Chapter 785: The First Good News After the Year

On February 10, Yu Wenfei received good news.

Soon after the start of construction, Cai Congxin led the members of Facebook's listing preparatory committee, plus people from Citibank, the underwriter of the listing, to conduct a roadshow.

According to the schedule, the 10th should have just arrived at the third stop, New York.

Early in the morning of domestic time, that is, in the evening of New Eastern time, Cai Congxin called Yu Wenfei.

"Mr. Fei, good news! All the additional shares we issued for the listing have been subscribed, and the number of subscriptions is almost tripled! After discussing with the people of Citibank, the price of our shares can be raised by at least 20 yuan!"

On the phone, Cai Congxin's tone was full of excitement.

This is certainly worth rejoicing, after only three roadshows, the shares have been tripled, indicating that the prospects of Facebook are recognized by most investors and are sought after!

The price of 100 yuan per share is obviously low at the moment.

Therefore, Citibank, the listed underwriter, gave professional advice and raised the stock price!

Before going public, the stock price can change at will, as long as you can ensure that the stock will be recognized by investors when it is listed.

And the roadshow is looking for investors......

"Oh, that's good, you can decide according to the situation, of course I don't have an opinion, haha......" Yu Wenfei smiled heartily.

The price of the stock is high, and his shares are more valuable, of course, there will be no opinion.

If he could, he wanted Facebook's share price to rise as high as possible!

On the phone, Yu Wenfei also learned why Facebook can be so sought after by foreign investors.

The biggest reason is because of the "advertising precision delivery system" that has just been launched recently!

It can be said that Facebook's intelligent advertising recommendation has subverted the traditional advertising model of the current global Internet industry.

Before it, all websites advertised, mostly hard and wide, and the kind of advertisements that combined with pictures and texts were like dog skin plasters all over the homepage and category pages of major websites. Whether the advertising effect is good or not is another matter, but the user experience is definitely reduced a lot!

Even if a few websites try SoftWide, the effect is extremely poor.

However, Facebook's precise advertising, combined with the user's big data model, has completely changed the Internet advertising model.

In fact, during this time, there have been Internet counterparts at home and abroad who are paying attention to Facebook's advertising system, but they have not yet fully understood how Facebook does the advertising of each user's personal interface is different, and the advertising effect is surprisingly good.

In the roadshow, Cai Congxin officially unveiled the mystery of the company's big data department, and the industry and investors suddenly realized.

It turns out that Facebook has been ahead of its global counterparts and has begun to have the prototype of "artificial intelligence"!

That's amazing!

In the Internet industry, whether domestic or global, technology is always the primary productive force.

As long as you have exclusive technology and a wide range of application prospects, then even if your company is still very inconspicuous, as long as the technology is mature, it can take off immediately!

Today, Facebook itself has a huge user base, extensive influence, and the world's top technology.

For such a company, investors have expressed their love and love.

The way investors love you, of course, is to be simple and rude, buy, buy, buy!

What the?

Facebook stock pricing is only $100 a share?

The entire company is only valued at $15 billion?

Joke!

That's too cheap, isn't it?

As far as Amazon's money-losing goods are concerned, the market value can exceed 100 billion yuan with huge losses every year, and Facebook is worth at least two or three hundred billion.

That is, Facebook has not yet gone out of China, and if it can go to the world, the market value of this company will definitely exceed Amazon!

As a result, the roadshow has only reached its third stop, and the number of investors has already exceeded the number of shares to be issued by Facebook.

After an emergency meeting between the Facebook IPO Preparatory Committee and Citibank, the IPO underwriter, decided to raise the stock price by $20 to see how investors reacted.

If......

If everyone is still actively subscribed, then there is a possibility that the price will continue to rise.

Don't say that Facebook is black-hearted, every company is like this before going public.

Obviously, their "goods" are very valuable, so why should they be sold cheaply.

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

After hanging up the phone, Yu Wenfei smiled dumbly, he didn't expect that the big data collection that Facebook had laid out in advance under his own suggestion had now provided a great boost when Facebook was launched.

And Facebook Entertainment, which has high hopes, looks like a "burden", only "eating money" and not making money.

Thinking of Facebook Entertainment, Yu Wenfei picked up the landline on the desk, "Pei'er, inform Mr. Dong of Facebook Entertainment to come and report to work." "Qishu.com

Under normal circumstances, it should be the subordinates who take the initiative to find the superiors to report their work, if Dong Xiaoxue is sensible, she should not let Yu Wenfei inform her to come, but should take the initiative to come over to report the work.

But Facebook Entertainment is a little special, because this division belongs to the division under Facebook.com, and there is a Cai Congxin between her and Yu Wenfei.

Usually, Dong Xiaoxue reports to Cai Congxin, and she can't report to the big boss Yu Wenfei.

However, Yu Wenfei is still more concerned about Facebook Entertainment, and occasionally asks the secretary to notify Dong Xiaoxue to come directly to report to work and chat or something.

After all, the two are not only a working relationship, but also have a deeper relationship.

After receiving a call from Pei'er, Dong Xiaoxue didn't dare to slack off, quickly picked up a big notebook, and walked quickly to the top floor of the No. 8 office building, Yu Wenfei's office.

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

"Mr. Dong is here, sit down. ”

Seeing Dong Xiaoxue walking in under the leadership of Pei'er, Yu Wenfei waved her hand and motioned for her to sit down on the sofa.

He himself got up and walked over.

"Mr. Fei, are you looking for me?" Dong Xiaoxue stood on the side of the sofa and did not sit down.

"Sit down, what's the coffee? Yu Wenfei greeted.

After both of them sat down, Pei'er brought two cups of fragrant coffee, then sat on Yu Wenfei's side, opened a notebook, and prepared to take notes on his work.

"How's Facebook Entertainment doing?" asked Yu Wenfei as he held the coffee cup and stirred it with a small silver spoon.

Regarding the various data of Facebook Entertainment, Dong Xiaoxue of course knows it by heart, and she doesn't need to look at the information, so she replied directly.

"Thanks to the help of brother companies, the development of Facebook Entertainment has been relatively smooth.

As of yesterday, the number of registered users of Facebook Entertainment has reached more than 150 million, the number of daily active users has exceeded 30 million, the number of weekly active users has exceeded 80 million, and the number of monthly active users has exceeded 100 million!

However, there are more users, and the pressure on the company's servers and bandwidth is quite large, in order to save the budget, after the end of this year, I took advantage of the time when Facebook Games purchased servers, and took a ride to buy a batch of servers at a low price.

But the cost of copyright purchase is very high, when will we be able to charge for it?"

After Dong Xiaoxue finished reporting the data, she looked at Yu Wenfei expectantly.

Since its establishment, Facebook Entertainment has been burning money, but she has never earned a penny, and she is also under a lot of pressure.

After entering Facebook, Dong Xiaoxue realized that the Internet industry is really not so simple, and there are many places to spend money.

In the past, she always looked down on the Internet industry, thinking that any portal was just a leather bag company that made a website with a computer, and she was cheating venture capital companies out of money. That is to say, any messy Internet company can go public in the United States, and it will have a market value of tens of billions or even tens of billions at every turn.

Why did the old magazine decline, it's so unfair!

But if you ask her now, she will definitely not say that, because after understanding, she realized that her previous thoughts were too one-sided.

Internet companies don't just get a computer and make a website, take Facebook as an example, from an outsider's point of view, it is indeed a simple website.

If someone doesn't understand, tell him that there are not many employees of Facebook, and he will believe it.

But Dong Xiaoxue knows how much hard work of employees is behind a simple website like Facebook, and how much financial investment is needed to support millions or even tens of millions of users to browse and use this website smoothly.

It can be said that every month alone is the salary expense of employees, which can bankrupt the commercial printing office where she was originally located......

Not to mention the servers that cost one or two hundred thousand, and Facebook procures servers, starting with hundreds of servers every time!

Dong Xiaoxue realized that behind the simple and refreshing webpage of Facebook, there were so many people's efforts and such a huge amount of capital investment.

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

Now she is also the CEO of a business department, and if she sits in this position, of course she has to worry about it.

From the beginning of the company to the present, the light is through her hands, and the flowers are spent...... No, it should be said that the money "burned" out is hundreds of millions!

With so much money, it made her panic......

I've never seen so much money when I've grown so big!

After spending so much, but not earning a penny for the company, of course she will be anxious.

Yu Wenfei understood what she meant, smiled slightly, and put down the coffee cup in his hand.

said softly: "Don't worry, you don't need to think about making money in a short period of time, what you have to think about is how to make Facebook video and Facebook music better, and improve user stickiness!"

When, when users can no longer do without Facebook videos and Facebook music, it will be the season of Facebook entertainment harvest.

Do you see what I mean?"

Dong Xiaoxue seems to understand a little bit and doesn't understand, so that users can no longer do without Facebook videos and music?

This difficulty...... It's a bit big!

What does it take to get there?

She frowned, and said while thinking, "Try to make our website's copyright library of film and television dramas and songs more comprehensive?"

Yu Wenfei nodded, "This is a factor, what else?"
