Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 469: Landing on Nasdaq (Large Chapter)
2004, December 8.

Nasdaq, New York.

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard came together to the bell ringing ceremony hall of the listed company on the first floor.

As soon as I reached the door, a beautiful hostess in a dress came to greet me.

"Sir, can I see your invitation?" the etiquette lady asked with a smile and bowed.

"Of course." Depp politely returned the greeting and handed over the invitation.

The etiquette lady took the invitation, confirmed it, and said with a smile, "Sir, please follow me."

After saying that, she led the two of them along the red carpet at the door and walked into the hall.

The guests invited to attend the listing bell ringing ceremony of Linyuan Pictures today can be roughly divided into three categories:

The first category is friends in the film and television industry, including some film company owners, producers, directors, and actors who have worked with Lin Yuan before. Depp belongs to this category.

The hostess will guide them to the area where Mr. Eisen and Taylor Swift are, and they will be responsible for receiving the guests.

The second category is friends from financial institutions, most of whom were partners in Lin Yuan’s past capital operations, including sponsors, securities firms, cornerstone investors, etc.

The etiquette lady will guide these guests to Betty's area, and she will be responsible for receiving the guests.

The third category is completely personal friends. The etiquette lady will guide this type of people to the area where GAKKI is, and she will be responsible for the reception.

Why GAKKI sauce?
Because a few days ago, she had officially become Lin Yuan's personal assistant.

With the experience of hosting large-scale events such as the Second World Kendo Tournament, it is naturally a small problem for him to be responsible for the official launch bell ringing ceremony today.

Amber Heard is 18 years old, 1 meters tall, and wearing a dazzling golden dress.

As she walked, the hem of her clothes swayed gently with every graceful movement, as warm and dazzling as the afternoon sun.

The delicate lace adorns the collar and cuffs, adding a touch of retro softness.

Her slender figure looks even hotter against the backdrop of the golden dress, and the red high heels further amplify the hotness.

I have to say, this is a beauty that is unforgettable at first sight.

No wonder Depp still got involved even though Lin Yuan and Meng Tao both expressed pessimism.

"It's so worth coming here today. Guess who I saw? Director Cameron, Director Spielberg, and Director Lucas!" Amber said excitedly: "Just looking at these guests, I thought I was at the Oscars!"

Depp rolled his eyes. This woman was indeed extremely beautiful, but her vision was indeed very narrow.

The guests present today can be said to be a gathering of powerful people. If they throw a brick, it may hit people who are more powerful than those big directors she mentioned.

What is a great director?
Standing not far ahead was the CEO of Disney, who was talking with Sony President Nobuyuki Idei.

A little further away was the head of the Boston Consortium, who was smiling and talking to Lin Yuan about something.

A little further away is the president of JPMorgan Chase (JPMorgan), a 60-year-old man, who is talking with the new president of Morgan Stanley, Miss Betty Adams.

Which of these people is not more powerful than those big directors?

He is a real big shot who can make a so-called big star like him full by just shaking off the leftovers.

Although Depp complained about Amber in his heart, he soon realized: After all, she is just an 18-year-old girl, and he is 41 years old this year. He has experienced much more than her and has a higher vision, which seems to be natural.

For men, it is not necessarily a good thing for a woman to be too smart.

When a woman grows up and has higher standards, she will start to be picky about men in various ways.

An 18-year-old girl is still better. She has never seen the world, so no matter what you do, it will be so great in her eyes. She will only look at you with admiration.

Unlike those women over 30, whose eyes are on top of their heads.

This is why Depp only chooses young girls.

He smiled and said, "Today I will introduce you to a few more people, so that you can easily get the resources for your next play."

"Really? You're so nice." Amber happily hugged Depp and gave him a gentle kiss on the face.

I don't dare to kiss too hard, as it will leave lip marks, which are not convenient to clean.

Depp carefully took out a mirror and confirmed that Amber was very sensible and did not leave any marks on him. Then he took her forward and came to Mr. Eisen.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Eisen," Depp greeted.

"It's Depp, welcome. This must be Miss Heard, right? She is as beautiful as the rumors say." Mr. Eisen replied with a smile.

His serious expression is directed at outsiders. Johnny Depp is considered one of his own, so Mr. Eisen does not have a stern face.

"Mr. Eisen, I finally meet you. Your deeds are simply well-known to me, especially the legendary story of you and Mr. Lin Yuan working hand in hand to create a miracle in the film industry. It makes me feel excited every time I hear it." Amber excitedly held Mr. Eisen's hands tightly.

It’s hard to say whether she was really excited, but the look in her eyes showed that she was quite excited.

I have to say that Amber's words touched Mr. Eisen's heart.

In the past few years, his greatest achievement in life was to personally build up a legend like Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan has made a triple jump from an unknown little actor to a world superstar, a legendary superstar, and finally a player at the capital table.

Lin Yuan's development was so rapid that even Mr. Eisen, his partner, was caught off guard.

But the more successful Lin Yuan is, the more fame Mr. Eisen, who works alongside him, will gain.

This is what Mr. Eisen is most proud of.

Amber used this matter to compliment Mr. Eisen, which naturally made Mr. Eisen very happy.

He smiled and replied, "What's there for an old man like me to know? I'm about to retire. But you young people can communicate more. This is Taylor, Taylor Swift, my successor."

Mr. Eisen smiled and introduced Taylor Swift who was standing next to him to Amber.

Taylor Swift walked up, smiled, and shook hands with Amber. "Nice to meet you. I'm Taylor Swift," she said.

When Amber heard that this was Mr. Eisen's successor, which meant that having a good relationship with her would definitely get her more film and television resources, the smile on her face became even wider.

Holding Depp as her meal ticket, she didn't dare to get too close to Mr. Eisen. After all, he was also a man, and she needed to consider Depp's feelings.

But when facing Taylor, she didn't have such concerns.

So Amber excitedly reached out and held Taylor Swift's hand.

The two blonde beauties are equally tall, Amber is 1 meters tall and Taylor is 7 meters tall. The two of them standing together are a beautiful landscape, and the guests passing by couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"This may be the first time you see me, but I have seen you countless times. I like your songs very much and I am your fan." Amber said familiarly.

Taylor smiled and shook her hand, but kept a certain distance: "Really? Thank you for liking my song."

Taylor Swift had heard Lin Yuan talk about this woman and had a very ordinary impression of her.

"I not only like your songs, but I also like the MVs you shot. Every MV you shot with Mr. Lin Yuan is so classic. Every time I watch your MV, I can empathize with you and fall into that strong atmosphere of love. It's really touching." Amber continued.

I have to say that Amber Heard is really talented when it comes to being likable.

If she just praised Taylor Swift's songs, Taylor Swift would not look at her with new eyes.

But when Amber praised Taylor Swift and Lin Yuan's MV, it really hit Taylor Swift's sore spot.

Taylor Swift was in a good mood and felt that Amber looked much more pleasing to the eye, and the two began to have a lively conversation.

This scene was seen by Lin Yuan who was not far away.

Although he doesn't like Amber Heard as a person, it is mainly because she is too utilitarian and sometimes does things unscrupulously. Such a person is not a good match for Depp.

But he also knew that all his bad impressions of Amber came from his past life.

In this life, Amber met Depp at the age of 18. Perhaps different life experiences will lead her and Depp to different paths. It is hard to say.

But Amber's performance today made him see the talent of a top socialite.

Maybe you can really consider recruiting her into your own company and have her work with Taylor Swift and GAKKI-chan in public relations?
Lin Yuan was quite relaxed at this time. Apart from chatting with important guests for a few minutes, he basically ignored all the things.

Mr. Eisen and Taylor Swift were responsible for receiving people from the film and television industry, Betty was responsible for receiving guests from the capital circle, GAKKI was responsible for various chores, and Liu Yufei was responsible for the most important speech on stage today, and she just sat there and acted as a hands-off boss.

This kind of work distribution seems to coincide with Lin Yuan’s future family division of labor?

It would be a good thing if it could really operate in such an orderly manner.

With the attitude that trouble cannot be avoided and will have to be faced sooner or later, Lin Yuan was so reckless that he dragged the four women to the listing bell ringing ceremony today.

He knew that with their intelligence, they would naturally understand what Lin Yuan didn't say.

Seeing that they are currently doing their own jobs and getting along with each other without interfering with each other, Lin Yuan felt relieved.

Lin Yuan didn't expect them to get along harmoniously and intimately. He was already satisfied that they could save face and not have a falling out.

At this moment, Liu Yufei, who was preparing to go on stage to speak, closed the manuscript in her hand and stood up from her chair.

She walked straight towards GAKKI-chan who was standing beside her.

This immediately made Lin Yuan a little worried.

But Liu Yufei seemed to have guessed what Lin Yuan was thinking. She turned around with a smile, gave Lin Yuan a look that said "don't worry", and then started talking to GAKKI-chan.

Because they were too far away, Lin Yuan couldn't hear what they were talking about.

One can only feel that Liu Yufei seems to have won over GAKKI-chan with her understatement.

In this life, GAKKI, who is 1 meters tall, seems to have a very weak aura in front of Liu Yufei, who is 78 meters tall.

Sakura girls are like this. Even though they are tall, their aura is always soft and weak.

But GAKKI's weakness today is not only due to her nationality, but also a way of expressing her non-competitiveness.

In this way, the two people confirm their relationship mode and status.

To put it simply, GAKKI immediately acknowledged Tianxian's status as the wife, and naturally the relationship between the two became easier.

After chatting with GAKKI for a while, Liu Yufei walked towards Betty.

This was the first time she and Betty met officially. Lin Yuan quietly moved a little closer. He stood behind a pillar, not too close, but could vaguely hear their conversation.

"Nice to meet you, Miss Adams." Liu Yufei extended her hand.

But Betty didn't shake her hand. Instead, she stepped forward and hugged her.

"I finally see you. You are more beautiful than on the big screen. Please call me Betty. Can I call you Sissi?" Betty said.

Liu Yufei was somewhat surprised by Betty's kindness.

"Of course, I'm your fan, and I'm very happy that you call me that." Liu Yufei also hugged her.

"fan?"

"I watched the entire Kendo Tournament in Tokyo. Your bravery and heroic spirit have conquered countless women around the world. I like you very much, too." Liu Yufei replied.

"Thank you for your love and thank you for your tolerance towards me," Betty said.

She didn't say anything about tolerance, but Liu Yufei would definitely understand.

Nature embraces her existence.

Betty said this with great skill.

When she used the word "tolerance", her subtext was to acknowledge Liu Yufei's status as the eldest wife, so she was qualified to "tolerate" the existence of other women.

This is definitely what Liu Yufei cares about the most. Tianxian may not care if Lin Yuan has more women outside, but she will never accept that her position as the "legal wife" is challenged. In the future, the person who will officially enter the marriage hall with Lin Yuan can only be her.

Therefore, she was worried about whether these women who appeared next to Lin Yuan had any further thoughts.

Especially Betty, whose identity as the eldest daughter of the Adams family put a lot of pressure on her.

Liu Yufei found it hard to imagine that a woman of Betty's status would not fight or compete and just keep the opportunity to take a closer look with Lin Yuan.

But after meeting today, Betty expressed her full kindness through her actions.

Betty lowered her attitude and immediately resolved Liu Yufei's worries.

But she also got what she wanted: since Liu Yufei "tolerated" her, her close relationship with Lin Yuan could continue without any hindrance.

"You've been wronged. That guy is so annoying." Liu Yufei said while hugging Betty.

Seeing Betty's modesty, Liu Yufei couldn't help but feel a little sad and spoke up for her:
What a good girl! Her figure, appearance, knowledge, family background, and wealth are all top-notch, but she is willing to do this for Lin Yuan.

Liu Yufei also didn't know what kind of magic potion Lin Yuan had given Betty to make her like this.

That was the story of Lin Yuan and Betty, so Liu Yufei naturally didn't know about it.

She didn't know that if it weren't for Lin Yuan, Betty might never have established an intimate relationship with any man in her life.

One day after she turns 30, maybe she will use in vitro fertilization to conceive a child to inherit the family business.

Liu Yufei would not know that Lin Yuan and Betty once faced assassination together and formed an indelible friendship between life and death.

Of course, she didn't know that Lin Yuan and Betty traveled together in India, eating "clean" food on the roadside, living in slums, and even witnessed Lin Yuan killing several enemies with his own eyes.

They would not even know how many hidden arrows Betty had blocked for Lin Yuan in the bloodless battlefield of capital.

Among all the women Lin Yuan has, most of them are protected from the wind and rain by Lin Yuan holding up a big umbrella.

There are only two exceptions: Taylor Swift and Betty Boop.

Their strong personal abilities allow them to move forward side by side with Lin Yuan.

I won’t say much about Taylor Swift. Betty’s maturity makes Lin Yuan willing to show his darkest side in front of her.

Secretly trying to gain control of Sony, killing people with his own hands, and using financial means to reap India... Lin Yuan showed all these dark sides to Betty without reservation.

It’s not because Lin Yuan doesn’t trust Liu Yufei, but because he hopes that the fairy can face less of the dark side of the world and just live in the sunshine.

He and Betty will always have to face some inevitable dark sides, so let them bear the consequences.

Facing Liu Yufei's comfort, Betty smiled and patted her: "What's wronged? Don't you feel wronged? It's all for his own good. Thank you for not thanking me for what I did for Lin Yuan."

"I would never say that. We don't need outsiders' thanks for anything we do." Liu Yufei nodded and replied.

She used the word "outsider" very clearly.

Betty nodded, and her liking for Liu Yufei increased even more.

If Liu Yufei said, "Thank you for doing so much for Lin Yuan, I thank you on his behalf."

That would make Betty uncomfortable because thank you is only for outsiders.

But Tianxian really has a high emotional intelligence, and she understands the sensitive points here very well.

After hearing the friendly conversation between Liu Yufei and Betty, Lin Yuan behind the pillar felt much more at ease.

Liu Yufei's behavior today surprised him a little.

As a childhood sweetheart, he knew Liu Yufei's personality very well: low-key, not competitive, and not fond of taking the initiative.

Given her personality, she should do nothing and just wait for today to pass, and then life will return to normal.

It was somewhat awkward to take the initiative to talk to GAKKI and Betty like this, but she insisted on doing it.

This was obviously all for Lin Yuan, so that he could rest assured and not worry about a fire in the backyard.

Lin Yuan must be grateful for this.

After talking with Betty for a while, Liu Yufei moved on to her last target: Taylor Swift.

Taylor Swift dares to love and hate. Among all of Lin Yuan’s girlfriends, she has the hottest temper and the most combative spirit.

Will there be a conflict when she meets Liu Yufei?
Lin Yuan vaguely knew that it wouldn't happen, but he couldn't help but quietly move closer.

"It's our first meeting. Should I call you Taylor or Miss Swift?" Liu Yufei asked with a smile.

Taylor Swift is Lin Yuan's exclusive nickname, while Miss Swift is a title with a more obvious sense of distance.

In this way, Liu Yufei carefully tested Taylor Swift's attitude towards her.

If she can accept the goddess calling her Taylor, then the subsequent communication will become more harmonious.

If her answer is Miss Swift, it means that she is very resistant, and the fairy should just be prepared to have some contact with her just enough.

As a fan of Taylor Swift, Tianxian certainly knows how difficult it is to deal with this blonde girl in front of her.

Just look at her lyrics and you'll know she's definitely not someone to be trifled with.

Therefore, Tianxian is not sure what attitude Taylor Swift will have towards her.

Seeing Liu Yufei's cautious look, Taylor Swift sighed, as if she had let go of some obsession.

Then she laughed: "If you agree that I can call you Xixi, you can call me Taylor." Hearing her answer, Liu Yufei also laughed: "Taylor, it's our first time meeting you, but I'm a fan of yours and have been listening to your songs for a long time. That song "Our Song" is one of my favorites."

As she spoke, Liu Yufei recalled the night when Lin Yuan hid under her desk and her mother knocked on the door. (See Chapter 161)
"I'm glad you like my song. But I want to say, this is not the first time we met. At least not for me," Taylor said.

"Have we met before?" Liu Yufei asked in surprise.

In her mind, she had no memory of meeting Taylor Swift before.

"In 2000, on that train to Nashville, you were all under the same blanket," Swift said. (See Chapter 34)
The face of a little golden girl flashed through Liu Yufei's mind. It was indeed not the first time they met.

"So, you were on that train too." Liu Yufei replied.

"I've always known you existed," Taylor replied.

Liu Yufei was stunned for a moment, but she quickly understood why Taylor mentioned the Nashville train.

When facing Lin Yuan's other women, Taylor Swift was always confident and had no guilt, so there was the scene where she and Betty confronted each other in Adams Manor.

But when facing Liu Yufei, Taylor Swift always feels guilty.

Because, for several years ago, she had always known about Liu Yufei's existence, and she also knew how important she was in Lin Yuan's heart.

Taylor Swift felt like a third party, shamelessly inserting herself between the two of them.

She will feel guilty, but she will not regret her actions. This is an obsession that she cannot get rid of.

"So, I want to say something..." Taylor Swift began.

But before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Liu Yufei: "No need to apologize, really. I know how attractive that guy is, you don't have to feel guilty."

The two finally put their hands together and started talking.

Lin Yuan didn't continue listening. Now that the tone was set, there was no need to worry about the rest.

GAKKI came to his side and whispered, "The check-in and welcome are almost over. It's almost time. The next step is about to begin."

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Then let's proceed as planned. Liu Yufei will go on stage to give a speech."

"Okay, I'll go inform Sister Xixi later." GAKKI replied.

Hearing her name, Lin Yuan couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

Among these women, she is the only one who added the word "sister" after "Sissi", which shows how much attention Sakura girl pays to details.

The bell ringing ceremony was about to begin, and Lin Yuan didn't particularly like this red tape.

Just like taking wedding photos when getting married, the sense of ceremony is very important and must be done, but it is mostly done for others to see.

Through this ceremony, the company's visibility and influence can be enhanced and investor confidence can be strengthened.

Lin Yuan did not choose to give the speech on stage himself, but gave the opportunity to Liu Yufei.

This was a decision he made after careful consideration.

Liu Yufei's current position is President of Linyuan Investment Co., Ltd. and Vice President of Linyuan Pictures.

Given her position, it is not impossible for her to give a speech on stage, and it does not seem rude.

Through such an arrangement, everyone will realize that the relationship between Liu Yufei and themselves is not just a simple boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, she is someone who can fully represent herself.

When a company goes public, the founder wouldn’t regard the opportunity to give a speech on stage as the pinnacle moment of his life?
And the fact that Lin Yuan was given to Liu Yufei was enough to make everyone pay more attention to her.

Lin Yuan believes that this will also give Liu Yufei more sense of security.

At this time, Meng Tao, today's host, has appeared on the bell platform.

Seeing that the ceremony was about to begin, the guests in the audience returned to their seats.

Seeing that everyone was seated, Meng Tao picked up the microphone and said:

"Welcome, distinguished guests, to the listing bell ringing ceremony of Linyuan Pictures."

The guests in the audience were very appreciative and applauded to celebrate.

"I would like to first introduce to you the distinguished guests who are here tonight..."

Next, Meng Tao introduced the guests sitting in the front row one by one.

This is an important step to express our respect for VIPs, showcase the company's connections, and increase the confidence of investors and shareholders.

When the press release mentions that so-and-so attended Linyuan Pictures' listing bell ringing ceremony, investors would imagine all sorts of information about their strong background and in-depth cooperation.

After introducing the guests, Meng Tao continued, "Next, please invite Mr. Liu from Linyuan Pictures to come on stage and give a speech."

The audience burst into applause again.

Amidst applause, Liu Yufei, wearing a white dress, walked up to the bell platform with elegant steps.

Liu Yufei was seen standing in front of the podium. She was wearing a white dress with light gauze like a waterfall, gently brushing across her graceful figure, making her look like a holy fairy.

Her black hair was simply tied back, with a few strands of hair dancing in the wind, adding a touch of casual softness.

I have to say that white is really the most suitable color for Liu Yufei, and it can better set off her fresh and refined temperament.

Seeing this scene, the guests at the scene couldn't help but applaud again.

The public always prefers beautiful things.

"Thank you all for your kindness." Liu Yufei bowed slightly to express her gratitude.

When the applause gradually died down, she spoke, "Today, I will be delivering the listing speech on behalf of Linyuan Pictures."

Liu Yufei behaved in a calm and composed manner, and did not feel a bit uneasy in front of the bigwigs present.

"Please watch a short film first to learn about the journey of Linyuan Pictures." Liu Yufei pressed the button on the remote control in her hand.

The big screen behind her started playing a video.

The first thing that appeared on the big screen was a picture:
Lin Yuan, Mr. Eisen and Liu Yufei were sitting in a cafe in Douglaston Town.

The scene of Mr. Eisen handing a credit card to Lin Yuan.

This photo must have been taken later, but it truly recreates the night of our first meeting.

The subtitles show: In October 2000, Mr. Eisen and Lin Yuan met for the first time in a small cafe in Douglaston.

That night, Mr. Eisen broke his long-standing tradition of not investing in movies and made an exception by investing $3 million in Lin Yuan's movie "Jurassic Park 1000".

This is the starting point of their cooperation and also the starting point of their take-off.

In the subtitles, Mr. Eisen's name is placed before Lin Yuan's. This detail highlights Lin Yuan's respect for Mr. Eisen.

After all, without his selfless help in the early days, Lin Yuan’s start would not have been so smooth.

Mr. Eisen also noticed this detail. While feeling warm in his heart, he couldn't help but sigh: Time flies so fast. It has been almost four years without me realizing it.

During these four years, Lin Yuan has grown to his current height at an incredible speed.

On the big screen, the scene switches.

The scene is one of Lin Yuan’s most familiar places: Mr. Eisen’s study.

In this study, Mr. Eisen handed an agreement to Lin Yuan.

At this time, a subtitle appears: Linyuan Pictures was established in 2001.

Mr. Eisen invested US$5 million to establish Linyuan Pictures.

The two agreed on the ownership of the company's shares in the form of a bet.

In the next few years, Lin Yuan successfully completed all the betting results and achieved absolute control of the company.

Seeing this, the guests at the scene began to talk.

They didn't know many of the details about the establishment of Linyuan Pictures, and now that this information has been disclosed, many of them are surprised.

"Mr. Eisen is really generous. He took out $5 million of funds like a gamble and directly invested in a medium-sized film company. No wonder Lin Yuan was able to get started so quickly." Jamie Dimon, president of JPMorgan Chase, exclaimed.

"What I admire even more is that Mr. Eisen, who put out $5 million, didn't treat Lin Yuan as just an employee. He actually used a bet to give Lin Yuan absolute control of the company.

"I'm truly ashamed of myself for not being able to match his broad-mindedness. Lin Yuan and Mr. Eisen's meeting is a great fortune for both of them," Sony CEO Nobuyuki Idei also lamented.

Although the subtitles do not specify the equity ratio, since the word "absolute control" is used, it means that Lin Yuan's equity in Lin Yuan Pictures exceeds 66.7%.

This is a very abnormal thing. In a normal company, whoever makes the most money is the boss.

Mr. Eisen, who had taken on all the investment, was magnanimous enough to hand over the company to Lin Yuan. How could this not make the old foxes present sigh?

They were originally a little jealous of Mr. Eisen, thinking that he was very lucky to have caught Lin Yuan, the soaring dragon.

But now it seems that I can never achieve the same level as Mr. Eisen.

The big screen then switched scenes, showing Lin Yuan as Canjian in "Hero" and Will Turner in "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl".

The subtitles show: Since its establishment, Linyuan Pictures participated in the investment and filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" and the Chinese-language film "Hero".

Both films were a huge success, laying the foundation for Linyuan Pictures to move forward.

At this time, the big screen switched to broadcast real-time footage of the guests on the scene.

The camera focused on the president of Disney and director Zhang Mou.

The two also smiled and waved to the camera, and their smiles were sincere.

They all gained a lot from their cooperation with Lin Yuan.

The guests at the scene also gave warm applause again.

Next, the video continued to play on the big screen.

Posters of "The King of Spy", "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" and "Lin Yuan and his wife" appeared respectively.

The subtitles show: Linyuan Pictures did not stand still, but continued to stride forward and produced a series of successful blockbuster movies.

This year, we achieved a great result of making a profit of over 20 billion US dollars!
Despite such brilliant achievements, we have not rested on our laurels. Higher peaks are waiting for us to challenge.

At this time, a new series of movie posters appeared on the big screen:
"Batman Begins" directed by Nolan, "Brokeback Mountain" directed by Ang Lee, "The Legend of Tang Dynasty", "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" and "This Damn Messy Life" are movies that have already been completed.

"The Dark Knight", "Inception", "King of Spy", "Interstellar"... this series of movies are about to be launched and filmed.

Subtitle description: In the future, we will create even more brilliant achievements...

The video ends and the screen goes black.

Liu Yufei picked up the microphone again and said, "After watching this short film, I believe everyone has a better understanding of the establishment of Linyuan Pictures and its development along the way."

"Linyuan Pictures is a pragmatic company. Our corporate culture is: less talk, more action, and let results speak for themselves."

"So, today I won't say anything empty, but rather what everyone likes to hear and cares about the most: performance."

When Liu Yufei said this, there was a burst of good-natured laughter from the audience.

It's so real.

The reason why everyone cares so much about Linyuan Pictures is because there are interests involved.

The fundamental point for gaining profit is the performance of Linyuan Pictures.

However, the guests at the scene were still quite surprised to hear Liu Yufei say this.

Is she planning to talk in detail about Linyuan Pictures' performance targets for going public?

But this is illegal.

According to U.S. securities laws, the actual controllers and major shareholders of listed companies are not allowed to make performance commitments and misleading performance forecasts in public.

This is very easy to understand. If the securities law does not impose restrictions, the bosses of listed companies will be allowed to brag as much as they want.

Some irresponsible bosses dare to brag about any outrageous performance expectations.

A company's performance is strongly correlated with its valuation.

If calculated based on the average PE ratio of 40 for Nasdaq-listed companies, a company's market value can increase by $1 billion by boasting about an additional $40 million in profits.

If the company boasts an extra $10 billion in profits, its market capitalization might increase by $400 billion instead of $600 billion.

After all, how can such a fast-growing company still be valued at 40 times the PE? It must be 60 times!
Therefore, securities laws must put a stop to this kind of behavior that can create bubbles at will by talking nonsense.

You exaggerate your performance, causing the company's stock price to rise like a bubble. If you fail to do so, the stock price will fall. Who will pay for the shareholders' losses?
Generally speaking, listed companies cannot brag about their performance, but can only tell stories about new projects and new business lines.

Guide investors to guess for themselves how much the company's profits will increase next year after launching these promising new projects and new businesses?

The company will never say it explicitly, and investors can only guess for themselves.

At most, they can collude with securities companies and other investment institutions to let the investment institutions issue performance forecasts, which is legal and compliant.

Anyway, the company itself can’t say it.

Therefore, when Liu Yufei said this, many guests at the scene who had close ties with Linyuan Pictures began to get nervous.

They were afraid that Liu Yufei would say something wrong and cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

But when their eyes saw Betty sitting steadily on the stage, their worries subsided.

After all, the brokerage firm guiding Linyuan Pictures' listing was Morgan Stanley, and Ms. Adams was personally in charge of this project.

Today's speech must have been reviewed by Miss Adams, so there is no possibility of making an illegal speech in public.

Sure enough, the next moment Liu Yufei on the stage smiled and continued, "Directly predicting performance is not allowed. But..."

The drawn-out sound made all the guests present feel nervous.

Is there really some explosive news?

At this time, Liu Yufei looked at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan nodded affirmatively.

So Liu Yufei said with confidence: "But you can always trust Lin Yuan."

"Every film we've produced at Linyuan Pictures over the past few years has been a huge success, which is why the company has come this far."

"In the coming days, we have more movies coming out. These movies have all been personally reviewed by Lin Yuan. If you trust Lin Yuan, the company's future performance will speak for itself."

"I believe that every investor who invests in Lin Yuan Pictures and has full confidence in Lin Yuan will receive rich returns."

"Please remember this: you can always trust Lin Yuan."

"Thank you."

After saying this, Liu Yufei bowed deeply to the guests present and ended her speech.

The guests at the scene immediately burst into thunderous applause.

At first, one or two guests stood up and applauded, and then everyone followed suit.

If you pay a little attention, you can find that many guests' palms are red from clapping, which shows that they are really excited from the bottom of their hearts.

Because what Liu Yufei said just now was so thoughtful!

No, Liu Yufei can't make such a promise.

She dared to say that, it must be Lin Yuan who instructed her to do so.

That's because Lin Yuan is so kind!

It’s simply a gift from heaven!
They were hit so hard that they felt dizzy.

Betty smiled helplessly, not out of worry, but out of helplessness.

She is full of confidence in Lin Yuan.

The helplessness is that Lin Yuan is too confident in himself and does not leave any way out for himself.
