These seven major shareholders began to quietly trample on some rules left by Dooling. Their purpose is to complete the equity integration of the seven casinos without Dooling''s knowledge.
At the beginning, in order to resist the penetration of large consortia into Otis City, Doolin formulated the game system of the whole Otis city with the two rules of token and cross shareholding as the core. Among them, the core system of token is controlled by himself, which means that he pinched the neck of the seven casinos in Otis and left countermeasures.
Another cross shareholding rule is to break up the shares of the seven casinos completely and distribute them to individuals before cross shareholding again.
From the data alone, every casino has at least three shareholders for every 2.5% of its shares... This is a frightening figure, but it also effectively resists the capital invasion of Otis by the consortium forces. If they want to absorb the shares of any casino, it will involve dozens, hundreds or even more people. As long as one of them is not with them, the acquisition plan will be difficult to complete.
This is not a very clever trick, but it is very effective. Especially in the early stage of implementation, Turin is still in Otis, and these shareholders strictly implement Turin''s standards. Privately, those consortia and capital forces contacted them, but they gave up after learning about the cross shareholding system.
They can''t keep the casino shares in their hands without disturbing Turin and avoiding Turin''s reaction, because they can''t convince everyone to turn to them at all. Maybe two of the 2.5% shares are towards them, but if one person doesn''t do so, they must give up the 2.5% shares to find the next one. Maybe they can find shareholders who are willing to sell their shares, but it is likely that they can only get a part of the shares that are almost worthless.
These two systems ensure that Otis city will always implement Turin''s standards and will not run out of track. Therefore, some people say that Turin is the real ruler of Otis city and the "King" here.
In the post Turin era after Turin left, his influence on OTIS inevitably declined. How can these shareholders who pursue the maximization of interests sit still? The pressure of token companies on them restricts their profits. At the same time, the special tax set according to the upper limit takes away too much turnover from the casino, which makes them extremely dissatisfied.
You know, the casino tax is 90%, which is terrible!
One percent of the remaining profits will be stripped away by Du Lin, which is still net profit, because all kinds of operating costs and damage expenses will be removed from the remaining profits. Of course, enough net profits will be left for shareholders to control.
But that''s not enough!
They created gold mountains every month, and finally left them only a few gold bricks. They will not be satisfied. They also want to make more profits. After all, those taken away by imperial tax are the wealth they created. They originally belong to them and flow their blood.
Some unwilling shareholders intend to trample on the existing rules and change the game playing method of Otis, so the first thing they need to face is Turin''s two steel forks.
They chose a breakthrough direction - always destroy one first. They chose cross shareholding.
At this stage, the biggest problem they face is that there is no way to integrate the resources of the seven casinos and give full play to their real strength as shareholders, which is also the reason why Du Lin can leave at ease. As long as there are still people who choose to wait and see, they have no way to unify. The decentralized and cross held equity limits the power of all shareholders. The only way to change all this is to let a person or a company hold more than 53% of the equity, so as to tear open the barriers left by Du Lin with absolute control and advantage.
This involves more interest exchange. They have made a decision to own more than 53% of the seven major shares through a third-party holding company, and then use this company as an opportunity to talk with Otis city hall to change the current situation.
Good idea. If the accountants hadn''t jumped out of the building, they might have completed the integration of equity under their cover, but now, there is some trouble.
Because Dooling may have focused on this side.
Not to mention that these people began to wipe their ass for the damn and dead son of a bitch accountant. Three days later, MARGES suddenly gave a public speech.
He has been talking about the booming national strength since the Empire entered the new era. It is like a concluding speech on the 30 years of entering the new era. At the end of the speech, he suddenly talked about the tax problem.
"Five years ago, the fiscal revenue of the Empire was less than one billion yuan, of which the tax revenue was less than a quarter. In some special years, our empire''s tax revenue was less than 100 million yuan! I''m not sure what happened, and why the total tax revenue of some cities in the Empire was less than 100000 yuan a year."
Facing the silent audience, Maggs smiled, just like the demeanor he had always maintained. His smile was very relaxed, simple and not so complicated, "The Empire has entered a period of rapid development. Our infrastructure and economic construction are running on a surprising Road, but our fiscal revenue is limiting the development speed of the whole empire. I have a table here, a table for the ten-year period of imperial fiscal revenue and federal fiscal revenue, which can be clearly calculated without much complexity See, we are far behind the federal revenue. "
"What restricts the growth of our fiscal revenue? Even today, the federal government, which has experienced the financial tsunami and the defeat of the war and entered the great depression, is only a little behind us in fiscal revenue." he put his hands on both sides of the podium, and his tall and straight posture made this old man emerge with a magical force and temperament, "it''s tax!"
In the face of the uproar of the audience, margus remained unmoved. "From the first day, I have adhered to a belief that we should make the Empire the greatest country in the world, and let all citizens feel the pride and honor of being a member of the world''s strongest country."
"We have changed the corrupt and backward political system in the past. We have reformed the system of military blocs. We have made great changes in the economic model of the whole society and activated the driving force of the free market. We have made many changes to make this country move forward towards the goal we all want."
As soon as he raised his voice, "However, the reform is still not over, and there are still many things that need to be changed. In the new era, too many decadent things can not keep up with the pace of the times. We have never imagined that one day the whole world will be so closely connected. We have never imagined that we can communicate with people thousands of miles away with only one line. System, military, science and technology Culture includes many aspects of reform, so that we have achieved today''s harvest. The fruitful results also mean that our initial assumption is correct! "
"Our steps on the road to victory have never stopped. Nothing can stop us from grasping victory, including taxes!"
A speech, shake the whole empire!
