Chapter 1515 Burning Money
"Mr. Lynch...do you have anything to explain?"

Little Fox, who presided over the meeting, asked Lynch very considerately. After getting a negative answer from Lynch, he continued to the next session.

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

Fox Films will spend about [-] million yuan to build Fox Studios.

After it is completed, it will usually be used as a landscape for tourists to play for a fee. If anyone wants to shoot a large-scale production, they can also rent their city.

Rent, or box office split, they all accept it!
In the era of lack of film special effects production, framing is almost the most important part of all movies.

Proper framing of the scenery can save a lot of trouble. Why are studio movies so popular now?

Is it because people have a hard time finding the right scene?

Many movies are "detailed". They will not shoot those magnificent scenes, but shoot some close-up shots as much as possible to save costs and avoid the problem of incompatibility in the composition of the screen.

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

Some evaluation agencies in Bupain have put a red mark of "recommended holding" for Fox Films...

As Lynch predicted before the meeting, his stake was compressed to 12.00%, down from 15.00%.

If it wasn't for the insufficient amount of funds entering, maybe they planned to dilute his equity to less than [-]%.

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 rise in stock prices.

During the dinner, Lynch found Fox Jr. and talked to him about his plan to leave.

After hearing this, Little Fox was so surprised that he was shocked!

"Is it because of... the financing?" He asked, "If so, I must apologize to you, and I can transfer the shares in my hand to you unconditionally..."

He seemed to want to try his best to make up for Lynch, but these words, it will always be just words.

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

Even if he agreed straight away, would little Fox do that?
He also won't, he always has a way to perfunctory the past, but at that time, he will make a fuss because of his casual promise, so that he can't even be a friend.

Lynch found a reason, "It's my own reason. You know I held an awards ceremony with those from the academy last year. As the chairman, if I participated in the operation of the production company, some people would definitely be concerned about it. Opinion."

"But I don't want to transfer these shares to others. Maybe you will be willing to hold it?"

At this moment, Little Fox was a little bit moved. He currently holds only a little over 12.00% of the shares. If Lynch's 20.00% can be added, he can hold a total of [-]% of the shares.

The power converted from these shares can give him more confidence in the board of directors' decisions, but...he doesn't have that much money in his hand.

He had to spend at least 1000 million to buy Lynch's shares, but he had no money.

I saw little Fox's hesitation, hesitation and the sense of urgency hidden by him——

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

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

Once Lynch leaves, these shares are no longer in his hands...

Little Fox fell silent.

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

Lynch took a sip of the fine wine in his glass and said softly, "You seem to be in some trouble?"

Little Fox was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded, "I don't have enough money..."

He didn't finish or continue, but Lynch made up for him.

"...but you want my shares, 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."

"This way you get what you want, and I got rid of these stocks. It's not long before I leave the awards, and I can't wait too long."

"If you don't know who to talk to for a while..." Lynch picked up his glass and drank the last few drinks in one gulp, and put the glass on the tray in the hands 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 a sum of 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 the money, you can pay it back slowly."

"If you go to a bank or someone else, we don't talk about the interest rate. They will make things difficult for you just for mortgages. We all understand this!"

Yes, Little Fox knew very well that the initial cooperation between their father and son and Lynch was to play this kind of trick.

If he wants to get a loan from the bank, he has to take out at least about 2000 million yuan in collateral before the bank will grant him a 1000 million yuan loan, which is obviously not cost-effective.

Borrowing money from Lynch is obviously the best choice.

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

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

Lynch lent Fox Jr. 350 million at one time to purchase 12.00% of Fox Films’ shares in Lynch’s hands. Every year, he needs to pay Lynch [-]% interest as interest, which is currently the Federal Bank’s Lending rates.

If it is less than one year, it shall be calculated as one year.

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

For example, if he is not given a forced end time, he can continue to borrow, but he has to pay interest.

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

It doesn't matter if he can't pay the interest incurred for one year, Lynch will allow him to owe for one year, but the interest will continue to increase at the rate of one-thousandth of a day until the next cycle.

These are all from Lynch's side. If Little Fox gets rich in the next year, he can pay off the principal and interest in one lump sum, and the naturally mortgaged shares will also be completely owned by him.

After reading it, the lawyers of both parties said that there is no problem, and the contract will take effect after signing.

Although Little Fox always felt that there was something wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he could only regard these as his own wild thoughts.

For Lynch, he lent money to Little Fox to buy his own stock. Even if he paid back the money immediately, the business would not be considered a loss, at least he made a profit of close to [-]%.

If it drags on for a few years...

Hope that the financial revenue of Fox Films can be normal, Lynch silently bless Fox and Fox Films.

Lynch didn't attend the later prom, and if it wasn't for these contracts that required him to be there, he wouldn't even plan to come.

Silent all night.

The next morning, after rejecting Little Fox's invitation, Lynch took the train back to Bu Paine directly.

During his stay in Laltmore, Mr. Truman has returned to Bu Paine, and the general election has officially entered the countdown.

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

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

Federal politicians always present themselves in a very decent way. In the Federation, the so-called bottom-level presidents are not exactly "bottom-level" in the true sense.

Those dentists, teachers, cobblers...

Can these people and these jobs be counted as the real bottom?
Obviously not, the worst of these people can also be said to be middle-class families.

This makes them always have some...indescribable feeling in terms of bearing and momentum.

Gentleness and generosity are enough, but there is a lot less strength, and it is not close enough to people's lives.

Not everyone is a dentist, teacher and cobbler, but there are military families who have served, and there are millions!
If there is anyone who can really represent the bottom, then maybe Mr. Truman is closer to the word.

Coupled with his heroic appearance, he is also the best one among all the candidate posters!
After returning to Bu Paine, Lynch also joined the work of the campaign office. In fact, it may not be necessary to say how difficult this job is.

The hard work is done by those politicians. Their face is easier to use than Lynch's face, 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 hard the campaign burns. Every morning, Lynch has to send money to the designated accounts of the local social service bureaus in swing states.

Because Mr. Truman's poster was posted in places where it is not allowed to be posted in order to appear in people's sight in a larger area, he had to pay a fine for it.

Even if things are done, the anti-fees ranging from thousands to tens of thousands every day are just because the fines for posting illegal posters are hundreds of thousands to millions every day!
In addition, buying various advertising time on TV stations to broadcast election advertisements, organizing students or workers to participate in election gatherings, any one of them will cost money!
The money in the bank account will decrease a lot every day. If it is not for Lynch and the military industrial group to lay a solid foundation for it, it may not be able to reach the end, and it will stop because of lack of money.

However, these crazy spendings are also effective. In the new round of opinion polls in swing states, Mr. Truman's approval rating has risen to No.2, and there is not much difference from No.1!
