Link convinces Brad and Hayley. They considered buying the company where Jason Twain had previously worked. Link, on the other hand, asked Claire to prepare a loan for Westward.

As if he had a heart, Link was still on his way back to Fox from Westward when he received a call from Snapton: "Boss, are you ready for the bonus?"

"Teresa, it's six and a half months until Christmas!"

"But I've made a very promising deal for you!" Snapton said with a laugh. "Now you're the owner of Springs Pharmaceuticals. We took 53% of the shares. Thomas is now the largest shareholder of Springs. ”

Link asked, "Can you control Springs?"

"Now Springs has lost quite a bit of an appeal to some people. Because of our shareholder who owns more than 50% of the shares, the company must pay dividends. For many people, the growth of the company will decline. They may choose to give up while the stock price is still at a certain level. ”

Investing in a company's stock, of course, is for the sake of dividend income, and the more dividends, the happier the shareholders will be. But if it is forced to pay dividends, it also means that the company will not have enough funds for research and development, and may not even have enough working capital. The future of such a company is uncertain. Some investors may be tempted to retreat.

In fact, some time ago, Snapton absorbed Springs shares in the stock market, causing the company's shares to rise against the trend, and many shareholders took advantage of the stable stock price to buy some of the shares. Because they know very well that the company will not do well until the cancer drug is developed. The stock price will only fall.

In order to prevent tax avoidance, U.S. law stipulates that as long as any five shareholders hold more than 50% of the shares, such a company will be forced to pay dividends. It would be nice if Springs were really a private company, but the problem is that the company has a lot of shareholders. After the dividends, will those shareholders be willing to put some of their money back into the company? The answer is obviously impossible.

Thomas & Co., on the other hand, is the kind of company that buys the company and spun it off and sells it. That could lead to disaster for the entire company.

In this case, there will indeed be shareholders who are willing to sell their shares.

After hearing what she said, Link thought for a moment and said, "Wouldn't that be to dry them for a while?"

"Yes, I'm not going to split the branch for a while, but I'm going to make some wrong decisions on purpose. "Even if her decision is wrong, those shareholders will not be able to overthrow her as president." "I'm going to let the Springs stock go down quickly. I need your support. ”

"Yes. Link has no problem with that, he doesn't plan to sell the stock, how the stock price is going doesn't matter much to him, but it has a big impact on Springs. Because the stock price falls, the company's assets will fall, and the bank will collect the debt in advance because of the fear of the safety of the funds. "But don't play until you go bankrupt. "Once bankrupt, the company's assets are no longer at their disposal. The court will award to the bankruptcy committee to restructure or sell the assets. Then they have been half-busy for half a year.

"Haha, boss, don't worry. I'll be careful. Snapton laughed. "I'll let them hang there and not get up or down. However, it can take a long time to buy their shares. In addition, I will continue to absorb more shares from the stock market. ”

Link thought so too. When the company starts to develop again, the stock price will definitely be higher, and now if you don't take advantage of the decline in the stock price to buy back, what are you waiting for?

He was about to say something more when the phone suddenly alerted him to a new call, and he looked at it. It's Douglas's. He said to the phone: "Springs business, you can handle it." I have a phone here, so that's it for now. ”

After hanging up with Snapton, he answered Douglas's phone: "Douglas, it's me!"

"Boss, I'm at Mora Manor. ”

Link was stunned for a moment and said, "I'll be back in twenty minutes." "Douglas came without calling in advance, and he must have felt compelled to let him know. And what he must know recently is probably the investigation of the mastermind behind the car accident.

Twenty minutes later, he returned to the manor, and after a few words with Jessica, he took Douglas to the study.

He waited for Darglas to close the door to his study and asked, "What made you come directly?"

"We've got the driver!"

This answer did surprise me at once. He just thought that he had found the most suspicious object behind the scenes, but he didn't expect to find someone who the police had never found.

"How did you find that?"

"We found surveillance footage outside of Focus' control and screened all the vehicles passing on the highway. The focus is on those vehicles that start with one person and later have an extra person. Using facial recognition systems, analyze the expressions of those people. The survey focused on those with serious facial expressions. ”

"That's it?"

"Yes, we started out with the idea of trying our luck. But then we did find a suspicious vehicle. The driver of the car and the people he picked up and dropped off didn't seem to know each other at all. And we found in the surveillance video a few days ago that the passenger was driving himself. Although that car is not the one that attacked you. But he is the most suspicious person. ”

"So you're focusing on him?"

"We just don't want to pass up any of our chances. It turned out that he was indeed the same driver who drove into your car that day. ”

"How did you find out?

"We monitored him. I heard him mention things like, 'he had bodyguards,' 'I thought they would be dizzy for a while,' 'I almost got hit by his bodyguard,' and 'I'm planning my next move.' ”

Link pondered for a moment and asked, "He confessed?" He knew that since Douglass had come to talk about it, he must have taken action.

"Yes. He confessed. But he didn't know who the Lord was directing. ”

Link sat in his seat, his fingertips unconsciously tapping at his desk before he said, "What did he say?"

"His boss gave him $50,000 and told him to kill you. His initial plan was to shoot. But at Fox you rarely show up, he doesn't get many opportunities. Even if you show up, Tiger is there, he doesn't have a spear, if you use a pistol, you're worried about getting too close to escape, and there are too many children there, he doesn't want to hurt the innocent. So he designed the crash in the hope that he would shoot you before you reacted to the crash. But Mark immediately shot him with a gun, so that he did not dare to get out of the car and had to flee. ”

Link pursed his lips, his face calm, and his heart was indeed angry. The only time he's usually exposed during Operation Fox is when he takes Hannah to kindergarten. For the rest, he basically doesn't show his face outside.

If she was shot at the entrance of the kindergarten, whether he was injured or not, Hannah would be frightened.

He took a deep breath and said, "What else did he say?"

"No more. He himself is just a man who takes money to do things. However, he said he had Russians on hand. ”

"Russians?gang?"

"Hmm!"

Link made a "tsk" in his mouth and said, "Then he's also Russian?"

"Yes. ”

"Have you looked for his boss?"

"But I didn't find it. It is said that he has returned to Russia. ”

Going back to Russia? Link felt a little ridiculous when he heard this. He didn't believe that it was a coincidence that the rider's line suddenly returned to Russia. The man must have fled back to Russia knowing that his men had been captured. That means that the man's roots are in Russia.

But did he offend the Russians in any way? The answer is definitely no.

There was only one Russian he knew, and that was Petrov, who sold his wines. But there is no dispute between the two sides, so it can't be him.

The Russians should not do anything to him.

He thought about it for a long time and didn't figure out whether someone in the United States paid the Russians to deal with him, or whether there were Russians who wanted to deal with him.

If you are an American, you should not have to go to the trouble of the Russians.

He was silent for a long time, and finally took out his mobile phone and flipped out a number that he hadn't contacted for quite a long time: "Hello, Mr. Petrov. I'm Link Hans. ”

After a polite gesture, he said what he wanted to say. He finally said: "That's the way it is, I think you have a lot of energy in Russia, and I want you to help me check whether I offended the big guy in your country without knowing it." ”

Petrov has made a lot of money in the past two years by selling Blue Lagoon wines. He was also happy to sell Link a favor: "What's that person's name?"

"Wait a minute. Link said, covering the microphone and looking at Douglas.

Daughras said the name of a Russian.

Link then let go of his hand and said to the receiver, "Glazov Kotelnich, that's how it should be pronounced. ”

"This is indeed the name of a Russian. I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Petrov said with a smile. "But I don't know if he used a different name in the United States. "If someone is forced to leave because they have broken the law, they usually use a pseudonym.

Link said with a smile, "If that's the case, I can only consider myself unlucky." ”

Petrov's energy in Russia seems much more important and powerful than Link imagined. The next day he called.

Link answered his call in a no-man's land. I only heard the other party say: "Link, we found him, he really used a fake name in the United States." His name in Russia is Kirov Reshva. I asked him for you. He was also on orders in the United States. There is an American in Russia who takes out a million dollars and wants your life. ”

"Americans?" Link asked, frowning. "Are you an American in Russia?" he seemed to remember something. "What's his name?"

"Anderson Adelson. ”

Sure enough, it was him! Link had almost forgotten about the man. But what did he say? He had to think about how to settle accounts with the other party!
