Chapter 6240
Charlie nodded, “Then it’s mainly about the wedding, right?”
“Yes.” Jimmy took the opportunity to back off and nodded, saying,
“My sister-in-law is the co-founder of Smith Law Firm and is worth more than 100 million US dollars.”
“It’s no problem for her to get married,”
“But if the other party has no money and no status,”
“Then he is just a gigolo, right?”
“Maybe after a while of marriage,”
“The little property my brother left for my sister-in-law will all be given to him!”
At this time, Meiqing and Pollard, who had been welcoming guests outside,
Heard the noise inside and hurried in.
Just when she heard Jimmy mocking Pollard for being a gigolo, Meiqing angrily shouted,
“Jimmy, if you really want to attend the wedding, stay.”
“If you have other intentions, please leave.”
“I don’t want to talk to you about the equity and business issues of the firm today.”
“If you want to talk, let’s talk about it tomorrow!”
Jimmy snorted and laughed, “Sister-in-law, you married into our Smith family,”
“And our whole family treats you well, right?”
“Apart from anything else, just the fact that the whole family is learning Chinese for you shows how much we value you.”
“It is because we care about you that we care more about whether you live a good life after your second marriage.”
“From my current observation, your future husband is simply unable to provide you with a good material foundation.”
“Maybe he is even eyeing the Smith Law Firm!”
Meiqing said coldly, “You keep talking about the Smith Law Firm.”
“Who is eyeing the firm? I don’t need to tell you who is eyeing the firm!”
Jimmy immediately said, “Sister-in-law,”
“You just said that we can’t talk about equity and business issues today,”
“So we can talk about this tomorrow.”
“Okay!” Meiqing said immediately,
“Then please stop criticizing my husband.”
“We have already obtained a marriage certificate and are a legal couple recognized by the local law!”
Jimmy was a little annoyed when he heard this and said,
“Sister-in-law, shouldn’t you have informed us before you got the certificate?”
“We certainly respect your right to marriage autonomy,”
“But don’t forget that you still own half of the shares of Smith Law Firm!”
“What if your husband is really a gigolo and covets your half of the shares?”
Jimmy’s purpose in coming to China this time was to claim a part of the shares of Smith Law Firm.
It would be best to force Paul and his mother to split the firm into two,
Giving him all the North American business, and leaving the Asian business to Paul.
In his opinion, Paul and his mother Meiqing would settle in China anyway,
And they would not be able to control the North American business if they kept it in their hands,
So giving it to him would be like returning it to its original owner.
Of course, he knew very well that although the Smith Law Firm was named after the Smith family,
It was indeed built up bit by bit by Meiqing and his brother.
The old man naturally provided some help, but it was far from an investment,
Both in terms of reason and law.
If he really sued to divide a part of the shares of Smith Law Firm, no judge in the world would support it.
So after he learned that Meiqing was going to get married,
He thought, why not take advantage of Meiqing’s marriage to come to China to make a scene,
If he could force this orphan and widow to spend money to avoid disaster,
It would be great, anyway, they were an orphan and widow, so much money would be useless.
Meiqing naturally knew his intention.
In fact, she chose to bring Paul to China after her husband’s death.
The fundamental reason was that after her husband’s death,
The Smith family always had their eyes on their law firm.
The Smith family did not think that there was anything wrong with their mentality of eating up the family’s property.
They felt that it was their family’s property.
Now that their eldest brother had passed away,
It could not be taken away by a woman of a different surname or even a different race.
More importantly, although Paul was a descendant of the Smith family,
He chose to stand with his mother.
Naturally, he did not want his parents’ hard-earned foundation to be divided up by several uncles,
So he resolutely chose to move to China from the United States with his mother,
And even moved the law firm from the United States.
Paul did not tell the Smith family about his mother’s marriage,
But somehow the news leaked out, and as a result, Jimmy flew over on time.
Seeing that he had been making a fuss for a while, Meiqing finally brought the topic to the equity of Smith Law Firm, so she said coldly:
“Since you can’t stop talking about the equity of Smith Law Firm,”
“Then I will talk to you about this matter;”
At this point, Meiqing cleared her throat and continued:
“Smith Law Firm was established by my late husband and me after decades of hard work,”
“And the equity structure is also very simple;”
“We each held 50% of the shares at the beginning.”
“Later, the law firm grew bigger and bigger,”
“And many lawyers joined one after another,”
“So we took out a total of 30% of the equity to motivate outstanding lawyers who have made great contributions to the firm and have been promoted to partners;”
“Now that 30% of the equity is in the firm’s option pool.”
“In addition to that 30%, the remaining 70%, my late father and I each hold 35%;”
“According to his will, after his death, his shares will be divided equally between me and my son Paul,”
“So the current equity structure of Smith Law Firm is: the option pool has 30%, I hold 52.5%, and Paul holds 17.5%.”
“We have been developing all the way to now without any investment from any investment bank, fund or individual;”
“So, none of these shares belong to the so-called Smith family,”
“So- how these shares are disposed of has nothing to do with you or the so-called Smith family.”
