"I also want to talk to you about InstagramArm."

The matter of dinosaur blood samples has been completely negotiated, and the specific details naturally cannot be discussed by two bosses, one large and one small. Moreover, now is not a good time to talk about the details, and it is necessary to wait for Benjamin and Cui Chuanming to list all the equipment, manpower, and other needs needed for the research before they can decide how to invest.

"Are you interested in Instagram, too?"

Wen Ming laughed, of course he knew that Teresa had an investment company under her name, and he had invested in many Internet companies.

Teresa Roy also laughed and said, "Like you just said, I can make money, and not because of your failures. ”

Wen Ming sighed in his heart, he regarded Teresa Roy as a capitalist who wanted to fight the autumn wind, and he felt that Teresa Roy wanted to use dinosaur blood samples to coerce him to sell part of his ownership of Instagram at a low price.

However, Wen Ming has already decided to establish the 'resurrection' dinosaur project even if he gives up some of his interests. Life is more important than money.

It's hard to be psychologically uncomfortable, but you have to keep smiling.

Wen Ming smiled: "How much do you think Instagram is worth now?" ”

Giving up part of the benefits does not mean giving up all the benefits, Wen Ming only asked Instagramarm, not how much his Apple is worth now.

Teresa Roy smiled knowingly, "I think it's worth $430 million." ”

Hearing this offer, Wen Ming breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, although this offer was different from the final transaction price of Instagram in his previous life, it almost met his expectations. Because in the previous life, when Facebook acquired Instagram, there was a certain premium. Moreover, there is still a certain gap between the current Instagram and the number of users it had when it was acquired by Facebook in the previous life.

What's more, Tomding's American Century Investment Company has a valuation of $300 million on Instagram. Of course, it is impossible for Tomding to get the most real valuation, that is, the valuation of Instagram Arm by Century Investment Company is also more than $300 million, but it will not reach the $400 million that Tomding said when the number of registered users reaches the level of 10 million.

"I think in a week, it's worth 600 million dollars."

Wen Ming tentatively put forward his own conditions, he doesn't want to offend Teresa Roy now, if he really can't get along, it's a big deal to make compromises for the time being, and then take revenge later.

Teresa Roy understands what Wen Ming means, it is nothing more than that Wen Ming is not short of money to develop Instagram now, and he is completely sure that in a week, the number of registered users of Instagram will reach a new level.

"If you accept my offer, then tomorrow the valuation of Instagram will reach $600 million."

Valuation is a strange thing, and no one can be sure how much it will be worth. But one thing is certain, the more people who think it's valuable, the more valuable it is, and the more valuable it is, the more people will find it valuable.

Just like the Internet bubble in the past, a website with only tens of thousands of daily visits can also be speculated on a valuation of tens of millions.

If Wen Ming accepts Teresa Roy's offer now, then it is equivalent to Teresa Roy, a billionaire at the level of tens of billions, who thinks that Instagarm is worth more money. The purpose of investing in companies is to make money, they don't run a company, they buy when the company is low and sell it when it is high.

To put it simply, the value of a company or product that you buy for $430 million is definitely more than $430 million.

Wen Ming probably understood Teresa Roy's thoughts, and he didn't want to use a dinosaur blood sample to kill him. Instead, they want to deepen their cooperation with each other, and by the way, carry out some capital operations on Instagram, so that both parties can make money.

Why not do it?

Wen Ming, who was jealous of the belly of a gentleman with a villain's heart, did not feel the slightest shame, and said his conditions: "With a valuation of 500 million US dollars, I can sell 10% of the equity." ”

Teresa Roy smiled: "If it's Apple's equity, I can sign a contract with you right now." ”

Wen Ming shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, but Instagram has been split off from Apple by me. ”

In fact, splitting Instagram was just an idea for Wen Ming, and he hadn't had time to implement it yet. Apple's future naturally depends on the products that Apple should have, such as Instagram and "Plants vs. Zombies", which only appear for the money needed to develop Apple.

However, when you should lie, you have to lie, Teresa Roy did not take advantage of others, it does not mean that Wen Ming will selflessly give up most of the profits.

You respect me by a foot, and I return you by a foot and a half.

Want me to do it again?

Then it's time to talk about feelings.

Teresa Roy naturally knew that Instagram had not been spun off from Apple, but he did not debunk Wen Ming's lies either. As long as the number of registered users on instagarm is true, as long as the number of pictures and likes shared on instagarm every day is true, the rest does not matter.

"Leave the specific issues to a more suitable person to discuss."

Teresa Roy laughed: "But I hope that the contract can be finalized within three days. ”

The difference between $430 million and $500 million, whether 10% of the equity is more or less, these questions are naturally impossible for Teresa to bargain with Wen Ming. He asked for the contract to be finalized within three days, naturally not wanting the number of Instagram users to rise again after a long time.

A large number of users is a good thing, but it will have to wait for Teresa to take some ownership of Instagram before the number of users can continue to grow. Otherwise, he will earn less money.

Wen Ming is also happy to have Teresa Roy participate now, because this means that Instagram will definitely sell for a higher price than in the previous life.

If it can reach $1 billion, then no matter how much money Teresa Roy invests, it is equivalent to 100% of the net profit obtained. Moreover, the turnover cycle of funds is not too long.

And Teresa Roy can make money, Wen Ming will naturally be able to make more money. What's more, with Teresa Roy's involvement, InstagramArm will definitely sell better.

"No problem."

The two bosses set the tone, and naturally someone helped them solve the rest of the problems, the only difference was that Teresa Roy had a lot of professionals under him, while Wen Ming had only Sith under him who could handle this kind of thing.

It seems that it is really time to recruit talent......

After Wen Ming thought that the Sith should not be angry, he happily accepted Teresa Roy's invitation to have lunch with him.

After getting the hotel car back, Teresa Roy arranged for an extended limousine to take the three of them to the restaurant, and along the way, Benjamin and Cui Chuanming talked about the project of "resurrecting" the dinosaurs.

Up to now, Wen Ming can also reveal some technical secrets relatively, of course, it will not involve specific 'resurrection' technology. After all, the two sides have not officially signed a contract, and the dinosaur blood sample is still in Teresa Roy's.

Rao is Wen Ming concealed a lot of key technologies, which also shocked Benjamin and Cui Chuanming, and now, Cui Chuanming's knowledge reserve is a little insufficient, and it is difficult to plug in the conversation between Wen Ming and Benjamin.

"Now, I'm sure you're a true genius."

Teresa Roy was also in the car and praised it unabashedly.

Benjamin said: "Wen Ming, you must participate in this research, I believe that with your participation, the success rate of our project will definitely increase a lot." ”

Wen Ming smiled: "That's why I asked for absolute dominance, because I had done a lot of homework before. ”

Cui Chuanming said with some envy: "You can know so much by doing your homework, you should really choose a biology major at that time, maybe, you can study how to treat ......"

Benjamin glared at Cui Chuanming, letting Cui Chuanming's words get stuck in his throat.

Wen Ming said indifferently: "If it weren't for cancer, I think many things would only be regarded as an idea by me, rather than practiced." ”

Teresa applauded and said, "The difference between genius and mediocrity is that genius dares to put ideas into practice. ”
