It is about 60 kilometers away from the New York metropolitan area and even closer to the city of Stanford University. It is a beautiful plain composed of gentle hills and lakes.
Beautiful villa areas with a strong British style are dotted in this green plain, quiet and peaceful.
Armonk City is a traditional white residential area. About 10% of the residents are Asians. Occasionally, you can see a small number of black people, most of whom are not residents here.
New York City Seventh Judicial Circuit
This is a three-story building made of rock, which looks vicissitudes of life due to its age.
Attorney Mundell, the high-spirited vice president of the New York City Bar Association, and a group of people came out of the court and were immediately surrounded by a swarm of reporters, rushing to ask questions.
"Mr. Mundell, on behalf of the majority of the small and medium-sized shareholders of Atlantic Business Machines, when will the first trial of the case in which you sue the boss for taking advantage of the majority shareholder to misappropriate the interests of the small and medium-sized shareholders will be held for the first time?"
"We know that the amount of compensation you request is US$12.5 billion. What losses are this calculated based on?"
"Can you comment on Mr. Boss King, the richest man in the world?"
"Are you confident that you will win this lawsuit? Where does your confidence come from?"
Lawyer Mondale smiled and signaled everyone to be quiet, pointing at the two middle-aged white men with gloomy faces next to him; "I would like to introduce to my media friends, Atlantic Business Machines shareholders, Tamlin, the shareholder representative in this rights protection lawsuit.
Mr. and Mr. Arthur McCleman, they are the president and vice-president elected collectively by shareholders. They can speak on behalf of small and medium-sized shareholders and protect their legitimate rights and interests from infringement. They truly embody the principles of fairness, justice and freedom in American society.
.”
Tamlin;
The former chairman of the industrial union of Wang An Computer Company was fired by Atlantic Business Machines Company for violating regulations related to organizing union activities.
Although he has always been against the capital, Mr. Tamlin is highly optimistic about the future development of Atlantic Business Machines. Therefore, almost all of his net worth is invested in the company's stocks, worth more than 300,000 US dollars.
Arthur McCleman;
Tamlin's loyal assistant and industrial union activist took the lead in preventing workers from resuming production, preventing workers from signing union-exclusion contracts, and causing a riot at the IBM computer motherboard factory. He was charged and arrested for destroying other people's property and was sentenced to prison.
One year and two months in prison.
Although he has always been against the capital, Arthur McLeman is also highly optimistic about the future development of Atlantic Business Machines. Therefore, he invested US$22,000 in the company's stock.
"Mr. Tamlin, for what purpose are you suing Atlantic? Is it just money?"
"No, our struggle is the sacred right granted to every citizen by the Constitution." Tamlin seemed to be stimulated by the reporter's question, waving his fist and said, "No matter how much worth of stocks the shareholders hold, in the legal sense, the rights are
Equally, Atlantic Company has shamelessly misappropriated our interests. This is an evil act that cannot be tolerated. We have the right to take back what is ours."
"What do you think of Mr. World's Richest Man?"
Tamlin shrank his eyes and sneered with disgust; "Haha, he is a greedy guy who accumulated wealth by exploiting workers. There is sin in every piece of money. He took our money."
"Is it $12.5 billion?"
This unfriendly question caused a burst of laughter from the surrounding reporters.
Tamlin's cold face turned green and red, and he couldn't bear the provocation anymore. "Fuck you, which newspaper are you an idiot reporter from? I will sue you."
"For what reason are you suing me? Is it 12.5 billion U.S. dollars? Aren't you doing this now? What's wrong with my asking?"
Tamlin was angry; "Because your question was malicious and insulted my character."
Damn, this guy really wants to be a bitch and build an arch.
The reporters couldn't help but laugh out loud. The reporter who asked the question said nonchalantly: "Of course you have the right to sue me. I am Kemp Neville, a copywriter for the New York Times. Will you tell me tomorrow?"
"I saw a description of you getting angry and angry. To be honest, you are really a scumbag, uneducated and full of vulgarity."
"#%^&..." Tamlin was simply stunned.
Lawyer Mondale pushed Tamlin hard, blocking the rude words in his mouth, and faced the reporters with a smile;
"Gentlemen, after the preliminary investigation, the first court hearing will be held in two weeks. We will use strong evidence to defend our rights and interests. This time, this legal action is unprecedented in the history of the United States and will represent the return of justice and the law."
His dignity cannot be tarnished."
"The Atlantic Company shareholder rights protection lawsuit will be a landmark event for citizens' rights. In this regard, we have enough confidence to win the final victory."
"Relevant personal comments about the boss king are not within the scope of the case discussion, thank you!"
The group of people rushed out of the circle of reporters in a panic and got into cars one after another.
Lawyer Mondale stood at the door of the car, facing the reporters who gathered, and finally made a solemn statement on behalf of the client;
I believe that the fairness of the law will safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of small and medium-sized shareholders, and severely punish bully companies that infringe on the legitimate rights and interests of small and medium-sized shareholders. I believe that light will eventually come and justice will be upheld.
The reporters continued to ask questions;
"Lawyer Mundell, what you are saying is that... it would be dark and unjust if the court does not rule in a final victory of the case."
"Is your statement suspected of moral kidnapping?"
"Does your lawyer's agency contract have a vulture clause? Are you able to face your own heart? Is it bright and fair, in order to safeguard justice in the world?"
"If we win the case, will the huge compensation of US$12.5 billion be donated to society? Will we donate any amount or not at all? Have you ever thought about this issue?"
The car drove away in a hurry, leaving all the questions behind. The experienced Mundell lawyer shook his head helplessly, as if he wanted to throw away the reporters' sharp questions.
Heck, why else but money?
Sitting in the comfortable back seat, Lawyer Mondale straightened out his wrinkled suit and said with a frown;
"Mr. Tamlin, I repeatedly warned you in court to control your emotions and never conflict with reporters. God! It seems that you didn't fully listen to what I said."
"Fake, a bunch of extremely hateful guys, go and eat yourselves." Tamlin was still aggrieved.
"Did you forget something?" Lawyer Mondale looked serious; "Go back and rinse your dirty mouth, and don't curse in front of me. You are a worker from the lowest level of society, and your fingernails are all black.
Huhu."
Knocking on his briefcase, lawyer Mondale emphasized his tone: "The reason why you can sit here side by side with me is not because of how much power you have, or how many shares you hold, or what dazzling aura surrounds you?
We chose you as our shareholder representative. You idiot, wake up.
If you are not competent, we will have 100 reasons to replace you at any time, and you will go back to wandering the streets and venting worthless complaints in taverns.
Then, dress yourself up like a gay and pray for mercy from your next employer.
Finally, I solemnly warn you;
Although we are targeting his wallet, we must have some basic respect for the world's richest man. He is not something a despicable person like you can slander.
Do you understand, idiot?"
This stormy reprimand made Tamlin completely fall from the fluttering clouds, and he saw his true identity clearly. He nodded with a pale face;
"I'm sorry, sir, I will definitely pay attention."
"You'd better show your value. This is a list of shareholders and their addresses. I hope you and your lackeys will visit one by one to obtain their authorization and let more shareholders join our team.
"
"I will definitely do it well. Well...what if they don't agree to the terms of the contract?"
Lawyer Mondale looked up to the sky helplessly and sighed; "Oh my god, I really regret the decision I made before. What kind of idiot are you looking for?"
