The most frightening thing is that these ten people no longer create value for Ellis, but Ellis will continue to pay them full salaries, which will take another 100 million from Ellis's profit next year. So calculate Come down, Ellis may start losing money next year.

However, Jimmy felt that just doing this was not enough.

He wanted Knight to pay a bigger price.

So, he spent twelve hours planning a very insidious plan.

When he walked out of the airport with dark circles under his eyes, Knight came forward to greet him with excitement. As soon as he came up, he took the initiative to put his arm around his arms and said enthusiastically: "Jimmy, you are finally back!"

As he spoke, he was afraid that Jimmy would directly attack him, so he immediately took out a document from his briefcase and said to Jimmy: "There are two agreements here, one is the approval letter for you to join the board of directors, and the other is to grant you some additional options. Agreement, it is conservatively estimated that this option agreement will bring you five million US dollars in additional income every year. This is also my intention as the boss. Please don�t take the previous things seriously.�

Jimmy nodded calmly and asked him, "Have the other directors agreed to let me join the board of directors?"

Knight said quickly: "I haven't communicated with them in detail, but I believe that if I recommend you to join the board of directors, they will definitely not have any objections. Most of these directors are investors in the early years, and they have grown from The law firm has made a lot of money from its dividends, so if I want to bring you on to the board of directors, they shouldn�t dare to object.�

With that said, Knight 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 calmly: "Then let's go to the company first."

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

When the two came out of the airport, Knight invited him into his Bentley. Then, Knight drove, Jimmy sat in the passenger seat, and the car drove towards the offices of Ellis & Associates in Manhattan.

On the way, Knight said with great regret: "Jimmy, I have always regretted what happened yesterday. You and I have worked together for many years, and I also recognize you very much. If it weren't for the steward of the Rothschild family who has been putting pressure on me, I can't ignore you, and I hope you understand."

Jimmy asked him back: "You said on the phone yesterday that every senior partner in the law firm has a handle on you. I want to know what kind of handle it is?"

Knight touched his nose and said with some embarrassment: "Actually, the situation is similar to yours. For some cases that are easier to win and the bids are high enough, I will let people induce the clients to find lawyers to reach cooperation in private. This can reduce the cost of at least half of the lawyers. Because the bid of the case is high and relatively easy to win, and the client has actively expressed his/her desire to close the deal privately, it is difficult for most lawyers to refuse. I will also induce these clients to leave relevant evidence to avoid future risks. , and then find a way to get these evidences in hand."

As he spoke, Knight defended himself: "Jimmy, you also know that in addition to their own reputation, every senior partner also has a lot of client resources. Once they are poached by other law firms, or simply go out to set up their own business, they will inevitably... I can't tolerate this kind of thing that will take away Ellis's customers and potential customers, so for the stability and safety of Ellis, I have to keep a hand, so I want to keep some evidence in my hand as a counterattack. The trump card made by..."

Jimmy nodded and said calmly: "I know you want me to stop pursuing this matter. For the sake of options and board members, I can also consider it, but I have one condition. You must promise me."

Knight hurriedly said: "You said, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it!"

Jimmy said: "I want the dirty information and evidence you have about all the senior partners. To be honest, you have made me very insecure this time. My dirty information is already in your hands, so I must know it too." Other people�s dirty information gives me a little sense of security.�

Knight thought for a while and said with some caution: "Jimmy, if this information is leaked, it will greatly affect the internal stability and unity of our law firm. Besides, your matter is covered by the Rothschild family, even if it is leaked. There will definitely be no problems, so don�t feel insecure because of this..."

Jimmy raised his hand to interrupt him and said seriously: "This is my request. If you can agree, we will go to the company to meet with the board members. If you can't agree, then take the trouble to send me home directly. I will Then go to the company to complete the termination agreement.�

How dare Knight ask Jimmy to terminate his contract with the law firm at this time? If Steve Rothschild thought that he had deliberately fired him, wouldn't it mean that he would be left with nothing to lose?

Now that I think about Steve Rothschild, the only way is to satisfy Jimmy and let him put aside his past grudges. As long as he can do this, he and the law firm can be temporarily safe.

Thinking of this, Knight asked Jimmy directly: "Jimmy, you don't want to expose this information to the person involved, do you?" JrNovels.com
