Chapter 785: Pre-IPO Quarrels
Looking at the company's executives in the conference room, Li Mo really felt tired.
Don't get me wrong, there is no tearing or infighting among these people, they are just calmly discussing the future development direction of the company......
Well, I admit it's a bit shameful to use the word 'peaceful'.
According to the usual habits of the public, today's meeting can only be described as a fierce confrontation.
There are two points of contention.
When will "Living Together in Time and Space" be launched......
…… and the listing and financing of Molong Media.
Indeed, the distance between these two 'foci' is indeed a bit large.
However, since these two things have been put together, Li Mo can only sit there honestly as a referee.
In other words, Li Mo has been feeling more and more like a leader recently......
Don't get me wrong, this feeling is really not that Li Mo's identity has changed and he has floated, but because the organizational structure of Molong Media has changed.
Now Molong Media, artist agency, producer, cinema, outreach, financial ...... Several major modules have their own division of labor, but in the end, they are still responsible to Li Mo, the president, so although this voter can still get along peacefully most of the time, but when there is a conflict between each other's interests or resource transfer, because the authority and position of several people are about the same, Li Mo is needed to come forward at this time.
For example, today, several people originally planned to study the launch time of "Living Together in Time and Space", but in a few words, the topic has already shifted to the issue of the financing ratio when the company goes public......
"Although the current market feedback is good, I still think that there is nothing wrong with being careful," Zong Shuai is a representative of the conservative faction, and his words are the same as his people, focusing on stability, "If 62 million shares are publicly raised, from the current point of view, it should not have much impact on the company's equity distribution." ”
According to the original plan, Molong Media will release about 15% of the equity in this financing, at a price of about 40 yuan per share, raising a total of about 2.5 billion yuan, which will be mainly used for the expansion of theaters and follow-up investment in TV dramas, as well as preparatory start-up funds for films......
“…… Zong, I think your plan is fundamentally fine, but you seem to have overlooked a key point. ”
Unexpectedly, the first person to stand up against Zong Shuai was his pillow man Zhong Lifang.
The main reason why these two are not married now is that Zong Shuai has not completed all the handover procedures with Ye Ning.
In order to avoid suspicion, we can only maintain the current state for the first time.
Of course, everyone here today knows their relationship well, so when Zhong Lifang stood up to express his opposition, everyone also looked like they were watching a good show.
“…… Please elaborate on Mr. Chung. ”
Zong Shuai naturally knew that several colleagues around him were watching a good show, but now, he could only bite the bullet and try to make a businesslike expression.
"First of all, please take a look at the report made by an internationally renowned independent investigation agency commissioned by our Ministry of Finance," Zhong Lifang took out a few pieces of paper from the folder and distributed them to everyone's hands, "According to the latest market survey results, after Mr. Li's "Book of Swords and Enmity" movie went offline, major investment institutions are extremely optimistic about the future development potential of our company, and the current valuation of our company is close to 20 billion yuan......
"Two tens of billion?!"
Hearing this number, even Zong Shuai was taken aback.
Although there are factors such as inflation, when the two companies Wang Group and Guanglu Media were listed, the combined valuation was only slightly higher than this figure.
If everyone only had a general impression and feeling of the valuation of their own company before, then the report taken out by Zhong Lifang concretized everyone's impression and feeling......
"Isn't this wrong?"
As soon as the voice of doubt came out, it was strangled to death by its owner.
At this time, there is no point in inflating the company's valuation.
The higher the valuation, the higher the price will naturally be when the time comes to spend money on it......
Looking at the topic that seemed to be starting to deviate again, Li Mo felt that he really had to come out and say something.
Otherwise, it would have been possible to go all the way to the South Pole today.
"Everyone, everyone is a person who has shares in the company, that is, no matter whether the company is listed or not, everyone is now a person in the same boat, I am very clear about everyone's demands, and the company will fully consider it, but whether the company is listed in the future or not, what we have to do now is to do a good job in the company's foothold, that is, the film business!"
"First determine the matter of "Living Together in Time and Space", the relevant details of the listing, and the heads of various departments will stay to study in detail!!"
…………
It is said that after a period of bad compensation, Li Mo finally has a certain degree of understanding of the company's listing.
Of course, in the process, he also found that he seemed to have made a lot of mistakes in the past.
For example, Li Mo has always thought that only companies that lack money or insufficient funds will raise funds through listing, and companies that are not short of money will naturally have nothing to do with listing......
Actually, this is a wrong idea.
The most basic reason why a company wants to go public is that they need more money to help the company grow.
In this era, it is no longer the time to raise self-financing to fight the world.
Economic globalization is not only about manufacturing and other physical industries, but also in the financial sector.
Spending other people's money and doing your own thing, this kind of behavior is not only applicable in the Celestial Empire, even if you look at the whole world, this model is not the slightest problem.
Moreover, whether a company is listed or not is very beneficial to the company's image promotion, the improvement of corporate visibility, and even the expansion of the company's influence.
In the same way, if you are looking for a bank to borrow, the treatment of listed and non-listed companies is absolutely different......
Of course, some people may cite the example of X to refute it......
But then again, how many companies in this world can do X as good as X, even if they are not listed, they can still execute the degree of the industry?
In addition to the improvement of corporate reputation, the benefits of listed companies in attracting and retaining talent are also obvious.
In a very obvious comparison, before Molong Media held a financing promotion meeting, although the company was still favored by many people in the industry, many people in the industry were still skeptical about the company's future development direction......
There is no way, even with the assistance of Zong Shuai and others, Li Mo's age is indeed too young.
Most of the company's equity is in his hands, in case he accidentally smokes and makes a mistake in the company's development direction, those who join the company in order to seek better development will not become unlucky people on the thief ship?
And if Molong Media is listed, it will be completely two situations.
At that time, even if Li Mo wants to make a mistake, won't so many shareholders who hold shares sit there and eat rice, even if they write a blood letter, they can pull the company back from the edge of mistakes, right?
It's just that Li Mo will be a little unhappy in his heart.
After all, some of the companies you founded will be owned by others in the future......
