Blackstone Code

Widely known and established by convention is a very special social phenomenon, which has appeared since the first day of the formation of human society and has continued to this day.

People have a consensus inexplicably, when they are at a certain stage, what kind of behavior they will take, maybe no one tells him exactly what to do, and he has already mastered this skill.

From the first purchase of a second-hand entry-level luxury product, he has gradually become a "rich man" in people's eyes. Along with it, besides satisfying envious eyes, there is also people's respect.

This is a very interesting social phenomenon. While we always emphasize the need to respect knowledge and educated people, in fact we only respect power and money.

The middle class needed Lynch in order to maintain their decency and class, and the cheap "upscale" clothes they swore they wouldn't say were counterfeit.

Look, the problem is solved. If Lunett and Lynch don't say anything, the people who bought these people can't spread the word that they are fakes. Is there a more perfect link than this?

No, so no one has to worry.

After leaving Lunit's factory, Lynch thought about another thing. He wanted to acquire Lunit's factory, which was related to some of his next plans, but he also knew very well that now is not a good time. when.

The situation has not yet deteriorated to the stage where the mayor or the entire society has to make concessions, so they are still insisting on deceiving themselves that this is actually a civilized society.

When they can no longer persist and maintain their decency and kindness, they will tear off the hypocritical coat and let people understand that this is not a civilized society, but a society where people "eat" people.

Only under such circumstances, some bills that are regarded as the norms have a chance to be changed, Lynch can wait, he has enough patience.

A little later, he met the mayor's nephew, a big boy named Mark, who looked to be in his mid-twenties or twenty-seven or eighty-eight years old, less than thirty, with some greenness on his face.

He was very enthusiastic, and immediately talked about the conversation between his uncle, the controller of the city, and Lynch's business and his intention to buy shares.

"I have commissioned my friend to do the investigation, and I have to say, Mr. Lynch, you have chosen the right business at the right time, my uncle..." he shrugged, "that is, Langdon The mayor praised your performance very much, he always praised your excellence and excellence in front of family members, which is very enviable."

Mark is a very chatty guy, and people in his role tend to be very chatty, otherwise they wouldn't take the job.

"I think Interstellar Trading Company is a company with great potential. You have an excellent management team and a complete development plan for outsiders. If possible, I would like to take a ride."

In fact, everyone, including Mark himself, knew that he was just an agent in front of the stage, but he could clearly understand his work and scope of rights, otherwise the mayor would not have entrusted him with such an important job.

Lynch nodded. This was something he had agreed with the mayor, "Someone valued us at 70 million, but Mr. Mayor has helped me a lot. I am very grateful to him. I am willing to use the estimated value of 50 million as the bottom line. financing."

He glanced at Mark, who was listening carefully, with a half-smile, "What about you, how much do you plan to ask for?"

Mark suddenly blushed, and he scratched his head in embarrassment. This action made him look a bit like a nerd who was facing a girl for the first time in school, a little embarrassed and embarrassed.

But this kind of situation appeared in the current environment, but it didn't mean it was a good thing. Lynch knew that the other party wanted the lion to speak up.

Everyone actually has some small movements to conceal their inner thoughts. Lynch forced himself to unify all natural and unnatural habitual behaviors, emotional expressions and expression management into a smile. A smile can make people relax their vigilance. Appropriate controls.

Mark's control method may be to make himself look "embarrassed", and he will use some words to bite in conjunction with this method.

In the next second, as Lynch expected, he said embarrassedly, "I didn't know the valuation would be so high. I only prepared 800,000 yuan, but I want 3% of the shares. My There seems to be a problem with the information channel, what should we do?"

According to federal and financial-related laws, an individual who owns 3% of a company's stock can attend the board of directors, and more than 5% can attend the board of directors. The proportion of shares he wants is very delicate.

Three percent is not offensive, because stockholders are not eligible to speak on the board of directors or initiate any power-related actions, such as initiating votes, initiating breaks, initiating discussions, etc., they are only eligible to sit Finally, sit at the back or against the wall, and listen to the board of directors quietly, and they cannot express their opinions.

It doesn't make people feel too disgusted with them, they are like a decoration used to decorate the board.

But attending the board of directors is very valuable, because they have completed the first phase of share acquisition. In the Securities and Finance Law, if a person holds more than 3% of the stock, he must submit a statement to the relevant agency and make it public to the public.

The second stage is 5%, that is, becoming a major shareholder who can attend the board of directors.

If a person does not follow the rules and gives two statements, that is, 3 percent and 5 percent statements, then it can be determined that this is a hostile takeover or even suspected of illegal rights and improper transactions behind the scenes, and the company involved can file a lawsuit To delay some of the problems here.

The advantage of this is that when someone buys 3% of the stock, if the company thinks something is wrong, it can respond in a timely manner, such as raising the stock price to force the buyer to have insufficient funds to meet their demand for the share ratio, and give up the acquisition.

The 3% in Mark's hands can be directly increased to 5% without a statement, and without Lynch's knowledge, he can gain the right to attend the board of directors.

When a deputy of the mayor gains the power to initiate a vote on the board of directors, one can imagine what a terrible result this will be!

So Mark or the mayor behind him are very shrewd. Maybe the shrewdness comes from themselves, but Lynch believes that Ferrara must know some more specific situations.

Facing Mark's request, Lynch had almost no hesitation or hesitation. Everything went through his mind like lightning, and he agreed with just a blink of an eye.

"The mayor and I are both members of the Progressive Party, we should help each other..." He pursed his lips and nodded, "The contract can be prepared."

Such a quick statement made Mark hesitate. He had talked with many businessmen about buying shares, but these businessmen would always bargain with him. Some even called the mayor angrily, thinking that Mark was playing tricks.

These people are very stupid. There is no doubt that an agent will not have his own ideas. Mark's opinion actually represents the opinion of the mayor. This young man dare not and has no right to change the will of the mayor casually.

Instead of making everyone look ugly, and finally having to bite the bullet and sign the contract, why not just be happy, maybe you can get some extra benefits instead?

Mark looked at Lynch with a strange expression, especially his eyes, as if looking at a fool, or a...

He suppressed a smile, "You are very interesting, Mr. Lynch, I brought the contract..." Then he took out a contract from his briefcase, which made Lynch even more sure that this price is the market price. The long-inspired price, and in Mark's briefcase, there should be a contract.

If he calls the mayor, the mayor and Mark will definitely have a serious "chat", and then change the price slightly, but not too much, so there will definitely be a second contract in his briefcase.

Lynch picked up the contract and read it. There was no big problem. The main content was the transfer price and transfer ratio, as well as how to dilute and reduce holdings when new funds came in in the future.

Lynch flicked the contract, took out a pen and signed his name on the contract, and then Mark.

The two of them each kept a copy, which means the transfer has been completed.

Looking at the cashier's check of 800,000 yuan, Lynch couldn't help laughing. Whether he was happy or unhappy, he would express it with a smile.

When Mark saw him smiling, he was a little puzzled, because the essence of this incident can be said to be a kind of persecution by force, but Lynch not only did not resist, but also kept smiling all the time, which made Mark feel very special and strange .

He couldn't help asking, "Mr. Lynch, is there anything happy to share?"

Lynch came back to his senses and nodded. He raised his eyebrows while putting away the contract and said, "Of course!"

"You know country mice are tricky, and even the best house cat has a hard time catching them, but they've recently invented a new method."

"They use some water full of starch and soup to boil on the stove, wait for the viscous to cool down, and pour it into some places where mice like to haunt. As long as one night, many mice will drown in it."

"The sugar and starch get the rats' attention, but they don't see how sticky it is!"

Lynch stood up with a smile, extended his hand and shook Mark, "I'm very glad that my company has its first partner, but I hope you can keep the price of the deal between us secret, you know, our market value Seventy million, three percent in your hand, is worth two million now!"

"Of course, Mr. Lynch, I know how to do it." Mark shook Lynch's hand hard and then released it. He suddenly thought of something, "Are you free this weekend? Maybe we can go play golf, or Find a place to drink something."

Lynch shook his head, "I'm going to attend a meeting at the town hall this weekend, next week."

"Okay, next week!"
