Rebirth of the Cyber ​​Hegemony

Page 659

Although it cannot be said that they can spend trillions of dollars.

But this represents their strength.

Even Berkshire is said to be interested in Friends.com.

Maybe you don't know what kind of company Berkshire is?

But you must know Buffett.

That's right, Berkshire is the financial insurance investment company founded by Buffett.

The two guessed right.

A moment later, a Berkshire representative actually showed up.

"Damn, they really came."

Daisy called out inwardly.

The stock gods have sent representatives, and this battle must be fought.

Of course, it wasn't just Berkshire that was present, but a range of other investment firms as well.

Tiger Fund, Sequoia Capital, IDG, Deutsche Bank, Bank of America Securities...etc.

Most of them are American capital, but there are also some bigwigs from other countries.

Some are not even specialized in the investment industry themselves, such as Wal-Mart.

Do you think Wal-Mart is just a supermarket?

Indeed, their main business is indeed a supermarket.

But everyone knows that the biggest advantage of supermarkets is cash flow.

They have terrific cash flow.

And with so much cash flow, should we just deposit this money in the bank?

No, no.

Even if Wal-Mart is not a professional investment company, they will use this money to invest.

For example, now, they have taken a fancy to Friends.com.

Do you think there are no companies like Wal-Mart?

No.

In addition to Wal-Mart, you will also see some other companies that have nothing to do with investment and finance.

Like BMW, they ran over.

Yes, it is the BMW company that makes cars.

As for whether they are here to join in the fun or really want to invest, who knows.

But look at this battle.

Many business representatives felt nervous.

With so many companies, Friends.com's valuation today is not easy.

"$350 billion, or $380 billion?"

"I'm estimating $380 billion or more."

"I feel so too."

In the past, many financial giants just put 300 billion US dollars on friends online.

But seeing a series of giants appearing, no one had an offer lower than US$350 billion at this time.

And in actual operation, they feel that today's valuation may be even higher.

"US$380 billion is low, and it will definitely reach US$400 billion today."

"$400 billion, do you really dare to think? The primary market is only $400 billion. If it goes public this year, it will definitely exceed $1000. This may be the largest IPO in North America."

"So, since you can imagine that it will exceed [-] billion U.S. dollars after listing, why can't others think of it? What's more, look at who is in the previous wave?"

Pointing to the front, a representative of a financial company said in a low voice.

Following their fingers, many people looked forward.

Those who know have already named the company they represent.

"Microsoft, Microsoft is here."

"And Intel, Intel also wants to invest in Friends?"

"Well, Google is here too."

The crowd was a little excited.

They understand.

These giants in the IT industry have come, which is enough to prove the weight of Friends.com.

You know, there is a fairly common law in the financial circle.

That is among the major giants. Although they are competitors, most of them hold shares in each other.

Microsoft owns Google stock, and Google owns Intel stock.

As for why?

It's actually simple.

Everyone is so awesome, I can't kill you, and you can't kill me.

For the future and to buy insurance for ourselves, buying some stocks of each other is the most appropriate strategy.

Even if my own company goes bankrupt at that time, but I have some stocks in other companies, I can more or less make a comeback.

Chapter 749: Valuation explosion: $500 billion

The most typical example of this is Yahoo.

Although Yahoo in the previous life was beaten by a group of rising stars in the end, even so, Yahoo is still very powerful.

As for how awesome it is?

That's because they invested in Alibaba.

In addition, they own 35% of Yahoo Japan stock.

Not to mention anything else, just the addition of these two companies has a market value of more than 400 billion US dollars.

Although in the end Yahoo fell so low that it was sold for $48 billion, but this was only the sale of North American Yahoo.

As for the series of companies invested by Yahoo, they formed a new Yahoo company and still became a party force.

"Mr. Chen, most of the capital has arrived."

In the office, Wang Chang introduced the situation outside to Chen Yu.

In fact, Chen Yu has already arrived at the company, but he just won't come out for the time being.

Things are looking good now.

Sure enough, Friends.com has attracted countless capitals and giants from all over the world.

Especially seeing Berkshire, Microsoft, Intel...their arrival, Chen Yu knows that the valuation of Friends.com is absolutely impossible to be low this time.Maybe, if one is not good, it can surprise Chen Yu.

"Okay, let's go then."

Without asking them to wait any longer, Chen Yu came to the meeting room of Youyou.com.

This conference room was not originally this big.

But for this financing, the entire meeting room was temporarily requisitioned from the original hall.

But even so, with so much capital gathered together, it still seemed a bit crowded.

However, this is what Chen Yu wanted.

"Welcome to Friends.com, I'm Chen Yu."

Facing the crowd, Chen Yu smiled and introduced to everyone.

Many people in the audience knew about Chen Yu.

Even if you don't know, you have checked the information before investing in Friends.com.

Although Friends.com was incorporated in North America, from the perspective of financial relationship, it is a subsidiary of Huanyu Technology.

Moreover, Huanyu Technology has done a very good job in the Internet in China.

Unexpectedly, miracles are also being performed in North America.

The point is, this guy is still very young.

But they are no longer surprised by it.

The Internet is a place full of legends, and many Internet tycoons were very young when they became famous.

Yahoo's Jerry Yang, Facebook's Zach.

Ok.

Facebook is estimated to be hanged by Friends.com in the future.

"I believe everyone already understands the general situation of our friend.com, so I won't say more. At present, our friend.com will take out 40% of the shares for financing. Of course, I know that such a large number of shares cannot be acquired by one company. Therefore, before this round of financing, I plan to find a lead investor. The lead investor can monopolize 10% of the shares, and the remaining 30% of the shares will be distributed according to the specific circumstances. But the remaining shares, any single entity institutional capital You can only enjoy a maximum of 5 points of financing power."

Friends.com had a financing before.

That round of financing was considered an angel round.

In fact, Friends.com was not short of money for the financing, as for the financing, it was to get the support of Bain Capital.

Later, the market value of Friends.com continued to explode, and Chen Yu began to repurchase the shares of Bain Capital.

From then on, Chen Yu made a sum of money, and Bain Capital also made a lot of money.

But looking at it now, the representative of Bain Capital has been hiding in a corner and crying secretly.

They had just sold the shares of Youyou.com back to Universal Technology, but they wanted to get them back.

If it's a normal business, it's fine.

Lose some at most.

But at this time, if they really want to get back the original shares held by Bain Capital, they will spend at least several billion more.

And it's dollars.

"Mr. Chen, Mogen is very interested in Friends.com, and we are willing to be the lead investor."

Friends.com has a valuation of tens of billions of dollars, and there are so many powerful bigwigs. Everyone knows that it is impossible for a company to win.

But since it cannot be won, everyone hopes to have the most shares.

undoubtedly.

If they can become the lead investor of Friends.com, they can take up to 10% of the shares.

Therefore, after Chen Yu finished speaking, Daisy was the first to speak.

"Wait, we Goldman Sachs are also willing to be the lead investor."

After Daisy finished speaking, Mi Jie, the president of the investment department of Goldman Sachs, said the same thing, not to be outdone.

"Mijie, do you want to fight with us?"

"It's not that I want to compete with you, but that everyone wants to compete with you."

Mijie spread his hands.

He knew the purpose of Chen Yu calling everyone over today.

It's nothing more than letting everyone fight.

Although all the capital saw what Chen Yu meant, who was willing to back down?

If you shrink back, you will lose the opportunity to invest in Moments.
