Successively cashing out part of it to repay debts, do what you want to do more, and leave a little shares as protection, which is probably the best plan for Ye Dongqing.

Today, it is worth a lot of money, but the actual cash is not much, and the ratio of debt to total assets is about 31 percent, both bank debt and investors' money, which is generally relatively stable and less risky.

To use the money of a third party to earn money for yourself, you only need to pay a part of the reasonable interest, and most of the other people who can afford it are doing the same, and there are very few enterprises that are completely debtless, so it is not terrible to owe money, but the terrible thing is that the ratio of total assets to total liabilities is unreasonable.

In the early stage of development, most of the Internet companies invested a lot of money, and their actual profitability was weak.

Ye Dongqing's own companies are no exception, the reason why Facebook can rise to such a high valuation is mainly because it has followed a relatively good development model, successfully achieved high profits, and its performance is still rising.

People like to invest in Internet stocks.

There is no room for gambling on the stocks of ordinary old traditional enterprises, and the stock price fluctuation of two percent is a remarkable number, and people can calculate the approximate size of the gain or loss, as if the price is clearly marked, the stock price may rise, but the cycle is relatively long, and it is difficult to have large fluctuations in a short period of time.

Internet stocks are different.

It is not difficult to double the stock price in one year, and the stock price has even doubled several times in two or three years, and in general, there is more room for betting, and high profits are accompanied by high risks, as long as a company's performance is good enough, the price-earnings ratio can almost be ignored, and it is easier to produce bubbles.

For the vast majority of investors, it doesn't matter if it bubbles or not, just don't blow it up in your own hands, and investors who are both safe and patient like Mr. Buffett are in the minority after all.

Ye Dongqing knows the gambler psychology of investors, so in his opinion, it takes a period of time to go public, and then a period of time to sell some stocks one after another, and the share of funds withdrawn should be quite good.

He has too many shares, and the cycle of selling will be very long, just like when Gates decided to reduce his holdings of Microsoft shares on a regular basis, more than ten years have passed, and he is still reducing his holdings regularly, and selling too much at one time will have an impact on the market, and it is not in the interests of Ye Dongqing, he knows the value of these assets, and there is room for growth.

Combining these, he came to the conclusion that he could go public, so he decided to go public.

There is still something to do before announcing this news, I have promised some employees to give equity awards, options or anything is no longer necessary, Facebook can set up option awards, Whatsapp here is not as big as Facebook, you can go public quickly.

At this moment.

Ye Dongqing came to the floor where the rented Whatsapp company was located, and under the gaze of people, he pulled an empty table, stepped on a chair and stood on the table, clapped his hands and said, "Everyone stop, come to my side, I have news to announce." ”

Just three or four hundred people, relatively empty, one by one, the employees came here one after another.

Some of the executives who received the news also came out of the office, and they had not received any news related to the listing before that.

After waiting for a few minutes, I asked again to make sure that I had all come.

He continued to speak, with a smile on his face, and said with a full heart: "I think Whatsapp is already a relatively mature company, so I will arrange for this company to go public next!"

It caused a sensation in an instant, and everyone was talking about it without caring about being polite or impolite.

Even Mr. Deville, the current CEO of Whatsapp, is a surprised expression, he has suggested more than once that it can be listed, but it has been vetoed by Ye Dongqing again and again, and now it seems that the boss is really more discerning, and it is correct to go public in the morning.

However, today he quietly said that he was going to go public, and he hadn't informed himself in advance, and he was in a helpless mood at the moment.

Clapping his hands, Ye Dongqing then smiled: "Please be quiet for a while, before going public, I decided to take out two percent of the company's shares and distribute them to all the employees who have contributed to the company!"

The specific plan will be introduced in the next two days, the level is different, and the equity rewards are also different, and these things should be handled in the near future, which is almost equal to a year-end bonus of 150 million US dollars, and how much it is worth in the future depends on your efforts to see how high the stock price can rise after it is listed!"

The applause of surprise came instantly, and the employees on the entire floor were shocked!

Even downstairs, you can hear the movement coming from this floor, and the Facebook staff downstairs wondered what was going on, shook their heads, and continued to work.

Before.

The only time equity and large dividends were given was when Ye Dongqing decided to sell Skype.

This company is developing well in Microsoft, but Gates once told him face to face, saying that he felt cheated, because there are more advanced alternatives to Whatsapp, so that Skype's growth is sluggish, fortunately, Gates doesn't care about this money, and there are not many shares in Microsoft, just casually, without the meaning of delve.

In fact, although there is not much contact, there are only so many people in the circle of the same level, Ye Dongqing and Gates have a good relationship, often like each other on Facebook, and occasionally exchange some ideas on the phone, some time ago Gates also went to Ye Dongqing's private island in Fiji for a few days.

People originally thought that today was a very ordinary day, but they didn't expect to suddenly get the equity award, and the old employees were ecstatic, because they might get and rent a house in the near future, and now they can get the equity award again.

The newly joined employees, whose grades and working hours are still average, hope that Ye Dongqing can add his name to it with an uneasy attitude, and the math is good one by one, and the average amount of more than 300,000 US dollars per employee is calculated, even if it is assigned to a part by the management, the older employees are estimated to be able to get a share of more than 100,000 US dollars.

Someone couldn't wait to ask Ye Dongqing: "I've only been here for four months, and now I'm at the Lv5 level, can I get equity dividends?"

In the company, even the sweeping aunt can climb to the Lv3 and Lv4 levels after working for three years, and then get a higher salary, a total of 25 levels of job division, it should be no work experience, and the fresh graduates who have just joined in have just joined in the kind that turned from interns to regulars.

Happy, it's rare to scatter money, Ye Dongqing replied: "Yes, but it won't be too much, continue to work hard in the future, and get the option reward after the listing, I can only say that you are not very lucky, sorry ......"
