“Pfft,” was the sound Yuri Johnson made when he choked on his own saliva. His reaction was a bit too exaggerated, drawing everyone’s attention towards him. “Ahem, it’s nothing, it’s nothing, cough… you guys continue.” Yuri coughed a few tis and quickly waved his hand to signal everyone to proceed.
Why Yuri reacted this way, Mr. M obviously knew. It wasn’t a big secret. He himself was a bit tipsy. Wasn’t this the sa excuse Finn Lewis used when he acquired WY? Now, he was using this sa excuse on Blizzard… well, Mr. M empathized silently with the people at Blizzard. He wondered if having them as players was a blessing or a curse.
“Are you planning to acquire Blizzard or Activision Blizzard?” Mr. M gave Yuri a sympathetic look before asking his question.
Activision Blizzard and Blizzard were two different concepts. Blizzard was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the French Vivendi Group. Later, the Vivendi Group acquired Activision in the North Federation and rged the two gaming companies into one—Activision Blizzard. Although it operated as one, Blizzard and Activision of the North Federation ran their businesses separately, each with its own managent team.
However, just last year, Activision Blizzard’s managent team bought back most of its shares from their parent company, the Vivendi Group, and once again beca a separate company. Still, the two companies remained intertwined. If Finn wanted to acquire Blizzard, it wouldn’t cost as much, but if he wanted Activision Blizzard, the market value would be much higher— similar to the previous VVY.
Currently, the market value of Activision Blizzard was around 170 billion Federal coins. But, the shares of Activision Blizzard were highly liquid, and about 52% were circulating in the market.
“I’m still considering,” Finn responded. Once he started to acquire Activision Blizzard, the funds the SKYNET Zero provided would be used, not his own money. As to how much the SKYNET Zero had, Finn didn’t want to know, but he knew that even if he did ask, SKYNET Zero wouldn’t tell him.
How that money was earned, Finn also didn’t want to know. With the capacity of the SKYNET Zero, it was possible to manipulate the fundantal database files of a bank and fabricate a few hundred billion Federal coins. With so much money in the world, even fabricating a few hundred billion wouldn’t make a difference.
“Alright, I can give you Kodiak Kennedy’s number.” After thinking for a bit, Mr. M unceremoniously decided not to ask anymore. After all, T Company just owned a part of Kodiak Kennedy’s investnt group’s shares—which owned Blizzard’s shares—putting T company at owning approximate 6% of Blizzard’s shares.
This small share couldn’t affect much. If Finn wanted to take action, his participation wouldn’t impact much. Although he had a significant influence in T company, he owned less than 11% of shares. Oh, wait, after swapping shares with Finn, his shares were down to approximately 8.2%.
The others listened with speechlessness, but while speechless, they were also stunned. Although they knew Finn was the one who aggressively acquired VVY, and that he owned a private car manufacturing plant that produced an incredible car, they really didn’t know much else about him.
They only knew that under his command, WY’s newly-launched ga sold more than 300 million Federal coins in an hour. They considered this a miracle. Apart from this, they knew nothing about Finn.
But now, they had learned a lot. In the ti Finn was chatting with Mr. M, he had already spent over 1.6 billion Federal coins, and he also intended to acquire Activision Blizzard. This ant that Finn had at least 10 billion Federal coins in cash!
Converted to Fla Nation coins, it amounted to a total of 600 billion! They were sowhat shocked. Finn seed to appear out of nowhere. Suddenly there he was, making others feel uncertain and perplexed. Where did the money co from? But where could you make as much money as this? Oh right, they hadn’t even considered the value of the antiques in the room, which were worth at least a few hundred billion Fla Nation coins.
But since the state hadn’t investigated Finn, and he was living so comfortably, it ant that there was definitely no issue with his money. Otherwise, the middle-aged people wouldn’t order cars from Finn, right?
After discussing the specifics of the cooperation with Mr. M, the tea party reached its climax. Finn’s classmates then left, as the atmosphere was sowhat difficult for them, and they couldn’t stay on the second floor forever. Everything in the room was of high value, they couldn’t afford to break anything. So after enjoying this luxurious dinner, most of them left.
Handso Lucas and Cora Franklin also left with these classmates. However, it was reported by Prince that imdiately after leaving Finn’s shop, Handso Lucas slapped Cora Franklin’s face, and she didn’t dare to fight back.
While in the shop, perhaps the classmates were sowhat reluctant to be impolite. But after leaving and being outside, they didn’t have as many scruples. Handso Lucas and Cora Franklin ended up in a rather sorry state. When had Handso Lucas ever been so humiliated? But now, he was humiliated and he had to worry about Finn’s backlash.
Handso Lucas wasn’t an ignorant person, he understood that when it ca to a level of wealth like Finn’s, he could easily deal with him or even his father within a matter of minutes. Which real estate mogul doesn’t have a shady past in today’s age?
However, Finn had no ti to worry about these things right now. He had his hands full dealing with the people inside the room. None of them were weak, all specializing distinct fields. Knowing them would be beneficial for Finn’s future. Naturally, today was just a first eting, as they would certainly join the “Moon of West Lake” club in the future.
There would be plenty of opportunities for cooperation then. So, that day, they mostly just got to know each other. When it was close to 11 pm, the feast finally ended, and only after everyone had left, did Finn, Kay Lee and Sarah Wood drive to Kay Lee’s house.
“Hey, aren’t you disappointed?” Sarah Wood asked Finn from the back seat.
“Why should I be disappointed?” Finn curiously glanced at Sarah through the rear-view mirror.
“Because no one approached Kay Lee today,” Sarah Wood said, stating the obvious..
