Chapter 352: The World's Financial Upstarts
In mid-November, new news was released from Silicon Valley in the United States. [No pop-up novel network]
The Fulendbook database and the database of the friend network have successfully completed the merger, and the docking of the two networks has been officially completed, which means that now the friend network is officially integrated into the PSFulendbook, and at the same time, the interface of the friend network has been adjusted, and the merger into Fulendbook is officially counted as its Chinese version.
However, unlike other versions, the Chinese version is handled by the headquarters, and only the Chinese version has its own official practice and team responsible for operation, which can also reflect the special honor of Xia Ruxuan's contribution.
After the completion of the merger, all the servers were set up in Silicon Valley, and the website officially exceeded 150 million users, of which 40 million came from China and the rest from all over the world.
This number is increasing and increasing at an alarming rate. At the end of 2007, Xia Ruxuan once again took Fulendbook plus "obtained a financing from all parties, with investors such as Russia's famous Digital Sky Technology Company, Hong Kong tycoon Li Ka-shing, Microsoft's Manhattan Morello family, and European founders' funds, etc., they invested a total of $1.2 billion at a valuation of $24 billion. Divide 5% of the equity.
At this time, Fulendbook raised about $1.5 billion in total fundraising, and the company was completely profitable in the year, which was a milestone leap even though the profits were so small that they could not be counted. However, it is predicted that the company's annual revenue will be expected to exceed US$1 billion and profit will be around US$300 million throughout 2008...... As the helmsman of such a huge empire, Xia Ruxuan was on the Forbes list of fortunes in the United States at the end of 2007.
At the end of the year, Forbes selected the ten youngest billionaires in the world, and the two founders of Fulendbook were on the list, Xia Ruxuan ranked first with a value of more than 130 billion US dollars, which also includes the vast majority of his shares in Zhutuyu e, and Mark Zuckerberg ranked second with a tooth price of more than 6 billion US dollars, which is also the real entry of these two young people into this world.
This time, the valuation of $24 billion has been carefully considered, and the elites of Wall Street have not made any strange remarks about the price this time, as if whatever is related to Fulendbook, the value will rise to an unimaginable level, and those people are used to it.
However, there is a worldwide discussion about the names Xia Ruxuan and Zuckerberg. They have become idols for young people all over the world, especially Xia Ruxuan, who is at the forefront of the world, and he has become one of the few people standing at the forefront of the world at an astonishing age like twenty-three. Tens of billions of wealth in his hands.
No one in the world can afford to underestimate this vast social empire.
At the beginning of 2008, the World Davos Economic and Qualky Forum was held in Davos, Switzerland, and Fulendbook's chalk watch was invited to participate in the annual meeting - the theme of the annual meeting was "The Power of Collaborative Innovation".
One day in early February, Xia Ruxuan and Zuckerberg sat in a luxury bus and walked through the campus of the famous National University of Navarra in Pamplona, Spain. He had just finished an hour-long lecture in the university's largest auditorium, which had only about 400 seats, but was packed with at least 600 students, and many more filled the auditorium. As the bus was about to leave, people gathered and waved like crazy to attract the attention of Xia Ruxuan and Zuckerberg. When the bus started, about five or six girls ran ahead, and when they reached the next destination, the president's office, the girls were already there, and Xia Ruxuan obediently agreed to their request for a group photo: "They allegedly wanted to put the photo on the Fulendbook, and in this spring, Zuckerberg followed Xia Ruxuan on a promotional tour of Europe."
At this point, the sharp edge is no longer the restrained and reserved teenager. It's about really growing into a mature entrepreneur. His achievements amazed and dazzled the whole of China. If the financing with a valuation of 18 billion yuan a year ago was seen as a threat by Xia Ruxuan to ask Microsoft for a sky-high price with an important contract, then not long ago, Fulendbook, which successfully obtained a billion dollars of financing with a market value of 24 billion yuan, has truly been recognized by the world. Perhaps officially from this Davos Economic and Chalk Forum, people all over the world are beginning to realize what kind of wealth this young man has in his hands. From the beginning of this year, it was destined to be a legendary year, and Xia Ruxuan began to get used to attending various business and financial forums, countless. Google threw out a blockbuster price to buy Y0utube at a price of $5 billion, but Xia Ruxuan did not let go. This video site relied on the sale of advertising, giving Xia Ruxuan hundreds of millions of dollars in profits in '07, and more to come in the following year. When he first arrived in Sweden, Xia Ruxuan stepped off the plane, but suddenly received news from Manhattan in the United States - Mr. Alan Morello, the famous capitalist in Manhattan, finally passed away. The Manhattan family mourned.
As one of the best allies of the Morero family, Xia Ruxuan handed over the next task of the European propaganda tour to Zuckerberg, and then returned to the United States alone. At the funeral, Anne was dressed in a solemn black gown, there was no sadness, "there was no despair, her face was calm, and her young assistant was standing next to her. In the next series of things to be dealt with by Anne, counting, this is her second year in the BOSS position, she is tightly holding the equity of the hottest PSFulendbook today, these shares that were exchanged for 50 million back then, now appreciate by more than 1,000 percent, becoming the most eye-catching wealth in the hands of the Morello family, which is Alan Morello with his trust in exchange for support.
When he came to this point, Xia Ruxuan looked back at everything in the past, and felt that all the things that he thought were complicated were so simple at this moment, at a private banquet held by Mr. Bill Gates, Bill Gates laughed and put his hand on A*P. o On Xia Ruxuan's shoulder, he confessed to the elites of the entire American upper circle that he admired this young man very much. Xia Ruxuan's face was calm, and he got acquainted with the capitalists of this capitalist chalk, and laid out a broader network.
At this point, who else can stop him, Xia Ruxuan sits in the high-rise building of the company's headquarters, where nearly 1,000 employees of the company gather, it is a holy place of wealth, and he is the master of it all. The office office seems to have a bit of casual taste, covering the entire wall of the TV screen is Yin Xia participating in an American talk show, she has a bit of graceful aristocratic temperament, talking and laughing with those people, and then finally humming a few songs from her first English album, just two days ago, her first English album "SummenDay" was certified as a platinum record in the United States, and sales exceeded one million copies, and this was a month after the release, and the results were gratifying.
Since Yin Xia came to the United States, "it has only been more than half a year in total, and Xia Ruxuan's strong support is indispensable for such results." Compared with the domestic entertainment industry, which pays more attention to comprehensive factors such as appearance, the European and American music scene seems to return to the basics, completely using sound to set the chalcing position.
Yin Xia has an almost perfect singing voice, especially in the six months since she came to the United States, there was not too much interference, and she devoted herself wholeheartedly to learning, relying on Xia Ruxuan's network in the United States, which has been completely rolled out, "enough for her to apprentice to the top musicians, and she has been dormant for half a year." At this time, she has become the goddess of Asian descent in the eyes of Americans.
As a result, even the Chinese-speaking concert tour, which was originally scheduled to start at the end of 2007, had to be postponed to early 2008. At the beginning of the album's production, Xia Ruxuan didn't mind some concessions from cooperation with Warner through Fulendbook, so that every song of Yin Xia's first English album was a classic in Warner's music library, Xia Ruxuan even found a few classic tracks in the music library that he had heard of in history, and after the album came out, he spared no effort to add it to Fulendbook. At the same time as Y0utube, the promotion of an album appeared on these two huge networks like two empires, and the effect was terrifying. That's why the legend of one million copies sold a month was born.
The English-language album titled "SummenDay" has been a frequent failure since its release, "As of the first week of its release, sales have exceeded 400,000 copies, and the demand in Chinese areas is even more scarce...... Her single became a staple on all radio stations around the world at the same time, and her - was watched millions of times in a few days on the home page of the U Bishan e, and the beauty of her face in the - was breathtaking, and her hopeful voice enchanted countless people.
The tour takes place in the spring, and steps into the summer.
