Chapter 329 Shunchang is doomed!
AMC made an announcement.
The third season of The Walking Dead has surpassed 15 million viewers! This is another statistic that makes the entire American television industry tremble.
This is a cable TV network. Seven million viewers is already a success. Fifteen million! That's an unimaginable number.
The key point is that the plot of the third season of "The Walking Dead" is only the middle and front part, and there are still a lot of plots to come.
Although the producers of the show have not revealed anything, AMC TV Network revealed in a small meeting that the show may have eight or even nine seasons.
I can’t imagine how much profit it will bring.
"We all knew, we all knew, that this show would continue to break records and set new ratings records."
"As for what the final ratings will be, no one knows."
"As for Dream Vision, they don't even care about this number, because they have no enemies or rivals in front of them. Their only rival is themselves. The new ratings record created today will be their rival tomorrow."
"Do you know what they are doing?"
"They are cutting the scripts for Season 4. They are planning to compress the original 16 episodes into 15 or even 14 episodes."
"After hearing the news, the entire AMC was extremely distressed, and even their hearts were bleeding. Because everyone knows that this is a hit drama, and as long as it is filmed, the ratings will definitely be very high. Therefore, the more episodes there are, the more money they will make. For the same season, we wish we could have 18 or even 20 episodes."
"But... they felt the pace could be better."
"Oh My God……"
“Dream Vision is a company that puts content first. It is full of geniuses and crazy people. After achieving success, they just want to make cooler works, and making money becomes secondary.”
………………………………
After AMC announced a ratings miracle.
Not to be outdone, CBS announced that the ratings for the first season of Stranger Things have exceeded 15 million! And this is the first season.
This result is simply insane!
Another phenomenal hit has emerged.
Leon and Zhang Yin are already married and have successfully bought the house they had been renting for several years.
Because Leon is very handsome, he has already attracted attention in this community. After knowing that he is one of the core screenwriters of the hit TV series "Stranger Things", his family has become the core figures of the entire community.
Having lived here for several years, Zhang Yin had only dabbled in socializing in this community. It was only now that she began to have her own real social life.
Although we can’t be called besties yet.
But, at least I have friends.
She finally understood the joys, sorrows, anger and happiness of these people.
She gradually relaxed, no longer so tense, no longer so nervous as if she was facing a formidable enemy.
On weekends, she can also relax and invite neighbors to her home for a drink.
"Sources have officially revealed to this station that on November 11, Facebook Group will officially be listed on the Nasdaq."
"By then, more than $10 billion will be raised, and Facebook's market value is likely to exceed $100 billion, roughly between $110 billion and $130 billion."
“As for why November 11 was chosen, the most likely reason is because it is the founder’s birthday.”
"So, this is a birthday gift from Facebook Group Chairman Ms. Wu Lingxi to Lin. So it seems that the rumors between the two are not groundless."
Among Zhang Yin’s friends, two are Chinese, one is white, and one is black.
It’s not deliberate political correctness. On the contrary, black people in the United States who have decent jobs and decent incomes are easy to get along with.
"Oh my god! $130 billion?!"
"It's totally unbelievable. This number is beyond my imagination."
"Zhang, does the Dream World where your husband works belong to the Facebook Group?"
Zhang Yin: "No, it is independent. It is parallel to the Facebook Group. They are both part of the Lin Empire."
A friend asked: "What is the market value of this Dream Vision?"
Zhang Yin: "I don't know. All the core shareholders of Facebook Group didn't want to go public. It took more than two years before they were forced to go public. Dream Vision is the spiritual empire that Mr. Lin Xiao values the most, so the possibility of going public is not high. However, the outside world's valuation of it must be over 10 billion."
"No, no, no, you completely underestimate its market value." The black neighbor is a securities practitioner. She listed them all: "Currently, Huanmeng Vision has more than 15 super IPs in its hands. The value of these IPs alone is far more than 10 billion. There is a saying in investment banks now, as long as you can convince Huanmeng Vision to go public, you will become a new billionaire."
The Chinese female neighbor looks at the photos on the wall.
This is a group photo of Lin Xiao, Leon, and Zhang Yin.
Zhang Yin stood in the middle. Even though her smile was unnatural and a little embarrassed,... at this time she was still the envy of the entire community.
“Oh my god, you have a friend who’s a super billionaire.”
And every time Zhang Yin would explain clearly: "No, no, no, he is our idol. My husband and I are both his big fans, so I hung the photo here."
As for the fact that she and Li Zhongtian had become relatively core members of Lin Xiao's entrepreneurial team, she would not tell anyone about this.
She is very satisfied with her life now.
Her plan is to get pregnant, have a baby, and then return to work.
Of course, she has clearly seen the ceiling at HP. If she feels the need to focus on her family after giving birth to a child, then she will do so.
But if she still wants a career, she might choose Facebook or YouTube.
……………………
Facebook Group's IPO could have a market value of $120 billion.
This news exploded around the world.
It was like a huge rock hitting a pond, causing huge waves.
Especially in the country.
Many people around the world were shocked. Wasn’t it said to be 30 billion US dollars?
Two years ago during the economic crisis, the chairman of Nasdaq’s board of directors personally visited Facebook and invited Lin Xiao and Wu Lingxi to visit Nasdaq’s headquarters. He said at the time that the company was going to go public and that its market value might exceed 30 billion by then.
How come it suddenly became 120 billion US dollars now?
This number is too crazy.
How many billionaires will this create?
The entire domestic Internet and even many TV stations are discussing it.
Is Facebook Group’s market value of 120 billion US dollars too overestimated? Will it fall below the issue price after listing?
Because in the eyes of many people, this number is really unbelievable.
“You find it incredible, but I think this valuation is normal.”
"Let me show you their latest financial report. This year's revenue is about $6 billion. It doesn't seem like much, right? It's not even close to some giants like Sony."
"Sony Group's revenue this year may exceed 90 billion, but its market value is only about 36 billion US dollars."
"In terms of revenue alone, Facebook Group is only a dozen times that of Sony Group, but its market value is three or four times that of Sony Group."
"But do you know how much profit Facebook Group made? $3.3 billion, with a profit margin of 55%."
"Looking at the growth rate, compared with last year, Facebook Group's revenue and profit growth have exceeded 50%."
"And with the deepening of mobile Internet, this growth momentum has not only not weakened, but has become even stronger."
“So the $120 billion valuation may seem a bit high now, but in two or three years, it will not only not seem high, but will seem greatly underestimated.”
………………………………
With Facebook Group about to go public, its market value is almost astronomical.
Someone asked this question, what about the Lightning Group?
If it goes public, what will be the market value of Lightning Group? Because Lightning Group is not a listed company, it does not have public financial reports.
Even the Lightning Group itself dared not announce it.
For a few years, Lightning Group's revenue was lower than that of Facebook Group overseas, but in the past two years it has begun to catch up strongly.
Although advertising revenue is far lower than that of Facebook overseas, the gaming business is extremely profitable.
There is another business, which is Lightning Entertainment.
For two years, Lightning Entertainment's revenue growth slowed down because most of its revenue came from variety show copyrights.
However, with the explosion of movie box office in recent years, Lightning Entertainment is not only the producer and distributor, but also the powerful party, so it basically takes about 40% of the box office share.
so……
This year, Lightning Group’s revenue will definitely exceed RMB 30 billion, but we don’t know how much it will exceed.
Moreover, Lightning Group's profit margin exceeds 50%.
The growth rate also exceeded 50%.
So, once Lightning Group goes public, what will its market value be?
God knows.
However, many financial experts and media outlets put it bluntly.
Once Lightning Group goes public, its market value may be no less than that of Facebook Group, or slightly lower.
In other words, two trillion-dollar empires will be born.
……………………………………
Liao Feng is coming out soon.
Because I hold the deep flame of hatred, I dare not forget it for even a single day.
He only thought about taking revenge when he got out one day.
He wants to start a business again.
After spending a few years in prison, he figured out a lot of things.
I also figured out the core reason why I failed.
He even thought about the future direction of his business.
result……
I saw this news while watching TV.
Facebook Group is confirmed to go public, and its market value may exceed US$120 billion.
Wu Lingxi officially became the global Internet queen.
When he heard this number, his mind went completely blank again.
Like a thunderclap, it struck his soul hard.
Wasn't it 30 billion US dollars before? How did it suddenly become 120 billion?
Once, for just a few hundred million dollars and a mere valuation of 2 billion dollars, he had a complete falling out with Wu Lingxi, and took a risk and joined Wang Fengyou's illegal activities.
In just a few years, Wu Lingxi controlled industries worth more than 120 billion US dollars.
Is it true that I have only been in prison for a few days, but have lived in the world for a thousand years? Then...what is the meaning of my struggle after I get out of prison? He was obsessed with revenge and wanted to defeat Lin Xiao again.
And it is not impossible that he feels that he has the support of one of the largest political and business groups in the country.
But hundreds of billions of dollars? This was a number he couldn't even imagine.
A few days later!
The pride of the Liao family has always whipped Liao Feng, making him maintain his hatred and stay motivated. Liao Er came to visit him.
Liao Feng couldn't believe it. He looked at his second brother in front of him. How could he have aged ten years in less than a year, and had so many white hairs? He was not even forty yet.
"Two things."
"The first thing is that Lian Zheng is going to become Zhijiang's second-in-command, probably next year."
Liao Feng was stunned. Is this flying? Is this the whole movie?
He just joined the team last year, right?
But this signal is not good, it means that everyone in that system is ascending.
"The second thing is that I failed in my bid for that position, and there's a possibility that I won't even be able to keep my current position."
Liao Feng trembled and said, "Is it Lin Xiao who is messing with us?"
Liao Er: "No, that's the painful part. He didn't mess with us again."
Well?!
Yes, this is even more painful, or terrifying.
Lin Xiao didn't bother with him, and didn't even put his mind on it.
However, the Liao family had already started to have bad luck.
This means that Lin Xiao doesn’t need to take any action. This wind and this trend alone will bring down the Liao family.
Liao Feng: "You are still so young, they can't stop you for long."
Liao Er smiled bitterly and said, "Their system is unstoppable. I...I might even have trouble landing smoothly."
Liao Feng: "Not really. We have a good relationship with them. We have a long history."
Liao Er: "In just a few years, Lin Xiao has built three powerful systems. One is spiritual public opinion, and the other is industrial upgrading. Half is internal, and half is external. He is invincible."
"Oh, by the way, let me tell you one more thing. You have to be mentally prepared. You will never be able to get out again in this life."
Liao Feng trembled: "I...my sentence is about to end. I will be released next year."
Liao Er: "It is very likely that a new case is already on the way. As soon as your sentence is over, they will arrest you again, interrogate you again, and sentence you again."
Suddenly, Liao Feng's eyes went completely dark.
The original desire for revenge and to make a comeback was completely replaced by fear.
Is this world so dark? Yes, it is.
It’s just that he had always manipulated other people’s fate in this way before.
"Brother, save me, save me..."
"You must save me. I'm still young. I can't stay in there forever."
"Let's go and beg Lin Xiao. I don't want revenge anymore. Go and beg him to let me go."
Liao Feng could hardly hold back his tears. The so-called calmness that he had felt after years of seclusion was completely shattered.
Liao Er: "I told you, he didn't target you at all."
Looking at the gloomy and desperate Liao Feng, Liao Er couldn't help but said: "I will go to Daye Village, you...you should keep a glimmer of hope in your heart."
Daye Village?!
What is that place? Liao Er: "It's Lin Xiao's hometown. I will go there on behalf of the unit to visit Lin Xiao's father and grandfather in the name of visiting lonely elderly people."
"But... this may not work."
"I was just begging for mercy."
"As for whether the other party will respond or not, I have no idea."
Liao Feng cried, "How could it become like this? How could it become like this?"
"That year when we fought him to death, nothing happened. Now that we are not fighting him anymore, we are facing a catastrophe."
He already knew the answer.
Once you become powerful, you don't need to do anything yourself. There are many people who, in order to get on your ship and for huge benefits, will help you eliminate your former enemies to show their determination.
That's the typical sentence.
Why did you fall down before I even made a move?
…………
Note: I have finished the work and would like to ask for your monthly vote.
