243 Lack of money, not lack of money

Zhang Xian and Zhu Jiarun are indeed quite busy, although it is very comfortable to stay at home, but they also have jobs.

At the end of the year, or at the end of the Lunar New Year, it is natural to prepare for the annual meeting, which is also a tradition of the Dream People Group, Zhang Xian and Zhu Jiarun are more concerned about the Lunar New Year, so the annual meeting is naturally held before the Lunar New Year.

Of course, it is also the New Year's Day has passed, which also means that the year has passed, and they are making the work arrangement for the new year, and they are also doing some work summaries in 2010, which are all things that the two of them are busy with now.

When they went out, they naturally got a warmer farewell, even if Zhang Xian and Zhu Jiarun felt that such a farewell was a bit redundant. But there is no way, who makes them worth a lot of money now, and now their every move is being watched by many well-intentioned people.

"Quite tired, right?" Zhang Xian was a little distressed, hugged Zhu Jiarun and said, "It's really too tiring to be sent every day, and it's really tiring and troublesome." ”

Zhu Jiarun leaned on Zhang Xian's shoulder with a smile and said lightly, "What's so tiring about this, we basically just eat and drink." It doesn't matter if we don't talk distractedly, basically other people talk with us, it is their attitude towards us, and it is not us who flatter others, so what's so tiring about it. ”

Hearing Zhu Jiarun say this, Zhang Xian also laughed, because what Zhu Jiarun said was quite reasonable. The reason is naturally that this matter is really not too tiring, although neither of them particularly likes some socialization, but now they are basically the protagonists, and naturally it is not that they are there to cater to others.

I feel more and more the importance of having a private jet, although there is no airport near my hometown now, but I can park in the next city, which can save a lot of time. Otherwise, you really need to transfer and wait for the flight, which is actually quite troublesome.

After returning to the capital, Zhang Xian and Zhu Jiarun naturally went to the group headquarters and began to prepare for the office.

"Wife, how is that selfie stick now?" Zhang Xian was a little curious, thinking about the financial problem, "It seems that there are competitors in the market, if it is appropriate, you can make a move, can you get some money for your husband?"

Zhu Jiarun crossed Erlang's legs and said with a smile, "No! Selfie sticks are really popular now, but I think they must be getting hotter and hotter." It's a cash flow, and the benefits are certainly no worse than drones. Wait, in another year or two, I will sell at a high price when it is hottest, this is a premium sale, and now the price is not cost-effective. ”

"Then we are now waiting for the two projects of Where is Dad going and The Voice?" Zhang Xian was a little worried, and said to Zhu Jiarun, "The money earned over there is basically spent on the development of media companies, and it is not enough in the construction of theaters." Even if there is "Thai Embarrassment" in the first month, it is difficult to say whether the box office can be a complete hit, and there is also a share of the theater chain, and it is not all on our company's account, which is still not enough!"

Zhu Jiarun was not in a hurry, and said to Zhang Xian, "It will definitely be difficult to complete the construction of the theater for a while, but the ability of several variety shows and TV movies to attract money is very good." I think you have taken a big step, you can invest in the construction of cinemas, but you can't just think about your investment. Anyway, there is a lot of output on the side of the media company, which is enough. ”

It makes sense to think about it, because Dream People Media naturally has a huge investment in building a theater, and it is basically difficult to build it with only a few movies. However, it can't really rely on the allocation of the group headquarters, and it can't just rely on Zhang Xian and Zhu Jiarun to support it, Dream People Media actually has a good output, and the step-by-step development is good.

"I'm actually quite kind to you, some of my investments have either been sold or produced. So it's enough for us to build a house, and I also specially added your name, you are the head of the household!" Zhu Jiarun said to Zhang Xian with a smile, "Husband, you don't seem to have any private money, but I do, and you don't know where the money for building my house comes from." ”

Zhang Xian was not angry, and was very dissatisfied with Zhu Jiarun's actions, "I have always been difficult to control the investment company, they basically listen to you, I am your puppet." And don't think I don't know, you use your tools for private purposes, and some of your investments are private, so you make a lot of money, right?"

Zhu Jiarun smiled, very proud, "I also became a small dealer a little, and I found that cutting leeks is very profitable." ”

Zhang Xian was speechless, and was once again impressed by Zhu Jiarun's temperament, which is basically certain, that is, Zhu Jiarun is quite undisciplined. But this is also normal, being an expert is really profitable, and the benefits are great.

"You have to be careful, don't put it in, and don't ban it from entering the market. Zhang Xian couldn't help but remind Zhu Jiarun that he knew that Zhu Jiarun liked to speculate in stocks, "Make some money to improve your life, it's up to you." Speaking of which, the money we pay to buy a house is basically yours, right?"

"Some of them are also from the company's accounts, so that we can pay less personal income. Zhu Jiarun smiled, fully proving that 'being rich is not benevolent' and 'there is a way to make money', "Anyway, the company has to pay taxes, so let's forget it." Like cars, air tickets, etc., all of them are companies. In the case of airplanes, I also take the company's account, not our private. ”

Zhang Xian was stunned for a moment, but suddenly laughed too, because this scene is actually not uncommon.

Many wealthy people are like this, and the cars and houses driven by the company's executives are all under the company's banner. In fact, this is not a reduction in personal income, which is apportioned to the company's operating costs.

It's not bad to hang the plane to the company, although the plane is basically used by Zhang Xian and Zhu Jiarun, but this can make the two people not so conspicuous, the company's plane and the personal plane are completely different things.

Then there is the matter of money, in the final analysis, this can still save Zhang Xian and Zhu Jiarun some money; no one will be disgusted with too much money, and it is not bad to save a little. Private jets are really expensive, and Zhang Xian and Zhu Jiarun are now here to use the company's planes and cars to serve them, which is also the reason for their positions, because of their status in the company.

"In the future, if the plane arrives under the name of the group, the two of us will definitely not be able to use it, and when the time comes, it can also be used by investment companies, Weibo or media companies, so we don't have to be idle all the time. Zhang Xian analyzed it rationally and felt that this was very good, "The two of us don't fly every day, so it's better to buy a plane and make it worth the money." ”

Zhu Jiarun nodded hurriedly, buying a plane is not a matter of two people, but the development of the group needs this.

"I'll wait for a video conference call with Parker, I'll push for the sale of the Instagram, and if Facebook goes public in the first half of this year, we're all shareholders anyway. Zhang Xian crossed Erlang's legs and gave Zhu Jiarun an eviction order, "If they see you here, they will definitely say that I am a strict wife." ”

Zhu Jiarun smiled, not unhappy because she received the eviction order, because she knew some habits of Americans, although she had a good relationship with Parker's people, but Americans often pay attention to business is business.

What if she is Zhang Xian's girlfriend, the photo wall does not have a little stake in Zhu Jiarun, so those people don't care about Zhu Jiarun's opinion. Just like Facebook, Zhang Xian doesn't have any shares, so even if he is Zhu Jiarun's boyfriend, those who only look at shares don't care about Zhang Xian's opinion at all, and they don't want to see this 'stranger' at the shareholders' meeting.

This is the reality, some things don't mean that the relationship is good, or that Zhang Xian and Zhu Jiarun have a deep relationship, and they really don't care about these. But people outside, they still recognize people, especially Zhang Xian and Zhu Jiarun are not married yet, and they treat these things more clearly, even if they have no doubt that Zhang Xian and Zhu Jiarun will come together.

"You go to a meeting and ask them to sell the photo wall. Cash out for you, and repay some of the bank loan by the way. Zhu Jiarun laughed and threw a wink at Zhang Xian, "I look at the financial reports of Ali and Facebook, and they all make money." ”

Although the 2010 financial report has not yet been announced, everyone knows that their rapid development and profit basically reached 1.47 billion yuan, which is naturally a lot.

This is definitely going to be public, because Alibaba is a listed company.

But Facebook is not, Facebook is not listed now, everyone knows that Facebook has overtaken Yahoo to become the third largest website in the world, leading the top three with Microsoft Google, knowing that Facebook is now developing rapidly, and also knowing that Facebook is making a lot of money from its advertising business.

Because of the monetization of advertising and virtual goods, Facebook's revenue is getting higher and higher, almost certainly close to a billion dollars. As for the profits inside, only shareholders like Zhu Jiarun know about it.

"They did want to buy our Instagram, but now that we're offering cash and stock, I think they'll take it. Sean Parker is proud because he has another successful project under his belt, "Our company has been around for less than a year, but our mobile app has adapted to the times and the needs of our users, and we have more and more users and are getting higher and higher on the list of free apps in the Apple App Store." ”

Moskowitz thought for a moment and said, "I think the ideal price should be more than $500 million plus some stocks, and we have more and more users now, close to 20 million users." And the Android version we've launched is also very useful, more and more people are using smartphones, and we have a great future for our photo wall. ”

The Instagram is a very good feature supplement to Facebook, and if the Instagram wants to grow, it really needs the promotion of Facebook. In fact, there aren't many people working on Instagram these days, but it's a quick, wonderful and fun way to share your snap-ups with each other, and with this app, Instagram has created a successful value creation model that borders on mythology.

Because Instagram has always been focused on filters and picture quality, it is currently the best image filter service provider in the world. Naturally, these greatly increase the value of the photo wall.

"IT'S JUST THAT NOW THEY'VE SAID THAT IF WE COMPLETE THE ACQUISITION, WE'RE GOING TO GO INTO FACEBOOK AS WELL, AND I DIDN'T REALLY THINK OF THAT, AND I DIDN'T THINK THAT I would be here again in this way after I left it. ”

Sean Parker couldn't help but smile wryly, not knowing whether it was pride or helplessness, and Moskowitz and D'Angelo also smiled wryly, because they all knew that Parker was telling the truth, and they were both former Facebook employees.

If Instagramwall acquires Instagram, it naturally hopes to package the leadership and the founder team, because it is this elite team of founders who leads the Instagram from scratch, from small to large. The value of the photo wall is created by these people.

Parker is now the president of Instagram, and Moskowitz and D'Angelo are not only investors, shareholders, but also technology officers.

All of them, except for Parker, have their own other careers, and it is basically impossible for them to return to Facebook again. As for Zhang Xian, he is basically an investor, and Facebook may not look down on this guy who only has the title of vice president.

Let's start moving forward with this project, there is nothing wrong with being acquired, and if you get a lot of cash, you can get a little bit of a stake in Facebook, and everyone is very optimistic about Facebook's stake.

The photo wall can be developed better, but for these people, their career is not just a photo wall.

D'Angelo clearly values Quora, a Q&A service he and Zhang Xian, and Moskowitz is also very important to Asana, the software company he just founded, and he is tired of being distracted from the photo wall.

As for Parker, although he has left Facebook, he looks a bit like Zuckerberg's staff, and they all know that Parker and Zuckerberg still practice wonderfully.

Selling the website is completely unburdensome and reassuring for these people, and they make a lot of money, and all of them are members of the founding team of Facebook, and they all have some shares in Facebook. Facebook is doing better, and they're actually getting richer.

Seeing Zhang Xian walk out of the conference room with a relaxed face, Zhu Jiarun asked with a smile, "I'll earn a subsidy for you, plus the income from selling your photo wall, the Warriors can completely win it, right?"

Zhang seemed to laugh triumphantly, because Zhu Jiarun knew him very well, "Well, they all said that they could sell the photo wall, and now it's a matter of price." It's certainly not a big problem, I'm going to be about $200 million in revenue by then, and our bottom line is $500 million, plus a little bit of Facebook. ”

Zhu Jiarun thought about it, it is indeed enough, the bottom line is 500 million US dollars, but the transaction price must be higher. As for Facebook's shares, although they look pitiful at first glance, Facebook's market value is very exaggerated, and it is also very valuable, even if it is only a few tenths of a share.

So Zhu Jiarun has no doubt that this photo wall project is even enough to undertake the acquisition of the Warriors. This is undoubtedly a successful project, and Zhu Jiarun has no doubts about it.

Lack of money is naturally lack of money, because the two of them are continuing to develop their careers. But if you want to talk about money, Zhu Jiarun and Zhang Xian's net worth really don't need to be doubted, billions or tens of billions of dollars are no burden on them at all, as long as Facebook is listed. What's more, the industry of two people is not just that!
