The situation of public opinion is about to come, but there is no fear in the westero system.

At the beginning of March, Denise Entertainment Group officially launched the internal employee stock subscription plan. According to the position level and employment years, Denise entertainment employees will be able to subscribe for the corresponding amount of shares at the expected IPO price of 30%, 50% or 70%.

Amy Pascal and other management equity awards also began to cash.

After the stock subscription and the award, Denise Entertainment's employees will hold a total of about 8% of the group's shares, and plan to issue about 12% of the new shares in the IPO. At that time, Simon will still hold about 80% of Denise Entertainment's shares.

Not only that, Denise entertainment will also adopt a dual ownership structure this time.

Whether it's this employee subscription or the next IPO, what the outside world can get is class A shares with only one tenth of the voting rights of common shares. Correspondingly, westero company under Simon's name will hold class B shares with ten times the voting rights.

After the IPO, Simon, whose shareholding ratio has been reduced to 80%, will still retain more than 97% of the voting rights. Even after several expansions in the future, the Westeros family's shareholding in danielis Entertainment Group will drop to less than 50%, and the absolute control will not change.

Denise Entertainment Group's 1993 financial report was officially released in the middle of March, ignoring the ups and downs of the outside world. In order to build momentum for the upcoming IPO, the company continued to publish specific data on the igritte portal on March 15.

In 1993, compared with 12.7 billion US dollars in 1992, Denise Entertainment Group's total revenue increased by 35% to 17.1 billion US dollars, and its annual net profit was 2.27 billion US dollars, up 219% year on year.

Among them, the film business is still the core of danielis entertainment group, contributing more than half of the profits.

Driven by the strong film business, danilisi Entertainment's cinema line, theme park, consumer peripheral business have achieved excellent growth.

Robert egger's TV business also performed well. Reality shows and TV dramas on the public TV network worked together. The programs such as survivors and the story of Seinfeld have long been among the top ratings on the TV 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 successfully won all the shares of USA basic cable network, further completing the layout of Denise entertainment in the field of cable TV business.

In addition, Denise Entertainment Group's total liabilities increased slightly from $7.1 billion last year to $7.9 billion. However, even according to the IPO valuation of $40 billion, the debt ratio of $7.9 billion is only 19%, which is far lower than the average level of the same industry.

Even though it has been expected, danelis Entertainment Group's financial report in 1993 is still beyond many people's expectations.

Especially profits.

The annual net profit of $2.27 billion is almost equal to the total 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 danielis 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's not much market for similar questions.

Compared with Denise Entertainment's $17.1 billion revenue, the net profit margin is only 13.2%, which is not high in the 10% to 15% net profit range of Hollywood entertainment industry. As long as the future revenue scale of Denise entertainment will not shrink significantly, it is not difficult to maintain the profit level of 1993.

Will Denise Entertainment's revenue shrink?

Just look at the popular projects in the hands of this company, such as DC movie universe series, Pixar Animation Studio, Jurassic Park series and so on. This is unlikely to happen in the next three to five years at least.

However, another argument also began to rise. Some Wall Street analysts believe that the performance of danielis entertainment has peaked. Although it will not decline in the short term, it is not easy to improve it too much. Therefore, they are not optimistic about the long-term development prospects of this entertainment industry giant after it goes public.

After the release of similar views, it is inevitable to get a lot of recognition.

Then the spearhead also pointed to Denise Entertainment's expected IPO P / E ratio of about 20 times, which was obviously on the high side. Considering that the future performance growth of Denise entertainment group may slow down significantly, the real suitable IPO P / E ratio is about 10 to 15 times.

Simon's underwriting bottom line for Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs is the lowest IPO P / E ratio, no less than 20 times.

After the official financial report is released, according to the net profit scale of $2.27 billion, the revised accurate IPO valuation bottom line should be $45.4 billion.Simmons has no intention of making a concession to the high valuation of the club, which has exceeded the total scale of most of the world's corporate giants and can enter the market value of $50 billion with a slight rise after listing. This inevitably makes the capital from all walks of life who intend to subscribe feel unhappy. After all, the subscribers certainly hope that the lower the issue price of Denise Entertainment's shares, the better, so as to achieve profits Maximize.

This is the reason for the corresponding declamation.

Simon is not worried about that.

Most companies are IPO to raise the company's next development funds, so they are generally worried about failure, but Denise entertainment has no such worry. If it wasn't for the next expansion, Simon didn't need to put Denise entertainment on the market at all.

Therefore, even if the worst happens, the IPO failure will not cause too much damage to danielis entertainment. At most, it will only cause a loss of investment banking service fee.

What's more, although it is said that the valuation is on the high side, it is clear in the hearts of discerning people that among the IPO companies in recent years, there are not many companies with better quality than danielis entertainment stock. If there are, they are still Cisco, AOL and other new technology companies of westero system.

Moreover, even Cisco and AOL are still in the growth period of enterprises with variable development prospects. Both revenue and profit of danilisi entertainment have been very solid.

Malibu, daenerys studios.

It's Friday, March 18.

For the more sensitive employees within the westero system, the outside world is in turmoil, and there is no change around them.

Danielis studio recently upgraded its security again, with a significant increase in security personnel and monitoring facilities in the park. Similar to the terrace layout of the three story studio, the lowest floor is also the busiest studio area on weekdays, which has not changed much. Further up, the access control process of the office area on the second floor and the administrative area on the third floor has been strengthened, and visitors without appointment are not allowed to enter.

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

Only a few people know the truth.

A week ago, a young white man in his twenties suddenly drove into the area of domay point manor. However, as soon as he entered the building area outside the manor, he was found and stopped by the security guards. The young man found that he could not muddle through and directly used an automatic rifle to shoot at the security guards in the carriage.

Fortunately, the security team of domay point manor is not an ordinary security guard. They all have the background of special forces or secret service police. After entering the manor, they have to carry out at least two intensive security training every year to ensure that they will not slack off.

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

And a suicide note.

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

The gunfire led to the alarm of the surrounding residents and subsequent police questioning.

The matter was completely covered up by the domay point manor, only claiming that it was the family bodyguards who were practicing shooting. The two injured security guards were also secretly sent to the private hospital of the Westeros family for treatment.

The identity of the youth will be found out in an hour.

Simon personally led the family's intelligence team to search each other's apartment, but he didn't get anything, but he didn't give up.

Although he is not a conspiracy theorist, Simon never believes that something will happen for no reason, so he specially arranged two teams to investigate it carefully.

As for the young assassin, including the Chevy car that the other party broke into domay point manor, all disappeared.

All the insiders were given the strictest sealing orders.

It's not without a reason that top rich politicians have been kidnapped and assassinated far more than the public thinks, but few cases have been exposed. Because once this kind of thing is exposed, it is easy to attract imitators. There is no shortage of extreme people in this world.

After the incident, the security level of the Westeros family was upgraded, including the public areas where all the family members might appear.

She also helped Simon prepare a few sets of special bulletproof clothes and asked him to wear them in public. Simon joked that if he hit the head, it was useless to wear a bullet proof vest, and the female assistant cried on the spot.

Simon has never been afraid of death.

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

No.1 building of the cinema district.

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

During this period of time, in a series of lawsuits against many enterprises of westero system, Oracle's dispute with Informix and Sybase, two other competing database software companies, is quite noticeable.The response of westero system on igritte portal is quite firm, but in fact, if Oracle is really useless and unlikely, Larry Ellison has never been a regular businessman, otherwise he will not be able to send someone to turn over Microsoft's trash.

The brutal business competition, especially between the giants, can not tolerate the rules.

Simon doesn't have any objection to this. The key is that you have to be able to deal with the trouble. Today's meeting is for Ellison to personally explain to himself the inside story of the whole matter and the follow-up plan.

When Ellison leaves, girl a enters the office with her boss, holding some papers.

Simon turned to his desk and sat down, putting aside a play that had been unfolded.

Just glancing at it, girl a recognized that it was a new project, broken arrow, that MGM was brewing. However, the script had been delivered three days ago. According to her understanding of her boss's work habits, Simon should have read it in her spare time under normal circumstances. I don't know why she is still reading it.

"Broken arrow" is the latest work of Graham Jost, the screenwriter of "speed of life and death".

"Speed of life and death" is about to be released in this summer season, and the film has been completed. MGM team and Simon are very satisfied with the film. Shirley Lansing directly signed the new script of yoster.

The name "broken arrow" is actually a military term for the accidental loss of nuclear weapons in the U.S. military. The story of the script revolves around a nuclear weapon loss incident. In fact, there are many similar stories in Hollywood movies. Schwarzenegger also needs to deal with a nuclear explosion crisis in "true lies", which will be released in this summer release.

Soon put away some doubts in her mind, girl a handed Simon some papers in her arms and said, "boss, this is the file of the candidates for the westrow system in the recent United States from Greenwich. Mr. schrap picked out 23 people, including 7 Democrats and 16 Republicans. There are three candidates for the Senate, two in office, 20 candidates for the house of Representatives and 16 in office. "

Simon listened to Alison's brief and opened the first folder. First of all, it was the list of 23 candidates.

In Connecticut, the democratic representative David Merlot, who is supported by the Hurst family behind the scenes and has been fighting against the westrow system, is in a very prominent position. Democratic Senator Craig Ames of Wisconsin, who proposed an asset tax, was at the top of the list.

David Merlot and Craig Ames are two of the most active politicians in the westrow system recently.

Ironically, both are Democrats backed by the westrow system.

By contrast, most of the Republicans who are against the westrow system are not very enthusiastic.

Simon's only relief is that in this list, the number of Republicans is more than twice that of Democrats, and the huge political capital investment of the westero system in recent years has not been fed to the white eyed wolf in vain.

At the back of the list are detailed information of 23 members, including their political histories and recent comments on the westero system.

Simon glanced and gestured to girl a, and Alison continued: "there is also a file below, which is about the main competitors of 23 candidates for the Senate. Then there is Paul Spitz, a 37 year old man from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, who graduated from the University of Wisconsin and graduated from the University of Wisconsin As the head of the political lobbying Department of Verizon Telecom and the political action committee affiliated to the company, he worked in Milwaukee for 10 years and was very familiar with the local political and economic environment. "

In the face of recent attacks from the media and politicians, the westero system will certainly not remain indifferent.

Simon personally led the development of a "sniper plan" to select some candidates for the westrow system to carry out a "precision strike" so as to set an example to others.
