Hollywood starts with animation

Chapter 308: Allotment to Executives

"what?"

Steven Sollenberg's eyes widened: "Boss, you just said that you will allocate shares to us and plan to list Water World Animation. Is this true?"

At this moment, whether it is Stephen Solenberg or David Messer and other water world animation executives, they feel breathing heavier and adrenal hormones increase.

Allotment?

Listed?

This is a matter of self-interest, and no one can keep calm.

Zhu Ke said with a smile: "A year ago, I made a promise that as long as the benefits of Water World Animation are good, I can allocate shares to you, or even give you a part of the shares for free. It is not impossible."

Hearing this, everyone nodded heavily.

"Also, when Water World Animation was founded, I warned you that our goal is Pixar Animation, and the listing is only a small step for now." Zhu Ke bewitched.

"......"

Everyone present did not speak, but from their clenched fists, it was enough to see their excitement at the moment.

Check it out, man!

In 1995, when Pixar Animation went public, it not only brought Jobs, who had fallen to the bottom, back to the top; it also created 6 multi-millionaires, 13 millionaires, and hundreds of ordinary Pixar animation workers, all of whom were worth dozens of Ten thousand dollars in shares.

As a worker in the animation field, Pixar's impressive record and wealth myth are the common pursuit of people in this industry!

"Can our company go public?"

"Will I become a shareholder of Water World Animation?"

"I want to get rich?"

Stephen Solenberg, David Messer, and others, only felt excited, but their heads were a little dizzy.

It was Zhu Ke's words that were so sudden that they caught them off guard!

"Everyone, not just the Water World Animation Company, but other subsidiaries of the Golden Dawn Entertainment Group, Wald Pictures, SpongeBob SquarePants House, Golden Dawn Music, and Golden Dawn Publishing...In the near future, as long as If you make a contribution, I will never be stingy with option rewards."

"Remember, this is my promise to you, Zhuke Wald!"

Can dreams be eaten?

Can't!

Only with real benefits can we retain talent!

If you don't give options, you can't keep the talents at the top!

David Messer was once a member of Pixar Animation. Because of his qualifications, he only obtained less than $100,000 worth of shares after Pixar went public. Even if he could develop well at Pixar, he threw an olive branch in Zhuke. Later, he was very happy to join.

why?

It's all because of profit.

Zhuke doesn't deny that there are dreams in it, but...people have to eat and live after all.

But Zhu Ke has always believed in one thing: "Shares and options are not available to everyone, but as long as you have the ability, I will never be stingy."

Of course, Zhuke will not give them too many shares this time.

15%!

This time, Zhu Ke will take out 15% of the shares of Water World Animation Company.

Among them, 12% of the shares are used for listing and allotment.

Remember it is allotment!

The so-called allotment-it is for them to spend money to buy.

Of course, they will not lose.

"We can naturally accept this."

Stephen Solenberg laughed: "Think about Pixar Animation. After their employees spend money on allotment shares, once the company goes public, which one is not earning, the net worth has doubled several times."

In 1995, before Pixar Animation went public, the allotment to employees was 7 US dollars per share. However, on the first day of Pixar’s listing, the Nasdaq closed, and the share price per share soared to 31 US dollars, a full multiple.

Pixar's John Lasseter, Andrew Stanton and others, which one is not a profitable one?!

The other 3% of the 15% shares are not within the scope of the allotment.

Zhu Ke will use 3% of the shares to give and reward people who have made outstanding contributions to Water World Animation, such as CEO Victor, TV Group's Donna and other group executives.

.......

The next day.

When everyone in Water World Animation was still immersed in the carnival of shares and listing, Zhu Ke was also discussing the specific details of allotment with Zhang Wei, Anna, and other assistant teams.

"Boss, the company is listed on the U.S. stock market. Two requirements are crucial!"

"First, the company's financial reports over the past three years have been profitable, and there are certain requirements for the company's total assets."

"Of course, this is not a problem at all for our water world animation."

Zhang Wei talked freely.

Zhuke nodded and smiled: "You are right. The profit requirement is never a problem for Water World Animation."

Sitting on "SpongeBob SquarePants" and "Peppa Pig" two major animated series, plus the recent hits and box office sales of "Finding Nemo".

The three-year financial report of Water World Animation is simply not too beautiful!

"Secondly, the company must have more than 300 shareholders."

"Boss, since you have decided to use 12% of the shares for listing and allotment of shares and 3% of the shares for option rewards to the senior executives of the entire group, the requirement for the number of shareholders of 300 or more is not a problem as long as you plan properly."

"As for the 12% shares used for listing and allotment, the specific price per share and the listing price need to be assessed by a professional organization. I cannot make an estimate."

Zhang Wei said solemnly.

Anna, the chief consultant of the private financial team, said: "Professional rating agencies and listing undertaking agencies, I think Citi, Goldman Sachs, Morgan and other investment banks will never refuse your request."

"Yes."

Zhu Ke laughed and said: "These people are all dog-nosed. Not long after I let out the wind, I received multiple calls this morning, all wanting to undertake the financing of the listing of our Water World Animation."

At the same time, when Water World Animation is listed, Zhu Ke will also release part of its shares for market circulation.

In the following time...

Zhu Ke, Zhang Wei, Anna and others had further discussions on issues such as the shares and option awards for allotment.

For example: the restricted period of free trading of options, the trading partner...

The allotment shares granted by the company to employees is not entirely yours after you buy it, and requires a certain working life requirement.

As soon as your front foot allotment is completed, you sell your shares on the back foot and leave Water World Animation. Isn’t Zhu Ke losing a lot?

Everyone is not a fool and a fool!

Therefore, it is not just Zhu Ke, every company in the world has imposed many restrictions on the number of years of free trading in the requirements of listing and allotment.

You must have the ability to get shares and options!

Like Zhang Wei, Barrister Zhang, although he has known Zhu Ke for a long time and has worked for Zhu Ke for many years, his role is not irreplaceable, so it is impossible for him to get options and shares.

CEO Victor is different!

He has been the No. 1 general under Zhuke for many years. If he can't get the option award, then no one will dare to slap his chest and say that he is more qualified.

"Even if I stingy again, I know that talents are going to win over and win over!" Zhu Ke was a little cautious in his grandeur.

The development of the company to a certain extent, granting important employees shares, is the inevitable result of the company's development.

Well, stingy people are always stingy!

Zhuke had been distressed for several days, had a few big meals, and slept with a few beautiful girls before he came back.

It will take some time for the Water World Animation to go public.

Of course, Zhu Ke is not very anxious, after all, the situation of Water World Animation is completely different from the predicament before Pixar's launch.

Water World Animation is not short of money!
