Age of Dreams

October is already the end of the year, and many statistical data will start to be carried out from now on.

If it’s Huaguo’s side, don’t panic. It’s okay to count after New Year’s Day, because our New Year’s usually falls at the end of January and February.

Westerners are different, they mainly use the international calendar, so naturally they need to start statistics in October.

One thing that Xiao Qi felt very headache also started at this time, that is the list of the world's richest people.

Although Xiao Qi is already very thick-skinned now, and others secretly say that he manipulated the rich list and greatly lowered his wealth value, it is as if he did not hear it, but he has to deal with those two lists every year, and the year-to-year comparison Xiao Qi inevitably felt that the money he gave was too much.

If it is used in China, at least dozens of schools can be built. How many children will be helped to sit in the classroom with textbooks.

Of course, such troubles are nothing more than trivial matters. It is reasonable to pay a price if you want to keep your money secret.

There are other lists, but Xiao Qi is very happy.

For example, after the ranking of global social networking sites came out, Xiao Qi's family became the target of everyone's attention.

The first place is naturally the unshakable Facebook. Since its establishment, this website has crushed its peers all the way. The data of more than two billion users so far is completely Dugu seeking defeat.

Facebook has confirmed that it will be listed on Nasdaq next year, and now it has slowly started various asset statistics, valuation estimates, etc. The initial estimated price should reach around 120 billion US dollars.

This is only the price at the time of the IPO. After the listing, if the price does not exceed 180 billion US dollars, investors will be considered blind.

The IPO valuation of 120 billion and the market value of 180 billion US dollars after listing have already exceeded the data of Facebook in the previous life, but Facebook in this life is naturally much more powerful than the previous life.

Whether it is Tang Mingxiang or Xiao Qi, after acquiring Facebook shares, they have brought a large sum of money to Facebook. Help it develop rapidly.

Compared with the previous life before Facebook went public, the development was slightly slower. The current super high performance of Facebook with more than 2 billion users is the best proof.

Therefore, on the one hand, everyone marvels at Facebook's valuation, and on the other hand, what they envy most is Tang Mingxiang's investment.

After DST's new round of financing at a valuation of 40 billion US dollars, Facebook has not raised funds for more than a year.

Now Facebook's shareholding structure is relatively simple.

The largest shareholder is Zuckerberg, who owns 34.2% of the shares.

Followed by Tang Mingxiang. She owns 33% of the shares, and this is because she sold 3% of Facebook shares to the Steinbrenner family for the acquisition of the New York Yankees, otherwise she is the largest shareholder.

The remaining third shareholder is DST Investment Company, which owns 10% of the shares with 4 billion US dollars.

Then the remaining 22.8% of the shares are jointly held by several founders and employees of the company.

If the IPO is priced at 120 billion US dollars, Tang Mingxiang's shares will be worth 39.6 billion US dollars. If you wait another year or two, this part of the shares will appreciate to more than 70 billion US dollars.

In order to get so many shares. Tang Mingxiang paid a total of 8 billion US dollars, but this is nearly ten times the profit, which is also very impressive.

If it wasn't for Xiao Qi's sudden birth. This transaction alone is enough to make Tang Mingxiang one of the top three richest people in the world.

Few people know. In fact, Xiao Qi's profit here is also amazing.

Although he sold 10% of the shares for 4 billion US dollars, and promised Zuckerberg to sell all the shares within three years, Xiao Qi will choose to sell at least when the market value is 200 billion US dollars. Even a revenue of 20 billion U.S. dollars and a profit of 400% are enough to make the DST company famous, and it is also enough to benefit Xiao Qi.

The second-ranked social networking site is Twitter, although Twitter is not as big as Facebook. But its coverage area is very wide, and at least 600 million people are using it. And the stickiness of users is very strong.

For this reason, Wall Street has valued Twitter at US$10 billion, which is quite high for a social networking site like Weibo, and it will be even more developed if the revenue balance is found in the future. .

Last year, DST bought 30% of Twitter shares for US$600 million, which was praised as a very successful investment.

Some people are already saying behind the scenes that this business was actually invested by Milner for Xiao Qi, and many people believe this.

Of course, the rapid development of Twitter in just one year is the result of Milner’s vigorous development after investing in funds. Without this fund, Twitter’s scale would not be so large.

The third social networking site is the well-known Meitu Sharing. This website has more than 500 million users and its market value has exceeded 40 billion US dollars. It is gradually consolidating its position.

It is worth mentioning that the market value of Meitu Sharing is higher than that of Twitter, but it only ranks third. The reason is that it is a listed company, while Twitter has not yet been listed. Once Twitter is ready to go public, it will be at least 30 billion US dollars.

And according to Twitter's user viscosity, its market value will soon be pushed up, even stronger than Meitu Sharing.

Turning back to the topic, this Meitu Sharing was also founded by Xiao Qi, and it is still the largest shareholder. In this business, he has made at least more than 20 billion US dollars, which is definitely a lot of money.

The fourth social networking site is a site that is beyond everyone's expectations - Pinterest.

This social networking site, which has been brilliant in the previous life, is no exception in this life. With Xiao Qi's strong financial support, as well as planning and suggestions for the development of the entire website, and the hard work of a group of managers, it took more than a year. In the past, it is reasonable to have more than 200 million users, and it is still developing rapidly.

The main users of Pinterest are now in the United States, and there are also many fans in nearby Canada, Mexico, and South American countries. Everyone can't explain why, but they just like the style of Pinterest.

Many people sit by the computer and open Pinterest to look at pictures all afternoon. This has almost become a fashion among young people.

Even GOOGLE, Baidu, YAHOO and other companies have come to Pinterest, hoping to obtain the technical authorization of Waterfall, so that their website pictures can also become like this, which is convenient for people to browse.

With so many popular factors, Pinterest quickly became popular and became the fourth social networking site in the world, which is also reasonable.

And its valuation has reached 8 billion U.S. dollars, and it is expected that the IPO will reach 20 billion U.S. dollars, and no one is surprised.

The fifth is the more irresistible ephemeral.

In just a few months, the number of users who burn after reading ferociously exceeded 200 million, and it is growing stronger every day.

With the support of Xiao Qi's strong financial resources, the computer room has been bombed 5 times and the server has crashed 5 times since the launch of Burning After Reading, which shows how much people like to use Burning After Reading.

People are discussing that the only hope to compete with Facebook for the title of No. 1 social networking site in the future is this ephemeral post.

Although the number of users may not necessarily be greater than that of Facebook, but in terms of influence and radiating people, Burn After Reading is definitely not bad.

The only thing it lacks now is time, as long as it is given another three years of development time to allow it to develop properly under Xiao Qi's financial resources, it will definitely shine even brighter!

Now the valuation of Fleeting After Reading has directly exceeded 15 billion U.S. dollars, and the valuation of the IPO has reached more than 30 billion U.S. dollars. People on Wall Street are willing to give it such a high valuation, which proves that it is really worth it Price!

You know, it has not been half a year since the launch of Burn After Reading!

Back then, neither GOOGLE nor Facebook was as aggressive as it was!

So, after counting the top five social networking sites in the world, people will suddenly find that, except for Facebook, Twitter, and Meitu, Xiao Qi and his wife hold part of the shares, the remaining two are Pinterest and Burn After Reading. , they are all Xiao Qi's companies.

The less than 10% of the shares held by the management can be ignored.

Not to mention that Xiao Qi also has two stars of professional social networking sites - LinkedIn and Yammer!

If Tang Mingxiang's Tagged aimed at junior high school students and high school students is also counted, basically they can occupy half of the top fifteen social networking sites!

Not to mention the hundreds of billions of wealth that Xiao Qi may have in it, but the influence of this social networking site alone, Xiao Qi far surpassed Zuckerberg, surpassed anyone else, and became a well-deserved king!

Think about it, a global hegemon in the online world, how powerful is such influence?

No wonder even Zuckerberg once said that in front of Xiao Qi, a once-in-a-century online electronic genius, other geniuses, no matter how talented, can only bow down! (to be continued ~^~)
