Chapter 1258 Dividends

"At the meeting of the board of directors, a respectable gentleman proposed to use the stocks and bonds issued by the company to offset part of the cash dividends that should be paid to you."

Having said that, Joseph Adams glanced at Joan intentionally or unintentionally.

The thoughtful glance of Mr. Adams made Joann's heart move slightly, and he immediately guessed that the director who made the suggestion was probably Mrs. Josephine's old friend on the board of directors of the Colonial Company.

The countess promised to help Joan and his friends fight for the benefits they deserved, and she must have done what she said.

Although the plan proposed by this gentleman is not to pay dividends in cash, it is already the most generous and feasible plan for Joan and the others.

"Unfortunately, however, this honest proposal failed to pass the vote of the board of directors and was eventually rejected."

"To put it bluntly, the amount of money is really too big. It's so big that the old men on the board of directors feel pained, and they are unwilling to fulfill the contract signed with the Klein prospecting team."

"If you really want to stick to the words of the contract, to be honest, the board of directors can indeed find reasons for refusing to perform the contract. For example, there is a dispute over the discovery right of the mining area. The dwarf prospecting team hired by the Jotunheim Colonial Company claimed that they were more than The dwarves discovered this vein earlier."

Adams sighed.

"As a lawyer, I have to tell you responsibly that if this lawsuit continues, you will only lose. Instead of getting a copper coin, you will have to pay the employer a large amount of liquidated damages."

Joan and his friends looked at each other, they were all shocked!

There are such ridiculous things that reverse black and white in the world!

"Uncle Joseph, is it too unreasonable for the company to do this?!"

Hailar slapped the table angrily.

"Reasonable? Sorry, the board of directors only needs to spend one-tenth of the dividends that should be paid to you to recruit all the most famous lawyers in the entire New World to form an all-star team. Are you sure you want to be with us? Do professionals who rely on 'reasoning' to make a living go to court?"

A playful smile curled up on Adams' lips.

"This...it's abominable!" Hailaer had to make a concession, but he was unwilling, "Uncle Joseph, stop playing around in circles, and tell us the truth, what do the group of 'iron cocks' on the board of directors think? ?”

"That's not enough."

Mr. Adams smiled and pushed a plate of chocolate pudding in front of the angry girl, signaling her to calm down and calm down.

"After discussion, the board of directors proposed a plan to pay the Klein prospecting team 400,000 Gold Duga rewards. In addition, Hailar, Mr. Vida and the two Highnesses of Zion, each of you can get 100,000 A reward from Wanjin Durga."

Mr. Adams took a puff of his pipe, and then said: "Klein Stove has accepted this plan, now it depends on what you want, if you have any other requirements, you may wish to ask them in person, and I, as the attorney, will be responsible for you Response to the Board of Directors."

"We and Brother Klein's prospecting team could have received a total of 5 million dividends, but now they were cut down to only 800,000. We lost a lot on this business!"

Hailar complained unconvinced.

However, complaints are complaints, and she is not ignorant of the general situation, knowing that she has no bargaining chips.

Moreover, Klein, as the head of the prospecting team, has accepted the compromise plan, indicating that he would rather take less money than make things worse.

Under the current situation, Hailaer is very clear that it is meaningless for him to continue to fight, and it may even cause dissatisfaction with Klein and others. He is worried that he will be implicated by her. They couldn't get it, and even their lives were in danger.

Sighing helplessly, Hailar's pretty face couldn't hide his depression, and he turned to look at the three friends beside him.

"What do you guys think of this solution, should we accept it?"

Audrey and her younger brother looked at each other, and then observed Joan's expression. Seeing him nodding slightly, she felt confident and calmly expressed her opinion.

"Halal, I know you are unhappy and feel wronged, but we have to face the reality, and at the same time, we should understand the difficulties of the employer."

"As Mr. Adams said, there is a legal dispute over our right to discover the super-large magic crystal vein."

"It's hard to say whether it was the Nidaville dwarf prospecting team to which we belonged that discovered this ore vein first, or the Sudri gnome prospecting team hired by the Phi real people first discovered the ore vein."

"Now both sides are arguing about this, and it may even lead to diplomatic disputes and even armed conflicts between the two major powers."

"How can it be so easy to mine a disputed mine? If you want to profit from it, you must invest a huge cost. The cost of recruiting mercenaries and maintaining security in the mining area is not a small sum."

"With our strength alone, we can't deal with these disputes at all. It's better to get rid of this time bomb before the situation deteriorates. The follow-up affairs will be taken over by the colonial company, and all troubles will be handled by the company, so as to save you worry and effort."

"It's true that we failed to get the dividends agreed in the contract, but compared to the labor we put in for the exploration of the veins, I think 100,000 Gold Durga is quite a lot. The most important thing is to get it as soon as possible."

After listening to her analysis, Hailaer reluctantly nodded.

Seeing that she had been convinced by herself, Audrey turned to look at Joseph Adams.

"Mr. Adams, the four of us can accept the price offered by the board of directors, but there is one thing I must explain."

"Please speak, Your Highness."

"In addition to the four of us, there is also a dwarf mage named Belling who joined the prospecting team halfway and also contributed to the discovery of the super-large magic crystal vein. He should receive a reward."

"Mr. Adams, please tell the gentlemen of the board of directors not to ignore the remuneration that Belling deserves."

As far as personal friendship is concerned, Audrey and Belling cannot be said to have a deep friendship.

Due to her personality, she didn't like Belling's way of being too noisy and wandering on the edge of death all day long.

However, as a paladin, she never confuses personal likes and dislikes with moral principles.

It doesn't matter whether her personal friendship with Belling is deep or shallow, the important thing is to be reasonable and have a clear conscience.

Belling has made an irreplaceable contribution to the prospecting team. Everyone else has money to take it, and he cannot be the only one who is short of his share.

Since the board of directors ignored this point, Audrey felt that she was obliged to speak out for Belling and try her best to help him fight for the benefits he deserved.
