During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 627 IPO Plans to Take in a Heartbroken Woman
As Wei Jin expected, after Li Ming passed away, only a bunch of idiots were left in Xiaoma Pentium.

Since the 3rd, the so-called Xiaoma board of directors has met with Zhong Lifang many times, with the intention of making this outsider who is not surnamed "Li" hand over power.

Unable to bear the pressure, Zhong Lifang formally submitted her resignation after Li Ming's seventh day of mourning.

As soon as Wei Jin learned the news, he extended an olive branch again. After some consideration, Zhong Lifang agreed to a meeting.

However, Wei Jin did not expect that before the interview with Zhong Lifang even started, he would receive a visit from Xinlang's Cao Guowei.

In the office, after the assistant Chen Yuqi made the tea, she stood aside with her head bent, while Wei Jin took a sip.

"Director Cao, are you ready to start?"

As he spoke, Wei Jin sighed a little. He still remembered that Weibo was founded when Zeng Li was pregnant. Four years have passed in a flash.

"Well, we have to thank President Wei for his strong support. He never hesitated to raise funds every time, which made Weibo's development a leader in every aspect. Here, on behalf of Weibo, I would like to thank President Wei."

Cao Guowei's tone was very sincere. When Weibo was first established, three companies shared the world.

It is Wei Jin's unremitting support and even advice that have enabled Sina Weibo to reach its present state step by step and become the undisputed number one.

And over the years, Wei Jin has never interfered in the operations of Xinlang and Weibo.

Even when facing capital invasion from the likes of Ali, Wei Jin was able to support himself unwaveringly.

For such investors, Cao Guowei feels that holding them in the palm of your hand is just the most basic operation!

"Mr. Cao, you are too serious. The development of Weibo will only benefit me and Shanhe Media both publicly and privately. If I don't support you, who should I support?"

Wei Jin stopped and did not take credit for it. He asked, "When is it expected to start?"

In fact, Wei Jin doesn’t care too much whether Weibo is listed or not, because even if the stock price is high, it is impossible for him to sell off shares on a large scale to cash out.

After all, Weibo was created to ensure Shanhe Media’s voice in public opinion in the industry.

"According to the plan, we will submit the IPO application in the first half of the year. Mr. Wei can take a look at the specific number of shares to be raised."

As he spoke, Cao Guowei handed over a document from his briefcase, and Wei Jin took it and quickly flipped through it.

Soon, a number caught his eye: 28.6%.

After some internal calculations, Wei Jin frowned slightly.

When Weibo was first founded, Shanhe Technology held a 45% stake.

In recent years, because of concerns about shaking the control of management, Cao Guowei has been very cautious when introducing other capital and has not released many shares to the outside world.

Of course, this is also because Shanhe Media is not short of money, and financing is more of a resource exchange.

As of now, Xinlang owns 44.83% of Weibo’s shares, while Shanhe Technology owns 37.32%.

After the release in the same proportion, the combined shares of Xinlang and Shanhe Technology will only be 58.65%.

This ratio does not seem to be low, but it is still some distance away from the two-thirds of absolute control.

Once a large number of external shares fall into the hands of North American capital, there is a chance that they will pose a threat to management.

This is inconsistent with Cao Guowei's usual cautious style.

You have to know that he was the man who dared to come to the company and discuss the shareholding ratio of circulating shares with himself, a shareholder of Xinlang.

This shows how strong his desire for control is.

As if seeing Wei Jin's doubts, Cao Guowei smiled slightly.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Wei. For this IPO, we plan to use a dual-class equity structure, and the voting rights of the circulating shares are not high.

And I have also reached an agreement with the other original shareholders that if they want to sell their shares in the future, they must give priority to us."

Cao Guowei used the word "we" very cleverly, and Wei Jin was very satisfied.

As for the possible impact of a dual-class share structure on the stock price, Wei Jin is not worried.

After all, with the gradual delisting of the other two Weibo accounts, Xinlang Weibo can be said to be the only dominant one in China, and its market share will further increase. The stock price will go up sooner or later. This is long-termism.

"Okay, let's follow this plan."

At this point, Wei Jin smiled and held out his hand: "Director Cao, I wish us all the best!"

"all the best!"

After talking about the main business, Cao Guowei stayed for a while and talked with Wei Jin about the subsequent development of Weibo.

When leaving, Cao Guowei reminded him, "Mr. Wei, don't forget the Weibo Night in a few days."

"Don't worry, I'll be there."

"Well, that's good. I wish Mr. Wei good luck in winning the Golden Globe Award."

"Thank you."

The next day, Wei Jin and Zhong Lifang met in a private teahouse in the capital.

When it comes to women, the Wei and Jin dynasties have always been very observant.

Compared with the time when they met at the cocktail party last month, Zhong Lifang today, although still wearing a high-end professional suit and looking dignified and elegant, looked haggard, and even her delicate makeup could not hide her expression.

Wei and Jin could fully understand this.

Although Zhong Lifang resigned voluntarily in order to maintain her dignity, she has joined Xiao Ma since 03, and it has been more than 10 years now.

Over the years, Zhong Lifang and Li Ming have worked together to transform Xiaoma from an advertising company into a leading film and television company in the industry, step by step.

The hard work and dedication involved cannot be explained to outsiders.

It can even be said that this woman has dedicated her best years of youth to Xiao Ma. How could she not have feelings for him?
Perhaps in her eyes, Xiao Ma is not only a stage to display her talents, but also her child.

Let me ask you, which "mother" is willing to leave her "child"?

Unfortunately, the custody of the "child" was not in her hands, so she could only leave sadly.

As if she sensed the pity in Wei Jin's eyes, Zhong Lifang forced a smile and said, "You are a lost dog. I am sorry to make you a fool of yourself, Mr. Wei."

Wei Jin stopped immediately: "Boss Zhong is too modest. You have made an invaluable contribution to Xiao Ma's development to its current size. The Li family abandoned you because they were blind."

Wei Jin's words were by no means a compliment, because he was not the only one who recognized Zhong Lifang's talent and vision.

As far as he knows, several leading companies in the industry, including Huayi, Star Media, Berna, and even Fiber Optic, have extended olive branches to him these days.

Only those idiots in the Li family, fighting for power and profit, could do such a stupid thing to destroy themselves.

The undisguised appreciation in Wei Jin's words also made the smile on Zhong Lifang's face bloom even more.

She had heard a lot of compliments, but when they came from Wei Jin's mouth, the force was different.

After all, the handsome man in front of him is regarded as a "mythical legend" in the industry.

After stretching out her slender hand, picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Zhong Lifang seemed to have dispelled the winter chill in the capital.

She looked up at Wei Jin's handsome face, and saw his eyes shining like stars, full of sincerity. At this moment, Zhong Lifang thought that working under such a boss might be a good thing, at least it was pleasing to the eye, wasn't it?

As the saying goes, "the man has feelings and the woman has intentions", the following conversation was very harmonious.

From the teahouse to the restaurant, the two chatted a lot about the development and opinions in the industry, and their conversation became more and more interesting.

Zhong Lifang admired Wei Jin's foresight, and Wei Jin was also impressed by this woman's professionalism.

Before they knew it, the dinner was coming to an end. Wei Jin felt that the time was right, so he put forward his own conditions.

In terms of position, Wei Jin promised Zhong Lifang the position of executive vice president of the group, and was in charge of the film production department, animation production department and public relations department.

The reason why it was the position of vice president of the group was that after Chen Guofu rejected Wei Jin's recruitment at the beginning of the year, the position of director of the film production department was given to Chen Xi.

After all, since "Assassin's Blade", Chen Xi has always been Wei Jin's exclusive producer, and has operated the company's other film projects many times.

Over the years, Chen Xi has worked diligently and made great contributions, so promotion is justified for him.

Compared with Chen Xi's expertise in film, Zhong Lifang, a woman with a master's degree in international marketing management and risk management, is better at administrative affairs such as company operations and foreign investment.

The position of executive vice president is a perfect fit.

With her joining, Lao Chen can temporarily focus more of his energy on the film and television city. After all, this is a long-term project with an investment of tens of billions.

In terms of treatment, in addition to the extremely high annual salary and project share, Zhong Lifang also enjoys dividend equity in the company's subsidiaries, and will even receive internal stock allotments after the subsequent listing.

"Mr. Zhong, what do you think?"

Wei Jin still stared at Zhong Lifang with a smile on his face, but he had already decided in his heart that if this woman refused, perhaps they were not destined to be together.

Because this treatment is already top-notch in the industry, especially the subscription of internal equity, which is definitely more attractive than Huayi’s so-called shares.

After all, after Shanhe Cinemas went public, Chen Zhiming, Jiang Xueman, Zhang Yipei and others were worth at least tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

Moreover, it is not just Shanhe Technology that is preparing for listing within the company.

Fortunately, Zhong Lifang did not let him down. After taking a deep breath, she stretched out her slender hand and said, "Mr. Wei is very sincere. Please take care of me in the future."

Hearing this, Wei Jin smiled and immediately extended his hand: "It's mutual. I also hope that President Zhong can treat Shanhe Media as his own home, share the honor and disgrace with the company, and grow together."

Feeling the warmth of Wei Jin's palm, Zhong Lifang smiled like a flower.

"Don't worry, Mr. Wei, I will."

After dealing with Zhong Lifang, Wei Jin rushed to North America without stopping to attend the Golden Globe Awards ceremony.

As the New Year is approaching, both Jing Tian and Liu Yifei are very busy and were unable to join us this time.

Wei Jin only brought his assistant Bao Tianqi and the producer of "Nomadland" Chen Xi.

Of course, Lao Zhu and several bodyguards are indispensable. After all, this is a free America, and there are gunfights every day. Wei Jin doesn't want to end up receiving the award and getting a box lunch instead.

However, it can be seen that both Bao Tianqi and Chen Xi seemed a little excited.

The former may be because it is his first time attending the Golden Globe Awards, while the latter is probably because of the nomination for Best Picture.

After all, for a producer, being able to hold the trophy for the highest award would definitely be the most glorious moment in their career!
As a result, after flying for more than ten hours, Chen Xi not only did not feel tired, but even felt a little excited.

Wei Jin's spirit is also good. The young assistant is enjoying his rapid progress for the first time. His shy and resistant, yet indulged attitude is really intoxicating.

We left Beijing at around 7: p.m. and arrived in Los Angeles at : a.m.

Although it is still January, the temperature in Los Angeles is much higher than that in Beijing, already reaching 17 or 18 degrees.

Wei Jin and his group all changed their clothes on the plane, and most of them changed into comfortable casual clothes.

"Let's go, Hunter is waiting outside. I heard that he didn't attend the party last night just to go to bed early and get up early. He's here to pick us up."

Wei Jin looked at the text message and followed the crowd towards the exit.

The bodyguards and others were also pushing the luggage, surrounding Wei Jin and the other two diligently.

"Hunter? That's really hard for him."

Although Chen Xi didn't have much time to deal with Hunter, he knew his character.

He has no girlfriend and is not getting married. He loves parties and cocktail parties. He has fun every night and is more extravagant than his boss.

But it's normal. As the president of Summit Entertainment and a well-known Hollywood producer, there are too many North American girls who want to pursue advancement.

But Chen Xi never expected that Hunter was even more "brutal" than she imagined.

The group had just walked out of the airport passage when they saw a shocking scene in the distance!
Wow, Hunter perfectly demonstrated what "money is justice" means!

Hunter, dressed in high-end clothes and a famous watch, is surrounded by two tall, curvy, sexy blonde girls. I don't know if they are Hollywood actresses or models.

The three of them were talking and laughing, apparently exchanging contact information and adding Twitter accounts.

Several employees of Summit Entertainment acted as "little brothers", gathered around and watched their "boss" being paid for.

A sharp-eyed "little brother" noticed Wei Jin and instantly came back to his senses, "President, the boss is here."

After hearing this, Hunter's eyes, which had just been scanning the North American girl's chest, instantly locked onto the front, and a smile even brighter than before appeared on his face.

But that look is really vulgar.

"Oh my god, my dear Wei, I haven't seen you for a long time and you are still so handsome. I am really envious.

You have no idea how excited I was when I heard that you were about to arrive. I arrived at five in the morning just to see you first."

Wei Jin could smell Hunter's servile aura even from more than two meters away. Seeing that he was about to come over for a hug, he raised his hand to stop him.

"Hunter, you were so busy flirting that you didn't even have time to look at me?"

While Wei Jin was speaking, he glanced at the two suspicious blonde girls not far away and secretly cursed Hunter for being a bastard with good vision.

"Of course, boss, don't doubt my loyalty."

Seeing that Hunter was going on and on, Wei Jin interrupted him.

"Okay, Hunter. I have no intention of interfering in your life, nor am I here to show my loyalty to you. If you're done with your work, shall we set off?"

"Okay, boss, I'll follow your instructions."

Hunter, who had gotten away with it, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then he helped Wei Jin open the car door in a very servile manner and waved to the two blonde girls.

I made a gesture of contact again, the meaning was very simple, let’s make an appointment later!

"Hunter, I say you'll die in a woman's belly sooner or later."

"Boss, don't worry. When I went to China last year, someone gave me tiger bone wine, saying it is good for the body. I am doing great now."

Wei and Jin Dynasties: “.”
