Said, he from the briefcase, took out an Apple laptop, after opening, said to Jimmy: “Since you are their own, I may as well tell you our mode of operation, we provide a large number of internships to the nation’s top law graduates every year, in order to select from among them the potential talent to be absorbed into our firm, the talent in the coming in, we will conduct an internal rating, the potential is very high, the talent is very high, the talent is very high.We do an internal grading, and those with excellent potential, are graded S, then A, B, C, and D, and the range of acceptance values are selected within the two tiers of S and A;”
“It often takes five to ten years for a lawyer to gain experience, and for good performance we will give him a promotion and a pay rise, and for very good performance we will put him into the partner programme;”
“The partnership programme, as you know very well, is a salary and option incentive programme, and by entering the partnership programme, he becomes a prospective partner, and we will give him a higher salary package, and we will also give him a certain number of options, which will be progressively cashed out and progressively allowed to be exercised over a period of five to ten years, in order to bind him to stay at Ellis and to create a greater residual value for us. ”
Jimmy reached out and interrupted him, “All of this is a cliché, I mainly want to know how the blackmail part works, and specifically what blackmail you have on them.”
“Well ……,” Knight said awkwardly, “once a partner makes an outstanding contribution and is promoted to senior partner, we need to do a double take for the future, senior partners are very capable and have their own clientgroups, and their appetite will become bigger and bigger, they will ask for a higher percentage of options, and even ask to be on the board of directors to become a member of the board of directors, but our options are also limited, the maximum shares of a company is 100%, everyone wants to share a little, but ultimately the more they share the less they share, this will also lead to a group of senior partners to become disgruntled, so before they become disgruntled, we will give itcreate a series of opportunities to make mistakes;”
“The aim of our firm is to get every senior partner to make a mistake, to leave a handle on the mistake, it’s like buying a remote-controlled bomb on them, and it’s entirely up to the board whether they blow up or not, or when they blow up.”
Said Nate and brainwashed Jimmy: “Jimmy ah, this kind of thing you do not over-interpretation, in the future you are also a member of the board of directors, at that time you will know that those senior partners out there, in fact, is to make money for us as a tool, only if they do their job well and peacefully, for the law firm to create more profits and value, we people can rest easy.share a large amount of cash every year, in other words, those people are our oxen and horses, and we definitely need to tie them up with the best chains to prevent them from escaping.”
Jimmy nodded, “I understand what you’re saying, what I want to see now is the specific blackmail of these men.”
Nate said, “Don’t be in a hurry, I’ll pass all this information to you right now, but Jimmy, you must keep this information 100% confidential, you can’t let those people outside know about it, otherwise it will be a huge loss for us once they want to die with us.”
Saying that, Nate then sent some documents to Jimmy one after another.
Jimmy’s face became more and more ugly after reading these materials.
Those senior partners who were usually similar to himself had actually long been induced by various inducements over the past few years, leaving behind a large amount of illegal evidence, and almost every one of them had enough black materials to send him to prison and sentence him to more than 5 years, moreover, as long as these black materials were exposed, not only would they have to suffer from prison, they would also be permanently disqualified from continuing to work as lawyers.
