Speaking of which, Facebook is perhaps the easiest project for Woodwind to invest in – and of course, the biggest return in the future (purely monetary). Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Facing 25-year-old Sean and 20-year-old Zuckerberg, a room with a R&D team of less than ten people.

Lin Feng only spent one afternoon, plus a dinner.

After signing the agreement to invest in Facebook, he signed a check for $1 million on the spot......

In this way, Lin Feng easily replaced Peter Thiel in his previous life a month earlier and became an angel investor in Facebook.

It also successfully obtained the ticket to the world's largest social empire with a market value of more than $400 billion in the future - 20% of Facebook's shares, and the same proportion of co-investment rights.

As long as Lin Feng has always followed in every round of financing of Facebook, he will maintain this 20% stake.

Then, by the time Facebook goes public in 2012, those shares will be worth more than $20 billion, a 20,000-fold increase from the initial investment!

If you always hold it and don't sell it, by 2017, before Lin Feng's rebirth, this 20% stake will be worth $80 billion!

Of course, in fact, after Facebook reached its Series C funding, it was already valued at $15 billion.

In other words, in the later round of financing, if Lin Feng still wants to continue to invest, he will have to pay $3 billion in the D round of financing......

Therefore, Lin Feng will also invest until the C round at most.

In this way, when it comes to finally Facebook going public. He can leave about 10%-12% of the stake after a few rounds of dilution, which is very good.

You must know that by the time Facebook went public in 2012, even Xiaoza himself had 28% of the shares left.

Of course, Lin Feng will always have a seat on Facebook's board of directors, and his influence and value cannot be estimated.

…………

After the investment in Facebook is completed, the important thing for Lin Feng to stay in Silicon Valley is half completed.

And the other half, he is always hesitating and considering.

That is Android, one of the two camps of the future mobile operating system!

It's a very good time for Andy Rubin, the "father of Android", to start the next generation of smartphones in October 2003.

He plans to design a mobile platform that is open to all software developers.

At this time, Andy has not received investment, but is relying on his own savings and the support of his friends to carry out the project with difficulty.

Lin Feng believes that it should not be difficult for him to propose to invest in or even acquire the Android company now.

Reborn, he knows that the Internet will continue to flourish in less than ten years, and it will inevitably enter the era of mobile Internet.

In fact, he has been making layouts before, including Menglong Company, although it is now a wireless value-added service, in fact, whether it is talent or technical reserves, he is preparing for the mobile Internet. But these are petty fights.

If you can have the Android system, it will be equivalent to standing in an extremely advantageous position in the field of mobile Internet in the future!

Whether it is through the Android system and the world's major manufacturers to form alliances, cooperation, or in the mobile server, to establish their own channels and traffic entrances, will be a huge invisible influence.

But then, here's the problem!

Without the Android system supported by Google, can we still get nearly 100 hardware manufacturers, software developers and telecom operators around the world to form an Open Phone Alliance to jointly develop and improve the Android system, as in the previous life?......

Lin Feng is self-aware, whether it is popular or Menglong, they are all service-oriented Internet companies that mainly provide entertainment content, rather than pure technology companies.

To put it bluntly, Fengxing does not have the world's top R&D team like Google, nor does it have the genes for R&D.

And of course, without Google's huge global reach!

It can be said that Android is a big piece of fat.

But now that it is popular, it can be eaten, but it can't be fed, or rather, ......it can't be raised.

What should I do? Do you want to take down the Android company?

Lin Feng fell into deep thought.

In his previous life, he had personally experienced the whole process of the rise of the Android camp.

It can be said that at the beginning, although the Android alliance promoted by Google was huge, because of Android's poor system stability, the Android camp did not develop greatly for a long time.

But all this has changed dramatically with the launch of Apple's own smartphone, the Iphone, which is based on its own IOS system, completely disrupting the mobile phone industry.

The iPhone has become a global hit, completely changing the mobile communication landscape around the world.

Carriers are starting to look around the world for another smartphone system to compete with the iPhone.

Nokia had this opportunity in front of him, but the system based on S60/90 was too old, and Nokia had become a slow fat man after lying in the hotbed for several years; Microsoft's wince was not the core strategy; BlackBerry thought that the enterprise market was very safe, and reluctantly made a few touch models out, which was unreliable ......at first glance.

Just when the operators were desperate, Google stood up: Look, I got a mobile phone system: the system is open, what do you want, pre-installed software, app market, mobile phone shape, you are free. Oh yes, it's free! In addition, we keep up with Apple's pace, the iPhone will add a function tomorrow morning, I will get it out at noon, and the development is convenient, the system is friendly, and a number of small innovations are included......

So, throughout 2009 to 2011, all the operators in the world's communications market were shouting "Android, give me Android, give me fucking Android". Chip manufacturers MTK, Qualcomm, TI, screen manufacturers, flash memory, mobile phone manufacturers HTC, Samsung, Moto, Lenovo, LG, Sony, Huawei, copycat army, peripheral APP software vendors......

In fact, with the exception of Apple, the entire industry is already running at high speed around Android.

The new Android machine is innovating at an unimaginable speed, "there are flagships every month, and each is the king of the machine", and the software and hardware are iterating rapidly.

In the history of human IT in just a few decades, there has never been a product that has been so widely and deeply supported and has evolved so rapidly.

It can be said that the success of the Android system is due to the factors of time and place, of course, free and open, is the key to its rapid development.

Well, the question comes back to it.

Can Fengxing do this?

Let's talk about R&D strength first, if Fengxing acquires the Android company, it must be placed in the research institute in Silicon Valley, Lin Feng thinks, even if there is no team now, after several years of recruitment and formation, it should be able to form a good R&D team, of course, it is not as scary as Google's engineering team, but the initial research and development of the Android system should be enough.

Next, it is the strength and influence that can form a global alliance of hardware, software, operators, and mobile phone manufacturers......

To put it bluntly, the current popularity can only be regarded as an online game company with good cash flow.

But there is still room and time for Fengxing to develop!

There are still 5 to 6 years to go before the real global outbreak period of Android, Lin Feng believes that with his prophet of the future, he will lay out in multiple directions, and with this time, it is impossible to make Fengxing Company change its face and enhance its status and influence in the industry.

Moreover, Fengxing can also find a suitable ally during this period.

Like what...... Huawei?

It seems that you can give it a try! Lin Feng was in good spirits.

This step is so crucial!

If we can acquire Android and let the Android system develop and grow like in the previous life, then Fengxing will become one of the natural leaders in the mobile Internet era, which is undoubtedly an incomparable huge temptation for Lin Feng, who wants to become a giant in the Internet and mobile Internet era!

Let's give it a go!

Lin Feng gritted his teeth and made his decision.

Acquisition of Android Inc.
