[QUOTE="stevew, post: 212169, member: 130"] I could be wrong but I doubt Pamela, Chris and Cliff would have sold all of their shares in the company when they went public. Mostly likely they’d keep a percentage when they went public, like Bill Gates did when Microsoft went public. But they did mention that they sold a majority share and thus technical control (again like Bill Gates), which Bobby and Sue Ellen, who didn’t own anything of Ewing Global (or at least probably wouldn’t have post Barnes Global’s take over due to debt, though I’m not certain of CC’s thinking, she was never as clear on this matter as the original Dallas), managed to buy (after some complications) thanks to loans from Carlos. There Steve also some dramatic and interesting ways all this can be done. In the case of Bill Gates, he immediately began to sell shares, a tiny bit, every day and has for decades putting that money into a new investment company, hence diversifying his investments until he owns little to none of Microsoft. Or Page and Sergey who kept a small percent of Alphabet (parent company of Google) but as a special class of stock where their shares all have more votes per share than the shares on the market, thus control. It gets pretty complicated and thus dramatic. I do really appreciate the complement. You do a great job at the descriptions and relationships. I kinda go quick over that stuff for the business plots, which probably makes your stories more interesting. I’m going to try and focus on a family issue to see how it goes over business for a while, my self. I am so enjoying this different point of view of yours. It’s not all that different but you do incorporate CC’s characters while at best I skyways mention them but write them out. And I like route of Pam you’re taking. I was never a fan, but I know many people were, and she’s had 20+ years, and some of that mental instability of Rebecca’s children. One only knows how she could change things. Could be like Alexis arriving on Dynasty - nothing will be the same. [/QUOTE]
