"Truth or Dare" is undoubtedly a very cruel reality show, but it is also attractive because of its truthfulness, and the ratings can be said to be very good.

However, because of the destructive power of this reality show, it has caused great controversy in the United States.

However, Andy doesn't care about these controversies, he never underestimates the public's psychology about prying into other people's privacy, and the people who eat melons are never a big deal.

According to Nielsen's ratings survey report, "Truth or Dare" was watched by 2,300 viewers, and the ratings were as high as 10.2%, which shows its popularity.

At the same time, according to the survey feedback of AMC TV, although 90% of the audience said that they would not participate in this program, they 100% said that they liked to watch others say very much.

In the face of the temptation of 500,000 US dollars, all kinds of hidden secrets were exposed in broad daylight, the shortcomings of the human form were exposed to the world, and when questioning the moral bottom line of the show, I had to sigh the complexity of human nature and the courage of the contestants and guests.

In modern society, people have become accustomed to lying, and telling the truth will not only make you a loner, but also ruin your life and make it impossible to gain a foothold in society.

"I've seen some media questions about the show, but don't pay attention to them, what is human nature, self-protection is the innate nature of human beings, and the truth out of nature is often evil, unacceptable, and disappointing, so in order to survive in the world, people have to choose to whitewash...

Just like our new president, after he was elected, the so-called political correctness was immediately shaken, and everyone shouted and beat the supremacy of the bai people in the past, but you see now, they are the ones who make the most trouble, hehe, it's ridiculous. ”

Andy said with a very disdainful expression, and Pleple also smiled helplessly, he naturally knew that before Ohei Niu officially took over, two premeditated assassinations were cracked, and SanKDang began to swagger across the street, and some cities with serious discrimination problems were hung up with various slogans attacking xing.

The two exchanged and discussed the matter of AMC TV again, until the assistant knocked on the door and walked in.

"Boss, Mr. Vitreel has arrived. ”

"Well, let him in. Andy nodded, then stood up and shook Prepler's hand and said: "That's it, go back and continue to develop according to the established plan, the merger with NBCUniversal will not start so soon, even if it merges, AMC is still AMC, although it will be connected to the grid, but it will not be merged into NBC, so I am optimistic about our TV station." ”

"I see, boss, I know what to do. When Preppler heard the words of the big boss, the trace of doubt in his heart also dissipated, knowing that AMC and NBC will still exist separately until the big boss does not completely control NBCUniversal. And it's not like he doesn't covet the position of CEO of NBC Broadcasting.

As soon as Pleple left the office with his front foot, Alvitatler walked in with his back foot and said to Andy: "Boss, it's almost time, the reporter downstairs has arrived, and the Black Knight Project can begin." ”

"Hehe, let's go, let me officially kick off the curtain!"

Andy stood in front of the coat mirror and pulled the hem of his suit, buttoned the suit, and smiled confidently on his face, and after saying to Alvittle, he took the lead and strode out of the office.

"Ding!"

The elevator door opened, and Andy came to a hall of the Gaia Building, which had been filled with reporters, and with his arrival, the originally noisy hall immediately sounded the sound of a click shutter.

"I don't need to introduce myself, thank you for coming, the reason why I asked you to come here today, is to announce one thing to the public... ”

Andy stood in front of many reporters, a bunch of various voice recorders and microphones appeared in front of him, with a faint smile on his face, and continued unhurriedly: "Just now, I already hold 25% of Starbucks shares in my hands, and from this moment on, I will officially issue a comprehensive acquisition offer to the Starbucks board of directors!"

"Wow-"

Everyone present was in an uproar, not because this group of reporters was lonely and unheard of and had never seen the world, Andy made a fuss when he bought a company, the main reason for the uproar was because the company that Andy bought was so special.

Not because the operation is special, but because the 20% Starbucks stake that Andy said is really incredible, and everyone looks at Andy with shock and admiration.

Since Starbucks was successfully listed on the NASDAQ in 1992, Starbucks shares can be publicly traded on the secondary market. Starbucks' shareholding structure has taken a turning point.

Subsequently, the company carried out four 2-for-1 stock splits in '94, '96, '99 and '01, so that the equity was dispersed as quickly as possible.

The reason why Starbucks has evenly distributed its shareholding in this way is because the management has the power to interfere in the company's operations in order to prevent shareholders from holding too many shares.

In this way, the control of the company can always be in the hands of senior managers, so as to initially realize the separation of equity and company control.

By 2003, Starbucks had more than 12,000 shareholders, and it is even more unimaginable that none of them held more than 3% of the shares.

This undoubtedly means that Star Buck's equity has been completely dispersed, and even those who own more than 0.5% of the company's equity can be regarded as major shareholders, which makes the company's control firmly in the hands of top management.

Now, Andy Smith said that he has a 25% stake, and there is no doubt that he has become the largest shareholder of Starbucks since it went public, and at the same time, it also marks that Starbucks' shareholding structure has changed dramatically.

He can already rely on his status as the largest shareholder to completely influence the operation of Starbucks, and he can already request a board meeting as the largest shareholder to complete the power grabbing.

The crowd was shocked by Andy Smith's courage and patience, and Starbucks' opening price today was $7.71, mainly due to the financial turmoil, as well as Starbucks' continuous layoffs and store closures.

In addition to buying shares from the secondary market, if you want to make up this 25% of the shares, it will undoubtedly take a long time to prepare, and take the trouble to negotiate with small shareholders one by one to buy from each other, which definitely requires a lot of manpower and financial resources to do this.

"Mr. Smith, you're already the largest shareholder, why don't you join the board... ”

"Mr. Smith, will you be the chairman of Starbucks?"

"Mr. Smith, will the Starbucks reform be interrupted? Have you met with Howard Schultz... ”

"Everyone, be quiet!"

Andy's face was indifferent, facing the reporters who were excited and began to ask all kinds of questions, Andy raised his voice and reached out to make a downward motion.

The scene quickly quieted down, hundreds of eyes stared at him, Andy didn't care, and said with a light smile: "As we all know, Starbucks' shareholding structure is very dispersed and even, and an individual holding 3% is already a major shareholder, and I now hold 25%, which is already the largest individual shareholder, but this does not meet my requirements at all, I can only tell you that my acquisition of Starbucks is just beginning!"

"Thank you, that's all for the press conference, thank you... ”

After Andy finished speaking, he smiled and nodded to the many reporters present, ignoring the reporters who were stopped by many bodyguards and security guards and kept shouting various questions, and turned around and walked towards the elevator.

"Did you get an appointment?" asked Andy to the oncoming assistant.

"When the appointment arrived, the other party was very surprised, but I was very happy and looking forward to meeting with the boss. The assistant hurriedly replied.

"Alright, let's go. Andy smiled with a sunny smile, his slightly squinted eyes sparkling.
