Chapter 643: Initiation of the Global Program
$100 million.
The amount of $100 million once again caused a sensation throughout the United States.
This is definitely not a local tyrant.
Definitely not.
The media, which has been watching Facebook's equity transactions throughout the process, have made such a voice.
Many people have always thought that local tyrants are rich.
Yes, that's right, local tyrants are indeed richer than ordinary people, and they are richer than ordinary rich people.
However, the reason why a local tyrant is called a local tyrant is that he is only for ordinary people.
For those super-rich people, for those financial companies for investment purposes, local tyrants are really nothing in their eyes.
The amount of 100 million US dollars is not amazing, but the amount of 100 million US dollars is definitely not something that local tyrants can afford.
We can conclude that this time the transaction is definitely some institutional investors, and even some super financial companies.
Such a piece of news has aroused a lot of interest, especially those investment companies.
Previously, they had also watched Facebook, and they had always wanted to invest in Facebook.
It's just that when it was rumored that Facebook offered 100 billion, almost all investors were scared away.
Just kidding, 100 billion.
Even if there are some supercarrier companies, they are not worth 100 billion.
You know, this is the US dollar, not the yen, and not the Vietnamese dollar.
Therefore, these investment institutions have not been ready to make a move. Even if Facebook launched an innovative Internet financing channel, they did not plan to make a move. However, then, when they didn't make a move, Facebook's equity became more and more popular. At first, it was just some small members on Facebook every day who were supporting, and they didn't support much, they all bought 10 shares and 8 shares, and the most was only 100,000 shares...... However, next, these crazy crowds quickly attracted the attention of some Middle Eastern tycoons, and the list of 1 million shares blinded their eyes.
At this moment, there is already some swaying in their hearts.
Could it be that Facebook is worth $100 billion.
Could it be that Facebook users are the ones who know Facebook best?
Still, they shook their heads.
Although they also think that Facebook is good, after all, Facebook is just a website.
Moreover, he doesn't have much technology for this website, which is far worse than Yahoo and Google.
He relied on an idea that made it popular throughout the United States.
If someone else had been modeled, perhaps, Facebook would not have been able to maintain its current position.
It's just that the next 10 million orders, that is, the super large orders of 100 million US dollars, once again shattered their confidence.
Unlike these media, they are more keenly aware that this is not an ordinary list.
They are almost certain that this is not an order placed by ordinary people, this is an institutional investor.
In other words, investment companies that have not made a move before finally have some unbearable feelings.
Check, who is it?
Which one bought it.
Tiger Fund, Quantum Fund, IDG, Hongbin Capital, McZelen Fund Company...... These are all global super fund companies, and where they set their sights, miracles will be born.
As a result, this investigation found out that there was a problem.
They found out who shot it this time.
The company is called Berkshire, and it's Warren Buffett who runs Berkshire.
"I rely on ......"
Almost all fund house managers, in their hearts, have a middle finger towards Buffett.
"His meow Buffett is too ****."
"Warren Buffett, I hate you."
"Warren Buffett, you go die."
As the first Buffett to publicly question Facebook's $100 billion valuation is too high, the outside world has always regarded Buffett's questioning as an agreement not to invest in Facebook.
How else to say this, Buffett has openly questioned, do you still want to invest.
Although even if you think Buffett is wrong, after all, among these fund companies, there are some people who are not necessarily less well-known than Buffett, such as Soros, a genius who sniped the British pound and launched the financial turmoil in Southeast Asia, his investment philosophy is completely opposite to Buffett. It's just that even if he thinks Buffett is wrong, Buffett's fame is too big. Often, he questioned which companies and which companies would not be watched in the future.
Just like Warren Buffett's remarks that he questioned the price of airline stocks too high and said that he would never buy airline stocks for the rest of his life, has been hanging over airlines. Every time an airline's stock price rises to a certain height, it often plummets for no apparent reason.
The same is true for Facebook now.
Warren Buffett is not optimistic, even if you are optimistic, you dare not invest.
However, what they couldn't have imagined was this. It was Warren Buffett, who was the first to publicly question Facebook's valuation, and the first guy to buy Buffett's shares.
In an instant, everyone understood.
What else is there to say about this?
Damn, this is Warren Buffett's plan.
He has long been optimistic about Facebook, but he is afraid that others will fight with him, so he deliberately said that he is not optimistic.
As a result, when everyone stood and watched the play without making a move, he actually made a move.
Isn't this a trick on them?
didn't say it, now that Buffett has made a move, what worries do you have now.
If you don't make a move, it's too late.
16 billion shares have been sold before, and there are more than 30 billion left in the end.
With Buffett in charge of Berkshire's trillions of funds, if he waits a little longer, he may have to rob all the equity behind.
In an instant, these fund companies that had been optimistic but had not made a move also rushed in.
10,000,000 shares.
30,000,000 shares.
50,000,000 shares.
100,000,000 shares.
Hmph, you can order a large sum, can't I?
You can buy 10 million shares, don't I have any money?
Berkshire has a lot of money at its disposal, but we may not be afraid of you.
As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, you know whether it is powerful or not.
What 100,000 shares before, 1 million shares, is completely a piece of cake.
The real feast is them.
They are the main force of the world economy, and they are the direction of the flow of world capital.
So far, let alone 1 million shares, even if it is 10 million shares, the investment amount of 100 million US dollars is not necessarily very large. If you don't see the list of 100 million shares, I'm afraid that this list is directly larger than the market value of a listed company. However, such a list is only one of many hundreds of millions of lists.
"Father, no, Facebook stocks are about to be robbed."
Howard anxiously reported to Buffett.
"What, snatch the light?"
Warren Buffett felt incredible.
"How is this possible, they have $50 billion in financing."
"Yes, father, other Tiger Fund, Quantum Fund, Hongbin Capital, and some foreign giant investment companies, they are all here."
"These guys, are they really sure that Facebook is worth 100 billion?"
Warren Buffett was surprised.
It's just that when looking at the little equity left in Facebook, Buffett didn't hesitate, "Howard, go all out to buy the last Facebook stock, how much can you grab." ”
"Yes."
After receiving the order, Howard immediately dispatched more than 20 working groups to grab Facebook shares with all their might.
10,000,000 shares.
100,000,000 shares.
100,000,000 shares.
A single list, as if it was not money, but just a number, was constantly typed out.
At the same time, some institutions on the other side that are also rushing to buy Facebook, when they found out that Buffett's side made a move again, they scolded Buffett in their hearts. At the same time, they also called each other, "Everyone, this guy Buffett has made another move, don't give him much chance, we will directly snatch the remaining equity." ”
Compared with these institutions, the fight on the other side is equally fierce.
I don't know who spread the news that Buffett has bought Facebook.
Those people who regard Buffett as a god are even more excited and can't help themselves.
Like these super financial investment institutions, they are also frantically competing for the remaining equity.
Brothers, buy it.
Warren Buffett has bought it all, you still don't buy it, wait to be a poor ghost.
I have bought 10,000 shares and I am ready to sell my house and buy another 30,000 shares.
If you don't buy it, you won't have the last chance.
Institutions, local tyrants, middle class, ordinary people, staged a fierce battle for equity.
This fight lasted for a week.
In the end, 50% of Facebook's shares were sold out.
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Investment Company originally wanted to buy 30% of the shares, but it was later robbed by these crazy investment companies and only bought 15%, which made Buffett very angry.
However, what is more annoyed than Buffett is some friends who have not bought Facebook.
They had an idea to buy it before.
It's just that they had some worries before, is this kind of equity transaction safe?
What if I buy it myself and no one buys it in the future?
However, when they think about it, they are ready to buy. A Facebook announcement told them that 50% of Facebook's shares had been sold. The other 50% of the shares, sorry, belong to the founder, and he can't sell them again.
What they regret even more is that after the 50 billion shares of Facebook were sold, someone had already made a bid to buy the original shares of Facebook at $11 per share.
This is a naked price increase, just as soon as it is sold out, it has risen by 10%.
In another year, it will rise to 100%.
Regret, sadness, depression, anger...... and so on, all come.
In particular, after knowing that Buffett also bought Facebook shares, they were even more uncomfortable.
According to historical records, as long as Buffett buys stocks, the future will definitely rise sharply.
The light increase is one or two times, and the heavy increase is 10 times.
However, I didn't cherish such a good opportunity.
……
"Boss, 5 billion shares of our Facebook stock have been fully sold. In addition to the top ten investment companies, there are also nearly 50 million ordinary accounts, that is, our members. ”
Mark excitedly handed a form to Zhang Ning.
He never imagined that one day Facebook would be treated like these mega companies.
But today, he really experienced it.
Zhang Ning sat at his desk, picked up the information, and stared at the number of 50 million ordinary accounts.
50 million ordinary accounts refer to 50 million ordinary people's accounts.
In other words, nearly 50 million Americans have bought their Facebook shares.
50 million.
One-sixth of the total population of the United States represents the interests of one-sixth of the general population of the United States.
With these 50 million shares, the future of Facebook in the United States is really going sideways.
Putting the number down heavily, Zhang Ning slapped the table, "Mark, start the global plan immediately." ”
