Jimmy’s purpose of coming to China this time was to claim a portion of the Smith Law Firm’s equity.
The best thing is to force Paul and his mother and his wife to split the firm into two, the North American business is split to him, while the Asian business is left to Paul to do.
In his opinion, anyway, Paul and his mother Han Meicheng later to settle in China, North American business to stay in the hands of the grasp, to their own is also considered to be the return of the original owner.
Of course, he is also very clear in his heart, Smiths Law Firm, although hung with the name of the Smiths family, but it is also true that Han Meicheng and his brother do up little by little, the old man naturally provides a certain amount of help, but that whether from the emotional level or from the legal level, are far from enough to invest in, if he really sued want to split a part of Smiths Law Firm’s shareholding, the world’s judges are not possible to support.Support.
So he learnt that Han Meichen is going to get married, he thought, why not take advantage of Han Meichen to get married this time to China to make a mess, if you can force the widow and orphan to break the money, it is the best, anyway, they are widows and orphans, want to so much money is not much use.
Han Meiqing naturally know his intentions, in fact, she chose to bring Paul to China after the death of her husband, the fundamental reason is also because after the death of her husband, the Smith family is always thinking about their law firm.
The Smith family people do not feel that they have this kind of eating extinct family mentality has any problems, they feel that, in itself, is the property of their own family, and now their elder brother died, can not be a foreign name or even foreign women just take away.
What’s more, although Paul is the descendant of the Smith family, but he chose to stand with his mother, naturally, he is also not willing to put his parents hard work to build the foundation by a few uncles to divide, so it is determined to choose to move with his mother from the U.S. to live in Huaxia, and even move the law firm from the U.S. also moved over.
The thing that his mother was going to get married, Paul did not tell the Smith family, but somehow the news leaked out, and as a result, uncle Jimmy flew over at a stuck point.
Han Meiqing saw him make a scene for a while, and finally dropped the topic on the equity of Smith Law Firm, so she said with a cold expression, “Since you don’t stray away from the equity of Smith Law Firm in three words, then I’ll break this matter with you properly;”
Speaking here, Han Meiqing cleared her throat and continued, “Smith Law Firm, which my late husband and I spent decades of effort to establish, has a very simple shareholding structure;”
“We each held 50% of the shares at the earliest, and then the law firm grew bigger and bigger, with many lawyers joining one after another, so we took out a total of 30% of the shares to incentivise outstanding lawyers in the firm who had made great contributions and were promoted to partner;”
“Now that 30 per cent is in the firm’s option pool, and apart from that 30 per cent, the remaining 70 per cent, my late father and I each hold 35 per cent;”
“In accordance with his living will, after his death, his shareholding was split 50/50 between me and my son Paul, so now the shareholding structure of Smiths Solicitors is: there is 30% in the option pool, I hold 52. 5%, Paul holds 17. 5%, and we’ve grown all the way up to the present day, and we haven’t taken any investment from any investment banking organisation, or from a fund, or from an individual;”
“So, there is not a single bit of equity in this that belongs to the so-called Smith family, so what happens to these shares, and you, and the so-called Smith family have nothing to do with it either.”
