Chapter 321 Equity Distribution
Liu Zhou knew that it would not be so easy for Han Shanping to come.

It's just to inform about the celebration banquet, a phone call will do, there's no need for him to come in person.

But since Han Shanping attaches so much importance to it, it seems that this matter should be very important to him.

"Boss Han, tell me what you want to say."

Han Shanping paused, organized his words and said:

“You should also know that after The Martian became a huge hit at the box office, companies like Huayi, Bona and even Emperor Entertainment Group are preparing to shoot science fiction films.

In any case, this is a good thing for domestic science fiction films, as it shows that science fiction films are no longer the type that are discarded by the bosses of these film and television companies in China.

But they also encountered a problem, that is, they had no experience in shooting science fiction films, and inviting foreign teams was too expensive.

So I would like to ask you to share your experience in filming science fiction movies, so that they can avoid taking detours. "

Liu Zhou thought it was something else, but it turned out to be just this.

Liu Zhou never thought of keeping his own stuff to himself. If anyone wanted to learn, he would be happy to give advice. After all, this is a good thing for domestic science fiction films.

The domestic science fiction film industry is not only short of money, but also short of people.

But for so long, no one except Zhang Yimou has come to him for advice on this matter.

Of course, maybe Liu Zhou is more than just a director, so most people don’t dare to come to him, or maybe they never think that Liu Zhou is willing to teach.

Now that Han Shanping has spoken, Liu Zhou will not refuse.

"No problem!" Liu Zhou then asked, "Have they looked for you?"

"No, but I think since they have this intention, we can't let them get discouraged. After all, if domestic science fiction films want to succeed, we can't do it alone. We also need the whole industry to contribute money and effort."

"Mr. Han, you are worthy of being the leader of China Film Group. You care a lot about our Chinese-language films." Liu Zhou said with a smile.

"Don't joke. Since there's no problem on your side, set a time to notify them to come over."

“Boss Han, if you want to share, then don’t just limit it to the people in those companies, expand the scale.

Any director who is interested in making science fiction films can participate, especially young directors, who have even greater potential.”

“Wouldn’t that be too many people?”

"Wouldn't it be better if we had more people? We are just short of people right now."

"Okay, since you have this intention and are not afraid of being tired, then I am more than happy to help you. If domestic science fiction movies really take off in the future, I think you will definitely be remembered in the history of Chinese movies."

"Boss Han, please stop flattering me."

"I'm not flattering you. In fact, we don't have to wait until later. Just based on your movie The Martian, you will definitely be mentioned when people talk about the history of Chinese films."

"If you keep saying that, I'm going to get carried away. But as promised, I'm only responsible for sharing. There are other trivial matters that need to be handled by you, including notifying other people."

"No problem, just tell me a time and I'll arrange it."

"Then let's do it in the middle of next month. We'll talk about the specific date then."

"Okay, I'll leave first and not bother you anymore."

After saying this, Han Shanping stood up and prepared to leave, but was stopped by Liu Zhou.

"Boss Han, I have something I want to ask you for help with."

"You said."

"Isn't it that Ning Hao's new movie No Man's Land is stuck? So I would like to ask you to help clear it up."

"what reason?"

"They say the whole film is full of bad guys, there are no good guys, it fails to convey positive ideas, the characters are too gray, and the tone of the story is too dark."

"This is a bit difficult to deal with. You should know that movies and TV series must have the correct orientation and promote correct values."

"I know. That's why I asked you, Mr. Han, for help because it's difficult to do. You can go and have a look. No Man's Land is a good movie. It can even be said to fill the gap in our domestic films in westerns."

"Okay, I'll go ask for you, but you have to put in some effort on your part as well."

"Of course, thank you, Mr. Han."

"Don't be so anxious to thank me. We don't know if it will work out in the end."

"Mr. Han, how can it not work if you take action?"

"Don't be so joking. I'm leaving now."

Liu Zhou breathed a sigh of relief until Han Shanping's figure disappeared.

When it comes to things like smoothing out relationships, only Han Shanping is better able to do it.

Not only does he have a wide network of contacts, but he is also able to accurately grasp the standards and criteria for audits.

With his participation, and Liu Zhou's support, "No Man's Land" should be able to be released after the ban is lifted. As for whether it will be banned again after September, it will not have much impact.

Two days later, on November 30, the top executives of Jiahe Group gathered in a small conference room at the group’s headquarters.

Zhang Zhao, group president and general manager of Golden Harvest Films Beijing Company, Gao Jun, group vice president and general manager of Golden Harvest Cinema Line and Golden Harvest International, and Zhong Lifang, former vice president of Golden Harvest Group.

As well as Golden Harvest Group's production director Chen Guofu, Golden Harvest Group's brokerage department head Zeng Jia, and Golden Harvest Films Hong Kong Company General Manager Zou Chongyan also rushed over from Hong Kong. There weren't many people, but they were all elite soldiers and strong generals.

It was these few people, together with Liu Zhou, who led the reorganized Golden Harvest to become the largest private film and television company in China in less than four years.

Seeing everyone's faintly excited expressions, Liu Zhou said with a smile:

“It’s a rare occasion for us all to gather together today, but we can talk about the past later. I asked you all to come here today, and I think you all know what’s going on.

Mr. Zhang has submitted the listing application of Golden Harvest Media Group to the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the Shanghai Stock Exchange, so our Golden Harvest Group has officially started the listing process. "

When Liu Zhou was planning to list Golden Harvest Group, he was struggling over whether to list Golden Harvest in Mainland China or in Hong Kong.

Golden Harvest was previously a Hong Kong company and was almost a household name in Hong Kong. However, after being acquired by Liu Zhou, it moved its headquarters to Beijing.

But this does not mean that the popularity of Golden Harvest Group in Hong Kong will decrease. After all, people don’t care much about where a company’s headquarters is.

Moreover, in recent years, Golden Harvest Group has produced several blockbuster movies, which has revived Golden Harvest's reputation in Hong Kong.

If Golden Harvest Group is re-listed on the Hong Kong stock market, the issued shares will surely be popular again.

Moreover, Hong Kong stocks are more in line with global financial capital, and Golden Harvest Group is also a global film company.

Therefore, listing Golden Harvest Group on the Hong Kong stock market seems to be a very good choice.

But in the future, the center of China's economy will be in the mainland, and the center of Chinese-language films will also be in the mainland.

Although Golden Harvest Group is targeting the global market, its base and focus are still the mainland film market.

So after careful consideration for a period of time, Liu Zhou decided to list Jiahe Group in the mainland.

Of course, there is another point. In the next few years, the cultural and entertainment industry will receive support from the state and will experience explosive development.

At the same time, mainland stock investors are more blind and more easily carried away.

Of course, Liu Zhou is not thinking about making money by taking advantage of the situation. He wants to run Jiahe Group well, and they can increase the market value of Jiahe Group to a greater extent.

Historically, when Huayi went public, its scale and revenue were much smaller than those of Golden Harvest today. However, at the beginning of its listing, mainland investors pulled its market value up to over 10 billion yuan.

Therefore, by listing in the mainland and with the support of a large number of shareholders, Golden Harvest Group will be able to achieve better development in the future.

However, Liu Zhou did not choose the Shenzhen Stock Exchange like Huayi, but chose the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

The former is more suitable for large companies with stable performance, while the latter is more suitable for small and medium-sized companies that are still developing.

Golden Harvest Group is now quite large. It not only has film and television businesses, but also fixed assets such as cinemas. It has also acquired Hollywood film companies.

In addition, in recent years, Jiahe Group has achieved very impressive revenue, which fully meets the listing conditions of the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

More importantly, the Shanghai Stock Exchange has stricter supervision, and Liu Zhou doesn't want Jiahe's stock to be tampered with by anyone.

Seeing that everyone was sitting upright, Liu Zhou continued:

“So the next step is to carry out share reform, which I think is what you care about most.

When I invited you to join Golden Harvest, I said that I would let you share the dividends of the company's growth and development, and now is the time for me to fulfill my promise."

Liu Zhou didn't say anything empty or keep people in suspense, he wanted to make sure what they were most concerned about.

At Liu Zhou's eye signal, Zhong Lifang took out a document.

At this time, everyone's eyes turned to Zhong Lifang, and she said slowly:
“Although Mr. Liu did not set up an option pool before, since Mr. Liu holds 100% of the shares of Jiahe Group, this did not have much impact.

And the ones who can enjoy the company's options are only the few people present here.

In order to reward everyone for their contribution to the development of the group, Mr. Liu also transferred part of the company's equity to everyone present free of charge.

However, half of the transferred equity is options, and the options can only be fully obtained after the company goes public and the employee has worked for three years.

Here are the shares they received:

former vice president Zhong Lifang, 5 percent;

Zhang Zhao, current group president, 5 percent;
Gao Jun, group vice president, 3 percent;
Zou Chongyan, general manager of Golden Harvest Hong Kong Company, 2.5 percent;
Group production director Chen Guofu: 2 percent;

Zeng Jia, head of the group’s brokerage department, 1.5 percent.

Do you have any objections to the above? "

After saying this, Zhong Lifang closed the document and looked at the people sitting there.

"Of course I have no objection. I would also like to thank Mr. Liu for helping me make money, haha!" Vice President Gao Jun said with a smile.

Then several other people echoed and said no.

Liu Zhou looked at everyone and saw that they were all delighted, his happiness was beyond words, it seemed that they really had no dissatisfaction.

In fact, they really have nothing to be dissatisfied with. Jiahe Group is no longer a small company.

Even though the shares given to them are only a few points, you have to know that if Jiahe were to go outside for financing now, the valuation would be over 10 billion.

One point is worth 100 million yuan, and it will be even more valuable after it goes public, not to mention that it was given to them free of charge by Liu Zhou.

Therefore, Liu Zhou did not treat them unfairly at all.
