Chapter 410 Listing Progress
After coming out of the terrace, Fu Yibai chatted with Liu Yongqiang for a few more minutes about the listing progress of Xingmeng Digital Entertainment.
Liu Yongqiang said that the audit report has been issued and the securities firm is going through the final application process. It is expected that the company will be listed on the Shenzhen ChiNext board by the end of this year.
Star Dream Digital Entertainment's profit figures are impressive. The revenue from its two cash cows, "League of Legends" and "Three Kingdoms Kill," has been steadily increasing. It doesn't need financing; it can go straight for an IPO.
After listening, Fu Yibai nodded, patted Liu Yongqiang on the shoulder, and told him to keep a close eye on the financial data for the last few months to prevent any problems before the IPO.
After leaving the sixteenth floor, Fu Yibai did not return to the twenty-eighth floor, but took the elevator directly down to the sixth floor.
Lin Wei's office door was ajar, and the sound of typing could be heard from inside.
Fu Yibai knocked twice on the door frame and pushed the door open to go inside.
Lin Wei looked up, her typing stopping.
"Mr. Fu."
"What are you busy with?"
Fu Yibai sat down in the chair opposite the desk.
"I'm reviewing training reports for a few new employees."
Lin Wei turned the monitor to the side, and the screen showed several videos of celebrities' physical fitness assessments.
"Li Yitong's dance foundation is indeed solid, and her posture teacher gave her a very high evaluation."
Zhang Tianai has made great progress in her acting lessons; she's much more relaxed and natural than when she first signed with the company.
"That's good.
How's the IPO going?
Lin Wei took a folder out of the drawer, turned to the latest page, and handed it to her.
"The audit just finished last week, and the securities firms have already started working on it. We expect to be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange by the end of the year."
"No need for financing?"
"unnecessary."
Lin Wei's tone was very confident.
"Binbin and his team's commercial value has grown explosively in the past two years."
Binbin's endorsement and film fees alone are equivalent to those of a medium-sized company, and Hu Jing and Deng Chao's film contracts are already booked until the year after next.
Add to that the profits from second- and third-tier artists, and the IPO is more than enough to cover the costs.
The brokerage firm's advice was also to avoid financing and simply list the shares, allowing existing shareholders to make them available for trading.
Fu Yibai took the folder and flipped through two pages; the financial data filled an entire page.
Lin Wei has always been known for her steady and reliable work style, so he had no worries about entrusting the listing to her.
"What are those new recruits busy with now?"
Fu Yibai changed the subject.
"Everything is proceeding step by step."
Lin Wei pulled another document from the table.
"Li Yitong has taken on the second female lead role in a period drama and will join the cast next week."
Zhang Tianai played the lead role in a self-produced drama on Nebula Video, and the director said she was very talented.
Naza and Jin Chen have been appearing on variety shows recently, and the response has been good.
Zhu Yilong and Bai Yu have each landed the male lead role in a web series, and they're both filming in Hengdian.
"What about Huang Mengying and Li Chun?"
"After all, they are both freshmen at Beijing Film Academy. They have to attend classes during the week, so the announcements can only be scheduled on weekends and during winter and summer vacations."
I arranged some acting training classes and auditions for a few minor roles for them, to let them solidify their basic skills first.
Lin Wei paused.
"These two girls are quite sensible; they've never complained about anything."
Fu Yibai stood up.
"Alright, you can go ahead with your work."
Keep a close eye on the IPO; contact me anytime if you have any questions.
"clear."
After leaving Lin Wei's office, Fu Yibai stood in the corridor and glanced at the time.
He decided not to go upstairs. He sent Zhang Xinyu a message asking her to come downstairs, then entered the elevator and pressed the down button.
The elevator stopped briefly on the fifth floor, the doors opened, and Li Yitong appeared in the doorway.
"Mr. Fu!"
"It's Yitong. Where are you going?"
Li Yitong entered the elevator, and the elevator doors closed.
"I just finished asking the teacher for advice on acting and am about to go back to the dormitory."
"Are you getting used to living in the dorm?"
"I'm used to it. The dormitory conditions are very good, much more spacious than the school dormitory."
"That's good."
The elevator was quiet for two seconds afterward.
"Do you have plans for tonight?"
Li Yitong paused for a moment, then turned her head to look at Fu Yibai.
"no."
"Let's have a meal together."
A new Cantonese restaurant recently opened nearby; I heard the food is pretty good.
"..."
Li Yitong hesitated for a moment.
Just when Fu Yibai thought she was going to find an excuse to refuse, Li Yitong nodded slightly.
"it is good."
The elevator stopped on the first floor, the doors opened, and a few employees who were working overtime were walking out of the lobby.
Fu Yibai and Li Yitong waited in the lobby for two minutes before Zhang Xinyu came out of the elevator.
"Mr. Fu, the car is ready."
"Okay, let's not go home first, let's eat here."
Fu Yibai showed Zhang Xinyu an address.
"OK."
The Cantonese restaurant is not far from the company, less than a ten-minute drive.
Fu Yibai booked a small private room. When he pushed open the door, three sets of bowls and chopsticks were already set on the table.
Li Yitong sat down opposite Fu Yibai and placed her bag on the chair next to her.
Zhang Xinyu took the menu from the waiter.
"Mr. Fu."
"For Yitong."
Zhang Xinyu handed the menu to Li Yitong, who flipped through two pages and then put it down.
"Please order, Mr. Fu. I'll eat anything."
Fu Yibai took the menu, flipped through it, and ordered a few signature dishes.
He handed the menu to the waiter, who took it and left the private room, gently closing the door behind him.
The private room fell silent.
The faint sounds of clinking glasses and exchanging toasts could be heard from the next room.
