Chapter 48 Acquisition of shares in Microsoft
He was Ross's godson.
According to the custom of Western culture, he called Ross father, or God father.
For any company to be listed on Hong Kong, it must find cornerstone investors.
To put it simply, it is a commitment to buy, and the capital is locked for half a year after listing.
Mainly large institutional investors such as banks, insurance companies, hedge funds, etc.
The entry of these capitals is an affirmation of the company's fundamentals and development prospects, and will bring great confidence to investors in the secondary market.
An anchor investor is a large institution that clearly expresses its investment intent at the inquiry stage and places an order on the first day of a roadshow and bookkeeping.
Except for those who have signed an iron anchor agreement, there is no lock-up period, and they can be sold after listing.
As long as there are enough investors and strong enough backgrounds for these two kinds of investors, they can attract countless crazy institutions and retail investors when they go public.
Sometimes the subscription multiple and subscription price will rise to an outrageous level!
Directly let a small company become the industry leader!
It is hundreds of times faster than the accumulated resources of one movie at a time.
If Yanhuang Film can get the support of many Citigroup capitals, then Li Xingchen will grow into a fierce little crocodile in Xiangjiang in a short period of time.
Looking at the godson with a serious face, Rose was stunned for a moment, and stretched out his right hand that had just touched a place where the young girl was: "Little Simon, then you have to work hard." ”
Li Xingchen hurriedly covered his nose: "Father, just shake hands and forget it, you wait for my good news!" ”
He didn't want to have indirect contact with that girl somewhere.
To get the support of the Ross godfather, you have to meet in person, not on the phone, as a sign of respect.
That's why they rushed from San Francisco to Los Angeles.
After coming out of Rose's villa.
Together with Luo Song, Li Xingchen drove a car rented from the airport to Santa Monica Beach in Los Angeles to visit Luo Song's mother, Congressman Song Xiang.
is different from Li Xingchen's parents, who have always been in love.
Ross and his wife, Song Xiang, who is a member of Congress, although they pretend to be extremely affectionate outside, in fact, their marriage status has long existed in name only.
This is also the norm for many Citigroup dignitaries.
Under the subtle influence of the family, Luo Song can not become a pervert, and he has to thank Li Xingchen's parents for letting him know what a normal family is.
Whenever his three views were distorted at home, he went to Li Xingchen's house to play for a few days, and they were reversed again.
Therefore, in the process of constant distortion and improvement, Borscht has become what it is today.
Song Xiang was also very happy to see the two little guys.
She's very busy, though.
As a member of Congress, I have a full schedule.
She had lunch with the two of them, and after a brief exchange of their needs for capital, she flew to DC.
The DC District is the administrative center of Citigroup and has countless bigwigs.
So Luo Song decided to go with his mother to rub his connections.
By the way, go to New York, the economic center of Citigroup, to see if they can find some capital connections on Wall Street alone to prepare for their future IPO plans.
Li Xingchen was not interested in following, this kid obviously wanted to drink the abalone soup of those Yanmar in the eastern part of Citigroup.
In terms of pulling capital, Ross and Song Xiang are much more reliable than Luo Song.
He booked a plane ticket back to San Francisco the next day and stared at the post-production computer stunts of A Chinese Ghost Story.
The team of Pixar Animation is indeed the first in the world.
The purchase price of 10 million US dollars was well spent.
Originally, Li Xingchen expected a month's post-production time, but it only took 20 days to complete all the computer special effects shots.
Especially the tongue of the dryad, the finish can be fake and real.
Compared to Xu Ke's goofs of using plastic to pretend to be, it is simply a heaven and an underground.
But Pixar Animation's technical soul Edwin. Cartem said it was the worst work he had ever made.
If the new boss can give him more time, he can definitely make "A Chinese Ghost Story" (the English translation of "A Chinese Ghost Story") with the world's top special effects, bombard the entire Asian market!
Li Xingchen looked at the future information, this guy won the Turing Award and created various mobilization messages, so he had to choose to be silent.
No way.
In the field of computer animation special effects for movies, this big brother is the world's number one.
This time in San Francisco.
In addition to working with the team on special effects every day, he also has to work overtime at night to write the scripts for the next few movies.
"Prison Storm", "God of Gamblers", "Heavenly Love".
After completing the script, most of the storyboard sketches were drawn and then taken back to Xiangjiang to make a formal storyboard script by the backstage department.
Regarding the script, director Xu Ke of Hong Kong is the most funny, his storyboard usually only has a few villains who can't see the appearance of people, and it is all up to the production team to draw these villains into real characters in the later stage.
But it doesn't prevent him from becoming a great director.
Therefore, Li Xingchen's script is not very serious, and the general meaning can almost be seen.
Otherwise, what are you doing with the executive assistant director?
Lou Zhenwei and the King of Sunglasses who dug up the young period, didn't they let them do this kind of thing.
What made Li Xingchen feel even more psychologically unbalanced was that after Luo Song came back from the DC Special Zone, he really brought a few Yanmars and danced around the demons next door every day.
As for him, he could only spend the long night in his room silently, with printers and painting easels.
I can only call Zou Huimin every day to solve my lovesickness.
"I'm crazy."
Looking at these three movies, Li Xingchen said this in his heart more than once.
But these are the keys to his future plans.
What else can I do?
The path you choose, no matter how painful it is, you have to go on.
"There are a few good Mexican girls recently, introduce two to you, don't hide in your room and eat yourself all day long!"
After dinner, the borscht proudly showed off his recent hunting results.
It is better to be happy alone than to be happy in all.
I have to let my friends share their joy too.
"I'm not interested in women."
Li Xingchen put down the "SF Times" in his hand, and the headline on the front page was the battle between Oracle Ellison and Microsoft's Bill Gates.
On March 12 this year, Oracle went public, with a market capitalization of $1.84 billion on the same day.
Created a myth of wealth.
Just when the madman Ellison thought that the heroes of the world were all rubbish.
The next day, March 13, Microsoft went public, and its market value soared to $4.79 billion on the same day!
A hard slap in the face of the madman.
So Ellison was red-eyed and started the multi-year "road of bombarding Microsoft".
Even at all costs, I want to find ironclad evidence that Bill Gates will go to hell.
As a madman who takes "you can only succeed by yourself, everyone else must fail" as his life motto, Ellison also has arrogant capital.
After a few months, it successfully sniped Microsoft's stock price!
Microsoft's market capitalization has fallen by a large margin.
Now Bill Gates was not happy, and first bombarded the glorious deeds of Ellison's unmarried pregnancy on the Internet.
and then wrote all the chaotic love history and cheated deeds of Ellison before.
For example, being abandoned by his wife, cheating people when his last company went bankrupt, cheating taxpayers' money, and so on.
Of course, Ellison wasn't easy to mess with.
Bill Gates relied on his mother to dig up the first pot of black material for gold, which he exploded.
The grievances and hatreds between the two sides have lasted for many years.
Until later, they all became billionaires, and they didn't stop.
In short, there is no self with you!
However, Li Xingchen did not pay attention to the battle between these two people, but saw a key thing.
Microsoft, last year launched Microsoft Windows 1.0!
This product is an epoch-making personal computer overlord.
Microsoft's market capitalization has risen from 4.79 billion at the time of listing to $1,704.5 billion, an increase of more than 355 times!
"And what are you interested in?"
Rodscht shrugged his shoulders and tossed a cigar to his best friend.
"Dollars!"
Li Xingchen smiled, "I'm ready to buy some shares of Microsoft, and I'm very optimistic about Windows." ”
As for Oracle, he didn't have much interest, after all, in the era of Microsoft, Oracle could only be the second in a thousand years.
Luo Song frowned: "I don't have any money, after buying the Repulse Bay villa and buying Pixar Animation, you should have less than seventeen million dollars left." ”
"For a multi-billion dollar company, your money doesn't make any difference."
"If you want to rely on the income of the next few films, it will affect the cash flow of Yanhuang Films, hinder the pace of its listing, and the gains outweigh the losses."
"We can use leverage!" Li Xingchen smiled slightly, "Seventeen million, on Wall Street, you can easily allocate more than five times the funds, as long as you can let us sit on the boards of directors of these two companies." ”
The borscht laughed: "More than five? My dear brother, do you know what you are talking about? A slight fluctuation, and your 17 million will be lost! ”
