Chapter 233:
Mr. Lynch had a big appetite, according to the business departnt of Sabin City's television station. They had proposed paying Lynch 3,000 per won's rugby match for broadcasting rights and offering a 30,000 sponsorship for the championship prize, but Lynch refused.
From the TV station's perspective, 3,000 per match was already not cheap. After all, it was for a non-professional won's rugby match with no formal league structure, sothing that wouldn't even be officially recognized.
"Paying 3,000 for broadcasting such a match—how could Lynch think that wasn't a good deal?" the sales manager exclaid indignantly to his supervisor. "For that money, we could hire a group of girls, split them into two teams, and have them run around the field in minimal clothing!"
The supervisor simply looked at the salesperson and eventually shook his head, gently reminding him, "Lynch has a better relationship with those advocating for won's rights than we do. Do you understand what I an?"
Seeing the salesperson's puzzled look, the supervisor had to elaborate further. It was both an explanation and a warning for the salesperson not to cross the line.
"Lynch has good connections with many celebrities. President Tracey herself even participated in this won's rugby event because Lynch organized it.
"If it were you or anyone else doing this, those won would likely be protesting by now. Do you understand?"
The supervisor's work exposed him to the higher echelons of society. While many outside might view won's rugby as so kind of indecent adult sport, as long as it had the support of won's rights advocates, no one could label it as indecent or inappropriate.
However, this didn't an that anyone could replicate Lynch's actions. If soone else tried to do sothing similar without their support, even if the won were dressed more modestly than Lynch's athletes, the won's rights advocates would consider it a way of using won to please n—classic gender discrimination and sexual exploitation.
Society operated in ways that were often hard to understand, but it had its own rules. If one couldn't figure out these rules, they'd inevitably run into problems.
Fortunately, the matter had been handed over to the Athletes' Association for resolution. They offered the association a higher price, willing to pay between 5,000 and 20,000 per match depending on the ratings.
To the salesperson, this seed illogical. Why not just offer Lynch the money directly? But these were the invisible rules—unwritten, yet tangibly influencing societal operations. These rules were powerful!
The TV station believed that the Athletes' Association could persuade Lynch. In reality, the association needed to convince the Won's Rights Protection Association advocates, who were not easy to sway and also wanted a share of the profits.
With the association focusing on Ms. Tracey, Lynch shifted his attention back to the company split issue.
He had already inford the board about this, but due to various incidents, it had been temporarily shelved.
Now that the state's social order was beginning to recover, previously delayed matters needed to be addressed.
On the last Monday of December, the shareholders of the Interstellar Trading Company convened for a board eting. Investors from Kurland City attended in person because the eting concerned everyone's interests.
Lynch, mature in deanor, sat at the chairman's seat seamlessly. His presence and aura perfectly matched his position.
As he casually flipped through the docunts in his hands, the room remained silent due to his concentration. Only when he lifted his gaze did the atmosphere relax a bit, with so heavy breaths audible.
For many, it was a magical thing. Lynch always smiled, making people feel his warmth. But when he stopped smiling and beca serious, his formidable aura reminded everyone of his power.
"What are your thoughts on the topics discussed in the last eting?" he asked, crossing his legs and looking at the attendees.
To promote the company's growth, the Interstellar Trading Company was to be split into three companies: an asset managent company as the holding parent company, and two independent companies for trading and auctions.
Given the different directions and types of business, such splits were common for healthy managent and operations, targeting specific trends professionally.
It was like keeping nails in a nails box and hamrs in a hamrs box.
"In principle, there's no issue," replied the Kurland City investors. They held only 5% of the company's shares and were more concerned about the political value of their investnt than its developnt.
Arthur's shell company also had no objections, and the other shareholders were similarly agreeable.
At the current stage, Lynch's shareholding was overwhelmingly dominant. He didn't need their approval to implent decisions; the board eting rely formalized the process.
No one could guarantee they would always hold the largest share of a company. People would sell shares for various reasons. Only by establishing and adhering to rules when powerful could they ensure protection when power waned.
Every eting's cause, process, and outco, including voting details, were ticulously recorded. Future shareholders could understand the company's history and culture by reviewing these records.
Many strong acquirers wouldn't blindly change a company at the initial stage. They respected established rules until they fully controlled the company, then gradually made changes.
This buffer allowed so to achieve their goals.
Lynch had anticipated everyone's agreent. He instructed his secretary to distribute new materials and began discussing the split's details.
"I've had so exchanges with Mayor Langdon, who is interested in my proposal for a centralized second-hand goods trading market and supports it.
"Our first company split from the Interstellar Trading Company will be the Interstellar Trading Market Managent Company. This na is temporary. Suggestions are welco.
"We plan to establish this project in every city in the state, requiring no less than 2,00 acres of land for construction.
"Currently, our funds and assets can't keep up with the company's growth. After the split, you'll have the right to preferentially subscribe to new shares based on your holdings. But I must remind you, the new company will soon seek financing, and assessing the risks is crucial."
Lynch paused, flipping through so sketches drawn by art students—concepts of beautiful buildings, bustling scenes, and unique trading centers in different cities.
Next to them were nurous data points, making it easy to see the value and benefits of this plan.
He had a large piece of undeveloped land in the suburbs, which he could convert into assets for the new company's first financing round, gaining more influence.
Of course, if others were willing to do the sa, he wouldn't object. He wouldn't favor anyone, including himself, in business matters.
Everyone was listening attentively as Lynch continued discussing these detailed matters. In summary, it boiled down to two things.
First, either they put in money to complete the preferential allocation of shares in the new companies being split off, thereby obtaining more equity at a lower price and with greater benefits.
Or they watch the two spun-off companies grow rapidly and regretfully miss out on the enormous dividends of the new companies.
Second, after the company was split, Lynch planned to push for the listing of the Interstellar Trade Asset Managent Company (the renad original company) on the three major exchanges.
With visible profits and favorable policies, leaving such a profitable enterprise unlisted would be foolish. Listing it would attract funds looking to avoid financial risks, making everyone wealthy.Please vote for this novel at /series/blackstone-code/There are advance chapters available nowAccess will be granted 24 hours after the donationTier 1: 7 Advance chapters Link
