What is a holding company?

1. What is a holding company?

Holding company, also known as holding company or equity company, refers to a company whose purpose is to control the shares of other companies. According to the shareholding method. Holding companies can be roughly divided into two types, one is to control and manipulate other companies by holding a certain number of shares in other companies, and it is also called a single holding company except for management control. In addition to management and control, another kind of holding company also has to run practical business, so it is called a mixed holding company.

The control mode of holding company has the characteristics of pyramid-like control of parent company over subsidiary company. Holding companies can actually manipulate the company by mastering the amount of stock control. The parent company becomes its own subsidiary by buying shares of other companies, and the subsidiary controls other companies in the same way, making them become sun companies, thus controlling them layer by layer and forming a pyramid-shaped control network.

2. What is entrepreneurial profit?

Entrepreneur's profit refers to the difference between the total price of shares issued when a joint-stock company is established and the total capital actually invested in the enterprise. It is the extra profit obtained by the founder of the company by taking advantage of his entrepreneurial position.

In the stock market, the buyers of stocks are not very concerned about the face value of stocks, but about the dividends that stocks can bring. Therefore, the founder of the company can sell the stock at a price higher than the face value of the stock when the dividend is higher than the general market interest. For example, when a company is founded, it must invest 6,543,800 yuan, which is divided into 6,543,800 shares with a par value of 6,543,800 yuan. Suppose you can get a dividend of 10 yuan every year, and the bank interest rate is 5% every year during the same period. Then the stock price is about 10÷5%=200 yuan. In this way, after 654.38+00,000 shares are sold at the price of 200 yuan per share, the company's available capital is not 6.5438+0 million yuan, but 2 million yuan. The difference of 654.38+00,000 yuan is the entrepreneurial profit.

Of course, when an enterprise starts a business, the stock cannot be listed immediately (that is, it is accepted by the stock exchange and agreed to be bought and sold on the exchange), but it needs to be bought and sold in some small and medium-sized securities companies, and the price can be adjusted. Only after the company's management has passed the test of time can it be listed. However, entrepreneurs can keep part of their shares when starting a company, and then issue them at a price close to the market price after the stock market rises, and still make a profit.
