Chapter 940
Ian asked her nonchntly, even faking an interest in some gossip on his phone.
Maja was already plugged into her headphones and didn''t hear what he said.
Ian waited for ten minutes without a reply and lifted his head to nce at her.
Then he tried to get out of bed, leaning against the wall, and slowly made his way over to her. He saw
Maja deeply engrossed in the sharesposition of the EcoTraverse Group.
The business of the EcoTraverse Group and the Star Movie Group didn''t sh, so she must be
researching it for him.
A smirk tugged at his lips as he leaned over her, his shadow almost covering her.
"Why are you researching this? The sharesposition of the EcoTraverse Group has always been
simple: 95% is held by share trust institutions, and only 5% is in the hands of their CEO."
Maja''s hand paused. The information she got before was that 95% was with the share trust institutions,
and 5% was with other executives. If Ian were to take over this gambling agreement, he would have to
bribe all the executives. Now that this 5% of shares were in the CEO''s hands, it implied that this matter
had no chance of sess because this was a gamble between the CEO and Ian!
She took off her headphones and said, "You knew this. So why did you sign this with the EcoTraverse
Group?"

Ian simply wanted to chat with her more, afraid that she would leave after finishing her work, so he sat
down beside her now.
The chair was wide but still a bit cramped for two people, so Maja shifted a bit to the side.
Ian moved closer, saying, "There''s nothing worth researching about the EcoTraverse Group."
His words sounded like he was belittling the EcoTraverse Group as a smallpany, while it was one
of the top car groups in the world. Many of the luxury cars he drove were produced by them.
Maja looked at him suspiciously. Anyway, the 15% shares of Holden were already in his hands. As long
as he gathered some retail investor shares, the CEO position would still be his. So, Maja switched to
another page.
This time, it''s about the financial news of Simstar Entertainment.
Maja''s hands were rapidly typing away on the keyboard. Ian could tell what she was up to.
"You''re nning to secretly buy shares of Simstar Entertainment?"
"Not necessarily."
A graph of the share price fluctuations appeared on the screen. The share price of Simstar
Entertainment had been falling, especially during the several times Maja had a showdown with them.
"Maja, the stock exchange has rules. Once you hold a certain amount of shares, you have to make it
public."
This meant that secret buying can only reach this minimum limit, which was usually around 5%—not
even enough to get a seat on the executive board. It would also drain all the cash in Maja''s hands
because buying 5% of Simstar Entertainment''s shares would cost a fortune.
And Maja''s Star Movie Group was just starting, it could copse at any moment if it lost its cash flow.
That''s why many people wonder how seeminglyrgepanies can go under in such a short time.
The reason was that when the cash flow was insufficient, it led to a rise in the debt ratio. If any link had
a problem,panies with smaller cash flows won''t be able to handle it.
Maja wasn''t nning to secretly buy shares of Simstar Entertainment. For her, it would be like a suicide
mission.
Her cash was not enough, with Simstar Entertainment''s umtion over the years, its total assets
were nearly 10 billion. How could she possibly buy 5% of the shares with the little money she had?
She just wanted to know how many shares Funfly held and who her subordinates were.
Ian saw her so focused and quietly moved his shoulder to touch hers.
Maja was totally engrossed in herputer and didn''t notice his small action.
Seeing that she had no intention of buying Simstar Entertainment''s shares, Ian took one of her
earphones and put it on.
He then realized she was listening to music, not in a meeting.
Turned out Maja liked to listen to soft music.
But the piece she performed with Alma was full of energy.
Ian didn''t realize he was admiring her. Because he and his brother Eric were geniuses since childhood,
they learned anything very quickly.
They mastered college courses in elementary school, so Eric started working with a group of experts in
domestic research institutes at a young age.
Talent was something that hard work can never catch up with.
As harsh as this sounded, it''s the truth.
The atmosphere became very quiet, a rare peaceful moment when they were together.
Maja reached for an earphone to listen to the music, only to find one was already in Ian''s ear.
She frowned and shoved the other one into her own ear.
After she finished analyzing the sharesposition of Simstar Entertainment, she started to deal with
her work emails. While she was making a n for Shawn, a male voice came from the side.
"Do you, as a CEO, have to personally make ns for an artist?"
