Volume 1 Chapter 340 The Listing Day is Approaching

After registering 'Media Asia, this new group company, Lin Xiaozhi did not do any confidential work.

As a result, with his current exposure in Hong Kong, this matter naturally cannot be hidden for a few days. Before Sing Pao began to promote his company's listing, the news was shaken out by another financial newspaper in Hong Kong, Hong Kong Financial Daily.

"Registered Media Asia Group, Lin Xiaozhi or step up the layout of listing"

Although the Hong Kong Economic Times is only a newspaper born in RR years, Hong Kong already has a Hong Kong Economic Journal that occupies the largest market in Hong Kong's financial reports. However, the Hong Kong Economic Times has been able to successfully gain a foothold nearly two years after its birth, and has now been able to maintain a daily sales volume of more than 50,000 copies, which is still relatively successful. One of the most important reasons why it was able to gain a firm foothold this year is that the newspaper avoided competing with the hegemon Hong Kong Economic Journal for time and efficiency in reporting professional financial news, and concentrated on reporting the news that the people were most concerned about.

Undoubtedly, Lin Xiaozhi, who has recently won a lot of attention in Hong Kong with several acquisitions, is one of the key targets of the Hong Kong Economic Times.

"Recently, the Japanese newspaper received news from the government that Lin Xiaozhi, the owner of New Asia, who had just acquired Debao from the famous brand king Pan Disheng, had recently registered a group company called 'Huanya). Although the registration cost of this group company is only 30 million Hong Kong dollars, according to the information learned by this newspaper, Lin Xiaozhi has already assigned the asset coefficients of his holdings of New Asia Films, Debao Films, Debao Cinemas, New Asia Records and other companies to the name of "Media Asia". At the same time, Lin Xiaozhi previously announced at a press conference that he was contacting a company for acquisition, and many people in Hong Kong had speculated about it before, predicting that it might be a record label or a film company, but apparently none of them were right. According to relevant sources, the distribution giant Meiya has appeared in Lin Xiaozhi's newly registered 'Media Asia, the group, and officially became one of its subsidiaries......

"This newspaper has made a prediction in the previous issues of the newspaper that after the completion of the liquidation of the acquired Debao company, Lin Xiaozhi's next step is undoubtedly to consider the excellent performance of the new Asia Film Company, with the well-known and a large number of artists, films and distribution resources of Debao, to establish a new group company. With the completion of the acquisition of distribution giant Meiya, Media Asia will become the third large-scale group company in Hong Kong to integrate production, distribution and screening, and the scale is still above Golden Harvest and Golden Princess. ”

"It is worth mentioning that compared with Golden Harvest, which has been established for many years and is still struggling to be listed, Media Asia has unique conditions for listing. In the past two years, Lin Xiaozhi has far exceeded the exposure rate of ordinary artists, and New Asia's excellent performance and legendary rise in only two years have also made many shareholders eager to share his legend. A series of large-scale investments and mergers and acquisitions have also made the senior management of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the financial community optimistic about the financial situation of Media Asia. Although Golden Harvest has frequently reported its listing plan since the beginning of RR, due to its reluctance to include Golden Harvest Cinemas in the listing copy, as well as 890's financial crisis for six consecutive quarters and the financial report for the third quarter, it has been delayed for a long time and still failed to achieve the listing as expected. Media Asia may replace Golden Harvest as the first film group to be listed in Hong Kong......"

As soon as the "Hong Kong Economic Times" broke the news, Lin Xiaozhi's newly registered Media Asia was finally exposed. Although before this, there were some people in the Hong Kong industry who were eye-to-hand and staring at him all the time to notice his movements, but it was only known to a few people, and no one who abided by their duties did not spread the meaning of adding a little more glory to his Lin Xiaozhi's aura. Sure enough, the news that Media Asia and the publishing giant Meiya were 'acquired' came out not only made the Hong Kong media lively again. At the same time, it also made the entire Hong Kong film industry once again focus on Lin Xiaozhi and his Huanya, who have become a giant.

"The distribution channels cover the whole of Southeast Asia, and Meiya operates more than 50 Hong Kong films for overseas release every year, and distributes more than 3 million boxes of Hong Kong film cassettes every year, with a production capacity close to 60% of the total distribution of Hong Kong film videotapes

"Li Guoxing refused to answer the purchase price, and the interview admitted that Meiya was acquired"

"The valuation of Meiya exceeds 500 million Hong Kong dollars, and the re-swallowing of Meiya has forced the outside world to reevaluate the market value of Media Asia"

"A senior executive of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange said that it has indeed received an application for listing from Media Asia and is in the process of verification and review......"

According to a survey conducted by this newspaper, more than eighty percent of respondents are optimistic about the prospects of Media Asia, saying that if it is listed, it will be a large number of ......."

"Personal finances are still good, Lin Xiaozhi said in an interview that the re-acquisition of Meiya 'will not hinder the financial situation, the industry assesses that his personal assets may exceed 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, and he will be among the top 100 richest people in Hong Kong in the coming year......"

"The rebel son of the wealthy family refused to reply whether to go public, saying, 'Media Asia is not perfect, there are still shortcomings, funds are still sufficient, and it will continue to acquire suitable companies to make up for Media Asia's shortcomings,......"

"According to Song Nianhui's friends, in the past two years, Song may have earned more than one billion Hong Kong dollars from the financial market for Lin Xiaozhi......"

"Morgan, Citigroup, Mitsubishi, HSBC and a number of foreign banks visited intensively, and Guo Bo, vice president of Hang Seng Bank, said that Hang Seng is actively striving to become one of the underwriters of the listing of Media Asia"

Since the news of his registration of Media Asia and the merger of the distribution giant Meiya was exposed, the next few days have been overwhelmingly full of reports about Lin Xiaozhi and Media Asia.

Although Hong Kong has a reputation as an international financial center, the origin of this status is also partly related to its position in the Far East after the war. The reason why the People's Liberation Army did not forcibly acquire Hong Kong by force was precisely because it was worried that the Red Continent would need an urgent import and export of materials and a policy publicity portal after being blockaded by Western society. It is no exaggeration to say that a large part of the reason why Hong Kong was able to rise up after World War II was precisely because the Red Continent needed it.

However, as an international financial center, Hong Kong is less supported by a strong industrial economy than Tokyo, London, Paris, Berlin and New York, although in a short period of time, relying on Hong Kong's gradually declining manufacturing industry and the bubble containing more and more real estate and financial industries to support the banner of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. However, not to mention the whole world, even if you look at the whole of Asia, the only countries and regions willing to list their companies in Hong Kong are Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and a few overseas Chinese entrepreneurs in Southeast Asia. Therefore, although Hong Kong people are rich and Hong Kong is still an international financial center, there are not many companies listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange every year, especially after the credibility crisis of the 87 stock market crash and the suspension of the market for a few days, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange has not encountered a company like Media Asia that has extensive public visibility and influence, and is still in excellent financial condition.

Since the birth of the merger of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, there has only been one listed company related to film and television, and it is the main TV station, and there is really no listed company related to film. I'm afraid no one will forget that H, which was estimated to have a market value of less than 2 billion when it was first listed, once skyrocketed into a giant with a market value of more than 10 billion in just a few years. Although some time ago, because of the sudden poaching of the rival ATV, the market value plummeted by more than half, but recently it has gradually risen back to more than 4 billion market value, which can be seen.

It is precisely for this reason that the Hong Kong Stock Exchange attaches great importance to the listing of Media Asia.

"Lin Dong, if you have any questions about listing, just call me and ask. Our side is ready to join the HKEX family."

This should be the seventh time that Lin Xiaozhi has met with Jiang Yannian, the vice chairman of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, although the enthusiasm of this person in front of Zhilu Dao is mixed with too many things called interests, but Lin Xiaozhi still has a good impression of this tall and thin man in his forties.

"Thank you Jiang Sheng and everyone from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for completing the review and approving our listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in such a short period of time. Jiang Sheng, don't worry, we are already in contact with several banks and brokerages about the IPO, and I believe that all this can be completed within a month......"

At the end of September, Song Nianhui vaguely expressed his intention to list to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and in just two months, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange has completed all the procedures for the listing of Media Asia, which is indeed very fast. Now, if Lin Xiaozhi is still arguing with several banks and brokerages that are trying to issue IPOs on his behalf, I am afraid that Media Asia will be able to successfully list on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in early January, becoming the first film group to be successfully listed in Hong Kong.

Golden Harvest originally had this opportunity, but Zou Wenhuai repeatedly struggled with the issue of listing. He wants to go public and make money, but he is not willing to incorporate the best quality assets into it. Moreover, many of the films that Golden Harvest has invested in in recent years have lost money, and at the same time, Zou Minhuai has withdrawn a few funds from Golden Harvest to speculate in real estate, which has also made the listing conditions issued by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the brokerage far lower than the line in his heart, but he has hesitated for many years, and he is about to give up the honor of the first film group listed in Hong Kong to Lin Xiaozhi and his Media Asia.

Thanks to repeated media hype, Lam and his company have a wide reputation and public acceptance in Hong Kong. In the era of eyeball economy, getting more attention means more benefits, Lin Xiaozhi and Media Asia only took more than two months to get the listing conditions that Golden Harvest dreamed of, and a number of banks and brokerages willing to undertake the initial share issuance for them have offered prices far beyond his own expectations. Although Lin Xiaozhi does not deny that his company's performance is indeed good, it is undeniable that after entering the 90s, the world has entered the era of eyeball economy with half a foot

The listing of Media Asia is near
