America's Road to Fame

Chapter 89 Investing in Huayi
In the end, William Chen decided to give it a go and chose to bind Paris as his partner, still using the [-] million US dollar loanable line.

He understands that owning a bank of the future can become an amplifier of his own assets, as well as an amplifier of his greedy desires.

And the more important it is now that the crisis is about to break out, the more he should stabilize himself and control the urge to advance.

Although after receiving a call from John Paulson in the morning, William Chen couldn't help but wonder how long the subprime mortgage crisis would erupt.

But now he is in Huaguo, and all the necessary arrangements have been made, so after eating, he cleared up his mood and continued to visit Yanjing with Ivanta.

I have to say that for those who come to China for the first time, there are still many places to visit in Yanjing.

Not to mention those places of interest, but the characteristic snacks and traditional residential gardens can make people spend a few days exploring.

Especially for Ivanta, when he came here for the first time, he felt that everything he saw was very novel.

At the end of the day, he began to complain to William Chen that he had eaten too much and felt that he was about to gain weight.

But what William Chen admires even more is Ms. Deng Wendi, she can always find and attend various gatherings, just like tonight, she is going to take Ivanta to a dinner that is said to be held by a certain fashion magazine .

Chen Weilian made his own arrangement, he would go to meet with the Wang Brothers to discuss the details of his investment in Huayi Company.

The meeting between the two parties was not complicated. Originally, the Wang brothers prepared a lot of materials, including the company's situation, financial information, future shooting plans, etc.

After all, Huayi Company is about to go public, so these materials are well prepared.

But William Chen didn't pay too much attention to these materials, he just asked about Huayi Company's A-share listing at this time.

According to the Wang brothers, this time Huayi Group is planning to issue 4200 million shares on the GEM. The current price inquiry range is between 15 and 40 yuan, and the total market value of the target company is 25.2 billion to 67.2 billion. between Chinese coins.

"I don't know what is your psychological expectation for the stock issue price?" William Chen asked with a smile.

"For fundraising, of course the higher the better." Wang Zhongjun glanced at his brother and said with a smile:

"But to tell you the truth, we have conducted investigations, and investors are still looking forward to our listing. According to the estimates of our consultants, the most likely issue price is between 20-30 yuan."

William Chen nodded and said: "The investment this time is not big, and we don't need to calculate it so clearly. Let's be straightforward. I will invest 25 million US dollars based on the stock price of 42 yuan, which is equivalent to your company's valuation." The value is [-] billion."

Hearing Chen William's words, the Wang brothers looked at each other and nodded slowly.

After all, William Chen's valuation made them quite satisfied, which can be seen from the stock inquiry range they initially set, which was regarded as the middle value in this range.

At the same time, the two brothers couldn't help but feel a little dumbfounded. This master's move is really bold. Only [-] million US dollars can be called a small investment.

This kind of mood may be similar to the first time you heard the first rich man Wang called out the small target, except that William Chen's small target is in US dollars.

"And my investment is because I am optimistic about the future development of your company, which is considered a long-term investment. Therefore, I can promise that the lock-up period of the stocks I hold is 18 months."

Chen William's statement also made the two brothers very satisfied, which means that the stocks he invested in this time can only be sold in the secondary market after one and a half years.

In this case, William Chen's investment before Huayi's listing can be regarded as good news.

Moreover, the stocks he holds will not make investors have too much worry, because in the initial stage of the stock listing, his stocks will be in the lock-up period, and there will be no large-scale smashing of the market, which will affect the stock price. It is beneficial to rise.

In this way, the two parties finally reached an agreement. Chen William's Meta Investment Company will invest 25 million US dollars in Huayi Brothers Company, and Huayi Brothers Company will issue 2732 million shares to it at a price of 14 yuan per share, and the shareholding will account for 18% of the company's shares after listing. Nearly [-]% of the total share capital, the lock-up period of this part of the stock is [-] months.

The achievement of this investment, I am afraid that the happiest people at this time are those celebrities who bought the company's shares before Huayi Company went public.

This shows that the shares of Huayi Company they bought before last year guaranteed at least a price of 25 yuan per share.

Because at this time, William Chen's investment in shares is calculated at the price of 25 yuan per share, so the price of the listed A shares must be higher than 25 yuan.

And last year when they bought it, the price was only 180 yuan per share. At that time, the leader with the highest purchase amount was Huang Jiaozhu, who directly raised money to buy [-] million shares.

As for Li Bingbing, the first sister of Huayi at this time, she only had 36 shares, but she bought them in the first batch, and the price was only 0.54 yuan per share, but she did not participate in the second batch of purchases.

The agreement was reached, and both parties were very happy. Wang Zhonglei immediately suggested that everyone go to celebrate together.

This celebration...Thinking of the rumors about Huayi, William Chen was a little moved, but thinking of going back to face Ivanta at night, he still thought it better not to be too anxious.

So Chen Weilian said: "Or another day, because I have quit drinking, I am afraid that it will spoil everyone's interest."

"Another day is another day. We will hold a special celebration banquet in two days. You must attend William. And I have contacted Ali's boss Ma, and I will invite him over that day. As for today, just Let Zhong Lei take you to relax and sing or something."

Wang Zhonglei is usually responsible for this kind of thing, he pulled William Chen very enthusiastically and said:
"William, I will let my brother arrange it tonight. Now that you are a shareholder of the company, you can't be too ignorant of the company. Today, I will introduce some actors of the company to you first, so that it will be convenient for future work." .”

Uh, if you mention this, then I will be serious.

However, although William Chen was very moved, he still resolutely rejected Wang Zhonglei's invitation.After all, when it is time to wave, it is time to wave, but when it is time to converge, it is still necessary to converge.

After all, he didn't come to Huaguo by himself now, and he doesn't know when Ivanta will go back to Deng Wendi and wait for him.

If the time comes when she wears a woman's fragrance and finds out by her when she goes back there, wouldn't that be just asking for trouble.

Sure enough, when Chen William said goodbye to Wang Zhonglei and separated, after calling, I found out that Ivanta and Deng Wendi had returned home.

"Why did you come back so early today?"

When they arrived at Deng Wendi's home, William Chen saw the two chatting in the yard.

Chen Weilian was also a little speechless for a while, how could these two people chat so much, they were chatting when they saw each other in the morning, and they were still chatting when they came back at night.

Uh, it wasn't that the two of them were planning to plot against me together. After seeing him approaching, they stopped talking, and William Chen became even more suspicious.

"It didn't feel like there was much fun there either, so we came back early."

Ivanta saw William Chen sitting beside her, so she leaned over to smell it while talking.

Sure enough... Fortunately, I didn't listen to Wang Zhonglei's words and fool around today. William Chen felt grateful when he saw the satisfied smile on Ivanta's face.

"Well, why did you come back so early?"

Ivanta also asked him. According to her prediction, Chen Weilian went to discuss cooperation with the Wang brothers at night, so she would come back later.

"It's nothing complicated, just talk casually and clarify the conditions. Anyway, their company is about to go public, and a lot of information is ready-made."

"Have you really decided to invest in Huayi Brothers? William."

Seeing William Chen talking about investment in such an understatement, Wendi Deng asked curiously.

"Yes, the specific method of investment has been determined today, and the rest is to let the subordinates come over and go through the process. I am more optimistic about the future development of Huaguo's film industry, so I have confirmed that I will invest [-] million US dollars in Huayi Company .”

William Chen's words made Deng Wendi not know what to do next, the [-] million dollar business, you just said it so easily, and the discussion was over in a while, and it was confirmed?
Although Wendi Deng's husband, Murdoch, is very rich, to be honest, Wendi Deng doesn't have much money at her disposal now. Many of her acquisitions are to persuade Murdoch to let him invest.

"I also think that Huayi Company does have a bright future, but unfortunately I don't have that much money, or I would like to invest some." She said with some regret.
