Chapter: 6461

The ultimate goal of every legal elite is actually to enter politics.

Running for office, running for governor, or even running for president - as long as they are professionals from the legal field, it will be much easier than ordinary politicians.

So Steve deliberately gave Knight a subtle reminder to focus his energy on higher-level areas rather than focusing on these employees.

Knight was indeed inspired by this, but he also thought that this was an excellent opportunity to get closer to Steve and was grateful for Steve's personal solution. It was an honor in itself, so he naturally wanted to give him face.

As for who would pay the salaries of these people, Knight had already lost interest.

Running a law firm can make millions in a year, but that's just the ceiling.

Once you take the step into politics, it's not just about millions; behind it are rights that are hard to quantify with money.

In the United States, even a single bill's enforcement can have enormous commercial opportunities of tens or hundreds of billions of dollars; lawyers who do this work for long enough will see many such cases, but they can only be observers and never truly get involved; only by entering politics can one have a chance to take part in it.

So, with this lofty goal as support, the salaries of these 10 people in front of me are nothing to worry about for Knight.

Even if Ellis doesn't earn any money later, as long as he can successfully enter politics, this investment is still worth it.

Moreover, Knight seems to have gained Steve's recognition, and if today's thing goes smoothly, he feels that Steve will definitely become a valuable person in his life in the future.

Steve naturally knows Knight's thoughts, so he just smiles and says, "Knight, you've indeed impressed me."

As soon as Steve said this, Knight's emotional excitement was fully captured by Steve; then he turned to look at those people behind Jimmy, opened his mouth, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, let me say something fairly straightforward: if you accept my advice just now, I believe Knight can do nothing about the mistakes you've made before. However, in this situation, if you still want to back out completely, that would be a bit too idealistic; so are you willing to accept this proposal and stay with me in China?"

Almost everyone present showed no hesitation and immediately nodded their heads in agreement.

For them, since they couldn't possibly back out completely, this solution felt like the best one - on the one hand, it wouldn't allow Knight to stab them in the back; on the other hand, salaries would be guaranteed, and they could also establish a certain connection with Steve and accumulate some social capital.

Steve saw that everything was going smoothly, so he smiled and said, "Since it's like this, then let's settle this matter. Knight, I'll give them two weeks to get ready to go back to America. Meanwhile, you should hurry up and help them tie up loose ends with their current work and resources. As for the board members, they're all very professional lawyers who have been busy lately, so please make sure they get everything in order before leaving."

Knight was taken aback by Steve's concern and hastened to say, "Mr. Rockefeller, don't worry, I'll take care of everything as soon as we return. Then, let them report back to you on schedule."

Steve nodded and added, "When the time comes, let them report to Jimmy. I'll also arrange for someone to coordinate with them on my behalf through Jimmy."

"Okay!" Knight said without hesitation, "I understand. I'm one hundred percent following your orders!"

Steve was very satisfied with Knight's attitude and smiled as he said, "I may need to stay in Nanjing for a while longer before I can return to America. After that, we can have dinner together. What do you think?"

Knight's excitement reached new heights upon hearing this, and he hurriedly replied, "That's fine! Mr. Rockefeller, I... I am always ready to follow your orders!"

"Good." Steve nodded and said, "So it's settled then."

He turned his attention to the others and said, "That's all for today. I hope you can all get back on track and tie up loose ends with Knight when you return. Let's avoid causing any losses for Ellis. We're all adults, and as long as we can find a balance, many unpleasant things will just fade away."

Steve was incredibly respected in the eyes of these American people, having transformed from a mighty figure into a wise old patriarch. These people nodded their heads one by one, filled with reverence and admiration, and took Steve's words as their guiding principle.

Steve had almost settled everything, and then he exchanged a glance with Ye Chen before saying, "Alright, you all have an internal meeting. I'll let you get on with it without bothering you too much. Before you leave, I'll treat you to dinner at the best hotel in Nanjing, and we'll definitely catch up when we're back!" JrNovels.com
