It’s another weekend, and it’s the busiest time of the week in Odis. Starting from Friday afternoon, tourists from all over the country begin to gather in Odis. For the casinos in Otis City, there is no off-season or peak season at all. The casinos are overcrowded all year round, waving chips and throwing them into the betting areas hysterically.
In the top-floor office area of 777 Lucky Casino, seven major shareholders are sitting and discussing the next operations such as the concentration of ownership.
They registered an offshore company in Etambouville. The management fee in Etambouville is not the cheapest, but it is indeed the most suitable place.
As a small neutral country, Itambuville does not have any pillar economic industries. Its national fiscal revenue mainly comes from two places, one is tourism, and the other is collecting management fees and bank service fees from these offshore companies.
Every year, they will collect four levels of management fees from all companies registered in offshore legal zones based on the company's registration scale. The highest level is only equivalent to more than 3,300 Imperial Stars. Absolute neutrality in diplomacy has made Itambville a gathering place for various leather companies. They will not disclose any information related to offshore companies to the outside world. This has also made Itambville National Bank become the world's largest bank. One of the safest banks.
Security does not mean that the security mechanism of the National Bank of Itambuville will not be broken or that the vault will not be robbed, but it refers to the information of depositors, the flow of funds, etc. Of course, for this reason, each account needs to pay a management fee of no less than one thousandth to the bank every year, which is also an astonishing amount.
They registered a management company called "Hemei" in Itambuville, and through various methods, they have successfully acquired 19.1% of the shares of 777 Lucky Casino from shareholders. It can be said that, Judging from the current situation, Hemei Management Company is already the largest shareholder of 777 Lucky Casino.
On the surface, these people did not take the initiative to report changes in shareholders and equity to the General Chamber of Commerce, which made people still think about the shareholder situation of 777 Lucky Casino. This is also a way for them to hide their behavior and deceive certain people. The ways of people.
Seeing that Hemei Management Company holds more than 20% of the shares of 777 Good Luck Casino, it is not easy to continue to cover up some things, at least from 777 Good Luck Casino to Hemei every month Dividends from operations cannot withstand verification. The next step is to start the sprint to promote the centralization of casino shares faster.
The method they chose was what Dulin had promised but so far has not been realized - the Otis City package listing plan.
In fact, this is just a gimmick and cannot really be realized, but it does not prevent Dulin from using this plan to fool many people into investing heavily in Otis City, which also promotes the rapid development of Otis City.
Now, these people plan to put aside the entire city of Odis and promote the listing of 777 Good Luck Casino alone. Once the casino is successfully listed, the shares will be diluted after the additional issuance of shares. With the 20% of the shares held in its hands, Hemei can fully propose to the Empire Securities Commission to acquire the Lucky Casino and start taking proactive actions.
Once this kind of large-scale capital operation is involved, even if Dulin found out, it would be very difficult to stop it. He can warn shareholders not to sell their stocks, but he cannot stop Hemei Management's acquisition plan. When Hemei Management's shares exceed 38%, according to the current rules and regulations implemented by the General Chamber of Commerce, it will It is possible to propose convening a general meeting of shareholders and conduct a vote by all shareholders on changes to the internal shareholding structure at the general meeting.
How could a group of people who were originally facing the outside veto it
As long as the vote is passed, Hemei Management Company can legally and reasonably fully control the vast majority or even all the equity of Lucky Casino. This company, which is entangled in Dulin's layers of protection net, can also smoothly break away from Dulin's system. . As for whether they will sell Hemei Management Company to a consortium after the vote, or continue their own operations using the convenience of offshore companies and foreign policies, that is a matter for the future.
"I talked to the executive members of the General Chamber of Commerce and the senior management of the Securities and Futures Commission yesterday. They are very supportive of our ideas. The documents from the General Chamber of Commerce are in the process, and the Securities and Futures Commission has verbally promised that there will be no problem. , But we still have to wait a few days.” Chap, the shareholder who first proposed the centralization of shares, was not the most eye-catching among the management of Lucky Casino, but he was the most ambitious.
Attracted by Du Lin's original plan to package and go public, he sold off all his properties in various places, and then put all his money in Odis, hoping that one day his assets would increase dozens or hundreds of times.
Although the plan has not been implemented yet, his wealth has increased dozens of times. The development of Otis City is obvious to all. A large amount of money flows into the city every day, and is eventually divided up by these big bankers. But his ambition is not satisfied with this. He hopes to get more benefits, such as more equity in a casino.
Just an income of 2.5% is enough to increase his family property dozens of times. If this income becomes 10% or 25%, will his assets be able to challenge some A big capitalist with a long history
The shareholder sitting on the other side had a worried look on his face, "I don't know what happened to make the SFC so slow. Is it possible to put pressure on the SFC in other ways to make the results appear earlier?" Some?" He took a sip of wine and calmed down his inner worries. "I'm very worried whether Dulin has seen through our plan, so that's why Weber acted differently. In addition, I think Mags's previous speech also had something to do with it. Big question.”
"You mean tax reform?" Chap asked, then he shook his head and looked at the others, and said nonchalantly, "Our monthly accounts are very good, and I can also do a good job on it." I want to assure you that we have never fooled the Imperial Tax Administration on tax issues. We have paid the taxes we need to pay in full in every installment. They cannot find excuses to attack us for tax reasons. "
"As for Maggs' tax reform, my personal view is actually more optimistic than yours. We all know that there are always big problems in the tax system. Maggs wants to challenge almost all capitalists in society, and he will The attention of the whole society is attracted to his battle with those capitalists, which is more beneficial to us. "
"After the marriage between Dulin and the Timamont family, Dulin can be regarded as part of the Timamont political group. In order to ensure that Mags's tax reform does not die midway and cause huge losses to the Mags political group, he will also Focus on those people, not us."
"This is our best opportunity. Of course, I don't object to the idea put forward by Mr. Richardman just now. I will go to the Imperial Capital again tomorrow morning to discuss with people from the Securities and Futures Commission how to improve our listing approval process. ", Chap drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, and turned his gaze to the city filled with lantern riddles outside the window, and everyone in the room became silent.
Just below them, a very special group of guests entered the rooftop VIP room.
There will be such a VIP room in all casinos in Otis City. Some places, such as 777 Lucky Casino, will use the word "top" to describe such a VIP room and the guests inside. In other places, the name may be slightly changed, such as "Supreme" Words like these are meant to reflect the specialness of this level and the dignity of all guests.
"This is His Royal Highness the Prince of the Principality of Orix, who will join our card game today..." The organizer of the card game was introducing today's new partner, a His Royal Highness, to the guests in the room.
Of course, no one would take it seriously. The history of the Principality of Orix is no secret in this room. The Ogdin people who re-emerged after the demise of the Guart dynasty wanted to gain more political initiative. The princes of the principalities during the Te dynasty made a move to qualify them to establish a royal family to ensure that they supported the legal status of the Ogdin people.
Before that, Ogdin people mostly appeared as slaves. This was not in line with the self-positioning of the royal family and even the newly established Shining Star Empire in the international community. An empire composed of slaves
So they need more support to gain orthodox status and successfully tamper with history... Well, all the victors in history are good at recording history.
Although this young gentleman is called a prince, people in the room may not really regard him as a prince.
"Tonight's card game, the base bet is one thousand, no upper limit, no rules. If you have no objections, then our gambling game will officially begin." As the organizer's inquiry ended, a large amount of cash and cashier's checks appeared in the room Here, the only thing missing is chips.
Although chips are very convenient, especially after Dulin made a batch of chips with a maximum denomination of 100,000, for the gentlemen here, chips will never be as convenient as cash, checks and cashier's checks.
They don't have to wait in line to exchange cash for chips, and then go to the party after the game to exchange heavy chips for cash or checks.
A thin promissory note, weighing only a few dozen grams, is worth hundreds of thousands or millions, and is more reliable and safe.
This was a gambling game without any accidents like before. Big capitalists from all over the world sat at the table and squandered money that ordinary people could not earn in several lifetimes or dozens of lifetimes, just for that momentary heartbeat. Feel.
But it was such a gambling game that was exactly the same as before without any accidents. Something different was happening somewhere that people didn't notice.
The servants of His Highness the Prince seemed to be sitting in the corner of the room feeling a little uncomfortable. They put their hands on the boxes they carried with them to hold cash, checks and cashier's checks in a very petty manner, and coughed from time to time.
Some people frowned and said nothing out of good manners, but they didn't know that this frail follower would cough, not because of poor health. He coughed to cover up the flash of the shutter of the working camera in the box. the sound of.
