Chapter 528: Valuation Issues

Now that Warren Buffett is here, and he's coming with his partners, it's clear that he's interested in the expedition. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info And after meeting Yang Fan, his interest increased greatly, so the second round of financing of the expedition will naturally not be a problem.

If it weren't for the balance issue, the investment of tens of millions, hundreds of millions, would be no different from Buffett and his friends.

This time, Buffett is still in his private name...... And Buffett is considering whether to cooperate more with Yang Fan. With the original influence of the expedition blog, photo sharing quickly spread across the United States, almost causing a trend among young people.

Even Britain on the other side of the Atlantic, Europe has a certain influence.

Financing is no problem, it does not mean that there are no differences in the judgment of the value of the expedition, and in this regard, Yang Fan is naturally opposed to all investors, no matter how good the personal relationship is.

Before the launch of the photo sharing function, the valuation of the expedition was more than 200 million US dollars, and after the launch of the photo sharing function, although a new valuation has not yet been formed, the benchmark in Yang Fan's heart is more than 500 million US dollars, of course, this price may be a bit high, and everyone is more willing to accept the valuation of about 400 million US dollars.

"The market value of 100 billion yuan is just a ten-year goal for us, but it is not our limit...... That's right, now the photo sharing function has quickly led to the great development of the entire expedition, but have you ever thought about it, this is not the limit at all! "Last year, it was a year of great development of digital cameras, and now everyone can see that it is only a matter of time before digital cameras replace optical cameras, but at this stage, there are more optical cameras." ”

Digital cameras have been developed since the nineties......

At the beginning, the development was slow, but after 95, it rose rapidly, in 97, it exceeded 600,000 pixels, in 98, it broke through 1 million pixels, and in 99, it exceeded 2 million pixels, and last year, that is, in 00, sales have begun to surpass the traditional optical camera.

"Everyone also understands that digital cameras are still a new thing, so according to the normal trajectory, there will be a major breakthrough in the performance of digital cameras in the future, and the price will be lower and lower, and this is a major benefit for our photo sharing. Obviously, a digital camera that can be plugged into a computer anytime, anywhere is significantly more beneficial to us than a traditional optical camera, so I say that the potential of the expedition is far greater than everyone thinks......"

Yang Fan's words made a group of people nod their heads, no one would not understand such a simple truth. Before, everyone didn't think about this aspect, or didn't want to think about it here, but now that Yang Fan has picked it out, everyone naturally can't pretend not to understand.

The greater the prospect, the greater the value of the expedition.

At the financing stage, no one will only look at the current scale of the expedition, but look at the prospects...... If you really want to stare at the current state of the expedition, maybe it's not worth mentioning at all.

Seeing that everyone agreed with this point of view, Yang Fan smiled and said that things should be gradual, since it is recognized that digital cameras replace traditional optical cameras, then Yang Fan is going to tell them about mobile phones, "Then you say that the function of digital cameras and mobile phones can be integrated?" In other words, taking pictures will also become a normal function of the phone. ”

“……”

Everyone who was doing it was stunned for a moment, but Buffett showed some thoughtful expressions.

It was only in September last year, that is, in September 00, that Sharp launched the world's first mobile phone with a built-in camera, and the pixels were only 110,000! Even now, it has not caused much sensation, and it may have something to do with people's current usage concepts.

No one would have thought that more than ten years later, even a few years later, shooting on mobile phones would almost become a matter of course.

Thinking of this, Yang Fan propped his hands on the table, looking at this room full of people who can be counted as successful people, these people are not easy to convince...... Maybe James and the others have more contact with Yang Fan, because it is easier to persuade the previous things, and those who joined later are not so easy to persuade.

To understand that successful people generally have one characteristic, firmness and persistence!

In other words, it is not easy to waver in what you think is right, and it can even be said to be stubborn. The legendary billionaire John D. Rockefeller said that only paranoia can succeed also expresses this from the side.

Yang Fan also has this kind of character......

So I know that these people are not easy to convince, but I still want to convince them, "If it becomes a natural thing for mobile phones to have a shooting function, and even mobile phones can directly access the Internet, can do photos and uploads, and even express some moods, then the expedition can represent too many things......"

Yang Fan talked eloquently about future trends.

Compared with these successful people, Yang Fan's ability to have an advantage is also about the future advantage, so Yang Fan will talk about this problem from the point of his own strength.

Similarly, Yang Fan is not afraid to expose smartphones or anything, in fact, last year Ericsson launched the smartphone R380sc, using the EPOC operating system, and NOKIA will also launch the first smartphone listed in China next year. Of course, today's smartphones are still very cumbersome because of the technical means, whether it is the model or the system, but after all, it is a smartphone......

In fact, everyone understands the future trend, but no one is as clear as Yang Fan about the future nodes and how to achieve it.

Of course, it is impossible for these people to be persuaded by Yang Fan at one time, but it is still possible to move some people. After the communication meeting, Buffett met with Yang Fan again.

"You're interested in cell phones."

Buffett's first sentence startled Yang Fan.

Don't look at what he said a lot before, but Yang Fan has looked at it many times before, and he knows what he said and what he didn't say, so where did Buffett see this?

Warren Buffett smiled slightly, "When I keep emphasizing something important, it proves that I am interested in it." ”

Yang Fan, "......"

Well, I'm still young.

Seeing Yang Fan's depressed appearance, Buffett smiled and didn't say much about it, but asked directly, "In the future you see, what should mobile phones look like?" ”

Hearing this question, Yang Fan paused for a moment, and then said slowly, "The big screen, touch control, has changed from a simple communication tool to one of the most important tools for a person." It can be used for communication, infotainment, and even many problems in food, clothing, housing and transportation. ”

Hearing Yang Fan's persuasion, even Buffett was stunned for a moment. This means that the mobile phone can realize most of the operations that are now available on the computer, and even the operations that cannot be completed on the computer now...... If that's the case, the phone is no longer a phone, but an ecosystem. (To be continued.) )
