1514 Changes

Lynch has been here before.

At that time, tourists and people wearing strange costumes could be seen everywhere. No one would laugh at others because of their weird costumes. They would only find it novel and interesting.

Here, any culture can be tolerated, including sexual orientation issues that are strongly criticized by mainstream society.

Elsewhere, if you saw a bearded man wearing pink high heels dressed like a flamingo, you might look at him with some disgust.

Because you know, this man is different from other men.

But here, everything becomes inclusive.

In addition to these, the biggest change that Lynch noticed this time was that there were more people wearing military uniforms on the streets.

These people are not soldiers on a mission, they are just actors.

As war movies have become popular, major production companies have started shooting plans for many war movies. Sometimes these extras do not need to change clothes.

Get one from the Screen Actors Guild, put it on and run back and forth between several filming locations.

If any city has been least affected by the international situation, Laltimore is certainly among them.

The convoy quickly passed through the city and stopped under a building in the center of the city.

The exterior of the 20-story building is entirely covered with glass curtain walls. The huge "Fox Films" sign is on the top floor. As long as you are within the city center, you can see it when you look up!

It is said that there have been complaints about this building before because its glass curtain wall will reflect sunlight on sunny days, causing people who live or work around it to be very distressed...

And I experience this kind of distress every day.

After several lawsuits, Fox Studios finally installed lift-up double-glazed windows in all affected units without affecting their appearance.

When they encounter sunlight reflection, they can pull down the glass window to block the reflection of the light. When the reflection is over, they can push up the dark glass to restore normal light.

When he entered the building, Little Fox was already waiting for him.

There was a young girl next to Little Fox, who looked like she was only in her early twenties.

It is no exaggeration to say that if she were two years younger, she would be enough to be little Fox's daughter, but now she is holding little Fox's arm, her face is full of sweetness.

Sometimes those people are absolutely right.

Having money... is so damn good!

Lynch got out of the car and stood beside the car. Little Fox and his girlfriend took the initiative to greet him. After shaking hands with Lynch outside the door, the two parties walked into the company's lobby.

This also made many people curious about Lynch's identity.

Lynch was wearing sunglasses today. He couldn't help it. The October sun was too damn dazzling, but he couldn't be stubborn for much longer.

The north has begun to cool down across the board, and it is said that more people will flee from Marillo this year.

But... who cares?

People were speculating on Lynch's identity, and Lynch entered the elevator with Foxx and his entourage.

His office is on the penultimate floor, a very spacious office.

The glass curtain wall allows people standing here to gaze at the city at any time. Working in such a place will always breed a kind of ambition unconsciously.

Because the world is at your feet, this joy of conquering the world will make people full of strong self-confidence.

After several people sat down respectively, and after Little Fox's secretary brought tea and cakes, the door to the room slowly closed.

"Thank you very much for coming. Without you, I don't know what I would do!" Little Fox breathed a sigh of relief.

The second round of financing required by the board and shareholders will continue to dilute existing shareholders unless they come up with more money to maintain their current shareholdings.

Sometimes capital is indeed nothing, because it doesn't care whether you want it or not, and will arbitrarily deprive you of your power in the company. It's just that you are not richer than others!

Now Fox Jr. is no longer a major shareholder in the true sense. Of course, he still holds a lot of shares. What he can really call "relying on" in the board of directors and shareholders is Lynch and the stocks in his hands.

Lynch came and expressed his support. Even if the directors and shareholders were dissatisfied with him, they could only hold their noses and admit it.

Lynch's current market situation is completely different from that of a few years ago.

No one would offend Lynch for a small gain, no one is that stupid.

If there were really such stupid people, he wouldn't be able to make so much money, let alone stand with them.

Lin Qi nodded slightly, "How much do you plan to raise this time?"

Little Fox pursed his lips and said, "Seventy-five million to one hundred million."

"That's a lot!" Lin Qi was a little surprised after hearing this.

This number is actually not just a little too much, but a very large amount. In fact, Fox Pictures is only worth about 30 to 50 million at this time, and its one-time financing exceeds its actual total market value.

This was not a simple financing. Lynch immediately realized something, "Because of me?"

Little Fox was stunned for a moment, then slowly nodded, admitting Lynch's guess.

Fox Film has developed to this day. For the real shareholders, the person who restricts its development and restricts them from making more money is not Little Fox, not the price of the stock, and not the ever-changing market conditions.

Gu Ju

But Lynch, who always holds 30% of the shares!

Fox Jr. and other shareholders hold the remaining 40% of the shares, and 30% are still circulating on the market. In other words, Lynch's shareholding ratio is too large.

Although he never takes a stand and does not influence the company's decisions, his existence has already made shareholders dissatisfied.

The purpose of this financing is actually to reduce Lynch's shareholding ratio. If the financing can proceed normally, the stocks he holds will only account for about ten percent of the total share capital.

Releasing more than 10% or even 20% of the equity at once is more favorable news for the entire board of directors and all shareholders.

They speak louder at Fox Studios and get more money at the end of each year. As for Lynch...

He is so rich, he shouldn't care so much about this small business!

And even if he cares, he still has to abide by the rules of the federal capital game.

You can't make money alone, you have to bring others with you to make money, otherwise you will violate the underlying rules of the capital game, and everyone will be your enemy!

Lynch may be a bit...but in this regard, he hasn't made a mistake yet.

Lynch looked at Little Fox, "What do you want me to do?"

Little Fox's hands were clasped together and rubbed irregularly. His heart was fluctuating very intensely!

To a certain extent, everything he has now comes from Lynch!

But Lynch does hold too many shares.

He didn't think so before.

At that time, he and Fox Sr. held the other 70%. Lynch's 30% was like...a little bit that would not affect the overall situation.

But as time goes by, Fox Pictures went public and raised funds, and now he only holds 12% of the shares, while Lynch still has that much.

On the surface, it seems that Lynch has always been his strong backing, and outsiders also see it this way, but...

What if?

What if? !

If one day he and Lynch disagree, Lynch can directly deny any of his decisions, and even easily kick him off the board of directors.

After all, Lynch is the real major shareholder, the one with absolute power.

This makes little Fox very conflicted. He wants a safe "rear", but he also hopes that this security can be controlled by himself.

Perhaps seeing his hesitation, Lin Qi was not unhappy or dissatisfied.

This is how business is. If we have a good relationship today and work together, then we are friends.

If we feel that this business cannot continue tomorrow, then we will break up the team, and there will be no hatred or anything like that.

For Lynch, the current scale of Fox Pictures and its profit rate can no longer keep up with Lynch's needs.

The purpose of leaving the shares is just to agree to the old Fox. Since the younger Fox has other ideas, Lynch will naturally not do anything else.

"I have no idea of ​​​​additional investment recently. If you can control the situation, then I may not continue to inject capital."

Lynch's words made Fox feel relieved. He nodded, feeling a little ashamed and embarrassed. He knew that Lynch could tell.

"I might have done something stupid...", he summed it up well.

Instead, Lynch laughed and said, "No, this is not a stupid thing. Sometimes competition can give you motivation."

"So are you going to increase your holdings?"

"Maybe I can give you my subscription rights."

Little Fox nodded, but then shook his head, "It's already very difficult for me to subscribe for my share. I can't eat your share!"

"Okay, when is the meeting?"

"the day after tomorrow."

It didn't take long for Lynch to stand up and leave. He had nothing to say. After being the president for so many years, Foxx always had some ideas of his own.

This is normal, this is not betrayal or betrayal, it is just a kind of growth?

Well, that makes sense.

Lynch did not continue to explore whether there was any other transaction between him and those shareholders. Sometimes people can't see everything clearly, and that's not interesting.

In the evening, Penny ran over, hugged Lynch in the hotel lobby and took a bite.

The reporters who live in the hotel lobby all year round excitedly took photos of the two people's behavior, and people liked to see this.

"I didn't know you were coming!" Penny hugged Lin Qi, her legs were wrapped around Lin Qi's body, and she was a little excited, "You didn't tell me either!"

Lin Qi hugged her, a little helpless, "I just came here to deal with some things..."

"Can you come down first?"
