Chapter 896: Chapter 901: Let’s Split Like This

"Shareholding system?"

"Yes, shareholding system. We register a company, and you hold a certain percentage of shares under one identity, each of us holding a certain percentage. Then we use this company to acquire the Egertoni Company. You don’t directly hold Egertoni Company, but you absolutely control it. The other companies are handled the same way. Simply put, that’s it."

"Register a company to control another company?"

"Not just one, many. We need to register at least more than ten companies."

Yang Yi looked at Boer for a moment before speaking with a troubled expression, "Wouldn’t it be very troublesome?"

"Not at all, at least much better than taking over those companies in an individual’s name. We must take over many companies in the shortest time, and these matters require permissions and a bunch of procedures. Can you show up in person? No, you can’t. So we can only operate from behind the scenes, concealing ourselves through many layers of camouflage to possibly swallow this big piece of cake."

Annastasia nodded, "That’s right, it’s the only choice."

After thinking it over, Yang Yi said, "Shareholding system, in the form of a company, allowing everyone to hold a certain percentage of shares, not giving out money but distributing dividends annually. This way we can consume this wealth without disbanding because everyone got a huge sum of money, is that right?"

Boer shrugged, "I think that as long as you understand, that’s enough. As for the benefits, well, it doesn’t really matter if I say it or not, they’ll understand."

Yang Yi took a breath, "I always feel this isn’t quite right..."

Annastasia spoke firmly, "Alright, there’s nothing inappropriate. I think it’s very good. Now let’s discuss how much each person will get."

Yang Yi was conflicted again. At that moment, Boer said sternly, "I have a suggestion. Boss takes fifty-one percent, the rest is equally divided among the rest at forty-nine percent. However, everyone will only have the right to dividends and won’t be allowed to sell their shares. We don’t have any sort of board, nor can we vote to remove you as chairman. If anyone attempts that, well, it means they’re asking for death."

Yang Yi frowned, "Isn’t my share a bit too much?"

"Too much? Please, what identity do we hold? If you can’t resolve issues through voting, then don’t give others the right to vote."

"What do you mean?"

"It means, to make everyone happy you’re already taking only half, which is quite generous."

After saying that, Boer asked very seriously, "What do you think?"

Boer was asking Annastasia, who shrugged, "There’s a lot of money, but it has greater impact when used concentratedly. Once the money is divided, the Organization of Water would be finished. Since that’s the case, there’s nothing more to say. This division is already quite good. People like Sergei and Vitali are normally cannon fodder. Now Yang Yi is generously offering them shares, which is quite lavish. And there’s another issue. People like Woody, Norbert, and Professor Gweil, will they also hold the same shares as others?"

Boer smiled, "That would be far too lavish. The shares need to be distributed, but certainly not equally to everyone. However, that’s something we need to sit down and talk about slowly. What’s important for now is to get the money and transfer the companies into our names, then we will discuss the specific division. That’s what I think. Every person in the Organization of Water is important, but after all, they play roles of varying significance. If we let Norbert take as much as Anton, well, the Organization of Water would probably fall apart faster."

Annastasia said, "Since you understand this, I have no more questions. Let’s finalize this plan."

Yang Yi whispered, "Really no need to discuss it further?"

Anna smiled, "There’s nothing to discuss. Who could oppose you having a majority of the shares? Since no one can oppose, why waste the time?"

Yang Yi thought it over. Regardless of whether they were satisfied with the distribution ratio, who could voice their opposition?

So, there’s no need for unnecessary talk then. But there was still something Yang Yi hadn’t considered.

"There’s one more issue. We need more manpower. Now that we have money, we’ll definitely recruit a lot of new people. If we distribute all the shares now, we will only be able to offer salaries to the new recruits in the future, instead of shares, right?"

Boer smiled, "Of course. Who are we? We are the co-founders, holding the original shares. Of course, we will only pay salaries to the new recruits rather than give them shares. If we need to use shares to attract someone exceptionally important, then we’ll just dilute the original ones. This is too easy to resolve."

Annastasia spoke solemnly, "Brian will certainly have no objections to this distribution plan. The others... We can’t let them think Yang Yi is greedy, Boer."

Boer shrugged, "I of course know how to handle this. This is just a discussion amongst the three of us. When it comes to the actual distribution, I will propose this plan, then let everyone vote. If there’s no opposition, we’ll finalize it, but if there are objections..."

Annastasia smiled, "No one will object, unless they’re really stupid, and I believe the Organization of Water doesn’t harbor fools."

Yang Yi silently sighed. Indeed, who would dare to object?

If someone did object, they probably wouldn’t survive much longer. Yang Yi wasn’t one to crave power or wealth, but as a spy organization in the underworld, the Organization of Water only allowed one voice to be heard. Anyone opposing this distribution model was challenging Yang Yi’s authority as the boss, and even if Yang Yi didn’t care, those intent on maintaining Yang Yi’s status would have to eliminate them.

That’s the harsh reality. After all, the Organization of Water was not a national intelligence agency.

In less than ten minutes, the three of them had reached an agreement, and when they came out, everyone was intently watching Steve, who was operating a computer.

Boer walked over with a gentle face, "How’s it going?"

Norbert stood up and stutteringly said to Boer, "Every time Zola transfers a sum of money, I check it once. There are already 3.6 billion US dollars in our four accounts."

Money had arrived, although not completely yet, it proved that Steve wasn’t boasting or lying. He said there was over 5.6 billion US dollars that could be transferred immediately, which means it could be done.

Steve spoke in a deep voice, "There are two accounts left, also the biggest ones, with one billion US dollars in each. After dealing with these, we will proceed to handle the companies. Have you decided what to do?"

Boer smiled, "Yes, we’ve decided how to proceed. Let’s start with the Egertoni Company right after you finish the transfers."

After speaking, Boer paused for a moment, then he sighed and said, "I must express my feelings. I want to say... the arms business really does make a killing!"
