China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 487 485. Huayi goes public, Mr. Cao comes to ruin things

Hangcheng.

"This Cao Yu is really not doing his job properly. He actually invested in a lunatic. He really has too much money and nowhere to spend it."

Ma Yun read the news in the newspaper about Cao Yu's investment in building a factory, and her recent bad mood seemed to have cleared up a lot.

In his eyes, a maniac had launched several rockets in the past few years and all of them exploded. The company was almost bankrupt and had been losing money. What was the future of investing in such a company?

"That's fine. If you go to build new energy vehicles, you definitely won't have the energy to build a website or the entertainment industry."

Thinking of this, Ma Yun smiled happily and said: "Cao Cao, you want to put your eggs in different baskets? It's a pity that the basket you chose is broken."

However, Cao Yu’s approach also gave some inspiration: “In addition to Huayi, I should find a more solid basket, cooperate with people with certain influence in the entertainment industry, and start Ali Pictures as soon as possible. .”

It is difficult to make games for the time being, and Taobao is suppressed by Jingdong and cannot turn around. Ma Yun still wants to find a breakthrough in the entertainment industry, follow Cao Yu's approach, and set up a film and television company, and then combine it with Tudou Video, so as to master the traffic password.

Yanjing.

"Is this guy Cao Yu planning to quit the entertainment industry? Why did he start an industry? Are you still building cars?"

"I still say the same thing, games will only make people lose their morale. Games cannot save China, but will harm the next generation."

"Anyway, he has money. When Fei'e Video goes on the market, the money will probably be nothing to him. It just depends on whether he will fall into it."

Everyone knows that in the Internet circle, Penguin and Ahri have always been the Internet giants, and it is no secret that the two families have been fighting openly and secretly.

Mainly, he also realized that the reporter was probably trying to cause trouble. How could he be fooled?

"Then what price do you predict Huayi's stock will close at today?"

"Mr. Ma, you said before that you want to create a business model of Internet + entertainment + finance. Now in the entertainment industry, you are already a shareholder of Huayi. Will you make games like Penguin in the future?"

From then on, the entertainment industry will officially enter capitalization.

But today is the big day for the company to go public, and these people are all gathered together at this time.

Although Huayi went public, Lu Huateng and Ma Yun were questioned by many reporters at this time.

Wang Zhonglei laughed and said, "Let him do it. Nowadays, the cars on the road are either gasoline cars or gas cars. Only fools drive electric cars? Can that thing run a long distance? He will probably lose this business."

Penguin games are quite popular recently.

After Ma Yun finished speaking, she said, "I'm sorry, I have something else to do."

"I think the closing price is at least 50 yuan."

"Do you always want to go to Australia?"

…………

Wang Zhongjun breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, we have waited for the day of listing."

The LOL competition is booming, so it’s hard for Ma Yun to say that this competition is not good. After all, this is a matter of bringing glory to the country.

The newly launched "Angry Birds" has been promoted abroad by various platforms, and foreigners also love to play it.

In addition, many entertainment company bosses who also want to go public came to support and learn.

Although Ma Yun was already interested in the game, he still couldn't go back on his promise, mainly because there was Lu Huateng beside him. When he said this, his eyes were fixed on the boss of the goose factory.

Therefore, reporters all want to know whether Ahri can play games and whether he can steal the cake from the Goose Factory.

"Today is the time for Huayi to go public. Can we ask some questions about this?"

"Huayi is the first entertainment company to go public, and its new movies have done well at the box office. I think the market should have confidence in it."

The reporter also noticed the boss's tendency to scold him and continued to cause trouble.

Wang Zhongjun scolded his younger brother, and then said: "I recently talked with Pants. After we go public, we will immediately prepare the "If You Are the One 2" project. I don't know how much our stock will open in the next two days."

Wang Zhonglei also glanced into the distance. Now there are only two days left before the company goes public. This is a great day!

After the listing, it will be Bazaar Charity Night. Who dares to look down on me then?

The time has come to revitalize the Beijing area!

"Our "The Wind" box office is now close to 500 million. Based on this performance, the stock price will definitely not be low."

"Mr. Ma, what do you think of the LoL Global Competition? This is a world-class competition."

But among these people, the only one missing is Cao Yucao, the boss who owns 3% of Huayi shares and is now the most influential person in the entertainment industry.

"I hope so."

Now that they jointly own shares in an entertainment company, if they don't make trouble now, when will they make trouble?

October 09, , is a day that can be recorded in the history of the Chinese entertainment industry.

"Yeah, you don't have to worry about money anymore!"

Wang Zhonglei also said: "His Fei'e Video will be listed next year. If we want to make him notorious, the stock price will definitely plummet. Han Bang's SM Entertainment is a precedent. At that time, he suffered heavy losses, and our opportunity came."

He ignored the many reporters and walked towards Gu Yongqiang, who was not far away, wanting to find out about Youku's listing plan.

Shenzhen Stock Exchange.

Tesla's investment in building a factory is considered a big deal in China, and Wang Zhongjun has naturally read relevant reports.

Because the first entertainment company in the Mainland is finally going public!

Wang Zhongjun is also not optimistic about the development of electric vehicles, and hopes that Cao Yu will enter a bottomless quagmire.

"Is there any basis for this?"

Other games such as "World of Warcraft", LOL, "Blade and Soul" and other games also have many players, making Goose Factory the strongest gaming company in China.

In Huayi, Wang Zhongjun holds 32%, Lu Huateng 20%, Wang Zhonglei 11%, Ma Yun 10%, Feng Xiaogang 2.2%, Huang Jiaozhu 1.4%, and the remaining artists including Li Shuangbing, Zhang Hanyu, etc. Less than 1%.

When Lu Huateng faced reporters, his answer was completely different from Ma Yun.

"Games are actually an industry. As long as you pay attention to guidance, they can also drive economic development."

On the other side, several reporters were also interviewing Wang Zhongjun.

"Mr. Wang, Huayi is the first entertainment company to go public. What are your plans?"

"Produce more and better film and television works to reward shareholders."

"Mr. Wang, today is a big day for Huayi, but why don't we see Mr. Cao from Feiyu today? I heard that he is also one of Huayi's shareholders."

"."

Wang Zhongjun wanted to get angry when he was asked. He really didn't pick up the pot, and he was causing trouble, right?

He had invited Cao Yu before, but Boss Cao refused him directly because he was too busy.

However, he also knew that reporters liked to gossip, so he endured his displeasure and said, "Mr. Cao is busy building cars. Tomorrow night is Bazaar Charity Night and you should see him."

"I see. Then tomorrow night's Bazaar Charity Night, will Mr. Wang attend?"

"Will."

"Thank you. I hope Huayi's stock price will rise."

After an interview, at 9:30, with the sound of a gong, Huayi finally went public.

The issue price of Huayi's shares is 28.58 yuan. If the opening price can exceed yuan, then Wang Zhongjun's worth will also exceed billion.

Sure enough, with the support of "The Wind", Huayi's stock price continued to rise after the market opened.

"Brother, we have money. Finally, we no longer have to worry about money."

Wang Zhonglei looked at the constantly beating numbers and felt so beautiful in his heart.

"Um"

Wang Zhongjun was also a little excited. After looking forward to it for two years, he finally saw hope.

With money, like Boss Cao, you can enter Hollywood, make blockbusters, and make money.

"Haha, the more it goes up, the more you make."

Lu Huateng also looked at the numbers and felt equally happy. Penguin holds 20% of Huayi's shares. As long as he reduces his holdings and cashes out in the future, the profits will definitely be considerable.

Finally, when the market opened in the afternoon, Huayi's stock had risen to more than 70 yuan per share.

"70, Huayi's market value is almost billion, right?"

Wang Zhonglei couldn't believe it. There were so many benefits to going public. Mr. Ma asked him to work hard to go public back then. He really didn't lie.

Feng Xiaogang and the others are also very excited. According to this stock price, although they only have a few percent of the shares, they are worth more than 100 million, which is much more profitable than making movies.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the hall.

"What happened?" While everyone was curious, a reporter suddenly said: "Feiyu's Mr. Cao is here."

"Cao Yu is here? Didn't he say he couldn't come before?"

Wang Zhongjun was curious when he saw Cao Yu walking into the trading hall with a smile on his face.

The reporters who originally wanted to interview the Wang brothers all gathered around and left Wang Zhongjun and others aside.

"Today is Huayi's IPO! Why are you interviewing him?"

Wang Zhonglei couldn't help but scold these reporters for being snobbish, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Reporter: "Mr. Cao, Huayi has gone public. Are you planning to have Feiyu Entertainment go public when you come here today?"

Cao Yu: "We at Feiyu Entertainment have never planned to go public, and we don't need to go public."

Wang brothers and Ma Yun: "What a pretense!"

Reporter: "There are many entertainment company bosses here today, and they are very optimistic about the listing of entertainment companies. If everyone goes public in the future, will Mr. Cao insist not to go public?"

As soon as the reporter said this, almost everyone present looked over.

Feiyu Entertainment is now a behemoth in the entertainment industry, and Boss Cao's decision may affect the future direction of the entertainment industry.

Cao Yu glanced at the heads turning around him, and it was easy to find Mr. Ma, the most outstanding-looking person in the crowd.

"As a man, you have to keep your word, every spit and nail. We at Feiyu will never go public if we say we won't go public. Just like Mr. Ma of Ali, if we say we won't make games, we will never make games."

"Wonima..."

Ma Yun was named inexplicably, and she was numb on the spot.

Cao Yu, what on earth are you going to do? You can just talk about your own affairs, why do you need to mention me?

Do I still have to thank you...

Lu Huateng in the crowd could hardly hold it in anymore, but fortunately he was a professional.

Brother, you are so awesome. With these words, we will have one less competitor in the future.

Mr. Ma, do you dare to go back on your word and lose your face?

The interview continues.

Reporter: "Mr. Cao is really courageous. Don't you look down on the money from going public?"

Cao Yu: "I am worried that after the listing, with the intervention of capital, entertainment companies will lose their original intention in creation."

Wang brothers and Ma Yun: "Ah tui!"

Reporter: "Mr. Cao, our Chinese film industry has always been inferior to Europe and the United States in terms of investment. Only when we have money after going public will more good films come out. Why do you say you have lost your original intention?"

Cao Yu: "Money has little to do with good films. If capital intervenes, they may only think about how to make quick money and recover costs early, which will lead to more shoddy films."

Reporter: “Are you opposed to capital’s involvement in the entertainment industry?”

Cao Yu: "That's not true. I'm here today just to tell the bosses of entertainment companies who want to go public that good works are the foundation for development. Without good works, the market value will be empty."

Wang brothers and Ma Yun: "Are you here to cause trouble?"

Since Cao Yu appeared, almost no movies produced by Huayi have made any money except "The Wind" which is currently in theaters.

The Wang brothers felt that Cao Yu was pointing at their noses and swearing.

Reporter: "I heard that you also own 3% of Huayi's shares. Now that Huayi's stock price is so high, your assets have increased a lot. What do you think of this?"

Cao Yu: "I have decided to donate all 3% of my Huayi shares to the Han Hong Charity Foundation!"

"???"

At this time, the whole audience was shocked.

Even Ma Yun looked at Cao Yu. Is what this guy said true?

3%. With the current stock price, that’s more than million. Do you really donate?

"is this real?"

It took a while for the reporter to recover from the shock.

Cao Yu glanced at Ma Yun and said with a smile: "Of course, I don't love money and I don't care about money."

"???"

Ma Yun stared at Cao Yu, feeling very unhappy. Is this guy here to show off? You might as well not come.

Even everyone present was speechless. You don’t love money? He will soon be the richest man in China. Will he not love money?

When everyone thought Cao Yu was faking, he calmly walked towards Wang Zhongjun after answering the reporter's questions.

"Mr. Wang, congratulations."

"Thank you."

Wang Zhongjun didn't know if Boss Cao sincerely congratulated him. If it was true, would the two parties want to reconcile?

But Cao Yu's next words made Wang Zhongjun immediately give up the idea.

"Mr. Wang, after IPO, I hope that Huayi will produce more excellent films like our Feiyu, and we must be worthy of the investors who support you."

"."

If you say such things again, believe it or not, I will beat you.

The Wang brothers did not take action, everyone was just a part of the scene.

But it didn't take long for him to regret it and felt that he should really beat up this guy Cao Yu.

Just when Cao Zei did not plan to go public and was not optimistic about going public, the stock price, which was originally more than 70 yuan, quickly dropped to 53.2 yuan, and finally dropped to 48.69 yuan at the closing price.

"Holy crap, in just half a day, my worth has shrunk by several hundred million?"

Brothers Wang Zhonglei, Feng Xiaogang, and Ma Yun were so angry that they wanted to scold their mothers.

"This guy deserves to be struck by lightning!"

Ma Yun's face was a little painful at this time, because his prediction of closing at fifty yuan was shattered by a few words from Boss Cao.

"Brother Cao, you are so bad."

In a private room of a hotel, Lu Huateng couldn't help but laugh when he thought of what happened today.

Cao Yu also smiled and said: "Brother Lu, I'm sorry, I made you earn hundreds of millions less."

"It's okay. Seeing Lao Ma's face that wants to hit someone, it's worth hundreds of millions."

Lu Huateng really didn't care about the money. The main thing was that he was really happy today, which was more fun than going to the theater.

Then he smiled again and said: "However, I didn't expect that your influence in the entertainment industry would be so great, and Huayi would fall so much with just a few words."

"It may still go up. When you can trade, you can cash out at a high level. It's best not to hold it in your hands all the time."

"why?"

"As I said before, even if an entertainment company goes public, if there are no good works, the stock price cannot be maintained."

Cao Yu knew very well that within a few years of Huayi's listing, the stock price fell directly below the issue price from more than 100 when it was the highest because there were no good works.

"I see."

Lu Huateng nodded, drank a glass of wine, and asked, "I heard that you invested in a new energy vehicle company some time ago. What do you think about this?"

Naturally, Cao Yu cannot say how good Tesla is now: "I think new energy vehicles are the future development trend. In fact, I am also betting."

"Brother, don't blame the big brother for pouring cold water on you. Now that Fei'e Video and Entertainment are developing so well, why do they want to develop cars? That Musk almost went bankrupt last year. He is a big liar."

Lu Huateng was actually not very optimistic about Cao Yu's investment.

At this time, Yang Shuxue, who came with her, interrupted: "Xiao Cao, Mr. Ma said this, will this project really take off?"

"It all depends on man-made things, leave it to fate, haha."

Cao Yu couldn't explain much, so he changed the topic: "Brother Lu, are you interested in going to see the Bazaar Charity Night tomorrow?"

"What catches your eyes?"

"There are beautiful women dancing."

"Go, you must go!"

Hearing these two grown men talking happily about beauties, Yang Shuxue shook her head helplessly: "Men, no matter how rich they are, their hobbies will not change."
