Hogwarts: The Wizarding World's First Capitalist
Chapter 458: Lucius is bullied by his own memories
"Of course." Lucius looked at the bewildered Mr. Zachary Ward. Instead of being angry, he looked very proud.
"Your little tricks are totally insignificant in my eyes. Don't forget that I am a wizard. Your Muggle tricks are nothing to me."
"Of course, I am presumptuous, sir."
Looking at the self-satisfied Lucius, Mr. Zachary Ward just felt funny in his heart. He didn't even think about himself as a dignified elite in the financial city.
I have to deal with so many top wealthy people and the world's smart people every day, so I have to make sure that everything I say is watertight.
That could be considered flawless. How could he make such a low-level and stupid mistake? He deliberately exposed such a flaw to the other party.
Otherwise, if everything goes too smoothly, it will arouse the other party's suspicion. It is better to let the other party experience the feeling of being Sherlock Holmes.
This can not only satisfy the other person's vanity, but also arouse the other person's interest.
Just as he expected, after a moment of complacency, Lucius asked in a pretentious manner.
"The MAT Technology Company you just mentioned is owned by Mr. Hohenzollern, right? I remember his company is not in the United States, right?"
"Yes, that's right." Mr. Zachary Ward nodded repeatedly and explained.
"The situation here is very complicated. Let's just say that this is two entities under one sign. Please allow me to waste some of your time."
"Listen to me..."
Mr. Zachary Ward, who looked both mean and silly, immediately transformed himself into a professional financial elite.
Let’s start by explaining from a professional perspective the mutual subordination and relative independence of the two companies.
There is also the political relationship between the European Community and the United States, as well as the game of interests involved.
"Anyway, to sum it up, this is actually a very unique situation because it will split a super multinational company into two entities."
"One is responsible for design and the other for production. It's like a person whose brain remains in the United States but whose body remains in Europe."
"What's even more frightening is that due to the EC's policies, once an individual or company holds more than 5% of the shares of the new company."
"You can actually participate in the day-to-day management, which may affect the operation of the company, but at the same time it will bring huge benefits."
"Because it means that someone can manipulate or force Mr. Hohenzollern through this means."
"It would make him pay more interest or overdraw the company's development potential."
"Force him?" Lucius couldn't help himself when he heard this. He stared at Mr. Zachary Ward with wide eyes and asked excitedly.
"Are you sure? It can influence him. That guy is not someone who likes to accept other people's suggestions."
"You are sure you can do this."
At the end of the day, Lucius did not call Karl Mr. Hohenzollern, but always used the word "he" instead.
Mr. Zachary Ward realized this immediately, and as someone who holds a master's degree in psychology from Oxford University, he made an immediate judgment.
As for Mr. Hohenzollern, the reason why he behaved like this was either because he hated him very much or he was afraid of him from the bottom of his heart.
The current situation seems to be a bit of both. Lucius must be both hating and fearing him. Now that he has finally found an opportunity, he can't wait.
The reason why I didn't make a decision immediately was simply because I lacked some self-confidence.
Mr. Zachary Ward, who understood this point, immediately said firmly.
"Of course sir. Everything in the Muggle world, at least in the high-level games, everyone is willing to abide by the laws and rules of the game."
"The equity fundraising this time is written very clearly. According to the laws of the European Community and the United Kingdom, even if Mr. Hohenzollern still holds more than 15% of the shares."
"And other subscribing institutions, the 45% of shares handed over to him for management, the total shareholding has exceeded 60%, but as long as an individual or institution holds more than 10% of the shares."
“We would be able to get a seat on the board, and since our seat is held separately.”
"We will have a big say in many important decisions, and we can also use legal means to cause all kinds of trouble for the company."
"Any lawsuit would be enough to get him into trouble."
Hearing this, Lucius felt himself trembling all over. He really hated and feared Carl.
Although the other party has been helping me make money and has been very generous when distributing dividends, it can be said that following him is definitely not a case of him eating meat while I just drink soup.
Logically speaking, he had no reason to hate such a boss, but there was one thing he could not avoid.
That is, Carl didn't think highly of him at all, starting from the first day he met that bastard.
The other party doesn't care about his noble status at all. No, it should be said that he doesn't regard himself as a human being at all.
They used direct violence to force me to submit, and in future business dealings, the other party would often tease me for having no vision and no pattern.
It was as if I was just a bumpkin who knew nothing, and what was even more hateful was those eyes.
That pair of eyes always revealed an undisguised look of disdain, whether it was towards himself or other pure-blood nobles.
The way Carl looked at them was always as if he was looking at a pile of garbage that should have been thrown into the trash can long ago.
This kind of mental bullying day after day has made Lucius a little neurotic, once the matter involves Carl.
However, he was unable to maintain his usual calmness. He always felt that those unremitting gazes were surrounding him, making him feel uneasy and uncomfortable.
"Sir? Sir?" Mr. Zachary Ward on the other side looked at Lucius who was standing there motionless.
In fact, he didn't need to think too much to know what the other person was thinking. He just found it funny in his heart, but in reality he pretended to care.
While calling softly, he took a cup of steaming mulled wine from the fireplace next to him like a lackey.
"Have some hot red wine, sir. This is top-notch Italian flavor. This VIP is connected to the bank's kitchen."
"There are some of the best chefs in the world in the kitchen. You can choose any dish you want, and it will be delivered through the delivery channel."
"Teleport safely to the window just now. Only a top noble like you can enjoy the world's top service."
These words of flattery brought Lucius back to his original state of being obsessed with one thing, and he nodded in satisfaction.
Then he took a few deep breaths, looked up at the other person and asked seriously.
“Can you buy 10% of the stock? How much would it cost?”
