Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 465: Lin Yuan is the Kun who lays the golden egg that is being snatched away ( words long chapter)
Beverly Hills, 11 PM.

After finishing the MV shooting today, Lin Yuan and Taylor Swift returned to their home in Beverly Hills.

Lin Yuan and Taylor Swift, dressed in Hanfu, got out of the car and walked into the villa.

"Go to your room," Taylor said.

"A little anxious?" Lin Yuan replied with a smile.

"Aren't you anxious?" Taylor Swift's eyes were sharp.

This question is not easy to answer, and you may fail miserably if you are not careful.

If she answered no, Taylor Swift would immediately explode: "Are you questioning my charm? Am I the only one anxious for something to happen? If not, forget it!"

If I answer that I'm anxious, Taylor Swift will tease me: "Then why did you just say I was anxious? Aren't you a little hypocritical?"
But such a problem obviously cannot stump Lin Yuan today.

He smiled and said, "I hope your first night will be a wonderful memory. Come, follow me."

"You prepared a surprise for me? When did you prepare it?" Taylor Swift's expression was full of surprise.

"Just now when we were shooting the MV on the mountain." Lin Yuan replied.

Taylor Swift recalled how Lin Yuan had just made a phone call in the mountains without telling her. It seemed like he had really put a lot of thought into this night.

"What have you prepared?" Taylor Swift asked in surprise.

Which woman can resist the romantic surprise a man creates for her?

Her best hope for tonight was that they could finally be together.

But unexpectedly, Lin Yuan prepared a surprise for her that exceeded her expectations.

Lin Yuan didn't answer, but just pulled Taylor all the way to the top floor.

When he pushed open the roof of the top floor, he found that the originally exquisite open-air garden on the top floor was transformed into a warm candlelight dinner venue.

"Oh! Oh my God!" Taylor Swift covered her mouth in surprise.

There is no need to say much about the romance of candlelight dinner, which is a favorite way for couples.

But what’s special about tonight’s candlelight dinner is that it’s a Chinese candlelight dinner.

In the center of the venue, there are no Western-style candlesticks, but red Chinese lanterns, which are arranged in an orderly manner on a whole wall of lamp stands, as if traveling back to the Tang Dynasty.

The wind chimes on the lamp stand make a tinkling sound in the night breeze, giving people a sense of tranquility and romance.

The bright red Chinese-style gold-embroidered tablecloth and placemats give the table a new look and make this candlelight dinner look more simple and elegant.

On the dining table, there were flowers, a light music box, and scented candles.

All of this made Taylor Swift feel Lin Yuan's care and love.

Obviously, such a scene could not be created by Lin Yuan with just a sudden phone call.

It only means that he had prepared for it a long time ago.

"Have you been preparing this surprise for me for a long time?" Taylor Swift asked.

"Well, it was prepared when you asked me for Hanfu. Don't you think our outfits tonight match the Chinese candlelight dinner very well?" Lin Yuan asked with a smile.

Lin Yuan, wearing a flying fish suit, and Taylor Swift, wearing a double-breasted stand-up collar shirt with falling catkins and a gold-thread horse-face skirt, looked particularly harmonious standing in the candlelight at night.

"I love what you prepared. I can't wait to start dinner." Taylor Swift trotted to the dining table, pulled out a chair and sat down.

Lin Yuan and the housekeeper beside him signaled that the dishes could be served.

Such a romantic dinner must start with a glass of wine.

Wine is a sexual medium...

To put it another way, wine is an atmosphere catalyst.

Have a glass of wine first, and you will feel the romance more when you are slightly tipsy.

But since it is a Chinese candlelight dinner, the wine served will definitely not be Western red wine.

Under Taylor Swift's expectant gaze, a Chinese wine pot and two blue and white porcelain wine glasses were brought to the table.

"Let's drink daughter's red wine tonight." Lin Yuan said.

"Daughter's Red? What kind of wine is this and why is it called Daughter's Red?" Taylor Swift asked.

"Let me tell you a story." Lin Yuan said.

"Is it related to this wine?" Taylor Swift replied.

Lin Yuan nodded and said:

In China's Jiangnan region, there was a man who was very lonely at night, so he went to a bar alone.

The bartender asked him what he would like to drink?
The man said, "I am very lonely now. Can you tell me a story about loneliness?"

The bartender smiled and said, "In our Jiangnan region, if a family has a daughter, they will seal up their fine wine and bury it under their own osmanthus tree. On the day of their daughter's wedding, they will dig the jar of wine out from under the osmanthus tree and use it to entertain the guests. This wine is called 'daughter's red wine'."

After that, the waiter poured a glass of wine and placed it in front of the man: "Try this glass of daughter's red wine."

The man was stunned for a moment: "Your story is very good, and the wine is good, but how is it lonely?"

The waiter sighed: "This glass of daughter's red wine is a century-old wine."

The story is over.

“Puchi~” Taylor Swift was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing when she figured it out.

"What a lonely story! A century-old wine." Taylor Swift said with a smile, "Then how many years is this bottle of wine we have tonight?"

"Nineteen years." Lin Yuan said.

After hearing this answer, Taylor Swift fell silent.

This is exactly her age, she is nineteen years old this year.

Lin Yuan's preparation of such a pot of girl's red wine was not a coincidence, but a deliberate arrangement.

Considering that "daughter's red wine" is the wine drunk at wedding, the meaning is obvious.

He really put his heart into it.

On a night like this, drinking a glass of 19-year-old girl’s red wine is absolutely perfect!

"Thank you, I'm very happy." Taylor Swift said with a smile, with tears in her eyes.

Lin Yuan reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Let's officially start serving the dishes now," said Lin Yuan.

Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Longjing Shrimp, Steamed Yellow Croaker, and Braised Pigeon, a total of four dishes.

It was already past 11 o'clock in the evening, and it would definitely not be appropriate to eat too much meat and fish, so just eat something "simple". The key lies in the atmosphere of the candlelight dinner.

As for the things, they are just embellishments, but these embellishments are so delicious.

These dishes were carefully prepared by the chef hired by Lin Yuan. They were naturally delicious and immediately conquered Taylor Swift.

Both of them were very satisfied with the meal.

After dinner, Lin Yuan took Taylor Swift’s hand and went to the bedroom on the second floor.

When I opened the door, I saw that there was no light in the room, but the scented candles hanging on the wall and the swaying candlelight continued to create the atmosphere just now.

The big bed is covered with red rose petals, which is the most beautiful fantasy of thousands of girls.

Taylor Swift put her arms around Lin Yuan's neck and said, "I'm so satisfied tonight."

"You'll be more satisfied in a moment."

"I like confident men. Why are you so confident?" Taylor's eyes were drawn.

Faced with this question, no matter how naive a man is, he would not answer: "Because they all say I'm great."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Because we love each other, how could we not feel good?"

"Then prove it to me."

"my pleasure."

Amid Taylor Swift's screams, Lin Yuan picked her up horizontally and rushed to the bed.

Taylor Swift, who is as passionate and unrestrained as a rose, showed her hottest side in the sea of ​​roses.

There is no need to say more about what happened next.

……

……

When everything was over, Taylor Swift fell into a deep sleep.

Lin Yuan carefully covered her with the quilt, then gently got up from the bed.

At this moment, a line of golden system text appeared before his eyes:
[The host successfully establishes an intimate relationship with the girl, forming a closer connection, and receives a reward: Youth Potion (for personal use)!]

[Because the host's connection is with Type O, additional reward: Youth Potion (Type AB)!]

The fourth dose of the magic medicine appeared in Lin Yuan's hands, and this might be the last one.

Lin Yuan looked at the youth potion in his hand. So far, the four women who had intimate relationships with him had all achieved comprehensive breakthroughs.

He also didn't know whether he would be able to continue to obtain the youth potion in the future.

But no matter what, he was already very satisfied to get four youth potions.

[Youth Potion (for personal use): Please swallow in one gulp. This increases the host's lifespan by 5 years and slows aging by 2 years. This potion is only effective for the host.]

Lin Yuan opened the bottle cap and drank the potion without hesitation.

It still had the faint sweetness of glucose water, but the cool feeling that swept through his body again told him that this was not an ordinary potion, but a priceless miracle drug.

After taking four doses of youth potion, Lin Yuan's life span increased by a total of 20 years and his aging was delayed by 8 years.

He is only 22 years old this year, which means that before he is 26, his physical fitness can be maintained at the peak level of 18 years old.

Even as he grows older, he can still maintain a level of energy far beyond his peers, or even younger generations.

After all, at this time, his physical fitness has reached 24 points, which is far beyond the level of normal people and has exceeded the limit of human beings.

Therefore, even if Lin Yuan is 50 years old, his physical fitness can definitely beat that of a 20-year-old young man.

He is confident that he can live to 120 years old, which is almost the limit of human lifespan.

Moreover, if he lives to be a hundred years old, he will not be like those old people who are like a candle in the wind and have to rely entirely on the care of caregivers.

Lin Yuan believes that even when he is old, he can still maintain considerable physical functions until the last moment of his life.

At this moment, Lin Yuan once again lamented the improvement of his physical fitness brought by the system and the value of the youth potion.

Most young people have never aged, and they cannot imagine what it will feel like to grow old.

It was a strong feeling of deprivation.

When you were young, you broke your leg and lay in bed recovering.

Although my body is in pain, my heart is full of hope.

You know that as long as you recuperate for a few months, you will be able to stand up again, and after a while, you will be back to normal, just like before you broke your leg, and your body functions will not be affected at all.

But this is not the case for the elderly.

When you are old, breaking your leg may mean that you will never be able to stand up again, and you will have to sit in a wheelchair for the rest of your life.

Even if you are lucky enough to stand up again, your mobility will definitely decline, and you can only move slowly step by step with the help of crutches.

Your ability to move is forever taken away.

This is the constant struggle of older people: losing things they took for granted in their youth, from parents to friends, from the ability to digest delicious food to the ability to exercise.

These things that bring beauty to life are being lost one by one forever and will never come back.

The later years of an old person are not as wonderful as when he was young.

Suppose you have 80 years to live and you are 40 years old now, it does not mean that you still have 50% of your wonderful life.

Maybe you only have 20% of your wonderful life left.

Because old age is definitely not as exciting as youth.

For Lin Yuan, his biggest gain is that his youth and middle-aged period has been greatly extended.

If he lives to be 120 years old, then at least before he is 80 years old, he can enjoy life to the fullest like a young and middle-aged man.

Even if he is 80 years old, as long as he is still interested, it is not a bad idea to have fun every night.

In the remaining 40 years of his life, he will not become like an old man, lose the ability to take care of himself, and become a weak person who needs to rely on others.

Such 120 years of life is a life with sufficient quality of life, it is enough!
Even if he can no longer obtain any magical medicine to increase his lifespan in the future, Lin Yuan will still be grateful that he has already obtained so much.

After drinking the youth potion for personal use, Lin Yuan threw the empty bottle into the trash can in the room.

He raised his hand and looked at the other bottle:
[Youth Potion (AB Type): Please swallow all at once. This potion increases lifespan by 15 years and slows aging by 8 years. This potion is only effective for AB Type females who are in a close relationship with the host.]

This is Betty's potion, finally got it.

Betty is the oldest of all Lin Yuan's women.

This may make her sound old, but in fact, Betty is only 25 years old, just three years older than Lin Yuan, a standard age difference.

25 is the most beautiful age for a woman.

She has lost the immaturity of a girl and has the charm of a mature woman.

But who doesn’t want to freeze this most beautiful time as long as possible and keep it longer?

Lin Yuan could already imagine how happy Betty would be when she drank the potion.

It must be far superior to Liu Yufei, Taylor Swift and GAKKI.

Because the three of them are younger, especially Taylor Swift and GAKKI, who have just turned 18.

Even if you take a youth potion, you won't have any particularly obvious feelings. Instead, as time goes by and you find that you are much younger than your peers, you will realize this magical effect.

But Betty is different. If she drinks the potion, she will immediately feel the obvious changes.

Lin Yuan carefully put away the potion in his hand, then climbed back onto the big bed, lifted the quilt and got in.

He hugged Taylor Swift's soft body and fell into a deep sleep.

Have a good night's sleep.

For the next seven days, Lin Yuan and Taylor Swift were busy filming MVs during the day.

In the evening, they returned to their home in Beverly Hills and enjoyed lovemaking to their heart's content.

It is not tiring for men and women to work together, and with the combination of work and rest, the MV shooting work progressed extremely smoothly.

The two first completed the remaining filming of "Enchanted".

Next is the music video for the title song "Mine", which was filmed in the woods and by the stream.

What made Lin Yuan feel relieved was that the filming location of this MV was in Los Angeles.

Otherwise, considering the lyrics, if the filming was in New York, Taylor would definitely go to the valley in Big Bear Mountain Park to shoot.

If Liu Yufei saw this...

Although Lin Yuan believed that Tianxian was very generous, he himself also felt very embarrassed.

After filming the two MVs, Lin Yuan continued to shoot the MV for "Back To December" by making snow indoors.

and the fireworks-filled "Sparks Fly."

In Taylor Swift's third album "Speak Now", Lin Yuan participated in the filming of the MVs of 4 songs.

It can be said that the number is quite sufficient. These four songs are the ace songs of this album, shouldering the heavy burden of becoming the champion singles and boosting the sales of the entire album.

Lin Yuan believes that his popularity can help Taylor Swift's album achieve greater success.

After the four MVs are finished, Taylor will continue to shoot MVs for the remaining 10 songs.

It can be said to be a very luxurious production, with 14 songs in one album and MVs shot for each song.

Such a tycoon's behavior will surely make fans ecstatic and competitors despair.

Therefore, Taylor Swift is unable to get out of the MV shooting pit for the time being and will have to continue to be busy for a long time.

Lin Yuan bought a ticket to New York and rushed to his next destination alone.

……

……

New York, Wall Street, Morgan Stanley headquarters building, vice president's office.

"The listing work is going very smoothly. I am confident...ah...where are you touching your hand?" Betty sat on Lin Yuan and opened his hand unhappily.

Today, Betty has her long golden hair combed back into a simple ponytail. The hairstyle without bangs, revealing her forehead, makes her look heroic and charming.

She was wearing a gray business suit, a white shirt and a small suit on the upper body, a gray hip-hugging business skirt on the lower body, flesh-colored stockings and black high heels.

This is simply the most coveted outfit in the hearts of countless men, and it is one of the two best uniforms along with the stewardess uniform.

How could Lin Yuan bear this?
So his hand slipped under the skirt again.

"I'm talking to you about serious business!" Betty said with a helpless smile.

For a woman, when her lover is obsessed with her body, she will definitely feel a little happy in her heart.

"How is this not a serious matter?"

"But the glass is so clear that you can see outside." "Everyone knows that the glass in your CEO's office is one-way glass. It's more exciting to watch them and the people coming and going outside."

"You've really learned bad things...oh..."

Everyone knows what happened next.

When it was over, Betty smoothed the wrinkles on her uniform with her hands, walked to the window and pushed open the glass.

Opening the windows for ventilation afterwards is a necessary finishing touch.

"I have to say, the feeling in the office is different. Especially in the office of the vice president of Morgan Stanley, the embodiment of capital." Lin Yuan said with a smile.

"So you like this? Next time we'll go to the president's office," Betty replied.

"The president's office? Isn't that inappropriate?" Lin Yuan asked.

"If there's anything inappropriate, it's my office too," Betty said.

"Are you going to be promoted to president?" Lin Yuan asked in surprise.

"After I finish your IPO case, I will be promoted to president," Betty replied.

Betty is only 25 years old this year, and she is about to become the president of Morgan Stanley?
But considering her family background and her outstanding performance over the years, it doesn't seem so incomprehensible.

"Can we get down to business now?" Betty asked.

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "How come what happened just now wasn't business? It's all business."

Betty rolled her eyes and said, "Let's talk about the company's IPO."

"Didn't you say everything went smoothly? Is there anything else you want to talk about?" Lin Yuan asked curiously.

"Take a look at this." Betty handed over a document.

Lin Yuan took over: "The First Private Placement Plan".

This is?

Lin Yuan opened the plan, flipped through a few pages and was stunned, then continued flipping through the pages and read the entire plan.

"As soon as it goes public, it will immediately issue a private placement? The scale is 200 billion US dollars, and the price is 40 times the PE?" Lin Yuan was a little bit unbelieving.

Although he is not professional in capital operation, he still understands the basic concepts and common sense.

A targeted share issuance refers to the act of a listed company issuing shares privately to a small number of qualified specific investors.

To put it more bluntly, it is a way for a company to obtain funds by issuing additional shares and selling them to a specific minority of investors.

This is one of the main ways for a listed company to obtain funds after listing.

But generally speaking, listed companies cannot issue targeted additional shares at will.

Because the act of issuing additional shares will dilute the equity ratio of old shareholders, although the listed company also gains a large amount of funds, it is also helpful to the company's development.

But in most cases, old shareholders have a more negative attitude towards targeted share issuance.

Therefore, Lin Yuan expressed doubts about Betty's plan for a private placement. The main questions are:

First, the major shareholders who are cornerstone investors have just participated in the IPO and acquired 20% of the company's equity.

They were the first to show their optimism about Lin Yuan and to vote their support with real money.

Wouldn’t an immediate private placement dilute their equity gains?

Isn't it bad to hurt early cornerstone investors like this?
Secondly, is the 200 billion yuan private placement too large? What's the point of locking in a price of 40 times the PE ratio?
Third, even if the above two issues are not a problem, does the company lack funds now? Is it necessary to conduct a private placement immediately?

The essence of financing is to take money and share profits at the same time.

Lin Yuan’s film company is a goose that lays golden eggs. This cash cow has strong profitability and does not need to rely on the capital market to obtain a large amount of funds, because this requires distributing a lot of profits.

If you cannot use so much money efficiently, it is equivalent to giving the profits to others for nothing. If you hold so much money in your hands and cannot spend it, it is also a waste of resources.

Only junk companies will try every possible means to continuously carry out financing activities such as targeted share issuance.

Good companies are generally more cautious about private placements. Even if they are short of money, they are more likely to raise funds by issuing corporate bonds.

When Lin Yuan told Betty these three concerns.

Betty smiled and said, "I definitely won't harm you. The reason I'm bringing this plan to you is because I've carefully considered it and think it's the best opportunity for you. I suggest you seize it. Even if one day I really want to harm you, I can't hide it from your 'mind-reading' abilities."

Lin Yuan shook his head: "How could I possibly doubt you? I just don't understand your considerations, so I'm asking for your advice."

Betty replied, "The first two questions you asked are actually the same question."

"Do you know what the biggest challenge I encountered when working on the IPO project of Linyuan Film Company was?" Betty asked.

"I can't guess. It can't be that it sells very well, right?" Lin Yuan said.

How could this be possible?
The biggest difficulty of an IPO is that it is very difficult to sell the shares of the proposed listed company at a high price.

Those cornerstone investors are more sophisticated than each other.

They often communicate with each other privately to exchange information. If one person thinks the stock is too expensive and refuses to buy, the other investors will follow suit.

"Congratulations, you've eliminated the correct answer right away." Betty said with a smile.

"What? It's really selling so well?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Yes, you have no idea how easy it is to sell. There are not enough shares worth 140 billion US dollars. I just leaked the information. Before I took the initiative to talk to those cornerstone investors, the shares were snatched up by those who rushed to my door." Betty replied.

"You are more popular than you think, even beyond my expectations. The five major cornerstone investors have already snapped up all the subscription shares, and the dozen or so investors that came later directly blocked my door, making it impossible for me to get out," said Betty.

"How is that possible? This is 30 times PE, not just a carrot price. And the total amount raised is as high as 140 billion US dollars." Lin Yuan asked in confusion.

"Do you know what is most important in the capital market?" Betty asked.

"Confidence?" This sentence is so familiar that Lin Yuan certainly knows it.

"Yes! Confidence." Betty continued, "While I was working on your film company's IPO project, it happened to coincide with the holding of the second-largest Kendo Tournament in the world, which directly triggered this IPO."

"Is there any connection between the Kendo tournament and the film company's IPO?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Of course! Although from a business perspective, these two sectors are completely unrelated, and no matter how successful the Kendo Tournament is, the profits will not belong to the film company. But in the eyes of the capital market, you have once again achieved great success and consolidated your undefeated record." Betty said.

"Since your debut, every project you've handled has been a success without exception, and they've all been incredibly profitable. In the eyes of the capital market, this is nothing short of a miracle!
A large number of investors firmly believe that as long as they follow you, they will make money.

They're all going to think you're the God of Wealth." Betty said.

After hearing Betty's explanation, Lin Yuan finally understood.

The success of the Kendo Tournament further reaffirmed the confidence of a large number of investors who were already optimistic about him.

So a large number of investors rushed to Betty, causing the $140 billion subscription scale of Linyuan Film Company's IPO to be sold out in an instant.

"So? You have to conduct a targeted share issuance to address the problem of a large number of investors not being able to get subscription shares?" Lin Yuan asked.

Could it be that the investors in IPO and initial private placement are essentially the same group of people?

They couldn't get enough share, so the next best thing was to split it up.

Subscribe for a portion through IPO, and then get another portion through private placement.

If this is the case, there is certainly no infringement on old shareholders, let alone old shareholders opposing the IPO.

Betty smiled and replied, "You finally understand. They're worried that after the company goes public, the stock price will soar too high, and they won't be able to get the 'cheap' shares. So, they're proposing a pre-signed agreement at this stage to lock in a 40x PE price to ensure they'll get the shares."

Is 40 times PE still considered a “low price”?
Lin Yuan couldn't even imagine it.

When Linyuan Film and Television Company went public, its market capitalization was US$700 billion, with a total share capital of 70 billion shares and a price of US$10 per share.

After the private placement, without considering the fluctuations caused by stock price fluctuations during the period, the market value will reach US$900 billion, with a total share capital of 85 billion shares and a price of US$10.58 per share.

The price of the private placement is US$13.3 per share, which is higher than the market price.

These big investors are acquiring shares at a premium...

Under normal circumstances, investors are eager to bargain, forcing the China Securities Regulatory Commission to stipulate that the price of the private placement must not be lower than 80% of the market price in order to protect the interests of old investors.

But this time, big investors are grabbing shares at a premium, which is simply magical.

The main reason is that these investors made predictions. They were worried that once the film company went public, the price would skyrocket, let alone the price of $13.3.

I'm afraid I won't even get $15.

So I want to lock in this price in advance.

"If you think this price is reasonable, I will listen to you." Lin Yuan replied.

Betty nodded. "It's already a very good price. We should leave some profit for them."

"As for your third question, do we need to urgently raise funds?" Betty continued, "My suggestion is, we do."

Lin Yuan didn't say anything and listened quietly to Betty continue.

"Our predictions are consistent. The economy will be in an expansionary period in the next few years. During this period, we should leverage as much as possible to achieve rapid wealth appreciation.

Perhaps your film company doesn't need that much capital, because even if the capital increases tenfold, the film output can't increase tenfold, and the profit is even less likely to increase tenfold.

But there is a lot of room for growth in the investment sector. Your domestic film companies need a lot of capital, but those two companies have no access to financing.

"With the film company as a listed entity, you can better inject capital into those two companies and acquire more high-quality resources," Betty explained.

After hearing Betty's detailed explanation, Lin Yuan had to admit that when it came to manipulating capital, these Wall Street elites were the best.

Before the film company went public, Betty and Lin Yuan had analyzed that his businesses, excluding Long Island Investment Bank, consisted of three main parts:

Film studios, film studios, and domestic CBD commercial real estate. (Chapter 432)
Among them, the film and television city is a money-burning project that will not be profitable in the short term and is not suitable as a listing entity.

The CBD project and the film and television city project are bundled together to share financial indicators and reduce pressure from investors, so they are not suitable as listing entities.

In fact, the domestic real estate boom has not yet arrived. Even if the CBD platform company can be listed independently, Lin Yuan will not agree.

The price is too low at this moment, and it would be a big loss to sell it now.

Therefore, there is only one entity that makes the final decision on the listing: the film company.

The other two projects that cannot be listed for the time being are in a state of crying out for support.

Betty's suggestion for this situation is that the film company, as the listed entity, should raise funds as much as possible, and then use the funds to support the two non-listed domestic entities.

Although there are many restrictions on the capital operations of listed companies, there are still many ways to transfer funds.

Issuing bonds, equity investment... there are many ways to do this, and with Betty here, it is not a problem at all.

"Thank you for considering so much for me. I agree with your plan." Lin Yuan said.

"Don't be too happy too soon. Everything has a price. You should also be aware of the price of taking money." Betty said.

"I know, there are mainly two reasons: first, investors are not here to do charity, I must use better performance to support the stock price. Second, my equity will be further diluted, and I can't keep doing this." Lin Yuan replied.

When the film company was first listed, its total share capital was 70 billion shares, and Mr. Lin Yuan and Mr. Eisen jointly held 56 billion shares, accounting for 80%.

However, this round of private placement will issue 15 billion shares, with a US stock price of US$13.3.

This means that the total share capital has reached 85 billion shares, and Mr. Lin Yuan and Mr. Eisen's shareholding ratio will drop to 65.9%.

In fact, they will also repurchase some appropriately to ensure that the shareholding ratio is above 66.7% and ensure absolute control.

There are two lines of company equity. One is holding more than 50% of the shares, which is a relative control and can decide most of the company's matters.

The other line is two-thirds, which is absolute control.

There are some major matters that affect the fate of the company, and the decision can only be made by holding more than two-thirds of the shares.

As long as Lin Yuan does not want to lose his absolute control over the company, he must maintain his shareholding ratio at 66.7%.

Therefore, after this private placement, it will be very difficult for Lin Yuan to continue to raise funds through equity.

After all, financing is not something that can be endless. Through two rounds of operations, being able to gain control over $340 billion in funds is already a very good result.

Lin Yuan couldn't expect more.

After hearing Lin Yuan's answer, Betty knew that he had fully understood the interests involved.

So Betty said, "Now that you understand, I'll go ahead and do it."

Lin Yuan nodded: "Thank you for helping me so much."

After saying that, he took a step forward and gently hugged Betty.

Throughout this entire process, Betty never mentioned a single difficulty she encountered.

But how can everything go smoothly?

When doing things, you will always encounter various difficulties. This is the norm in life.

Betty didn't say it, but Lin Yuan couldn't help but express his gratitude.

"I'm willing to help you in any way." Betty rested her chin on Lin Yuan's shoulder.

"If you want to express your gratitude, give me a child," Betty whispered.

"what?"

"You do not want it?"

"Of course I will. Next time I'll put it inside."

"it is good."

Betty blushed and nodded.

"But speaking of thanks, I have a gift for you."

Lin Yuan took a step back, took out a glass bottle from his pocket and handed it to Betty.

"What is this?" Betty took it.

Seeing Lin Yuan being so serious and handing an inconspicuous glass bottle to her, Betty certainly would not take it lightly.

This must be something very valuable.

"This is a nutritional supplement. There is only one bottle of it in the world. Drink it quickly." Lin Yuan said.

"A miracle drug from the East? The secret recipe that makes you so strong?" Betty guessed with a smile.

As she spoke, she opened the glass bottle and poured the youth potion into her mouth.

[Youth Potion (AB Type): Please swallow all at once. This potion increases lifespan by 15 years and slows aging by 8 years. This potion is only effective for AB Type females who are in a close relationship with the host.]

A light sweet taste, nothing special?
But the next moment, Betty immediately felt a cold sensation surging through her body like a tide.

This feeling was so magical and comfortable that Betty couldn't help but close her eyes and quietly feel the experience.

Betty is older than Lin Yuan’s other three women. She clearly feels that her body seems to be getting younger?

It was as if she had instantly returned to the age of eighteen, when her body was at its most energetic.

The heavy workload and frequent staying up late over the years have caused her a lot of physical damage.

For example, there are some fine lines at the corners of my eyes that are hard to detect if you don’t look carefully, and my memory and energy are not as good as they used to be...

All of this seemed to be swept away by the cold feeling after drinking this bottle of potion?

Betty opened her eyes and quickly walked to her desk.

She picked up the mirror on the table and looked carefully at the corner of her eyes:
Those annoying fine lines are gone!

She found that she really had become younger, and it was not an illusion.

By this time, Betty couldn't have been unaware of what was happening.

She walked up to Lin Yuan and asked nervously, "Is it because of that bottle of potion?"

Giving Betty the youth potion definitely resulted in a different reaction than the other three women had before.

Being able to clearly feel the effects of the potion, Betty naturally felt the incredible power of this supernatural force.

In reality, no matter what kind of technology is used, it is impossible to create a potion like this that can restore youth to a certain extent.

What would Betty think when she felt all this?

However, Lin Yuan believed that Betty would be able to accept it well. After all, she had accepted the previous "mind reading" well.

Among all the women in Lin Yuan, only Betty could accept this kind of thing relatively well, because she was the most mature and knew the interests better.

In response to Betty's question, Lin Yuan nodded: "Yes, it is a potion that can restore youth to some extent."

"Is your amazing physical condition also due to this potion?" Betty asked.

"That's not the case, but I can stay young longer thanks to this potion." It was inappropriate to mention something as difficult to explain as the system, so Lin Yuan answered as truthfully as possible.

"It's amazing! I feel like I've suddenly become ten years younger, and I feel like I can live to at least 100 years old!" Betty exclaimed.

"Your feeling is correct, it has similar effects." Lin Yuan replied.

"Anything else?" Betty's reaction was not out of greed, but out of a woman's obsession with youth.

"I shouldn't have asked. Even if such a rare treasure still exists, I shouldn't know about it." Betty continued immediately.

Lin Yuan shook his head: "There's nothing I can't say. Sorry, this is the last bottle in the world."

"It's so precious. You actually gave me the last bottle?" Betty's eyes were red. She was particularly touched by the attention.

"Nothing is more precious than you." Lin Yuan replied.

"Thank you, I love this gift so much." Betty jumped up and hugged Lin Yuan.

It was rare to see the calm Betty show this side of her. Lin Yuan was a little flustered and held her hips to prevent her from falling.

So, the two passionate people continued to do the "real thing" again.

When everything was over, Lin Yuan went straight to the airport.

Before the listing, his schedule was really tight as domestic schedules were waiting for him.
