Blackstone Code

Chapter 1516: burn money

Remember [New] for a second,! "Mr. Lynch...is there anything you need us to explain?"

Little Fox, who presided over the meeting, asked Lynch thoughtfully. After getting a negative answer from Lynch, he began to move on to the next session.

It wasn't until six o'clock in the evening that everything was settled.

Fox Pictures will spend about 100 million yuan to build Fox Studios.

After completion, it will be used as a landscape for tourists to play for a fee. If anyone wants to shoot a big production, they can rent their city.

Rent, or box office split, they all accept!

In the era of lack of film special effects, framing is the most important part of almost all films.

The scenery of the framing is appropriate, which can save a lot of trouble. Why is studio film popular now?

Isn't it because people have a hard time finding the right scene?

Many movies are "detailed", they will not shoot those grand scenes, and try to shoot some close-up shots as much as possible to save costs and avoid problems that cannot be blended in the composition of the picture.

In short, all shareholders are very satisfied with this financing, and the information was disclosed before the meeting was actually completed.

Some evaluation agencies of Bupen have given Fox Pictures a red mark of "recommended to increase their holdings"...

As Lynch predicted before the meeting, his stake was compressed to 12 percent, down from 15 percent.

If it weren't for the insufficient amount of money coming in, maybe they were planning to dilute his stake to less than ten percent.

Lynch is not angry about this, it is all normal capital means and operations, and he is also one of the beneficiaries of this financing and the subsequent stock price rise.

During the dinner, Lynch found Little Fox and talked to him about his plans to leave the venue.

Little Fox was surprised when he heard it, so much so that he was shocked!

"Is it because of... this financing?" he asked, "If that's the case, I must apologize to you, and I can unconditionally transfer the shares in my hand to you..."

He looked like he wanted to do his best to make up for Lynch, but these words were always just words.

No one will take it seriously, and neither will Lynch. .

Even if he agreed, would Little Fox do that?

He won't either, he always has a way to perfunctory, but at that time he will make trouble because of his casual promise that even his friends can't do it.

Lynch found a reason, "It's my own reasons, you know, I held an awards ceremony with those people from the academy last year, and as the chairman, if I was involved in the operation of the production company, there would definitely be some people who would have a problem with it. Opinion."

"But I don't want to transfer these shares to other people, maybe you would like to hold them?"

At this moment, little Fox was a little moved. He now holds only 9.0% of the shares. If he can add this 12% of Lynch, he can hold a total of 20% of the shares. .

The power these shares convert into can give him more confidence in the board's resolutions, but... he doesn't have that much money in his hands.

He had to withdraw at least 10 million to buy the shares in Lynch's hand, but he had no money in his hand.

Seeing little Fox's hesitation, hesitation, and the sense of urgency that he had hidden——

If he can't buy these shares, the shares that belong to his side will become supporters of other positions, and his power on the board will be further weakened.

The reason why he speaks so loudly now is that Lynch is supporting him behind his back, or that everyone on the board knows that Lynch supports him.

Once Lynch leaves, these shares are not in his hands...

Little Fox fell silent.

Lynch stood beside him with a glass of wine, waiting for him to think. For a few minutes, he kept frowning.

Lynch took a sip of the fine wine in his glass and said softly, "It looks like you are in trouble?"

Little Fox was stunned for a moment, hesitated for two seconds, and then nodded, "I don't have enough money in my hand..."

He didn't finish his words or go on, but Lynch helped him make up for it.

"...But you want my shares again, don't you?"

Little Fox nodded, he didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit it.

"It's not difficult. You can borrow a sum of money from someone to buy the shares in my hand, and use these shares as collateral."

"That way you get what you want, and I got rid of the shares, and it's not too long before I'm away from the awards, and I can't wait too long."

"If you don't know who to speak to for a while..." Lynch took the glass and drank the last few wines in one gulp, and put the glass on the tray in the hand of a passing waiter.

He smiled and faced Little Fox, "For example, I can lend you money..."

"You use these stocks as collateral to borrow money from me to buy these shares, and I will calculate them for you at the normal bank loan interest rate."

"This way it belongs to you from now on, and I'm not in a hurry for this money, you can pay it back slowly."

"If you go to a bank or someone else, we don't talk about interest rates, just mortgage they will make things difficult for you, we all understand that!"

Yes, Fox Jr. knew very well that their father-son and Lynch first collaboration was to play this kind of shit.

If he wants to take a loan from the bank, he has to put up at least about 20 million in collateral before the bank will grant him a loan of 10 million, which is obviously not worth it.

Borrowing money from Lynch was clearly the best option.

Coupled with the long-term cooperative relationship between the two sides, Fox finally agreed.

Half an hour later, under the witness of their respective lawyer teams, the two parties signed a very strange loan contract.

Lynch lent Fox 13.5 million at one time to buy 12% of the shares of Fox Films in Lynch's hands. He needs to pay Lynch 9.3% interest every year as interest. This is also the current Commonwealth Bank lending rate.

Less than one year will be calculated as one year.

Of course, as a good friend, Lynch also gave Fox some preferential treatment in the loan.

For example, if he is not given a forced closing time, he can keep borrowing, but he has to pay interest.

As long as he pays interest for one year, then he can continue to use the loan until the next cycle of settlement of interest.

If he can't pay the interest generated for one year, it doesn't matter, Lynch will allow him to owe one year, but the interest will continue to increase according to the interest of one thousandth per day until the next cycle.

These are all on Lynch's side. If Foxx becomes rich in the next year, he can pay off the principal and interest at one time, and the natural mortgage shares will be completely owned by him.

The lawyers of both parties said that there was no problem after reading it, and the contract took effect after the signing.

Although Little Fox always felt that something was not right, he couldn't tell what was wrong, and he could only take these as his own thoughts.

For Lynch, he lent money to Little Fox to buy his own stock. Even if he repaid the money immediately, the business was not a loss, at least he made a profit of nearly 10%.

If it drags on for a few years...

Hope that the financial revenue of Fox Pictures can be normal, Lynch silently blessed Little Fox and Fox Pictures.

Lynch didn't attend the later ball, and if it wasn't for these contracts requiring his presence, he wouldn't even plan to come.

Silent all night.

The next morning, after declining Fox's invitation, Lynch took the train back to Bpein.

During his stay in Laltimore, Mr. Truman had returned to Bopeng, and the general election had officially entered the countdown.

Even the train back to Bupen was covered with campaign posters and slogans.

I have to say that Mr. Truman is still very photogenic. He wears a military uniform without a military rank and stands in front of the national flag, giving people a feeling that he has never had before!

Federal politicians always present themselves in a decent manner, and in the Commonwealth, the so-called bottom-level president is not exactly "bottom" in the true sense.

Those dentists, teachers, cobblers...

Can these people and these jobs be considered the real bottom?

Obviously not, the worst of these people can be said to be middle-class families.

This makes them always have some... indescribable feelings in their bearing and momentum.

Gentleness and generosity are enough, but they are much less strong and not close enough to people's lives.

Not everyone is a dentist, a teacher, and a cobbler, but there are millions of families who have served in the military!

If anyone really can represent the bottom, then Mr. Truman may be closer to the word.

Coupled with his heroic appearance, he is also the best one among all the candidate posters!

After returning to Bopein, Lynch also joined the work of the campaign office. In fact, it is not necessarily how difficult the job is~lightnovelpub.net~.

Those hard-to-do jobs are all done by those politicians. Their face is better than Lynch's, and what Lynch has to do is to burn money like crazy!

Those who have not been involved in this process will never know how ruthlessly the campaign money is burned. Every morning, Lynch has to make money to the designated accounts of the local social service bureaus in the swing states.

Because Mr. Truman's poster was in the public eye for a larger area, it was posted in places where it was not allowed, for which a fine was paid.

Even if things are done, the counter-fees can range from thousands to tens of thousands every day, just because the fines for illegal posting of posters are hundreds of thousands of millions every day!

In addition, buying various advertising time on TV stations to broadcast campaign advertisements, organizing students or workers to participate in campaign gatherings, everything costs money!

The money in the bank account will decrease by a large amount every day. If it is not for Lynch and the military industry group to lay a solid foundation for it, maybe it will stop because of lack of money in the end.

However, these crazy spending is also effective. In the new round of polls in swing states, Mr. Truman's approval rating has risen to the second place, and there is not much gap with the first place!
