Chapter 639: Chapter 646 Shares

Anton’s abilities were indeed strong; he was the type of all-round special agent who you could just throw any task at and then not have to worry about it anymore.

Anton’s abilities were too strong, and his style of doing things was reckless and unbridled, which put a lot of pressure on Yang Yi, the boss—it’s not easy having an underling as overpowering as Anton.

But the boss of the Organization of Water was Yang Yi, not Anton, not Brian, but Yang Yi.

True, Yang Yi’s capabilities didn’t match Anton’s, but if Anton wanted to be in the Organization of Water, he had to listen to Yang Yi. It was a matter of status, not capability.

If Anton thought he was better than Yang Yi and could ignore Yang Yi’s orders, then his options were to either kill Yang Yi and become the boss himself, leave, or die.

Anton couldn’t kill Yang Yi to become the boss; he wasn’t fit for the role of boss, nor did he want to leave, and he certainly didn’t want to get killed by Yang Yi. Therefore, he had to promptly make a stand, showing a most correct attitude to affirm his current and future submission to Yang Yi’s authority.

If Anton had not shown this attitude just now, or if his demeanor failed to satisfy Yang Yi, he would have likely been quietly taken out by Yang Yi—it would have been too easy, with Kate standing behind him, a simple gunshot could end the seemingly invincible Anton.

Such are the cruel rules of the underworld.

Now it was Boer’s turn to make a stand.

Yang Yi was under a lot of pressure.

Anton was an all-around expert, while Boer, without having been through a disaster that annihilated his status, Yang Yi wouldn’t even qualify to be on equal footing with Boer.

In the finance world, Boer was no longer someone who could simply be summarized as an elite; he was a big shot. So now Boer wanted to flex his muscles, and since Yang Yi virtually had no say in this realm, what to do? Allow Boer to do as he pleased, as before?

So Yang Yi also had to make some things clear to Boer.

Yang Yi’s demand was simple: right now, Boer owed him money and was under his protection, taking from his bowl and eating his food, so Boer had to show the right attitude and understand his place.

Yang Yi suggested clarifying the shares, and Boer replied without hesitation, "I’ve thought it over, I want fifty percent of the shares, take ten percent out of that for Norbert as a dividend, and the remaining fifty percent goes to the Organization of Water. As for how that fifty percent is distributed, that’s your problem."

Yang Yi frowned and said, "Fifty percent, half."

Boer nodded and replied, "Yes, this ratio is fair. You need to understand one thing, although you’re protecting me and provided the initial capital, I myself am worth half the shares. With me, you can get involved in finance and I guarantee you will make money not lose it—without me, everything you invest in is completely meaningless."

Yang Yi sighed and then scratched his head, laughing, "That sounds quite reasonable."

Boer sternly said, "Of course it’s reasonable. You should know if I worked for someone else, my annual salary would be at least one hundred million. At my position, at my level, I’m a talent that can’t be measured by an amount of money."

Yang Yi clapped his hands and declared loudly, "Alright, let’s do it your way, half the shares for you, half for the Organization of Water; that’s not a problem."

Boer started to smile, then he loudly said, "Then, we should have a drink."

Yang Yi shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, no, no, don’t be hasty, I haven’t finished yet. It’s no problem for the Organization of Water to have half the shares, but you forgot about giving me and Xiao Ran our shares. Don’t forget, you owe us a hundred million, as well as a debt for saving your life."

Boer exhaled, and then his smile disappeared.

Yang Yi spread his hands and said, "It’s not good to keep owing a life debt, and it’s not good to always owe money either. How about converting the money you owe into shares?"

Boer said, "Actually, I don’t mind owing you a favor."

Yang Yi laughed, "Oh, that wouldn’t be good. You shouldn’t owe me any favor. Let’s just take the money and the life debt you owe me and Xiao Ran and casually turn it into a share, uh, just a token would be fine, how about twenty percent?"

Boer ground his teeth and said, "Twenty percent of the shares, just as a token?"

"Then how about thirty percent?"

"You want seventy percent, stop talking, I will not concede any further!"

After Boer said this through gritted teeth, he shook his head forcefully and said, "That’s my bottom line, absolutely my bottom line. Even if I need your protection, I must at least keep thirty percent of the shares, otherwise there’s nothing to discuss. I’d rather continue working for you like now than to establish this company."

Letting Boer have thirty percent was also Yang Yi’s bottom line—actually, Boer was indeed worth that much. If Yang Yi gave him less, Boer wouldn’t be as motivated. This condition was only acceptable to Boer because he was in an absolutely weak position. So, as the conversation had reached this point, there was no need to haggle further.

Yang Yi nodded and said, "Alright, let’s settle it like this, thirty percent for you, ten percent for me, ten percent for Xiao Ran, and fifty percent for the Organization of Water."

Boer gave a bitter smile and said, "You’re making a big profit. Believe me, this is by far the most successful investment of your life. I’ll make you a tycoon, as long as I live to make money for you."

Yang Yi very seriously said, "Now that we’ve reached this point, let me make one thing clear, I can give you the utmost autonomy and support you wholeheartedly, but don’t let any improper thoughts cross your mind. Understand this, I’m neither a banker nor a businessman. If I find out you’re up to something, I won’t warn you, investigate you, or use the law against you—I’ll just take you out directly."

Boer sighed lightly and said, "Do you think I don’t understand that? I’ve positioned myself correctly; I won’t do anything I shouldn’t. I’ll take what I should; not a penny more, because I know you don’t have to discover what I did before deciding to kill me. If you even begin to suspect me, you’ll do it. This world, heh, is just that realistic, that violent."

Yang Yi smiled and said, "So, do you need me to do anything?"

Boer waved his hand and said, "Money—I need a bit more money for startup capital, and then I need to find shareholders with a clean identity. You can arrange whoever you want, and, I plan to set up the company in the United States, as I’m more familiar with Wall Street."

Yang Yi gestured dismissively and said, "I’ve said you’re free to make your own decisions. I can give you more money, but no more than twenty million. If that’s not enough, I can help you find some money, because I know who has it and is looking for investment opportunities."

Boer softly replied, "Then let’s agree on that."

"Yes, let’s agree on that."
