395. Chapter 395 Entering the ranks of the super rich?
"When I think I have to be busy until September to rest, a sense of powerlessness will come to my heart and make me want to do nothing." Sean, who was lying on the sofa and even his face was in a silence, muffled, looking very bad.
"On the bright side, Sean, at least there is only one movie now. After completing this movie, you can rest as much as you want." Galen comforted as usual.
"I know, but... it's not a month since July last year until now, for more than a year, there's not a month left behind in the crew." Sean finally raised his head and said with a bitter face. "And now there's at least one month left to completely relax. Just thinking about it makes me feel numb in my scalp, and it's almost the last straw."
"I think this is what you asked for. You shouldn't have agreed so much at the beginning. At least you can give up like "Fast and Furious 2". "Sanders continued to sprinkle salt on his wounds.
Sean immediately glared at him, but unfortunately the latter walked out as if he hadn't seen it at all: "I'll go to the door to see it, Neil said there was good news to inform you in person, and he should be here."
As soon as the words were finished, the doorbell rang, and a few seconds later Neil appeared in front of Sean and the others.
"Hey, guys, how are you doing recently? Do you miss me?" The boy asked with a gaze, looking very excited, and he was wearing a suit like Frederick, with the style of a successful person.
"Not at all." Sean, who was climbing on the sofa, replied without hesitation.
"This is a sad answer, my heart is about to break." Neil made an exaggerated expression, and then started to scream in fuss, "Hey, I said Sean, why are you climbing on the sofa like this? Even if you want to learn from bats, you should hang it upside down on the wall, right?"
"I play Batman, not Bat!" Sean gave him a blank look and finally got up from the sofa, while Garen brought a few glasses of water.
"Of course, of course, I know, I've watched the TV report." Neil took it excitedly, "I have to say, you are so handsome, so suitable for Batman. It was the right decision to get this role! I can't wait for the movie to be released!"
Well, he is also a fan of DC Comics, and a fan of Batman, but... this is a bit too excited, right?
"Okay, Neil, can't you calm down? What happened today? I was so excited that I seemed to have smoked marijuana." Sean said with a frown.
"Okay OK, I'm just very happy. Although I couldn't catch up, it was a pity, but I still made a lot of profits." Neil was still a little incoherent, at least in the eyes of Sean and the others.
But he took a deep breath, looked aloud, controlled his emotions, and smiled: "Congratulations, Sean, I came here to inform you, your eyes have been proven again, you are already a super rich now!"
"I'm a super rich man." Sean rolled his eyes disapprovingly. The production company plus real estate, various copyrights and other equity shares. He now has a net worth of at least 200 million or even 300 million or 300 million, but he just has a small amount of working capital.
"No, no, Sean, you are not," Neil stretched out his finger and shook it, looking like he was in control. "You used to be just a rich man, but now you are a super rich man - don't you know that Google was listed a few days ago, just on August 15."
"Oh?" Sean raised his eyebrows.
The accident was not pretended. After all, for more than a year, I kept shuttled between the crew, so naturally I didn’t have much energy to pay attention to the finances. I basically took the statement and took a quick look at the income and expenditure situation - the accountant was still very capable - and then asked Garen or Sanders to help check it. Of course, it was still necessary to conduct a detailed inspection in person, but he planned to wait until this busy time passed before proceeding. Unexpectedly, Neal came to tell him that Google was on the market now.
"Okay, then how much did I earn?" Sean asked in a relaxed tone, while picking up the cup in his hand.
"Let me think about it... about $1.8 billion." Neil, who also held the cup, quickly gave the answer.
"puff!"
"puff!"
"puff!"
Sean, Garen, and Sanders sprayed out the water from their mouths almost at the same time, then looked at Neil in disbelief and asked in unison: "What?!"
"Damn!" Neil shouted with a look of anger after being sprayed, and his voice became a little sharp because he was too annoyed. He then jumped up and found a tissue to wipe it on his face and body. "What a hell, this is the clothes I just made, and it cost more than 10,000 US dollars!"
"If I really have 1.8 billion assets, I can compensate you 100 items!" Sean didn't care about that, "so sit down and then explain it honestly."
"I'm not a prisoner..." Neil said this, but he sat down, but his face was a little angry. "What else should I explain? Google went public, with a market value of 20 billion that day, and it is still rising. The equity in your hands is naturally worth 1.8 billion."
Sean couldn't help but feel sad. Of course, he knew that Google was a company with a market value of hundreds of billions, otherwise how could it have invested more than 20 million yuan? As a reborn person, he might have forgotten anything else, but he should have memory. However, even so, he always believed that even after Google developed so much, it would be more than ten years later. And the investment of more than 20 million yuan can make ten times the profit after it goes public, and he is not greedy at all.
However, Neil now told him that the listed Google directly has a market value of 20 billion yuan, and it is still rising. He already has 1.8 billion yuan in assets and even more... To put it in an old-fashioned way, it is like a big pie falling from the world. The huge gravity potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which instantly knocked him out.
This is $1.8 billion, not 1.8 billion yen, not 1.8 billion baht, nor 1.8 billion Zimbabwean coins! In Hollywood, if you only count as an actor, according to reports from various financial media, the richest ones, such as the two Tom, Hanks and Cruise, have only 800 million or 90 million assets.
Even if the director and producer are added, there are two more people on them, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. The former owns Industrial Light and Magic, owns the copyright of "Star Wars", with a net worth of about 4 billion yuan, and the latter is a shareholder of DreamWorks. With the copyright of a series of well-known works, it is about 2 billion yuan.
Sean's shares in Google alone are worth 1.8 billion, and it's growing. In addition, the production company and other assets are basically as rich as Spielberg.
Even if it is cashed out, it will be much less, but in terms of the apparent numbers, it is indeed the case. He can indeed enter the ranks of super rich people now.
"Of course," Neil spoke again at this time, "Many people are optimistic about Google's prospects, so the stock price is worth it very quickly. I bought the part early with some connection. If I sell it in half a year, I will make a big profit. It's a pity that I didn't have that much money to invest with you at that time. However, if you want to issue additional shares in the future, your equity will be diluted - in fact it has been diluted."
"I remember there was an agreement..." Sean said thinking.
"Yes, there is an agreement, your representative is still on the board of directors, but it would be great if your equity can be maintained at around 5% after this round." Neil said quickly.
"Okay, it seems that I have to continue to invest money in it." Sean, who finally returned to normal, said this.
"Do you have to invest money?" Neil opened his eyes wide.
Not only him, Garen and Sanders, who finally came back from the shock, also showed a look of surprise.
"Of course, Google will only become stronger and stronger. I can still guarantee my position on the board of directors now, which does not mean that I can do it in the future." Sean nodded.
Since Google gave him such a surprise and the prospects are still so bright, what can I do if I don’t seize the opportunity to plan well. Moreover, in the future when online communication is becoming more and more important, Google will also be of considerable help to his acting career, just like he threatened the new line at the beginning, so the identity of Google as a director must be preserved no matter what, but the problem and trouble lies in...
"You have to think clearly, Sean, Google does not pay dividends." Neil reminded.
"Yes, I know." Sean replied with some headache.
This is the problem. God knows why Google has such a regulation and has been accepted. If it cannot distribute dividends, it means that Sean has almost no profit on it. In addition to the value of the equity itself, if he still has to invest money in it, it will only put him in a heavier burden.
"My equity will not be diluted too much at present. Can I guarantee that the board of directors will continue to gain a foothold, right?" Sean asked this, and after receiving Neil's affirmative answer, he immediately said: "I need a new investment partner. Do you have any good suggestions?"
To increase your holdings of Google's equity, you don't have to invest money. Investing in other IT industries, and then letting Google value it and acquire it in exchange for equity is a number method.
Of course, this is somewhat ideal. If you invest in the IT industry with good prospects, you can make a steady profit and invest in Google again. If you don’t have one, you can get a few more money. Neil has also helped him make some money in this regard before, such as Amazon and Yahoo, and his vision should be fine.
"It's not that easy." Neil shook his head at this time, "Although the IT industry still has various creative ideas, not many are worth investing."
"What about angel investment?" Sean asked after thinking about it.
Angel investment refers to those rich people who have extra money and are bored, who invest the money in their hands to companies that are not favored by risk companies, and then wait until they develop and sell it to others for a small profit. Because the investment generally does not exceed 1 million, even if they lose, they will not lose too much.
"Too little." Neil shook his head, "Even if each investment is 1 million, it can have double or even double the profit, but it is too little. If you want to maintain Google's shares, an investment must be at least more than tens of millions."
Sean frowned. He had already estimated this question: "Is there really not one?"
