After Jimmy finished reading these materials, he opened his mouth and said to Knight, “I am indeed very grateful that you are willing to let me into the board of directors, however, I personally feel that if it is only 100,000 shares of options, it is still quite a bit lower than what I expected.”
Saying that, Jimmy added, “Moreover, you have underestimated my loyalty, you have only prepared a five-year contract for me, yet I want to work for Ellis for another ten years!”
Jimmy was thinking very clearly now, originally Ye Chen didn’t give himself a penny, letting himself go to China to help out was the same as cutting off all of his income, and he and his family had to sit on the sidelines, but later on, Ye Chen kind of opened up a can of worms for himself, and he asked Steve to give himself an endorsement to make sure that during these ten years in the future, the Ellis Law Firm would still continue to pay him, and also left him with 30% of theshare.
In other words, if he wanted to earn more money in the next 10 years, he had to make the Ellis side of the salary base as big as possible, and the bigger the better.
Precisely because of this, he deliberately said continue to work for Ellis ten years of ideas, anyway, he is going to China for ten years can not escape, and from the legal point of view, he was sent by Ellis, salary is also Ellis give, that is the same as the next ten years, and Ellis is still the employment relationship, so simply take advantage of the opportunity to use as a bargaining chip.
He went to China this time is also considered to understand, this society is a huge food chain, even if it is Steve Rothschild like people, but also to be Ye Chen as food, not to mention their own such a small person.
So, as Ye Chen treats himself as food, he himself treats Nate Ellis as food.
Nate’s heart was mixed when he heard Jimmy’s statement.
The happy one was that keeping Jimmy, should not be a problem anymore, after all, Jimmy was all willing to sign a ten year contract with the company, in that case, he himself would not offend Steve Rothschild.
And he is worried that Jimmy is not satisfied with the annual five or six million option dividends, which means that he will have to bleed further.
After thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth, “Jimmy, let’s put it this way, if you are willing to sign a 10-year agreement with the group, then I can raise the option to 150,000 shares for you.”
Jimmy waved his hand, “5 years to 10 years doubled, then you should at least double me, 200,000 options, in addition to the base salary should be doubled, if you guys have no problem, you can come out with the contract now, I’ll sign it on the spot, if you guys have a problem, then we don’t have to chat much, just give me my departure, I’m leaving!”
Nate was depressed to the core when he heard this.
Options doubled, which means that at least 10 million dollars per year to be divided to Jimmy, if the base salary doubled again, it will be another additional expenditure of at least two million, so that every year the light to Jimmy’s share of the money, it will be more than 20 million!
And Jimmy at this time is also the same in the heart of the calculation of their future income, he secretly thought: “If according to the annual dividends of 200 million U.S. dollars to calculate, two hundred thousand shares of options should be able to share twelve million, the base salary doubled is four million U.S. dollars, plus my previous as a senior partner of the option dividends, after removing the performance of the commission, there is almost a eighteen million U.S. dollars. ”
“This eighteen million US dollars, Ye Chen took 70%, I left 30%, there is also more than five million US dollars, but also enough for the family’s daily expenses.”
When he thought of this, he suddenly realised something else: “Not right! If I take away ten senior partners from Ellis, then the core backbone of Ellis will be drained, and whether it can still make a profit next year is a problem, how can I still have money to take out dividends? And then, wouldn’t you be left with a base salary of $4 million? By then it would only be a million and two hundred thousand a year in hand!”
