Chapter 697: Savior
That's right, in John Doerr's mind, Ding Yi seems to be synonymous with success.
Ding Yi's history of making a fortune in China is not to mention, it is just a means on the American side, the blog, which became an instant hit, and in just two years, more than one billion dollars were sold......
Yahoo, with billions in profits, withdrew in time......
The weather vane has also become a fashion for young people in the United States in just two years.
Now Google, which looks like it has unlimited potential, Xuanyuan Investment is also one of the biggest profiteers.
Other people's success seems to be strength, and opportunities are indispensable, but Ding Yi can always make everyone look at him casually.
Can this be said about opportunities and the like? That is the embodiment of superpower......
That's right, now in John Doerr's eyes, Ding Yi is the kind of super tough entrepreneur, a genius among geniuses.
Looking at John Doerr with an emotional face, Ding Yi smiled and said, "How about it, your 50 million was not wasted." ”
"No waste, no waste!" John Doerr laughed happily, "Now Facebook, even in this environment, is worth $300 million. If it had been a year or two earlier, it would have been three or five billion!"
Think about how crazy Yahoo was back then, it was really a multi-billion acquisition at every turn......
Which of those sites compares to Facebook?
The total number of users cannot be compared, the development speed cannot be compared, and the user stickiness cannot be compared. Social stuff has always been the app with the highest user stickiness.
Ding Yi shook his head helplessly, and quipped, "So, aren't we losing a lot? Billions, just fly?"
Hearing Ding Yi's words, John Doerr was speechless and said, "Before and after, you made 500 million yuan on Yahoo, and you still lost a lot? You know, the total market value of Yahoo is only more than 10 billion now." If you still lose a lot, all the investment companies in the United States can collectively line up to feed the fish. ”
After a couple of quips, John Doerr said, "By the way, Facebook is growing too fast, and it consumes a lot of money......"
Ding nodded, the number of users increased too fast, and the company's scale expanded rapidly, from a team of twelve people to a company of several hundred people in just two months, and the server expenditure also increased rapidly.
This is also a loss of the previous stock market crash, whether it is Internet practitioners, or server costs have been reduced a lot, otherwise the cost of funds will be greater.
Of course, no matter how big the consumption is, it will not burn 50 million dollars in just two months.
John Doerr's proposal for financing this time is nothing more than taking on too much pressure, is it really just propaganda in the recent period?
Everyone saw an opportunity in it, the family was fine, so many people stared at Facebook, John Doerr was indeed a little overwhelmed......
After thinking for a while, Ding Yi said, "How can 50 million last until the end of the year, right? Similarly, if I really raise funds, I hope that my equity will be diluted by no more than 20 ......percent in the A round of investment."
John Doure nodded, and on this point, he couldn't help but agree.
Ding Yi has a lot of say on Facebook, from the very beginning, everyone has an agreement, Ding Yi has the right to prioritize investment, veto and so on.
After thinking about it, John Doerr said, "Then we will increase the stock by 20% in Series A?"
Ding nodded and replied cheerfully, "No problem!"
John Doerr said, "What do you say about valuation?"
Ding Yi thought about it for a while, and said uncertainly, "Why don't you wait until the end of the year to talk about this, depending on the specific situation?"
John Doll nodded, "Okay!"
After finalizing the general financing in a few words, Ding paused and asked, "By the way, the fab?"
Seeing that Ding Yi was still worried about the wafer factory, John Doerr, who had been in a good mood recently, immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, you will definitely be able to complete the procedures in September." ”
……
After John Doerr left, Ding Yi fell into deep thought, to be honest, the speed of Facebook's development was indeed beyond his expectations.
As for him, he is a good countryman, and he has become a representative of the American dream!
Ding Yi really couldn't cry or laugh!
Ah, the hegemony of the United States is more awesome than a stick......
However, Ding Yi has no objection to this, with this name, it will allow him to increase a lot of influence on the United States, and it will be much easier to deal with the United States in the future.
Anyway, in the next ten years, Ding Yi didn't plan to have any conflicts with this side, dig deep holes, accumulate grain, and slowly become king. As for whether the guys on the American side will regret it in the future!
Well, Ding Yi feels that many people don't, these capitalists, what they pursue is profit.
While Ding Yi was thinking about this, Chen Xian'er sneaked in, and then hugged and hugged Ding Yi, taking advantage of him......
was rubbed by Chen Xian'er's saliva, Ding Yi pushed her away speechlessly and said, "Nervous?"
As he spoke, Ding Yi couldn't help but wipe his face, and there was actually residual lipstick......
These high-end lipsticks are just not good, they will fade at every turn!
Chen Xian'er ignored Ding Yi's disgusted expression, and said with admiration on her face, "You are really too good!"
During this period of time, Ding Yi's operation really dazzled Chen Xian'er.
The establishment of a new company, in just two months, the valuation of more than 400 million, US dollars.
This earning power......
What a god descends to earth!
Ding Yi, who was praised, looked at Chen Xian'er with a smile and gave her a thumbs up, "I found that what I like the most is your honesty." ”
"Haha!" Chen Xian'er straightened her chest and said happily, "That must be, I, Chen Xian'er, am an honest and kind little fairy!"
Belch......
Is this an opponent?
After that, the two looked at each other and smiled, very cheerful.
After a few words of business blowing, Chen Xian'er said happily, "Facebook is really powerful now!"
Ding nodded, "It will be even more powerful in the future, and by the end of the year, it is possible that the valuation will reach one billion." ”
This is not Ding Yi's nonsense......
Looking at the recent performance of the Nasdaq, market confidence is obviously recovering, and it is really possible that the entire market can be used as an opportunity to be pulled up again by those financial institutions.
In this case, Facebook, which is the embodiment of the opportunity, must continue to appreciate in value with the support of these financial institutions. Even if it's not worth it, it's a big deal that everyone will contribute some money together, and the market value of Facebook will be speculated.
Most likely, this is a manifestation of market confidence.
Hearing Ding Yi say this, Chen Xian'er asked, "So, the stock market crash has passed?"
Ding Yi thought about it for a moment, "There is a high probability that it will not be as cold as before." ”
This is not impossible, although it is said that the stock market crash lasted until 02 and lasted for more than two years, mainly because there was no good opportunity to restructure market confidence at that time, not only did not have the opportunity to regain confidence, but in 01 year, there was also 911, so that the market, which had just had a little confidence, hit the freezing point directly under this attack!
And now, the stock market crash has happened for nearly a year, and the Nasdaq index has fallen by nearly 70 percent......
At this time, Ding Yi appeared at the right time, and he was simply a savior!
