Chapter 7: On the Importance of the Stark Industrial Shareholding System
"Oh, my dear Uncle Obadiah, we didn't say we kicked a significant shareholder out of the shareholders meeting, and a little thing like being late isn't a big deal for us, is it?" Tony. Stark naturally wouldn't let the boxer he finally pulled over was kicked out before he even got on the ring, so he immediately started to defend Zhou Yi.
And his reason? Everyone knows one thing, and that is that Mr. Stark is definitely the most late person at the shareholders meeting, no one.
"I agree with Mr. Stark's statement that Mr. Zhou is an important shareholder, and his opinion is absolutely an indispensable part of our corporate plan." With Tony. Stark is in front of the tank, and naturally someone will comply. And after seeing the person who spoke out, Obadi's already gloomy face became more gloomy.
Stark Enterprises is an arms company built during World War II. Because two generations of Mr. Stark are unparalleled inventors, Stark Enterprises has become the most famous multinational giant in the world with the efforts of only two generations. one.
In the field of high-tech, only a few giants such as Osborn Corporation, Hammer Industries, and Japan's Yoshida Industries are comparable to Stark Industries. And to put it bluntly, Stark Industries is the leader.
Such a giant enterprise can crush more than half of European countries with its financial resources alone, so its composition is naturally quite complicated. The first is his master Stark, Tony. Stark owns about 23% of the company's shares, is the largest shareholder, and is also the owner of many patents on which the entire 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 is bungee jumping.
But if nothing else, the American government alone would not allow this to happen.
And next is Obama. Stan, this one follows Tony. The veteran who founded the company with Stark's father is undoubtedly the second largest shareholder of Stark Industries, and he holds about 11% of the shares. At the same time he is also the controller of Stark's enterprise, of course, that is in Tony. With Stark's permission.
Further down is Zhouyi. He himself only owns 2% of the shares, but as IT stocks skyrocketed, he used the IT stocks in his hands to trade with Wall Street people and some other shareholders, and slowly The shares he held in his hands increased little by little, until now at 6.7%, he has become the third largest shareholder worthy of the name.
About 5% 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, Osborne Industries and Yasuda Industries 4 percent and 5 percent each. This is a mutual holding party, which is normal in large companies.
As for the remaining 28% of the shares, it is held by more than 20 different companies and families, because according to the rules of Stark Industries, shareholders below 1% do not have participating shareholders the right to the meeting. So there are probably only six or seven people who can attend this meeting.
And among these six or seven people, naturally no one will offend a giant like Obadiah, and it can even be said that most of them follow him. Therefore, the voices naturally come from other people, and the US military is the most willing to make trouble.
Seeing the announcement made by the US military, Obadi knew that there was no need to tear it apart. Can only say with a straight face.
"So, that's it. Mr. Zhou Yi, we just said that the company plans to formally conduct transactions with the Middle East, 16 regions. According to our financier's calculations, the annual profit is about 20 billion US dollars. War, Africa is fighting, and the more they fight, the more we earn. The stronger our country's ability to control the region.
I believe that everyone understands this truth. If this plan is successful, your dividends will naturally be considerable, right? "
Obadi is still continuing his final efforts, and he wants to use money to impress the various shareholders present. And when they hear profits and dividends, some people can't sit still.
Twenty billion, a lot. But everyone here knows that this is an open account and is used for tax reporting. 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 things as tax evasion and evasion. If it does, it would be a real death. For the American people, the US Internal Revenue Service is definitely the most violent government agency. none of them. So even Stark Industries would not want to mess with this kind of mad dog.
In fact, the United States has always been a well-known tax-heavy country, especially for such multinational companies. In order to avoid tax reasonably, every company in the United States and even every wealthy person has a special accountant to calculate how to avoid tax. The most common method used by such large enterprises is to raise funds for charity. Fundraising for fire alarms, fundraising for military family members, fundraising for African children, even a dead dog can give you a reason to raise money. As for the purpose, it is basically for tax avoidance.
Tony. How did the Stark philanthropist's reputation come about? As the boss of Stark Industries, he accumulated it from fund-raising parties. Everyone present has such a title, and as for their purpose, most of them are to avoid taxes.
Therefore, dividends have nothing to do with the income on the book. Just like Zhou Yi, if he agrees to this plan, he can only distribute dividends of more than one billion according to shareholders on the book, but in fact, he can receive at least two billion in dividends. This is the gap, and it is also the benefit that can make people fascinated.
"OK. We all understand what Mr. Stein means. In fact, no one wants to get along with Mr. Franklin. But I have a little doubt." Zhou Yi sat down with Tony. Beside Stark, he said while looking at the documents that Obadeh had prepared.
"It seems that the list of armed forces in these areas that we sell are not all friendly targets of our lovely army. What if one day our missile hits our own people?"
"We don't have our own people, Mr. Zhou! We are businessmen!" Obadeh endured the displeasure in his heart, and stretched his tone to say word by word.
"Of course, I understand!" Zhou Yi smiled, "but don't forget, we are businessmen, but the American people only think we are Americans. Once my bad idea comes true, then face the angry American people , who do you want to take responsibility for. I can state first, I veto this proposal!"
Zhou Yi just finished speaking, Tony. Stark immediately said: "Hey! I also want to declare, I don't object, but I don't agree either. In short, I won't take this responsibility, definitely not!" It seems to be because it is very important, Tony said Not twice.
Naturally, the military will not approve of this proposal, and Wall Street also does not want to go into troubled waters. It is true that these are all money-seeking guys, but most of them are Jewish, and they have no reason to support those Muslims. You know, the Jews and Muslims are the most reasonable and likely to fight in the Middle East.
Although they don't take those Middle Eastern clansmen too seriously, those who have become elites will not do the things that come out to top the tank while investing in the enemy.
As for the two companies, Osborne and Yashida, they are naturally happy to see their old rivals lose a big business.
It seems that in the blink of an eye, more than half of Obadeh's plan has failed. As for the remaining half, even if Obadeh thinks about the most fat part of his body, he knows that it is basically out of the question. So he just had a gloomy face, sat in the seat without saying a word, and remained basically silent until the end of the meeting.
Of course, everyone understands that this is not a depression, this is a silent volcano. So, even Tony. Stark, too, wisely didn't provoke the old guy.
As soon as the meeting ended, Obade took a ticket and left the Stark Building in his own car. Obviously, he didn't want to see two bastards. At least for a while.
Watching Obadiah's special car leave his sight, Tony. Stark straightened the glass and sighed with emotion: "This is really annoying, Yi. Are we going too far?"
"Excessive, that's your business too. Obadeh is your uncle, not mine." Zhou Yi rolled his eyes and drank the champagne in his hand.
"Hey, man! Can't you understand my sadness? That's the one who watched me grow up!" Tony said dissatisfiedly, with that look, if he hadn't known that this guy was instructing him, he would have thought he was still there. Injustice for his Uncle Obadiah.
For Tony's cheeky, Zhou Yi has long been aware of. The man who can offer to open champagne after such an event should have no expectations of his compassion. So he just hehe to express his feelings.
"What do you mean. Dude, can I think you're trying to find fault?" Tony was not someone to talk to, and immediately began to draw a knife to his comrades.
And Zhou Yi is not a guy who doesn't say anything at a loss, 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 after estimating his own and Hogan's fighting ability, Tony wisely changed the subject.
"Speaking of buddy, 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 Horse, Hogan isn't a vegetarian."
"Let's talk about it in a few days, old man!" Zhou Yi put down his glass and stood up. "I'm not like you. I'm carefree and free. I have a difficult parent meeting to get done!"
"Oh, it's a trouble that makes you envious." Tony raised his glass with a malicious smile on his face. "You know, I've always wanted a cute little sister or something."
"Go to hell, Tony." Zhou Yi couldn't help cursing. He made a gesture and walked towards the elevator.
And Mr. Stark just responded with the same gesture, and at the same time did not forget to remind: "And buddy, don't forget about the party. I'll let Jarvis inform you when it's done."
"Don't worry, I won't forget this kind of thing. But, are you going to invite Pepe? I'm really curious." After saying this, Zhou Yi took the elevator and left Tony in the Stark Building. private floor.
"Wow, are you really unwilling to take any loss?" Tony smiled, but his eyes floated to a three-dimensional image that displayed the lovely Pepe. Miss Boz. "However, why would I be reluctant to invite her?"
