Chapter 722 The old tree blossoms

"Ebay can look for opportunities to go public, and the valuation can be increased!"

Song Yang said to Whitman, knowing that she came this time because of the listing on eBay.

Now Whitman is touted by Silicon Valley and Wall Street as one of the most powerful female professional managers on the Internet. Home appliance giant eBay, no one dares to underestimate Whitman!

Hearing that Song Yang only mentioned listing eBay, but did not mention the gimmick of jointly listing PayPal, Whitman knew that it might be impossible for the two companies to jointly list.

eBay's joint listing with PayPal was also influenced by ICQ's acquisition of American Telecom. After the merger, a company with a market value of [-] billion US dollars was born in an instant. With such an example, who would not want to imitate it?
After all, money touches people's hearts. If ebay and PayPal jointly go public, it may not be able to detonate the market in the Internet and Silicon Valley, not to mention becoming the next ICQ, but there is no problem in making a lot of money.

But Song Yang obviously didn't want PayPal to follow eBay. EBay wanted to take advantage of the great opportunity of the Internet to go public and make a fortune, but PayPal was obviously not ready yet.

PayPal in the hands of Song Yang can be said to be the overlord of the electronic payment industry. Although Musk's X.com and other payment platforms are challenging PayPal, they cannot shake PayPal's dominance in the payment industry.

The e-commerce industry led by Amazon and eBay, as well as Goldman Sachs and Deutsche Bank on Wall Street, are all platforms that support PayPal payment. Simple!
The current PayPal is the money bag in Song Yang's hands. It has many functions such as payment platform, bank, and PMMF fund similar to Yu'e Bao. channel.

The PayPal Yu’E Bao version of the PMMF fund now has more than 400 million users worldwide, and the size of the PMMF fund has reached an astonishing $900 billion. This huge fund is all usable cash flow. The giants of Wall Street are also drooling greedily.

It can be predicted that getting PayPal in the future will definitely become a daily fortune. In the Internet industry and even Wall Street, PayPal will definitely have a place.

And now that PayPal and eBay are jointly listed, wouldn't Amazon and other e-commerce platforms be in an embarrassing situation, and the gains outweigh the losses.

Song Yang does not intend to let PayPal go public now, or even for a long time in the future. The money that PayPal earns is not that important compared to its role!

Knowing that eBay and PayPal are going to go public, Whitman is not too disappointed. This is not beyond the expectations of eBay's management. Even without PayPal, eBay is qualified enough to go public.

"Ebay's valuation, what is the pricing?"

Whitman asked Song Yang, eBay's management and the Wall Street consultants they invited had already done research on eBay's valuation, and it was not difficult to set a price higher than Amazon's. After all, eBay is now profitable. Still better than Amazon.

Hearing Whitman's words, Song Yang laughed and said, "Since it's going to be listed, eBay will make a big move. It's surnamed Bruno!"

In the past few years, the companies established by Song Yang and invested by them have been listed one by one like dumplings, and each one has made more noise than the other. Although many financial scholars, analysts, and investors have criticized them Well, the group of Silicon Valley upstarts headed by Song Yang are in Chiguoguo, and they are making money without any cover.

But it still can't stop, the major Wall Street institutions and investors are flocking to them, even if the valuation of these Internet companies is outrageous, there are still countless people generously donating money!
After hearing Song Yang's listing valuation for eBay, Whitman, a senior fisherman, lost all thoughts of fishing and hurried back to Houston.

The upsurge of e-commerce has just emerged, and it has not yet reached the status of the mainstream Internet industry. As the leaders, eBay and Amazon have also enjoyed the first wave of dividends, but they have not yet reached the point of exaggeration.

Amazon's stock price has doubled several times, and it is only 20 billion US dollars, but Song Yang's valuation for eBay has reached an outrageous 80 billion US dollars, that is, eBay, which has not yet been listed, has already dared to call itself a giant of [-] billion US dollars Well, a valuation more than four times Amazon's market capitalization sounds outrageous enough...

Whitman didn't know if the consultants from Wall Street would just slap the table and leave when they heard this valuation. She was also a little worried, but she also had some expectations in her heart. It is true that he has become the leader of e-commerce concept stocks, and by that time, it will not be a valuation of billions of dollars!

Seeing Whitman leave, Song Yang and Doble Poole no longer have the intention to continue fishing. As for whether eBay can reach such an outrageous valuation, Song Yang is not worried.

Anyway, in the current Internet industry, how bold people are and how productive the land is, they are not afraid of high valuations, but they dare not!

It is a pity that the valuation has not been raised to that level, but if it is, it will be a blood profit, and there will be no loss left or right. After next year, the frenzy of the Internet will reach its peak, and e-commerce and portal websites will become the mainstream of the Internet industry. Industry, by that time, the market value of Amazon and eBay will increase to tens of billions of dollars, which is not difficult at all!
The technology industry was the first to report that the old computer giant DEC, after all, was not guaranteed at the end of the year. It was officially acquired by a joint acquisition consortium composed of PA Semiconductor, Intel, and Compaq. The purchase price reached 96 billion dollars. This is the global computer industry. This is the largest transaction in the industry so far!
The acquired DEC was immediately reported to be split. The entire DEC was wiped out from the beginning to the end, including the brand, the technicians, and even the office building.

Dubpur finally fulfilled his long-cherished wish. PA took away DEC's brand name at a price of [-] million US dollars, as well as the R&D personnel, production equipment, technology, patents, etc. of the semiconductor department. The entire DEC basically disappeared.

The purchase price of nearly 80 billion U.S. dollars does not seem to be low, but without comparison, there is no harm. There are still a lot of media in the technology circle expressing emotion, and there are rumors that eBay's listing valuation has been raised to More than 40 billion US dollars, that is, DEC, which has been working for more than [-] years and has an annual revenue of several billion US dollars, is a little more expensive than eBay, which has just been established for a few years...

For a while, many people began to be confused, whether DEC's mud can't support the wall, or they have little knowledge and don't understand the Internet industry at all.

The same owner as eBay, an "old brand" Internet company that has been silent for more than a year, double-click, which once killed Wall Street's short-selling institutions, has once again spread news, telling the outside world that double-click is still alive and well...
