"True Adventure" is undoubtedly a very cruel reality show, but it is also attractive because of its reality, and the ratings can be said to be very good.

However, it also caused great controversy across the United States because of the destructive power of this reality show.

However, Andy doesn't care about these controversies. He never underestimates the public's psychology of peeping into other people's privacy, and the melon-eating crowds never bother to be serious.

According to Nelson's ratings survey report, "True Adventure" has a total of 2,300 viewers, and the ratings are as high as 10.2%, which shows its popularity.

At the same time, according to the survey feedback from am TV, although 90% of viewers said they would not participate in this program, they said they liked to watch others say it very much.

Faced with the temptation of $500,000, all kinds of hidden secrets are exposed in broad daylight, and the shortcomings of humanoids are exposed to the world. When questioning the moral bottom line of the show, we have to sigh at the complexity of human nature and the courage of contestants and guests.

In modern society, people have become accustomed to lying. Telling the truth will not only make themselves lonely, but will also ruin their lives and will not gain a foothold in society.

"I have seen some media doubts about the program, but don't pay attention to them. What is human nature? Self-protection is the nature of human beings. The truth from nature is often evil, difficult to accept, and disappointing. Therefore, in order to survive well in the world, people have to choose to whitewash...

Just like our new president, after he was elected, the so-called political correctness was immediately shaken. In the past, people were supreme, everyone shouted to beat him, but now, they are the ones who make the most violent, haha, it's ridiculous."

Andy said with a disdainful expression, and Pripler also smiled helplessly. He naturally knew that before O'Hainiu took over, two premeditated assassinations were cracked, and Sankan began to cross the street. Some cities with serious discrimination problems were even hung with various slogans with attacks.

The two of them had another exchange and discussion about the matter on Am TV until the little assistant knocked on the door and walked in.

"Boss, Mr. Vitley is here."

"Well, let him come in." Andy nodded, then stood up and shook hands with Plaipler and said, "Let's do it, go back and continue to develop according to the established plan. The merger with NB Global will not start so soon. Even if it is merged, am or am. Although it will be connected to the grid, it will not be merged into NB. So, be optimistic about our TV station."

"I understand, boss, I know what to do." When Plaipler heard the big boss's words, the doubt in his heart also dissipated. He knew that before the big boss completely and completely controlled NB Global, Am and NB would still exist separately. Moreover, he was not without coveting the eO position of NB broadcaster.

As soon as Pripler left the office, Alvetre walked in and said to Andy: "Boss, the time is almost over, and the reporter downstairs has arrived, and the Black Knights plan can be started."

"Haha, then let me officially kick off!"

Andy stood in front of the cloak mirror and pulled the hem of his suit, buttoned the suit, showed a confident smile on his face. After saying to Alvetre, he took the lead in walking out of the office with big strides.

"bite!"

The elevator door opened and Andy came to the hall of Gaia Building, which had been filled with reporters. With his arrival, the sound of a clattering shutter immediately sounded in the originally noisy hall.

"I don't need to introduce myself. Thank you all the media friends for coming. The reason why I asked you to come here today is to announce something to the public..."

Andy stood in front of many reporters, and various recording pens in front of him. A bunch of microphones appeared, with a faint smile on her face, and continued without any rush: "Just just now, I already held 25% of Starbucks shares. From now on, I will officially issue a full acquisition offer to the Starbucks board of directors!"

"Wow"

Everyone present was in an uproar. It was not because these reporters were ignorant and had never seen the world. Andy made a fuss when he acquired a company. The reason for the uproar was mainly because the company that Andy acquired was too special.

It’s not because of the special business, but because the 20% Starbucks shares that Andy mentioned are really incredible. Everyone looked at Andy with shock and admiration.

Since Starbucks was successfully listed on Nasdaq in 1992, Starbucks' stock can be traded publicly in the secondary market. Starbucks' equity structure has taken a turning point.

The company then conducted four 2-to-1 stock splits in 1994, 1996, 1999 and 1921, respectively, so that the equity was dispersed as quickly as possible.

The reason why Starbucks quickly disperses its equity evenly in this way is because the management has the strength to interfere in the company's operations in order to prevent shareholders from mastering too many shares.

If it is dispersed in this way, the company's control can always be controlled by senior managers, thus initially realizing the separation of equity and company's control.

By 2003, Starbucks had more than 12,000 shareholders, and what is even more unimaginable is that none of them held more than 3% of the shares.

This undoubtedly shows that Starbucks' equity has been completely dispersed, and even those who own more than 0.5% of the company's equity can be considered major shareholders, which makes the company's control firmly in the hands of senior managers.

But now, Andy Smith said that he has already controlled 25% of the shares. He undoubtedly has become the largest shareholder since Starbucks went public, and at the same time, it also marks a huge change in Starbucks' equity structure.

He can already rely on his identity as the largest shareholder to completely influence Starbucks' operations, and he can already request a board meeting as the largest shareholder to complete the power of the shift.

Everyone present was shocked by Andy Smith's courage and patience. Starbucks' opening price today was $7.71, mainly due to the financial crisis, Starbucks' continuous layoffs and store closures.

In addition to buying stocks from the secondary market, it will undoubtedly take a long time to prepare and negotiate with small shareholders one by one to acquire them. This will definitely cost a lot of manpower and financial resources to achieve this.

"Mr. Smith, you are already the largest shareholder, why don't you join the board of directors..."

"Mr. Smith, will you be the chairman of Starbucks?"

"Mr. Smith, will Starbucks reform be interrupted? Have you ever met Howard Schultz..."

"Everyone is quiet!"

Andy's face was calm, facing the excitement of the crowd, and began to ask various questions. Andy raised her voice and reached out to make a pressing move.

The scene quickly became quiet, with hundreds of eyes staring at him, and Andy didn't care and smiled lightly: "As we all know, Starbucks' equity structure is very scattered and even. Personally holding 3% is already considered a major shareholder. I have now held 25%, which is already the largest individual shareholder. However, this has not met my requirements at all. I can only tell you that my acquisition of Starbucks has just begun!"

"Thank you, that's all for the press conference, thank you..."

After Andy finished speaking, he smiled and nodded with the reporters present, ignoring the reporters who were stopped by many bodyguards and security guards, kept shouting various questions, turned around and walked towards the elevator.

"Have you made an appointment?" Andy asked the little assistant who was walking towards him.

"The appointment was here, and the other party was very surprised, but he was very happy and looked forward to meeting with the boss." The little assistant replied hurriedly.

"Okay, let's go." Andy showed an extremely sunny smile, and his slightly narrowed eyes flashed with light.
