independent filmmaker

The Paper and its major shareholder, Golden Crane Insurance, have been investing in Deep Blue Films. However, when their accumulative shareholdings exceeded 22%, especially 23%, their selling speed slowed down significantly. Xin Ye told Xie Lansheng: "The two of them No funds, fundraising."

Xie Lansheng didn't quite understand, he just nodded: "Yeah."

The distance between Surging Pictures and Golden Crane Insurance and the largest shareholder is only 2.9% of the stock, so naturally they will not stop there. However, just as they continued to sweep the stock, suddenly, Deep Blue Pictures, which had been silent until now, issued an announcement, According to the disclosure, the two shareholders of Shenlan Films, Xinye and Zhang Guoning, are persons acting in concert. Among them, Xinye holds 27.9% of the shares, and Zhang Guoning holds 2% of the shares, totaling 29.9%.

Then, who is this "Zhang Guoning"? ? ?

After the research, all the financial reporters were shocked——Zhang Guoning is Xinye's real father!

Public opinion was in an uproar, and it was all shown by Xin Ye's showmanship.

Zhang Guoning only holds 2% of Deep Blue's shares, and does not have a 5% stake. There is no need to make an announcement, and no one will find out. Besides, Zhang Guoning's surname is Zhang, not Xin. Xinye is related.

Xie Lansheng knew more about this "dad" than anyone else, and he asked Xinye: "You...you guys have been in constant contact lately?" He didn't ask what his father's name was, but only knew his surname was Zhang, and it was also the first time he had heard of the full name "Zhang Guoning".

"Xin" is the surname of Xinye's mother. Xinye used to be called Yves Zhang when he was a child, and the Chinese is simply and roughly translated into "Zhang Yiwei". When Xie Lansheng heard it for the first time, he laughed back and forth for a long time and called out a lot all over.

"No." Xinye raised his eyebrows, tapped his fingers on the armrest of the sofa, and lazily said, "He's not a jerk either. At the end of 77, he wanted to serve his motherland but my mother liked LA. The two ended up divorced, but they also had a little connection. He In the 80s, I lived frugally and went to LA two or three times. After I came to Beijing in 95, he always confessed and confessed. After that, can we meet once a year?"

"I know that." Xie Lansheng nodded.Xie Lansheng also met each other.Xinye's father was a technical backbone of a research institute after returning from overseas, and later became the director of the institute. He just retired this year and is being rehired.He basically knows everything about Xinye, including work.His business is the same for Xinye.

"There is still little contact now. However, it is not a big problem to ask him to hold shares. This is also a rainy day."

"……Um?"

Xin Ye explained: "Zhang Guoning bought 2% of Deep Blue a long time ago. Because we are father and son, we are not involved in illegal holdings. The current "Acquisition Measures" stipulates that shareholders holding more than 5% of the shares and their concerted actions Every time a person’s shareholding increases or decreases by 5%, an announcement needs to be made. My father has 2% in his hand, and Jinhe and the others are not prepared enough, so their judgment on the acquisition is wrong from the beginning to the end.”

"Oh..." I don't understand.

"Okay, Jin He and the others should stop at this stage."

"Ah."

…………

And when they found out that Xin Ye's share of the stock was actually 29.9% instead of 27.9%, Golden Crane Insurance and The Paper went crazy!

Even the CEO of Golden Crane Insurance lost his demeanor in front of the reporter, and said with displeasure, "Isn't he a disgusting person?! Heh, a pure disgusting person!! Xinye deliberately stuck his dark blue shares at 29.9% He doesn't trigger the offer himself, but if others want to seek further control over Deep Blue, they will trigger it as soon as they miss!"

Apparently, Golden Crane Insurance thought it could buy 29.9% faster, after all, its financial resources are very strong, but it did not expect that Xinye had already prepared and bought it.

Xinye has already told Lan Sheng that holding 30% of the shares will trigger an offer, that is, he will be forced to start a general acquisition and request all stock holders to acquire the other party's shares, and the holders of Deep Blue shares who have been proposed for tender offer can You can choose to sell to the other party, or you can choose not to sell to the other party.

This process is difficult to control. In the most extreme situation, Golden Crane Insurance and The Paper want to acquire 100% shares of Deep Blue. They cannot refuse, otherwise they will violate the regulations. However, the market value of Deep Blue Film is 29.9 billion, and the two companies have insufficient financial resources. In other words, Even the "Big Three of the Internet" have to carefully weigh the acquisition price.The risk of triggering a general takeover offer for such a large company is definitely enough to discourage barbarians. Besides, Deep Blue is only a cultural company, not a bank or other company. This deal is not worthwhile, and ordinary people would not do it.It is also for this reason that Xinye shares stopped at [-]%.

That is to say, Xin Ye’s shareholding is actually 29.9%. At the same time, Golden Crane Insurance and Surging Pictures dare not buy more than 30% of the shares, otherwise it will trigger a general tender offer. However, if you want to become Deep Blue As the real largest shareholder of the film industry, the shareholding ratio of the two of them must be higher than that of Xinye.It can be said that it is an impossible and difficult task to buy more than 29.9% and never touch 30%.

From the very beginning, Golden Crane Insurance and Surging Pictures didn't understand their calculations, and now they are stuck with huge sums of money in vain.

After Jin He’s CEO said “purely disgusting people”, some well-known financial reporters began to suspect in the report: Xinye’s move is deliberately attracting barbarians to increase the stock price, and then continue to pledge equity and other ways to raise money. Because Deep Blue’s several initiatives in the middle of the year desperately need funds, but new shareholders cannot join the board of directors or gain control—according to the company’s articles of association of Deep Blue, the company has 11 directors, including 7 non-independent directors and 4 directors. Independent directors, the first shareholder and company executives can take 5 seats in total, and the second and third shareholders can each take one seat. That is to say, if they are not the largest shareholder of Jinhe Insurance, they can only take a place in the board of directors. It is completely useless to get one seat, the Xinye faction must have more than half, and can decide the appointment of the CEO and others.

Moreover, as long as you become a major shareholder, you must abide by the regulations if you want to reduce your holdings. For example, if you want to reduce your holdings through centralized bidding on the stock exchange, you cannot reduce your holdings by more than 90% of the total number of shares within any consecutive 1 natural days, which will have very little impact on the stock price. However, Xinye's share of shares will not be diluted by additional issuance.

Regarding the reporter's speculation, Xinye neither admitted nor denied it.

…………

At this point, people speculate that Golden Crane Insurance and The Paper should stop because they have already lost.

Unexpectedly, there was none at all.

Golden Crane Insurance did not know what kind of weird operation it had used to raise a large sum of money and continue to buy Deep Blue shares! !

Soon, Golden Crane Insurance and Surging Pictures held 24% of the shares.

This posture actually reveals the meaning of a full-scale acquisition, but it is hard for anyone to believe such a crazy behavior.

Do they really have that much money? !

The market value of Deep Blue exceeds [-] billion!

At the same time when Golden Crane Insurance and Surging Pictures were scrambling to raise funds for Deep Blue, one day, a financial celebrity on Weibo suddenly released a revelation. The content of the revelation was:

【Difficult to watch! ! !It is said that someone reported to the Shanghai Stock Exchange with their real names that Deep Blue Films concealed Xin Ye's marital status when it went public!Xinye was married and had children with others as early as 2009, but did not disclose his related persons. 】

There are two pictures of Xinye speaking at the bottom of Weibo.

In one of them, Xin Ye is holding a microphone in his left hand, and the other hand is in his pocket, standing on the stage, the light on the big screen is reflected on Xin Ye's handsome face, and the picture behind him reads: [Deep Blue Films 2009 film list].

And in the second picture, Xin Ye's hand holding the microphone was enlarged again and again, so everyone could find that he was wearing a ring on his ring finger.

Xie Lansheng: "..."

He has some memories of the event, which happened at the end of 2008, on December 12th.

A man wears a diamond ring on his ring finger, and it is very expensive. This evidence is very hard.No unmarried CEO will wear a diamond ring in a formal suit, which is only for decoration in the end.

That day happened to be the half-year anniversary of the two people's wedding. In 2008, because of their happiness, he and Xin Ye celebrated on the 30th of every month. Naturally, they both wore rings during the celebration.Xin Ye then rushed to attend the press conference at [-]:[-] pm. Due to the inexplicable congestion on the road, he didn't plan to go on stage directly and forgot his ring. Xie Lansheng, who accompanied him, was also busy watching the time and didn't remember it either.After all, Xin Ye is a human being, not a god, so he will be negligent.

And now...?

About an hour later, the big V continued: [Finance Xiao Wang still doesn't know the whistleblower's report evidence, but a former employee of Deep Blue Films broke the news with certainty that Xin Ye has always had a family and a family, and the couple should More affectionate. 】

This Weibo has an audio, the sound in it has been processed, sharp and harsh: "An old sister who joined Deep Blue Pictures in 1999 said that Mr. Xin's wife is engaged in creation, her brain is hyperactive, and she doesn't sleep well. His lover can calm down and sleep well when he is by his side... So he doesn't arrive early, unless the other party goes out for work... Well, there are three months in a year, and it is basically summer. Then, Mr. Xin's habit until It’s still there now! That old sister left her job a long time ago, I heard about it in 2003! Oh, by the way, I also left my job!”

The big V commented on this: [It is indeed very suspicious... Can a woman stay with you for 16 years, just live together, but not get married?Still willing?No, it's not scientific!Finance Xiao Wang reasonably guessed that the two were married in the United States.This woman has great security. At the same time, Xinye conceals her marital status, so that investors will buy more stocks without worrying about "divorce" causing stock price fluctuations. 】

He popularized science very professionally: [Just last month, in July, Wang Zhean, the founder of Synergy Communications (Hong Kong Stock Exchange stock code 01613), divorced his wife. He transferred 10 billion shares, and his shareholding increased from 24.6% It was reduced to 19.08%. In the following four days, Synergy Communications fell by 21.35%, 18.57%, 12.28% and 24.8% respectively. On July 7, his ex-wife reduced his holdings six times, and the stock price dropped the most by 10%. All of a sudden, The market value of Synergy Communications has evaporated...]

He then said: [Of course, Xiao Wang of Finance also felt that this explanation was a bit far-fetched for choosing a hidden marriage for the sake of stock price.Therefore, this woman is likely to be a shareholder or director of Deep Blue. Xinye and his wife are actually acting in concert, but other people don't know that they are acting in concert... If they are shareholders, they can hide their marriage and have children. Secretly united, if it is an independent director, a woman as an independent director of the company can also quietly help her husband... This explanation is easier to believe and accept. 】

Below, "Little King of Finance" lists all female shareholders and directors, including two unmarried independent directors, and highlights the two who are very good-looking.

This financial professional weibo was immediately transferred out of the circle! !

A lot of melon-eating people said one after another:

[Wow, big melon! ! ! 】

【Is Xin Ye married already...? 】

[Ze tsk tsk tsk, it’s so touching, Xin Ye can’t live without it, this woman [like][like][like]]

[Upstairs +1.The letter disclosure violated the regulations, and the goodwill was damaged. This marriage will be tied up.The domineering president is too spoiled [kneeling]. 】

"This..." Lan Sheng never thought that something could happen to a ring.

Xinye was obviously also caught off guard.

"Xinye..." Xie Lansheng asked, "Even if you are married in the United States, will Deep Blue Films still disclose it?"

"Well," Xin Ye nodded and smiled wryly, "Chinese people marry in the United States, as long as it does not violate the basic principles of Chinese marriage law, the marriage relationship is valid, and the parties do not need to go to the registration authority to re-apply. However, if you want to buy a house, If you want to use a certificate, you must go to a notarization. Therefore, it must be disclosed.”

Lan Sheng: "..."

But they can't announce it.

They're both in the cultural industry, a director, a CEO, who knows what's going to happen.

He asked: "Then, can the Securities Regulatory Commission, can they check the records?"

Xin Ye replied: "As long as the investigation is officially opened, the regulatory agencies of China and the United States can cooperate across borders."

"..."

What should I do?

Is it made public?Was it made public in the form of a scandal?

"Lan Sheng, I didn't violate the rules." Xin Ye said, "Note that there is a premise that American marriage is valid in China: 'as long as it does not violate the basic principles of Chinese marriage law', but same-sex marriage is against it, and Chinese marriage law does not. Admit it. Therefore, there is no danger for Deep Blue as an A-share listed company.”

"……what!"

right.In June of this year, same-sex marriage became legal in all states in the United States, but it is still not allowed in China.

"But..." Xin Ye frowned, "At this juncture, Deep Blue Pictures cannot be investigated by the China Securities Regulatory Commission."

"Ok?"

Xin Ye further explained: "First of all, the China Securities Regulatory Commission will announce the decision, which is a bit dangerous for us." No one in the cultural industry has disclosed that he is gay.

Xinye went on to say: "Secondly, if it is investigated by the Securities Regulatory Commission... Deep Blue's stock price will definitely plummet. The information disclosure is illegal and the huge goodwill has been greatly damaged. The previous hidden marriage shareholders have caused the company's stock price to drop..."

If Deep Blue falls sharply at this time, Golden Crane Insurance and Surging Pictures may really dare to trigger an offer, regardless of whether they will be fully acquired.

In the securities market, black material and scandals are not as good as corporate fraud.There are countless large companies that have gone bankrupt directly because of fraud.

Once reported, the Shanghai Stock Exchange will first issue an inquiry letter, and the reply to the inquiry letter must be 100% truth-telling. Afterwards, if the China Securities Regulatory Commission initiates an investigation, it will issue an "Investigation Notice".It is very difficult to say whether the China Securities Regulatory Commission will establish a case or not.Xinye thought, if this was a marriage between a man and a woman, it would definitely be registered, but it is hard to say now.

Golden Crane Insurance and Surging Pictures reported the ring as soon as they saw it, and they were really wrong.

Lan Sheng felt a little sad and frustrated, and said: "Xinye, I never brought you and Shenlan any real benefits, and I always dragged my feet. I was making literary films and building literary theaters. Now, because of Marriage has caused trouble again, ha." After experiencing life and death in 08, Xie Lansheng wanted to get married very much, to experience the most extreme romance.

"Lan Sheng, Director Xie." Xin Ye hugged his lover, kissed the other's slender neck, and pecked each other, "I can be a husband and wife with you, I can have that wedding, I can recall the moment when I exchanged rings, I can recall 'Toloveyou' , cherishyou, andhonoryou, alldaysinmylife, tillthelastsecondofmylife' oath...I would give it all. Really, everything."

"Xinye..." Lan Sheng slapped his eyelashes.

A little watery.

His lips were gently pressed away.

The author has something to say: Note: "When shareholders holding more than 5% of the shares and their concerted parties increase or decrease their shares by 5%, they need to make an announcement." This is the rule before 2020. The 2020 new version of the "Acquisition Measures" has amended this article and changed it to "An announcement is required for every increase or decrease of 1%.
