After Steve had contact with Ye Chen several times, he understood the Eastern technique of controlling people.
Sometimes, advancement is advancement and retreat is retreat, but sometimes advancement is retreat and retreat is advancement.
Just now, he offered to bear the salary of these people, which was a standard way of taking advantage of retreat, so he and Knight were just being polite, but Knight’s offer to bear all the costs was sincere.
At this moment, Knight could be said to be quite excited.
There was no other reason. He was flattered that the distinguished Mr. Rothschild was so polite to him, spoke for him, and favored him rationally.
What’s more, although Rothschild didn’t understand the Chinese way of life, he knew how to draw cakes.
No one is better at drawing cakes than the Rothschild family. When they draw cakes, even the President of the United States will feel excited, let alone a mere Knight Ellis.
Steve knew that Knight’s ambition must not only be to become one of the top law firms in the United States.
The ultimate goal of every legal elite is actually to enter politics.
Running for Congress, governor, or even president, as long as you have a legal background, it will definitely be easier than ordinary politicians.
Therefore, he deliberately reminded Knight in a subtle way to focus his energy on higher areas instead of focusing on these employees.
On the one hand, Knight was indeed inspired. On the other hand, he also felt that this was a good opportunity to get closer to Steve. It was rare for a big man like Steve to personally propose a solution to him. This in itself was a great honor. , so of course I have to give him enough face.
As for who pays these people, Knight no longer cares.
Starting a law firm, earning hundreds of millions of dollars a year is the ceiling.
But once you enter the political arena, it’s not just a matter of hundreds of millions of dollars. The power behind it is difficult to measure in terms of money.
In the United States, the entry into force of any bill may contain huge business opportunities worth tens of billions of dollars. I have been a lawyer for a long time and have seen too many such cases with my own eyes, but I can only come in as a tourist to have a look. If you touch and take a look, you will never be able to truly enter it and become a trader. Only by entering the political arena can you have a chance to get a share of the pie.
Therefore, with the support of this ambitious goal, the salary of the ten people in front of him is nothing to Knight.
Even if Ellis doesn’t make any money in the future, as long as he can successfully enter politics, the deal will be worth it.
What’s more, he seems to have gained Steve’s admiration. If this matter is done well today, he feels that Steve will definitely become a noble person in his life in the future.
Steve naturally knew what Nate was thinking, so he smiled and said, “Nate, you really impressed me.”
