just set a trap for himself alone. It is very likely that other senior partners have also fallen into the trap without knowing it. So the best way now is to let Jimmy say everything about others, so that everyone can form an alliance to advance and retreat together, so that it is more certain to deal with Nate.
Although others hadn't spoken, they also knew very well in their hearts that since Nate could set a trap for Eric, other senior partners probably couldn't escape either. They all had behaviors of being unable to resist temptation, taking orders privately outside, or directly intercepting company orders in the past few years. Now, although they couldn't be sure which of those behaviors were high-risk, they could guess that they definitely had handles in Nate's hands. So the top priority now is to figure out how much risk they have.
So, everyone spoke up one after another.
Someone said: "Jimmy, since everyone is here, just say everything you know!"
"Yes, Jimmy! Eric is right, we must advance and retreat together at this time!"
"Jimmy, be bold and don't be afraid. With Mr. Rothschild here and our support, no one dares to do anything to you!"
Jimmy nodded, picked up the microphone, and said: "Since everyone is so united, then I will tell everyone what I know. What I want to explain to everyone first is that all senior partners, including me, have handles mastered by Nate and the board of directors that are enough to be sent to prison!"
As soon as this was said, everyone's expressions became more nervous.
Seeing that things had come to this, Nate hurriedly explained pale: "Don't be misled by Jimmy. I admit that for the sake of the team and the stability of the company's business, I did take some extraordinary preventive measures, but I wouldn't use these secrets to deal with everyone unless it was a last resort..."
Jimmy snorted: "Don't have any illusions about Nate. Although he hasn't exposed your handles yet, once it is necessary, he will sell you without hesitation!"
After speaking, he added: "Just two days ago, I had a small misunderstanding with Mr. Rothschild in Jin Ling. Nate knew about it, and instead of firing me directly from the law firm, he even took the initiative to give all my handles to Mr. Rothschild's butler, wanting to send me to prison. If I hadn't reconciled with Mr. Rothschild, I'm afraid I would have been caught by the FBI by now!"
