Chapter 288 Global Online Listing
Without the intervention of the Japanese government, Galaxy Pictures' acquisition of Toho Co., Ltd. proceeded very quickly, and after two weeks, it finally completed the acquisition plan for $2.75 billion. After that, Toho Co., Ltd. changed its name to Galaxy Toho Co., Ltd. and began adapting "Pokemon" to produce "Pokémon" anime!
The acquisition of Ghibli Animation Studio was even earlier, after Hank Alli left Ghibli Studio, Miyazaki discussed it with the other two founders, Isao Takada and Toshio Suzuki. Faced with the tempting conditions offered by Galaxy Films, all three thought it was feasible.
Studio Ghibli's animated films are classics, but they don't do much at the box office due to distribution restrictions. 120 million US dollars is a huge amount of money for them, and it is strange that Miyazaki is not tempted. Not only that, but if Studio Ghibli Animation is acquired by Galaxy Pictures, the animated films produced in the future will be released worldwide, which is a world away from before!
Three days later, Hank Arley returned to Studio Ghibli and the two sides quickly reached an agreement.
Galaxy Pictures raised $120 million in Ghibli Animation Studios, a 70% stake. Ghibli Animation Studios will be officially merged into Galaxy Pictures and become an independent animation studio like Pixar, and the parent company will not interfere in the management and development of the studio under normal circumstances!
Bobby Robin returned to the United States soon after completing the acquisition.
A few days later, James Cameron came to the door.
"Mr. Robin, I heard that Henry Williams wrote a script for a disaster movie about the Titanic?"
"Yes, Director Cameron. Bobby Robin smiled, walked to the wine cellar and took out a bottle of red wine and poured himself and Cameron a glass each. He asked, as he passed the glass. "What? Are you interested in making this movie?"
Cameron took the wine glass, thanked him, and then nodded: "Yes, that's right!"
"Haha, that's a coincidence, Mr. Williams once asked you to shoot this movie!" Bobby Robin laughed, "The film will invest more than $200 million, and simulate the creation of a real Titanic, even many of the accessories inside will be the same!"
James Cameron heard this. His eyes are lit up, he likes to shoot like this, although it burns money, but the effect is the best!
"Mr. Robin, in that case, let's hurry up and get ready for this movie!" Cameron drank a little wine, his face flushing with excitement.
"No problem, Director Cameron! We will set up a project and set up a crew immediately!"
"Hmm. That's great!"
The next day, Galaxy Pictures announced plans for the first film in 1994.
"Galaxy Films' first film "Titanic" in 1994 was established, directed by James Cameron, with an investment of at least $200 million!"
As soon as the news came out. A global sensation.
$200 million to shoot a movie, super generous, jaw-dropping!
Time. "Titanic" has become the focus of heated discussions.
News about Titanic, almost everywhere!
"Produced by Galaxy. It must be a classic!" has become a mantra for fans, specially used to describe the movies that Galaxy Pictures has invested in and filmed. Almost all classics!
This investment is huge, and it must be creating a classic movie again!
Thinking of 1993, Galaxy Film Company dominated the top four global box office, and everyone couldn't help but be full of infinite expectations for "Titanic"!
Now, most movie stars in Hollywood are actively campaigning for an audition opportunity. For those actors who participated in the audition, there was basically no hope. Because after Henry learned that he was going to shoot "Titanic", he directly named Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet to star!
The classics are eternal, and Henry likes the two of them to act.
“You-jump,i-jump。 ”
Jack and Ruth didn't know how many people they touched back then, and they hope that this life can be the same.
The preparation of the film is in full swing, and this year, Henry's Global Online officially launched a charge against the NASDAQ as a vanguard!!
January 20th.
The NASDAQ bell rings, and the global online listing is listed!
The IPO issued 200 million shares, representing 20% of the total share capital, with an initial share price of $20 per share. As soon as the stock market opened, the share price of Global Online soared all the way, and the magnitude of the increase was staggering. By noon, the stock price had risen to $50.
Countless investors are buying like crazy, buying as many as they want.
"The global online stock price has risen again, buy it!"
"Damn, it's gone up more than four times and it's still rising, I just kept buying it if I knew it, Made, it's a loss!"
"What kind of loss are you, I just sold the stock when the stock price tripled, and I am the !! loss"
“……”
Americans are actually crying out for losses, and people in other countries who can't buy global online stocks are already crying......
At this moment, there are countless media around the world that are paying attention to the rise of global online stock prices.
Seeing this upward trend, everyone was taken aback.
The stock price has basically not stopped, it has been rising, just like riding a rocket, it is too fierce, and people can't stand it with their hearts!
At the close of the day, the stock price of Global Online had soared to $120, a six-fold increase, with a total market capitalization of $120 billion, which shocked everyone's attention.
The television was broadcast live, and the newspaper was urgently printed and sold that night.
There has been a lot of discussion on the Internet, and it is a mess.
"The global online box office is as much as $120 billion, which is crazy!!"
"Yes, there is no reason, I found out! Global Online's profit is only about one billion US dollars, and the box office can reach 120 billion US dollars, which is really exaggerated!"
"Damn, the global online market value is $120 billion, and I'm thinking, isn't Henry Williams' worth a lot more!"
"Yes, he's too rich, he's killing the top five hundred in seconds!"
"Uh...... All the top 500 companies combined, I don't think Henry Williams has any money!"
“……”
At the end of a crazy day, everyone was so excited that they couldn't sleep, and when late night came, tiredness came to their hearts. Only then were they able to calm down. $120 billion is not quite in line with global online earnings. However, by the next day, the stock price of GOL had only a small drop of $1 before stabilizing. Many shareholders don't want the stock price to fall now, because when it falls, they will lose money!
The IPO of Global Online raised a total of $4 billion, so much money, enough money for the company to grow and grow! This money belongs to the company, and shareholders who want to make money can only reduce their shares and cash out of the stock market.
Henry doesn't have the idea of cashing out his shares now, he has to wait, he has to wait until all his Internet companies are listed, which will inevitably cause a bigger Internet bubble, and then he can cash out more money by reducing his shares!
The listing of Global Online made the company's employees rich, creating five billionaires, thirty multimillionaires, and more than six hundred millionaires at once, of course, they did not have Henry's patience, and seeing that the stock price was so crazy, many people took the opportunity to cash out a lot of money.
A few days later, Henry went on a trip to Global Online.
Henry looked at it, Nima, there were rows of luxury cars outside the headquarters building! And many of them were the same, did everyone go to the group buying?
