Chapter 744: $10 Billion Valuation

"Son, you teach me how to use a computer. ”

"Mom, do you want to learn computers?"

"No, I want to play a game. ”

"What game?"

"Stealing vegetables. ”

"Stealing vegetables, what kind of game is this?"

"It's a fun game, you can just open it for me. ”

"Okay, okay, I'll open it for you. ”

"No, isn't this it?"

"Yes, yes, that's it. ”

"This doesn't seem to be fun. ”

"It's fun, you don't know. Well, you can walk away. By the way, how do you turn off the computer for a while?"

"Oh my God, Mom, I don't know anything about the computer, so I'm going to steal food. ”

"I like it, I love it. ”

"Okay, you click here in a moment, and then you can close it. ”

"Oh, it's so easy, I see. ”

There are many people who play the game of stealing vegetables.

But this was played by a lot of people, and at that time it was limited to users of the friend network.

But now, the price of vegetables has risen sharply, and a series of uncles and aunts who have never used the Internet much have also entered.

They don't know how to use a computer, but the game of stealing vegetables is incredibly simple.

Just teach it and you can play.

And because there are a lot of friends of your own who play it, even if the game is very simple, they play it with relish.

At the same time that these uncles and aunts ran into the market, the IP stream of the friend network rose at an astonishing speed.

"It's up, it's gone up again. ”

"Oh my God, it's a new high, Mr. Chen, the IP of our friend network has reached a new high. ”

"Still rising, still rising......"

Looking at the background data, Wang Chang said excitedly.

"Wang Chang, calm, calm. ”

Chen Yu on the side couldn't stand it, so he asked Wang Chang to be quieter: "What's this, our friend network has hit 3 new highs a day, is it necessary to be so excited?"

However, although it is said that this is the case, it is impossible not to be excited to watch the background data continue to skyrocket.

Even if it was Chen Yu, his heart was beating violently.

It is difficult for people who have not experienced this kind of IP explosion to understand this kind of feeling.

Although Huanyu Technology has also done a very successful job in the Internet before, it should have been bearish on this.

However, the Internet that Huanyu Technology has done in China has only been successful after a long period of operation.

For example, instant messaging, it took quite a long time to compete with Little Pony.

Another example is e-commerce, which not only takes time, but also spends countless energy, material and financial resources.

Online games are relatively better, but although online games are good, they don't have a large IP stream.

But friends are not the same thing.

He's not a portal, but he already has almost an IP stream like a portal.

He's not a game, but he's playing games with several times more people online at the same time than just online games.

In particular, Friends has a presence not only in North America, but also in Europe, Oceania, and Asia.

In other words, the current Friends Network is actually a global website.

Although he hasn't really grown up yet.

However, the imagination is endless.

Will Friends.com be the next Yahoo?

Will Friends.com be the next Google?

Don't think it's an imagination, he hasn't really realized it yet.

But for capital, if the space for this imagination is large enough, then it has great value.

Just like a securities listing.

When a company wants to go public, major financial companies and investment companies evaluate them in addition to all aspects of the company's hard indicators. For example, traffic, users, monthly active users, growth rate, profitability, ...... And so on. The most important thing is whether the company's story is well told.

As long as the story is well told, it is no problem to double the market capitalization.

If the story is quite exciting, 10 or 100 flips are possible.

Think about how LeTV became popular back then?

It's all about PPT storytelling.

Don't think that this is in China, in the North American market, he needs to tell stories more.

And how to tell a good story depends on how much space he has for imagination.

There is no doubt that the imagination of Friends Network is more than any other company.

His targets are all world-class giants.

Since this is the case, then the investment banks at the headquarters of Friends.com are like a tide, and they are frantically pouring in.

"$4 billion, that's my valuation of Friends.com. ”

"Bain Capital, get out, the strength is too weak, your previous shares are given to us, and our valuation of Friends.com is 6 billion. ”

"SoftBank, yes, you give $6 billion, we give $8 billion. ”

"For us Morgan, the valuation of Friends.com is 10 billion. ”

The heavyweight player's offer has always been awesome.

The valuation of Friends.com has jumped from more than $3 billion to $10 billion.

Such valuations have also caused shocks throughout the industry.

To know.

For new Internet companies, Friends.com is the one with the largest valuation in recent years.

And that's just the valuation before it went public.

Morgan can give a valuation of $10 billion, and if it goes public, the valuation of Friends.com will definitely triple.

That's more than $30 billion.

Those who don't know much about this may think that the profit from such an investment is too small.

Some investment companies will have returns tens of times, hundreds of times, or even thousands of times after they go public.

But there is nothing comparable about this.

You can't take advantage of such an opportunity.

Second, even if you catch it, the risk is incomparably greater.

Because a start-up company has to go through countless problems from growing its business to going public.

Some may be successful in listing, but many more will go out of business.

It's awesome, it's outrageous.

At that time, the person who invested in Kuaibo thought that he had picked up a big bargain, but in the end, he was sealed, and there was nothing.

No matter how many billions of money you throw into it, it will all be wasted.

But with the current scale of Friends, for them, as long as Friends is willing to go public, they can definitely successfully push it to the secondary securities market within a year.

In it, the risk series is extremely low.

Third, if everything is fine, you may not be able to invest in friends to make money.

Take Friends.com, if the current valuation of Friends.com is 10 billion, and you invest 10 billion, then, once listed, his market value may reach 30 billion, or even better, that is, you can make at least $20 billion.

But if you invest in other companies, other companies can't accommodate you with so much money.

Not to mention $10 billion, even if you invest $1 billion, it's already the sky.

And it is difficult to make $20 billion from $1 billion.

It's like a container.

No matter how much water there is in the pond, it is actually limited.

But what if you cast the sea and the ocean?

This is from 1 yuan to 10,000 yuan, which is very easy.

But if you make 100 million from 100 million to 100 million, it will be extremely difficult.

And to go from $10 billion to another $10 billion, that's pretty hard.

Of course, this is just a metaphor, Friends.com is temporarily valued at $10 billion, but it is also impossible to raise $10 billion.

If this is to raise $10 billion, does Chen Yu still want shares?

But whether it raises $10 billion or not, it's enough to see the future prospects of Friends.com.

It's just that in the face of the valuation of $10 billion from Friends.com, Chen Yu is not moved.

Although 10 billion US dollars is much, in Chen Yu's eyes, the value of the friend network is far more than 10 billion US dollars.

What's more, the climax of stealing vegetables is far from coming.
