Chapter seven hundred and ninety-two ready to go public
Of course, Liu Lang didn't just ask Tom Hanks to dub him, he was preparing for next year's Tang movie, and he wanted to earn Lucas the Oscar for Best Director for fun.
This year Santang has released two movies, and one is Quentin Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs." In a previous life, this movie was shot before "Pulp Fiction," but in this life it's completely the opposite.
Come here, because the script of "Pulp Fiction" was written by Liu Lang several years in advance, Quentin Tarantino was at the top of his game at the beginning, and he suddenly became a new director in Hollywood.
This "Reservoir Dogs" also achieved good box office results in its previous life, but compared with "Pulp Fiction" it is still far behind. In addition, Quentin is already famous, I am afraid that the results of this movie will not be too ideal.
, it is not a loss, but it is unlikely to break through 100 million like "Pulp Fiction". Liu Lang has no intention of stopping Quentin. In his opinion, maybe it is a good thing to let Shengtang Company suffer a little setback while he is away. At the same time,
He also told them that Shengtang Company would not be able to function without him.
Next year, he will probably have a lot of time to "return" to Saint Tang, and at the same time bring the script of "Forrest Gump". Then it will be the time for Tom Hanks to show off his talents.
Of course, these were Liu Lang's plans and he didn't tell anyone.
One month after "Toy Story" was released, the box office finally exceeded 200 million U.S. dollars. The last movie to exceed 200 million U.S. dollars in one month was Lucas's first "Star Wars", which was eleven years ago. In other words,
"Toy Story" became the highest-grossing first-month movie in 11 years, and also opened overseas
When it was first released, many consulting agencies believed that this movie could earn a total box office of nearly 600 million in 1988, which was even higher than the 500 million expected by Liu Lang. There was no way, Liu Lang could not have predicted this movie.
In this era, it will cause such a huge sensation, and the era of computer special effects has arrived ahead of schedule.
With the box office of "Toy Story" reaching 200 million, Shengtang Company also launched its IPO plan.
Before a company goes public, it generally conducts a road show, which refers to a stock promotion report activity held by stock issuers and underwriters to investors.
The purpose is to allow in-depth communication and exchange between investors and stock issuers to ensure the smooth issuance of stocks. Otherwise, it may cause an embarrassing situation where no one buys a stock on the market.
The so-called communication and exchange means that the issuer goes to various stock exchanges to talk face-to-face with stock traders and buyers who have the strength to buy in large quantities, so that the other party can understand what kind of stock it is, and at the same time let the other party understand that it is a stock company.
Capable team.
But Shengtang Company doesn't need to do this at all, because Shengtang's reputation has spread all over the United States, and if you look at the company's financial situation, you can see that there are no loans, no debts, everything is profits.
The first thing to evaluate a company is its products, and also the prediction of the company's future. Not to mention the products, every product of Shengtang is now very popular, which is why traders give it four evaluations.
100 million reasons, but at that time Sentang still lacked a future product because it was still very young. What will happen in two years? What will happen in three years? It’s hard to say, unlike Paramount and MGM.
The company has a deep foundation with decades of history, which cannot be compared with Shengtang.
But after the release of "Toy Story", this disadvantage disappeared. People developed that Industrial Light and Magic, who used to play with models, switched to computer special effects and made the first feature-length movie made entirely of computer special effects.
Played to be the best in the world.
What is Industrial Light and Magic? This is a fixed asset! It is also the best quality asset. Guarding this treasure, the future of Shengtang Company is bright.
Many investors even believe that Shengtang Company is not just an entertainment company, but a high-tech company. This has suddenly reached a higher level, and the company's valuation has also been rising steadily.
"Mr. Liu, now Nasdaq has given the latest listing valuation of Shengtang Company, which is US$560 million. We will distribute 30 million shares, and the price per share is eight US dollars and twenty cents!
"
Lin Zequan's sister Lin Liwan reports to Liu Lang, Lucas, Mu Xiaohu and other Shengtang senior executives. The Lin family is also famous as the underwriter of Shengtang's listing. The Lin family's business has developed rapidly, and the number of employees has increased to more than 30 people.
, you must know that there were only three of them when Liu Lang first arrived in the United States two years ago. Later, they became partners of the NBA after being introduced by Liu Lang. Now they have become a well-known law firm in Hollywood, responsible for the business of many stars and celebrities.
"Fifty-six hundred million dollars? God!"
Even Lucas felt it was a bit unreal. This valuation has exceeded the Disney Company's 200 million U.S. dollars, and is almost catching up with MGM. In other words, if this valuation is listed, Santo will immediately become the United States' No. 1 company.
Nine major entertainment companies, ranked among the top ten.
"George, this is just a valuation. With Shengtang's reputation, once the stock is listed, it will be snapped up immediately, and there will be a substantial increase. Maybe it will exceed 700 million U.S. dollars at the opening of the market."
Lin Liwan smiled and said.
"Seven billion!"
Lucas swallowed, these numbers were becoming increasingly unreal.
If this is the case, then all the employees of Shengtang Company will really make crazy money.
In addition to the four original shareholders of Shengtang Company, Liu Lang, Mu Xiaohu, Lucas and Lin Guodong, who hold 32% of the shares, all employees who started the company also hold 20% of the shares. Even in China
Several employees including Lu Chunzhong also gave 0.3% of the shares.
The minimum number of employees is 0.1%. Don’t underestimate this 0.1%. If calculated based on 700 million, it is also 700,000 US dollars. The two who have the most are Chengxian and Catmull, who have the most.
One percent of the shares, that's $7 million.
Based on this calculation, once Shengtang Company is listed, most of the more than 130 employees will become millionaires. Of course, it has been stated in the equity allocation description that their shares cannot directly face the primary market.
, it can only be sold to the four original shareholders of Liu Langfeng. This is to prevent Shengtang Company from being taken over by others maliciously.
But even if they can't turn it into cash, they still pay a lot of dividends every year. Based on Shengtang's profit margin of hundreds of millions of dollars this year, it's at least nearly two to three hundred thousand dollars.
"Are the tickers all ready?"
Liu Lang asked.
"Already applied!"
Lin Liwan replied.
Each stock has a special code. The code of Shengtang Company is "tang", which is the pinyin of Tang.
"Mr. Liu, I think we should have a road show to let those people appreciate your style, Mr. Liu!"
Lin Liwan smiled.
"What kind of charm do I have? I'm just a kid... But okay, let's go to the Nasdaq exchange to meet investors. By the way, how about cooperating with Marvel?
