Chapter VII: On the Importance of the Stark Industries Shareholding System

"Oh, my dear Uncle Obadai, we have no idea that an important shareholder would be kicked out of the shareholders' meeting, and being late is no big deal for us, right?" Tony Stark naturally would not let the boxer he had finally pulled over and was kicked out without even getting on the ring, so he immediately began to defend Zhou Yi.

And his reason? One thing we all know is that Mr. Stark is definitely the person who is late for the shareholders' meeting the most, no doubt about it.

"I agree with Mr. Stark's statement. Mr. Zhou is an important shareholder. His opinions are absolutely indispensable for our corporate plan." With Tony Stark pushing the cylinder in front, there will naturally be someone who matches it. After Obadai saw this person who made a sound, his already gloomy face became a little more gloomy.

Stark Enterprise is an arms company built during World War II. Because both generations of Stark were unparalleled inventors, Stark Enterprise has become one of the most famous multinational giants in the world with the efforts of two generations.

In the field of high-tech, only a few giants such as Osborne, Hammer Industry and Japan's Yashida Industry are comparable to Stark Industry. To put it bluntly, Stark Industry is the leader.

Such a giant enterprise can crush nearly half of European countries with financial resources alone, so its composition is naturally quite complicated. First of all, its owner Stark, Tony Stark owns about 23% of the company's shares, is the largest shareholder, and is also the owner of many patents that the entire enterprise relies on for survival. These majors are not only Tony Stark's, but also his father's. Therefore, his status is basically unshakable in this enterprise. Unless Stark's stock is bungee jumping.

But not to mention anything else, the American government alone would not let this happen.

Next is Obadai Stein, the veteran who started the company with Tony Stark's father, is undoubtedly the second largest shareholder of Stark Industry, holding about 11% of the shares in his hand. At the same time, he is also the controller of Stark's enterprise, of course that was with Tony Stark's permission.

And further down is Zhou Yi. He only owns two percent of the shares, but with the surge in IT stocks, he used his IT stocks to trade with people from Wall Street and some other shareholders. Gradually, the shares he held increased little by little, until now, 6.7 percent, becoming the veritable third largest shareholder.

About five percent of the remaining shares are in the hands of scattered investors. Wall Street's financial tycoons hold 7% of the total, the US Air Force and the Army military hold 10%, Osborne Industries and Yashida Industries hold 4% and 5% each. This is the party that holds shares on each other, and it is normal for large enterprises.

As for the remaining 28% of the shares, more than 20 different companies and families hold them. According to Stark Industrial's rules, less than one percent of the shareholders do not have the right to participate in shareholder meetings. Therefore, there are only about six or seven people who can attend this meeting.

Of these six or seven people, naturally no one offended giants like Obadai, and it can even be said that most of them followed him. Therefore, the one who made a sound naturally came from others, and the one who was most willing to make trouble was the US military.

After seeing the US military's speech, Obadai knew that there was no need to tear it down. He could only say with a stern face.

"So, that's it. Mr. Zhou Yi, we just mentioned that the company plans to formally conduct transactions in the Middle East and 16 regions. According to our financiers' calculations, the annual profit is about 20 billion US dollars. The Middle East is fighting and Africa is fighting. The more they fight, the more we make. The stronger our country's control over this area will be. I believe everyone understands this truth. If this plan is successful, your dividends will naturally be considerable, right?"

Obadai continued his final efforts, and he wanted to use money to impress the shareholders present. When he heard about profits and dividends, some people really couldn't sit still.

Two hundred billion, a lot. But everyone here knows that this is an open account and is used to file taxes. In fact, the profit is at least doubled and it is definitely a lot richer. Of course, as a financial giant, Stark Industry will naturally not do such things as tax evasion. If you do this, you will be really a tragic death. For the people of the United States, the IRS is definitely the most violent government agency, no doubt. So even Stark Industry will not want to get involved in such a mad dog.

In fact, the United States has always been a well-known country with heavy taxes, especially for such multinational companies. In order to avoid taxes reasonably, every company in the United States and even every rich person has a special accountant to calculate how to avoid taxes. The most common method used by such large enterprises is charity fundraising. What are the fire fundraising, military family fundraising, and African children fundraising. Even if a dog dies, you can find a reason to raise funds. As for the purpose, it is basically to avoid taxes.

How did Tony Stark philanthropist come from? As the boss of Stark Industry, he accumulated fundraising parties one by one. Everyone present has such a title, and most of their purpose is to avoid taxes.

Therefore, dividends have nothing to do with the income on the books. Just like Zhou Yi, if he agrees to this plan, he can only distribute more than one billion according to the dividends of shareholders on the books, but in fact he can receive at least more than two billion in dividends. This is the gap and also a benefit that can make people fascinate.

"OK. We all understand what Mr. Stan means. In fact, no one is willing to be in trouble with Mr. Franklin. But I have a little doubt." Zhou Yi sat next to Tony Stark, looking at the documents prepared by Obadai.

"The list of armed forces in the areas we sell seems not to be friendly to our lovely army. What if one day our missile hits our own people?"

"We don't have our own people, Mr. Zhou! We are businessmen!" Obadai endured the unhappiness in his heart and said word by word in a lengthened tone.

"Of course, I understand!" Zhou Yi smiled, "But don't forget that we are businessmen, but the American people only think that we are Americans. Once my bad idea comes true, then in the face of the angry American people, who do you want to take responsibility? I can declare first, I reject this proposal!"

As soon as Zhou Yi finished speaking, Tony Stark immediately spoke, "Hey! I want to declare that I don't object, but I don't agree. In short, I won't take this responsibility, definitely not!" It seems that because it's very important, Tony said it twice.

The military naturally would not agree with this proposal, and Wall Street also did not want to wade into this muddy water. Of course, these are all guys who are jealous of money, but most of them are Jews, and they have no reason to support those Muslims. You should know that the Jews and Muslims in the Middle East have the most reasons and the most likely fight.

Although they would not take the people of the Middle East too much, they would not do the things that the enemy was investing in and out, and these guys who became elites would not do it.

As for the two companies Osborne and Yashida, they naturally would be happy to see their old rivals lose a big business.

It seemed that in a blink of an eye, Obadai's plan failed. As for the remaining half, even if Obadai used the most fat part of his body to think about it, he knew that there was basically no chance. So he just had a gloomy face and sat in the seat without saying a word, and remained basically silent until the end of the meeting.

Of course, everyone understands that this is not a depression, it is a silent volcano. So, even Tony Stark is quite wisely not stimulating this old guy.

As soon as the meeting ended, Obadai took a group of people and left the Stark Building in his own car. It was obvious that he didn't want to see two bastards. He was like this for at least a while.

Watching Obadai's special car leave his sight, Tony Stark put his glass on his glass and sighed: "It's really annoying now, Yi. Are we a little too much?"

"Excessively, that's your business. Obadai is your uncle, not mine." Zhou Yi rolled his eyes and drank all the champagne in his hand in one sip.

"Hey, man! Can't you understand my sadness? That's the person who grew up watching me!" Tony said dissatisfied, with that expression, if he hadn't known that it was this guy's instructions, he would have thought he was still complaining about his Uncle Obadai.

Zhou Yi had long experienced Tony's shamelessness. Those who can propose to celebrate with champagne after such a thing should not have any expectations for his sympathy. So he just laughed at him and expressed his feelings.

"What does he mean? Man, can I think you are looking for trouble?" Tony was not a good person to talk to, and immediately began to draw swords at his comrades.

Zhou Yi was not a guy who was in a loss and didn't say anything. He replied directly: "Oh, you can bring Hogan with you. I don't mind one-on-two, really!"

After thinking about the fighting ability shown by Zhou Yi, and after estimating himself and Hogan's combat power, Tony wisely changed the topic.

"My man, we haven't seen each other for so long, should I hold a party to celebrate? I believe those cute girls will miss us very much. Of course, I will choose the old rules first, and this time I will let you go. Hogan is not a vegetarian."

"Let's talk about it in a few days, old man!" Zhou Yi put down his wine glass and stood up. "I'm not like you, alone, carefree and free. I have another difficult parent meeting to get through!"

"Oh, it's a trouble that makes you envious." Tony raised his wine glass with a malicious smile on his face. "You know, I always want to have a cute sister or something."

"Go to hell, Tony." Zhou Yi couldn't help but curse, and made a gesture and walked towards the elevator.

Mr. Stark just responded with the same gesture, and also reminded him: "And man, don't forget the party matter. If I get it done, I will let Jarvis notify you."

"Don't worry, I won't forget this kind of thing. But, do you want to invite Pepe? I'm really curious." After saying this, Zhou Yi took the elevator and left Tony's private floor in the Stark building.
