Chapter 7 On the Importance of Stark Industries' Joint-Stock System
"Oh, my dear Uncle Obadei, we don't have the talk of kicking an important shareholder out of a shareholder meeting, and being late is nothing like that of a small deal for us, is it?" Tony. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Stark naturally wouldn't let the fighter he had managed to pull over be kicked out before he even got into the ring, so he immediately began to defend Zhou Yi.
And one thing is known for his reasons, and that is that Mr. Stark is definitely the most late person to the shareholder meeting, not one of them.
"I agree with Mr. Stark that Mr. Zhou is a significant shareholder and his opinion is absolutely indispensable to our corporate strategy." With Tony. Stark is in the top tank in front, and naturally someone will meet. And when Obadi saw this person who spoke up, his already gloomy face became a little more gloomy.
Stark Enterprises is an arms company founded during World War II, and because two generations of Mr. Stark were unparalleled inventors, Stark Enterprises became one of the world's most famous multinational giants in just two generations.
In the field of high-tech, only a few giants such as Osben, Hammer Industries, and Japan's Shishida Industries can compete with Stark Industries. And to put it bluntly, Stark Industries is the leader.
Such a huge enterprise can crush nearly half of the European countries with financial resources alone, so its composition is naturally quite complex. The first is his master, Stark, Tony. Stark owns about 23 percent of the company's shares, is the largest shareholder, and is the owner of many of the patents on which the company depends. These majors are not just Tony. Stark's, and his father's. Therefore, his position in this enterprise is basically unshakable. Unless Stark Industries stock plays bungee jumping.
But if nothing else, the U.S. government alone will not let that happen.
And then there was Obadi. Stan, this one follows Tony. Stark's father, the founder of the company, is undoubtedly the second largest shareholder of Stark Industries, holding about 11 percent of the shares. He is also the owner of Stark Enterprises, and that is Tony, of course. Stark with permission.
And further down is Zhou Yi, he himself only owns 2% of the shares, but with the crazy rise of IT stocks, he used the IT stocks in his hands to trade with Wall Street people and some other shareholders, and slowly the shares in his hands increased little by little, until now 6.7 percent, becoming the third largest shareholder worthy of the name.
About 5 percent of the remaining shares are in the hands of scattered shareholders. Wall Street's financial tycoons own 7 percent, the U.S. Air Force and Army 10 percent, and Osborne Industries and Shishida Industries 4 percent and 5 percent, respectively. This is a cross-shareholding party, which is normal in large enterprises.
As for the remaining 28 percent, it is held by more than 20 different companies and families, because according to Stark Industries' rules, less than 1 percent of the shareholders do not have the right to participate in shareholders' meetings. So there were only about six or seven people who could attend the meeting.
And among these six or seven people, naturally no one will offend a giant like Obadi, and it can even be said that most of them follow him. Therefore, the voice naturally comes from other people, and the US military is the most willing to be troubled.
Seeing the U.S. military's announcement, Obadai knew that there was no need to tear up the matter. I can only say with a straight face.
"Well, so be it. Mr. Zhou Yi, we just mentioned that the company intends to formally trade in the Middle East, 16 regions, according to the calculations of our financiers, the annual profit is about 20 billion US dollars, the Middle East is at war, Africa is at war, the more they fight, the more we earn. The more our country has more control over the region. I believe that you all understand this truth, if this plan is successful, your dividends will naturally be considerable, right? ”
Obadai continued his last-ditch efforts, trying to impress the shareholders with money. And when it comes to profits and dividends, some people really can't sit still.
Two hundred billion, a lot. But everyone here knows that this is an account on the surface, and it is used to file taxes. In fact, the profit is at least doubled, and it is definitely a lot richer. Of course, as a financial giant, Stark Industries will naturally not do such a thing as tax evasion, and if it does, it will be a real death, and for the people of America, the IRS is definitely the most violent government agency, and there is no one. So even Stark Industries wouldn't want to mess with this mad dog.
In fact, the United States has always been a well-known country for heavy taxation, and this is especially true for such multinational enterprises, in order to reasonably avoid taxes, every company in the United States and even every rich person has a special accountant to calculate how to avoid taxes. And the most common method used by such large enterprises is charitable fundraising. What kind of fire fundraising, military family fundraising, African children's fundraising, even if a dog dies, it can give you a reason to come out and raise donations, as for the purpose, it is basically to avoid taxes.
Tony. How did Stark's reputation as a philanthropist come about, as the boss of Stark Industries, he accumulated it from one fundraiser after another. All of the people present had such titles, and as for their purpose, most of them were to avoid taxes.
Therefore, dividends have nothing to do with the earnings on the books. Just like Zhou Yi, if he agrees to this plan, he can only get more than one billion dividends according to the shareholders, but in fact, he can receive at least more than two billion dividends. This is the gap, and it is also the benefit that can make people swoon.
“OK。 We all know what Mr. Stan means. In fact, no one wants to get along with Mr. Franklin. But I have a little doubt. Zhou Yi sat down with Tony. Stark said, looking at the documents Obadi had prepared.
"It seems that the list of regional weapons we sell is not all friendly objects of our lovely army. What if one day our missiles hit our own people in the head? ”
"We don't have our own people, Mr. Zhou! We are businessmen! Obadai endured the unhappiness in his heart, and said word by word in a lengthened tone.
"Of course, I understand!" Zhou Yi smiled, "But don't forget, we are businessmen, but the American people only think that we are Americans." Once my bad thoughts come true, who do you want to hold accountable in the face of the angry American people? Let me start by stating that I reject this proposal! ”
Zhou Yigang finished speaking, Tony. Stark immediately said, "Hey! I would also like to state that I am not against it, but I am not in favor of it either. In short, I won't take this responsibility, definitely not! "It seems like because it's important, Tony says twice that it won't.
Naturally, the military will not approve of this proposal, and Wall Street does not want to wade into this troubled water, although these are all money-seeing, but most of them are Jews, and they have no reason to support those Muslims. You know, the Jews and Muslims are the Jews and Muslims who have the most reason and the most likely to fight in the Middle East.
Although they don't take those Middle Eastern clansmen too seriously, these elite guys won't do it when they come out to the top tank while the enemy is still the enemy.
As for the two companies, Osborne and Yashida, they are naturally happy to see their old rivals lose their big business.
It seems that in the blink of an eye, Obadai's plan has fallen through for the most part, and as for the remaining half, even if Obadai thinks about it with the most fat part of his body, he knows that it is basically no fun. So he just sat in his chair with a gloomy face, and remained largely silent until the end of the meeting.
Of course, everyone understands that this is not a depression, this is a volcano of silence. So, even Tony. Stark, too, was quite wise not to irritate the old guy.
As soon as the meeting ended, Obadai left the Stark Building in his own car with a group of people. Obviously, he didn't want to see two bastard guys. That's how it will look for at least for a while.
Watch Obadi's car out of his sight, Tony. Stark straightened his wine glass and sighed, "This is really infuriating, Yi." We're not going too far. ”
"It's too much, that's your business, Obadai is your uncle, not mine." Zhou Yi rolled his eyes and drank all the champagne in his hand in one gulp.
"Hey, buddy! Can't you understand how sad I feel? That's the guy who watched me grow up! Tony said dissatisfied, and if he hadn't known that this guy had instructed him, he would have thought he was still complaining about his Uncle Obadai.
For Tony's cheekiness, Zhou Yike has long experienced it. Whoever can propose champagne to celebrate after such a thing should not expect much from his sympathy. So he just hehe'd just hehe'd expressed his feelings.
"What do you mean. Man, can I assume you're trying to find fault? Tony wasn't a good talker, and he immediately began to draw his sword at his comrades.
And Zhou Yi is not a guy who suffers a loss and is not angry, so he replied directly: "Oh, you can bring Hogan with you, I don't mind one-on-two, really!" ”
After thinking about Zhou Yi's fighting ability, and estimating his own combat power plus Hogan, Tony wisely changed the topic.
"Speaking of man, we haven't seen each other for so long, should I throw a party to celebrate, I believe those lovely girls will miss us very much, of course, I'll pick the old rules first, and this time I'll let you go, Hogan is not a vegetarian."
"We'll talk about it in a few days, old man!" Zhou Yi put down his wine glass and stood up. "I'm not like you, carefree and free. I've got a tough parent-teacher meeting to get done!"
"Oh, what an annoyance that makes you envious." Tony raised his glass with a malicious smile on his face. "You know, I've always wanted to have a cute sister or something."
"To hell with it, Tony." Zhou Yi couldn't help but scold. He made a gesture and walked towards the elevator.
Mr. Stark just replied with the same gesture, reminding, "And man, don't forget about the party." I'll let Jarvis let you know. ”
"Don't worry, I won't forget this kind of thing. Still, you're going to invite Pepe, I'm really curious. After saying this, Zhou Yi took the elevator and left Tony's private floor in the Stark Building.
"Wow, you really don't want to eat at all?" Tony smiled, but his eyes drifted to a three-dimensional image of the adorable Pepe. Miss Boz. "But why wouldn't I want to invite her?"
