Usapho lweBoies

Kumnandi xa abantwana bakho beyiqonda kakuhle into oyenzayo, utshilo uMnu. Boies, onesimo esizolileyo saseMidwestern, kwaye kunzima ukuqonda ngenene into oyenzayo ngaphandle kokuba uyenza. Kwaye kuhle xa ndiqonda yintoni bona yenza.

Utata kaMnu. Boies wayengumfundisi wembali, owafudusa usapho eIllinois baya eCalifornia xa uBoies wayeneminyaka eli-13. Nangona uDavid oselula wayephumelela ekuxoxeni kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo, kunokuba aye ekholejini — akazange avume kwa-Antiyokwe naseStanford. watshata nesithandwa sakhe samabanga aphakamileyo uCaryl kuhambo oluya eMexico. Wamkhuthaza ukuba abuyele esikolweni, ke waya kwiDyunivesithi yaseRedlands eyayinxulumene neBaptist ngelo xesha kwi-scholarship, emva koko waya kwiSikolo soMthetho saseMantla-ntshona. Esi sibini sinabantwana ababini abancinci, uDavid Boies III noCaryl, kodwa umtshato waphela. Umnumzana Boies wenza ubudlelwane nomnye umfundi ogama lingu Judith, owayetshate noprofesa wakhe wezomthetho.

Xa uJudith owayesandula ukuqhawula umtshato wadluliselwa kwiColumbia Law School, uMnu Boies wamlandela wasempuma, kwisikolo iYale Law. Ukugqiba kwakhe izifundo zakhe, wajoyina isebe lezimangalo eCravath, Swaine & Moore. Esi sibini sitshatile kwaye sinamawele, uJonathan noChristopher, kodwa baqhawula umtshato xa amakhwenkwe ayemalunga ne-4.

Iphrofayili kaMnu Boies ikhule ngokuzinzileyo, nabaxumi abakhulu abanjengoTexaco, I.B.M kunye ne-CBS kwisimangalo esidume kakubi esaziswa nguGeneral William Westmoreland. Waye waziwa ngesinxibo sakhe esithobekileyo kwaye engathobekanga ingqokelela yewayini, kunye nenkumbulo yakhe yokufota nothando lokungcakaza. Wadibana nomfazi wakhe wesithathu nowangoku, uMary, ngelixa wayesebenza njengegqwetha kwi-Senate Antitrust Subcommittee. Banabantwana ababini, uMary Regency, ngoku ona-23, kunye no-Alexander, 21.

Kwibhayiloji kaMnu. Boies, v. UGoliyati , UKaren Donovan uxele ukuba amanye amaqabane eCravath akhumbula uMnu. Boies ethatha iiholide zosapho ezininzi, nangona abantwana bakhe bekhumbula kufuneka banciphise ixesha notata wabo. Esinye isithethe yayikukuhamba unqamleze iJeep engenangcango. Unyana wakhe uJonathan wahamba naye ngehlobo lowe-1985, xa uMnu.Boies wayelungiselela ityala laseWestmoreland, kwaye bamisa ukwenza udliwanondlebe nezilwanyane ezininzi zaseVietnam, kubandakanya no-Colonel Hawkins, owayebanika ilamuni kunye nokubanika ukhenketho lwegadi yakhe yemifuno, Wakhumbula uJonathan.

Umnumzana Boies wazisa abantwana bakhe kwishishini losapho. UChristopher wamisela ukuzibandakanya kwenkampani, ngokuchasene nokulandela utata wakhe kwibala lezimangalo. Utata wakhe uxela ukuba abathengi bonyana wakhe baquka uGoldman Sachs, Inkampani yeWeinstein kunye neeWynn Resorts.

Akukho mntu uzokundibhatalela imali yam, kuba utata nguDavid Boies, ukwenza intengiselwano, utshilo uChristopher.

Kodwa ukuba ayisebenzi kakuhle, izakunceda igama lakho lokugqibela nguBoies, utshilo utata wakhe ngoncumo.

Eso sesinye sezibonelelo, kodwa eso sisibonelelo senkqubo uqobo, utshilo uChristopher. Ndisoloko ndisithi, ‘Utata angakuvuyela ukuqhubeka nale ncoko.’ Andisoloko ndisitsho.

UMnu Boies wabuzwa ukuba uyayithatha na le nkampani njengeshishini losapho.

Ngendlela, ngokuqinisekileyo, lishishini losapho-ngengqondo yokuba amagqwetha amabini okuqala kule femu yayinguChristopher noCaryl. Kwaye sobathathu sidlale indima ebalulekileyo ekwakheni inkampani. Kwelinye icala, obu budlelwane namagqwetha amaninzi abalaseleyo. Ayiloshishini losapho ngengqondo yokuba umntu onje ngeNew York Yankees angaba lishishini losapho, apho unomphathi oyintloko omnye kwaye ubunini benqununu buza kudluliselwa kusapho.

Kunyaka ophelile, Ijenali yeWall Street uxele ukuba ifemu yayigxothiwe ngumthengi, inkampani yeentambo uAdelphia, kuba uAdelphia wayengaziswanga ukuba abantwana abane bakaMnumzana Boies babebambe iziteki ezingathanga ngqo kwinkampani yokulungisa amaxwebhu eyacetyiswa yinkampani.

Umnumzana Boies uqaphele ukuba abasemagunyeni kwezomthetho bagqibe kwelokuba inkampani yakhe ayenzanga nto imbi, kwaye notyalo mali lwenziwe ngokuzimeleyo ngunyana wakhe, u-DB III.

Zintathu ii-Boies spawn eziye kwiDyunivesithi yaseRedlands, njengoyise, kwaye i-DB IV ngoku ingumfundi apho. UMnu Boies unike izitulo apho, nakwiYunivesithi yasePennsylvania. Abahlobo bakhe kunye namaqabane akhe bamisela enye egameni lakhe ngo-2003 kwiSikolo soMthetho iYale. Ungumphathiswa weSibhedlele iSt.Luke-Roosevelt, kwaye yena kunye nenkosikazi yakhe kutshanje banike i-5 yezigidi kwisibhedlele saseMntla Westchester.

Ngomhla wamashumi amabini anesithandathu kuDisemba, phantse amashumi amane amalungu e-Boies clan azokuya eCabo San Lucas, eMexico, kwindibano yeveki yonke emva komsitho weKrisimesi, isiko ukusukela ngo-1987. Umfazi wokuqala kaMnu Boies kunye nosapho olongezelelekileyo bazakubakhona, kunye nabantwana abathandathu bakaMnu Boies kunye nabazukulwana abasibhozo. (Umfazi wakhe wesibini, uJudith, uchithe umbulelo kunye nosapho eKatonah, N.Y. Ungumcebisi kwifemu yamagqwetha yase Boies.)

Uhambo lonyaka lunemeko enye: ukuba indawo ekuyiwa kuyo ibekwe kumgama omileyo wekhasino. Abantwana baseBoies bakhule bedlala imidlalo yamakhadi kunye neDabi lokulwa, emva koko badlulela kwimidlalo enzima njengepoker kunye nentenetya, utshilo uChristopher.

Enye yezona zinto zibalaseleyo uDavid azinika nabani na kukuba ukrelekrele kwaye ukhuselekile kangangokuba ungakhuphisana naye, utshilo uJudith Boies.

Kusenokwenzeka ukuba kuphela kosapho ukuba nomdlalo obizwa ngokuba yi-Anti-Monopoly, utshilo uChristopher.

Ifilosofi yam yayisoloko ibavumela ukuba baphumelele, utshilo uMnu Boies.

Yintlekisa leyo, wongeza uChristopher.
