The public opinion situation is about to come, but there is no trepidation inside the Westeros system as imagined by the outside world.

At the beginning of March, Daenerys Entertainment Group officially launched the internal employee stock subscription plan. According to different job levels and years of employment, Daenerys Entertainment employees will be able to subscribe at 30%, 50% or 30% off the estimated IPO issue price. amount of stock.

Equity awards from management such as Amy Pascal have also begun to cash out.

After the stock subscription and reward cashing, employees of Daenerys Entertainment will hold a total of about 8% of the group's stock, and the planned IPO issue of new shares will be about 12%. At that time, Simon will still hold Daenerys. About 80% of the entertainment group's stock.

Not only that, Daenerys Entertainment will also adopt a dual-class share structure this time.

Whether it is this employee subscription or the next IPO, what the outside world can get are Class A shares with only one-tenth of the voting rights of ordinary shares. Correspondingly, Westeros Company under Simon's name will hold ten times as much. Class B shares with voting rights.

After calculation, Simon, whose shareholding ratio is reduced to 80% after the IPO, will still retain more than 97% of the voting rights. Even if after many expansions in the future, the Westeros family's shareholding in Daenerys Entertainment Group drops to less than 50%, the absolute control will still not change.

Daenerys Entertainment Group's 1993 financial report was also officially released in mid-March, ignoring the ups and downs of the outside world, in order to build momentum for the upcoming IPO, the company continued to announce specific details on the Igret portal on March 15. data.

Throughout 1993, Daenerys Entertainment Group's total revenue increased by 35% to US$17.1 billion compared with US$12.7 billion in 1992, and its net profit for the year was US$2.27 billion, a year-on-year increase of 219%.

Among them, the film business is still the core of Daenerys Entertainment Group, contributing more than half of the profits.

Driven by the strong movie business, Daenerys Entertainment's cinema chain, theme parks, consumer peripherals and other businesses have achieved outstanding growth.

Robert Iger's television business has also performed well, with PBS's reality show and TV series, "Survivor," "Seinfeld," and other shows that have long been among the top ratings on the network. Fashion TV, a professional fashion TV station launched last year, has been launched in many countries around the world. At the same time, it has also successfully won all the shares of the usa basic cable network, further completing the layout of Daenerys Entertainment in the cable TV business field.

In addition, Daenerys Entertainment Group's total liabilities rose slightly to $7.9 billion compared to last year's $7.1 billion. However, even if calculated according to the IPO valuation of 40 billion US dollars, the debt of 7.9 billion US dollars is only equivalent to a debt ratio of 19%, which is far lower than the average level of the same industry.

Even with expectations, Daenerys Entertainment Group's 1993 financial report exceeded many expectations.

Especially profit.

The net profit of $2.27 billion for the whole year is almost equal to the combined profits of the other six major Hollywood studios.

Of course there are doubts.

Many professional media and Wall Street analysts believe that this financial report of Daenerys Entertainment is specially "tailored" for this year's IPO, and it may not be able to achieve such excellent profits after listing.

It's just that there is not much market for similar doubts.

Net profit of $2.27 billion, compared to Daenerys Entertainment’s $17.1 billion in revenue, the net profit margin is actually only 13.2%, which is not high in the Hollywood entertainment industry’s general net profit range of 10% to 15% . As long as Daenerys Entertainment's revenue scale does not shrink significantly in the future, it is not difficult to maintain the profit level of 1993.

Will Daenerys Entertainment Group's revenue performance shrink?

Just looking at the DC Cinematic Universe series, Pixar Animation Studios, Jurassic Park series and other popular projects in the hands of this company, this is unlikely to happen for at least the next three to five years.

However, another argument also began to emerge immediately. Some Wall Street analysts believe that Daenerys Entertainment's performance has peaked. Although it will not decline in the short term, it is not easy to make a big improvement. I am optimistic about the long-term development prospects of this entertainment industry giant after its listing.

Similar views inevitably gained a lot of approval after they were published.

Immediately, the spear also pointed to Daenerys Entertainment's estimated IPO price-earnings ratio of about 20 times, thinking that this figure was significantly high. Considering that Daenerys Entertainment Group's future performance growth may slow down significantly, the real appropriate IPO price-earnings ratio is probably between 10 and 15 times.

Simon's stock underwriting bottom line for Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs is a minimum IPO price-earnings ratio of not less than 20 times.

After the official financial report is released, according to the net profit scale of 2.27 billion US dollars, the revised bottom line of the accurate IPO valuation should be 45.4 billion US dollars.

For this high valuation that has exceeded the total scale of most corporate giants in the world, and can enter the club with a market value of 50 billion US dollars after listing, Simon does not intend to make any concessions, which will inevitably attract capital from all walks of life who are interested in subscribing. Feeling unhappy, after all, subscribers must hope that the lower the issue price of Daenerys Entertainment's stock, the better, so as to maximize profits.

Corresponding bad-mouthing is also because of this

pregnancy.

Simon wasn't worried about that.

Most companies conduct IPOs to raise funds for the company's next development, so they are generally worried about failure, but Daenerys Entertainment has no such worries. If it wasn't for the next expansion, Simon wouldn't need to list Daenerys Entertainment at all.

Therefore, even if the worst happens and the IPO fails, it will not actually cause much harm to Daenerys Entertainment. At most, it will only lose an investment bank service fee.

What's more, it is said that the valuation is too high, but the discerning person knows in his heart that among the IPO companies in recent years, there are not many companies that can outperform Daenerys Entertainment's stock. If there is, it is basically Wester. Cisco, America Online and other new technology companies in Los Angeles.

Moreover, even Cisco and America Online are still in the growth stage of companies with uncertain development prospects, and Daenerys Entertainment has been very solid in terms of revenue and profit.

Malibu, Daenerys Studios.

The time is Friday, March 18th.

For the more sensitive employees in the Westeros system, the outside world is turbulent, and the surrounding is not unchanged.

Daenerys Studios has recently upgraded its security again, and the number of security personnel and monitoring facilities in the park has increased significantly. A three-story studio with a terraced layout, the lowest floor is also the busiest studio area on weekdays. There is little change in the studio area. Further up, the office area on the second floor and the administrative area on the third floor have all enhanced access control procedures without reservation. Visitors are not allowed to enter.

As for the reason, most people who feel this point believe that it is the instinctive reaction of their bosses under the pressure of external public opinion.

The truth is only known to very few people.

A week ago, a white young man in his twenties suddenly drove into the area of ​​Dumeijia Manor, but he was discovered and stopped by security as soon as he entered the building area outside the manor. Security shooting.

Fortunately, the security team of Dumeijia Manor is not an ordinary security guard. They basically have the background of special forces or special police officers. After joining the job, they must conduct at least two security intensive trainings every year to ensure that they will not slack off.

Therefore, when the two security guards were caught off guard, one of them still quickly took out his gun and counterattacked. The two shots accurately hit the youth's head and heart through the car door. The other security guards who found the situation arrived within 1 minute. , found two rifles, a large number of magazines and five grenades in the deceased youth carriage.

and a suicide note.

The young man stated in his suicide note that he would kill all Westeros, so that all the wealth of the sinful Westeros family would return to society.

The sound of gunfire drew calls from surrounding residents and subsequent police questioning.

The matter was completely covered up by Dumeijia Manor, but it was claimed that the family bodyguards were practicing marksmanship, and the two injured security guards were also secretly sent to the private hospital of the Westeros family for treatment.

The identity of the youth was ascertained within an hour.

Simon personally led the family's intelligence team to search the other party's apartment, but there was no gain for the time being, but he did not give up.

Although not a conspiracy theorist, Simon never believed that something would happen for no reason, so two teams were specially arranged to track it down carefully.

As for the young assassin, including the Chevrolet sedan that the other party broke into the Dumeijia Manor, all disappeared.

All insiders have been issued the strictest gag order.

It's not without reason that top wealthy politicians have been kidnapped and assassinated far more than the public thinks, and few cases have been exposed. Because once this kind of thing is exposed, it is easy to attract imitators, and there is never a shortage of extreme people in the world.

After the incident, the security level of the Westeros family was increased across the board, including public areas where everyone in the family may appear.

With lingering fears, Jennifer also prepared several sets of special body armor for Simon and asked him to wear it in public. Simon joked that it would be useless to wear body armor if it hits the head, and the female assistant cried on the spot.

In two lifetimes, Simon has never been very afraid of death.

Now, I only worry that people around me will be hurt because of myself. Therefore, if a choice is required, he will not hesitate to strike first.

Building 1, Studio Administrative District.

Larry Ellison and Simon walked out of the office together, and finally promised a few words. Ellison didn't forget to nod to the girl outside, and Ellison turned and left.

Oracle's dispute with two other rival database software companies, informix and sybase, has been the focus of a string of lawsuits against various companies in the Westeros system during this period.

The Westeros system's response to the Igreit portal has been quite firm, but the truth is, if Oracle is truly useless and unlikely at all, Larry Ellison was never one. A well-behaved businessman, otherwise he wouldn't be able to send someone to rummage through Microsoft's trash can.

Cruel business competition, especially between giants and giants, actually cannot tolerate conforming to the rules.

Simon has no problem with that, the point is that you have to be able to deal with it when it comes up. Today's meeting is for Ellison to explain to himself the inside story of the whole thing and the follow-up plan.

After Ellison left, Lady A followed her boss into the office with some documents.

Simon turned to his desk and sat down, and put away a script that had been spread out.

Just a glance, a girl recognizes this is MGM brewing

of a new project, Broken Arrow. It's just that the script was delivered three days ago. According to her understanding of her boss's work habits, Simon should have finished reading it in her spare time under normal circumstances, and I don't know why she is still reading it.

"Broken Arrow" is the latest work from "Speed ​​of Life" screenwriter Graham Yost.

"Speed ​​of Life and Death" is about to be released this summer. The film has now completed its final stage. Both the MGM team and Simon himself are very satisfied with the finished film. Shirley Lansing directly signed Yost's new script.

The name 'Broken Arrow' is actually a military term for the accidental abandonment of nuclear weapons in the U.S. military, and the story of the script revolves around the loss of a nuclear weapon. There are actually many similar stories in Hollywood movies. In the upcoming "True Lies", which will be released this summer, Schwarzenegger also needs to deal with a nuclear explosion crisis in the film.

Quickly putting away some small doubts in her mind, Lady A handed several documents in her arms to Simon, and said, "Boss, this is a recent member of Congress from Greenwich who is targeting the Westeros system in various states of the United States. In the candidate file, Mr. Schlapp singled out a total of 23 candidates, including 7 Democrats and 16 Republicans. Among them, there are 3 Senate candidates, 2 in office, 20 House candidates, 16 in office."

Simon listened to Alison's brief description and opened the first folder. The first thing was the list of 23 candidates for Congress.

Connecticut is backed by the Hearst family behind the scenes, and Democratic Rep. David Melrose, who has always been a tit-for-tat with the Westeros system, is in a very conspicuous position. Democratic Senator Craig Ames of Wisconsin, who has proposed a 'property tax', ranks high.

David Melrose and Craig Eames, the two most active politicians against the Westeros system in recent times.

It is a little ironic that both are part of the Democratic Party supported by the Westeros system.

By contrast, most Republicans targeting the Westeros system have less violent views.

The only thing that makes Simon a little relieved is that in this list, there are more than twice as many Republicans as Democrats. Finally, the huge political capital investment of the Westeros system in recent years has not been fed to the white-eyed wolf in vain.

The list is followed by detailed information on the 23 MPs, including political résumés and a combination of recent comments on the Westeros system.

Simon looked over and made a gesture to Girl A, and Alison continued: "There is also a file below, which is the main competitors of 23 congressional candidates, and then there is Wisconsin recommended by Mr. Schlapp. The head of the state sniper team, named Paul Spaihts, 37 years old, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, graduated from the University of Wisconsin, originally served as the head of Verizon Telecom's political lobbying department and corporate affiliated political action committee, and was in Milwaukee in his early years. Engaged in various political lobbying-related work for ten years, and is very familiar with the local political and economic environment.”

The Westeros system certainly will not remain indifferent in the face of recent attacks from the media and politicians.

Simon personally led the formulation of a 'sniper plan', intending to select a part of the congressional candidates for the Westeros system to carry out 'precision strikes' in order to achieve the effect of killing chickens and warning monkeys.
