My Age of Investment

"If anyone can make a bid, I'm sure I'll sell it."

Yang Jieyuan shrugged, "But on this earth, it seems that few people and companies can afford it."

Xia Jingxing felt that the other party was very pretentious.

But right now it's not really compelling.

Yahoo has a market value of 100 billion US dollars and is the world's largest Internet company!

This position remained unchanged from 2000 to 2006.

"More than 600 million US dollars, buying a website with only 14 million users, I believe this is very sincere."

Xia Jingxing nodded, the price was actually not low.

In 2006 in the original time and space, Yahoo gave Xiaomazi a $1 billion offer.

Xiao Mazi was tempted at the time, and when he was about to sign, there was a small problem with Facebook, and users resisted the new feature.

So Yahoo thought it was an opportunity and asked to lower the offer to $8.5 billion. Xiao Mazi was very upset and did not agree.

After that, Facebook got better and better, and Yahoo made a higher price, but Mazi ignored them.

"Think about it, even if Facebook is successfully listed in the future, it may not be able to reach this market value."

Yang Jieyuan felt that more than 600 million US dollars was already the limit, and even if Yahoo was rich, it could not waste it.

Originally, Facebook's valuation of more than 500 million US dollars was a bit inflated. Now Yahoo has given another 20 premium. If it is raised again, shareholders will be unhappy again.

Xia Jingxing shook his head, "Don't think about it, I will definitely let Facebook go public independently. This company carries too many dreams for me."

Yang Jieyuan refused repeatedly, but he was not particularly angry, and asked with a smile: "If Yahoo launches its own social networking site, are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid!"

Xia Jingxing spread his hands, "How many Internet companies can't get the chance to compete with the world's largest Internet company!"

"Haha~"

Yang Jieyuan laughed, "Don't think I'm joking, I'm serious."

"It's only this month that Yahoo and Google canceled the cooperation agreement?"

Xia Jingxing said with a smile, "Compared to a trivial social networking site, I believe that Google is Yahoo's biggest concern. The huge advertising market behind the search engine is what Yahoo should really pay attention to."

Yang Jieyuan put away his smile, "Google is indeed a tough opponent, we once had the opportunity to acquire it, but unfortunately we missed it.

Now we can only compete with them.

However, while dealing with them, Yahoo has another hand to do social networking, which is not difficult for us to do. "

Xia Jingxing nodded, "I admit that Yahoo has this capability, but dividing troops to fight has always been a taboo in the military."

Yang Zhiyuan did not speak, and after thinking for a while, he said, "You have many competitors on the social track, and each of them is eyeing your market share.

At the same time, you are still a Chinese national. Even if Facebook develops smoothly in the future, it is likely to attract investigation and intervention by the federal government.

Now sell Facebook to Yahoo, and you return to China with hundreds of millions of dollars, and you are definitely the richest bunch. "

"An Xin to be a rich man?"

Xia Jingxing laughed dumbly, "What's the point of that? Apart from money, I have nothing."

Yang Zhiyuan waved his hand, "No no no, Darren, you misunderstood me!

I'm not saying that after you sell Facebook, you can't start a business again.

We will sign a non-compete agreement with you, but as long as you stand, Yahoo won't restrict you.

Even if you want to start a second business, I can personally invest in you.

You are excellent, one of the best young people I have ever met.

There are still many possibilities in your future, don't set limits for yourself. "

Xia Jingxing did not expect that Yang Jieyuan, who looked like a gentle person, could speak like this.

"Sorry, I'm not selling Facebook."

Yang Zhiyuan stared into Xia Jingxing's eyes and said indifferently, "Da Lun, there seem to be many opportunities in one's life.

But the real catch is just one or two times.

If you can't catch it, you may never have it again in your life. "

"If I can't catch it, I will swallow this evil fruit myself."

Xia Jingxing's expression was serious and his attitude was decisive.

Yang Zhiyuan stopped persuading him, "Okay, I respect your choice."

Then, the two stopped talking, perhaps both calming down.

For a while, the atmosphere in the room was a little awkward.

Yang Jieyuan took the initiative to break the peace, "Anyway, no matter what choice you make, you and I are still friends.

If you are in the US and need help, feel free to contact me! "

Seeing the sincerity on Yang Zhiyuan's face, Xia Jingxing knew that the other party was not polite.

Yang Jieyuan's reputation is very good, everyone's evaluation of him is gentle, even "soft".

"Yahoo China Plus One Billion Dollars in Cash" invested in Ali. Although it took away 40 shares of Ali, it gave Ali a great help.

Seven years later, Boss Ma and SoftBank formed a consortium to buy back Yahoo shares, and he agreed.

At that time, Ahri's valuation was $35 billion, and Yahoo sold half of its shares, which is 20.

If you cover it for another two years, and wait until Ari NYSE is listed, these 20 shares can earn more than 30 billion US dollars!

Xia Jingxing nodded, "Of course, there is no righteousness in buying and selling, right?"

Yang Jieyuan smiled, "Okay, let's be here today!"

He quickly stood up, shook hands with Xia Jingxing, called his entourage, and left together.

Xia Jingxing sent their group to the door of the company, and when they were far away, he turned around and saw Christina and the dog suddenly appear in front of him.

"Is Jerry Young gone?" Kristina asked.

Xia Jingxing nodded, "Well, let's go!"

The expression on the dog's face was very exciting, "Wow, boss, I didn't expect you to know such a big man.

He just showed up at the company, and if I hadn't pressed him, the employees would have run to sign. "

Xia Jingxing thought about it and felt that although Yahoo wanted to acquire Facebook, although he rejected it, it was still necessary to tell the two partners that they had a right to know.

"Come with me to the office!"

Xia Jingxing called the two to his office and briefly talked about Yahoo's door-to-door talk about the acquisition.

"6666.6 billion US dollars to buy us?"

After the puppy heard it, his mouth grew big, and his eyes were full of surprise.

Acquisitions and equity financing are two different things.

After accepting Yahoo's acquisition, their shares are converted into Yahoo stock, which can be sold in the secondary market.

Equity financing obtains a valuation, let alone selling it, the equity-backed loan has to be broken.

Yang Niu's reaction became calmer, she smiled and said, "Facebook's current valuation is really a price per day."

"I rejected him, are you two okay?"

While Xia Jingxing spoke, he also paid attention to the expressions of the two and observed their true thoughts.

The little dog shook his head sharply, "I definitely have no opinion, follow the boss, you can't go wrong!"

Christina also shook her head, "Although the price is very moving, the potential of Facebook obviously goes beyond that."

Xia Jingxing was very satisfied with their answers and said with a smile, "In the eyes of the outside world, we may have made a wrong decision.

But you two were with me in taking Facebook from a string of codes to the company it is today with hundreds of employees.

From scratch, from dormitory to start-up base, to today's two-story office, we have completed all this in just 15 years.

In 15 years, what do you think Facebook will look like? "

The puppy scratched his head, "I really didn't think about it!"

"Then think about it now, think hard for me, think hard!"

Xia Jingxing sat on the desk and smiled at the puppy.

The dog looked thoughtful, "15 years later... the number of users is one hundred times that of today, 1.4 billion users...

Valuation, oh... no no, it must be market value by then.

The market value has also increased by a hundred times... 55.5 billion US dollars! "

After speaking, the dog raised his neck, "Boss, how is it? Is this goal too big?"

Xia Jingxing ignored the puppy, looked at Yang Niu, and asked with a smile, "Christina, you also look forward to Facebook fifteen years from now."

Yang Niu glanced at Puppy, she studied economics, what Puppy just said must be wrong.

She expressed her opinion: "If we have 1.4 billion users in 15 years, and the number of users has increased by 100 times, the market value will definitely be more than 100 times the current value.

Taking into account the growth of the economy, the data needs to be doubled!

Fifteen years later, the penetration of the Internet into people's lives will be even higher. The online time and browsing time of users may be three or five times that of today, and the value of advertising will also increase three times or five times, as well as the market value.

Let me make a correction on the basis of the dog: fifteen years later, 1.4 billion users and a market value of 555.5 billion US dollars! "

Xia Jingxing was stunned, Yang Niu's data was not accurate, but it was very close to the truth.

He immediately became interested, and followed the two of them to look forward to the future: "Then I also propose a hypothesis that in fifteen years, we will reach 3 billion users and a market value of one trillion US dollars!"

The puppy coughed and looked down at his shoes, "Boss, just tell us something like this, but don't go out! The media still don't know how to ridicule you."

Xia Jingxing laughed and said, "Don't worry, it's natural for the three of us to know this kind of thing, I won't go out and talk nonsense.

What I want to express is very clear, that is, I hope that everyone will not feel that it is a pity to reject the acquisition of Yahoo.

We continue to work hard, I believe that we can create a hundred times, thousand times the market value of today! "

"Okay, let's work towards the $1 trillion goal!"

Kristina smiled, and even she came to make fun of Xia Jingxing.

Xia Jingxing shrugged and smiled helplessly, not making any unnecessary explanations.

Until 2020, when Xia Jingxing passed through that year, the market value of Xiaomazi's Facebook did not reach one trillion US dollars.

Xia Jingxing felt that the goal of trillions of dollars was a long way to go, and perhaps in the hands of himself and others, it might not be possible for him to surpass Xiao Mazi.

Since he has already stepped on the little Mazi in this life, why not step on the little Mazi in the previous life as well.

First set yourself a big goal: $1 trillion!
