The market has always been the law of eighty-two.

When the oligarchs occupy most of the market, other competitors will not make much of a splash even if they enter.

Not to mention, Friends.com now has 5 times as many IP visits as Facebook.

Maybe Facebook still has a lot of value now.

But at this time, as long as investors with discernment, they will set their sights on the network of friends.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Friends Network has launched a new financing, and this is the initiative of Friends.com, if we miss this opportunity, we may not be able to meet such an excellent website in our lifetime. ”

"We missed Yahoo and Google before, and this time, we can't miss Friends.com. ”

"But now that the friend network is extremely popular, the valuation may be ......"

How to argue whether an Internet company is worth investing in. The most critical metric is to look at the number of IP visits.

Once the number of IP visits reaches a certain level, then he can lead an era.

Although in the eyes of many people, the number of IP visits and whether it can be profitable are two different things.

But it doesn't matter.

As long as the IP goes up, he has a way to make a profit.

Of course, the only thing that worries them is the valuation of Friends.com.

Two weeks ago, Mogen gave a valuation of $10 billion.

Well, another billion dollars were lost at that time.

Now everyone knows that it's a joke.

As for now, $30 billion, or more than $30 billion, no one is sure.

Because, among the news they know, dozens of the world's top financial giants are already interested in them.

And the first person to kill the headquarters of Friends.com was Dai Si, the president of the investment department of Mogen.

The last time he was rumored to be a joke in the industry, this time, Days must win the friend network.

"Hello, I'm Dai Si from the Magic Root Investment Department, and I made an appointment with Mr. Chen before. ”

"Mr. Dyce, Mr. Chen hasn't arrived at the company for the time being, you can go to the lounge and wait for a while. ”

"Okay. ”

Days nodded and walked to the Friends Network lounge.

Of course, if it is an ordinary enterprise, Dyce will leave directly.

They want to invest in your business, and your boss is still late. For such a company, Mogen will never invest.

In fact, almost none of the founders of the companies that Mogen wanted to invest in before dared to be late.

As for why Chen Yu was late, Days also knew that he did it on purpose.

But even if it was on purpose, Days knew he couldn't go now.

"Hey, Dyce, you're the first?"

"Mijie, you're here too?"

"Hehe, your demon roots can come, why can't we Goldman Sachs come?"

"Hmph, but it's useless for you to come, the friend network will be led by our Demon Root. ”

"It's not certain who will lead the bid, it depends on whose offer is higher. ”

Goldman Sachs Investment President Michael Jie said disdainfully.

Although the overall strength of Mogen is stronger than their Goldman Sachs, it is not much stronger.

Besides, there were some conflicts between Mogen and the friend network before, and they just took advantage of this opportunity.

However, having said that, the friend network is not a fuel-efficient lamp either.

In the end, who leads the investment depends on whose offer is higher.

Friends will definitely choose the one with the highest offer.

As he was talking, at this time, there was another person in the lounge: "So lively?"

"Blackstone. ”

Days and Jamie turned around and recognized the person as Blackstone.

Both of them sank in their hearts.

Although this company is not as good as them overall, this company has always been generous.

As long as the companies they look up to, even Mogen and Goldman Sachs may not be able to compete.

"Don't look at me, we Blackstone don't have the strength to win the friend network, I just want to occupy 5 points. ”

"Five points, when did you Blackstone's appetite become so small?"

"It's not that our appetite has become smaller, but that the two of you may not know how many VCs will come over today?"

"How much?"

The Blackstone Capital representative held out 1 finger.

"100?"

"That's right. ”

"My God......"

Days and Jamie screamed badly.

You know, it's not just ordinary companies that can come here today.

It's not just some ordinary financial company.

The companies that can be interested in the friend network have the least capital of 10 billion US dollars.

The higher is even more terrifying, with hundreds of billions of dollars.

When it comes to the money they have, some of them amount to trillions of dollars.

Although it cannot be said that trillions of dollars can be taken out.

But it's a sign of their strength.

It is said that even Berkshire is interested in Friends.com.

Maybe you don't know what kind of company Berkshire is?

But you must know Warren Buffett.

That's right, Berkshire is the financial and insurance investment company founded by Warren Buffett.

The two guessed correctly.

After a while, the Berkshire representative really arrived.

"Damn, they're here. ”

Days shouted inwardly.

The gods of the stock have sent representatives, and this battle has to be fought.

Of course, it wasn't just Berkshire that was in attendance, but a range of other investment firms.

Tiger Fund, Sequoia Capital, IDG, Deyi Bank, BofA Securities...... Wait a minute.

Most of them are American capital, but there are also some bigwigs from other countries.

Some are not even specialized in the investment industry themselves, such as Walmart.

Do you think Walmart is just a supermarket?

Indeed, their main business is indeed a supermarket.

But everyone knows that the biggest advantage of supermarkets is cash flow.

They have a terrifying cash flow.

And with so much cash flow, should you just keep that money in the bank?

No, no, no.

Even if Walmart is not a professional investment company, they will take out this money to invest.

Now, for example, they have taken a fancy to the network of friends.

Do you think there are no companies like Walmart?

Not.

In addition to Wal-Mart, you will also see some other companies that have nothing to do with investment and finance.

Like BMW, they just came running.

That's right, it's BMW, which makes cars.

As for whether they are here to join in the fun or if they really want to invest, who knows.

But look at the formation.

Many business representatives are nervous.

With so many companies, the valuation of Friends.com today is not simple.

"$35 billion, or $38 billion?"

"I estimate it at more than $38 billion. ”

"I think so, too. ”

In the past, many financial giants only put $30 billion on their friends.

But seeing a series of giants appear, no one has an offer of less than $35 billion in their hearts at this time.

And in practice, they feel that valuations could be even higher today.

"$38 billion is low, and today it will definitely be $40 billion. ”

"$40 billion, do you really dare to think that the primary market is $40 billion, and if it goes public this year, it will definitely break more than $1,000, which may be the largest IPO in North America. ”

"So, since you can think that it will break 100 billion dollars after going public, why can't others think of it? What's more, who is it in front of you?"

Pointing to the front, a representative of a financial company whispered.

Following the fingers, many people looked ahead.

Those who know have already spoken out about the company they represent.

"Microsoft, Microsoft is here. ”

"And Intel, Intel also wants to invest in Friends?"

"Well, Google is coming too. ”

The crowd was a little excited.

They understand.

These giants in the IT industry are here, which is enough to prove the weight of the friend network.

You know, there is a fairly general pattern in financial circles.

That is between the major giants, although they are competitors, most of them hold shares in each other.

Microsoft has shares in Google, and Google will also have shares in Intel.

As for why?

It's actually simple.

Everyone has done it so badly, I can't destroy you, and you can't destroy me.

For the sake of the future, and in order to buy insurance for yourself, buying some of each other's shares is the most appropriate strategy.

Even if my own company goes bankrupt by then, I have some shares in other companies and can make a comeback somewhat.
