Separating [See Moon] out from the others is something that Nanaya had wanted to do for a long time.
This time, taking advantage of the opportunity of asset restructuring under Washimine Entertainment, it is natural to split it up.
The reason for splitting [See Moon] is also very simple, that is to divide the pie.
In the past two years, Washimine has grown bigger and bigger, and has attracted the interest of many people outside, whether it is Japanese financial groups or major institutions on Wall Street, they all hope to get a piece of the pie from the rapidly developing Washimine.
However, Washimine's share assets are very simple, and most of the shares are concentrated in the hands of major shareholders.
Although as a listed company, Washimine also has a number of stocks on the stock market, these are mostly concentrated in the hands of retail investors, and it is too troublesome for large groups to acquire them.
Moreover, this portion of shares is too small and cannot meet the needs of these big sharks.
But they didn't have any better solution.
First of all, Washimine is a Japanese consortium and it was listed in Japan.
And as mentioned before, as a century-old company, Washimine has a very simple equity structure, and it would be difficult for them to split it up even if they tried.
It is still difficult for Wall Street institutions to get involved.
The situation for those Japanese tycoons is even more difficult. Washimine has a high status in Japan, and they are not afraid of you if you want to use your power to suppress others.
However, the behavior of always eating alone will naturally cause jealousy. In the past few years, Washimine's reputation has been declining, and this group of people have also contributed to this.
Don't think that these people don't dare. Those guys will do anything for money.
A few years ago, a lot of negative news about Tom Cruise was exposed, causing his reputation to drop drastically.
Because during that period, Tom Cruise and Paramount were arguing over the copyright and profit distribution of "Mission Impossible".
After Spider-Man: Far From Home, there have been endless reports of Marvel and Sony breaking up and getting back together, with a new explanation every day.
Isn't it because Disney wants to modify the profit-sharing agreement, and as one of the few IPs that Sony can show off, Sony wants to protect its own interests?
After all, all these troubles are caused by money.
Therefore, instead of letting these people keep a close eye on your company, it is better to throw out some bait to ease the conflicts among all parties.
Let's make money together.
Besides, only with the common interests of all parties can [See Moon] become a force that cannot be ignored in Hollywood, just like Netflix in its previous life.
Moreover, [See Moon] is not an unnecessary asset. As broadband becomes more popular in various countries, this video website has been showing a rapid development pattern.
Currently, [See Moon] has nearly 100 million registered users, and the number of paying users has reached tens of millions.
Although the payment ratio is only one-tenth, this user traffic is something that no one can ignore.
According to valuations by professional institutions, the assets of [Moon World Digital Technology Co., Ltd.], whose product is [See Moon], have reached over 10 billion US dollars.
Of course, this valuation is based on website traffic, so there is a lot of water in it, but it also shows the current popularity of [See Moon].
Moreover, Washimine was very sincere this time and directly took out 40% of [Moon World Digital Technology Co., Ltd.] and distributed it to the outside world.
This part of the shares was distributed to major entertainment companies that have been cooperating with Washimine, and even those investment institutions on Wall Street had a share.
The ones that got the biggest bite were naturally Japan's Dentsu and Linbao, as well as the Big Six in Hollywood, and even Sony Columbia got a portion of the shares.
The only exception was 20th Century Fox, which received no shares.
It was announced that Fox was unable to purchase shares because too much cash flow was tied up in James Cameron's new work.
But the actual reason is only known to both parties of the transaction.
In addition to these entertainment giants, some Wall Street investment institutions also acquired a portion of the shares.
Although this amount of shares is still too small for these greedy guys, it can at least shut them up temporarily.
What is more surprising is that George Lucas, in the name of Lucasfilm, and James Cameron, in their personal capacity, each obtained a portion of shares.
Although the number is small, the significance is extraordinary. Some people even speculate that these two big guys are trying to develop in-depth cooperation with Washimine Entertainment.
In fact, Nanaya has high expectations for [See Moon], hoping that this video website can become a combination of YouTube and Netflix in the previous life.
If there is an opportunity, it can even be arranged for listing separately.
If a video website wants to maintain its leading position, a large and unique video library is a must.
This is also why we need to bring in the entertainment giants. Only in this way can we ensure that a large number of Hollywood movies can be released on the website as soon as possible.
In fact, after seeing the popularity of [See Moon], YouTube and Netflix have successively launched corresponding functions.
But neither of them can reach the level of [See Moon]
YouTube, which mainly features homemade videos, cannot compare with [See Moon] in terms of traffic due to its latecomer status.
Even if YouTube poaches some UP hosts with its price advantage, it is hard to say how long this money-burning model can last.
As for Netflix, due to the priority network broadcasting rights that [See Moon] had signed with various companies earlier, Netflix's film library has always been inferior to [See Moon].
In addition, Netflix itself has internal business competition in physical DVD rentals.
In the short term, Netflix simply cannot compare to [See Moon].
After HF logs on to the website, various original web dramas will begin to be launched one after another. I believe that the traffic of [See Moon] will explode further at that time.
What is the most profitable business in the world?
Of course it is a monopoly business.
I have what you don't, and then I'll squeeze you out of the market.
Such business competition has taken place countless times and will continue to exist in the future.
However, compared to the content of [See Moon] that investors are very concerned about, ordinary people are more concerned about the first half of this news.
That is to say, Nanaya Kiryu will directly obtain 9.2% of the shares of Washimine Group.
Compared with things like the investment world which have nothing to do with them, gossip-like news about personal wealth is what they pay more attention to.
Currently, the market value of Washimine Group has exceeded 70 billion US dollars. This time, Nanaya obtained 9.2% of the shares, which means that the director's wealth has directly exceeded 6.5 billion US dollars.
And this is not the end. With the huge success of FZ, Washimine's stock began to rise again.
The success of the Fate and Marvel series, the huge sales of Wii, and the opening of [See Moon] to external investors.
This series of good news has made the market value of Washimine Corporation begin to advance towards 100 billion US dollars.
Under such circumstances, Nanaya, a boy who came from a poor mountain village, became one of the richest people in Japan.
You have to know that in 2007, the most famous Japanese billionaire, Mr. Sun, had assets of around 6 billion US dollars.
Of course, there are many hidden rich people in Japan, and there are many who are richer than Nanaya.
In addition, most of Nanaya's assets are linked to Washimine's market value, so the total assets fluctuate greatly.
But Nanaya is currently the brightest star on the Japanese rich list.
He is young (not yet 35 years old), rich (his personal assets have a chance to exceed 10 billion US dollars), powerful (the power of a world-famous director), and handsome (at least more handsome than a middle-aged fat uncle). These conditions make Nanaya the object of pursuit by women all over the world.
Just when the men were lamenting why they were not as rich as this guy, the women had already tried to contact Nanaya through various means and tried to get something for nothing.
This time was far crazier than the idol finals at the beginning of the year. It was the first time that Nanaya knew there were so many women in this world.
Have you ever seen a man being blocked in the toilet by a woman and having his pants pulled down?
Not only had he seen Nanaya, he was also the one who was stripped.
During a break in an FZ promotional event, Nanaya was pushed against the wall by a woman who rushed in when he went to the bathroom.
I don't know where this woman got so much strength from, Nanaya was unable to break free.
In the end, if Ori hadn't rushed in in time to save people, Nanaya estimated that her virginity would have been lost in the toilet.
"It's the first time I know that women are such terrible creatures."
Nanaya said with lingering fear afterwards.
Ori put her hands on her chest and said disdainfully: "I think the greater possibility is that the senior thinks this woman is not pretty, right?"
"…"
"Actually, I think there's nothing wrong with you doing it. She doesn't want to be your wife. She just wants you to play a role. Besides, she's not ugly."
Of course not ugly, it can even be beautiful.
However, Nanaya already has Sakura, Rin and Shion, all of whom are first-class beauties, and his taste has long been spoiled by them.
"Forget it. I really can't do it in the bathroom. The floor is too hard. Even in the car, there is still a place to lie down."
Nanaya finally found a reason.
But no matter how you look at it, it's just an excuse.
However, Nanaya no longer appears in public. Fortunately, there was only one person this time, and Ori was able to handle it.
What if several of them come at the same time? Will he be robbed and torn into pieces like Xiang Yu?
So, on the one hand, Nanaya asked Shion to find him a few bodyguards, while he himself finished the promotion work of FZ ahead of schedule and went back to Hollywood to film.
Since it concerns Nanaya's life safety, Shion of course takes it very seriously.
She immediately asked someone to transfer the publicity work for Nanaya to other crew members, and she herself took time out to visit the Hollywood set.
