Chapter 745: Valuation triples again
"Weiqi, what is the IP flow of Friend.com?"
"1.5 times ours. ”
"I ......"
Zach pressed his temples to make himself comfortable.
He couldn't believe it.
The network of friends, who had been behind them for a long time, actually caught up with them and caught up with them.
Not only has he caught up with them, but now he has completely surpassed them.
If only it was just exceeded.
You know, the data he got last month, Friends.com was only 1.3 times the amount of their Facebook.
But in a month, the IP stream of Friends.com skyrocketed by two percent.
"Damn stealing vegetables. ”
Naturally, Zach knew that it was all about stealing vegetables.
didn't steal vegetables, no matter how powerful the friend network was, at most it would only be a tie with them.
Or that the Friends Network is slightly more powerful than them.
But the two are actually about the same strength.
However, now a discerning person can see the advantages and disadvantages of the two websites at a glance.
Facebook is already in the second camp of social networks.
In the first camp, the friend network stands out.
"Zach, traffic is not the most critical, the most critical thing is that **** has quoted a valuation of $10 billion on Friends.com. If they succeed in financing, even if Friends only give up 10 points of shares, they can get $1 billion, $1 billion, which is very stressful for us. ”
Although the Internet is heavy on creativity and technology, it is heavy on capital in many cases.
Everyone knows that the Internet is a bottomless pit.
If there is no financial support, no matter how awesome the project is, it will be finished.
Domestic penguins were so good at that time, and they had a first-mover advantage.
Why is it still finished in the end?
Except that Chen Yu opens up from time to time, but seriously, Chen Yu's defeat of penguins is the capital.
Because Huanyu Technology has the support of online games, it can provide a steady stream of funds for instant messaging. But on the penguin side, a penny is difficult to beat the hero, and it has been developing slowly under the situation of several financial crises. In the end, under the continuous cannibalization of Huanyu Technology, the penguin was finished.
Of course, Facebook can also raise money.
But after several financings on Facebook, a lot of money has been spent.
Although there is still a third round, a fourth round...... But at this time, everyone pays the most attention to the friend network.
Even if the funds are really raised now, the funds raised will definitely not exceed the friend network.
The current market valuation of Friends.com is $10 billion.
For Facebook, the valuation is less than $3 billion.
The difference between the two is not so far apart, but the valuation has no comparative value at all.
This is normal.
Winner takes all.
The companies that occupy the first and main markets in the market are valuated far more than the second and third camps.
Even the second, third, and all other markets combined, are not as good as the companies that occupy the first market.
"When will our farm be developed?"
"It's already working overtime. ”
"Can you be faster, you know that time is too precious for us now. ”
"Zach, give me two weeks. ”
Zack, who is also the vice president of Facebook, said solemnly.
"It's up to you. ”
Zach nodded.
However, although two weeks is a short time, it will be available soon. But Zach didn't want to wait.
In fact, he decided to wait before, but the explosion of the friend network taught him how to behave in minutes.
Stealing vegetables is crazy, crazy.
In just a few days, countless users have become players who steal vegetables.
Moreover, there are many uncles and aunts in it.
In normal times, you wouldn't have thought that these uncles and aunts would play games.
Because usually they don't even use a computer.
But......
The network of friends is to break Zack's countless cognitions.
He knew that if he waited, Facebook would only die.
Even if they're mimicking a farming game of stealing vegetables, they're incredibly dangerous if they don't prepare for anything else.
At this time, Zach was in contact with ****.
He wants to completely explain the current situation of Facebook to ****.
The elaboration is not for the sake of attracting investment.
Although he really wants to **** investment.
But he knew that for the time being, **** would not consider them.
Zach just wanted to make a mess of his friends' network.
Like what.
Zach wanted to talk to the **** side, and he felt that the friend network was not worth $10 billion.
As for the so-called vegetable stealing game, there is no technical content at all, and they are doing it too.
If you don't believe it, you don't wait two weeks for their farm game to launch and take a look again.
I have to say that the young and promising Zach still has some schemes.
Although he was at a disadvantage, he really affected the judgment of **** a little as soon as he went to ****.
Of course, this judgment is not that **** is not interested in the friend network.
They are also interested in the network of friends.
But they feel that with Facebook, they can press the price by the way.
And when **** contacted Chen Yu again, Chen Yu also discovered this.
"9 billion?"
Chen Yu was a little surprised.
Last time Morgan offered $10 billion, but now it's $9 billion?
"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, we have re-evaluated the friend network. We believe that although Friends still has a lot of potential, it is growing too fast and too fast. ”
"Isn't it better for you guys to be fast?"
"To some extent, that's true, but fast also means risk. What's more, you have a competitor. ”
"You mean Facebook?"
"We also have Facebook research, and they have a similar model to yours. And, as we understand it, they're working on a game that mimics things like stealing vegetables from your company. I know it's plagiarism, but the Internet doesn't really have too many criteria for judging plagiarism. If they do develop a game like stealing vegetables, how are you going to deal with it?"
"Why don't you wait?"
Chen Yu was not angry.
That's how business is done.
He won't beg for **** investment, and of course, he won't drive away ****.
It's normal for them to haggle.
And in fact, Chen Yu actually didn't accept their $10 billion offer at this time.
Since they want to bargain and succeed, then wait a little longer.
They've been waiting so long anyway.
It's good to wait a little longer and shock them a little longer.
"That's what we think too. ”
The president of the investment department, "Dyce", nodded.
Although the friend network is worth investing, such a large amount of money should indeed be cautious.
"Okay, Mr. Dyce, goodbye. ”
"Thank you. ”
"You're welcome. By the way, Mr. Dyce, a reminder. Two weeks later, Friends.com may not be valued at $10 billion. ”
"How much is that?"
"$30 billion. ”
"Mr. Chen, you're really joking. ”
Days smiled and left.
Isn't it a joke that the valuation has risen by $20 billion in two weeks?
