Chapter 886: Penguin's Counterattack

Facebook has once again been a huge success.

It only took a few months to go abroad, and the valuation of North American companies was as high as $20 billion!

It has also been recognized by Citibank, Microsoft, Google, and the Walton family, several giants in their respective fields.

Other companies in the domestic Internet industry are all blushing after seeing it.

Tencent was still celebrating its company's successful listing, and the company was jubilant in the past few days.

Brother Xiao Ma is even more proud, walking with the wind, and showing a smile when he sees people.

As a result, when I saw the news of Facebook's North American financing, I immediately couldn't laugh.

The gap is too big!

At the company's high-level meeting, Xiao Ma also deliberately raised a question.

"Let's discuss it, and I want to know, why are they all doing Internet social networking, and the valuation of Facebook can be so high! And we Tencent are also listed now, and the market value is only a fraction of that of others! Is it really because we chose the wrong place to go public?"

Tencent has been listed on the Xiangjiang Stock Exchange for a while, but the stock price has fallen instead of rising!

When it was first listed, it once soared to a market value of more than 5 billion!

Of course, the unit is Hong Kong dollars.

As a result, in the recent period, the stock price has fallen again, resulting in the company's market value of only about 4.5 billion Hong Kong dollars.

If you look at Facebook, the gap is a bit big.

After Facebook was listed on the NASDAQ, the stock price went all the way up!

Up to now, the market value has exceeded 40 billion US dollars, becoming the first stock in the domestic Internet industry!

This has to be converted into RMB, which is more than 300 billion......

In comparison, Brother Pony should indeed be depressed.

Because Tencent has a lot of registered users, although it has long been surpassed by Facebook, the gap between the two sides is not big.

It is nothing more than nearly 400 million users on Facebook, and 278 million registered users on Tencent, nearly 300 million.

Both companies are still engaged in Internet social networking, but one is a social platform and the other is a social tool.

There is no direct competition.

If we talk about competitors, Tencent is still the first in the field of Internet instant messaging, at least in China.

The original competitors, except for WeChat, are almost dead.

Why, the market value of his company is only more than 4 billion Hong Kong dollars!

Little Brother Ma couldn't figure it out.

..................

Hearing the boss ask this question, the executives in the conference room frowned and fell into deep thought.

Obviously, this question is difficult to answer.

"Mr. Ma, I have a lot of dealings with people in the investment industry.

For this issue, in fact, we have discussed it privately, and what everyone means is that Facebook's operating model is relatively clear and stable, and the profit prospects are relatively promising.

And we, several times tried the fee system, but the results were not very good.

Until now, there has been no way to monetize traffic. ”

The company's chief financial officer was the first to speak.

Brother Xiao Ma nodded, and this was also reasonable.

Originally, Facebook didn't have a good profit model, but since they came up with the so-called smart advertising, the advertising revenue has exploded.

It is said that the global Internet industry has caused a shock, and many large companies, including Yahoo and Google, are working on their own big data analysis and artificial intelligence.

The purpose is this smart advertising model.

This model sounds simple, but the technology behind it is said to be very high.

And Facebook, being able to make this thing, is naturally inseparable from their huge investment in manpower and basic hardware.

Brother Xiao Ma is also very envious, but he can't learn it.

Facebook has seven data centers and more than 10,000 technicians at its headquarters!

No Internet company in China dares to compare with this scale.

This is all money-burning, except for Facebook, other companies really can't afford to burn.

However, Facebook's continuous burning of money has indeed burned the effect and burned the results.

Facebook's market capitalization of $40 billion is the best proof of this.

............

"So do you have a good way to solve our traffic monetization problem? By the way, how is our QQ game platform now?" asked Xiao Ma again.

"Uh...... ,QQ game platform,It's OK......。 However, because the Facebook game platform is now dominant, we have a bit of a small number of active users. The vice president in charge of the QQ game platform hurriedly replied.

Brother Pony sighed, it's Facebook again!

This company is truly a nightmare for its competitors.

Entering any field, it will quickly become a hegemon-like existence, leaving competitors with no way out, let alone competition, and even survival is difficult.

Fortunately, the core business of his company, Internet instant messaging, is still relatively solid and has not been surpassed by WeChat.

However, WeChat has not made any efforts, which makes Xiao Ma always worried.

He was afraid that one day, WeChat would suddenly make some big moves and crush his company's core business.

In that case, Tencent will really be finished.

"Actually, I still firmly believe that monetizing online games is the best way out for us!" said another vice president.

For the game part, Tencent has not given up.

I originally wanted to exert my strength on the QQ game platform, but I was hit head-on by Facebook Games and defeated.

The current QQ game platform has also become undead and tepid, which can be regarded as barely supporting.

Online games, this is a "gold mine" excavated by the domestic Internet industry in recent years!

Everyone saw the grand success!

Obviously, Shanda is just a small leather bag company, but because it acted as an agent for a popular online game, it almost became the largest Internet company in China.

They all went to the United States to be listed on the NASDAQ, with a market value of billions of dollars!

In comparison, Tencent is too miserable.

started much earlier than Shanda, and the number of users far exceeded the other party, and as a result, the market value was only one-tenth of that of others......

Therefore, not only Tencent, but also NetEase and Sohu, have all rushed into the game industry.

NetEase's self-developed games are also impressive, although they are not rich and expensive, but they have also made a lot of money.

What's more, the two online games operated by Facebook Games this year have made everyone see the prospects.

This thing is so profitable!

Look at World of Warcraft, look at CSOL, that's really a daily gold fight......

Everyone knows that once Facebook Games is listed, the market value is expected to surpass Facebook's.

This is another giant company with a market capitalization of tens of billions of dollars!

"Didn't you go to South Korea to inspect game companies, did you make any good discoveries?" asked Brother Pony with concern.

If you rely on self-development, it is too slow, and Tencent does not have this technical reserve.

Therefore, they plan to learn from Shanda and go to South Korea to find a potential game to represent.
