The Amazing son in law Chapter 6838
“`html
After a grueling twelve-hour journey, Jimmy touched down at New York’s Kennedy Airport, his heart racing with anger. Awaiting him was his boss, Knight, who had the option agreement in hand.
Not a single moment of sleep had graced Jimmy since his return; his mind was consumed with one thought: how to exact revenge on his boss, Knight, who he believed was lacking in integrity.
Ellis Law Firm boasted an annual net profit of approximately 500 million US dollars. Knight, as the founder and primary shareholder, stood to gain at least 150 million US dollars. Jimmy meticulously calculated the combined annual salary, bonuses, and shares of the ten most talented individuals at the firm, which totaled around 100 million US dollars. Although these ten staff members accounted for only 20% of the firm’s profit, their contributions represented a staggering 80% or more of the firm’s overall output.
With Steve, the imperial court’s sword, in his grasp, Jimmy was determined to recruit all ten of the firm’s top performers, leaving Knight with nothing.
If these ten individuals departed Ellis, the firm’s revenue for the following year would likely plummet by at least half.
What was even more alarming was that, despite no longer generating value for Ellis, the firm would still be obligated to pay them their full salaries, which would drain another 100 million from Ellis’s profits next year. This meant that Ellis could very well find itself operating at a loss in the coming year.
Yet, Jimmy was convinced that this wasn’t enough to satisfy him.
He wanted Knight to face even greater repercussions.
Thus, he spent the twelve hours plotting an exceptionally devious plan.
As he emerged from the airport, exhaustion evident in his dark-circled eyes, Knight approached him, visibly excited. He quickly draped his arm around Jimmy’s shoulder, exclaiming, “Jimmy, it’s great to have you back!”
Worried that Jimmy might cause a scene, Knight promptly produced a document from his briefcase and presented it to him. “Inside, you’ll find two agreements. One is an approval letter for your board membership, and the other is an agreement for additional options. Conservatively speaking, this option agreement could yield you an extra 5 million US dollars annually. Consider this a gesture from me as your boss. I hope you can put the past behind us.”
Calmly, Jimmy nodded and inquired, “Have the other directors agreed to my board membership?”
Knight quickly replied, “I haven’t discussed it in detail with them yet, but I’m confident that if I strongly recommend you, they won’t object. Most of these directors are early investors who have profited significantly from the firm’s dividends over the years, so they won’t dare to oppose my suggestion.”
Knight continued, “If you’re feeling tired, I can take you home to rest. If not, we can head straight to the office where the board members are eager to meet you.”
With a cool demeanor, Jimmy responded, “Let’s go to the office first.”
