Becoming a Movie Star, System Only Finished Loading After Ten Years-Chapter 443 - 431: The Grand Finale (Part 2)

Therefore, Qi Hao gave Li Ming a good deal of comfort.

Unfortunately, life is unpredictable; just days after a phone call, he was suddenly in the ICU.

Although he was saved, the situation was not optimistic.

Li Ming was particularly well-connected in the entertainment industry, and after coming out of the ICU, many came to visit him.

There were also some partners who wanted to see the next moves of Xiaomabenteng after Li Ming's incident.

Earlier, when Zhonghao Entertainment bought shares, Xiaomabenteng underwent some equity restructuring, using Zhonghao Entertainment's support to clear out all relatives and related parties.

Now that he is seriously ill, he may not be able to return to a working state for quite some time, facing internal power struggles.

Even when Qi Hao went to visit, Li Ming's family had a dispute, which was truly lamentable.

After seeing Li Ming, Qi Hao realized the content of their argument was related to him.

When Li Ming, lying on the hospital bed, expressed his wish for Zhonghao Entertainment to acquire Xiaomabenteng, Qi Hao immediately refused without hesitation.

The hope of Xiaomabenteng going public was dashed; after losing the bet with Zhonghao Entertainment, a few days later, the chairman unexpectedly suffered a heart attack. If someone said Zhonghao Entertainment pushed him, many might believe it.

But Qi Hao had enough trust in his subordinates.

Otherwise, a meeting would have been needed to confirm if anyone had said anything pressuring to Li Ming.

At this critical moment, Zhonghao Entertainment acquiring Xiaomabenteng would be offering others an easy target for gossip.

Pushing a person into the ICU, and now wanting to swallow their assets?

However, Li Ming was still pleading desperately.

The area of his heart attack was quite large; surviving was lucky enough, and the chance of another heart attack wasn't nonexistent. He truly couldn't bear the weight of a company like Xiaomabenteng anymore.

Looking at the relatives outside the ward.

None of them showed any concern; they all seemed to wish he would pass quickly, so they could split the inheritance.

Such a sight was chilling.

Even if all power were handed over to Vice Chairman Zhong Lifang, she wouldn't withstand the entanglements of these so-called family members of the boss.

After such a drastic change, Li Ming was utterly tired of bickering with these relatives.

Moreover, if one day he truly passed away, Xiaomabenteng in the hands of these people would mean all his life's work was in vain.

It would be better to hand Xiaomabenteng over to Zhonghao Entertainment.

This way, he wouldn't need to fulfill the promise of going public; he could rest and recuperate in peace.

Qi Hao pondered for a few days and finally agreed.

He offered Li Ming a fair price, mainly split into three parts.

The first was the bet agreement.

According to the agreement, Xiaomabenteng needed to pay Zhonghao Entertainment 500 million in investment funds and another 100 million in investment interest, totaling 600 million RMB.

To fulfill this bet agreement was akin to Xiaomabenteng bearing 600 million RMB in debt.

The second part was Zhonghao Entertainment's 500 million yuan full acquisition of Xiaomabenteng, including some of its theaters and IP assets.

The third part was that Li Ming would receive 2% equity in the restructured Zhonghao Entertainment.

Zhonghao Entertainment was about to go public, and no one knew how much the 2% equity would be worth, but it was certainly worth 500 million.

This means Zhonghao Entertainment would invest 1.6 billion to acquire Xiaomabenteng.

In March 2011, Xiaomabenteng's valuation soared to 3 billion, and during this stage, Zhonghao Entertainment financed 500 million for Xiaomabenteng.

However, times have changed. Xiaomabenteng's investment in making "The Crossing" and "Longmen Express" either lost money or involved lawsuits, and the company was no longer at its peak.

1.6 billion was definitely an overvaluation.

Looking for buyers on the market, it would at most sell for a little over 1 billion.

Zhonghao Group listed in the middle of the year.

And it was an overall listing.

It merged with Li Ming's Xiaomabenteng, Ning Hao's Bad Monkey Film Industry, and Jiang Wen's Promise, incorporating culturally significant businesses like Bilibili, Qidian, Demon Qi, and Naughty Ghost Effects Company.

This strong alliance made Zhonghao Group a giant in the entertainment culture industry, adding endless confidence to shareholders.

The Group issued 150 million shares at an initial price of 55 yuan per share.

The opening price was 90.1 yuan, up 63.6% from the issuance price of 55 yuan.

Within half an hour of opening, the stock price broke 100 yuan, with a peak market value of 137.5 billion.

The closing price on the first day was 128.8 yuan, with a market value of 128.8 billion.

A total of 19.32 billion RMB was raised.

There were only 24 A-share companies with a market value of over 100 billion, and Zhonghao Group ranked 19th, surpassing CITIC Securities.

Although it couldn't compare with trillion-dollar companies like PetroChina and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, in terms of cultural stocks, Zhonghao Entertainment was undoubtedly the number one.

Although the stock price fell back slightly the next day, it didn't plummet like Mrs. Hua's.

Currently, Mrs. Hua's market value is just a fraction of Zhonghao Group's.

This company is now caught in a whirlpool of tax evasion and black-and-white contracts. While it's still struggling, its downfall seems inevitable.

Moreover, now that you can buy Zhonghao Group's stock, why buy Mrs. Hua's?

It's simply a hopeless cause.

In fact, big capital is more looking forward to Crystal Mobile's financing and listing.

Crystal Mobile launched the S1 on December 18 last year and released the Great Saint Special Commemorative Edition in June this year.

Officially called Crystal S1P.

S1P is the first phone using both the Android and Great Saint dual systems.

The Great Saint system is a new one developed based on the Android open-source project and is still in the development and exploration stage.

S1P's processor, camera, storage space, appearance, and other aspects have been upgraded.
