Chapter 322 Pre-IPO Video Conference

Just when the rumors were flying around, Yang Hao posted a pinned announcement in the company’s WeChat group, announcing that a video conference for all company employees would be held at 2 p.m. tomorrow.

Once this announcement was issued, it immediately aroused the imagination of all employees in the company.

Every employee of the company knows that Haori Film and Television Culture Media will have three major events at the end of the year. In addition to the release of the two movies "Detective Chinatown 2" and "War of the Witches", the company is about to go public through an IPO.

But since it is a video conference for all employees, the topic of the meeting can only be the company's IPO listing.

Now it is being rumored that the market value of Haori Film and Television Culture Media may reach 100 billion, which will be enough to rival the Big Six in Hollywood in the future.

You have to know that all departments of Yang Hao's company have only a few hundred employees.

Even if Yang Hao took out 1% of the shares to incentivize everyone, it would be worth almost billion, which would be a considerable amount for each person.

At this moment, Yu Li, Yang Zi, Meng Ziyi and others were all wondering in their hearts how many shares they would get.
The next day, at two o'clock in the afternoon, all employees in Beijing gathered in the company's conference room, and those who were not in Beijing also participated in the meeting via video.

"Haori Film and Television Culture Media was established just five years ago, and it has achieved such brilliant results today. This is inseparable from the hard work of everyone present. I would like to express my gratitude to everyone here." While speaking, Yang Hao bowed deeply.

After a brief opening statement, Yang Hao elaborated in detail in the video conference on the purpose of the company's listing, which was for the Honghuang Universe project and to create a legendary film and television company comparable to the six major Hollywood companies.

Although the Honghuang Universe project is widely circulated in the entertainment industry and many people have heard of it, not many people know the specific details. Even among the employees of Haori Film and Television Culture Media, most people only have a vague understanding of this project.

Originally they thought that this project was to shoot various movies around the theme of the ancient times.

After listening to Yang Hao's story, they realized that they had misunderstood. It turned out that the Honghuang Universe also involved many supporting projects such as real estate, cultural tourism, film and television bases, etc.

The investment is as high as tens of billions, this project is too big!

Such an unprecedented project made everyone present excited.

No wonder it has been rumored in the industry that Haori Film and Television Culture Media will be comparable to the Big Six in Hollywood in the future.

Now it seems to be true.

As long as the Honghuang Universe project can be successful, it will not be one of the Big Six in Hollywood, but the Chinese Disney.

The reason why Yang Hao held this video conference with such passion was certainly not only to inspire the enthusiasm of the company's employees, but also because the content of this video conference would be made public later.

Use the content of the video conference to paint a rosy picture for A-share investors, enhance their confidence in Haori Film and Television Culture Media, and thereby raise the company's stock price.

After talking about the company's strategic goals, Yang Hao changed the subject and continued, "You have chosen to grow with the company through all the ups and downs, so the company will not let you down. You deserve a share of the dividends from the company's listing."

Yang Hao's words made everyone present excited, and everyone realized that the highlight of today was about to begin.

"Each of you will be eligible to purchase a certain number of shares based on your years of service, position, and contribution to the company."

When they heard that it was just a purchase qualification, many people felt a little disappointed.

But soon, a table appeared on the video conference projection interface, which clearly marked the years of service for each position in the company and the number of shares that could be purchased.

For example, Yu Li's position as senior vice president allows her to purchase a base of 400,000 shares, which means 2 million shares in five years.

The company's contracted artists are also positioned at different levels according to their fame and status in the circle.

First-line artists like Yang Zi and Meng Ziyi, whose rank is equivalent to that of senior vice presidents, can also purchase two million shares if they have been employed for five years.

The most eye-catching thing in this table is the price per share.

Ten yuan, just ten yuan.

If Haori Film and Television Culture Media's market value can really reach 100 billion after it goes public, based on the 2 billion total shares, the price per share will be 50 yuan.

Compared with the current selling price of ten yuan, that is five times the profit.

Even if the market value does not reach 2.5 billion, but only half of it, the price per share would still be yuan, which is a full times profit.

No one would think that the market value of Haori Film and Television Culture Media would not reach 50 billion.

After all, Huayi, which is now on the decline, still has a market value of more than 30 billion.

A stock price of ten yuan is simply giving money to everyone.

As long as you buy it, you earn it.

And conservatively estimated, the profit is 2.5 times.

When Yu Li saw the form, she began to feel agitated.

According to what is stated on the form, I can buy two million shares. If the company can reach a market value of 100 billion yuan and the price per share is 50 yuan, wouldn't I be able to make a net profit of 80 million yuan?

Even if the market value of Haori Film and Television Culture Media does not reach 100 billion, I can at least earn 30 to 50 million.

Thirty to fifty million!

The number made her dizzy.

I am the senior vice president of Haori Film and Television Culture Media. My annual salary plus various benefits is about two to three million. I have indeed made a lot in the past few years.

But compared with thirty or fifty million, it is simply not worth mentioning.

At this moment, Yu Li was deeply moved, and she suddenly felt that Yang Hao was her father.

No, she felt that even her own father had never been so kind to her.

When Yang Zi saw the stock price was ten yuan, he was also disturbed by this wealth.

Although she is now a top star in the circle, her annual income from endorsements, film pay, announcements, etc. adds up to almost a small goal.

But she still has to share transaction tax and various behind-the-scenes team expenses with the company, so the actual income she can get is only about 40 to 50 million.

Haori Film and Television Culture Media went public and sold two million shares at a low price. This wealth was not a small number for her, and was almost equal to her annual net income.

The saying that money can move people's hearts is not just a joke.

Meng Ziyi, Liu Haoran and other people who participated in the video conference were not calm at this moment. They were all disturbed by this unprecedented wealth.

Yang Hao stopped his speech at this moment, giving everyone some time to calm down.

The meeting room fell into a brief chaos, with everyone talking about the ten-yuan low-priced stocks.

Some people are considering how many shares to buy, while others are worrying about how to raise the money to purchase the shares.

Some people thought this was an opportunity to make a fortune, and even discussed with their colleagues to offer 15 or 18 yuan to buy the other party's shares.

Of course, some people may not have enough confidence in the company, thinking that the market value of 100 billion is too exaggerated, and dare not buy. …

The video conference lasted for three hours and ended with applause from the crowd.

The four girls, Da Mimi, Da Tiantian, Liu Shishi and Zhao Liying, gathered around Yang Hao.

"Yang Hao, there are about 300 people in Haori Film and Television Culture Media."

"The top eight or nine people can buy two million shares, and even the lowest-level cleaning lady can buy a few thousand shares."

"I just calculated that if these people bought out all their shares, you probably sold more than 30 million shares at a low price."

"If the market value can really reach 100 billion, these more than 30 million shares are equivalent to giving away nearly 1 billion in wealth."

Seeing that Yang Hao gave away so much money in a video conference, Da Mimi felt a little distressed, because this was all the money for the milk powder of the baby in her belly.

"Little money-grubber, are you feeling sorry for her?" Yang Hao stretched out his hand and took the pregnant Da Mimi into his arms, placed her on his lap, and stretched out his right hand to gently stroke her belly.

One billion is really not a small number.

Da Mimi, Liu Shishi, and Zhao Liying are fine. They all followed me to open film and television companies. As long as the companies go public, their net worth will start at 10 billion.

But Da Tiantian is different.

Her popularity is much lower than the other three, and she did not start a company with Yang Hao.

Despite his extraordinary background and powerful connections, his net worth is indeed not high.

Not to mention 1 billion, even 100 million is not a small number for Da Tiantian.

Yang Hao thought for a moment, then said, "Mimi, Tiantian, Shishi, Liying, how about I give you some shares, and you can also have a sip of soup?"

"Shares? How many?" Da Mimi said with a little excitement in her eyes.

When Da Tiantian, Liu Shishi and Zhao Liying heard Yang Hao's words, they also looked at Yang Hao, wanting to hear how Yang Hao would answer next.

"Well, then 20 million shares per person."

It was too little to give away, so after much deliberation, Yang Hao decided to give 20 million shares to the woman who had given birth to a child.

If the market value of Haori Film and Television Culture Media can really reach 100 billion, 20 million shares would mean a market value of 10 billion, which is not a small number of shares.

Taking stocks worth 10 billion directly from Yang Hao would make the relationship between them impure. Just now, when Yang Hao said he would give them shares, the girls instinctively wanted to refuse.

But at this moment, Da Tiantian was the first to respond.

"Okay, I'll take this share for the baby in my belly. When the child is born, I will register the 20 million shares in the child's name."

Da Tiantian's action made the girls' eyes light up.

It is undoubtedly a good idea to register the shares under the name of the child.

"Then I will also register the shares under the child's name, and it will be considered as the money you give to the child for milk powder." Da Mimi, Liu Shishi, and Zhao Liying also said.

With Yang Hao's deliberate arrangement and with the help of securities companies such as Goldman Sachs and CITIC, the content of the video conference soon became known to everyone.

Yang Hao is the traffic code, and he has too many fans following him.

The content of this video conference quickly became popular on Douyin and Weibo.

"Yang Hao's company is about to go public, and internal employees can buy shares of Haori Film and Television Culture Media at a low price."

“Once Haori Film and Television Culture Media goes public, dozens of multimillionaires may be created.”

……

When netizens learned that employees of Yang Hao's company could actually purchase shares of Haori Film and Television Culture Media at a low price, even the cleaning lady could purchase 3,000 shares.

Many netizens were jealous and left comments on Yang Hao’s Weibo and Douyin short videos.

"A cleaning lady can sell 3,000 shares and make nearly 100,000 yuan, which is equivalent to my annual salary. I admit that I am jealous. Brother Hao, does your company still need cleaners?"

"Brother Hao, is it too late to join your company now? I beg you to take me in. I will take care of the women's restroom in your company and ensure that it is clean."

"I don't envy the mandarin ducks or the immortals, I envy the cleaning staff every day."

In China, the stock price-to-earnings ratio is mainly divided into four ranges: a price-to-earnings ratio of 0-13 is undervalued, a price-to-earnings ratio of 14-20 is normal and reasonable, a price-to-earnings ratio of 21-28 is overvalued, and a price-to-earnings ratio greater than 28 is a bubble.

The company's P/E ratio is affected by many factors, including industry factors, company profitability, market sentiment, financial status, market interest rates, etc.

There is no doubt about the profitability of Yang Hao's company, and it is definitely the No. 1 private film and television company in China.

The company now has more than 10 billion RMB in its account, and its cash flow is incredibly abundant.

And through the publicity of this video conference, everyone knew that Haori Film and Television Culture Media was about to go public, and the market sentiment was fully mobilized.

Many investors are eagerly waiting for the listing of Haori Film and Television Culture Media.

With almost all the advantages of time, place and people present, securities companies such as Goldman Sachs and CITIC are very confident that they can increase the price-to-earnings ratio of Yang Hao's company to over 20.

Yang Hao's company's net profit last year was close to 40 billion. If the price-to-earnings ratio is 20 times, the market value will reach 800 billion RMB. If it reaches 25 times, the market value will exceed billion.

"Mr. Yang, the listing approval for Haori Film and Television Culture Media has been obtained." Just when Yang Hao was accompanying several girls to wait for the birth of their babies, Li Ci, president of Goldman Sachs China, called.

"Really? That's great." Yang Hao was very excited when he heard that the company's listing application was approved.

"Mr. Yang, it's like this. The listing approval period is only six months. Can you tell me when the company will be listed?"

"Let's set it on Christmas Day. It just so happens that the movie 'Warcraft' will be released at that time. This movie will be a big hit, which should be very beneficial to the company's stock price." Yang Hao gave his answer after a moment's thought.

"Boss Yang, it seems that you are very optimistic about the movie "War of the Liches". If so, let's schedule it for this day."

Li Ci still had some concerns in his mind. Setting the company's listing date to the release of "Warcraft" would certainly help increase the market value by relying on the hot sales of the movie.

But if the movie doesn't do well at the box office, it will be a fatal blow to the company's stock price.

If Li Ci's idea is followed, it would be better to set the target date before the release of "Warcraft" and raise the stock price by relying on investors' expectations for the movie's box office.

This operation does not involve any risk. Even if the movie does not perform well at the box office, it will have no impact on their organization because they have already sold the products at a high price.

But Yang Hao said that it should be held on Christmas Day, and Li Ci did not object.

She chose to believe in Yang Hao, believe in his past undefeated record, and believe that "War of the Liches" would still create a box office miracle.

As long as the movie is a real hit and is released on Christmas Day, the share price of Haori Film and Television Culture Media will definitely be pulled higher, and even the price-to-earnings ratio will exceed 30.

Although this operation is a bit of a gamble, how can a securities company not dare to gamble? (End of this chapter)
