Chapter 185 is ushering in the era of micro-messaging
The news of the contact between Goldman Sachs and Weixin spread without deliberately concealing it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Later, under the disclosure of well-intentioned people, the valuation offered by Goldman Sachs for Weixin was also disclosed.
$1.2 billion!
The people who heard the news were almost frightened to the point that their feet went weak for the first time.
Because this has exceeded the bottom line of ordinary people's hearts.
US$1.2 billion, converted into RMB. But 9.6 billion, close to 10 billion!
In 01, almost all of the companies worth tens of billions of dollars are state-owned enterprises, and private enterprises are rare.
But how can this kind of thing happen to an Internet company now that it doesn't cause people to be surprised?
Last month, Longma UC, which specializes in instant messaging, sold for a measly $8 million.
As a giant in the field of instant messaging, Weixin was questioned by many people at the time, and it was worthy of the $448 million valuation offered by MIH.
But in just one month, Weixin slapped his face!
Goldman Sachs has already set a $1.2 billion valuation for it, what else do you have to say?
This is Goldman Sachs, one of the four major investment banks. Its gold content is not at all comparable to MIH, a South African media giant!
The public's valuation of this investment bank is still relatively convincing from the heart.
In addition, $1.2 billion is already $752 million higher than the $448 million valuation of Weixin's first financing.
752 million US dollars converted into RMB, that is 6 billion!
The last time Weixin accepted financing was in December last year, that is, nine months ago!
In nine months, it appreciated by 6 billion, and this appreciation speed may not be so fast in a rocket!
This is a mythical story of wealth appreciation that belongs to the Internet!
However, there are many people who can't believe it, thinking that this is a complete hype!
Therefore, not long after the news came out, the hotline of Weixin was blown up!
Ninety percent of them are asking about the authenticity of the news!
Weixin seemed very cooperative this time and sent Wu Xiaoguang to come forward for an interview.
It was confirmed that a valuation offer was indeed received from Goldman Sachs.
However, whether Goldman Sachs has issued a valuation of $1.2 billion for Weixin is a trade secret and cannot be disclosed!
In the eyes of the people, there is no denial, it means recognition.
At this time, the public is more curious about another thing, has Weixin accepted this valuation?
Because if you accept this valuation offer from Goldman Sachs, it means that Su Wen will become the new richest man in Jiangbei!
The valuation of $1.2 billion is 9.6 billion yuan when converted into RMB, and Su Wen holds 65% of the shares of WeChat.
In other words, Su Wen's worth has appreciated to 6.2 billion yuan!
And Wang Ruhai, the richest man in Jiangbei, only has assets of 5.6 billion yuan.
If Weixin accepts this valuation, it means that Wang Ruhai's net worth will be 600 million yuan less than Su Wen!
Will the name of the richest man in Jiangbei change hands?
And in the next three days, as if an appointment, Citi, Morgan and Stanley, among the four major investment banks, all came to the door one after another.
However, the conditions offered by these three investment banks for Weixin are similar to those of Goldman Sachs.
If you don't accept financing, you will fool Weixin to go public.
Su Wen rejected all the financing requests put forward by the four major investment banks.
As for the question of whether to go public or not, it seems very ambiguous, and there is no clear refusal or promise, indicating that it still needs to be considered.
This is a strategy negotiated by Su Wen and Rodman, although there are no plans to go public for the time being, but you might as well brush your face first.
Start the popularity of WeChat!
The four major investment banks gathered in Jiangzhou, only for the same Internet company, this news has just come out, and in an instant, it has detonated the entire Shenzhou continent!
These are the four major investment banks, capitalists who stand above all living beings!
The four major investment banks are here, what does this mean?
It shows that the potential of Weixin has made these capitalists salivate!
There are many people in the industry who express their true feelings.
The era of the three major portals has passed, and China's Internet is ushering in the era of micro-messaging!
The status of the matter is threatened, and of course the three major portals cannot turn a blind eye.
Continue to increase efforts on their respective portals to publish news about the harm caused by micro-newsletters to young people.
Among them, Sina, as the portal with the largest news audience, published the most micro-messages about the harm of the "Legend 2" online game to teenagers.
However, Sina's news was quickly slapped in the face.
It's still quite ruthless!
As a good "Herald" that has always cooperated with WeChat.
Just post the news on its news platform.
A source has confirmed that Sina is secretly approaching a Korean game company to negotiate the number one online game in South Korea, Lineage!
As soon as this news came out, many people were in an uproar, while promoting the harm of online games to teenagers, while secretly acting as an agent for online games.
However, the news that Sina is preparing to act as an agent for online games has just attracted attention.
was robbed of the limelight by another news from WeChat.
As the reporter digs deeper, another shocking news arrives!
Weixin does not plan to accept the financing offers of the four major investment banks, and may choose to take the road of listing and financing!
As soon as this news came out, it was even more exciting than the four major investment banks gathering in Jiangzhou and Goldman Sachs to offer a valuation of $1.2 billion for WeChat!
What going public means for a company is not just to go from a private company to a public enterprise.
After listing, attached to this company, there is another title, listed company!
As soon as the news came out, many people couldn't sit still, and the Jiangzhou Municipal Government came to care twice.
also brought a blockbuster news, WeChat has attracted the attention of provincial leaders!
A provincial leader has already made instructions to make Weixin stay in Jiangzhou.
Because Jiangzhou, as a provincial capital, is the façade of Jiangbei.
As a company with a valuation close to 10 billion, if the decision to move out is made, it will inevitably affect the image of the city of Jiangzhou.
Of course, the government has also given Weixin a lot of preferential policies.
At the same time, it made a guarantee that as long as Weixin wants to build a company building in Jiangzhou in the future, it will give full support.
Su Wen also felt the heavy pressure on his body.
Although it has not yet been listed, every move is no longer just representing itself.
Seeing off the leaders of the city government, Su Wen cleaned up his mood in his office and prepared to pick up people at the airport after work.
Today is August 24th, and tomorrow is August 25th, my birthday.
Although school only started in mid-September, Li Qiuge was ready to come back early to accompany him for his birthday.
After the body has been prescribed meat, it has not been fishy for more than a month, and Su Wen is a little unaccustomed to it.
Therefore, when he heard the news that Li Qiuge was coming back, Su Wen's heart was a little hot.
It's not yet time to get off work, but there's nothing more important than going to the sexual bliss!
