If Finn Lewis saw this, he would be speechless. At that time, he didn’t even want to spend money on phone bills, let alone make international calls. He rarely even calls home.
Of course, Finn didn’t know this. After confirming his absolute control over T
Company, he picked up the phone and called Mr. M.
“Mr. M.” After Mr. M answered the phone, Finn chuckled and said.
“Mr. Lewis.” Mr. M gave a bitter laugh. It seems he couldn’t change the way
Finn addressed him. But all he could do was laugh and agree. Although he
didn’t know what was going on, he had some idea, especially since mih had dumped all the shares of T Company they owned.
“Mr. M, thanks for everything this time. I have some shares in T Company, not sure how much you want, but I’m willing to sell them to you at the current stock price.” Finn quickly offered. The main business of T Company is not games, so it doesn’t matter whether he controls T Company or not. In the world of big companies, being the controlling shareholder is not always best. Look at federal corporations, how many are completely controlled? Virtually none.
This is why these big companies last for so long. Whether it’s IBM or Intel, Apple or WF, none of them are controlled by a single person or entity.
“How many shares of T Company do you have in your hands right now?” Mr. M asked out of curiosity. He was genuinely curious about this. The current stock price of T Company is somewhat abnormal, but Mr. M is not in a hurry. He knows Finn has been pulling the strings in the background.
He was aware of what was happening in the futures market, such as nasperslimited’s stock price plummeting. Of course, he paid attention to these events. Combining this with Finn’s attitude towards Duncan Tucker that day, Mr. M knew without a doubt that Finn was behind all of this. This is Finn’s real power.
“51%.” Finn laughed and replied.
Mr. M choked on his own saliva. He was startled. He knew what 51% meant, but he never imagined that Finn would own that many shares of T Company. This meant that someone had absolute control over T Company!
Despite this, Finn was willing to sell his shares to him, which even impressed Mr. M. From this, it could be seen that Finn was true to his word.
However, Mr. M had always wanted to buy back shares of T Company but he didn’t have much funds. Even if Finn offered him a discount, he could only buy about 5% of the shares. After a moment of hesitation, Mr. M finally said, “How about this, I don’t want T Company’s shares. I wonder if I could buy part of W’s shares, or shares from your Virtual World Investment Company.”
“Huh?” Finn was surprised. He didn’t expect Mr. M to set his sights on his shares.
The Virtual World and Zero Control Investment Company had been redistributed. All the fully controlled companies, like Blue Wind Technology Network Company, Goddess of Light Automobile Factory, Dura Automobile Factory, and all the wholly-owned businesses in Proudly Nation, had been transferred under Zero Control Investment Company.
Although Virtual World Holdings had 100% of its shares registered under the Zero Control Investment Company, it still had 4.8% of A Company shares, 51% of WY shares, and the current T Company’s shares, as well as future acquisitions like Activision Blizzard, all listed under its name.
“5% of the shares of Virtual World Holdings in exchange for all the T Company and WY shares you currently hold. In the next year, your shares will remain unchanged regardless of how much Virtual World expands.” Finn pondered for a moment and firmly stated.
“That means I’ve made a profit.” Mr. M chuckled. You see, if Finn placed T
Company’s shares under the name of Virtual World, he would hold 59% of T Company’s shares with his original 8%. And owning 5% of Virtual World’s shares means he would hold nearly 3% of T Company’s shares and 3% of WYs shares. On paper, the value seems to have decreased. But remember, Virtual World still owns 4.8% of A Company’s shares.
That means he would also own nearly 0.03% of Apple’s shares. According to its current market value, this would be worth about 20 billion Federal coins. Plus, don’t forget Finn’s words, his shares won’t be diluted no matter how much
Virtual World expands in the next year. And since Finn was still acquiring Activision Blizzard, any company he adds to the portfolio increases his assets.
Although, by pure numerical calculations, Mr. M would lose money, the fact that he proposed to buy shares in Virtual World indicates his optimism about the company’s prospects.
“If you do the math, you are at a loss.” Finn laughed. His perspective was now different since he had first experienced the game of capital. Recently, he had been using Red Flower Bank and Rhine Kingdom Bank. Although they were not used this time, it doesn’t mean that they were not useful.
In fact, the news circulating in this top financial circle, about why Finn targeted the sg consortium, had been spread out through Rhine Kingdom Bank and Red Flower Bank. It was precisely because of the deterrence of these two banks that many chose to turn a blind eye to the plummeting price of T Company’s shares.
If everyone were buying, it would have been much harder for Finn to acquire that many shares in T Company. But the matter with the sg Investment
Foundation had given the financial circles a peculiar impression of Finn.
A complete financial tyrant, coupled with… insanity, madness, a real prodigal! Regardless, most evaluations were along these lines. Whoa, don’t you just want to buy Activision Blizzard? Isn’t it just a gaming company? Have to go this big? Look at the turbulence it caused, never mind your own losses, you have money, you’re boss. Since the old-time foundation was willing to give you money to play and incur losses, we can’t do anything.
But you, do you know that your actions, which harm others but not benefit you, resulted in big losses for many planned investment consortiums and companies? According to statistics from Reeve Silver and Red Flower Bank, due to Finn’s actions, those who suffered innocent disasters, such as foundations and so on, had lost at least more than 200 billion Federal coins!
These were just the innocent victims! The losses suffered by certain companies and consortiums were even greater! Like the sg Investment Foundation, which could have responded in time to any decline in the oil market had Finn not interfered..
