- In the previous life, in 2009, the valuation of K was actually not high. Due to the impact of the financial crisis, the valuation had been reduced, which was about US$25 billion. However, even so, when K was listed on May 18, 2012, The market value of the IPO was set at US$100 billion, setting a new record!
But this life is different. With Tang Mingxiang¡¯s $8 billion injection in advance, it developed very well in 2007 and 2008.
As of May 2009, that is, last month, the number of registered users of K exceeded 500 million. In May, the number of unique IP visits in the United States reached 152 million, and the number of page views reached 76.6 billion, second only to Google. The number of unique IP visits in the United States is 166 million and 158 million in the United States.
There are 270 million unique access IPs in the world, and the number of page views has exceeded 120 billion, ranking among the top five in the world's Internet industry. It can be said that the results are very strong.
Therefore, it is understandable that its valuation has risen. Even a cautious person like Milner believes that its IPO market value will reach 150 billion US dollars.
? 150 billion U.S. dollars far exceeds the 100 billion U.S. dollars in the previous life. It is definitely not a delusion to raise 10 billion U.S. dollars by then and become the first IPO to raise funds for a technology company in history.
After the lock-up period, although it may not reach 300 billion US dollars. But if you want to reach a market value of 200 billion k, there is no problem at all.
After all, k is a social networking site that connects the world. As long as it develops, it will be impossible for others to compete and stop it. Obtaining a high market value is a matter of course.
An investment of 35 billion U.S. dollars, and a profit of about 200 billion U.S. dollars, a profit of almost 500%, is extremely happy for any investor. It¡¯s also something to be proud of.
Therefore, Milner believed that Xiao Qi would feel good about it. Will agree to invest.
After all, no one in this world likes to fight against making money.
And as long as Xiao Qi can become friends with Milner through this transaction, it will be a huge profit.
but. Xiao Qi's answer was beyond Milner's expectations, "Mr. Milner, is DST short of money?"
"Well¡¡"
Milner was stunned, "What do you mean, Mr. Qi"
"I mean, like the steel tycoon in your country, I can give you a sum of money to use your talents." Xiao Qi said lightly, "I don't know how much commission they will give you. I invest 10 billion US dollars in your dst, and you set up a fund to operate it. You get 30% of the profits, and you don¡¯t have to pay for it if you lose. You can increase the funds at any time, and I will give you whatever you want.¡±
Milner¡¯s eyes were as big as bull¡¯s eyes. Breathing also became faster.
He didn¡¯t even know how to describe his mood.
It feels a bit like being in a dream, and a bit like being hit by a huge cake falling from the sky. I am full of excitement and disbelief.
Investing 10 billion US dollars in dst, you don¡¯t have to bear any responsibility for losses, and you can directly get 30% of the profits?
Isn¡¯t it?
I just want to cooperate with Xiao Qi on a business, and then I am going to slowly establish a cooperative relationship with Xiao Qi. After a year and a half, let Xiao Qi invest more.
Why did you suddenly give yourself 10 billion?
Xiao Qi is not a fool, right?
no no. How could Xiao Qi be a fool?
If he is a fool, there will be no smart people in the world!
But why was he so hasty that he directly handed over 10 billion US dollars to someone he had just met for the first time?
Seeing Milner's doubts after being excited, Xiao Qi smiled and said: "I believe Mr. Milner that you have already paid attention to me. Similarly, as one of the world's top angel investors, I have also known about you for a long time and have passed countless I know you are a trustworthy person, so I am willing to trust your vision and let you help me increase my assets.¡±
"Do you know my investment trajectory?" Milner said subconsciously.
"You invested in vk, Russia's largest social network company, right? 40% of Russia's network technology companies are related to you, right? Most of your collaborators and subordinates are from Goldman Sachs, and some are from Morgan Stanley and Green Pine Capital, right?" Xiao Qidao: "You have invested in 6 companies in the United States in the past two years, right? And now your goal is not only K, but also R, Swedish spot, and lending. Lu b, right?"
Milner was shocked at first.
But after hearing it, he was no longer shocked because he was numb.
I dare not say that Xiao Qi has mastered all of his investment trajectories, but at least 80% of his investments are well known by Xiao Qi.
The most important thing is, Xiao Qi has no idea what companies he wants to invest in in the future.Of course, he already knew a lot about them. The three companies he mentioned were all companies he was very optimistic about, and he was ready to directly acquire a lot of shares after actively negotiating with them!
But now he is just making a calculation. Even the people in the company don¡¯t know his tendency. How did Xiao Qi figure it out?
If he only analyzed the information he received and came to these conclusions, it would be too scary! ?
"Well, you don't have to be afraid. I'm not a god who knows everything." Xiao Qi said with a smile, "The reason why I can guess that you want to invest in these companies is entirely because I also like them. So. After seeing these companies in your intelligence collection, I felt that we should have a common vision, so I named the companies I selected. "
"I see."
Milner breathed a sigh of relief.
If he is so smart that no one can match him, who would dare to deal with Xiao Qi?
"The 10 billion U.S. dollars is just a preliminary investment. If you have any needs in the future, I can provide funds." Xiao Qi said: "I only have one request, and that is to do it according to your heart and don't worry about anything. Whether it¡¯s profitable or not, no matter how disapproving others are, as long as you think it¡¯s worth it, then do it!¡±
¡°It doesn¡¯t matter if I¡¯m wrong?¡± Milner asked.
"I am a person who allows partners to make mistakes, because only after failure can we grow." Xiao Qidao, "What's more, billions and tens of billions of dollars are not big numbers to me. Talent is far more important than money. Important. I can be more patient and look forward to you bringing me huge profits in the next twenty or thirty years.¡±
Milner has always believed that some people are born with the temperament of a leader, and this courage can help them succeed.
So he often contacts the entrepreneurs he wants to invest in, eating, chatting, going out for exercise, etc., just to see their daily performance and judge how likely they are to succeed.
But he had never seen someone like Xiao Qi, who could have such trust in someone he had just met for the first time.
Although this kind of trust is based on Xiao Qi's vision, it is definitely a great honor for Milner to be trusted by the world's richest man and to believe in his own vision and ability. This is a great compliment!
"good!"
Milner is also a straightforward person.
After thinking clearly, he nodded immediately, "I will make a contract when I go back. Dst will accept your funds and will set up a separate fund to operate the project according to your requirements! Since you trust me so much, I will also We will try our best not to disappoint you! ¡±
"Then let's start the first step of cooperation negotiations." Xiao Qi smiled and said: "K, just do it according to your method. The same applies to future investments, as long as I don't ask you to help with the acquisition. Company, you can buy and sell shares at any time according to your wishes.¡±
"Thank you." Milner said with a smile. The more freedom Xiao Qi gave him, the more he could do things according to his own wishes. As an angel investor, this is undoubtedly a very happy thing.
"Then the next three companies, since you also plan to invest in them, I will not get involved, you make your own decision." Xiao Qi said: "But besides that, I heard that you are in the electronic technology industry in the United States. I have a lot of connections. I wonder if I can come up with some ideas and ask you to help me find someone to make them a reality?¡±
Milner¡¯s eyes narrowed, and the next moment he said: ¡°Don¡¯t you have Hoffman, the ¡®King of Silicon Valley Connections¡¯? And you are very happy to cooperate, why are you still looking for me?¡±
"It's very simple, because putting all your hopes on one person will be a huge burden on him, and it will also be difficult for my investment plan." Xiao Qidao, "I hope you can compete and see Whoever finds the best people creates the most powerful company.¡±
"I'm afraid this is difficult, right?" Milner shook his head repeatedly, "Airbnb, Uber, any of these companies are worth tens of billions of dollars, how can I do better than him?"
"Are you not confident in yourself?" Xiao Qi asked.
"It's not that I don't have confidence, it's just that I have lost the upper hand in the competition!" Milner smiled, "But don't worry, I will try my best to do the best on the project you give me. If I can't do it, I will It won¡¯t be forced.¡±
Xiao Qi nodded in agreement, "It's best to think this way, but this matter is not urgent. Let's wait until you finish the few projects in hand!"
"I see."
Milner didn¡¯t ask any more questions and agreed.
He is a very self-aware person who can see himself clearly and knowReaching your own limits is a good trait for angel investors and can help them achieve greater achievements.
In addition to ability, Milner's investment performance in his previous life had a lot to do with his character! (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading?
