Once they ascend the throne, their value will increase significantly.

The management of Lion Film and Television was adjusted, based on the strategic leadership of He Yuzhu, and mainly chose to produce or purchase small-scale low-cost films.

The adjustments are not huge but they are important, and they will be followed by a system of rewards and punishments.

Next, you need to report to the regulator and prepare for the pre-marketing procedures, which will be reviewed by experts.

However, the listing process no longer requires much preparation.

Wall Street has been eagerly awaiting this, eager for Lion Films to go public so that it can acquire shares.

According to statistics, the company's average annual net profit in recent years has exceeded 2 billion US dollars, which is not only from the box office, but also includes peripheral products and subsequent continuous income.

Profits were slightly sluggish in the first two years, but continued to rise from the year after.

The financial statements of Lion Films have been officially released to the public. In order to support the stock price, this move needs to be verified by the regulatory authorities before being released. Its authority is beyond doubt. As a result, the market value will certainly rise.

The existence of Marvel's big IP makes it more attractive.

The review is progressing smoothly, and the financial report shows that the stock market has responded enthusiastically and the shares have significant value.

The huge Marvel Universe plan is expected to cover ten years and include many films. What kind of box office record will it create? Many investors are ready to go!

To this end, He Yuzhu specially found Han Chunming to ring the bell together, announcing the listing of Lion Films, setting the initial stock price, and gradually pushing it to the stock market.

At this time, Murdoch seized this opportunity and immediately ordered to grab shares.

But there are many competitors, and many groups, including financial institutions, have joined the battle.

Lion Films' shares were not sold in an IPO, but were directly listed and placed on the stock market, where they were immediately snapped up.

The stock price climbed steadily higher, steadily improving amid the rush to buy, and in just half a day, eight percent of the shares had been sold.

The shares were allocated in batches of 100, and the general public could compete for shares directly on the stock exchange, which was a headache for Murdoch.

He had to send people to participate in the purchase, but the results were limited.

Lion Entertainment's market value, estimated based on the highest transaction price, has reached US$900 billion.

However, since block trades are often priced higher than normal, its preliminary estimated market value has reached one trillion US dollars. All this was within He Yuzhu's expectations.

He believes that no matter how powerful Lion Films becomes, it will never reach the heights of Disney.

But the IP he owns can be used to build an amusement park, which is not his goal at present.

He has big IPs such as "The Lord of the Rings", "Harry Potter" and "Marvel", as well as other undisclosed resources.

He will keep these for future planning as he has already alerted major global companies.

The reason for maintaining the current balance is that the number of profitable films he produces each year does not exceed ten, which is far from enough to make up for the gap compared to the scale of the global box office.

Therefore, the parties did not reach a tense situation.

Now, he is attracting new shareholders to bring everyone together to share common interests.

The first to be introduced was Goldman Sachs, which purchased 5% of the shares at a market value of 100 billion yuan, officially becoming a shareholder and having the right to join the company's board of directors.

Goldman Sachs is responsible for screening suitable investors and can exchange them for cash or equivalent equity, but He Yuzhu chose to exchange for stocks of Internet companies.

Some founders of Internet companies expressed their willingness to cooperate in exchanging shares with him, and as a result, the shares on sale were quickly sold out.

Then, he publicly announced the list of shareholders, and people were surprised to find that Chinese and foreign investors each accounted for half of the list, while Jewish investors were absent.

Murdoch cannot buy it, although there may be a deal in the future, but he does not have the right to purchase it directly, and each step of the sale is stipulated by a prior agreement, and the priority interest is in the hands of He Yuzhu.

Lion Entertainment's IPO and the subsequent buying spree and share sales have become the focus of recent public opinion, with the company's valuation climbing to US$120 billion.

This kind of enthusiasm is appropriate, and he cannot afford the consequences of excessive stock price fluctuations.

He is by no means a slave to capital. His shareholding structure will be adjusted to stock splits and cross-holdings, and he will no longer serve as chairman.

Considering Lion Films' current ample film production plans, its stock price can be maintained or even increased even without taking any specific actions.

He Yuzhu and Han Chunming have been shuttling between various business activities during this period, and He Yuzhu handed Han Chunming over to them.

At home, only he and Wenjia can travel in public, after all, his eldest brother and second brother both serve the country.

After returning to the hotel, he said to Han Chunming: "Chunming, a charity fund will be established soon, mainly to avoid taxes and future inheritance taxes. You will be responsible for managing the foundation in the future, but the initial funds will not be too large."

He plans to sell the shares in batches in a few years and quietly transfer the assets to China for investment. “After all, we are not locals, and no one can predict the future development.

For many years, those Western powers have continued to impose restrictions on us.”

“Once you take over, just keep a low profile and focus on the soybean farm.”

He Yuzhu said, "I know, don't worry, Dad, I will do it."

Han Chunming nodded in response, and then he asked: "Also, how about we buy a property here?"

"I don't think it's safe to stay in a hotel all the time."

Indeed, as the company gradually goes public, our presence becomes more visible, and buying a property can increase concealment.”

He Yuzhu agreed, and then said: "I will make arrangements, and we will see tomorrow. From now on, you and Wenjia must have a place to stay.

By the way, Wenjia is pregnant, so you can go back after you have seen the house."

Han Chunming smiled happily, he was going to be a father soon.

The next day, they went straight to the famous Beverly Hills and headed straight for the top of the mountain, without having to worry about the bottom. The main reason for buying this place was for safety and confidentiality.

This is undoubtedly the best choice as it is at the highest location.

The real estate agent was naturally very happy to hear He Yuzhu's needs. After all, high-end properties are more popular among the rich, so he directly recommended the house on the top of the mountain.

He Yuzhu drove the convoy slowly upwards while observing the surrounding environment.

Indeed, for business tycoons, it is heaven, provided that your career does not fall into desperate situation.

He glanced at the largest mansion and said, "Mr. Broker, this is Villa Florence. It's not wrong to call it a small manor."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu got out of the car and took the group on a tour.

To be honest, he was not very satisfied with the architectural style. Most of the villas were very old and had changed hands several times.

He Yuzhu asked: "Can it be rebuilt?"

The agent replied: "Yes, but first you have to buy it and go through the relevant procedures before you can rebuild it."

"Then make the deal immediately."

He Yuzhu agreed without hesitation, and then added, "I don't want to buy a property that has already been used and then rebuild it. I hope to complete all the procedures as soon as possible. Can you help me do this?"

"Of course, I will do my best to serve you."

The real estate agent seemed very excited. "I will find the best designer to design it. I just want to hear if you have any particular style preference?"

He Yuzhu directly stated: "Simplicity and technological elements are the main focus, and I am interested in contrasting colors."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu stopped talking and said, "No need to look any further, I am quite satisfied with the location here."

He paused while speaking.

"Okay, I will contact the seller immediately and ask a lawyer to come and negotiate."

The broker acted quickly.

He Yuzhu nodded in agreement, "As for the price, you can bargain a little bit, I'll pay in cash, so I hope there will be more discounts in this regard.

In addition, the follow-up matters will also be handed over to you to handle, do you understand?"

"Don't worry, the most conservative estimate is that it can be obtained for 7,500 US dollars."

The agent said this cleverly and went to make a phone call.

He Yuzhu and the others sat down and waited while the accompanying bodyguards brought back the drinks.

During the period, they discussed in detail the future security and maintenance issues. The bodyguards will be provided by their own team, and they will also listen to suggestions from all parties, after all, this will be a long-term residence.

Security precautions will be taken by professional organizations, but they do not rely entirely on third parties.

You can also carry a gun for self-defense here. He Yuzhu has the right to purchase a large number of firearms, but they can only be kept in the villa, which requires a specific license.

Reconstruction is not impossible. As long as it is your own asset, once you buy the land, even with the annual deed tax, the ownership will always be in your hands.

He Yuzhu was not satisfied with the original decoration and safety measures. The capitalists' methods were unfathomable. When they really needed to, they would do anything.

In the past, he moved from hotel to hotel and his whereabouts were unknown. Since the company was not listed, it was impossible to target him because it was difficult for capital interests to benefit by suppressing him.

Today, with the company's listing and the division in the choice of its shareholder lineup, this line is quite vague from the perspective of capital and is just a basic means.

How to control the masses in the face of a small number of powerful capitalists? It is to divide them into two opposing groups, so that they feel they have the opportunity to choose. This so-called freedom comes into being, and the choice is always limited.

Then, capital came up with a new trick and established a new middle class: the middle class, to isolate itself from the masses.

Think about it carefully, how many middle-class people really own production resources? There have been dogmas pointing out the difference in composition for a long time, but most people just laugh it off.

He Yuzhu had studied these seriously and knew that it was impossible to expect justice from the wearer.

The owner arrived soon and got straight to the point with his lawyer and agent. After many negotiations, the final price was set at US$6900 million, which was slightly lower than expected.

In addition to financial difficulties, the reason for selling the property is undoubtedly his great fortune that someone can provide cash at this moment.

The deal is done, the contract is established, and the payment is immediate.

The next steps included resuming construction site procedures. Considering the luxurious atmosphere of Beverly Hills, everything must be done in a low-key and quiet manner so as not to affect the neighborhood.

He Yuzhu had sufficient funds, so it was easy for him to carry out the demolition manually or to use large-scale machinery on time.

In just half a month, the demolition task was completed.
