Chapter 54: A Born Conspirator
Little Kelly made a joke with an old acquaintance, and the conversation changed to the point, "Gentlemen, can anyone tell me how many lawsuits the U.S. Department of Justice initiates each year, and the SEC?" What is the budget for the litigation segment, and how much of it is for us? ”
Before a group of lawyers could react, the SEC commissioner, who had never spoken up, had their eyes lit up and raised their hands: "I think Mr. Kelly should apply for a review of the SEC's annual budget statement, this is your legitimate right, and I think we will respect it." ”
He knew that if Kelly's idea worked, they could have an effective means of dealing with harassment from the Justice Department.
Wall Street is the territory of the SEC, and whether Kelly Brothers will be punished or not, of course, is up to the SEC, and an outsider in the Department of Justice always comes to harass him.
If you can make a honeypot to lure the budget of the Department of Justice into it, presumably the members will be more than happy to share the share of the pleasure, of course, who is the honeypot has the final say in the SEC, and it is not too late to discuss it after dealing with Kelly Brothers.
Little Kelly nodded secretly, sure enough, they were all conspirators, and as soon as he said a word or two, the guy next to him already understood.
When he saw that there were still many lawyers in the group below who didn't understand, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
Unlike Wall Street's apprenticeship and godfather-to-child inheritance, there are too many law schools in the United States, and lawyers are really flooded with disappointment, and such professional quality will drag down Wall Street's global action, and sooner or later it will cause shortcomings in legal support.
When it comes to international occasions, who in other countries recognize your relationship in the east as the children of a family of lawyers who inherit their father's business or the so-called senior lawyers who are of mixed quality and quality?
Little Kelly was disappointed in his heart, but he was silent on the surface, settled down, and said with a smile: "It's very simple, we don't need to win, and of course we can't lose, drag it on, keep running out the annual budget they prepared for us, increase the redundancy of the evidence chain, and turn it into a long lawsuit that costs taxpayers countless money." ”
After a pause, he added, "I think we can make a table of the Ministry of Justice's budget for us, and each hundredth of a percent is a target, and the independent lawyer or the lawyer of the representative firm will bid for it, and for every point they knock out, they will get an extra little dessert, which must be able to arouse your interest." ”
"Jack, you are so cunning, you are not only delaying the lawsuit, but also afraid that we will delay."
Joe spoke out with disdain and broke little Kelly's mind, the longer the lawsuit, the more attorney fees of course, the little guy said on the surface that a long lawsuit was just to calm their hearts, but in fact, the core purpose was to exhaust the Justice Department's litigation budget against the Kelly brothers.
If one day can be lightened, then the next day little Kelly will turn his face and stop paying, and the interests of their lawyers will be damaged.
"Yes, our interests must be guaranteed." There are also smart people below, and as soon as they think about it, someone immediately responds.
Little Kelly spread his hands and looked helpless: "We are a small company, unless we get the support of all members, we will drag the Ministry of Justice with a single company, and we must be dragged to death in the end." ”
"I propose the formation of a joint lawyers' group, which is not a matter for Mr. Kelly's family, but to defend the rights of the entire Wall Street, which is the duty of patriots, and the highest honor of the American spirit of freedom."
Someone immediately came to their senses, yes, if the whole of Wall Street supported such an action, the support would be unlimited.
As long as everyone agrees, once it drags on, the lawyer's fee will be astronomical, of course Kelly's company alone can't, that's only a few dollars, of course, the more clients, the better, it's best to do it together.
The SEC commissioner was helpless, didn't this group of fools realize that they had been following Kelly's train of thought.
This is to pull the whole Wall Street into the rhythm of the water, how can he do the master, he can only hand over the problem.
Originally, I came to audit the attitude of the Kelly brothers, but I didn't expect the greedy big Kelly to have such a sinister brother, and in a few words, the crisis of the Kelly company was transferred to the entire Wall Street, and the problem of the Kelly company was postponed.
A group of lawyers who were agitated were waiting for a large check with green eyes, and they would definitely love the Kelly Brothers Company as if they were their own eyeballs, and if the Kelly Company lost, the lawsuit would be over, and the lawyer's fees would be gone, how could this be lost.
Passing on the crisis, by the way, the Kelly Company was picked out, and in turn it formed an alliance with the lawyers' group, and then the lawyers' fees were passed on, and the budget of the Ministry of Justice was booby-trapped with everyone's money, which in turn increased the reputation of the Kelly Company.
One ring after another, sure enough, it was his own style, the SEC commissioner stood up, glanced at little Kelly meaningfully, tidied up his clothes, and then went out without saying a word.
An agreement was reached, and the lawyers went out to say goodbye and join the assistants they had brought, and the Kelly brothers shook hands one by one and said goodbye.
After sending off a group of scum who signed a contract with the devil and charged a signing fee, the Kelly brothers returned to the office.
Big Kelly took two flat glasses from the cupboard, took out half a bottle of whiskey, poured a third, and handed it to his brother.
Little Kelly took the wine glass, looked curiously around the office with a big face, walked to a sketch of "City" hanging on the wall with great interest, took a sip of wine and asked, "Where did you shoot the great work?" ”
"The customer expressed his gratitude, why didn't you ask how much?" Big Kelly licked his lips and smiled.
"I'd like to ask how he drew it when there was no aerial photography."
Little Kelly was amazed while watching, and tilted his head and glanced at his brother with disdain, "There are too many Da Vinci sketches, they can't be sold at a price, and the return on investment ratio is not as good as the top works, which is most suitable for people who can't afford sky-high collectibles but like to collect names, such as you, Mike." ”
Big Kelly shrugged: "It's not that I can't afford it, it's that our queen has used all the money to buy machines, you can go downstairs and take a look later, it's all made into a Finnish bath by that idiot, and the electricity bill burns like rocket fuel." ”
"Queen? That Morris you mentioned? ”
Little Kelly looked quite strange, "Why are you talking on the phone, is our company still selling bonds, you won't connect with the Armenians, right?" ”
"Of course it was sold, but it was a side business, and our current main business is very enviable to our peers."
Big Kelly proudly said, "Robbing Wall Street." ”
"Poof!"
Little Kelly squirted out a sip of wine and coughed repeatedly, "What? ”
"I was about to ask for your opinion, Jack."
Big Kelly placed his glass on the table and his expression turned serious, "Would you like to join my organization and become my attendant?" I have been ordered by my superiors to make a special summons to you. ”
Little Kelly clenched his fists and gagged his mouth, coughing and opening his eyes wide, looking at his brother with the eyes of a psycho.
"Xiaojie, what I want to say to you next is very, very important, and it is related to the fate of our Kelly family for the next hundred years." A layer of martyr's piety appeared on Big Kelly's face, and he began to elaborate on his ins and outs with the Dragon Knights.
Big Kelly stopped talking for half an hour, just looking at his brother.
The brothers looked at each other speechlessly, each with different thoughts, and there was an eerie silence in the room.
"Wonderful handshake, another Duke of Normandy who got the Twin Lions Flying?" Jack Kelly muttered to himself.
Seeing that his brother's expression gradually calmed down, Big Kelly walked to the back of the desk and took a bag, handed it over, and said, "You take a look at this first, Lord Adrian Miller, and I will personally hear your answer in the evening." ”
"Your superior in the Knights?"
Little Kelly took the file bag.
"Yes, I am the direct midshipman of Lord Miller."
Big Kelly nodded proudly, "If you weren't my brother, Your Excellency Miller would have given up on you to go back to Europe, and you would have arrived a whole day late." ”
"I came by car."
Little Kelly replied casually, opened the file bag and took out the letter paper inside and looked at it, and after a while, his brows were already wrinkled, and the more he looked at it, the more puzzled he became, "... Asia, if I want to go to China, build an uncapped building in half a year, and also have a US Navy resort-style, structure... Club? G2, what does this mean, good... Double gold? Gold earnings? Company name or building name? ”
"The name of the fund registered by the company, also as the name of the building and the vacation club, the development of G2 is very imaginative, not a single fund can be summarized, if the income meets expectations, before the third quarter of next year, we will apply to the city council to change the name of the street and square in front of the building to G2, because we will buy the building, and name the same property around the world, never limit the imagination of G2." Big Kelly excitedly.
"You haven't told me what the name of G2 itself means? GOODGUY? ”
Little Kelly was very entangled, when people asked him the meaning of the company's name, how did he answer?
Big Kelly looked very clear and swore an oath, "Wall Street peers are speculating about the meaning of the name, but unfortunately the organization did not explain it, but after my serious analysis with that financial idiot, I think the meaning of Double G is that God chose Gabriel to inform the world of the birth of Jesus." Idiots think it's GOODGAME, you can't hope too much for the idiot's idea, can you? In the end, we unanimously confirmed that these were all organizational cover-ups, but in fact, the real attitude was GODamp; amp; GOD, very arrogant, but very apt, very imaginative name. ”
"Why not a G-2 like the G-7 top-level meeting?"
Little Kelly's heart was inexplicably moved, and his intuition was a bit similar.
"Are you kidding, after the collapse of the Bretton Woods system, you need to get a G-7 table to eat together, and kick two diners at a table, is the Soviet Union on top? Polar bears are over in a moment, it's over. ”
Big Kelly was dismissive of his brother's speculation, and he was adamant that the G2 Fund was on the same level as God, and that nothing else deserved to be on a par with the organization, not even the United States.
"Your wisdom is admirable, Mike, and I take back my opinion."
Little Kelly also felt that his brother was closer to the real answer, dispelled the unrealistic associations in his mind, and nodded approvingly, "I'll change into formal clothes and go to see Mr. Miller." ”
The two brothers agreed, touched the cup with a "ding", and drank the remnants of the wine in the cup with a smile on each other.
At the same time, a cargo ship full of containers slowly left its berth in San Pedro Bay and sailed out of the port of Los Angeles.
