Chapter 802 North American Zhiduoxing goes public

North American Zhiduxing was the first to complete the reorganization, and several of its game companies have also become wholly-owned subsidiaries, including Blizzard Entertainment and Valve.

Edson became the chairman of the company here, Allen became the CEO, and the executives of other subsidiaries also served as directors.

Which also hired an outside director, is Will. Zhang Yang asked for this, not mainly to monitor the board of directors, but to hope that Will can help stabilize everyone's mood when the company's stock price falls.

At the end of November, North America Zhiduoxing was officially listed in New York. The number of shares issued is not large, accounting for only 30% of the total share capital, but the issue price is very high.

As soon as it was listed, the stock price began to rise. Even though the stock was originally priced at a very high price, the rate of increase was still very fast. It closed up 13% that day, bringing some hope to the entire sluggish American stock market.

"cheers!"

Everyone was celebrating with champagne. The listing of North American Zhiduoxing made a good start for the listing of Zhiduoxing's subsidiaries.

Thirty percent of the stock, raised 9 billion US dollars in cash, and after the listing, the stock price has risen, and now the market value of North America Zhiduoxing is close to 34 billion US dollars.

The net worth of Edson, Allen and others have also increased, and they all have shares. At the beginning, they thought that the company's stock price would be very high, but they didn't expect it to be so high. After all, there were already problems in the North American financial market at this time.

The market value of North American Smart Star alone is comparable to other game console manufacturers.

The increase in North American Zhiduoxing's stock price has also led to the rise of Zhiduoxing Group's stock price. It seems that by the end of this year, Zhiduoxing Group's stock price will easily break through 150 billion US dollars.

"Director Zhang, is it true that most of the funds we raised were used to repurchase the shares of the parent company?" Allen sat next to Zhang Yang and asked.

"Yes, otherwise, what do you think? Why, there is still a shortage of money here? That's okay, use what you need first, and use the rest to buy back the shares of the parent company."

Allen was a little puzzled: "But why do you want to repurchase the shares of the parent company? With the parent company, your control over the company has not declined, and no one else can shake your position. Shouldn't we merge some other game companies and continue to grow?" ?”

"Do you think the stock of the parent company will continue to rise?" Zhang Yang asked rhetorically.

"It should be. This year, the revenue of each subsidiary is good, and the profit margin is also good. The company's net profit will definitely rise. Now that the global financial market is very good, it is normal for the stock price to continue to rise." Allen analyzed.

"That's enough. Since it can continue to rise, it should be regarded as an investment. What's the problem? The parent company is also short of money now. Investing in LCDs and fabs requires money, and each one is not small. number."

"Of course, there is no problem with loans. Many banks are willing to give us loans. But I remember that you wanted to list the company a long time ago. Wouldn't it be good to meet your requirements now? As for how to use the funds, do you think we will continue to expand the scale of North American Zhiduoxing now? is correct?"

Zhang Yang knew what Alan was thinking. Alan wanted to make North American Zhiduxing the largest game company in North America. And there is still a big mountain pressing on it, that is EA, which is also one of the world's game giants.

Compared with Zhiduoxing Group, EA is definitely not comparable. But in terms of North American intellectuals alone,

It is slightly worse than EA. After all, EA is the leader of sports games in the world. It holds the copyrights of many popular sports league games in its hands, and its peripheral development is also very good.

"Director Zhang, do you object to the continued expansion of the North American Smart Stars? But our momentum is just right now. Several games are selling well, whether it is strategy games, RPG online games, or shooting games, they are the most profitable. As long as we merge a few more With only one game company, we can become a super-large game company of all categories.”

"Full category? Zhiduoxing Group is the game company of all categories. Do you know why I focus on different companies for different game development? It is because no company can truly achieve the best in all categories. "

"In large-scale online games, Blizzard is the best. In strategy RPG games, Blizzard is also the best. But in shooting games, Valve Corporation is the best."

"In the zombie games, the island country is the leader. In the development games, Nintendo is the leader. EA is the strongest in the sports category, and there are many game companies such as Nangong Meng and Capcom, all of which are well-known in the world. .”

"Could it be that those companies in the island country don't know about mergers? Is it because Soni and Nintendo don't have the strength to merge? No, it's because they know that once merged, it will limit the development enthusiasm of many people."

"Let me ask you, if you were asked to develop a racing game, would you be good at it?"

Allen frowned: "I'm not good at it, so I have to invite someone who is good at it back."

"No. The entire Blizzard is not good at it, and players have already had this cognition. It will take a long time and cost a lot of money to change this cognition."

"We expand to earn more money. If revenue and profit margins both decline after expansion, the company's ability to resist risks will also decline. Have you considered it?"

"It's enough to do what you are good at, and to be the best. I'm not saying that the company can't develop that kind of game, but try to develop what you are good at."

"I said, you inject all the remaining Blizzard shares into the North American Smart Stars, then I guarantee you will make more money, are you losing money now?"

"In terms of company management, you should discuss with Edson more, he is worse than you in this area. There is a saying in Huaxia, three people must have my teacher. Maybe many people are not as good as you, but there is always someone who is better than you The place."

"Go and have a good chat with other people. In the future, you will no longer be directly involved in game development, and you should think more about management issues. The management method of a large company is still different from that of a small company. You should not only be responsible for yourself, but also for Other shareholders are responsible. It is not so easy to be the CEO of a listed company.”

Once there is a business problem, the CEO is generally responsible for the blame. Unless the CEO is a major shareholder and chairman of the board, he will find someone else to take the blame.

North American Zhiduoxing was successfully listed, and Zhang Yang was very satisfied with its market value. Here is just a game development company, plus a publishing company, and has no other business. It can have this market value when it is just listed, which shows how inflated the financial market is at this time.

This false prosperity will soon come to an end.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, let other subsidiaries go public as soon as possible, and then make a good round of money from foreign investors. As for the domestic market, forget it, many stockholders will not be able to bear it.

In more than a year, the delisting plan of Zhiduoxing Group can be launched.
