The Best Entertainment Era

Ringing the bell and listing means that the stock of Netflix Network has officially entered the circulation market. In the New York Stock Exchange market, countless buy orders are immediately hung up.

Since the official opening of the market, Netflix has been all green, and its stock price has also risen step by step.

As an Internet company, Netflix, Ronan, Robert Iger and Mark Randolph accepted the advice of Goldman Sachs, and finally adopted the IPO fundraising ratio commonly used by Internet companies.

In this public listing, Netflix will hold 15% of its shares in the market, and the final single share price will be US$130, with plans to raise US$6 billion.

Compared with last year's Google, Netflix, which has many industry-leading businesses, has an initial stock price that is half as much.

Even so, investors remain enthusiastic.

Crazy, to be exact.

The bell rang, and Netflix was listed on Nasdaq with a market capitalization of $41 billion.

Netflix is ​​directly oriented to users, and has never taken a cold route. The road show and various interactive promotions are quite in place. The outside world is also unanimously optimistic about the future of Netflix.

Amid countless buy orders, Netflix's stock price quickly rose to $132.

Netflix, which owns the four ace businesses of DVD online rental and sales, personal video interaction, social networking and online streaming media, has a high starting point in the capital market.

This is the Internet, an industry that creates wealth myths.

After Netflix’s listing, except for the small portion of equity held by the original Netflix management, the equity rewards of the group company brought about by the listing and part of the employee’s shareholding as incentives, etc., the Netflix’s equity directly controlled by Relativity Entertainment , still as high as 77%.

Ronan still holds absolute control and decision-making power over the Netflix network.

In fact, this also meets the needs of investors.

One of the conditions for major investors to invest in Netflix is ​​that Ronan must serve as the chairman of the board of directors of Netflix Network.

If you want to go public, you must comply with various relevant regulations, and the dispersion of equity is inevitable.

listed,

It also means that Netflix must set up a board of directors.

Ronan is of course the best candidate for the chairman of the board of directors. Mark Randolph will continue to serve as the CEO. Although Robert Iger has become a minority shareholder of Netflix because of option awards, he has completely withdrawn from Netflix's business.

After Netflix goes public, Robert Iger's energy will all be transferred to the expansion of Relativity Entertainment.

Amid the applause, Ronan, Robert Iger, and Mark Randolph came in front of many media reporters. As if they had a tacit understanding, the reporters quickly divided into three parts and surrounded them heavily.

Among them, the number of reporters surrounding Ronan was the largest.

Many people have seen Netflix's stock price and Netflix's market value, and they all understand one thing. The young man standing in front of them is now a real billionaire.

The questioning started quickly. Under the maintenance of the on-site security personnel, and those who can enter the NYSE are senior current affairs or financial reporters, the order has always been good.

A reporter from the Los Angeles Times was the first to ask: Mr. Anderson, do you know that the moment you ring the bell on the New York Stock Exchange, you become a billionaire and one of the ten richest people in the United States.

Ronan deliberately said: I knew this a long time ago. You have been hyping it up for too long, so I have sufficient psychological preparations, so I can't feel any surprise.

After speaking, the people nearby laughed, and the atmosphere seemed particularly harmonious.

An older reporter said, Can you tell me how it feels to be a billionaire?

Ronan also replied with a relaxed attitude: The next time I go to see Steve Jobs, I guess Steve Jobs will not hide in India again.

This remark caused good-natured laughter from the surroundings.

A middle-aged reporter from the Wall Street Journal asked at this time: Mr. Anderson, it is very easy for Netflix to successfully go public. We all know that Netflix has encountered many difficulties along the way. Now under your leadership, Netflix has overcome many difficulties and achieved success, can you tell us how you feel?

Ronan put away his smile and put on a serious face. The words of some giants suddenly flashed in his mind, saying: Netflix has been working hard in the past. It is not easy to achieve today's phased success. Tomorrow will face more difficulties. , but I believe that, just like the current success, Netflix's future is infinitely brighter!

At this moment, Ronan stood here, not representing himself, but the spokesperson of the entire Netflix, and even the entire Relativity Entertainment.

There are some things that he needs to say, and he must say.

Ronan continued: Today is a milestone moment for Netflix. I believe that this day, including what happened on this day, will be remembered by everyone at Netflix. Netflix is ​​a very lucky company. Luck comes from customers, it also comes from the Internet, and it comes from the efforts of everyone at Netflix.”

Everyone kept quiet, quietly listening to every word Ronan said.

The same words are dismissed from the mouths of ordinary people, but they are wise words when they are spoken from the mouth of a tens of billionaires.

Today, Netflix is ​​raising money from investors all over the world, and its financing has already achieved initial success. Netflix wants to maintain its success. Ronan said in a very elegant way: What Netflix has raised is not capital, but countless trusts. , It is the trust of everyone in Netflix! The trust of customers! The trust of the market! The trust of investors! Netflix will be worthy of every trust, so that everyone who trusts Netflix will be rewarded!

After the words fell, there was another applause at the scene.

In this day and age, chicken soup is still very popular. At such an important moment, Ronan decisively used the chicken soup of a certain big shot to water Netflix's market.

Judging from the response at the scene, the effect is quite good.

Of course, depending on who said this kind of words, the response was completely different.

Ordinary people say it, that is called rhetoric.

What comes out of the mouths of tens of billionaires is called inspiration and success learning!

After the applause subsided, another reporter asked: Mr. Anderson, you already have a net worth of tens of billions. Do you have goals and plans for the future?

Ronan thought for a while and said, Of course. It can be roughly divided into two parts, one is to continue my career; the other is to help some people who are in urgent need of help.

Netflix has already been listed, and Ronan has to think about the next plan, saying: For example, help people with ALS like Tom Cruise, and participate in more charities.

This is also one of Regal's biggest labels and personalities.

The biggest advantage is not to earn a good reputation, but to avoid tax reasonably and legally, without worrying about the IRS looking for trouble.

The topic touched on charity and people with ALS, and the collaborator who had been ambushing among the reporters took the opportunity to say, Mr. Anderson, I heard that you have donated millions of dollars to the people with ALS?

Ronan said solemnly: There will be more charitable donations and activities in the future. I hope everyone can pay attention, participate, and help those who are in urgent need of help as much as possible.

Can you tell me more about it? It was still the reporter.

Ronan said: Please pay attention to the Netflix sharing of Tom Cruise and the ALS Charitable Foundation. I heard that Tom Cruise is going to launch a new charity plan to help the ALS community.

All these words were recorded by the reporter.

Netflix is ​​already the largest social network media in the world. After the Los Angeles Times, most medium and large media with a certain reputation in the United States have also opened official authentication accounts on Netflix.

The Internet age has arrived, and those who do not take the initiative to adapt are doomed to gradually fall behind this era.

After the brief media interview, Ronan joined Robert Iger and Mark Randolph, left the New York Stock Exchange, and came to Goldman Sachs headquarters, where he had a brief meeting with the Goldman Sachs team headed by Lloyd Blankfein. talks.

Netflix successfully went public and raised billions of dollars. It is undoubtedly the biggest winner of this IPO.

As the actual middleman, Goldman Sachs also received hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation.

It was a successful collaboration.

At the end of the discussion, Lloyd Blankfein shook hands with Ronan: Goldman Sachs is witnessing the rise of a great company.

Ronan also said politely: Goldman Sachs helped Netflix take a very critical step.

Lloyd Blankfein said with a smile: Hopefully we will always be partners in the future.

Ronan also laughed: Yes.

Lloyd Blankfein added: I have inquired that the well-known investor and billionaire Ryan Kavanaugh has persuaded many Wall Street investment institutions to raise a total of nearly US$1 billion. , ready to enter Hollywood in an all-round way and expand the territory in the film and television production industry.

It's about getting ready to take the cake with traditional Hollywood companies, Ronan said.

Lloyd Blankfein nodded slowly: Any ambitious ambition must be supported by huge funds. Ryan Kavanaugh has financing channels, and he may fully enter Hollywood as soon as this year.

Ronan laughed: As far as Relativity Entertainment is concerned, welcome a new colleague to Hollywood.

At present, the solidification of Hollywood distribution channels is becoming more and more serious. New companies want to develop new distribution channels, and they spend far more time and energy than expected. Even if Ryan Kavanaugh originally worked as a producer in Hollywood, there is no way Get your own distribution channels.

Without their own distribution channels, new companies will inevitably be firmly suppressed by established forces.

On the way back to the hotel after leaving the Goldman Sachs headquarters, Ronan also exchanged views with Robert Iger on the news. Even if he enters Hollywood with $1 billion, it will be difficult for new forces to threaten the inherent structure of Hollywood within a few years.

In the afternoon, the Nasdaq closed, and Netflix’s stock price rose all the way, and the single stock price stayed at $141 that day.

The successful financing of Netflix Network has obtained key funds for continued expansion and development, as well as a broader platform that investors can bring.

But if Netflix's stock price wants to rise steadily, the market also needs stimulus.
