"Mr. Wen Ming, I'm really sorry."

When Wen Ming heard that Mark Zuckerberg, a world-class billionaire who would be envied by countless people in the future, and a man who controlled a social empire like Facebook with more than 2 billion users worldwide, so respectfully called himself Mr. Wen Ming and apologized, all kinds of unpleasant thoughts came to him.

"Pony, oh no, Mark."

Wen Ming coughed dryly and said: "Doing business is such a thing, naturally you and I need to be willing, although we have reached an agreement before, and agreed on half a year of financing. However, Facebook is not your own, so if things change, you can't be blamed. ”

Mark Zuckerberg heard Wen Ming's comfort but was still very guilty, it stands to reason that he became famous many years earlier than Wen Ming. Moreover, the first pot of gold that Wen Ming really got, the first pot of gold that reached the $1 billion level, was obtained from Mark Zuckerberg.

At the beginning, Wenming released ins, a mobile social software, and was successfully favored by Teresa Roy and Facebook, and the final transaction amount was as high as 1 billion US dollars. That includes, of course, the 2.1 percent stake in Facebook that Wen Ming holds.

It was from that time that Wen Ming was truly known to the world. After all, a billion-dollar billionaire at the age of 19 can be famous in any country.

What's more, Wenming is called Wenming? Of course, this kind of coincidence is incomprehensible to foreigners.

But after a year, from July 2009 to May 2010, Mark Zuckerberg and Wen Ming's social status and wealth level have undergone earth-shaking changes.

At this time, Facebook's valuation is still only $40 billion, which is not much different from the previous financing valuation that Mark Zuckerberg and Wen Ming talked about. Not only because the development of Facebook during this period of time has fallen into a bottleneck, but also because when Mark Zuckerberg made an offer to Wenming, there was a premium in it.

What about the companies controlled by Wenming?

It is also not listed, but Tesla's valuation has exceeded $50 billion, because compared to Facebook, which currently has an annual revenue of only more than a billion US dollars, Tesla's 6,000 Tesla Models-S delivered in two months, based on the average price of $100,000 per unit, has generated revenue of $600 million, which is only two months.

What's more, the total number of orders for the Models-S in two months has already reached 25,000 units, if all of them can be delivered. Then, it can generate $2.5 billion in revenue.

How can there be no gap between a company with a revenue of $2.5 billion in two months and a company with a revenue of only a billion dollars a year?

Although Facebook's operating costs are very low, Tesla's net profit margin is also very high, with an average net profit margin of 25%, which is equivalent to more than $625 million of the $2.5 billion in revenue.

This is what supports Tesla's valuation of more than $50 billion.

Of course, Mark Zuckerberg can't show such an attitude towards Wenming because of the $10 billion valuation gap. Although his stake in Facebook is not the same as Wenming's stake in Tesla.

The real reason for Mark Zuckerberg's attitude is another company controlled by Wen Ming - Apple.

A empire-level enterprise with a valuation of $150 billion, but has not yet been listed, and is controlled by Wenming more than 97% of the shares.

It is difficult for people who consider themselves geniuses to be blown away by the achievements of others. However, once they are shocked, then they will be completely convinced. Mark Zuckerberg at the moment is in this state.

"Mr. Wen Ming."

Mark Zuckerberg continued to say guiltily on the phone: "I have heard about Tesla's latest sales strategy, and I know that it was all my mistake, which led you to use this method to make Tesla's corporate credibility decline." Believe me, Mr. Wen Ming, I will definitely have an explanation for this matter. ”

Hand over?

Wen Ming laughed, the previous agreement between him and Mark Zuckerberg was that Wen Ming would provide $5 billion in cash within half a year. Then, acquire a stake in Facebook at a valuation of $40 billion.

But now there is still a month or two in half a year, but Mark Zuckerberg found Wen Ming because of some interest disputes within Facebook and asked for an early payment of $5 billion.

$5 billion is not a small amount, and no one can say that they can take it out. Teresa Roy, who is worth tens of billions of dollars, has spent almost half a year in order to take $5 billion to invest in Apple, and has not been able to settle it all until now.

What's more, is it the 'richest man in the future world' who has no company listed under Wen Ming's name?

"Mark, I think the two of us should be able to build a friendship that is more than what we have behind. Therefore, there is no need to say anything about this kind of thing. ”

Wen Ming said into the phone: "Besides, more than a month earlier or more than a month late, although it is a little difficult for me, it is not particularly difficult. Believe me, I'll be in front of you with $5 billion before Morgan Stanley's internal resolution is completed. ”

In the thousand thanks of Mark Zaberg, Wen Ming hung up the phone with a calm face.

To be honest, such a change in Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook is also a bit tricky for Wen Ming. He has $5 billion, and in fact, two months ago, he had more than $6.2 billion in cash at his disposal.

According to Cage's calculations at the time, two months later, he has been able to use $10.7 billion.

But just as there has been a change on Facebook, the amount of funds that Wen Ming can control has also changed.

Originally, he planned to buy the funds of the two research institutes, but because of the black and Cage's adventures, he successfully avoided a large amount of capital investment. But he saved money in this area, but he spent money in other things.

The purchase of Teresa Roy's yacht and the acquisition of a defence contractor company by Teresa Roy resulted in the subsequent funding of Teresa Roy not being available in time.

Wen Ming didn't care about this, and the impact on him was only the cash he could control, which was reduced from $10.7 billion to $8.7 billion.

(PS: The money that Teresa Roy lent to Wen Ming before, because it has not yet been a year, so Wen Ming does not need to pay it back, and it is impossible to pay interest.) ）

It stands to reason that $8.7 billion is definitely enough to invest in Facebook, and there will be $3.7 billion left. But the surprise is that Wen Ming is preparing to buy Nokia's shares, and the first step is to buy the shares of the three Nokia shareholders who were killed by him and Aaron Martin.

According to Cage's recent work, it is known that the three Nokia shareholders occupy a total of 12% of Nokia's shares, which is definitely the real majority shareholder. According to Nokia's current valuation of $80 billion, a 12% stake would require $9.6 billion.

And that's not counting the premium that could come during the acquisition process.

Even though the $9.6 billion cannot be paid off all at once, because Cage is only at the point of dissolving the negotiations. But you have to keep billions of dollars in reserve, right? Otherwise, if Cage negotiates, then Wen Ming has no money in his hand, and he will buy a yarn.

At this time, Mark Zuckerberg said that other shareholders within Facebook were demanding that Facebook go public as soon as possible. Either by raising $5 billion in development funds from the stock market through an IPO for the first time, or by bringing a consortium like Morgan Stanley on Facebook.

Because of the strong rise of Wenming, the launch of the iPhone and iPad can be said to have opened the market of smart personal digital devices in advance, which made Facebook's shareholders red-eyed. They have more than a billion global users, but they can only make money by selling ads, which is certainly not suitable for this kind of business.

Therefore, they are very desperate to get a wealth of $5 billion, some shareholders are for personal cash, and some shareholders are so that Facebook can have money to develop hardware products.

All in all, Wen Ming now has a competitor, so he must come up with $5 billion to appear in front of Mark Zuckerberg as soon as possible. Then, get a 12.5% stake in Facebook.

Combined with his previous 2.1% stake in Facebook, he would own 14.6% of Facebook.

How much is that?

Wen Ming thought of the future when Facebook's market value exceeded $500 billion, 14.6% would be $73 billion.

Therefore, Wen Ming must scrape together money.

"I just don't know how many Models-S Cage has sold?"
