Becoming a Movie Star, System Only Finished Loading After Ten Years

The time quickly reached 9:15.

At this point, the stock market hadn't opened yet, but from this moment until 9:25, there would be a collective bidding process.

The price had been climbing continuously from the issue price of 28 yuan.

It quickly reached 30 yuan, 35 yuan...

This was the "first stock of Huaxia Entertainment," and with the movie market expanding over the years, it had attracted quite a few eager investors.

By 9:25, the collective bidding ended.

It finally settled at 63.66 yuan.

Then, the market would open at 9:30.

An issue price of 28 yuan, opening at over 63 yuan — although not a monster stock, this rise greatly encouraged investors.

At 10:28, the stock was temporarily suspended for 30 minutes because the price increased 20% from the opening price.

When trading resumed at 10:58, Mrs. Hua's stock price continued to climb to new heights.

If it weren't for Qi Hao having analyzed the necessity of selling Mrs. Hua's stocks, everyone would probably feel sorry for Qi Hao now.

With such a promising stock, why would you sell it instead of holding onto it for a decade or two?

"When will we be able to go public, boss? Do we have plans to list on the stock exchange?"

Zhang Nan felt a surge of excitement.

He was confident that going public here would definitely outperform Mrs. Hua.

"Let's talk about it. It's not impossible."

Qi Hao currently has quite a few companies — not counting Feiyang Media, where he only holds 30%, there are also Donghao, West Hao, and Zhonghao.

Donghao Venture Capital doesn't count; it's his personal financial investment company.

Both West Hao Film Industry and Zhonghao Entertainment are in the film industry.

The main focus is on developing Zhonghao, which has merged with Qi Hao Studio. Additionally, it handles film investment and may venture into film production and other businesses.

When the business grows, going public becomes a possibility.

Moreover, there's "backdoor listing."

Take this year as an example: Jiangxi Publishing used Xinxin Shares for a backdoor listing, Ai Jia Holding used De Mian Shares, and Beijing Electric Control restructured Zhaowei Technology...

There are a bunch of companies going public through backdoor listings every year.

But whether these backdoor listings become a major success or a complete bust depends on their luck.

Qi Hao had discussed the prospect of going public with Old Tian.

If they had to go public, it would definitely be through a backdoor listing.

But right now, the idea of Zhonghao going public is just laughable — they have nothing, they'd be selling something out of nothing.

It's really just wishful thinking, a topic for idle chatter.

Everyone dreamed of a bright future, even having their meals at the company.

By the midday break, the stock price had surged to nearly 85 yuan. As long as the closing price didn't disappoint, even if it just stayed at the opening level, Qi Hao's stocks would be hugely profitable.

"Boss, you mentioned Penguin, but they haven't made any moves."

As the afternoon session was about to start, many people around Qi Hao were growing anxious.

Although 85 yuan was already high, it wasn't enough.

The trading day in the stock market is divided into opening, intraday trading, and closing trading.

Afternoon trading is also known as the late market or midday market.

The Shenzhen Stock Exchange's late market runs from 13:00 to 15:00, so it's all about watching what happens in the afternoon.

"It should be soon."

When Qi Hao went to Penguin Headquarters, he had numerous discussions with Sun Zhonghuai.

Sun Zhonghuai asked him to recommend investment-worthy film companies, and Qi Hao recommended Mrs. Hua without hesitation.

He also tactfully declined Penguin's desire to invest in Feiyang Media.

Remember one brand — Mrs. Hua!

In subsequent interactions, he fervently promoted Mrs. Hua.

This time, when "Wind Sound" was released, Sun Zhonghuai called to congratulate Qi Hao, only to be hit with another recommendation from Qi Hao.

It's more reassuring to pit yourself against acquaintances.

Penguin finally decided to take action.

Qi Hao also suggested that they could start by grabbing some shares from the free market on Mrs. Hua's listing day.

Hurry and buy; if you don't, you'll miss out!

Getting Penguin involved is more reliable than enticing any marketing companies.

If the Wang Brothers knew about Qi Hao's operations, they wouldn't pursue him for breach of contract and might even feel immensely grateful.

With Ali already in the mix, adding Penguin to the picture would make the entire film industry defer to them.

Sun Zhonghuai didn't keep Qi Hao waiting too long. As soon as the market reopened, a major player entered the scene.

Seeing a major player enter, other retail investors immediately gritted their teeth and continued to follow suit.

The stock market is so crazy; even knowing they might become the next "fools," many still charge forward blindly.

This thing can really be described as a form of legal gambling.

"Broke a hundred, broke a hundred!"

Celebrations erupted on Qi Hao's side, with everyone exuberantly shouting.

Actually, Mrs. Hua's side was even more excited; the Wang Brothers might be watching and downing heart-saving tablets at the same time.

They can't die, or else this money would go to their nagging wives.

"Holy crap, could Mrs. Hua's valuation really surpass Penguin's?"

Penguin's market value is roughly 40 billion US Dollars.

At this rate of increase, Mrs. Hua might catch up eventually.

Mrs. Hua's listing on the ChiNext board at the Shenzhen Stock Exchange doesn't have price limits for the first five days. After the 6th trading day, the price limits are set at 20%.

They might even hit 120 yuan today!

"It's almost like a dream, just the madness of the first day. One, the economic crisis just passed, the market is good. Two, the concept of Huaxia Entertainment's first stock has been hyped successfully, but the revenue and P/E ratio data don't hold up to scrutiny."

Mrs. Hua's box office performance has been good in recent years, and she has stepped out of the shadow of "Night Banquet."

But the so-called good performance doesn't actually mean much revenue.

The market share is just that big, and Mrs. Hua can no longer dominate it alone.

This stock price might rise a bit more, but a crash won't take too long.

Qi Hao doesn't care how the entrants are doing.

As someone who's been through it, I've come out on the other side, so whether you make it or not has nothing to do with me.

Afternoon passed very slowly and painfully.

But it finally reached the closing time.

The highest that day was 117.80 yuan per share, closing at 109.81 yuan per share, a growth of 292%. Calculating by the closing price, Mrs. Hua's market value on the first day of listing exceeded 18.4 billion yuan.

The Wang Brothers and a crowd of celebrity shareholders made a killing.

Shortly after closing, someone from Mrs. Hua's side contacted Qi Hao. The Wang Brothers seemed quite worried that Qi Hao might hold on and not sell.

If you dare force him, he'll go to the Securities Commission to complain.

But actually, Qi Hao didn't love Mrs. Hua's stocks that much; as they say, take the profit when it's good.

This crappy stock has been pushed to this price, what more could you want?

According to his agreement with Mrs. Hua, they would repurchase Qi Hao's 3.71 million shares of stock at the average of the highest and closing prices on the listing day.

The transaction unit price is (117.8+109.81)/2 = 113.805 yuan.

3.71 million shares equal 422,216,550 yuan.

Thankfully Mrs. Hua listed, otherwise the Wang Brothers wouldn't be able to scrape together this money even by selling themselves.

Of course, it's painful.

According to expert forecasts and the morning stock trend projections, the maximum price for this stock was expected to reach 90 yuan, and might close at around 70 yuan.

Who expected a few big players would enter the market in the afternoon?

Now the closing price surged to 109 yuan, so the Wang Brothers are out over another billion.

Luckily, since the stock price is good, they're earning even more.

This money ultimately ended up in Qi Hao's hands, almost 3.5 billion yuan.

Far beyond the expected one billion.

With so much money, Qi Hao wasn't sure how to spend it.

"Buy a building!"

"We must buy a building!"

Everyone at the company was more excited than the other.

3.5 billion yuan, even if the boss kept 50 million as pocket money, there'd still be 3 billion to make things happen.

No one expected the 'low-quality' stocks the boss held to be this valuable.

That's right.

Compared to Penguin, Maotai, Apple, Sina, Mrs. Hua is definitely the most inferior stock.

None of them are comparable.

Can't even imagine if the boss sold all the stocks, how impressive the company would become.

"Office buildings can be bought, but there are many places to spend money. Do you really think three billion is a lot?"

Old Tian interrupted the excitement, feeling he must rain on everyone's parade, otherwise, they'd all have their tails up in the air.

"We're not just spenders; we can earn money too!"

Even the conservative Shi Feng was no longer conservative; he found Old Tian somewhat lacking in aggressiveness.

"Movies aren't just about investment and production; isn't distribution important? The market is so good now, shouldn't we take a step in the cinema line?"

Old Tian looked at this group, somewhat disappointed they weren't living up to expectations.

Everyone was instantly silent; indeed, Old Tian saw further than others. No wonder he could sit in the chief administrator's seat, become Qi Hao's right hand, royalty privilege, first cut and report...

"I don't care; anyway, I want an independent office. I need to drink hand-poured coffee!"

Zhanqi Laiden turned his face, saying nothing would work today. His workspace was small and cramped, encroached on by much of Gao Fei's stuff.

He couldn't afford to offend Gao Fei; he dared not speak up, nor express anger.

He, a dignified PR Director, truly felt too shabby.

"Sigh, we should have a legal office, and Fei... She's the President of Feiyang Media, and she doesn't have an independent office, that's unreasonable, right?"

Yao Weihong cared about image, so he couldn't outright request an independent office, but legal only hit with one assistant, and having a legal office was more or less equivalent to an independent office.

He even used Gao Fei as an example.

Everyone chatted away, all seeking enjoyment.

"Boss, our Feiyang Media can jointly buy a building with Zhonghao Entertainment."

Gao Fei also wanted an independent office.

This way, she could bring some of her dolls to the company.

Right now, there's nowhere to put them.

"Fei, your father is just a Coal Boss, not a bank manager."

Qi Hao felt weary; Feiyang Media's bet agreement was profitable within two years, and then they could use Gao Yang's ten million office fund for free.

Now ten million wasn't much to everyone; winning or losing wasn't important anymore.

However, we couldn't always take advantage of Gao Yang, right?

"No bank manager or whatever. My dad knows a lot of managers. Oh, yes, my dad has several plots undergoing development in the capital; I'll ask him if any are suitable for our office."

Gao Fei not only wanted joint purchasing, but she also wanted a low price!

"Your dad having a daughter like you is truly his blessing..."

Old Tian, while feeling emotional, also felt very lucky the company had a rich heiress like Gao Fei.

Truly opulent.

In case the company went bankrupt one day, she could easily reach out and bring everyone back to life.
