The Amazing son in law Chapter 6861

After multiple interactions with Charlie, Steve began to grasp the subtle art of influencing others.

Sometimes, advancing means moving forward, and retreating means stepping back; however, there are occasions when advancing can also mean retreating, and retreating can signify progress.

Recently, Steve had proactively volunteered to cover the salaries of the employees, a classic example of retreating to advance. While his gesture was courteous, Knight’s offer to cover all expenses was genuine and heartfelt.

At that moment, Knight felt a surge of excitement.

The cause for his enthusiasm was the distinguished Mr. Rothschild’s courteous demeanor towards him, his advocacy on Knight’s behalf, and his unbiased perspective, which left Knight feeling quite flattered.

Moreover, although Rothschild lacked a deep understanding of Chinese social dynamics, he excelled at creating enticing prospects.

No one creates opportunities quite like the Rothschild family. Their allure is so captivating that even the President of the United States would be impressed, let alone someone like Knight Ellis.

Steve was well aware that Knight’s aspirations extended beyond merely establishing a premier law firm in the United States.

Ultimately, many legal professionals harbor ambitions of entering politics.

Whether it’s running for a seat in the Senate, the governor’s office, or even the presidency, individuals with legal backgrounds often find it easier to navigate the political landscape compared to their non-legal counterparts.

Thus, Steve subtly encouraged Knight to redirect his focus towards higher ambitions rather than getting bogged down by employee matters.

This advice inspired Knight to some extent, but he also recognized it as an excellent opportunity to strengthen his relationship with Steve. Having a prominent figure like Steve personally suggest a resolution was indeed a significant honor, so Knight was keen to show his appreciation.

As for the question of who would finance the salaries of these employees, Knight had moved beyond that concern.

A law firm might generate a few hundred million dollars annually, but the realm of politics offers far greater potential. The influence and power associated with political office cannot be measured in mere financial terms.

In the United States, the passage of any legislation can open doors to enormous business opportunities worth billions. Lawyers often observe such scenarios from the sidelines, unable to participate fully. Only by stepping into the political arena can they hope to seize a piece of that lucrative pie.

With such ambitious goals in mind, the salaries for these ten individuals seemed trivial to Knight.

Even if Ellis faced financial challenges in the future, successfully entering politics would make this investment worthwhile.

Moreover, he believed he had captured Steve’s attention. If he executed this task well, he was certain that Steve would become an invaluable ally in his career.

Understanding Knight’s thoughts, Steve smiled and remarked, “Knight, you’ve truly impressed me.”

Upon hearing this, Knight’s enthusiasm was palpable, prompting Steve to address the team behind Jimmy. “Everyone, let me be clear. As long as you heed my advice, I believe Knight will overlook the previous missteps you made. However, if you wish to emerge from this situation without any repercussions, that would be overly optimistic. So, are you willing to accept my proposal and remain in China to work for me?”

Without hesitation, everyone nodded in agreement.

For them, given that avoiding consequences was impossible, this solution was the best outcome. It ensured they wouldn’t be betrayed by Knight, their salaries would be secure, and they could forge valuable connections with Steve, thereby enhancing their own networks. The fact that this issue could be resolved so favorably exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Seeing that everything was progressing smoothly, Steve smiled and stated, “In that case, let’s finalize the arrangement. Knight, I’ll give them two weeks to return to the United States to prepare. In the meantime, you should work swiftly to align their current tasks with available resources during this period. I trust that you board members were all skilled lawyers in your past roles. Now, with personnel shortages, we need everyone to step up and take charge of the business. Additionally, you should implement an internal selection process to delegate some responsibilities to the younger talent. Who knows? Some outstanding individuals might emerge under the pressure.”
