Wtf is this test thing now?
Doesnt MC already own majority shares and then his side of family owns some more 70% to be exact and 66% him alone?
Why would he need to be a part of anna's family and entertain them with this bullshit test,
I mean i get being on good terms with them, but this is just like putting mc down even tho he owns everything through his grandpa,
Doesn't the dev know anything about economics,
Like that Dominatrix looking girl called bellatrix (meh) talking about shares they already own or don't?
I would fire everyone at that table fuckers trying to act all high and mighty
And they really need to do proofreading or pay me to do it for them cuz its shite rn.

You're just a happy person, aren't you.......
By the looks of how he used his words, I'm guessing more a troller.
I take it you have never heard of non-voting shares (look 'em up there's a wiki article), many large companies issue these to people who invest in a company but who do not want to get involved in the day to day running of said company.
It is perfectly reasonable that Frank would issue non-voting shares to family members so that they could share in the profits of the family business whilst being able to do whatever they want with their lives.

Well as a business owner myself, I can see several reasons for the test.
1. It shows who is who and where their loyalties are. I think most of them are in it just for what they can get. The power and money.
2. It shows just how capable the MC is when it comes to starting and running a company. I think the MC will do most of it himself, while the others have lackeys do it as it is beneath them.
3. If MC (and I am sure he will) can prove how capable he is, there is no need to pull the share owned card. Keep that in the back pocket until later. And I am sure there will be a later.
4. The less the MC (and the ones loyal to him) show, the stronger they will be. As people will underestimate him. Look at what happened at the table in the meeting.
Just some of the things that will benefit the MC and why the test.
Also lets not forget the most important reason for the test, so that the game has some kind of tension and it's not just protagonist having everything handed to him on a silver platter while everyone lines up to kiss his arse.

its odd. But in this case its a test for CEO. Owning a company does not necessarily make you CEO automatically. So in this case if the Mc looses the test he'd still own the entire thing but not be CEO. I do agree it feels out of nowhere tho, since the Mc could just use his voting power to fire everyone and make himself CEO anyway,even if he looses. Still there could be some actual reason for it like giving mc an opportunity to see who to keep and who to fire.

Welcome to F95!Damn! Sometimes I read this thread and I have to double check to see if I'm in the right thread. Anna has a few frames of hairdresser slice of life and it's an issue? Gimme a break. Somebody can't see Diana helping MC? Somebody else doesn't understand the need for a power struggle? First, remember the need to keep MC hidden and unaware of his heritage? It's the core of the plot. Remember his Dad being so fearful he ran from it? It's supposed to be something sinister. Remember MC finding some suspicious activities in the corporate banking numbers? Notice the conference table with 4 shifty looking male characters on one side and all the women and MC on the other? There's more than just symbolism going on here... The reader is pretty nearly told, in so many words, that the "contest" is a delaying tactic to provide time to expose the corrupt parties before MC takes over. In the corporate world, having a controlling interest in shares does not 100% guarantee control.
All the information is there in the story... Oh, wait... Am I disregarding all the opinions from those who haven't read it at all or skipped a lot? Hmmm... I guess I would suggest reading it first; then having the conversation.

I agree and I'd like to add a few thoughts:
It already seems that there are people bringing in gang members and siphoning cash/profits off of at least parts of the company (the 'Manager' from Mona's shop, for example).
In an effort to win - will Marvin really keep it all legal - or will he/underlings pad the books/get help from the cartels/gangs to go for the win?
Finally, it's certainly reasonable for an independent auditor to be brought in to assess the 'earnings/profits' when the competition wraps up.
If Marvin/his team are lazy and condescending regarding the process, the audit will uncover fake sales, money laundering, etc. and this will help Bella and the MC clean house while establishing his credentials to run the business.
Marvin may also think he has an inside track on intel:

I'm curious to see how the MC/Diana relationship evolves with Bella assigning her to help the MC with this new company.
Cheers!!

You have stated some good points. And like you mentioned, who is loyal and who is in it only for what they can get. Family ties are not going to help anyone in the long run now that MC is of age. Or at least that is mu opinion.I agree and I'd like to add a few thoughts:

I have the feeling that there are a lot more players involved than has been mentioned. Some might be legal, some illegal. Some might be family and some not family. There are interesting times a brewing.

Just gonna warn the author that a capital injection like that wold require a minimum of 2 years to blend in some sort of profit. Theres also the problem that companies do not simply appear out of thin air, theres a reason why the start up market has failed big time in san fran, the ones that do ammount to something meaningful are the type of companies referred as Unicorns. Needless to say full audits can only occur yearly, however data will still be analyzed by each quarter, but as all investors know quaterly data can be masked and obfuscated by pushing capital and investments over the line and polishing profits over that timeframe. Turn over data on the first year also tends to be a mess because theres no method of comparison or expected sazonality. Good luck.
TheBlueInk Just started this, is there a fix for the character coding issues? viz...
Could it be the gallery mod?
NVM. Saves got corrupted trying to troubleshoot the damn shit. Have to start the fucking thing over.
