The Best Entertainment Era

On a very ordinary Monday in mid-July, the early morning sun has not yet risen from the tall buildings in Manhattan, and the front of the New York Stock Exchange on the south side of the corner of Wall Street and Broadway is crowded with people.

Among them, there are ordinary stockholders waiting for the opening of the New York Stock Exchange, and there are also media reporters holding long guns and short cannons.

They are all waiting for one thing, a major event in the stock market - Netflix rings the bell and goes public!

IPO, such treatment...

Mario, a professional reporter from the Wall Street Journal, said to his colleagues next to him: It's been a long time.

The female reporter from the New York Times looked at hundreds of colleagues gathered nearby and said, When Google went public last year, it wasn't such a grand occasion, right?

Mario smiled and said, Google is listed, did the New York Times send someone?

No. The female reporter was very sure of this: No one came to report.

Mario said: Using Wall Street's comments, this is the most sensational new stock listing after 2000.

The other party is a media that specializes in financial reports, and the female reporter specifically asked, What's the attitude of Wall Street?

They all smelled blood, Mario said. They couldn't wait to share, so there was no need to worry about selling Netflix stock.

The female reporter exclaimed: A new super rich is about to be born.

Mario specifically corrected: Ronan Anderson has long been a super rich man.

The female reporter nodded lightly: The richest young man in the United States. She noticed the commotion in the crowd, hurriedly went to look, and said, Here we come!

A black Rolls-Royce Phantom crossed Broadway and stopped in front of the New York Stock Exchange. The door was pulled open by the bodyguards who came from behind, and three people got out of the car. This is exactly what the financial securities market is paying close attention to. Ronan Anderson, Robert Iger and Mark Randolph.

The heads of Goldman Sachs and Nasdaq, who had been waiting in front of the New York Stock Exchange, greeted them immediately.

The media reporters raised their cameras and took pictures almost frantically. If it weren't for the many security personnel blocking them, the wave of reporters would have drowned the group of people.

The female reporter was also taking pictures, and said at the same time: I didn't expect Ronan Anderson to look so young.

Mario said: This is a wealth myth!

So rich and so handsome! The female reporter lamented, God is so unfair!

Mario chimed in: God is always so unfair!

At the entrance of the New York Stock Exchange, a group of people are shaking hands.

We've been looking forward to this for a long time, Lloyd Blankfein, Goldman's president and chief operating officer, told Ronan.

Ronan said politely, Thank you for the operation of Goldman Sachs.

The cameras of the media reporters were basically aimed at Ronan, and the frequency of the flashing lights was so fast that it was too late to blink.

No way, almost all the shares of Netflix Network are under the control of Relativity Entertainment, and the equity of Relativity Entertainment is basically owned by Ronan.

The meaning of this,

It is clear to all.

In the eyes of the reporter, there seemed to be a line of golden characters flashing on Ronan's head - super rich!

Come inside. A person in charge of Nasdaq said to Ronan.

Ronan nodded slightly, and walked towards the main entrance of the New York Stock Exchange. He could feel that almost everyone's eyes were on him.

At this moment, he is a superstar in the financial securities market.

Mr. Anderson, look this way!

Ronan, smile!

Reporters shouted one after another.

Ronan was not affected, and walked into the gate of the New York Stock Exchange while smiling and nodding to both sides.

In the main hall of the exchange, investor representatives and media representatives had been waiting for a long time, especially the investors, when they saw Ronan, they seemed to see walking dollars.

I don't know who was the first to clap their palms, and then the applause was continuous.

The three of Ronan shook hands with the investors one after another. No matter what, the fact that Netflix was able to go public amidst all the attention had something to do with the support of the investors.

Thank you. Ronan's performance in public has always been very decent: Thank you for your support!

He shook hands with investor representatives one by one: Your support is an honor for Netflix and Relativity Entertainment.

A media reporter who entered the New York Stock Exchange asked, Mr. Anderson, can I ask a few questions?

Connie, who was behind Ronan, took a step forward and said, After the listing, I will set aside a period of time for interviews with friends from the media.

The media reporter did not continue to ask, and knew what everyone was waiting for now.

The person in charge of Nasdaq said at this time: Please go this way.

Lloyd Blankfein also gestured please, patted Ronan, Robert Iger and Mark Randolph and walked towards the place where the bell was ringing.

Don't worry. Lloyd Blankfein whispered to Ronan: Everything is going well, there will be no accidents.

Ringing the bell and listing is a ritual, more of a symbolic meaning. In fact, the work of stock sales has already been done in advance, and the business of distribution has already reached an agreement.

Ronan whispered, Thank you very much for Goldman Sachs' support.

We are win-win. Lloyd - Blankfein said with a smile: I hope we will have more cooperation in the future.

Ronan smiled and said: There will be, and I hope to continue to cooperate.

The status of Wall Street in the capital market is unquestionable. Although it is full of vampires, it is also full of opportunities.

Both sides are profit-oriented, as long as each other can see the benefits, there is a basis for cooperation.

Lloyd Blankfein suddenly thought of something, and reminded in a low voice: Someone on Wall Street is absorbing and raising funds, and it is said that they are planning to enter Hollywood and the film industry.

Ronan thought of the origin of the name of his company, Relativity Entertainment, and asked with great interest, Have they established a film company? Do they have an official name?

Not yet. Lloyd Blankfein said: I will pay attention to this aspect, and I will notify you as soon as there is any new news.

The time to ring the bell has arrived, and a large number of photographers have already set up their cameras and waited here.

The Internet age has arrived, and Internet companies are also different from traditional companies. Netflix's listing this time is very high-profile from the operation period to the bell-ringing ceremony.

The eyeball effect plays a considerable role in attracting Internet companies.

In the trading hall, countless traders, media reporters and investors looked at the big screens everywhere, waiting for the moment when Netflix went public.

Compared with investors in large companies and institutions, it is difficult for retail investors to obtain shares in Netflix Network, and everything has to wait for listing.

But Netflix stock is already very hot.

A client wearing glasses told his trader: Put up a buy order immediately after the market opens, no matter what the stock price of Netflix is, and buy it at a premium of 20%!

What about the quantity? the trader asked.

No limit! The customer's eyes were red: All the funds in my account have been mobilized, and the more stocks I can buy, the better!

The popularity of Netflix Internet listing is much more crazy than that of Google last year. This client thinks that he can see very clearly that Google can only rely on a single business, and its stock price can skyrocket all the way. What about Netflix?

The future will only rise even more crazy!

If you don't start now, you will only regret it in the future!

Because of the case of Google’s stock price soaring after the listing, coupled with the huge business of Netflix itself and its leading position in the industry, countless individual investors’ eyes are red.

In the VIP customer area of ​​the trading floor, Richard Fuld of Lehman Brothers walked around anxiously, raising his hand to look at his watch every ten seconds.

Calm down. The companion next to him reminded.

Richard Fuld said: This is an excellent investment opportunity, but Ronan Anderson refused to cooperate with us! Damn! With the popularity of Netflix network, if the investment can be achieved, how much profit can we make?

He was about to turn around anxiously: First Ronan Anderson and Relativity Entertainment, then Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, these bastards are targeting Lehman Brothers, and we are going to the New York Stock Exchange to snap up shares of Netflix Network!

The companion next to him said: The competition on Wall Street is more intense and bloody than Hollywood.

Richard Fuld said: Today's panic buying is just the beginning. If one day Lehman Brothers can become a major shareholder, I will definitely find a way to drive Ronan Anderson away from Relativity Entertainment and Netflix!

The companion pressed his hands down: Calm down, don't let your anger affect your judgment.

Richard Fuld took a deep breath, gradually calmed down, and said, It's not easy today!

After all, those words are just talk. It is not an easy task to snap up as many shares of Netflix Network as possible when the market is optimistic, even if Lehman Brothers is rich and powerful.

Richard Fuld shook his head, looked at his watch again, and waited for this financing feast to start.

Mr. Anderson. The person in charge of Nasdaq invited: Please come here.

Ronan did not step forward immediately, but said to Robert Iger and Mark Randolph: Bob, Mark, let's go together.

The importance of Robert Iger and Mark Randolph to the company cannot be overstated.

The two of them did not refuse, and followed Ronan to the stage.

The three stood in a zigzag shape, posing together.

The reporters and cameramen on the opposite side took pictures one after another, recording this moment!

For Netflix, this will be a historic moment.

Internet companies not only need popularity, but also need huge financial support. Financing and listing is the most suitable way.

Lloyd Blankfein stepped forward to remind Ronan: It's time.

Ronan nodded slightly to Robert Iger and Mark Randolph, and the three worked together to ring the big bell of the New York Stock Exchange.

The crisp sound spread throughout the New York Stock Exchange, and Ronan hugged his two partners one by one.

In the trading hall, there was a burst of applause and cheers, and with the official opening of the market, the applause and cheers quickly fell, leaving only a busy scene.
