揚fft, was the sound Yuri Johnson made when he choked on his own saliva. His reaction was a bit too exaggerated, drawing everyone抯 attention towards him. 揂hem, it抯 nothing, it抯 nothing, cough you guys continue. Yuri coughed a few times and quickly waved his hand to signal everyone to proceed.
Why Yuri reacted this way, Mr. M obviously knew. It wasn抰 a big secret. He himself was a bit tipsy. Wasn抰 this the same excuse Finn Lewis used when he acquired WY? Now, he was using this same 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.
揂re 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 merged the two gaming companies into one桝ctivision Blizzard. Although it operated as one, Blizzard and Activision of the North Federation ran their businesses separately, each with its own management team.
However, just last year, Activision Blizzard抯 management team bought back most of its shares from their parent company, the Vivendi Group, and once again became a separate company. Still, the two companies remained intertwined. If Finn wanted to acquire Blizzard, it wouldn抰 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.
揑抦 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抰 want to know, but he knew that even if he did ask, SKYNET Zero wouldn抰 tell him.
How that money was earned, Finn also didn抰 want to know. With the capacity of the SKYNET Zero, it was possible to manipulate the fundamental 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抰 make a difference.
揂lright, I can give you Kodiak Kennedy抯 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抯 investment group抯 shares梬hich owned Blizzard抯 shares梡utting T company at owning approximate 6% of Blizzard抯 shares.
This small share couldn抰 affect much. If Finn wanted to take action, his participation wouldn抰 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抰 know much else about him.
They only knew that under his command, WY抯 newly-launched game 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 time 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 meant that Finn had at least 10 billion Federal coins in cash!
Converted to Flame Nation coins, it amounted to a total of 600 billion! They were somewhat shocked. Finn seemed to appear out of nowhere. Suddenly there he was, making others feel uncertain and perplexed. Where did the money come from? But where could you make as much money as this? Oh right, they hadn抰 even considered the value of the antiques in the room, which were worth at least a few hundred billion Flame Nation coins.
But since the state hadn抰 investigated Finn, and he was living so comfortably, it meant that there was definitely no issue with his money. Otherwise, the middle-aged people wouldn抰 order cars from Finn, right?
After discussing the specifics of the cooperation with Mr. M, the tea party reached its climax. Finn抯 classmates then left, as the atmosphere was somewhat difficult for them, and they couldn抰 stay on the second floor forever. Everything in the room was of high value, they couldn抰 afford to break anything. So after enjoying this luxurious dinner, most of them left.
Handsome Lucas and Cora Franklin also left with these classmates. However, it was reported by Prince that immediately after leaving Finn抯 shop, Handsome Lucas slapped Cora Franklin抯 face, and she didn抰 dare to fight back.
While in the shop, perhaps the classmates were somewhat reluctant to be impolite. But after leaving and being outside, they didn抰 have as many scruples. Handsome Lucas and Cora Franklin ended up in a rather sorry state. When had Handsome Lucas ever been so humiliated? But now, he was humiliated and he had to worry about Finn抯 backlash.
Handsome Lucas wasn抰 an ignorant person, he understood that when it came to a level of wealth like Finn抯, he could easily deal with him or even his father within a matter of minutes. Which real estate mogul doesn抰 have a shady past in today抯 age?
However, Finn had no time 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抯 future. Naturally, today was just a first meeting, as they would certainly join the 揗oon 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抯 house.
揌ey, aren抰 you disappointed? Sarah Wood asked Finn from the back seat.
揥hy should I be disappointed? Finn curiously glanced at Sarah through the rear-view mirror.
揃ecause no one approached Kay Lee today, Sarah Wood said, stating the obvious..
