Backtracking to the Age of Literature and Art

Yu Dong and Jimmy, like everyone else, have been watching the listing of Google.

As one of Google’s major shareholders, Deep Space’s stance is very important.

During this period, many reporters from the financial industry asked Jimmy and the others to interview him, just to ask about Google's situation and Deep Space's attitude towards this listing.

Deep Space currently holds 15.00% of Google's shares. Once Google is successfully listed, Deep Space's shares will definitely rise sharply.

In fact, not many people know how much Deep Space Company spent to buy these 15.00% shares, but everyone believes that as long as Google is successfully listed, Deep Space Company's 15.00% shares will definitely make a lot of money.

Google has not announced their expected price space yet, but if calculated according to general conditions, Google's market value can reach more than 50 billion U.S. dollars. 15.00% of the shares are worth 5000 million U.S. dollars. Even if it is diluted and halved, There are also more than 7000 million US dollars.

Deep Space Company definitely did not spend US$15.00 million to purchase the 7000% stake, and Google's market value will most likely increase.

At this time, a financial analyst named Amy suddenly published an article.

She mentioned in the article that everyone is now calculating how much money Deep Space Company can increase in this wave of listings, but no one has thought about whether Deep Space Company will take advantage of this opportunity to subscribe for Google’s shares. Out of stock?
Some people will say, isn’t this crazy? If that were the case, Google would just let Deep Space Company buy their shares.

Many people believe that the reason why Google went public is to allow employees to cash out their shares, because Google itself is not short of money.

Some time ago, during an interview, Google accidentally let slip that although they wanted to raise US$27 billion, they had not yet figured out how to spend the money.

In fact, Google still has [-] million US dollars in cash in its bank account. Like Deep Space, they are not short of money at all.

That being the case, why not let Deep Space directly acquire the shares held by Google employees and let them cash out?

Anyway, according to Google's current structure, no matter how many shares Deep Space holds, there is no way to affect Larry Page's decision-making power in the company.

In addition, Deep Space Company is so optimistic about Google, why should it buy it at this time?
After this article came out, many people expressed doubts. They believed that this was deliberate speculation by Google and Deep Space Company in order to increase the price of the stock.

Not long after this article was published, Google revised its expected IPO price range to US$108-135.

This move immediately caused an uproar, and many people came out to call Google crazy.

Why is Google crazy?

Because this issuance price is seven times that of other similar companies, the gap is too big. Such a high price makes people wonder what Google is going to do this time.

Such a high price and such a strong attitude also aroused strong resentment from Wall Street and mainstream media. Coupled with Amy's article some time ago, many media believed that Deep Space Company and Google were deliberately hyping up.

If that's the case, then I won't play anymore.

Merrill Lynch, one of the original underwriters of Google's listing and a mainstay in the investment banking industry, publicly stated that they would withdraw from Google's IPO project and advised their clients to be cautious about the stock.

After all, it was in the financial sector, so Merrill Lynch still kept a tightrope when talking about it. It only said that customers should be cautious, but did not directly ask customers not to subscribe for stocks.

Of course, there is a thin line on the surface, but it is different secretly.

Since Google announced its expected price space, many investment banks have begun to smear Google and warn their clients to stay away from Google. They say that Google is a big mess and they will only lose money if they invest money.

At this time, Ravi, who had become famous for his analysis of Amazon, jumped out.

Ravi said that the listing of Google this time was completely a conspiracy between Deep Space Company and Google, and Google will become an invincible black hole, and no matter how much money goes in, it will be sucked clean.

Ravi was having a somewhat unsatisfactory time during this time.

He previously gained a lot of attention for criticizing Amazon, and many people regard him as a god.

But he is not a victorious general. There have been many problems with some of his financial analysis in the past two years, and many people have begun not to believe him.

The biggest impact was the surge in Amazon’s stock some time ago, which caused Ravi to lose face.

At that time, Ravi pointed out in his financial analysis report that Amazon's model would never make money, so he was not optimistic about them.

But the current results prove that Amazon's model can be profitable, which is different from Ravi's previous analysis in the report.

Moreover, when Amazon first started to rise, Ravi also warned his customers not to follow suit. Amazon’s rise was very abnormal. It was possible that the Deep Space Company was causing trouble, and it was very likely that it would happen again in the future. Come down.

But after all this time, Amazon's stock simply can't move down, and it seems likely to go up.

This wave caused his customers to make a lot less money.

Sometimes, making less money is more irritating than losing money. These customer responsibilities are blamed on Ravi... In fact, it was Ravi's responsibility in the first place. He was indeed the one who said that Amazon's stock was going to fall.

Now, Ravi finally found an opportunity and came out to work for the Deep Space Company.

Ravi did not say it directly in the article, but the meaning is very obvious, that is, Deep Space Company is doing things behind the scenes in order to increase the issue price of Google's listing and cash out early.

……

As for the Deep Space Company, no matter how much interference from the outside world, they have not made any move.

During interviews, whenever reporters asked them questions related to Google, they all had no idea.

Don't know, don't understand, don't know.

At this time, the "New York Times" actually came out to attack Google and Deep Space. They criticized Google's listing plan as a return to the false prosperity of the Internet in the 90s, which contained too many bubbles and deceptions. .

Faced with the New York Times's group launch, Deep Space Company began to speak out.

In the evening of that day, the Deep Space Company issued an announcement with a very big title.

[The Internet era will truly come! 】

You can tell at a glance that this headline is against the New York Times.

Didn’t you, the New York Times, say that Google’s listing was a return to its old ways and a bubble?Then I, Deep Space Company, tell you that the Internet era is really coming?
As soon as Deep Space's announcement was sent out, the New York Times immediately responded. They believed that Deep Space owned so many Internet companies and bought many shares of Internet companies. It must be bragging about the Internet, because this is the only way. , Only in this way can the Deep Space Company guarantee its own interests.

But in fact, the development of the Internet needs to be orderly and not haphazard.

This time, Deep Space Company did not send another response, but only sent a "watching a show" emoji.

Because of the fate of the New York Times and Deep Space, this listing, which was originally only concerned by the financial world, has attracted more attention from ordinary people.

[I support the Deep Space Company this time. The development of the Internet is beyond what those idiots can imagine. 】

[Google’s issuance price is too high. It’s $[-]. Who can afford it? 】

[How to buy it? I want to buy it. 】【You are a supporter, why do you still want to buy it at such a high price? 】

[Haha, you see, everyone is a trustee. I think one hundred and eight dollars is still affordable. 】

[If you are not a trustworthy person, then you are a fool who will be deceived. 】

[One hundred and eight dollars is still affordable. How rich you are. 】

[I have never seen such an expensive issue price. Google is really crazy. 】

[Although I am a fan of YU, the operation of this wave of deep space companies really wants to increase the stock price. 】

[Haha, you said the same thing before when Amazon’s stock started to rise. 】

[Yeah, I can’t afford Amazon’s shares now. 】

[Looking at the current performance of Deep Space Company, it seems that Amazon is still very optimistic, and I have already bought it. 】

[I have also bought Amazon stock. I don’t care. I will wait for a few years. I believe that Deep Space Company’s vision will definitely increase the price. 】

[A bunch of fools, just waiting to lose money.With fools like you, Deep Space Company will definitely make crazy money. 】

[Just wait. When the stock price rises later, Deep Sky Company will definitely sell it. 】

[They want to buy it. 】

[They’re buying shit, just wait. 】

[Unless Deep Space Company takes over, the shares issued by Google cannot be sold at all. 】

[If the Deep Space Company wants to take over, aren’t they afraid of being beaten? 】

[They already own 15.00% of the shares. It doesn’t matter if they lose a little bit. If they can raise the stock, they will make crazy profits. 】

[That being said, it is true. 】

……

Faced with pressure from all parties, Google also made a small concession, that is, setting the issue price at US$85, which was US$23 less than the previous lowest expected price of US$[-].

But even so, this price is five times the issue price of other normal similar companies, which is still very outrageous.

Anyway, this series of operations also made investment banks disappointed with Google. They no longer recommended Google stocks to their clients, and even hacked Google. Many investors were willing to buy Google stocks before, but this time At this time, due to the influence of investment banks, they were all waiting and watching.

Of course, there is still some time before it is finally launched, and no one knows what the final outcome will be.

……

On the other hand, BenQ Mobile also released their latest mobile phone, the BenQ s3.

This generation of BenQ mobile phones does not give consumers much surprise. Apart from a thinner body, better signal, longer-lasting battery, and larger screen, there are no outstanding improvements.It can be said that this is an enhanced version of BenQ s2, and these enhancements just follow the times.

In the past two years, other brands of mobile phones have also made progress. These changes in BenQ mobile phones are also being made by other mobile phones. Everyone's screens are getting bigger, the body is getting thinner, and the battery is getting longer and longer, so these improvements of BenQ S3 can be seen It doesn't look anything special.

However, the current base of BenQ mobile phones is still music users, and they mainly rely on BenQ stores to attract consumers, so they are not worried about any sales problems.Now the users of the BenQ store have been well cultivated, so there is no need to worry about the loss of S3 due to lack of surprises.

In fact, if you look at the BenQ s3 alone, this phone is still good. The features of the music phone are quite outstanding, and it is worthy of the price of more than 5000. However, many people have said before that BenQ Mobile's new generation phone may be a smart phone, so Many consumers are looking forward to a smartphone from Deep Space Company.

But as a result, after the release of BenQ s3, there is no essential difference compared with BenQ s2, so it cannot meet the expectations of consumers.

[Aren’t you talking about smartphones?where is it? 】

[Yeah, I thought it was a smartphone. 】

[Ah, why do you think it is a smartphone? The official has never done any publicity in this regard. 】

[There is no official publicity, but Deep Space Company has been developing in this direction before. 】

[Even if it develops in this direction, it can't be so fast, right? It started last year and the finished mobile phone was released this year? 】

[Anyway, various previous news said that Deep Space Company was going to make a smartphone. 】

[Deep Space Company may make chips, but I don’t know whether it makes smartphones or not. 】

[I hope next year’s S4 will be a smartphone. 】

[Why are you obsessed with smartphones? The last time I played with my friend’s smartphone, it was not fun at all. 】

[Because other smartphones tend to stretch your legs, we hope BenQ Mobile can produce a smartphone that’s easy to use. 】

[Anyway, I think the new phone is very good and worth it. 】

[Oh, it’s really not bad, but I had high expectations. 】

[There should be no smartphones next year, and I haven’t heard any real news so far. 】

[If we were really developing a smartphone, how could we not announce the news? 】

[What I’m wondering now is, if they develop smartphones, will Symbian be used in the mobile phone system? 】

[I don’t know, why not use Symbian? Everyone is using it. 】

[Everyone is using it, but they can’t use it anymore. If they use it, won’t they be manipulated? 】

……

Although the expectations for the s3 are not too high, the sales volume is pretty good, a little higher than last year's s2. Of course, it still can't compare with those popular mobile phones, but the BenQ s3 is quite high, so it seems to be pretty good. Can.

In fact, the fact that BenQ Mobile is going to release a smartphone was promoted by other manufacturers.

Because these manufacturers know that BenQ Mobile will not be able to produce a smartphone this year, and it will not be until next year at the earliest. In this case, the publicity at this time will have the opposite effect.

These publicity raises consumers' higher expectations for the product, making it difficult to meet expectations later.
