Pure actor?
Hearing these five words, Xu Meiting couldn't help but smile, but didn't say anything.
Talk about feelings?
Really... they are all thousand-year-old foxes, why are they showing off here?
Which person worth tens of billions of dollars has made his fortune based on passion?
In her opinion, high-sounding words like sentiment, pattern, mission, etc. are mostly packaged to fool company employees and customers.
When a company develops to a certain level, it serves capital.
Employees may like a boss who talks about feelings, but the market may not buy into your feelings.
An excellent businessman who can make it to the end, even if he is a cultural businessman, should abandon all irrational fantasies, and be ruthless, wise and cold-blooded.
"Ten more minutes."
Faintly noticing the amusement in her expression, Lu Hao remained expressionless, glanced down at his watch, and said in a deep voice.
"Okay, then I'll hurry up. Actually, I came to see you this time for a very important task."
"I have a few friends who are investors, and they're considered some of the world's top investors and investment institutions. I'd like to ask, Mr. Lu, does DreamWorks have any plans for financing or going public?"
Xu Meiting's expression became a little more serious.
Seeking common ground while reserving differences is the basic principle of doing business.
Although he scoffed at Lu Hao's "sentiment", it did not prevent him from talking about business.
Since last year, DreamWorks has been ranked among China's most valuable potential companies, and its ranking is not low, ranking 14th, second only to some rapidly growing Internet companies and technology companies.
DreamWorks' valuation has long exceeded the billion-dollar mark, which is known as a "unicorn" in the industry.
However, to date, DreamWorks has not yet had any round of financing, and the company's equity is 100% in Lu Hao's hands.
Such a company that can generate continuous cash flow is like a golden goose for capital market traders.
It’s a pity not to go public.
Go public?
At this moment, hearing Xu Meiting's words, Lu Hao's mouth twitched slightly. He lit a cigarette again and shook his head.
"I don't know how many people have asked me this question this year. DreamWorks isn't going public. It's not just not this year, nor in the next few years. It's never going public."
In the past, Lu Hao might have been a little hesitant about this matter, but at some point, his mind became completely firm.
There are two kinds of people.
There are also two types of companies.
One is complex and powerful, with connections in all aspects, able to call the shots in the capital market and integrate various resources in upstream and downstream channels.
The other type is simple yet powerful, mysterious, low-key, achieving excellence in a niche field, and concentrating on cultivating inner strength.
Lu Hao hopes DreamWorks can become the latter.
"Why?"
Xu Meiting widened her eyes and asked in confusion.
It would be fine if Lu Hao just didn't want to go public in the next two years, but he actually said that he would never go public?
Are you crazy?
Isn’t the money in the capital market attractive?
Lu Hao remained silent, shook his head and smiled, without answering her question.
"Mr. Lu, do you know how many times the P/E ratio these investment institutions offered DreamWorks? At least fifty times! This is already the limit for a film and television company, even comparable to those extremely high-quality internet companies."
"If DreamWorks were to go public, it would undoubtedly become the top-ranked stock in the film and television industry, and your net worth might even increase by another zero."
Xu Meiting said with a little excitement.
In fact, she has never been a lobbyist.
This is the first time.
But she felt it was worth it. She witnessed and personally facilitated the listing of a company worth hundreds of billions of yuan. This sense of accomplishment was truly unparalleled.
"Multiple zeros?"
"10 billion or 100 billion, what's the difference?"
Lu Hao couldn't help but shook his head and smiled, and asked as if nothing had happened.
This tone...
Xu Meiting and Xu Cong were both speechless.
Taking a deep drag on his cigarette, Lu Hao continued, "Your family has a lot of money, right? The market value is hundreds of billions. Assuming you can live to be a hundred years old and do nothing now, this money is more than enough. How much more do you want?"
Xu Meiting looked at him quietly and couldn't help but retort, "The grace of a gentleman is cut off after five generations. However, the world has developed to this point, capital has dominated everything. Only by passing on capital from generation to generation can an aristocratic family be forged. Even if you don't consider yourself, you should consider future generations, right?"
She has been influenced by these things since she was a child, and with her experience studying abroad, she has a deep understanding of these things.
China's development has only been short, so it is not yet clear what is happening. However, in the capitalist world abroad, these things have long been an unwritten secret among the super-rich.
By establishing charitable foundations, wealth is passed down from generation to generation, and future generations will become rentiers.
The most typical example is the famous Rothschild family, which has been passed down to the sixth generation. The phrase "rich enough to rival a country" is no longer enough to fully describe its size.
This is the pinnacle of the company.
Although it does not have a national organizational and political structure, it can influence or even determine the fate of a country.
Of course, for Chinese companies, whether it is Xu Real Estate Group or DreamWorks, they are still far from this level, but they still have to work in this direction.
Future generations?
Lu Hao tilted his head, waved his hand, and smiled, "Don't think too much. If your descendants are strong, they may not be interested in the kingdom you have built. If they are prodigals, no matter how much you leave them, they will squander it all."
"Okay, time's up. I have to get to work. Please go ahead."
Lu Hao decisively ended the topic.
There is no need to continue the conversation if we have different views.
Lu Hao naturally knew that from the perspective of capital, what Xu Meiting said was correct, but... it was a bit too greedy and very troublesome.
After experiencing the Spring Festival Gala at the end of last year, Lu Hao felt that any trouble other than movies was annoying.
Hearing Lu Hao's order to leave, Xu Meiting looked at him deeply, moved her lips, and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, she swallowed it back.
"Then we'll leave first. Sorry to bother you. I'll invite you to have coffee after the movie is over."
Turn around and leave.
Only after she got out of the house and into the car did Xu Meiting let out a long sigh.
In fact, ever since meeting Lu Hao at the end of last year and after a comprehensive and multi-angle investigation, Xu Feiyang and Xu Group have been showing signs of a possible marriage with DreamWorks.
It may not be Xu Meiting.
Any daughter in the family will do.
However, after this conversation, Xu Meiting finally understood Lu Hao's thoughts.
This young man is hopeless.
Maybe he is really talented, but he knows nothing about this world.
