Chapter 814: Chapter 819: Ambition Skyrocketing

The meeting was a work session, and the main agenda item was to let Boer, the professional’s professional, provide some useful advice.

Boer had become formidable; he was no longer the hapless, down-and-out loser who had once been pursued to a dead-end, his family wealth lost. Although he didn’t dare show his face much, he was now a man with work to do and money to earn.

The demeanor of someone who had once been a billionaire was unmistakable. In front of Boer, Norbert, also an elite in the industry, had to stand respectfully silent, not even daring to breathe too loudly.

Boer casually took a seat on the sofa, while Norbert stood next to him holding a folder, standing upright and proper.

After a slight delay in the agenda by Brian and Annastasia, Yang Yi was finally able to get to the main topic. He looked at Boer and said in a deep voice, "You know what we’re going to do, so give us your opinion. Is this plan likely to succeed, and if we were to go through with it, how should we do it?"

Boer casually waved his hand, Norbert opened the folder, and then spoke with a serious face, "Egertoni Company, according to public information, has a complex shareholder structure, with three shareholders in total. The largest shareholder owns forty-three percent, while the remaining two each hold around thirty percent of the shares."

Upon hearing this, Yang Yi frowned. He had wanted to monopolize Egertoni Company, but with such dispersed ownership, there was nothing left for him to monopolize.

"Why would Deyo, who uses this company for money laundering, divide the shares into three parts? Couldn’t Deyo control this company?"

Norbert said seriously, "Given Deyo’s status, his name could not possibly appear on the board of directors, let alone as the chairman. He must find white gloves to control such a large fortune on his behalf while ensuring safety. So it’s actually standard practice to disperse the shares."

Yang Yi spread his hands and said, "Put it in simpler terms."

Norbert’s face showed helplessness, "This is already the simplest explanation, without any jargon. It cannot be simplified further."

Yang Yi cleared his throat twice and said, "Alright, I have a question. Deyo invested money to establish this investment company, and for safety, he spread the shares among many people. So, if he died, wouldn’t his money just disappear?"

Norbert spoke gravely, "Among the three shareholders, two are investment funds, and only one set of shares is owned by an individual. According to public information, this shareholder doesn’t have any issues, but undoubtedly that person is Deyo’s white glove."

Yang Yi, somewhat puzzled, said, "I’m asking, what happens to the company if Deyo dies? Does Deyo really have no way to ensure the safety of his funds except to let others manage them?"

Norbert was about to speak, but Boer said lightly, "I’ll answer that question for you. Think about what happened to me, don’t you understand how to treat a white glove?"

Yang Yi was startled at first but then came to a realization.

Boer continued indifferently, "Illegal is illegal. Deyo has a huge fortune, but since his money cannot be exposed, he has to bear some costs. If Deyo died and he had heirs, his wealth would not end up in the hands of the white gloves because Deyo would certainly have ways to restrict and control the white gloves. But Deyo’s son is already dead, and if Deyo were to die too, then, from a legal standpoint, that vast fortune would belong to the white glove."

Yang Yi spoke decisively, "I see."

Boer said calmly, "You mentioned someone named Steve managing Deyo’s money, so this Steve should have means to reclaim the shares. It’s not that complicated, actually; this is the underworld, with its own set of rules, even in the financial industry."

Yang Yi shook his head, "I don’t quite understand, just tell us directly what we should do."

Boer spoke gravely, "Concentrating Egertoni Company’s shares in one person’s hands carries too much risk. We still need to use legal and public identities to take over the shares, so first, we should establish two foundations. Having individuals hold shares is too risky, and such large-scale share transfers will draw a lot of attention. So my advice is, unless there is a suitable candidate, it’s best to accept the shares through foundations holding the control."

Yang Yi took a breath. He knew Boer was trying to explain things in the simplest way possible, but he really had no prior knowledge of finance.

Yang Yi pondered for a moment and then said to Boer, "Do as you say, and I also want to learn some basic finance; recommend some textbooks to me. And also, I want to know what we should do now!"

Boer shrugged, "It’s already in progress. We have established one investment fund, and another is in the process of being set up. We expect to have the license in two weeks. If you can convince Egertoni Company’s shareholders to give up their shares, then we can take over anytime without any risk."

Yang Yi waved his hand, "Good, then proceed with your plan."

Boer smiled, and then he said to Norbert, "Talk about our achievements over this period."

Norbert flipped through the folder, then spoke gravely, "Since our investment fund was established, up to today, we have made a total profit of 132,140,322 Euros, with an expected profit of 200 million Euros this quarter."

Yang Yi almost bit his tongue and then, looking at Boer with a trembling voice, said, "Did you guys rob someone?"

Boer spoke indifferently, "Finance is much faster than robbing money, but you’re not wrong, this money can indeed be considered robbed, except it’s legally robbed."

Yang Yi felt a little disheartened; what they had earned through life-and-death struggles wasn’t even a fraction of what Boer had made.

But then he remembered that most of that money was his, and Yang Yi immediately cheered up, quite significantly.

"Well done, really well done!"

Yang Yi offered Boer a sincere compliment, but Boer’s face turned stern as he said, "Don’t be so optimistic; the financial market is very volatile. We might make money this quarter but could lose it all the next. Moreover, my capital is still too small to leverage more funds, but if you can get your hands on Egertoni Company..."

Boer’s eyes suddenly blazed with fervor, and he stared at Yang Yi, saying ferociously, "Give me Egertoni Company, and I’ll show you what real robbery is! It would be a failure to make a few hundred million US Dollars in a year; I will make you billions!"

Yang Yi swallowed hard and said, "Isn’t that a bit exaggerated?"

Boer said fiercely, "Exaggerated? Don’t forget my identity. As long as I can bring down my former company, you will be able to swallow an unimaginable fortune. And as long as I live, I will make it happen!"
