Finn Lewis found it a bit odd, but after a phone call from Mr. M, he quickly
already been linked and even verified by T company. After thinking it over, Finn didn’t use the nickname Prodigal Brother but instead changed it to Literati Saucy Poet.
It seemed like the fame of this ID might be a bit bigger? The authenticated information below read: Chairman of WY Company. “Hey, Mr. M, your authenticated information seems incomplete,” Finn pointed out, speaking quickly.
“You’re not hoping to expose all your information, are you?” Mr. M looked at
Finn, speechless. Thinking it over, Finn suggested: “Then let’s change it to
Chairman of Zero Shareholding Investment Limited.”
“Zero Shareholding?” Mr. M looked at Finn in surprise. It was clear that he didn’t know about this company. Finn shrugged, ‘Yes, Zero Shareholding Investment Company. It’s an investment company I started myself,” Finn said with a smile.
Why not? Now, even his people are under the control of Zero. It’s fitting for the company to be called Zero Shareholding Investment Limited.
“That’s easy, but what kind of assets does your investment company hold?” Mr. M curiously asked.
“There’s a Dura private car manufacturing plant, a Goddess of Light private car manufacturing plant. Oh, but the Goddess of Light plans to merge directly with Dura soon. The new name would be HyperModern Private Car Manufacturing Factory. Under it, there are three brands. One is the Goddess of Light, which is what I drive, but it’s not available for external orders. There’s another brand called Dura, and the last one is the special car for middle-aged people, temporarily named Xuanyuan.”
“Isn’t there also HyperCraft?” Mr. M, who knew a bit about this, asked.
“Threw it away, don’t need it,” Finn said bluntly.
Mr. M was speechless. He just threw away a brand like that? It was decades old and Finn had apparently spent several hundred million federal coins to bring it back. And then he just threw it away? But he didn’t ask further. He had seen Finn’s wasteful style. Throwing it away was throwing it away. By saying this, he had also committed to hosting a gaming league every two years and investing six hundred million federal coins. What was the difference between this and throwing it away?
“Then there’s Blue Wind Technology Company, which provides server support for its subsidiary WY. Additionally, I have a farm and a fishing company in Proudly Nation, along with a Virtual World Shares Limited company. But 100% of this company’s shares are in my hands. This company holds a mix of industries, like shares of WY and Company A, all in the name of this enterprise,” Finn explained with a laugh.
After the latest adjustments, Zero Shareholding Investment Company was definitely 100% privately owned. Nobody else could buy in. The companies under Zero Shareholding Investment Company were split into two categories. The first was fully-owned subsidiaries like HyperModern Private Car Manufacturing Factory, 100% owned by Finn Lewis.
The rest were under the Virtual World Shares Limited company, which held those without full ownership control.
“You have shares in Company A? The fruit one from North Federation?” Mr. M was truly surprised this time.
“Hmm, not much, just 4.8%,” Finn Apple said, smiling.
Mr. M nearly bit his tongue. This was called “not much”? Considering the proportion, it indeed wasn’t much. But what was Company A? It was a super-corporation with a market cap exceeding 600 billion federal coins! The company with the highest market cap in the world! You call this “not much”?
Then were the 10% of T Company shares I had before a lot?
“Whatever, if you’re not afraid of exposure, just write it like that,” Mr. M shrugged. However Finn wanted to write it was up to him. But probably nobody could find out anything about Zero Shareholding Company. It was purely a private company, registered domestically, but the info inside was simple: it was just the names of the subsidiary companies and the owner’s name.
And if you asked XX Bureau to keep the company’s name confidential, they would. Only people in the domestic XX Bureau could look up the info.
Finn quickly got it done. The verification info below was changed to: Chairman of Zero Shareholding Investment Company, Chairman of Virtual World Shares Limited Company, commonly known as Prodigal Brother. There was nothing else beyond that. As for that last piece of authenticated info, Finn wanted to mock it, but he couldn’t help it.
After Finn was done, Mr. M immediately made a phone call. Even though Finn didn’t quite catch what he said, he immediately asked suspiciously, “Hey, Mr. M, you’re not trying to sell me out, are you?”
“Not at all. I just asked someone to give you a pop-up ad on the Micro Research app. It’s to boost your fan value. Your fan score isn’t even at ten yet, isn’t that embarrassing?” Mr. M said with a smile. What Mr. M didn’t say was, you probably don’t even know how popular you are in the country, do you?
Pop-up ad… Finn, of course, knew what that was for. It was the pop-up window at the bottom right of Flying Bird. But is it such a good idea to use it like this? Finn was speechless. He did have a Flying Bird login program on his phone. After thinking, Finn decided to say, “Since you recommended it, I should probably greet everyone on there.”
Finn opened his Micro Research App on his phone. As soon as he saw the number of fans he had, Finn exclaimed, “Holy shit!”
“What happened?” Mr. M asked curiously.
“Man, your recommendation is too powerful. The number of followers has exceeded one hundred thousand in an instant,” Finn exclaimed.
One hundred thousand? Hearing this number, Mr. M was also momentarily taken aback. In reality, the user base of T company’s Micro Research couldn’t be said to be large. This was relative to Sina Micro Research, which was more popular among the circle. Of course, the total user count for T’s Micro Research app wouldn’t be lesser than Sina Micro Research, but there were too many dormant users.
Many people only downloaded Flying Bird to light the icon, but it’s been years since they last logged in, or they hadn’t logged in since they registered. In the past, they had helped some celebrities who were invited to activate Micro Research by directly giving them popup recommendations. But only Finn had gained one hundred thousand followers in such a short time!
How long had they been talking? Probably not even a minute! That meant that many people who were using Flying Bird saw the news and immediately clicked into Micro Research and followed Finn!
The popularity of this Finn bloke was explosive, wasn’t it?
