Chapter 303 Allocating Shares to Executives

"what?"

Stephen Solenberg's eyes widened: "Boss, you said just now that you would allocate shares to us and plan to list Water World Animation. Is this true?"

At this moment, whether it is Stephen Solenberger or David Messer and other executives of Water World animation, they feel that their breathing is getting heavier and their adrenal hormones are increasing.

Allotment?

go public?

This is a major matter involving self-interest, and no one can remain calm.

Zu 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 give you all the shares, or even give you a part of the shares for free. It's not impossible."

Hearing this, everyone nodded heavily.

"Also, I warned you as early as when Waterworld Animation was established that our goal is Pixar Animation, and the listing is only a small step at present." Zuke 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 Steve Jobs back to the top, but also created 6 millionaires, 13 millionaires, and hundreds of ordinary Pixar animation workers, all of whom have a value of dozens of dollars. million dollars of shares.

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

"Can our company also go public?"

"What about me becoming a shareholder of Waterworld Animation?"

"Am I going to get rich?"

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

It was Zhu Ke's remarks, it was too sudden and caught them off guard!

"Everyone, not only Water World Animation Company, but other subsidiaries of Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group,

Wald Pictures, SpongeBob SquarePants House, Jin Shuguang Music, Jin Shuguang Publishing... In the near future, as long as you contribute, I will not be stingy with option rewards. "

"Remember, this is my promise to you from Zucker Wald!"

Can you dream of being a meal?

cannot!

Only real interests can retain talents!

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

David Messer used to be a member of Pixar animation. Because of his qualifications, after Pixar went public, he only obtained shares worth less than 100,000 US dollars. Even if he can develop well in Pixar, he throws an olive branch in Zucker. After that, he was very happy to join.

Why?

It's not all about profit.

Zucker doesn't deny the existence of dreams, but... After all, people have to eat and live.

But Zu Ke always firmly believes that "shares and options are not available to everyone, but as long as you have the ability, I will not be stingy."

Of course, Zucker will not give them too many shares in the allotment this time.

15%!

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

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

Remember it's allotment!

The so-called rights issue - is to ask them to spend money to buy.

Of course, they won't lose either.

"We can naturally accept that."

Stephen Solenberg said with a smile: "Think about Pixar Animation. After their employees spent money to buy the allotted shares, once the company went public, which one didn't make a profit and doubled its net worth."

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

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

The other 3% of the 15% shares are not included in the rights issue.

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

......

the next day.

When the entire water world animation was still immersed in the carnival of shares and listing, Zhu Ke was also discussing the specific details of the allotment with Zhang Wei, Anna, and a group of assistant teams.

"Boss, the company is listed on the US stock market, two requirements are crucial!"

"One, the company's financial report for the three years since its establishment is 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 spoke eloquently.

Zuke nodded and said with a smile: "You're right. Profit requirements are never a problem for Water World animation."

Sitting on the two ace animation series "SpongeBob SquarePants" and "Peppa Pig", plus the recent hit and box office "Finding Nemo".

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

"Second, the company needs to go along with the number of shareholders of more than 300."

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

"As for the 12% of the shares used for listing and allotment, the specific price per share and the listing price require the evaluation of professional institutions. I cannot make an estimate."

Zhang Wei said solemnly.

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

"That's right."

Zhu Ke smiled and said: "These people are all dog noses. Not long after I released the news, I received several calls this morning, all wanting to undertake the listing and financing of our Water World Animation."

At the same time, Water World Animation will be listed, and Zhu Ke will release some shares for market circulation.

In the ensuing time...

Zhu Ke, Zhang Wei, Anna, etc., made further discussions on issues such as the shares and option incentives for listing allotment.

For example: the limitation period for free trading of options, the trading object...

The allotment quota given by the company to employees does not belong to you after you buy it, and requires a certain number of working years.

As soon as you completed the allotment of shares on the front foot, you sold the shares on the back foot and left Water World Animation. Isn't Zu Ke a big loss?

We are not fools and take advantage of!

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

Shares and options, you must be able to get them!

Like lawyer Zhang Wei Zhang, although he has known Zu Ke for a long time and has worked for Zu 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 number one general under Zhu Ke for many years. If he can't get the option reward, no one in the entire group will dare to pat his chest and say that he is more qualified.

"Even if I'm stingy again, I know that people want to win over and win over!" Zhu Ke was a little bit cautious.

When the company grows to a certain extent, giving shares to important employees is the inevitable result of the company's development.

Well, stingy people are always stingy!

Zhu Ke felt distressed for several days, ate several big meals, and slept with several beautiful girls before he recovered.

It will take some time for the Water World animation to be released.

Of course, Zucker is not in a hurry. After all, the situation of Water World Animation is completely different from the predicament of Pixar before its listing.

Waterworld animation is not short of money!
