Hollywood New Century - Chapter 432
At the beginning of October 2011, Simon, who returned to the United States, smelled an uneasy breath and sprinted among the people.
In the past month, the Hollywood female star hacking incident, and the leak of countless private photos made many viewers eat melons;
At the same time, the uproar of the Occupy Wall Street incident last month has spread to major cities in the United States.
A large number of people protested in Wall Street Square, and so far, many people in financial districts such as Boston, Atlanta, Denver, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Pittsburgh have also learned the operation of New Yorkers.
“There’s no shooting?” Simon and Nancy Davis sat in the Phoenix Investment Fund’s offices in the Xinghai Building, watching the news broadcast on TV.
Hold high the “protest that American politicians only care about corporate interests”;
“Protest that financial giants use money to buy political gains”;
“Protest against the widening gap between rich and poor”;
“Calling on ordinary people to regain their influence over U.S. political and economic decision-making”;
“Strive to oppose the demands of war, environmental protection and human rights”;
The messy slogan really made Simon couldn’t help laughing.
“The police and the National Guard are always on call, and the police in many cities are very thorough in dispersing the protesters,” Nancy Davis explained.
“I heard some people say that they are going to occupy Congress and occupy Washington, I really hope they can succeed,” Simon laughed again. The occupation of Wall Street movement is obviously influenced by London, England. They have a strong jealousy of high-income people in the financial industry. .
“Rest assured, a large number of police were dispatched on the first day, although small-scale moderate protests were not vigorously dispersed. However, large-scale gatherings were forcibly dispersed, and cities understood,” Nancy Davis don’t worry at all,
“Cities can’t be chaotic, and the government won’t allow them to be chaotic.”
“Have Xinghai Entertainment’s large-scale promotion meeting and publicity work started?” Simon asked.
The so-called IPO roadshow is to introduce the company to underwriters, institutional investors, analysts, fund managers and hedge funds, etc. It also provides investors with the opportunity to listen to management’s vision and goals for the company and enhance their understanding of the company’s future development. and confidence in management.
Promotion to institutional investors prior to offering securities on the primary market. It is an important promotion and publicity method to promote the successful issuance of stocks under the condition of full communication between investors and financing parties, and promotes communication and exchanges between investors and stock issuers, so as to ensure the smooth issuance of stocks and help improve the potential of stocks. the value of.
“New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Washington, Pittsburgh, Boston, Houston all have big pitches, ****, Wells Fargo, and Morgan Stanley are active as distributors,” Nancy Davis After thinking about it, he reminded again,
“Simon, in fact, everyone knows that you are one of the most important assets of the group, and you should actively participate in it.”
Simon waved his hand and said with a smile: “I will participate in some online activities. I will also participate in the important promotion conferences in New York later. You have to have confidence in Xinghai Entertainment;”
“Really speaking, I’m definitely no better than you elites in the financial industry. My role is to let everyone know the future dominance of Xinghai Entertainment in content production.”
Nancy Davis nodded, the confidence of the investment agency, Xinghai Entertainment has given it, the continuous box office bombs have made Universal Pictures’ income rise and fall.
“The current price range of the stock price is 45 to 63 US dollars per share, and the planned financing is 6.8 billion to 9.5 billion US dollars,” Nancy Davis said about the current general direction, of course, this is not the final decision, but also depends on this paragraph Time to decide the investment intention of each investor.
“Understood, I’m in New York anyway, I’m also there for something important,” Simon said and left the Xinghai Building.
Subsequently, the price of the subscription shares within Xinghai Entertainment also dropped. One share is 28 US dollars, which is determined according to the years of joining the company and the position, and the highest is 2 million shares.
Only people like Nina Jacobson are eligible to subscribe for 2 million shares. Like the ones from Universal Pictures who just joined, the highest is Donna Langley’s 800,000 shares. Horn only has 400,000 subscription rights but he has an equity incentive plan.
However, although they are rich, their employees are definitely not as good as Hollywood stars, and Simon is also very generous. Some of the female stars who followed him were given subscription rights of 1 million shares each by Simon. As for whether they can come up with $28 million to buy it, Simon doesn’t know.
Anyway, Anne Hathaway is sure to take it out, and the business-minded Sofia Villaga and Jessica Alba can probably get it together.
Not to mention rich people like Nicole Kidman, who can subscribe for 2 million shares as a token of appreciation.
At the same time, Simon also gave 20 subscription rights of 500,000 shares to some series of film actors and directors that Xinghai Entertainment cooperated with.
Then, a few days later, the interior of Xinghai Entertainment was full of joy, and the company went public to feed back its employees.
Of course, those who have funds will subscribe without hesitation, and those who have no funds are also trying to raise funds with their families.
Everyone knows the current momentum of Xinghai Entertainment. The total shares of Xinghai Entertainment are more than 1.3 billion shares, and each share is 28 US dollars, which is equivalent to Xinghai giving them shares at a market value of more than 36.5 billion US dollars.
As for the fact that Xinghai Entertainment has a market value of only 36.5 billion US dollars, even people who do not know much about finance will not believe it.
In Los Angeles, Nina Jacobson is indeed suffering. Although she has a share of 2 million shares, she cannot come up with $56 million in funds.
The shares could not be transferred, and Nina Jacobson managed to collect $40 million, and still mortgaged the property.
And Nicole Kidman happily signed a share contract, 56 million, she really did not have a lot of pressure.
“Simon, Xinghai Entertainment is finally waiting to be listed, 2 million shares, after all, I also have more than 0.15% of Xinghai Entertainment’s shares, and it is considered a minority shareholder,” Nicole Kidman specially called Simon. Telephone.
“Forget it, of course forget it, how to say Xinghai Entertainment has a credit for you, this is indelible,” Simon in New York was lying on the bed with Sarah Bradna in his arms.
Sarah Bradna didn’t have much money, and she didn’t have that much money to buy 1 million shares. Simon really couldn’t stand it, so he gave him 500,000 shares for half sale and half gift.
Sarah Bradna was grateful, and of course she had to thank Simon well. Taking the time when Simon answered the phone, she got under the quilt to thank Simon again.
