“..You are different from everyone else, Mr. Rand, you are sympathetic, please, can you help us?” A woman clutched Daniel tightly ·Rand’s hand, tearfully telling his own sadness.

Daniel Rand lightly patted the woman on the shoulder and said comfortingly: “We will solve this problem..”

“What an idiot!” Look After finishing the video above, Ward couldn’t help being fiercely cursed, he lifts the head looked towards Joey beside him, and the fluxered and exasperated asked: “Does he know what oneself is doing?”

“I believe he definitely doesn’t know anything.” Joey slightly shook the head and said: “But he represents the entire company, what are you going to do?”

This matter is very serious, the previous name The women, her sons and 14 other people with cancer each, filed a class action lawsuit against the RAND Group because they all live within 1.6 kilometers of the chemical plant in Staten Island, and it is the chemical plant’s emissions The chemical gas caused them to suffer from cancer.

In the face of such a class action lawsuit, in the face of such a huge claim, the RAND Group will not settle with them, because they have not violated any existing environmental laws and regulations, even if they found that the factory emissions and There is a connection between illnesses, and the RAND Group still abides by the law. In this case, it is the law that is really responsible, not the RAND Group. They cannot be responsible for the government’s rules and regulations.

In this case, even if Joey sympathizes with those people, he has to face them cruelly, because she knows that once she feels soft, the Rand Group will not only face huge amounts If they claim compensation, they will offend all their colleagues, also countless upstream and downstream enterprises.

Law of the United States has four sources, they are constitutional law, administrative law, statutory law and common law.

Common law is also called case law, because the United States courts inherit the principle of “follow precedent”, that is, the legal rules in a judgment not only apply to the case, but also often serve as a precedent It is applicable to cases under the jurisdiction of the court or lower courts in the future. As long as the basic abilities of the case are the same or similar, they must be handled in accordance with the rules set by the precedent.

Once the RAND Group is relieved in this case, countless similar cases afterwards can be used as precedents at one time. Many companies or groups similar to the RAND Group will have to pay huge compensations for this. , And the Rand Group as a precedent will be mentioned again and again and hated again and again.

Under this situation, it is difficult for the RAND Group to survive. It offends all companies in the United States, and the company’s upstream and downstream raw material supply and product output will be affected, and once the company’s performance The decline will affect the company’s stock price, so everyone will pounce fiercely and take a bite, and the existence of the RAND Group will become shaky or even collapse.

Of course, this is the worst case. Joey and Ward are trying their best to avoid this situation, but now this video of Daniel has become a weapon that the opponent can handle. , But Daniel has no idea that oneself has been filmed in the video and the serious consequences it may cause.

“We did not plan to reconcile before, and we will not reconcile now.” In this case, Ward stood up from behind his desk, poured oneself a glass of whiskey, and Very ruthless and said: “Especially they have to pay double compensation, which is simply blackmail.”

“They didn’t have any foothold before, now they have.” Joey took a breath, lightly saying: “The main shareholders of the RAND Group have taken the responsibility.”

“Yes!” Ward nodded heavily. The situation is indeed serious. After a moment of thought, he said, “We can come like this ,’Board of Directors members were deceived and forced to admit their negligence. Legally speaking, it is impossible to prove that the RAND Group is related to any patient’. We can win in court.”

From To some extent, when Daniel Rand met the woman, Daniel had no idea about the situation. He didn’t know what was the cause of the woman’s son suffering from cancer, nor did he know it was What mistake of the RAND group caused this disease to occur, and he did not know that a woman had just concluded negotiations with the RAND group. In this case, he could do his best to weaken the influence of the spread of the video.

“Nevertheless, this kind of case consumes many years.” Joey couldn’t help but worry a little.

“But it’s still cheaper than reconciliation.” Ward slightly shook the head, looking at Joey with some worry and sympathetic expression, and said: “Joey, these are obviously designed, I know you are a little guilty , But we can’t..”

“Ward, you don’t have to worry about me, I know what oneself should do.” Joey lifts the head, looking at Ward seriously and said: “I think you should worry more now It’s the public influence. Now this kind of video has just appeared on social media, and once it gets publicized..”

“Let me think about it.” Ward took a deep breath, which is indeed a must The place of concern, the RAND Group’s public image has been positive for many years. If the company’s good public image is damaged as a result, this is not what they want to see.

Seeing Ward’s tired look, Joey didn’t have much to say. She picked up the file and said, “I will ask Megan to summon the Board of Directors.”

Hearing Joey say that, Ward lifts the head, exhorted: “You have to make sure that the idiot also participates in the meeting.”

In this regard, Joey Bi did not agree very much, she shook the head and said : “Throwing Danny to the wolves will only make things worse.”

Ward means Joey understands that Daniel must take full responsibility for this matter, and Ward intends to throw Daniel on the Board of Directors. Go out and let him bear the blame from other shareholders of the Board of Directors. Although Daniel Rand has an absolute controlling interest of 51%, he must also guarantee the interests of the minority shareholder if his fault leads to other minority shareholders. If the shareholder’s interests are damaged, other minority shareholders can also sue according to the law.

Although Daniel Rand cannot be called an idiot in the specific business operation, he is not familiar with many things. If he is not careful, he will fall into the trap of others. If there is no support from Jerry Hogarth , His controlling stake is likely to be directly overcast.

Now Daniel Rand is still able to secure the position of oneself as a major shareholder. On the one hand, he has been in the company for a short time. On the other hand, he has the support of Joey and Ward in the company. Behind the scenes, also Jerry Hogarth’s help.

Once Joey and Ward stand on his opposite side, and if other senior officials in the company do not approve of his actions, then other people who jointly occupy 49% of the company’s equity can use Daniel to harm other companies The shareholder’s interest was brought to the court for the lawsuit. The result of the lawsuit is likely to directly cause Daniel Rand to lose control of the company, although he is still likely to be a major shareholder of the company.

However, unless it is a desperate situation, this kind of thing is generally not easy to use, otherwise the turbulence caused is likely to directly lead to the disintegration of the RAND Group, which is everyone’s Unwilling to see.

So in this case, Daniel Rand must compromise and try not to intervene in the company’s specific business while maintaining his 51% equity.

Be aware that although Daniel Rand owns 51% of the equity, he is not 67% of the equity. There is a big difference here.

If he owns 67% of the equity, then he owns 100% of the rights. All shareholders of other companies can be kicked out by him at any time. If Daniel joins Ward and Joey’s equity, it’s completely possible This can be done, but without the support of Ward and Joey, his control will be much weaker. Even when Ward and Joey are on the opposite side of him, he can no longer do things without wariness. .

And now, in the current situation, Ward obviously wants to teach Danny a lesson, so that he should not do whatever he wants.

“You know, just before this happened, he came to my office to talk about the dragon.” Watching Joey who stopped, Ward had to say emphatically: “His The heart is completely in another world, Joey. We have to think about the company.”

“I understand, Ward.” Joey, who had already reached the door, turned around and said, “But now he Live in our world.”
