On January 19, Lehua Entertainment was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The opening price on the first day of listing was HK$5.60, reaching a peak of HK$6.48 in the morning, but as of press time, the share price fell back to HK$6.
After Lehua went public, the topic of "Wang Yibo became a shareholder of Lehua Entertainment" was on the hot search, because at the live broadcast ceremony on the first day of listing, Wang Yibo was introduced as a shareholder of Lehua Entertainment for the first time, which had never been disclosed by the outside world before. For fans, this incident must have given Wang Yibo an extra "halo" on his head, an entertainment account ridiculed "it will be Mr. Wang in the future", and fans reviewed Wang Yibo's development history, becoming Lehua's first signed trainee in 2010 and becoming a Lehua shareholder in 2023, in only 13 years.
It is worth mentioning that Lehua Entertainment is known as the "first share of artist management", because it mainly uses artist brokerage as income, there are some uncertainties, so the road to listing is not smooth, originally scheduled to be listed on the Stock Exchange on September 7, 2022, but later issued an announcement and decided to delay the global offering, when it was planned to sell 133 million shares globally at an issue price of HK$6.8-HK$8.5, raising about HK$900 million-HK$1.127 billion.
However, the listing was significantly reduced, and the planned offer price was changed to HK$3.52 to HK$5.06, and the final offer price was set at HK$4.08, according to which the net proceeds were HK$391 million, less than half of the previous price.
The reason why it is known as the "first stock of artist management" is because Lehua Entertainment ranked first in artist management revenue in 2021, reaching 1.29 billion yuan, and especially relied on Wang Yibo, who brought 16.8%, 36.7%, 49.5% and 58.8% of the total revenue for the company from 2019 to the first three quarters of 2022, respectively.
Seeing this, it is very understandable that Wang Yibo can become a shareholder of Lehua Entertainment, only in this way, the two sides can become a community of interests, Lehua Entertainment can make Wang Yibo enhance his loyalty to the company, and Wang Yibo will also work hard for the company for his own interests.
So the question is, it is said that as soon as the listing bell rings, there will be many more rich people, so how much money can Lehua Entertainment bosses Du Hua and Wang Yibo make?
Let's look at Du Hua first. After the listing of Lehua Entertainment, the total market value is 5.220 billion as of press time, and the total share capital is 870 million shares. Most of these shares are market-tradable and are held by retail investors. In the company's profile, Du Hua, the owner of Lehua Entertainment, holds 58.1 million shares, which is the highest proportion of all natural persons, including institutions. So calculate that Lehua Entertainment's offer price is HK$4.08, Du Hua's 58.1 million shares are original shares, and Lehua Entertainment's share price is HK$6 at press time, which is equivalent to Duhua's assets soaring by more than 348 million! Became a billionaire all of a sudden. However, when the company goes public, the original shares are subject to trading restrictions, and Du Hua will not be able to sell his shares for a long time in the future.
Then look at the other shareholders. As we all know, listed companies with celebrity participation generally list star shareholders, and often star shareholders hold more shares, for example, when Bona is listed, the shareholder list can see the names of stars such as Huang Xiaoming and Zhang Hanyu.
But although Wang Yibo was introduced as a shareholder of Lehua Entertainment at the live broadcast ceremony on the first day of listing, only five names were listed in the data. Among them, Du Hua ranked first, and in second place was CMC Chinese Culture, with a number of 16.5001 million shares. The third place is Alibaba, with 16.50 million shares, which shows that the shareholder ranking is sorted by the number of shares. The fourth is Sun Yiding, who is the executive director and president of Lehua Entertainment, and is the company's leading executive, holding 3.828 million shares. No other shareholders are listed later.
From this, it can be determined that even if Wang Yibo is determined to be a shareholder, the number of shares held must be ranked after Sun Yiding, that is, it will not exceed 3.82 million shares at most, for the great heroes who contributed nearly 60% of the company's income, giving such a little share is indeed a bit small, can it be regarded as a loss?
It is worth mentioning that Wang Yibo is not only a shareholder of Lehua Entertainment, but also a "potential stock" of Lehua Entertainment, at the listing ceremony, in addition to Wang Yibo, Bona President Yu Dong and director Cheng Er also arrived at the scene, of course, because of the movie "Nameless" to "be a guest", "Nameless" is Wang Yibo's first film work released on the big screen, followed by films such as "Warm", this is an important node, Wang Yibo is likely to shift from simple traffic idols to both traffic and strength, and the future road will definitely go wider and more stable.
