Back to 1995

Chapter 1295

The little cowboy leader has always treated his "insiders" well, but when it was time to abandon them, he was merciless.

Not long after this year, the federal election will start to warm up. The little cowboy needs to win the votes of all parties. Pension funds in ten states.

Whether it is the Federal State Pension Fund, the Federal Teachers Association Pension Fund, the Fire Pension Fund, etc., as long as it is related to the Federal Pension Fund, a large part of it is expected to be listed on Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange. While earning US dollars, cash them out and distribute them to people in the federal government who need to receive pensions.

If Nasdaq slumps for a long time, these pension funds will lose money or even go bankrupt if they do not earn US dollars, and then more people will be affected.

If Harvey Pete can't get up for a long time, even the little cowboy may not be able to keep him, so Harvey Pete must play big!
"Google is now the world's largest search engine. More than 2400 organizations and companies around the world have used Google Search, Google News, Google Maps and other products. More than 5500 million users use Google Search every day!"

Song Yang sat aside and listened to Schmidt's words. Song Yang didn't speak, but Schmidt didn't dare to ignore Song Yang. With more than 55% of the equity, whether Google can go public or not depends entirely on Song Yang's thoughts.

"Google currently has more than 31.9 employees worldwide. This year's revenue is expected to exceed [-] billion US dollars, and the profit will reach about [-] million US dollars!"

Schmidt went on to say that Google's performance in recent years has been quite impressive. Even in this year, looking at the global Internet industry, there are only a handful of companies that can achieve profitability.

Google can emerge suddenly, the latecomers will catch up, and realize profits ahead of schedule, which has surpassed a large group of established Internet giants. This is why Harvey Pete wants to tout Google. There are really things that can be shown!
Irene glanced at Song Yang, then turned to Larry Page and Sergey Brin and asked, "What product is Google developing now?!"

Wall Street institutions are still speculating and expecting that if you want to raise Google's stock price, you must draw a big pie.

"Google Mail is currently being developed. If the listing is completed, Google will also launch products such as Google Chrome!"

Larry Page said in high spirits that now Google's goal is to continuously increase its product line and attract more users. As for fear, even Yahoo search has been suppressed by Google. The former old search giant, Excite, etc. Companies have already fallen one after another, and Google has a tendency to dominate the search industry.

Song Yang raised his head and glanced at Larry Page and the others at this time, good guy, or else they are rivals, and they haven't been listed yet, Larry Page and the others are thinking of overthrowing Microsoft.

Browser, e-mail, which is the biggest product now? IE browser is the well-deserved overlord of the browser industry. Although Hotmail has been caught up by Yahoo Mail, it is still one of the top e-mail brands in America. Both of these are classic products from Microsoft.

The field that Google is going to enter is all the world that Microsoft has fought hard to conquer. It is estimated that Microsoft would never have imagined that after finally surviving Netscape, it would encounter Google, which is not afraid of tigers when it is a newborn calf.

Song Yang tapped the table lightly with his hand, but he didn't say to ask Google to stop developing e-mail, browser, etc. Google needs a gimmick, whether it's overreaching, or really confident to overthrow Microsoft's dominance in these fields, If it gets out, it will greatly increase Google's popularity and hype that Google is about to replace Microsoft, isn't it too much? !

I'm afraid Schmidt also had this consideration, so he didn't stop Larry Page and the others from developing e-mail and other products. As for what they said to replace Microsoft's IE browser, Schmidt himself probably didn't believe it.

The tragic battle between Microsoft and Netscape in the browser back then is still fresh in people's memory. With Google's slender arms and legs, how dare it wrestle with Microsoft? It is estimated that no one will believe it.

"Google can apply to go public!"

When Schmidt, Larry Page and others were talking dry, they finally heard Song Yang speak, which shocked them all. KPCB Venture Partner Khosla also let out a sigh of relief. .

When Song Yang just invested in Google, he spent a few million dollars to get 65% of Google's equity, and then sold 10% of Google's equity to KPCB Venture Capital for [-] million dollars.

When the news got out, Khosla immediately became a representative of Silicon Valley’s bullying. I don’t know how many people ridiculed Khosla’s rush to send money to Google.

In the past few years, even within KPCB Venture Capital, there are some doubts about this investment. In particular, Google has reported that it will go public several times, but there is no news, which makes Khosla more questionable.

However, as soon as Google goes public, these doubts will disappear, and the outside world will redefine this investment!

Khosla pricked up his ears, and Larry Page and Sergey Brin also held their breath, staring at Song Yang, Irene, and Schmidt. They can decide what Google will do. Such a market value landed on Nasdaq.

Once Google is listed, Larry Page and the others will immediately join the billionaire club. Back in the day, they wanted to sell Google to Yahoo, Excite and other search companies for $100 million, but they were ridiculed for not collecting garbage.

30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, when Google goes public, Larry Page will let those people know what it means to regret it!

Schmidt raised his spirits, "Google is negotiating with Wall Street institutions. According to market estimates, Google's current valuation is between 200 billion and 230 billion dollars. If Google goes public with such a market value, it is expected to be able to raise funds. More than 27 billion U.S. dollars..."

To be honest, this kind of valuation is really not low. A few years ago, what kind of bird was Google, and now it can get a valuation of more than 200 billion US dollars, which is more than 20 times more than that.

Khosla was a little bit moved.Going public at such a valuation, the 10% stake in Google that KPCB Venture Capital exchanged for 23 million US dollars is worth more than 20 billion US dollars, with a return of more than [-] times. Who would dare to say that he was taken advantage of? Is it hard to make money? Khosla has become a god in the world of Silicon Valley.

Larry Page and Sergey Brin, two little transparent Internet companies, also became worth more than $30 billion overnight, enjoying the wealth-making myth of the Internet.

"not enough!"

As soon as Schmidt finished speaking, Song Yang interrupted him directly, "Google shouldn't have such a valuation, the valuation of 230 billion US dollars can't reflect Google's real worth!

This time, Google will be listed at least at a valuation of US$350 billion or even US$400 billion. "

Schmidt stood there in a daze, and Khosla, Larry Page and others also looked at Song Yang in shock for a while. In fact, Song Yang, a lion, opened his mouth too scary, and he quickly estimated Google's valuation. , Pushing up more than 100 billion, or even 200 billion US dollars.

Larry Page couldn't help swallowing his throat. If Google really completes the listing according to the valuation Song Yang said, then his worth may exceed $50 billion. The difference is not a star and a half!
"As the world's largest search engine, isn't Google worth such a valuation?!" Looking at the expressions of the people in front of him, Song Yang couldn't help laughing.

The corner of Schmidt's mouth twitched, and he wanted to speak, but he didn't know where to start. He couldn't say that Google wasn't worth that price!
"In the future, there will be more and more Internet users around the world. With the promotion of smartphones, PC search and mobile search, even if Google only occupies half of the search industry market, it will be a market with more than one billion users!"

Song Yang first drew a big cake and told everyone that the future of Google is a sea of ​​stars, and it is only Xiaohe who is showing his sharp edge.

"Google needs to raise more dollars for future new product and business research and development. In addition to Wall Street institutions, it should also look for pension funds in American states to raise dollars.

If Google wants to become a great company, it must let America, and even the whole world, enjoy the dividends brought by technology, which will also be Google's mission! "

Song Yang said it in a serious way, and he almost brought Google and the American National Games together. Larry Page and Sergey Brin were still a little rudimentary, so they didn't understand the meaning of Song Yang's words.

Irene, Schmidt, and Khosla all looked at each other. They are all veterans. They all guessed exactly what Song Yang wanted to do.

Schmidt couldn't help rubbing his hands. He felt that Song Yang was going to play big games. If he forced Google's valuation to more than 400 billion US dollars, no one would be willing to take advantage of it. .

But what if the major Wall Street institutions and the pension funds of the federal states are all brought in, and then jointly speculate on Google's stock price, then, even if Google's stock price at the time of listing is ridiculously high, as long as the institutions holding Google's equity , Raise the stock price tacitly. At that time, let alone a market value of 400 billion US dollars, even a market value of [-] billion US dollars, maybe Google will be able to speculate by the end of the year.

If Google’s stock price can be hyped up, driving the entire Internet concept stock to soar, then this is not hype, but what everyone expects. The Federal Securities Commission is satisfied, Wall Street institutions are happy, and the pension funds of the federal states also get benefits. It is difficult to eat alone. Fat, but you can pull everyone to eat together, then there is no problem, everyone will make money together, as for the future, that will be a matter of the future, let's see who runs faster...
