Chapter 439 The Conan Show
Rong Guang somewhat understood CAA's little thoughts, that everything was just for profit. However, after Pincus' repeated prayers, he still agreed to participate in a talk show.
Rong Guang chose the show "The Conan Show". This show has nothing to do with Death Elementary School, and the host of the show is the famous host Conan Christopher O'Brien.
This program comes from NBC. It has a lively and nonsensical style. It is good at celebrity interviews and is full of musical and comedy elements. It should be said that it focuses on entertainment. It is very suitable for the identity of Rong Guang, a famous director and star. More importantly, this program is
One of the top talk shows in North America, it is watched by a large number of viewers in North America.
It is different from domestic talk shows.
Domestic hosts are basically elite and talk about some serious topics.
Talk shows in Europe and the United States are basically talk shows, which pay more attention to entertainment, jokes and other ratings elements. But on the other hand, the requirements for hosts are particularly high, and the requirements for guests are also very high. They need to speak well.
, also requires alert response.
Here, clichés and nonsense don’t work very well, otherwise it will easily arouse the audience’s disgust - come on, why are you pretending to be serious? We are here to have fun?
…
Amid applause, Conan introduced today's guest Rong Guang and said a few opening remarks.
Then the host Conan asked: "Rong, many fans are very curious, how do you identify yourself, are you a director? Or an actor? Or a businessman? Or a Silicon Valley elite?"
"Probably the director and actor." Rong Guang answered quickly, "I have never been a businessman. Anyone who is familiar with me should know that I am not a businessman and I don't know much about business. About my business affairs
, it is usually solved by my team. My team is still very good, including some great professional managers. As for the Silicon Valley elite? That’s a bit funny. I don’t know any programming at all, and I don’t know much about those cutting-edge problems.
Technology knows nothing.”
"This must be your Eastern modesty, right?" Conan was doubtful, "Can you tell me what's going on with your OldK?"
"Haha, the appearance of OldK was quite accidental. At that time, I..." Rong Guang happily told the story of Putian and OldK again. Since it has been told several times, the whole story has been modified to be humorous, especially in the inside part.
Added a lot of quotes and jokes.
Amid the laughter of Conan and the audience, Rong Guang smiled and said: "Conan, you can regard this as luck. But this luck is that you and I have met in good times!"
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
"In fact, the emergence of IT technology has led to huge changes in all walks of life. For example, in our film industry, this should be the third film technology revolution after sound films replaced silent films and color films replaced black and white films. In this regard,
Every filmmaker will do research, and I do the same. If I don’t do research, I will be eliminated. And I just happened to discover the demand for social software. I found that there is no market at all. I have money, and I can find managers and technical talents.
, then do it yourself!”
"Have you ever thought about becoming a billionaire by doing this?" Conan felt very funny.
"Of course I have thought about it. But the proportion of imagination is still higher." Rong Guang's answer made Conan stunned, "Conan, my mentality was relatively peaceful at that time. If it succeeds, then I will go public on Wall Street. If it fails, I will use this theme to shoot
Maybe the movie can earn hundreds of millions at the box office?"
The whole audience laughed at Rong Guang's joke.
Conan smiled and said: "Okay, Rong, you should be almost successful. Your QldK will be listed on Nasdaq next week. The current valuation on Wall Street is about US$850 million, and you personally hold almost 53% of the shares.
.In any case, you will definitely become a billionaire next week. Here, I want to congratulate you in advance.”
"Thank you." Rong Guang smiled, "This is indeed unexpected good news."
"Unexpected? Isn't it expected?"
"I am very emotional about the company I founded. You should be able to understand, right? Maybe this is the sentimentality of filmmakers." Rong Guang said with a smile, "I hope OldK can get better and better and grow into a company in the future.
A great company. But I understand that my abilities are insufficient. To be precise, I am actually a layman. This is true in both the business field and the IT field. So I want to put this child into the hands of the right person as soon as possible. However,
I never expected that Wall Street is so capable that it would be able to arrange a listing so quickly? Haha."
"Huh?" Conan was stunned again, and then his eyes shone, "Rong, do you mean this - do you want to give up control of OldK?"
A self-made boss who founded an important IT company in Silicon Valley actually wanted to give up actual control of the company just before it went public? There is no doubt that this is explosive news? I don’t know how much Wall Street it will cause.
Going crazy with Silicon Valley investors?
"Yes!" Rong Guang smiled and nodded. He seemed unprepared, "I don't need to hold so much equity, and I'm not very interested in the company's management. The company has a great CEO Shukla. Of course, if
If Zuckerberg is willing to switch jobs to OldK, we will become good friends immediately."
Conan laughed: "This is probably very difficult. But I have to remind you, have you prepared your checkbook?"
"Checkbook?" Rong Guang didn't understand what Conan meant.
Conan suppressed his laughter: "Rong, I finally believe that you are not a qualified businessman. Disclosure of major information of listed companies must be announced by the stock exchange. Therefore, you will be investigated and fined by the US Securities Regulatory Commission."
Hahaha!"
Conan and the audience below burst into gloating laughter, especially when Rong Guang was given a close-up of stunned confusion.
As the largest shareholder of OldK, if you want to reduce your shares and give up your actual control, this is of course major news. Revealing such news in advance on a TV show? Is this looking for shit? Or is it looking for shit?
There is no need to collect evidence at all, Rong Guang can just wait for the fine from the US Securities Regulatory Commission!
In other words, for other businessmen, this is almost common sense, and they will never make such a low-level mistake.
To put it bluntly, even if you want insider trading, you will do it secretly. You have never been kicked in the head by a donkey, so you will never talk about it on a TV show, right?
Chapter completed!
