Chapter 172: Mohs Creatures
By the time the microbond sale ended, it was already evening.
The lights in the port area are far less bright than those in the commercial area of the middle floor, but fortunately, Lin has already arranged it, and a soft light yellow light falls from the dome and illuminates the entire square.
Not long ago, more than 100,000 people gathered here, and when the microbonds were sold, the people who subscribed for the bonds formed a dozen lines in the air, each with more than 200 people, and the long queues meandered through the air, like some kind of strange plankton.
However, now that the vast majority of people are gone, it takes a full 100 moles to buy even one large bond, and in the lower suburbs, many people have only double digits in their cups all year round.
Even for residents of the middle district, spending 100 moles to buy a bond is a very luxurious thing, after all, most people have at their disposal, and the amount of moles at their disposal is between three to four digits, in case the bond cannot be paid after 3 months, losing 100 moles out of thin air is enough to make many people feel pain.
As a result, only representatives of the companies remained, as well as a few small tycoons from the middle district, and no big names from the upper city.
However, it is not that those people are not interested in the "Moby Dick Debt", but they do not need to show up in person. In these companies with strange names, maybe the shareholder of one is a certain level 4 or 5 big witch.
At a cursory glance at Summer Night, there were less than fifty people in total, all gathered in a small clearing in front of the beluga whale. Although the scene was much quieter than in the afternoon, Summer Night knew that the purchasing power of these people was probably stronger than that of the remaining 100,000 people combined.
"Now we start issuing large bonds."
Summer Night said to the big customers in front of her, her tone was no longer as incendiary as in the afternoon, and seemed flat and natural.
"However, before I go on sale, I would like to give you a piece of information."
No one in the crowd spoke, but Summer Night saw curiosity and confusion in their gaze.
She smiled and continued:
"If this voyage goes well, when I return to Debussota, I plan to set up a whaling company, and at that time, anyone who holds no less than 2,000 moles of bonds can negotiate with me to convert the bonds into shares of the company according to a certain percentage on the premise of waiving the payment of principal and interest."
The crowd was silent for a few seconds, and then there was an uproar, and without any further explanation from Summer Night, these people quickly understood the meaning of the words just now.
Debt-to-equity swaps.
If a bond can be converted into shares, and it is a share in a company with an immeasurable future, then its value will no longer be limited to the 10% coupon. Depending on the market's valuation of the company, the value of this bond, which can be converted into shares, may exceed its face value by 40% or 50%...... Or even doubled.
Summer Night waited quietly for a moment before adding:
"However, what I have just mentioned is only an intention, and does not have any contractual effect. At the same time, all the details of the debt-to-equity swap, such as the conversion ratio and valuation method, have not yet been determined. The reason why I told you in advance is just to express my goodwill and sincerity.
"In the future, my company will also be one of the many companies in Debussota, and maybe in a few months, my company will have a business cooperation with all of you here today, and frankly, I hope that my company will be goodwill and win-win, not hostile and exclusionary. Therefore, I hope that you will be able to convey my goodwill to the principals and shareholders of your company. β
Summer Night's low profile dispelled most people's doubts, at least on the surface, and soon someone said, "Miss Summer Night, I will definitely convey your words, and I hope that we will be able to work together happily in the near future." β
Immediately afterward, more people said something similar.
The girl kept a flawless smile and thanked them with a nod of thanks, and the friendly and cheerful atmosphere seemed to dispel the night for a while. After a few minutes, the polite performances finally ended, and people eagerly began to ask what they really cared about.
"Miss Summer Night, is there a requirement for the denomination of the bonds? Can 10 Mole's microbonds be used for conversion? "The first issue that comes up is the one that almost everyone is most concerned about.
"Absolutely." "I only care if the total amount is more than 2,000 moles, and I don't care if it's a large or small bond, even if you hold 200 small bonds, you can convert them all into shares in the new company." β
The people looked at each other, and Summer Night saw a greedy smile hidden on their faces.
She didn't have to guess to know what these people were thinking.
"Miss Summer Night, when will I be able to tell me the specific elements of the conversion? Need to wait until you return from the sea? β
"It won't take that long." She said, "I will entrust 'Yuanchuan Leasing' to assist in the implementation of the relevant matters related to the preparation of the new company, and if it goes well, before I return to the sea, 'Yuanchuan Leasing' will inform you of the specific elements and rules of the debt-to-equity swap." β
As soon as he finished speaking, someone asked another question.
Summer Night patiently replied until everyone received a satisfactory answer.
"If there are no other problems, start selling bonds now."
With the help of the staff, the 300 large bonds were quickly sold out, and the representatives of the company present maintained a tacit understanding with each other, and the size of the subscription of everyone was exactly around 500 moles.
If you don't do anything and hold it for three months, no company will be able to convert your bonds into shares.
So they're going to do something.
Either from other institutions or from individuals who hold small bonds...... The total amount of bond issuance is only 60,000 moles, and even if each company only happens to hold 2,000 moles, only 30 companies will be eligible for the debt-for-equity swap.
And the actual number left must be much smaller than this number.
These companies will be the winners of this "bond battle royale" game, but no one has ever stipulated that what awaits the winner must be the reward of victory.
After all, the hilt of the scythe has always held the hand of the summer night.
"Thank you for your support." Xia Ye bent down slightly, with a perfect smile on his face, and saluted everyone, "There are other trivial matters below, retire first, and see you in three months." β
With that, she got on her broom and disappeared into the night sky in the blink of an eye.
β¦β¦
Lin sat on a broomstick and hovered over the offshore area of the Aetheric Sea. A moment later, Summer Night flew in from the direction of the port and stopped beside her.
"This is a list of the top 100 bidders with bids." She handed a piece of paper to Summer Night. "There are too many bidders left, and it will be a little later to sort them out."
"Good work."
Summer Night nodded, her eyes falling on the company at the top of the list.
"'Mohs Bio'?"
This was the highest bidder, with a whopping 50,000 moles, almost double the second place.
"What does this a company do? Do you study how to make monsters? Summer Night asked half-jokingly.
Lin shook his head: "According to the information filled in by the other party, the other party is studying the dome wheat." β
"Huh?"
"It's the kind of dome wheat we usually eat, and they're studying how to grow it with higher yields and better tasting. Despite its name, looking at the company address, this is an uptown company. β
"......" Summer Night instinctively felt that there was something strange in this.
Let's start with the "Mohs Creatures" investigation, she thought silently.
At that moment, the crystal ball suddenly vibrate.
Summer Night glanced at it, and it was Luca. She answered the call.
"The last time you commissioned me to investigate, there are results."
ββ¦β¦β
Because so much time had passed, Summer Night was stunned for a few seconds before she remembered what had happenedβbefore she went to sea, she had commissioned Luca to investigate the origin of the trademark on the body bag.
"When you're free, we'll talk in person." Luca was cautious and didn't mention any specific information in the crystal ball.
It was already past 10 o'clock in the evening, and Summer Night hesitated for a moment and said, "Just now." β
"Okay, see you in the company conference room."
"I still have something to do, let's go first." Summer Night said to Lin, started the BRM430, and galloped away with a roar.
By the time we arrived at the agreed place, it was already 11 p.m.
As soon as they met, Luca got straight to the point: "That's a company in Uptown, called 'Mohs Biotech'. β
