Chapter 1625 Hello, I Am the Clown!
After Jiang Hao left, the meeting room suddenly became noisy. No one was willing to give up their interests, and such huge interests.
What was written in the agreement that made the shareholders so angry?
In fact, it was very simple. He was going to touch these people's cake, and he wanted to cut off a big piece.
Now the name of Angel is in full swing, and it is the world's brightest superstar. The value it has is immeasurable. Jiang Hao used this as capital and asked to invest in Water Company as an "angel".
The most important thing is that he actually opened his mouth and asked Water Company to deduct 50% of the existing shares of the listed part.
What does it mean?
It means that all shareholders must give him half of their shares.
You know, Water Company has a market value of 200 to 300 billion. It is the largest superpower company in the United States and even the world. Its business includes medical research, material research, security affairs, advertising and other aspects, and its annual revenue exceeds 100 billion.
In the meeting room of Water Company, all shareholders were extremely angry. Many people here felt that it was crazy for a company's contracted hero to dare to put forward such conditions.
Someone looked at Greg House, who was sitting in the upper seat, and asked, "Greg, you are the largest shareholder of the company. What do you think about this matter?"
Greg House looked at the person who asked the question, glanced at the other shareholders, put down the cigar in his mouth, and said lightly, "To be honest, I read this agreement yesterday, and my idea is, I agree."
Buzz~!
Originally, the shareholders thought that Greg House would definitely stand on their side, but they never expected that he would agree.
At this time, someone loudly accused: "I know that your cancer needs angels to help you treat and stabilize it, otherwise you will not live for more than a year, so you gave in, right? But you can't use everyone's money for favors!"
Greg House spread his hands and said lightly: "I only talk about my own share, no one represents you."
"Even if you yourself should not agree, your shares are worth 40 billion, are you really willing to give them away?" Someone asked loudly.
"If it's compared to my life, I'm willing to do it. Also, if I don't do this, I won't be able to keep my shares either."
Someone looked at the black president Stan Iger, who owns 3.4% of the shares. "Iger, Angel has signed a contract with the company. He is just an artist of the company. What qualifications does he have to use the identity of Angel as a threat? We can completely tie him down with the contract, right?"
The black president listened to the words of the shareholder and shook his head. "No, the contract Angel signed originally had a penalty of $100 million. It was a lot at the time, but do you think $100 million is a problem for him now?"
"But if Angel leaves Water Company, how much will Water Company lose? I think you should think about it calmly. Last time, the Homelander incident, how much did the company's shares fall? From a high of 218 yuan to 42 yuan, more than 80 % .”
“The company was finally able to stabilize thanks to Angel alone. Now 70% of the company’s revenue comes from Angel. Ladies and gentlemen, when I talked to Angel about this issue yesterday, do you know what Angel said to me?”
“He said that if he left the company, he would be able to take away all the superpowers in the company. To be honest, I don’t doubt this at all. In two days, the government will set up the Superpower Affairs Administration and the Justice League at the same time. Angel will become the leader of the Justice League and have the right to monitor all superpowers. He also has that strength. What do you think will happen to our other superheroes? ”
“If he leaves with other heroes, Vought will lose most of its existing strength, the company will become worthless, and face the crisis of bankruptcy.”
All shareholders realized the seriousness of the problem.
Some people still refused to accept it and said stubbornly: "I just don't agree. What can he do to me? He can even kill me. I don't believe he can really bring down the company."
At this time, Greg House spoke up. He pointed at the shareholder and said unhappily: "Fraser, you are so old, can't you use your brain? Does Angel need to kill you? No, economic means are enough for economic problems."
"I don't believe he can bring down Water Company by himself." Fraser said with his eyes wide open.
Greg House sneered twice and said in a deep voice: "Haha, who told you that he is a person? The human resources that Angel has now have already exceeded your imagination. Do you know how many people's lives he controls, and how much strength and energy these people can involve?"
"I will give you a simple example now. The first is to inject funds to dilute everyone's shares, and then he will acquire them and control them. This is very simple, right?"
"This requires the consent of most shareholders." Fraser said.
"I agree, and I believe there will be others who agree here." House said very simply.
"How can he have so much money?"
"Don't worry, someone will lend it to him. Countless banks are willing to lend it to him."
Fraser stopped talking.
House saw Fraser was silent and continued, "The second is to leave Walter and set up his own company. With his strength and connections, believe me, there will be countless people waving checks and wanting to invest in Angel's new company. Even if it's $100,000 per share, someone will buy it. You know, sometimes money is really nothing.
I can tell you clearly that if Angel decides to do this, I will choose to sell Walter's shares as soon as possible and invest all the money in the new company."
Many people looked gloomy. They have realized that Angel can do this. Anyone can see his investment value.
Even without connections, the capital chasing effect will attract these people.
House was not finished yet, and continued: "And I have to tell you that after Angel leaves, there will definitely be a powerful organization to destroy you, not physically. They will use all economic means to destroy Walter and take the flesh from Walter. As for the superheroes in the company, hehe, even if Angel doesn't speak, someone will pack them up and send them to Angel in the end. Do you believe it?"
"You can resist it. This is everyone's choice. If you can bear it, you can try it."
Everyone was frightened by House's words and their faces were ugly, and their bodies trembled and shivered.
Their thinking was still a few months ago, thinking that Angel was still a little star and actor under their control. Now it is nothing more than a little more famous, but the reality is no longer the case. Angel's energy does not need to use force at all. Using economy and connections is enough to crush them.
At this time, the black president said: "If you agree to this agreement, we will keep half of the current property and tie it to the interests of the angels.
I believe that with the angels, the company's stock will get higher and higher. Think about it, as long as the stock price doubles, the money in your hands will return to its current value. I believe that with the angels, the stock price will definitely grow very high, even beyond the previous highest point."
After a fierce ideological struggle, these shareholders finally compromised and agreed to take out half of the existing shares. Water Company has 20% of its shares in the stock market, and the remaining 80% is distributed among these shareholders.
Two days later, the lawyer signed the agreement, and Jiang Hao got 40% of Water Company's shares without spending a penny.
Before, Jiang Hao made a lot of money by shorting Water Company in the stock market. He used all the money to buy Water Company's shares and held 4.5% of Water's shares.
So, now Jiang Hao is the largest shareholder of Water Company with a 44.5% stake, far ahead of other shareholders.
Jiang Hao looked at the legal documents in his hand and smiled as he put them into the space. In fact, for him, making money is not the first priority. What he wants is to control the power of Water Company, especially the more than 200 superpowers under it.
Although Water Company's superpowers are not all in this world, after so many years of operation, these people are definitely carefully selected, and their abilities and strengths far exceed those of other monsters.
"Should I wash it again and drain the shares of those small shareholders?" Jiang Hao muttered to himself, pinching his chin.
In fact, it is very simple for him to wash shareholders.
Announce the scandal, secretly reveal the news, let Water Company's stock price plummet, and then create some panic remarks, and then find a few people to pass some news to these shareholders. Those who can't stand the shock will choose to sell it quickly, and Jiang Hao can come to buy it at a low price.
Forget it, it's quite energy-consuming, I'll play it when I have time in the future.
The South Lawn of the White House is the first choice for the White House to hold press conferences. Countless presidents have released major news and even speeches here.
Of course,
There are also presidents who denounce reporters as fake reporters and fake news here!
"Fake reporters, fake news!"
Today, the red carpet and podium are set up here again. There are several rows of government bigwigs, speakers and congressmen sitting under the stage, and behind them are groups of reporters, no less than forty or fifty people, all holding long guns and short guns.
The president walked onto the stage and said:
"Just a few days ago, the White House was attacked by superpowers, and I was also hijacked. Now we can see that the White House is severely damaged and is still under repair. This is a very serious incident, which forces us to pay more attention to the superpower group.
After the study and decision of Congress, I am here today to announce that the country will establish the "Superpower Affairs Administration", which is at the same level as the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI. Its main responsibility is to handle all superpower affairs. Now, please invite the new director Steve Trevor to meet you."
"Pa pa pa~!"
There was a round of applause.
Steve Trevor is a middle-aged white man with a very capable look. He went on stage just to make a speech.
The president took the stage again and said with a smile: "The next moment is very exciting. I believe that most of the people watching the live broadcast in front of the TV are waiting for this news, that is, the "Justice League" formed by angels."
He made a gesture of invitation to the side.
Jiang Hao walked out from the side. He was dressed very formally today, with a suit and tie, and his wings were not released. He looked like an ordinary handsome young man. After standing on the stage, he smiled at the audience and the camera of the reporters.
"Wow, wow, wow!"
There was a burst of warm applause from the audience.
Obviously, the popularity of the angel is much higher than that of the director of the Super Power Affairs Administration.
After the applause stopped, Jiang Hao said:
"Thank you for your applause, thank you for coming to witness the birth of the "Justice League" today. I hereby announce that from now on, the Justice League is officially established."
"The Justice League was established because we realized that no matter how powerful a single person is, there are crises that cannot be dealt with. Superheroes gather together and work together. We can serve as the first line of defense to deal with various crises and emergencies, try our best to help the people, and better defend truth, justice and freedom!"
Jiang Hao smiled at this and said, "First of all, I want to explain that the Justice League is not affiliated with the government. It is a non-governmental organization. It only has a cooperative relationship with the Super Power Affairs Administration."
"Now let's meet the first batch of members of the 'Justice League'. There are six of us in total!" Jiang Hao said, making an inviting gesture to the side.
Several people stepped out from behind the barriers.
The first is Batman in a bat suit, the second is Queen Maeve, now renamed Wonder Woman, the third is Starlight, and the fourth is Green Arrow Gum.
People applauded enthusiastically, and then realized something was wrong. Just now the angel said there were six, and four came out. Including him, there were only five people. Why was the other one invisible? Could it be an invisible man?
No, the Invisible Man was said to have been killed by a bomb.
The president and the director of the Super Power Affairs Administration were also very curious. President Golden Retriever stood nearby and asked curiously: "Angel, where is the last member?"
Jiang Hao smiled, "The last member has a special status, so he didn't come to the scene in person. Didn't I ask the staff to prepare 3D stereoscopic projection equipment before? Now let him meet everyone and say a few words. "
The staff turned on the 3D projector. After the image appeared, people all looked at it curiously. At first, there was a red color in the projection. People frowned and didn't know what it meant. Then the camera slowly pulled out, and people found that there was white around the red. They continued to zoom out, and there were people. Finally, they realized that this seemed to be a red nose and a white face. Then people saw a pair of gloomy and melancholy eyes, indifferent and sharp eyes. Many people felt nervous just seeing these eyes.
Some people couldn't help shouting,
"Oh my God, this is a clown!!"
Although only half of the face is exposed, it is enough to let people know who it is, especially the eyes, which make people feel creepy just by looking at them. Although it is daytime, as long as they see those eyes, countless people will feel body shaking. cold.
The clown's eyes on the screen suddenly changed, bringing out a bit of joking, "Hello everyone, I am the clown! I believe many people would not have thought it was me."
"I saw your surprised expressions. I know your hearts must be churning wildly inside. How could it be him, how could it be the clown, right? Hahaha~~~." The clown laughed wildly in the projection.
Everyone present looked at each other in shock.
Almost everyone here has heard of the clown's name and deeds. He robbed banks and then scattered money on the top of the Empire State Building. He fooled the superhero Batman and almost sent him to prison. His reputation spread far and wide, and he was one of the best in the beautiful family. A super rebellious existence that scares countless people.
The Joker joining the Justice League is so unexpected and ironic that many people just feel like their spirits are messy in the wind at this moment.
The corners of the president's mouth twitched.
Councilors and officials were shocked.
Batman's eyes widened in surprise. He never expected that the Joker would become a member of the Justice League. A horse ran past crazily.
The reporters were surprised.
Hundreds of millions of people watching the live broadcast in front of the TV all showed surprised expressions. At this moment, it seemed that the whole world was silent, and only the clown's laughter spread throughout the beautiful home.
