Chapter 347: 341: Here Comes the Madman – Part 2

Moreover, many others made the same decision. Unfortunately … the market obviously would not shift according to someone’s wishes unless you could also throw a lot of money into the market. But how many people around the world could throw a trillion Federal coins like that? Even if you included countries, there probably wouldn’t be many.

Oil futures did not rise rapidly like gold as soon as Finn Lewis’s capital was withdrawn. Instead, there was a bit of a bounce, but then prices ultimately collapsed, falling below 90 Federal coins per barrel. This plunge in prices led to SG fund losing everything they had invested.

Anyway, Finn Lewis was now well-known in this top financial circle. Even though this reputation … is not very good, he has at least become famous. However, it’s inevitable that many people would grit their teeth when they mention Finn Lewis. My god, isn’t this guy just crazy?

He purchased a game company and as a result made a lot of people suffer. Consequently, these people grew to hate MIH Investment Group, its parent company, and even Damian Bryan along with it. God damn it, it’s just a game company, why did he value it so highly? Selling it wouldn’t have been the end of the world. Was it necessary to act like someone was trying to steal his wife, refusing to sell no matter what? Now look, not only is he suffering, but he’s dragging other people down with him.

Although it might seem like a loss, Mr. M hastened to choose the 5% stock of

Finn Lewis’s Virtual World Investment Group. However, Finn Lewis didn’t force Mr. M to give up all of his shares in the T company, and gave Mr. M an additional 2% of T Company’s shares as a token of gratitude for his help.

Originally, Mr. M was going to decline, but Finn Lewis was very insistent, leaving Mr. M at a loss about what to do. If others found out about this, he would probably be labeled as prodigal all over again.

Finn Lewis had carefully decided to leave 2% of the T Company’s shares to Mr.

M, because T company definitely needed Mr. M to hold down the fort. Finn

Lewis didn’t have the time to manage it, although he had absolute control now. However, owning 2% of the shares would allow Mr. M to enter the T company’s board of directors, and he could still be the chairman of T company, managing the entire T company.

Once they had negotiated the deal, Finn Lewis directly called Kodiak Kennedy. When he answered, Kodiak Kennedy already knew what had happened. To be honest, Kodiak was speechless. Even though he was considered wealthy, he couldn’t enter the top circle of the North Federation’s wealthiest people.

However, since he was older than most in this circle, he naturally knew some people and was aware of the things Finn Lewis had done to buy Activision Blizzard. Truth be told, he was caught off guard. Even Kodiak himself felt that a mere Activision Blizzard was too trivial of a reason for all of this.

“Mr. Kodiak Kennedy, I now have 33% of Activision Blizzard’s shares in my hand. I believe our agreement can now be activated.” Finn Lewis said with a smile.

“Of course.” Kodiak agreed quite decisively. To be honest, he was scared. God damn it, he didn’t want any accidents to occur, If he had to sell, then so be it. With someone as crazy and extravagant as Finn, Kodiak knew he couldn’t keep up. Didn’t he see that even old financial groups like Red Flower Bank and Rhine Kingdom Bank didn’t dare to cause trouble on the capital market? Who was he to intervene?

“Then I will take a special flight to the North Federation tomorrow.” Finn Lewis chuckled.

Once Finn Lewis got hold of the shares from Kodiak, the rest of the task would be much more straightforward. As for Artis Electronics, he would let them be. Finn Lewis was full of drive as he took a private jet straight to California once again. He had no doubt about the safety of the jet.

By the time he arrived in California, it was just morning, and Kodiak came to pick up Finn Lewis again. Straight after Finn Lewis’s departure, Kodiak handed him a document. It was a share transfer agreement signed by Kodiak himself. All Finn Lewis needed to do was sign it to make it valid.

Finn Lewis was a bit surprised by Kodiak’s decisiveness. He remembered Kodiak was adamant about waiting until Finn Lewis had 30% of the shares before selling it to him. But now, Finn Lewis hadn’t even paid him yet, and his name was already written on the agreement.

Of course, Finn Lewis wouldn’t take advantage of Kodiak’s money. He immediately signed his own name on the document, and the 56% stake in Activision Blizzard formally became one of the controlling subsidiaries of Virtual World.

“Let’s hold a press conference. Also, I want to hold a board meeting tomorrow.

Additionally, Mr. Kodiak Kennedy, if you don’t have any other work, I think Activision Blizzard still needs you to oversee the operations,” Finn Lewis said with a smile.

“Of course, I don’t think I have the mood to send out any more job applications,” Kodiak said, trying to lighten the mood.

“Then, could I trouble you, Mr. Kodiak Kennedy, to convene the board meeting tomorrow?” Finn Lewis said with a smile.

When he arrived at the Activision Blizzard office in the afternoon, Kodiak immediately notified many media outlets in the North Federation, saying that Activision Blizzard was going to hold a press conference.

Although these reporters did not know what had happened on the international futures market and related financial markets, they did know that the T Company held shares in Activision Blizzard. So any movement of the T Company had always been under media scrutiny and they naturally knew about the drastic drop in T Company’s share price. They also knew that MIH had sold all of its shares in the T Company. With the correlation of these events, the news agencies were immediately excited. Was this not big news? Was Activision Blizzard about to change ownership?!

At the time the press conference was held, not too many journalists came, but there were still quite a few, about forty or so media outlets. Basically, the influential media in the North Federation were all present, including many specialized gaming media, websites, and magazines.

When Finn Lewis appeared at the press conference, a stir went through the audience even before he spoke. If Finn Lewis was appearing here, then the rumors that had been circulating probably turned out to be true.

So, when Kodiak stood at the podium to outline the situation, then let Finn Lewis come out, all the reporters instantly went crazy. They pressed down on their camera shutters, creating an array of flashing lights that almost blinded Finn Lewis.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I do not think any of you would want to receive a court summons for intentional injury tomorrow, would you? If you keep this up, I might have to check into the hospital tonight due to eye injuries,” Finn Lewis said from the stage, cracking a North Federation-style joke. This immediately led to laughter and a lighter atmosphere among the journalists, and they also began to slow down the frequency of their flashing cameras.

Standing on the stage, Finn Lewis then began to speak with a smile. “First of all, welcome everyone to Activision Blizzard’s press conference. The main purpose of this conference is to introduce the future development direction for Activision Blizzard and some changes to the shareholding situation..”
