Chapter 662: Chosr girl and venture capital
Chosegirl has become one of the most followed and popular sites in the United States today.
After more than a month, Chosegirl, which has expanded its business to eighteen states, has more than 1 million group purchase coupons for restaurants every day, 15 million fixed access IPs, and more than 100 million clicks!
Although there is no explosive growth, this value is very stable, never big ups and downs, but continues to grow steadily, which is very praised by many professionals.
And there are a total of 50 states in the United States, and now Chosegirl has not even developed half of them, and this cautious attitude has shown everyone that they are down-to-earth.
The 18 state food forums have become a paradise for food lovers, with millions of people regularly logging in to discuss and share every day, and there are no more than tens of thousands of discussion posts.
In this hot situation, advertisers came to the door waving banknotes, but Tang Mingxiang gritted his teeth and rejected their high-value contracts.
Last month, due to aggressive hiring, bandwidth, and server spending, it increased again...... For other reasons, Chosegirl's loss reached $15 million, which is still only 18 states, and if the business expands to the whole of the United States, it is possible to lose $40 million to $50 million per month.
But if it does get to that point, Chosegirl will definitely be ten times more influential than it is now!
At that time, if you sign an advertiser, not only will the grade be increased, but the advertising cost will also be increased several times.
Take a look at the current advertisers, one by one, they want to sign a contract for a few years with a few millions, is Tang Mingxiang really a fool?
Advertisers are easy to dismiss, but then another group of customers. It made the bright and moving girl hesitate.
A total of 12 well-known venture capital companies in Europe and the United States came to visit Tang Mingxiang, and they all made requests to invest in Chosegirl.
At first, Tang Mingxiang directly refused, what are you kidding, you want to occupy 20% of the shares for 100 million US dollars, do you think your aunt is called Hanako?
But with her resolute refusal. The venture capital companies that came later became more and more big, and the prices they gave were getting higher and higher.
Especially for Green Pine Capital and Bayeux Ventures, Green Pine Capital gave an ultra-high price of 500 million 20%, or 1 billion 30%; Bayeux Ventures was a little gentler, they gave $500 million, only 15% of the shares, but Tang Mingxiang needed to promise that if Chosegirl's development did not meet expectations after half a year. You have to sell them 15% of the shares at the same price.
Green Pine Capital and Bayeux Ventures, the most well-known venture capital firms in the United States and Europe, respectively, have different approaches, but basically the valuation of Chosegirl is still very high, basically between $2.5 billion and $3.5 billion, far exceeding the $2 billion price of YOUTUBE, which was acquired by Google this month.
Of course, they did not make random offers, but a company that is full of growth, profitable and expected, and closely related to people's lives. DEFINITELY MORE THAN PURE ENTERTAINMENT, YOUTUBE HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIND A PROFIT GROWTH POINT FOR A LONG TIME. IT IS MUCH MORE REASSURING FOR INVESTORS -- THE DAYS WHEN YAHOO, CISCO, AND SO ON BURNED MONEY ARE STILL VIVID, AND THE NETWORK COMPANIES THAT MAKE MONEY JUST BY VIRTUE OF THEIR CONCEPTS HAVE TAUGHT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE A LESSON?
With just over 200 million yuan invested, Chosegirl is now worth about $3 billion, which translates to 23 billion RMB. It's more profitable than her husband selling fairy mobile phones!
So the bright and touching girl was a little moved, thinking that even if she didn't sell the company, it seemed to be a good idea to accept $500 million in venture capital, at least this would make Chosegirl's funds more sufficient. The development is more stable and rapid.
However, when he called Xiao Qi, the teenager did not approve of Xiao Meiji's wife's idea.
He told Tang Mingxiang that as long as he insisted on it for another three months, he didn't have to wait until the national layout was completed, and the value of Chosegirl would definitely be higher, and it would not be too late to discuss venture capital shares.
According to the current expansion rate, Tang Mingxiang calculated his own funds, and there was no way to support it for another three months, and I am afraid that several venture capital companies also knew about it, so they rushed to the front to occupy a little more benefits.
The little beauty, who was unwilling to rely on her husband, finally didn't insist so much at the moment, borrowed $200 million from Mingxiang Holdings, and enriched her small treasury, but also rejected Green Pine Capital and Bayeux Venture Capital again.
Compared with the scenery of Chosegirl, the opening of Weibo is absolutely unambiguous.
As early as the end of October, the Weibo website has begun to publicize, and the things that will be about which super-first-class stars will enter the Weibo website have also been disclosed one after another.
I heard that these unattainable big stars will post a few Weibo posts almost every day, telling everyone what they are doing now, which immediately attracted a large number of star chasers.
However, if you don't log in to the Weibo website to register an account, you can't see it, so millions of young people can only become members of the Weibo website.
On the day the website was officially launched on November 3, sure enough, more than 20 super-first-class stars and more than 30 popular stars all entered the Weibo website, not only wrote congratulatory messages, but also showed off themselves.
"Filming in Hong Kong today, I was almost blocked by enthusiastic fans" - Dehua.
"The weather in the UK today is so unpleasant, cold and foggy, I really hope to go back to Joan Island to bask in the sun!" - Zhang Manyu.
"I was so happy yesterday~~ But what is the specific reason...... Confidentiality~~" - Qiao Guoer.
“……”
A group of celebrities sent their thoughts out, and everyone watched it with relish, and they clicked "Follow" their favorite stars, and the most popular was Qiao Guoer, who won the attention of 510,000 fans on the same day.
Now that you have entered the Weibo website, you have also begun to understand the content and usage of the Weibo website.
After more than two weeks of exploration, many white-collar workers have also begun to pay attention to their friends, leaving messages on Weibo, replying, etc., although the timeliness is not too timely, but caring about friends all day long, complaining and so on, it is quite in line with their mentality of liking to explore new things.
In 20 days, the number of registered users reached 5 million, and the average number of online users exceeded 1 million per day. (To be continued......)
