HSBC also raised a question, "May I ask Mr. Cai, can Facebook maintain its leading position in social platforms? For competitors, such as Sina Blog, Sohu Blog and even QQ, does Facebook have any long-term internal competition plans? "
Cai Congxin's face became a little more serious, and he replied cautiously: "We respect and value every competitor, but at the same time, Facebook also has absolute confidence. It is no exaggeration to say that social platforms, our Facebook Facebook is the first, the best, and the largest. From the first day of launch, whether it is function or content, our Facebook has always been the leading trend, has been imitated, and has never been surpassed! "
Applause erupted in the meeting room. No matter which investor, he hopes to see the company he will invest in be so aggressive and confident.
When there are no problems on both sides, the final bidding process will start. The process is very simple. 1000 million additional shares will be issued directly on the spot, and the highest price will win.
As mentioned earlier, Yu Wenfei's goal is to introduce Wall Street capital, that is, Citibank. Isn't he afraid of being cut off by HSBC?
Obviously, he knew it in his heart.
In this bidding, HSBC will definitely not be able to compete with Citigroup, because HSBC's base camp is in Europe, while Citigroup is in the United States.
Facebook is going to be listed on the NASDAQ in the United States, which happens to be the headquarters of Citigroup. No matter in terms of operation or customer resources, HSBC is no match for Citigroup.
Therefore, on the same basis, Citigroup has the confidence to quote a higher price, because they are sure to help Facebook raise its stock price.
What's more, Laomei's capital has a farther view and more confidence in Internet companies than people from other countries, so they are willing to spend a lot of money.
Of course, Masayoshi Son of Softbank Capital is an exception. Although he is not Laomei, he has more money than Laomei.But if you really want to get to the bottom of it, Sun Zhengyi also returned from studying in the United States.
Sure enough, after HSBC quoted a price of 1000 million US dollars for the 5000 million additional shares, Byrne of Citibank immediately spit out a number expressionlessly, "[-] million"!
A hammer!
HSBC was all dumbfounded, because this figure exceeded their expectations by a lot!
For the valuation of Facebook itself, HSBC gave a valuation of 60 billion US dollars, plus the listing underwriter qualification of "bundled sales", and can add up to 5000 million. Therefore, before coming, These are the upper limits of quotations prepared by HSBC.
Corresponding to the 1000 million additional shares given by Facebook, it can be quoted at most 5000 million.
And Citibank directly exceeded [-] million, how can this be played!
The representative of HSBC Bank shook his head, sighed, and simply gave up. He stood up, smiled and said to Byrne: "Congratulations! But I'm really curious, are you really so optimistic about Facebook?"
Bourne also responded with a smile: "Of course!"
In his heart, Bourne looked down on the people of HSBC, the British guy was really down and out, and he was so picky and searchy in his shots.
…………
When the dust settled, Facebook made a new round of financing, and Yu Wenfei personally transferred 900 million shares to [-]% of the shares of Shanghai Pudong Development Bank, successfully becoming the second shareholder of Shanghai Pudong Development Bank.
The company issued 1000 million additional shares, introduced a new shareholder, Citibank, and received 5000 million US dollars in cash, making preparations for the launch of Facebook videos and Facebook music.
Up to now, Facebook's shareholding structure has changed again, and the company's total share capital is 1000 million shares.
Yuwenfei is still the largest shareholder, holding 6000 million shares.
Modu International Trust and Investment Company is the second largest shareholder, holding 900 million shares.
Citibank became the third largest shareholder, holding 1000 million shares.
Softbank Capital retreated to fourth place, holding 900 million shares.
Cai Congxin and Jiaotong University Venture Capital tied for fifth place, each with 100 million shares.
In addition, an employee policy of [-] shares is reserved, waiting for the company to be distributed to key employees before the company goes public, so that the company's employees can also enjoy the fruits of the company's development.
…………
After the news was announced, everyone was shocked again.
Those who know the details, naturally understand why Citibank spent so much money to grab 1000 million shares, but in the eyes of most people who don't know, this means that Facebook's valuation has reached 80 billion US dollars!
This valuation is more than twice that of Sina, which currently has the highest market value in China, which is a bit outrageous!
"How rich is Yu Wenfei?"
This question quickly became popular on the Internet and became a topic that every netizen talked about.
"Mr. Fei has 6000 million shares in Facebook, right? 1000 million shares are worth 5000 million U.S. dollars. Then Mr. Fei's worth is easy to calculate, 45 billion U.S. dollars, which is more than 380 billion... My God , After calculating it, I realized how amazing this number is."
"Impossible, the wealth of the richest man in the country last year was 60 billion yuan? Yu Wenfei built such a website, and he can be worth tens of billions? This is a bit too exaggerated."
"I also don't feel right. Although Facebook is very powerful, I don't think it's worth so much money."
"This year's richest man should be President Chen of Shanda. It is said that his net worth exceeds tens of billions. Can Yu Wenfei top this year's Forbes China Rich List?"
Whether Yu Wenfei can reach the top of the Forbes China Rich List in 2003, many experts on the Internet have also given interpretations.
Chapter 574 Who Is Richer
In fact, no matter on the Internet or traditional media, there have always been many reports about Yu Wenfei. There is no way, who made him the most popular young man in the past few years.
Modu TV station is right, Yu Wenfei has already become a symbol, a benchmark for contemporary college students, or a benchmark for contemporary young people, a banner!
Therefore, if you count the number of news reports on him, it may not be less than those Uranus superstars at all.
How much is Yu Wenfei's net worth? This question has also been discussed by various media, including the majority of netizens. I don't know how many times.
Especially when Facebook raised money for the first time, Softbank Capital gave a valuation of 40 billion US dollars, which was the first time that Yu Wenfei's net worth was exposed to the public.
It also made everyone suddenly realize that Yu Wenfei is no longer the sunny boy in everyone's impression, but has become a billionaire!
The fans who admired him, of course, hoped that Yu Wenfei would be as rich as possible, and wished to immediately put the title of the richest Chinese man on Yu Wenfei's head.
But many people who are not used to it or who are jealous of Yu Wenfei will contemptuously say that Yu Wenfei's net worth has no gold content, and it is all blown out, because Facebook is neither an entity nor a listed company. Valuations are not credible at all.
In the school forums of Shanghai Jiaotong University and Fudan University, students on both sides started a debate about who is richer, Yu Wenfei or Shanda Mr. Chen.
Yu Wenfei seems to be the representative of Shanghai Jiaotong University, and Mr. Shanda Chen graduated from Fudan University. Both of them are the pride of their respective schools.
In addition, Shanghai Jiaotong University and Fudan have been competing secretly. Fudan wants to maintain its position as the number one university in Shanghai, while Jiaotong University wants to surpass Fudan. It can be said that the relationship is very delicate, whether it is between the school or the students.
In the end, no one convinced anyone in that debate. It is well known that Shanda Mr. Chen is rich, and he made a lot of money by relying on a legend. It can even be said that it is the company with the most cash flow. exaggerate.
According to a newspaper report, Shanda has earned more than one million every day since the legendary game became popular in 2001, and even exceeded ten million at its peak.This number is terrifying, because at the same time, most Internet companies are still burning money crazily, with only investment but no income.
A 30-year-old new-generation billionaire, and a 20-year-old student entrepreneurship benchmark, these two people were put together for comparison.
Like Facebook, Shanda is not listed at this time, and is also preparing for a listing.
It can be said that no one can clearly explain Chen Tianqiao's net worth.
Shanda is an undisputed leader in the online game industry.
Facebook, among the social networking sites, is also unrivaled in the limelight and is far ahead, and its competitors can't get ashes after it follows.
