"Golden Harvest's stock was very popular, with the share price rising 75% at the opening and quadrupling at the closing. The market value of Golden Harvest Group exceeded 50 billion, making it a giant company in China."

"A feast of wealth! Jiahe's stock price soared after its IPO, Liu Zhou's net worth soared by 20 billion, and twelve billionaires and nearly twenty multi-millionaires were born!"

"There is no doubt that Liu Zhou will be crowned the richest man in mainland China this year!"

"According to Yu Dong, chairman of Bona, the company plans to go public in the United States next year. Bona is expected to become the first cultural industry U.S. stock in China!"

"Enlight Media Chairman Wang Changtian said that he will soon submit materials to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and officially launch the listing plan!"

……

As the first listed film and television entertainment company in mainland China, Golden Harvest Group has been the focus of discussion among the media and netizens in recent times.

This is not just a matter of the entertainment industry. Social, financial, lifestyle and other media have also reported on Golden Harvest's listing.

China's well-known financial media, China Business News, published the news of Jiahe's listing on the front page, and a special columnist commented:
"Golden Harvest Group is a long-established film and television company in Hong Kong. It witnessed all the glory of Hong Kong films, but eventually it also sank with the decline of Hong Kong films.

In 2005, Liu Zhou, who was then a well-known director and investor, acquired Golden Harvest Group in full. It was also under Liu Zhou's leadership that Golden Harvest Group began its rebirth.

In just four years, the development of Golden Harvest Group has exceeded everyone's expectations, from HK$800 million when Liu Zhou acquired it to a market value of more than RMB 50 billion after its relisting.

We have to admire Liu Zhou's excellent vision and outstanding management ability, but we also cannot ignore the domestic film and television industry market size which has been skyrocketing year after year.

The successful listing of Golden Harvest indicates that the film and television industry is about to usher in great development.

Golden Harvest is the first one, and I believe that there will be more and more film and television companies going public in the future.

Therefore, the film and television industry is an extremely promising industry in China and will also be a good investment direction.”

In addition to the endless reports by financial media, some state-run newspapers also focused on Jiahe's listing. A senior reporter from the China Youth Daily, who has always had a close relationship with Liu Zhou, wrote:
"From a student at the Chinese Academy of Drama, to the second richest man in China, and now leading a company that has hit rock bottom to go public again.

Liu Zhou achieved such outstanding achievements step by step with his talents.

Golden Harvest Group went public, its stock price soared, and Liu Zhou’s wealth increased greatly, but the more significant significance was that it opened up the fast lane for the rapid development of the entertainment industry.

As people's living standards continue to improve, the demand for entertainment will also increase.

From the success of Golden Harvest Group’s IPO, we can see that the entertainment industry has great potential in the future.”

Compared with major newspapers and financial newspapers, more reports are published on the significance of Golden Harvest Group as the first stock in the film and television industry and its impact on the entire industry.

The entertainment media mainly reported on the impact of Golden Harvest's listing on the industry and the wealth issue that everyone was most concerned about.

Among them, Sina.com acted the fastest. On the day when Golden Harvest went public, after the stock market closed, it immediately listed in detail some people whose net worth increased significantly through the listing of Golden Harvest Group.

“Today, China’s largest film and television company, Golden Harvest Group, was listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, becoming the first listed film and television culture company in China.

According to the announcement before the listing, the total share capital of Jiahe Group was 3 billion shares, with an issue price of four yuan. It saw a sharp rise at the opening, and the first stock transaction was completed at a price of six and eighty yuan.

The stock price then continued to rise, reaching a high of 28.2 yuan. Although it fell back afterwards, it still closed at 17.6 yuan.

The market value of Golden Harvest Group also soared to 4.4 billion, a full times increase compared to the market value of billion before its listing.

The successful listing of Golden Harvest Group has greatly increased the visibility of the domestic film and television industry, and it can be said that it has played a very significant role in promoting the development of the industry.

However, let’s not talk about the impact on the industry for now. Today, let’s first look at how Golden Harvest’s listing created several billionaires and several multi-millionaires.

The first one is of course Liu Zhou. As the largest shareholder of Golden Harvest Group, he holds 38.75% of the shares after listing, worth 202 billion.

With his wealth increasing by another 20 billion, Liu Zhou should have firmly secured the title of mainland's richest man this year.

Next is CITIC Group, which originally acquired 8.64% of Golden Harvest's shares for 31.68 million yuan. Now after the dilution after the listing, it still owns %, worth billion yuan, a direct profit of billion yuan.

Moreover, Jiahe's stock price will continue to rise in the future. CITIC Group has undoubtedly made an extremely successful investment.

The same is true for China Film, which acquired 2.16% of Golden Harvest's shares for 1.5 million yuan. After the listing, it still held 7.92%, worth 5.76 million yuan, and made a huge profit of million yuan.

However, when China Film invested in Golden Harvest, making money was secondary; strengthening the communication and cooperation between the two companies was the main focus.

In addition to these two shareholders introduced due to the share reform, there are two investment institutions that have been suspected of being Liu Zhou's shell companies, Tong'an Capital and Liyu Investment.

The two investment companies each hold 7.5% of Golden Harvest's shares, leaving 39.6% after dilution, worth billion.

Apart from the above four companies, the rest of Golden Harvest are individual shareholders, all of whom are the current top management or former management of Golden Harvest.

It can be said that Chairman Liu Zhouliu is very courageous. The shares allocated to the company's senior executives add up to as much as 19%.

Among them, Zhong Lifang, the former president of Golden Harvest Group, current director and senior vice president of Sina Group, holds 15.84%, and after the listing dilution, there is a remaining %, worth billion.

Zhang Zhao, the current president of Golden Harvest Group, also owns 15.84% of the shares and holds shares worth billion after the listing.

Gao Jun, currently the vice president of Golden Harvest Group and the general manager of distribution and cinema chains, holds 2.25% of the shares, which is 11.88% after dilution, worth billion.

Zou Chongyan, the current general manager of the Hong Kong branch of Golden Harvest Group and the daughter of Golden Harvest founder Zou Wenhuai, holds 2.5% of the shares. After the listing, the remaining 1.875% is worth 9.9 million.

Chen Guofu, the current general manager of the production department of Golden Harvest Group, holds 1.5% of Golden Harvest shares. After dilution after the listing, he will only hold 7.92%, worth million yuan.

Zeng Jia, currently the head of the brokerage department of Golden Harvest Group and the earliest follower of Liu Zhou, holds 1.5%. After the listing, he still has 1.125%, with a value of 5.94 million.

The above are the shareholder lists and shareholding ratios of each shareholder clearly stated in Jiahe’s listing report materials.

In addition, Jiahe Group also set aside a portion of its shares as welfare benefits, and middle and senior management employees within the company can purchase them at half price at two yuan per share.

At the same time, artists and directors under Golden Harvest also enjoy this benefit.

According to internal information, Golden Harvest's two contracted directors, Xu Ke and Ning Hao, each hold 1.76 million shares of Golden Harvest stock. Based on the closing price, million shares are worth million.

Among the artists, Qin Hao, Liu Ye, Fan Xiaopang, Huang Xiaoming and Liu Yifei each hold 1.408 million shares of Golden Harvest, worth million yuan.

Mr. Hu holds three million shares, worth fifty-three million.

Huang Bo, Zhang Yi and Zhu Yawen hold 2 million shares, worth 35 million.

As for the last popular actress under Golden Harvest, Miss Zhou, she does not hold a single Golden Harvest stock.

In summary, the listing of Golden Harvest Group has created three billionaires, 12 billionaires including shareholders, artists and senior management, and nearly 20 multi-millionaires. It can be said that this is a grand feast of wealth. "

As soon as this report on Sina.com came out, it immediately attracted huge traffic.

In fact, for netizens, what they are most interested in is how much Golden Harvest is worth after its listing and how many wealthy people it has created.

This report from Sina.com has caught everyone's attention.

Although Jiahe shareholders can check the information themselves, only a small number of people will do so. Most people are too lazy to check and usually get information directly from news reports.

As for the number of shares held by artists and directors under Golden Harvest, it will not be specifically stated in the listing report materials.

So let alone netizens, even many people in the circle don’t know how many shares the artists of Golden Harvest hold.

Now that Sina.com has disclosed all of this in detail, it has not only attracted heated discussions among netizens, but also attracted the envy and jealousy of many celebrities in the circle.

In the past, everyone always envied them for being able to own Jiahe’s extremely high-quality resources and receive good protection from Jiahe.

But I didn’t expect that I would be able to make a lot of money by joining Golden Harvest.

Not to mention Xu Ke and Ning Hao, both of them are big directors who have made outstanding contributions under Golden Harvest, but the fact that they were able to make more than 100 million this time also aroused the envy of their peers.

Especially Feng Kuzi, he has worked very hard in making movies for more than ten years, but he still hasn't earned 100 million yuan. Now Xu Ke and Ning Hao can earn nearly 200 million yuan just by taking advantage of the situation.

Is this justified?

He thought that he was no worse than these two people, and compared with their importance to Jiahe, he was much more important to Huayi.

Therefore, if Huayi goes public, the Wang brothers must also give themselves enough respect (shares) and weight (votes).

Feng Kuazi knew clearly that the Wang brothers had also been planning to take the company public for a long time, and were just waiting to see whether Liu Zhou, the first person to try it out, would be poisoned to death.

This time, not only was he not poisoned to death, but he made a fortune instead. Wang Zhongjun would definitely start the listing plan of Huayi immediately.

In fact, it is not only Feng Kuazi who has set his sights on Huayi’s stocks, but also Huayi’s current leading female artist Li Bingbing.

She has also been in the industry for more than ten years, and her total earnings are less than 100 million yuan. However, as an actress and star, she earns more and spends more.

Her current net worth is only 20 to 30 million.

Li Bingbing's commercial value was not as high as Fan Xiaopang's, and she didn't earn as much as her. Now that Fan Xiaopang's wealth has skyrocketed by more than 100 million yuan again, the gap has become even bigger.

In order to narrow this gap, Li Bingbing can only hope for Huayi's listing.

Although she knew that there was a big gap between Huayi and Jiahe, and that its market value after listing would certainly not be as high as Jiahe, this was her only chance to narrow the gap with Fan Xiaopang.

The wealth-making myth created by Golden Harvest's listing has somewhat overturned her perception. She feels that even if she works hard to film, she still can't make as much as others who buy some stocks.

In addition to Li Bingbing, Zhang Ziyi and Boss Zhao were also jealous of the huge profits made by Golden Harvest's artists.

Zhang Ziyi is an actress whose salary in mainland China is second only to Gong Li. She has also made it into Hollywood and has certainly earned a lot of money, totaling more than 100 million yuan.

Only you know how much effort you have put in to earn this money.

But now Qin Hao, Liu Ye, and Fan Xiaopang and others can easily make money while standing.

So while Zhang Ziyi was jealous, she couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards Liu Zhou in her heart.

As an old classmate, I wanted to buy some Golden Harvest shares but was directly rejected without any face.

It doesn't matter who earns the money, so why can't I, an old classmate, earn it?

As for those two investment institutions, Tongan Capital and Carp Investment, other people don’t know the situation, but Zhang Ziyi knows it clearly.

Isn’t it Zeng Li and Zhang Tong’s!

It is certain that a man like Liu Zhou, who holds such high position and power in the entertainment industry, has more than one woman, but she did not expect that Liu Zhou would be so generous and directly gave Zeng Li and Zhang Tong three or four hundred million.

The more I know, the more upset I feel.

Looking back at the boyfriends I've had, it's hard to overestimate them.

If Zhang Ziyi had known that Liu Zhou was so good to his woman, she would have used any means to win him over when they were in school.

In this way, the high-quality resources that Golden Harvest can provide and the three or four billion will all be yours.

But there is no point in thinking about these things now, so Zhang Ziyi can only suppress these emotions in her heart.

The current Liu Zhou is no longer the same as when he was in school. He has become a well-connected person in the circle, and I have to rely on him.

Not to mention that now that Golden Harvest has successfully gone public, Liu Zhou's influence will be further enhanced.

Although Boss Zhao was also jealous of Fan Xiaopang and others who were able to make a lot of money following Liu Zhou, she was more interested in capital operations like Jiahe's listing.

You can make some money by buying some stocks, but you can make big money by becoming a major shareholder of a listed company and performing capital operations.

Boss Zhao has seen a lot of the world. Several of her ex-boyfriends are either extremely wealthy or sons of powerful families, so she has long been unwilling to be just an actress.

Boss Zhao has great ambitions, but she has never had a good opportunity. Moreover, she does not have the ability to engage in capital operations and has to rely on men.

In addition to envying Liu Ye, Qin Hao and others who made more than 100 million yuan, more people in the circle envy Zhang Yi, Zhu Yawen and Huang Bo.

Qin Hao and others are some of the most popular male and female actors in mainland China. They make a lot of money themselves, and this is too far away from them.

But Zhang Yi, Zhu Yawen and Huang Bo are different. The three of them are not very famous. There are many people who are more popular than them or have the same fame as them.

Other people couldn't make so much money, but they, who had only been in the industry for a few years, made a lot of it, which instantly made them feel a little unbalanced.

But no matter how unbalanced they feel, there is nothing they can do about it, because they have joined a good company and have a good boss.

But the examples of Zhang Yi and others have also set a good example for them. Now that Jiahe has been successfully listed, it has greatly stimulated several giants in the industry, and they have begun to prepare for listing.

If you can’t get a ride from Jiahe, you can take a ride from other companies.
