Age of Dreams - Vol 2 Chapter 3111
Facebook’s preparations for listing have been proceeding in an orderly manner. [[<?[
Zuckerberg’s experience may be insufficient for a company Ipo to go public, but if Goldman Sachs is there to help, then there is no problem.
Since 191o, Goldman Sachs has been operating stocks on a large scale. Now, 1oo years have passed. Goldman Sachs’ experience can be described as the world’s first.
Over the past few years, Goldman Sachs has operated and listed stocks, and there are no 1ooo companies, but 8oo companies.
By operating these companies’ Ipo listings, Goldman Sachs has not only accumulated a lot of experience and become the first underwriter of choice for large companies to go public, but also earned a huge amount of money.
The same goes for operating Facebook this time. Goldman Sachs can get at least 700 million U.S. dollars in net income from it. If some forward benefits are added in, they will earn a 100 million U.S. dollars without any problem at all.
After the formal preparations were made in December last year, after the New Year holiday in January, Zuckerberg led his team, a group of more than 30 people, and under the guidance of Goldman Sachs, began a roadshow all over the world.
Without Xiao Qi, Zuckerberg would be the youngest genius in the world to create miracles, but even with Xiao Qi, he is also the youngest genius in Europe and America.
Because everyone is white, Zuckerberg is very popular. No matter where in Europe and America, he is regarded as a guest of honor. Countless fund managers, angel investors, banking experts and ordinary investors are all Surrounded by him, hoping to get huge profits on Facebook’s listing.
The same is true in Asia. Zuckerberg has been enthusiastically sought after in Japan, South Korea, the East, Hong Kong and Singapore. Usually, if you want to meet with him, you have to wait for several hours.
Ipo of 1.2 billion U.S. dollars went public, and over 4.8 billion U.S. dollars of fundraising, for everyone, I have never heard of it.
However, Facebook has been able to make such an Ipo plan after a long time of consideration. It is also the result of continuous development over the past few years. It is not a number that is determined by patting your head.
Facebook is the world’s largest social networking site. Its perfect communication ability is better than WeChat. Especially in Europe and the United States, Facebook has more users than WeChat.
The users of over 1.5 billion people, the expectations of 300 million users in the future, and their efforts in business and ideals all make people feel that Facebook has a promising future, and the future will surely be as brilliant as Fairy and Apple. .
Apple is a little better. Major investment banks and funds already control two-thirds of its stocks. The remaining Qiao gang leaders have owned 10% of the shares, and small retail investors also have some, which is almost a common share. , Everyone can enjoy the profits brought by Apple’s high exhibition.
Oh, forgot to say, since the sale of Apple’s Ipad, monthly sales have risen sharply, and now there are 80 million monthly sales, directly past the sum of Samsung and Microsoft, and later came to the top and became the world second.
Because of this, Apple’s stock and profits are rising steadily, making investors smile.
Relatively speaking, the Fairy Company is very unwelcome.
It’s not because the profit of the Fairy Company is not up to expectations. In fact, the profit of the Fairy Company is coveted by all investors.
Fairy Company is not a listed company, so it is not obliged to disclose its financial status, including profitability, to the public.
However, several products under the fairy company, as well as the minority shareholders of appsToRe, are listed companies.
Fund companies and the media can query and estimate the profitability of Fairy Company through their company’s profitability.
According to the law of these few years, the pre-tax profits of the fairy companies dreampad and dreamstars have reached about 60%. Excluding the cost of taxation, research and other expenses, the net profit is also as high as 25%-3o%.
Although at first glance, it seems that this profit is not high, Buffett’s company can give a compound profit of about 23% every year, which is not much worse than the fairy company.
But the problem is that the benefits of the fairy company are not only in product profits, but also in continuous share appreciation.
For example, Dreampad. Starting from the initial transfer of shares for 1.3 billion U.S. dollars, in about three years, even the most conservative investment banking company, its valuation has reached 3.5 billion U.S. dollars, almost an increase of 2oo. %.
Coupled with its annual average profit of about 2o%, such an investment will be close to 3oo% in more than three years. Is there a better investment than this?
&nb for its growth is more ferocious than dreampad.
Even if the value of Dreampad and Dreamstars will not increase as fast as they were initially, they are still very qualified as a high-quality asset that can be preserved for a long time.
And their stable income and profits are also a better investment than to Buffett.
Not to mention appsToRe, the huge benefits in it are second, and the terminal control of the smart electronics industry is its most powerful place.
But in addition to accepting Apple and Samsung, Xiao Qi has no fourth company that can share the high-growth profits of appsToRe, which makes people more and more lamentable.
Compared with Xiao Qi’s stinginess, Facebook is the power to recruit the best from the world.
At first, everyone thought that Facebook might only put out 25% for the Ipo listing, but they did not expect that in the end Facebook actually put out 4o% for the Ipo listing, and the recruiting funds reached 4.8 billion U.S. dollars, setting the world’s largest!
How much money Ipo needs to raise is not the point.
The key is whether this company can be worth so much money, and whether it can have a lot of value-added space after it is bought.
Facebook is obviously a company with a promising future. To them, a valuation of 1.2 billion US dollars is far from the top.
With the hot sale of Ipad, Apple’s market value has now exceeded 400 billion US dollars, and Fairy Company has a valuation of more than one trillion US dollars.
Facebook is on the social network, it is almost the sum of Fairy and Apple on smart electronics!
Even if the social network is not as reachable as the smart electronics industry, it is not so valuable, but at least at least, Facebook’s market value of 200 million to 300 million US dollars can still be fully achieved.
In this way, it is two or three times the profit. What else do investors dissatisfied with?
When I think of holding so many shares, big guys, whether institutional investors or individual investors, are all gearing up, and they also admire Zuckerberg’s boldness.
Of course, the mode of operation of the secondary equity structure has long been announced, and everyone has no opinion on this.
In North America, there are more equity structure models like this. For investors, they want to get more shares to share their benefits, but they don’t want the founders to be emptied by capitalists. This makes the company unable to move forward smoothly in the end. Will depreciate the value of the shares.
This secondary equity structure model can have the best of both worlds.
Because Facebook had many shareholders before, including Facebook employees, etc., the number of shareholders has long passed the prescribed number, so at the time of Ipo, all 4o% of the shares in this part will be invested in the market.
Originally, both Zuckerberg and Goldman Sachs were a little worried, but after such a month or so of the world roadshow, investors’ enthusiasm and enthusiasm gradually convinced them, and the worries about Ipo’s listing gradually dissipated. .
Zuckerberg is a very conceited person.
Entrepreneurs who start a company are generally such people. If there is no arrogance to dominate the world, how can a company be the first in the industry?
There is no way to make a great company by being cautious.
Only with ambitious entrepreneurial ideas and continuous pioneering spirit can we make our company bigger and stronger.
Zuckerberg never felt that he was worse than Xiao Qi, he was also very interested in smart electronics, but this was also after he developed Facebook.
Only when the Facebook exhibition is completed, can he free his hands and slowly unite Smart Electronics and Facebook together to create a brand-new network giant, thus creating his own world!
February 13, Monday, the day before Valentine’s Day.
With much anticipation, at nine o’clock in the morning, on the second floor of the Nasdaq Stock Exchange, Facebook President Zuckerberg launched the opening ceremony and announced the official listing of Facebook.
Facebook estimates that the total share capital is 100 billion shares, and the value of each share is $12.
Although the value of each share is very low on Nasdaq, its total number of shares is too much, and the valuation of Ipo is also too large. This time it also released 4o% of the shares in one breath, which is 400 million shares came out, which really made many people sweat for them.
Including Zuckerberg, there are also some speculations in his heart, but he is still smiling on the surface, with a confident look.
He also joked with the Nasdaq leader Cisrner next to him: “Miss Tang didn’t come here because she has more important things to deal with. I’m afraid she will be swept out if she disturbs the door. But she has already said that If these shares are broken, she will start the acquisition model, so that everyone can no longer buy Facebook stock.”
Srner laughed without realizing it, and when he saw his good mentality, he still admired him. This guy is worthy of being a genius second only to Xiao Qi.
It’s the first time in Nasdaq’s history that the 1.2 billion U.S. dollar Ipo is listed. If it is done well, it will be a good thing for both Nasdaq and Facebook, but if it fails, Facebook will become everyone. What a laughingstock!
At the same time, he did not believe Zuckerberg’s words. Tang Mingxiang was not wise to buy stocks worth more than 100 billion US dollars.
Between the two people talking and laughing, the stock market has already had some reaction.
“Go up! Go up! Go up!!”
A Facebook vice president next to him clenched his fist and shouted quietly.
Zuckerberg followed his eyes and saw the stock with the Facebook code written on it. Now the price has jumped to 12.6 US dollars, and the next moment it quickly jumped to 12.8 US dollars.
After that, the stock price suddenly dropped to 12.3 US dollars, but after a stalemate between 12.3 and 12.5 US dollars for a few minutes, there was a huge amount of buy orders, all the way up to 13 US dollars.
In just ten minutes, Facebook’s stock is like a roller coaster, going up and down, which is a bit frightening.
Rao is someone like Zuckerberg who has a city government, and he doesn’t feel that he shook his head secretly. This kind of suffering is much harder than running a company on his own.
Fortunately, you only have to experience this kind of thing once. If you do it a few times, I’m afraid the heart will not be able to stand it.
Facebook’s stock affects not only the people present, but also investors from all over the world.
Countless people are holding banknotes in their hands to see if they can pick up the bargain, or enter in time to get a good start.
Seeing that Facebook’s stock has been pushed up all the way, some investors who were optimistic about Facebook can’t stand it, and gradually began to pay.
1oo hand, 2oo hand, 5oo hand, 2ooo hand…
After the trickle streams converged, the stock price of ~www.mtlnovel.com~ also continued to move forward steadily.
Although no one else’s stocks gapped up by 5o% or 1oo% at the beginning, they were so exaggerated, but Facebook’s steady rise has made more investors feel at ease. After all, no one wants to buy one that keeps rising and falling. The stocks of… well, the main reason is that they are afraid of plummeting and most people who hate skyrocketing have already sold their stocks at low prices.
By the time the market closed at noon, Facebook’s stock price had stabilized at $13.76.
By the end of the afternoon, Facebook’s stock price was fixed at 14.22 US dollars, just a total increase of 18.5%, a good start.
Not only Zuckerberg and Goldman Sachs breathed a sigh of relief, but Tang Mingxiang, who was also following the Facebook listing at home, also relieved his mood and leaned in Xiao Qi’s arms with satisfaction.
You can finally concentrate on preparing for a baby! (To be continued.) 8
