The Amazing son in law Chapter 6839

The board members of Ellis Law Firm were already gathered in the high-level meeting room, waiting eagerly.

They were aware of Jimmy’s connection with the Rothschild family, which made them take him seriously. Both those who frequently visited New York and those who seldom did arrived early, eager to wait.

This situation felt akin to a lesser family in a feudal kingdom, one that was far removed from royal status, suddenly finding a beautiful girl granted the title of Changzai by the emperor.

It was as if the entire family finally had someone whose voice could reach the emperor. Everyone hoped she might perform a “Zhen Huan Zhuan” in the palace, ascending from Changzai to queen, which would bring glory to the whole family.

Even Ellis shared this sentiment.

His desire to appease Jimmy was just one part of his strategy. To him, winning over Jimmy was essential, but the real challenge lay in how to encourage Jimmy to contribute even more to Ellis Law Firm afterward.

When Jimmy and Ellis arrived in Manhattan to meet with all the board members, the meeting room erupted into enthusiastic applause. Every gaze was fixed on Jimmy with admiration, conveying a clear message: from this moment forward, you are the village’s hope.

Jimmy surveyed the directors, who typically held themselves with an air of superiority, now eagerly trying to win his favor. His heart swelled with emotion, recognizing the immense influence the Rothschild family wielded in the United States, enough to make the so-called elite bow down.

As the applause subsided, Knight Ellis proudly declared, “I have invited everyone here today to share my decision publicly: I formally nominate Mr. Jimmy Smith as a member of the board of directors of Ellis Law Firm. All 11 current board members are in agreement, so we will hold a vote right now. Please raise your hands if you support my nomination.”

As soon as he finished speaking, all ten directors raised their right hands without hesitation. One of them even exclaimed impatiently, “Chairman, an employee as valuable as Jimmy should be quickly brought onto the board. Additionally, our option agreement has been prepared for some time; let’s get Jimmy to sign it right away.”

Knight nodded and retrieved the contract, addressing Jimmy: “Here you go, Jimmy. This is the option agreement we’ve prepared. Following discussions and decisions by the board, you will be granted 100,000 options in the company, which amounts to about 3% of the total shares. These options will vest in 5 years. As long as you remain with us for that period, you can hold these options permanently. Moreover, once you sign this agreement, you will be entitled to dividends from the 100,000 options. Currently, the annual dividend is around 200 million US dollars, and the option dividend could add another 5 to 6 million US dollars each year.”

Rather than reviewing the contract, Jimmy responded seriously, “We can discuss the contract later. What I need to see right now is the compromising information on all the senior partners at Ellis. Provide me with everything you’ve got, and then we can continue our discussions. If not, just prepare the termination agreement.”

The room fell silent as everyone exchanged glances, but Knight quickly broke the tension with a smile, saying, “That’s straightforward. Since Jimmy is soon to be a board member, these secrets should be shared with him.”

He then pulled out an Apple laptop from his briefcase, powered it on, and explained to Jimmy, “Now that you’re one of us, let me outline how we operate. Each year, we offer numerous internship opportunities to top law graduates across the United States, aiming to identify promising talents to join our firm. When new talents arrive, we conduct internal evaluations to categorize them. Those exhibiting exceptional potential are rated S-level, followed by A-level, B-level, C-level, and D-level. We typically select candidates from the S and A levels for admission.”
