1232 Good News
Wall Street's guidance has already exceeded $200.
In May, the psychological price offered on Wall Street was only more than $130, and in just two months, it rose by nearly $70!
This is something that has never happened before.
Of course, it is not surprising that the New Global IPO is the largest IPO in history, breaking all kinds of IPO records.
The $200 offer, Donn was not satisfied.
His bottom line is $250!
The gap is so big that it's like a chasm.
Keep up the good work!
Don has seen the future, before the next wave of the Internet arrives, the market value of New Globe will be among the top five in the world, and it is not impossible to even become the largest company in the world by market capitalization!
Such a transcendent market capitalization scale is indispensable to the financial operation of Wall Street.
Therefore, he has no intention of snatching food from Wall Street, he must hurry up and continue to make the cake bigger!
Put out all the good news!
Let everyone understand that the future of New Globe is infinitely brighter, and the ability to make money will become stronger and stronger, so that more investors are willing to pay a higher price to subscribe for New Globe shares.
On July 20th, Blizzard announced that World of Warcraft has more than 42 million players worldwide, making it the largest online game in the world today! It is expected that the number of players of World of Warcraft will exceed 50 million within this year!
Compared with traditional PC game publishers such as EA, Konami, and Activision, Blizzard has become the world's largest online game developer that has enjoyed the dividends of the Internet!
The issue price was raised by another $6 to $207!
It can also be seen from the amount of price increase that Wall Street's confidence in online games is far greater than that of Hollywood movies, even if it is Mel Gibson, even if it is "007".
This is the market prospect of emerging industries and traditional industries.
On July 21, the TV Media Department released three pieces of good news one after another-
First, STA TV Network and Colombia's national TV network reached an agreement to officially enter Colombia! At the same time, it also announced that Starz will develop the Latin American market after North America, Europe, and Asia!
Second, Discovery Communications will undergo a new round of corporate restructuring, which is expected to lay off 3,200 employees and save $530 million a year.
Third, in the next three years, the TV media department will develop its own sports channel!
It's a pity that TV is also a traditional industry, and the feedback on Wall Street is limited, and the price has been raised by $4 to $211!
New Global's IPO global roadshow is getting closer and closer.
Before the roadshow, New Globe had to work out an issue price range with Wall Street.
It seems that there is still a long way to go from the bottom line of $250 in Donn's heart.
……
Don has already spoken to Barry Diller.
After the listing of New Global, the company should have a new look and new vitality.
He's old, and it's time to abdicate and make way for the virtuous.
After his retirement, Barry Diller will assume the role of vice chairman and executive director of New Globe, and the company's first line of power will fall into the hands of a younger Robert Iger.
This was expected, and Barry Diller took it in stride.
He holds more than 3 million shares of New Globe with a total value of more than $600 million.
Such a large sum of money is an income that he has never had in his whole life of work.
New Universal gave him everything, and he didn't complain too much.
He also knew that Robert Iger taking over the position of CEO would be more conducive to the future development of New Globe.
However, he always has to stand on the last shift.
He questioned Donn.
Put out all the good news before the IPO...... Although it will increase the market's expectations and recognition in the early stage, it can be recognized by Wall Street and increase the issue price step by step.
But what about after the IPO?
New Global's share price is too high.
If there is no further market stimulus after the IPO, once the sell-off occurs, it is likely to be a small-scale financial turmoil, which will directly lead to a breakdown.
New Global's shareholders will suffer losses, and Wall Street and equity investors will suffer huge losses!
The safe approach is to keep some good news.
After the IPO, it will be released step by step.
Constantly stimulate the market and constantly increase the chips to the market, so as to stabilize the stock price of New Globe.
The days after the IPO tend to be the most liquid and the most sensitive market feedback, and this juncture must be stabilized.
Don laughed and said nothing, telling Barry Diller that he could put his heart in his stomach.
As long as it's not too rubbish, it's almost impossible to break it.
Especially for New Global's stocks, it is impossible for Wall Street to allow a break!
Wall Street is almost synonymous with finance, and its influence and authority are just too great.
Therefore, when Wall Street makes money by doing evil, it can often bankrupt people, and the subsequent subprime mortgage crisis is a typical case.
Donn made the pie bigger and made so much money on Wall Street, how could they possibly allow New Globe's stock to break?
It's simple.
Several major investment banks have joined forces, upgraded the stock rating of New Global at the same time, unanimously made a "recommended buy" proposal to investors, and significantly raised the expected stock price, so that they can easily get through the unstable phase of the IPO.
In the financial market, Wall Street is absolute authority, absolute power.
When this absolute power "cheats", almost everyone will be fooled.
The stock market is an important tool to stabilize market activity, and to put it bluntly, it is the flow of funds, which is to cut leeks. The difference is that some countries cut leeks very skillfully, so that people can't see the horse's feet, and some countries cut very bloody, which makes people's teeth itch with hatred.
New Globe is one of those companies that is undisputed to be of high quality.
However, in the process of IPO, it is inevitable to have the behavior of cutting leeks.
Regardless of whether the future issue price is $200 or $300, such a share price is significantly overvalued, and it is strongly pushed up by New Global's stunning financial statements for the second quarter and a recent succession of positive news.
With the connivance and cooperation of Wall Street, everything will fall into place.
Tang En could actually predict that after half a year, New Globe's stock price would probably show a downward trend. After the subprime mortgage crisis, it will be even more likely to suffer a sharp fall, and it is not surprising that the stock price even fell to $150.
This is equivalent to making the subscribers who snapped up the IPO buy New Globe shares lose 40% in two years!
Tang Enming knows that the stock price of New Globe will plummet in the future, but he will also firmly complete the recent behavior of speculating on the stock price of New Globe.
This has little to do with his own interests.
If he can't fall, he will not cash out the shares of New Globe on a large scale, that is, the scale of billions of dollars, to replenish the blood of Don Capital.
He's thinking about the people at New Globe.
With the New Global IPO, they can take the opportunity to exercise their options or sell their stocks to get a large sum of cash to improve their lives. In other words, the stock price in the initial stage of listing is very important. The higher the price, the more money they can cash out.
"Rest assured, our investment advisors will help us solve this problem!"
That's Donne's statement.
The scheming Barry Diller immediately realized what was going on and made up his mind that after the successful IPO of New Global, he would find an opportunity to sell some of the shares......
"By the way, Meredandley is your old subordinate, isn't it?, why hasn't his matter been settled yet?" Donn asked, alleging Barry Diller's concerns.
Chris Meledandley, president of the Twentieth Century Fox Animation Division...... You should leave your job, right?
The results of "Ice Age 2" are so good, Blue Sky Studio must have won the right to speak in the animation department.
Sure enough, then Barry Diller gave a positive answer, "It has been resolved, the two sides are negotiating a settlement, after all, there is still a contract." ”
Don frowned, "That's good news!"
He is also waiting for the good news of Chris Meledandelli joining New Universal and establishing Illumination Entertainment Animation Studio, so as to further negotiate with Wall Street to increase the release price.
"What's the good news?" said Barry Diller amused, "even if he were an animation talent, he wouldn't have such a big impact, would he? Wall Street doesn't have a high evaluation of traditional industries." ”
Don nodded, agreeing with his statement.
That's true.
At this time, there really isn't much anyone who can recognize Chris Meledandelli's ability, otherwise Twentieth Century Fox wouldn't have swept him away.
Probably the whole world knows that Donn alone knows that Chris Meledandley has created an animation studio no less than Pixar.
Shaking his head, Don waved his hand, "Forget it, it's good that he can come." ”
In addition to operating independently, he also made a small request. ”
"Oh?"
He wanted to buy a special effects studio that would specialize in CG animation. If you're starting from scratch, it's too slow to start. He has great ambitions, and he is desperate to prove himself. Otherwise, he won't leave Twentieth Century Fox until at least 2007, when his contract expires. ”
Don blinked, "He's got a goal?"
"He talked to me, and to be honest, that conversation really made me realize that he is the kind of talent we need," Barry Diller said. Twentieth Century Fox fired him, which was really a huge mistake. ”
"Oh?" said Donn, intrigued, "Tell me about it." ”
Barry Diller said: "He told me something. He said that the French are probably the most lazy people in the world, but France is a core member of the European Union and one of the world's most powerful economic powers. The lazy French march and protest every day, spending half of the week on vacation. But they can create such a huge social wealth in a very short working time. ”
Donn agrees.
The communism of the French has become more and more excessive, and the income tax has reached 70 percent, and who can afford to earn 10 yuan and 7 yuan to pay taxes? Not only that, but the various demonstrations were shocking.
On one of his trips to Paris, Donn encountered a parade on the streets.
On a closer look, they were rebelling against the overtime culture.
When Tang En heard this, he also expressed his understanding that overtime is indeed the ruthless oppression of employees by capitalists, and he should relax and stay with his family in his spare time.
But when I asked again, I found that something was wrong.
The people who marched were people who didn't like to work overtime, they wouldn't work overtime at all, and they rebelled against those who were willing to work overtime.
The person who is willing to work overtime will be more and more capable, and will get more room for promotion and salary level. This is a great injustice to these people who are unwilling to work overtime. The French government had no choice but to introduce policies to limit overtime, so that by the weekend, it was difficult to find even a supermarket on the streets of Paris to buy groceries, and they were closed.
It is inconceivable that such an excess can maintain a strong economic vitality.
Barry Diller said: "Chris gave me an explanation, he said that using your brain is always more profitable than using your hands. France is probably the most creative country in the world, and they make a lot of money from their ideas, rather than on low-grade handicraft. ”
Don immediately understood, "That's the truth. France has the largest number of luxury brands in the world, and it has the largest number of top designers there. An LV bag can sell for $40,000 and cost less than $100 to make in China. Some people use their heads and draw a few design drawings to earn 99% of the profit, while some people work hard but don't make much money. It makes sense to say that Paris is the capital of the arts. ”
"That's right, cartoons also need creativity!
"So...... He wants to go to France and buy a special effects studio and then develop his own animation studio?"
Barry Diller said: "Yes, he was so disappointed with the backwaters of Hollywood that he wanted to go to France to find hope. After all, France, like Hollywood, is the home of cinema. ”
"The tax rate over there is too high, isn't it?" Donn frowned.
What he actually wants is to buy a Korean special effects studio, which is cheap and has a low tax rate.
Barry Diller smiled: "Special effects, what about emerging industries, there are policy supports, the entire European Union is vigorously supporting this industry, Greece, the Netherlands, and France have issued 40% tax rebates." ”
Invest 10 yuan, and the government will return 4 yuan, which is strong enough!
Don said: "If that's the case, then do it." If there is a policy change in the future, it is a big deal to move out of France. ”
……
Lighting Entertainment may be difficult to form good news in the short term.
However, this has little impact.
It's the Internet that can really make a big difference!
On July 24, good news came.
Hulu Closes Series A Funding Round!
