In March, Shanhai.com broadcast "The Gift of Room No. 7".
The next one to be released in April will be "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 2".
With the huge popularity of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", this second sequel has become the focus of everyone's pursuit from the beginning.
The original version of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 2" can be said to be barely qualified, and it is still better than the third film's continuation.
It's just that Shen Huan directly and significantly modified the plot of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 2", placing the main conflict on the outside, instead of an old emperor fighting for his concubine and a group of children who yearn for free love. The story of the struggle.
It's too childish to write like this, and it completely loses the original lighthearted and playful humor of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge".
Therefore, "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 2" has received unanimous praise from everyone since the first episode was broadcast.
The number of viewers of Shanhai.com exceeded 200 million in the first episode, and quickly reached the terrifying scale of 300 million in the third episode.
Of course, this is because overseas Chinese are watching it, and also because the Japanese, Korean, and Thai versions are on the shelves together. But the total viewership of 300 million people still shocked all the practitioners in the industry.
Even the originators of video websites in the United States feel inferior.
It was also at this time that news came that Shanhai.com was preparing to IPO in the United States.
Cui Zhong specifically mentioned this matter when he was on the phone with Shen Huan.
"The growth of Shanhai.com has reached a bottleneck. It needs new motivation and more funds to produce more content programs, so as to truly become a leader in video websites and entertainment media." Aunt Cui is rarely like this. Speak seriously.
Cui Zhong would mention many things about Shanhai.com to Shen Huan.
Not only because Shen Huan owns 1% of the shares, but also because Shen Huan is the guide for whether Shanhai.com can continue to move forward.
For example, in March this year it was Shen Huan's "Gift from Room No. 7", in April it was "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 2", and in June "Yue Yu 2" was booked.
These three TV series are the highlights of Shanhai.com this year. If they are missing, it will undoubtedly be a huge impact on Shanhai.com.
If you, a company that started as a video website, do not have good content, it will be just like other video websites, and there is no way it can support such a high valuation.
It's April 2017.
Shanhai.com is valued at US$130 billion.
Looks very tall, doesn't it
But you have to know that as early as October 2016, half a year ago, Shanhai.com’s valuation reached US$120 billion.
It only took half a year to grow by 10 billion U.S. dollars, which is undoubtedly a serious form of manifestation for Shanhai.com.
After all, in October 2015, their valuation was only US$80 billion. One year later, in October 2016, it skyrocketed to US$120 billion.
In fact, it has been soaring in the past few years.
But now, it has taken half a year to increase the valuation by another US$10 billion, which has to make them vigilant.
This is the bottleneck Cui Zhong mentioned.
It is definitely not an option for a company to survive by relying on ever-increasing valuations without going public.
One day, people's understanding of your company will be limited.
Shanhai.com can achieve the current valuation of US$130 billion, which is the maximum limit. If it is higher, other consulting companies and investment banks will not dare to give it.
Otherwise, if you get 130 billion today, I will give you 200 billion tomorrow... This will make shareholders and investors willing to believe it!
The valuation is too high, and no one is willing to take over the deal, let alone go public.
This is how these highly valued companies are treated when their shares are broken as soon as they go public.
So, at this point, the eldest princess Zheng Rongrong finally seriously considered going public.
If Shanhai.com is going to be listed, it must be in the United States.
China's stock market cannot accommodate a large company worth 900 billion yuan.
Besides, the United States is still very interested in this kind of video website company. They had two listed companies there before, and they were doing pretty well.
As the largest Internet technology company to go public in China in the past 10 years, Shanhai.com has certainly made countless investment banks excited.
Big-name investment banks including Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Citigroup, UBS Group AG, Royal Bank of the Netherlands, etc. have all joined the competition for underwriting merchants.
Undertaking the task of IPO listing and obtaining the underwriting rights means that you can get the original shares at a relatively cheap price.
Once the company goes public and its stock price continues to rise, it is a very cost-effective deal for these investment banks.
On the other hand, if the stock price breaks as soon as it is listed and then continues to decline, investment banks will lose money.
Therefore, it is not a company that is particularly liked and sought after, and there are not so many big-name investment banks competing to underwrite it.
Usually the situation should be that listed companies beg these investment banks to help them underwrite.
However, the valuations given by these investment banks are still relatively conservative.
Shanhai.com is now valued at US$130 billion. If it goes public, it can actually increase its value by one to two billion US dollars, and it could become US$150 billion.
But in order for Shanhai.com to develop better and have a good upward momentum, major investment banks have directly lowered the IPO valuation to US$130 billion.
Regarding this point, Cui Zhong and Shen Huan expressed their dissatisfaction.
But Shen Huan knew that this just proved that the financial community on Wall Street in the United States was optimistic about Shanhai.com.
They are not ready to grab a handful and leave, but are optimistic about this company in the long term.
The eldest princess had no objection to this.
She is carefully choosing an underwriter. Although there are not many options for her to choose from, and it is even possible that two or three companies will join forces to make the Shanhai.com deal, she is still learning about the information and convening her subordinates to discuss it.
Cui Zhong was the absolute top executive, and he also revealed some more specific information to Shen Huan.
Shanhai.com plans to take out 10% of its shares to raise funds, which is 13 billion US dollars.
Among them, the underwriter will probably buy 1%, and the rest will be released to the market.
These senior executives and even middle-level staff who originally only received salaries will receive the company shares donated by Zheng Rongrong.
The total value will not be too much, it may add up to about 1%-3%, but everyone can get tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions.
There is no price for this money. It is given by the eldest princess for free. Of course they are happy.
Shen Huan knew very well that the eldest princess must have asked him to say this in order to make herself feel more at ease.
After all, Shen Huan also has 1% of Shanhai.com shares in his hands!
Even if it is listed in the United States at a par price, selling 1% of the shares will still cost 1.3 billion US dollars, equivalent to RMB 9.1 billion!
It is probably unprecedented for a writer to receive such a large amount of bonus when cooperating with a company!
