Unparalleled True Technology

Chapter two hundred and sixty-five: Google's indiscriminate disaster

After a few days of busy work, Wen Ming's investment in Facebook has been completely over.

Until now, Wen Ming has truly become the major shareholder of Facebook.

It was at this time that the financial media across the United States began the first wave of reports as if they had discussed it.

The first to bear the brunt is the Wall Street Journal. As a well-known and authoritative financial media in the world, the Wall Street Journal report on Facebook's financing incident has been reposted by many financial media.

The strong cash flow of Apple and Tesla has allowed Wen Ming to firmly occupy the top 50 of the world's richest list. The reason why he has not become the world's richest man is only because the two companies under his name are still Without a listing, no one can be sure how much those two companies are worth, and no one can be sure how much Wen Ming's shares in those two companies are worth.

The Wall Street Journal's report didn't directly mention Facebook's financing at the beginning, but Wen Ming's net worth. Compared with financing Facebook, such news is actually more eye-catching.

But one thing is certain is that the founder of Apple, Wen Ming, has more than 10 billion US dollars in cash in his hands. Many people did not agree with this before, because they felt that Wen Ming did not have that much cash. .”

However, according to Facebook's official announcement, as well as inquiries about Facebook's shareholders and equity changes, we can now confirm that Wen Ming's cash for Facebook's financing, or capital increase, has reached 10.06 billion U.S. dollars. .”

This is a fortune that only less than 100 of the 7 billion people in the world can own. Before that, many people were speculating on what Wen Ming would do with this wealth after owning it. .”

After the Wall Street Journal finished introducing part of Wenming's wealth, it began to change the subject of the report to Facebook's financing.

Some people think that Wen Ming may acquire another 'Tesla', and then create another gold miracle from a valuation of 500 million US dollars to a valuation of 50 billion US dollars. Or invest in a high-value company like Jurassic Island. In scientific and technological research, a scientific miracle comparable to the resurrection of dinosaurs has been created.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that Wen Ming would invest this money in Facebook, which has a market valuation as high as 40 billion US dollars. What is even more surprising is that Wen Ming is buying a part of Facebook's equity. At that time, Facebook’s valuation premium of US$50 billion was recognized.”

The previous reports of the Wall Street Journal can be said to be very notarized,

But to allow them to publish reports at this time, it is natural that Facebook has given enough public relations expenses. So, at the end of the article, they started touting Facebook.

As the most conspicuous genius in the 21st century, the founder of Apple, Wen Ming, is not only astonishingly talented in science and technology, but also his talent in business can make the world's richest people follow in his footsteps. Then, when When he approved Facebook's valuation of 50 billion US dollars, what kind of miracle will Facebook's market value create after the real listing?

According to the analysis of the most professional investment banks on Wall Street, we have reason to believe that if Facebook is listed now, its market value can easily exceed 120 billion U.S. dollars. Previously, investment banks believed that if Facebook went public, its market value could only reach About 60 billion U.S. dollars. In other words, Wen Ming’s financing this time has doubled Facebook’s market value.”

...

After the Wall Street Journal report, the entire United States can be said to be in an uproar, because financing of this scale can be said to be unprecedented. Normally, when a company needs 5 billion US dollars of development funds, there is no other way to solve it except going public.

But Facebook did not go public, and got 5 billion US dollars in development funds, and the person who provided this money was the genius Wen Ming who was already famous all over the world.

All of a sudden, countless stockholders were eagerly looking forward to Facebook's listing, and they were ready to snap up Facebook shares as soon as Facebook went public.

Based on this situation, some financial media reports began to exaggerate.

The report on the financial section of the New York Times is even more shameless than the Wall Street Journal touting Facebook and Wen Ming.

We interviewed more than 1,000 investors, including some traders from investment banks. They believe that, judging from the current desire of American investors for Facebook to go public, if Facebook goes public now, its market value is likely to exceed 150 billion on the opening day. dollars.

Of course, in addition to touting, the New York Times, an old contact with Wen Ming, also very forcefully produced some actual evidence to prove their assertion.

Facebook currently has more than 1 billion global users, and the daily growth rate is extremely alarming. It is foreseeable that within two years, their number of global users will exceed 2 billion.

With such a huge user base, if it is advertising revenue, then absolutely no TV media can compare to Facebook. But Facebook did not do very well in terms of advertising revenue before, and they did not have enough magnitude. Customers with advertising needs, they have not completed the classification of their own users.

However, when Apple's founder, Wen Ming, joined Facebook, the sales of Apple's iPhones and iPads not only provided more users for Facebook, but also brought those who have Software vendors who need advertising, introduce it to Facebook who needs it.

If it's just software vendors, they can only raise Facebook's advertising revenue to a higher level, but those software vendors represent more than just software. For example, shopping software, when they do promotion, they will inevitably involve From physical products, if the two are combined to advertise on Facebook, Facebook can get new physical customers.”

We can foresee that when Apple and Facebook combine, then a new advertising network similar to Google's global advertising network will be formed. And Google's advertising revenue last year was 15 billion US dollars, even if Facebook's advertising If the revenue cannot reach this level, even if it is only half of Facebook, it is also an achievement that can make Facebook's market value create a miracle.

Facebook, whose annual advertising revenue is less than 1.5 billion U.S. dollars, can still be valued at 40 billion U.S. dollars. Then, when the annual advertising revenue reaches 7 billion U.S. dollars, how can Facebook's market value not exceed 150 billion U.S. dollars? ?”

The touts in the full text are well-founded, and even leaked the advertising cooperation plan between Apple and Facebook. Of course, it is useless even if it is not disclosed, because the combination of the two can most increase revenue by a large amount, and that is the cooperation in advertising.

Based on these reports and touts, many companies have been affected, even the current giant IT company Google. On the day these reports broke out, the market value fell from 147.55 billion US dollars to 146.5 billion US dollars, evaporating 1 billion US dollars in a day.

At this time, Google is actually having a very difficult time, because they have just announced their withdrawal from the Chinese market, and they don't pay attention to the reasons. In short, after losing the Chinese market with a population of 1.3 billion, Google's market value has fallen a lot before.

And now, it has fallen again because of Wen Ming's investment in Facebook, which makes Google's top management very unhappy.

Don't worry, this is only temporary, and it will definitely recover tomorrow.

Google suffered an unwarranted disaster only because of those media reports. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the online advertising market will continue to expand, and one day it will exceed the total advertising revenue of TV media.

From the perspective of development, it is impossible for Google to monopolize this market, and the emergence of new online advertising alliances is also very normal. If it is not the combination of Apple and Google, it will be other Internet companies. However, Facebook's user base is too large, and it is not much worse than Google.

At Google's regular high-level meeting, someone said: I suggest to cooperate directly with Facebook and Apple. If we cooperate, this market can be almost monopolized by us.

Antitrust laws in the US are strong, but who cares about fines for the enormous benefits a monopoly can create? )!!
