Wen Ming has a bet with Teresa Roy that if he fails to sell 30 million iPhones within a year and a month, then all the Facebook shares in his hands will be transferred to Teresa Roy.

And when the time comes, Wen Ming will still need to pay the balance of 8 million iPhones.

Teresa Roy paid $460 million for this bet and a year's wait. So far, the value of Facebook shares in Wen Ming's hands is only 500 million US dollars.

On the surface, Teresa Roy suffers, because $460 million in a year can't just become $500 million. You must know that Wen Ming promised a benefit of $300 million, but Teresa Roy did not choose to accept it, but chose to accept the benefit of only $40 million.

However, we should not only look at the present, but also look at it from the perspective of development.

Facebook's valuation can be said to change every month, and each month's valuation has increased by more than 5% compared to the previous month, and there is no problem at all. Please note that this growth is similar to the growth of the rollover, which is replicated in the previous month and continuously improved each month.

One year and one month after the official implementation of the bet, that is, around September 2010, how much will Facebook's valuation grow?

In fact, in the other world, at the end of 2010 and the beginning of 2011, Facebook was valued at $50 billion. According to this valuation, Wen Ming's 2.1% stake in Facebook is worth $1.05 billion.

460 million US dollars in more than a year, in exchange for 1.05 billion US dollars, this business is of course Teresa Roy made a lot of money, and Wen Ming lost a lot.

What's more, Facebook's shares will become increasingly difficult to buy, and by the time it goes public in 2012, Facebook has surpassed $100 billion in market capitalization in a short period of time, and a 2.1% stake is more than $2.1 billion.

At that time, Teresa Roy was equivalent to investing $460 million for three years, in exchange for $2.1 billion.

Therefore, capitalists are never kind, and the most striking goal in their eyes is profit.

"Facebook is growing, and there's absolutely no problem with surpassing 100 billion in market capitalization after going public," Sith said. And Teresa Roy has absolutely reason to stumble us for this goal. ”

As he spoke, the Sith sighed.

"I didn't agree to it when you wanted to bet with him, and now it seems that we are really passive."

Wen Ming didn't suspect Teresa Roy, on the contrary, the first target of his suspicion was Teresa Roy.

But because he thought that Teresa Roy did not have influence in Huaxia, he quickly removed this suspicion. But when the Sith thought that Facebook would definitely exceed $100 billion in a few years, his suspicions of Teresa Roy were even higher.

A business that can earn more than $2 billion, even if it costs $1 billion to stumble Apple, can guarantee enough benefits.

"I think he'll see the value of Apple."

Wen Ming frowned and said, "Because I once promised that if he wants, he can take a stake in Apple at any time." As long as he has how much money, he can buy as many shares as he can in Apple. ”

Sith smiled helplessly and said: "You are still too naïve, if your offer to him is not 150 billion US dollars, I believe that he will not stumble on our iPhone sales in order to take a stake in Apple, and even, help us increase iPhone sales." ”

"But you're not only proposing a $150 billion valuation, you're also limiting how much money he can buy. I would like to ask, how much money can he have? ”

Heathstone paused for a moment, but didn't get Wen Ming's answer, so he continued: "Even if he liquidates all his property, he can only liquidate about $5 billion in cash, after all, his worth is not equal to cash, and it is very difficult to set up his current situation." ”

"And how useful is it to buy only 3.3% of our company's shares for $5 billion?"

$150 billion, even a listed company is difficult to reach, let alone Apple, which has not yet been listed?

Wen Ming knew that Apple's market value could exceed $800 billion in the future, so he set so many conditions. But Teresa Roy doesn't know, even if Wen Ming tells Teresa Roy, people won't believe it.

If Teresa Roy could be sure, she would definitely sell all her possessions and invest all of them in Apple, but Theresa Roy couldn't be sure.

Wen Ming felt that his brain hurt a little, and being able to get the scientific and technological knowledge in movies in another world made him think many times that he would become a god to block and kill gods. But now, although he has made some achievements, he has encountered more and more problems.

How long will it take?

After being silent for a while, Wen Ming said: "Don't worry, if the Huaxia market really can't be sold in a short period of time, it's a big deal to give up Facebook's shares, my loss is actually not big, because our future market value of Apple will definitely be higher than Facebook." ”

Sith nodded helplessly, all they can do now is to keep up with the progress of Huaxia Certified iPhone, and even if they know who made them stumble, what can they do?

It's impossible to directly ask the killer to kill the other party like in some movie novels.

"I'm just worried that you're under too much pressure, and since you believe that the market value of our company will definitely exceed that of Facebook in the future, then, I don't have to worry too much."

After communicating with Wen Ming about some more questions, Sith left Wen Ming's office.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and Wen Ming was sitting alone in the office, not even turning on the lights.

He really doesn't have much pressure, because starting tomorrow, the iPhone will be officially released, that is, starting tomorrow, his Apple company will follow the path of Jobs's Apple.

Although the time to get on the car is a little late, it will not affect the future market value of Apple, because Apple in another world will mainly rely on the iPhone in the later stage, and the development of several other products is also a very easy thing for Wenming.

As long as there is no problem with the sales of the iPhone, he has enough funds to complete the 'resurrection' dinosaur project and save his own life.

However, even without the pressure of this, he felt very aggrieved.

Since the crossing, he has suffered many disasters, and finally improved, but he encountered a big hole, and he doesn't know who dug the hole.

"Don't let me know who you are, or ......"

Wen Ming gritted his teeth and said, "No, you must let me know who you are, otherwise, I will take revenge on many innocent people." ”

I'd rather kill the wrong one than let it go.

Wen Ming has never been a righteous gentleman, nor will he call himself the Holy Mother of Morality, on the contrary, Wen Ming in his previous life has done a lot of immoral things.

For example, when he was an intermediary, a client directly bypassed him to find the owner to close the deal after he was optimistic about the house. Thinking that he had taken the customer to see the house for a month, Wen Ming ran to block the keyhole of the door of the house that people were going to use as a new house.

It's not just blocked once, but until the other party gives the intermediary fee.

It seems that Wen Ming is not authentic, but in fact? If you don't want to pay the intermediary fee, don't look for an intermediary, clearly mark the price of what you are willing to do, and if you are suddenly reluctant, then I definitely don't want to.

(PS: It's funny now that I think about it, because it's something I've done...... Cover your face. ）

Just as Wen Ming was wondering who it was, his phone rang, and the caller was ...... Teresa Roy.
