Chapter 291: Opportunity to Get Involved in Coca-Cola

"Hey, Ivy, what are you daydreaming about?" the bassist asked first after the sound of the instrument stopped.

"What?" Avril, who had been absent-minded, finally came back to her senses, "Oh, sorry, I thought of something."

"What's wrong with you today? You've been in a trance several times." The drummer interrupted.

"I wonder if she's dating some lucky guy." Someone joked, which immediately caused a burst of laughter.

"Okay, guys, stop nagging," Avril forced a smile and acted nonchalantly, "I know I'm not in a good state today, I will adjust as soon as possible, please!"

So the matter was left at that.

But only Avril herself knew that she was actually worried about some rumors in the company and something that happened today.

Causes mental confusion.

Even during training, she couldn't adjust herself and was distracted many times, causing her band members to complain about her.

Avril Lavigne, a Canadian, is not yet fourteen years old.

She was brought from Canada to join Universal Music at the beginning of this year.

Because of the two teenage singers Britney and Christina Aguilera.

Plus the boss's instructions.

Universal Music is increasingly willing to cultivate new talents.

I like to recruit young people or even children with potential to train them.

It's kind of a copy of Disney's Mickey Mouse Club.

After all, their big boss snatched away Disney's most successful thing, the Mickey Mouse Club.

This is how Avril came to Universal Music, signed a contract with the company, and became a trainee of the company.

Similar to Avril are Cheryl Cole, Carrie Underwood, Katy Perry and others who are about the same age.

They were all recruited into the company when they were twelve or thirteen years old, and are now receiving training and development from the company.

Haven't debuted yet.

And Avril, she looks the youngest and most petite.

But in terms of personality, what can she say?

A little precocious.

Also, she heard some rumors in the company.

For example, Britney who is extremely popular right now and Christina who is very popular.

They are popular for a reason.

It's not about how talented they are.

But...it's because of their other identity.

Avril was looking at the music score and thought of the super singer Britney whom she saw with her own eyes at noon. She went to the top floor and never came down.

According to the schedule, Britney should have come to the training room for training.

After all, Britney Spears’ talent, singing voice and timbre are really ordinary.

She can be so popular.

It is generally believed that half of the reason is that her appearance filled a gap in the entertainment industry.

The other half of the reason is that Ms. Britney Spears is just lucky enough.

The two albums that just came out were both produced by the super talented and super rich Milo Blackburn.

That's why he became so famous.

But now, the precocious Avril feels that Britney may not be lucky.

But...but...

Avril Lavigne dared to fight three boys alone at the age of ten, and dared to jump out of the second-floor window at the age of eleven.

The adventurous and bold spirit in her seemed to be activated at this moment.

After thinking about it, Avril Lavigne made an excuse.

She left the training room and took the stairs instead of the elevator, climbing quietly from the third floor where the training room was located to the top floor, the sixth floor.

To Avril's surprise, and even to the point of making her back off, there were two groups of tall and strong men in black suits on the stairs, who looked very difficult to deal with.

Fortunately, they refused to let Avril through at first.

Later, her identity was confirmed, and she also talked to the superiors on the intercom.

Avril was actually let go.

She was able to climb the stairs to the sixth floor quietly.

After walking around several corridors, Avril soon saw the private lounge.

During her training breaks, she "ventured" in alone twice.

It was very luxurious and spacious inside. She later found out that it was the private lounge of the big boss Milo Blackburn.

At this moment, there was no one in the corridor outside and the door was half-open.

She didn't think much about it. She took two or three steps and was about to knock on the door, but the scene she saw through the crack in the door suddenly made her body become extremely stiff.

Just inside, on the sofa, Britney, wearing tiny boots, leggings and a tight long-sleeved dress, was sitting on Milo's lap.

She had her arms around Milo's neck and was talking to him affectionately.

And give sweet kisses from time to time.

And Milo also smiled and laughed with her.

His hands would occasionally pinch her chin, waist and buttocks.

It is completely different from the serious and positive image in the news.

Avril's head buzzed and her hands and feet felt cold.

Even in the company, she also heard a lot of rumors.

Several popular singers, including Britney Spears, Christina Aguilena, etc., all have very ambiguous relationships with the big boss.

Especially Britney and Christina, they can be said to have been discovered and made famous by Minogue.

Many people said they had slept with him.

But she remained as skeptical as everyone else.

I didn't expect to see such a scene here today.

Calm down, stay calm.

No matter what happens, stay calm! Avril kept saying this to herself in her head.

But from time to time there was a voice like this:

"Very interesting lyrics and music. It seems you have learned a lot in the music school."

"This is for the master."

“It can be released as a single.”

"Since the master said so, your little pet will listen to you and release a single!"

“…”

Master, little pet... these words made Avril's hands and feet go cold.

She felt that she knew a great secret.

My heart was pounding, my hands and feet were cold, and my breathing became a little stiff.

Reason told Avril that she should leave quickly.

If we get discovered, and the boss gets angry and embarrassed, we’ll be in trouble.

But her natural boldness, adventurous nature and voyeurism kept her staying.

Caught in the middle, Avril felt torn.

Fortunately——

With a clang.

Avril doesn't have to worry.

She leaned too close and accidentally knocked the half-open door.

The man and woman who were intimate in the room looked over in surprise.

For a moment, Avril felt like she was losing control of her body.

I clearly wanted to run, but my legs and feet wouldn't move.

Under the gaze of a man and a woman, she could only smile stiffly and raised a small hand, "Hi, hi. I, I don't want to disturb you. But, but, sorry, my legs are numb."

He even trembled when he spoke.

Milo looked at Britney, and a smile appeared on his face that Avril didn't see.

Because in fact, it was not luck or her adventurous nature that Avril got here.

If she wasn't Avril, she wasn't on someone's charter list.

There was no way she could get to the sixth floor; Kenny and the others would stop her.

And because she was on the privileged list, both Milo and Britney knew about it when she came up just now.

The little pet also knows the owner's list and knows that the name Avril Lavigne is special.

She suggested provoking Avril.

Only then could Avril see what had just happened.

Even next, she would be forced to come in.

Because at this time, Britney was already walking towards her with a smile, and with her graceful steps, Avril could see that she was not wearing any safety pants under her miniskirt.

Or rather, nothing to wear!

"Avril Lavigne?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Britney came to Avril, who was scared and had numb legs, and squatted down and looked at her with a smile.

Avril's eyes flashed, as if she was thinking that you were exposed.

But seeing that Britney didn't care at all, Avril nodded, "Yes, it was me. Sorry, I didn't mean it..."

She originally wanted to say that she was lost, but then she remembered that Britney knew her and she had been here for almost half a year.

I've been in this building for half a year, and I still feel lost.

"Anyway, anyway, I'm really sorry." Avril was almost crying.

"Don't be sorry."

Britney showed a strange smile on her face at this time: "Welcome, welcome to the reality, Miss Lavigne."

Most humans like to have pets.

Pets can provide companionship to their owners and reduce loneliness. Interaction with pets can also make people relax.

Sometimes you can also get the satisfaction of a sense of responsibility, which makes people feel a sense of accomplishment.

For example, watching a parrot that you raised yourself learn to talk makes you feel that your efforts have paid off.

These are the rewards that ordinary people can get from keeping pets.

As for Milo, he didn't like animals, and he only liked animals when they were on the table.

But he is also a normal person and needs to keep a pet.

So...he kept some small pets.

They can also provide him with emotional comfort and emotional value.

And when you see your little pets, under your training, achieving more successful careers than they did in their previous life.

Milo will also feel a sense of accomplishment.

He is playing a development game.

They are his little pets.

"Turn off the DV, asshole"

"Haha, such a beautiful scene should be kept as a souvenir..."

In the evening, the gorgeous sunset is reflected on the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the tall buildings outside the house symbolize human modern civilization.

Britney hugged Avril and pulled the blanket covering them both.

"It's nothing serious. You're too small. The master is afraid of killing you."

"I think it's too small, let's keep it for a few more years."

Avril was a little annoyed, but she was limp all over. She didn't look at her, but instead looked at the huge orange fireball outside the floor-to-ceiling window, which dyed the entire sky red, so beautiful that it was breathtaking.

By this time, the man had already left.

He left in a hurry after receiving a phone call.

Avril thought.

Otherwise, he might have to play with himself for who knows how long.

Although it didn't really happen to me.

But... Avril shook her teeth. She felt that she would not have such wild thoughts now.

As they began to get dressed and prepare to leave Milo's lounge.

Milo also rushed to Rockefeller Center.

But this time we were not going to his International Building, but the tallest General Electric Building next to Sixth Avenue.

On the top floor, Milo met Ariana's grandfather.

David Rockefeller.

"I think this company might interest you."

David Rockefeller said with a smile.

After saying that, he opened the drawer under the tea table, took out a file bag and handed it to Milo.

Milo took it with some doubt, opened the bag, took out a stack of documents, and quickly read through them.

At first glance, he looked up with some surprise and looked at Old David.

Since it is the equity document of Coca-Cola Company!

After seeing those words, Milo was slightly shocked and became fully alert.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before Milo saw a number - 22.9%.

This number is also what Milo learned, the shareholding ratio of the Rockefeller Foundation in Coca-Cola Company!

Coca-Cola originally had four major shareholders, namely the Chicago Consortium 25.4%, the Rockefeller Consortium 22.9%, the Morgan Consortium 21.7%, and the Rothschild family 15.3%.

Of course, these shares are held on behalf of others, through mutual holdings, shell companies and shell companies.

On the list of shareholders, the names of the four major conglomerates will appear particularly inconspicuous.

The remaining dozen or so percent of shares are basically scattered in the market, held by retail investors and some stubborn institutions.

For example, Buffett, this guy started buying stocks ten years ago.

But now he only holds 7% of the shares and is the largest shareholder in the market.

In fact, the owners of stable monopoly companies including General Electric, Coca-Cola, McDonald's and Subway are all these consortiums.

After reading the document, Milo slowly raised his head, "Dear old David, what do you mean?"

"I intend to sell these shares to you."

Milo was instantly moved.

If we could take over the current 22.9% stake of the Rockefeller Foundation.

Then Milo only needs to buy a few more shares in the stock market.

He could easily become the largest shareholder of Coca-Cola Company and thus control the world's number one beverage company.

This is Coca-Cola!

What they produce is not black sugar water at all, what they produce is the most stable profit! This thing is no longer a simple drink.

It can even be said to be a symbol of human civilization.

Basically, as long as human civilization can continue, humans will probably still drink Coke even in the interstellar age.

Does it really taste that good?

Not necessarily, but it has indeed succeeded in creating a widespread conditioned reflex in humanity’s collective memory.

And it is almost at the level of human civilization.

It can be said that among all the civilian products made by mankind, none can compare with Coca-Cola.

Controlling this company is almost equivalent to controlling an inexhaustible source of profit for humanity.

It would be a lie to say that Milo wasn't moved.

Coca-Cola's current market value is approximately $150 billion.

About 22% of the shares would cost about 30 billion US dollars.

Expensive, but worth it.

But the question is, why would old David not want to sell him such a valuable share? This is too abnormal.

"The reason." Milo looked at the old man.

"Morgan doesn't want JPMorgan Chase to have a third shareholder besides Morgan and Rockefeller." Old David said softly.

"And this is compensation." The old man pointed to the document.
