Chapter 342 Cross-shareholding of water world animation
Goldman Sachs Investment Bank Los Angeles Division.
In order to undertake the listing of Water World Animation, Goldman Sachs Investment Bank did not neglect at all. It specially dispatched Wall Deren, a well-known figure in the financial industry, to which he personally took charge.
"Welcome to you, Mr. Wald."
In the huge conference room, Wall Deren got up and invited Zhuke to sit down.
"Mr. Delun, be polite." Zhuke said with a smile.
Zhuke has a certain understanding of Wall Derren. He is one of the big bosses of Goldman Sachs Investment Bank. He has served as a top investment bank such as Bear Stearn and Lehman Brothers. He has multiple doctoral degrees in finance and has been in the finance industry for decades. He can be regarded as a powerful figure.
"Mr. Wald, it's true that he is young and promising."
"Yes, I'm only 22 years old and I'm about to own a listed company, which really makes me ashamed!"
"Dade is right. When I was 22 years old, I was still farming on a farm in Texas, thinking that I could make an extra $100 a day and wake up laughing."
"Water World Animation is definitely a big event that has caused a sensation in the American financial field. Think about Pixar Animation, my god, do you dare to imagine it? Pixar Animation, which almost went bankrupt, soon after it was listed, had a market value of US$1 billion. Now in just a few years, its market value has reached US$3.2 billion."
"What's that? Didn't it mean that Toy Story 2 will be released on Thanksgiving soon? By then, Pixar's market value soared by another $3.4 billion, that's absolutely no surprise."
“Mr. Wald’s Water World animation is not bad either!”
"Yes, looking at the current American animation field, besides Pixar Animation and DreamWorks Animation, who else can compete with Mr. Wald's Water World Animation?"
"No! None!"
"I dare to say that once Water World Animation is listed, its valuation will definitely break through the $1 billion mark in a short period of time!"
...
The managers of Goldman Sachs Investment Bank present were all people with lotus flowers.
Well, even though Zhuke knew that they were mostly flattering words, he still couldn't resist the joy in his heart!
Don't!
Don't stop! Keep talking ~
...........
Under the witness of a number of lawyers, Zhuke's chief assistant Alexander presented the final list of equity shareholdings for Water World Animation.
12% of the Water World Animation shares will be occupied by Stephen Sorenberg, David Messel and other Water World Animation employees.
The number of people is relatively large, with more than 300 people.
Once the company is officially listed on the US stock market, Stephen and Messel will undoubtedly have a huge fortune, and the remaining 300 employees will also make a fortune;
3% of the shares are shared by senior executives of the headquarters such as CEO Victor;
In other words, Zucker currently occupies 85% of the shares of Water World Animation.
Of course, this 85% stake is not fully held by the parent company Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group!
Jinshuguang Entertainment Group: holds 58% of the shares;
LinkedIn: holds 7% of the shares;
Hengyuan Investment Company: holds 15% of the shares;
Wald Foundation: 5% of the stake.
Hengyuan Investment Company is a Cayman Islands headquartered in the "tax haven". Its main business is financial investment. However... in fact... it is just a bag company, a company that Zhuke personally holds.
The Wald Foundation is also a new company that was just established not long ago.
Its main business is to do charity, provide school aid funds for out-of-school children in Asia, Africa, America, etc., and provide the lowest living security for the elderly;
Look, is Zhu Ke very noble?
In fact, it is mainly used by Zhuke to avoid taxes!
Why are so many rich people in America keen on charity and devoted themselves to charity activities? In fact, they are all for tax avoidance?
In order to save taxes, Zhu Ke naturally cannot avoid the vulgarity.
Otherwise, according to Zhu Ke's stingy attributes, how could he be willing to pay for it?
Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group occupies the absolute controlling stake in its subsidiary Water World Animation. LinkedIn, Hengyuan Investment Company, and Wald Foundation cross-holding, ensuring that Zucker will always be the biggest beneficiary.
"So now the question is, what is the issue price?" Zhuke asked again.
Wall Deren responded: "$19!"
$19?
Zhuke nodded secretly.
This issue price is a reasonable price code that Goldman Sachs Investment Bank has worked for several consecutive months and combined with market trends.
Previously, when he gave shares to his company's employees, Zucker gave them a price of $7 per share.
In other words, the shareholders who participated in the share allotment have made a lot of money. This is also one of the benefits that Zhuke gives to his employees.

The sales time is short;

Zhu Ke had a three-hour discussion with Goldman Sachs Investment Bank for issues such as listing promotion. This discussion was also the last discussion before listing.
That night, Zhu Ke couldn't help but feel a little excited at home.
"Water World Animation, it was created by me and was the first company to go public~"
Compared with the listing of IQ, Zhu Ke obviously attaches more importance to Water World animation. After all, one is an adopted son and the other is a biological son. Where is the relationship?
Since its creation and then its launch, Water World Animation has been around for more than three years and has produced many popular animations such as "SpongeBob SquarePants", "Peppa Pig", and "Find Nemo".
Especially the "Finding Nemo" movie!
It became popular all over the world as soon as it was released. Now it has achieved box office results of more than 900 million US dollars worldwide, becoming a veritable popular animated film!
That night, Zhuke also answered many blessing calls.
John Lasseter, one of Pixar's five tiger generals, has sent his blessings for many days in a row.
"I didn't expect it!"
"I never expected it!"
"Once upon a time, you, Juke Wald, was a very naughty and scoundrel guy, but now, the animation company you created can actually reach such a glorious level."
"Congratulations, my friend."
Zhu Ke accepted John Lasseter's blessing with ease.
Although Zucker had a good relationship with Lasset at first and had a utilitarian purpose, he has really regarded him as one of his best friends for a long time.
There is no need to say more about Charlize Theron, Joaquin Phoenix and other friends.
"I will definitely buy the shares of your company after it goes public." Theron said proudly.
"I am optimistic about Wald Pictures and the future of Water World Animation. I will buy stocks," Joaquin said on the phone.
However, our classmate Zhu Ke is a little ashamed!
Man, the Internet bubble is not far away~
Zhuke rushed to this point to list the company, and he had the mentality of making a fortune from the stock market before the crisis broke out!
When the crisis breaks out, the stock price of Water World Animation will inevitably be greatly affected, and investors' interests will definitely suffer losses, but if you hold them for a long time, Zhu Ke dares to say: You will definitely not lose money, you will definitely make a big profit.
