Top of the Great Era

Chapter 2209 More money and less money are numbers
Next, there is another highlight, Ziwei Star Global.

The prospectus has been issued.

As an entertainment giant that has led the global film market in the past two years, its expected market value will reach 1000 billion US dollars. Zhou Buqi can surpass Bill Gates to be on the Forbes rich list this year, which is the most critical factor.

Because it is about to go public, it can have a more accurate wealth valuation.

Sun Guanran said: "The current shareholding is 26%. It is expected that the overall shareholding will be diluted by 10% during the IPO. We still have about... 23% left!"

They are all integers, so there is no need for a calculator. Wu Yu wrote down the figure of 230 billion in a small notebook.

220 billion + 96 billion + 282 billion + 230 billion...

That's already $828 billion!

Already more than 100 billion US dollars more than "Forbes" statistics!

Wu Yu's mood fluctuated, so excited!

Really fun!

This is just the beginning!

Next, Sun Guanran talked about Ziweixing Digital Media, which is going to go public, even two months earlier than Ziweixing Global's expected listing time.

"Ziweixing Digital Media will be listed in London. According to the application for the issue price in the prospectus, the market value after the IPO can reach 120 billion pounds..."

Sun Guanran looked at Zhou Buqi and asked him if the data was accurate.

Zhou Buqi nodded, "It depends on the development of Goal's mobile app this year, but it doesn't matter, the difference is not big, it seems that my shareholding is not too much?"

Sun Guanran nodded lightly, "Well, Ziweixing International mainly holds the shares indirectly. Personally, only 10% is held, and 20% is left after 8% dilution."

Ning Lu said softly: "That's not a lot. The exchange rate between the British pound and the US dollar seems to be 1.3. Let me calculate... about 12.5 billion US dollars."

"That's all?"

After hearing the exaggerated figure of tens of billions of dollars just now, Wu Yu couldn't even arouse any interest in hearing the value of holding shares of 12.5 billion dollars.

Zhou Buqi hugged her in his arms, patted her on the leg lightly, and said with a smile, "Remember it! More than a billion dollars are not considered money anymore? Isn't your tone too loud?"

Wu Yu smiled and looked up at Sun Guanran, "Go on, go on! Go on!"

Sun Wanran looked down at the materials and picked one, "Esta, I personally hold 8% of the shares, um... what is the valuation of Esta?"

Zhou Buqi said: "500 billion US dollars!"

Sun Guanran hesitated for a moment, a little hesitant, "Is it really that tall?"

Zhou Buqi said: "The acquisition of Motorola has been completed and all parties have approved it. Isn't that enough? It's just high but not low! In two or three years, the valuation will double!"

Ning Lu whispered: "Then let's calculate it with 500 billion US dollars, 8% is 40 billion US dollars."

"This is fine."

Wu Yu shook his head and was very satisfied.

Next, there is Netflix.

This case is spectacular.

Although the overall performance of the global IT market is relatively sluggish, there are always a few companies whose stocks are particularly gratifying, and Netflix is ​​definitely the most eye-catching stock.

In two years, it has increased by 13 times!
When Zhou Buqi first became a shareholder three years ago, Netflix’s market value was only more than one billion US dollars, and it was still in the transition stage from DVD disc rental business to online streaming media business.

Not so now.

Netflix's market value has reached 264 billion US dollars!
The soaring stock price mainly comes from several nodes——

[-]. Successful transformation from disc rental business to streaming media business;
Second, the strategic cooperation between Netflix and Ziweixing International;
[-]. Ziweixing Global made a strategic investment in Netflix, and authorized most of the film library copyright to Netflix's streaming media platform;
Fourth, Netflix will deepen its cooperation with Ziweixing International. Netflix will join the big membership system that Ziweixing International will launch and become a core product;
Fifth, Netflix launched a self-made drama strategy;

Sixth, the American drama "The Lord of the Rings" series produced by MGM will premiere on Netflix, and the broadcast date of the first season is expected to be in May 2013;

Seventh, Netflix’s self-produced drama House of Cards became popular all over the world after its launch, becoming a representative work of online dramas in the new era and driving the trend of self-produced dramas in the global streaming media market;

Eighth, HBO's hit American drama "Game of Thrones", the streaming media copyright is owned by Ziwei Star Universal, and authorized to Netflix for exclusive broadcasting;

Nine, this is the latest move. Netflix has completed the acquisition of Dark Horse Comics. Next, it will try to learn Marvel’s strategy and strive to create a dark horse comics American drama world...

Under the guidance of Zhou Buqi, Netflix has stepped on the best development point of the times in almost every step, and every move will cause carnival in the capital market.

Then the stock price soared all the way and kept rising, and it has become the biggest star stock on Nasdaq.

When Sun Guanran mentioned Netflix, he was very happy because it was an investment project rather than a start-up project. "The initial investment in Netflix was mainly divided into two stages. The first stage was to spend 4.26 million US dollars and buy 1891.8 million shares; The second stage is to spend 4.2 million US dollars and buy 963 million shares, holding a total of 2854 million shares, accounting for 46.3% of the total share capital. Now the market value of Netflix is ​​264 billion US dollars, quickly calculate..."

Ning Lu's fingers were already flying, and she quickly reported the result, "122 billion US dollars."

Wu Yu happily recorded.

so happy!

Zhou Buqi was a little surprised, "Didn't the shares split? Did I remember wrong?"

Sun Guanran smiled and said, "It was split two years ago, 1 for 10. So the 2854 million shares we hold are actually 2.85 million shares now. The current stock price is over $42."

Next, there are Tesla and Changyou.

However, Tesla's current market value is too low, only a few billion US dollars. Although Zhou Buqi's shareholding exceeds 25%, the calculated value is only 16 billion US dollars.

Changyou mainly relies on the indirect shareholding of Ziweixing and Ziweixing International, and the personal holdings are almost negligible.

The current value of the remaining clubs is not too high.

The global sports industry has not really exploded.

Zhou Buqi gave a total valuation of 20 billion US dollars.

Wu Yu turned into a Mr. Accountant, made a summary calculation, then raised his hands high, and cheered like a celebration: "The total is 1038.5 billion U.S. dollars! This is still a conservative estimate, and it still doesn't include all the industries! Wow, wow, too much!" incredible!"

Zhou Buqi smiled, "Okay, after the calculation is over, pack it up quickly."

Wu Yu stood up and looked at him strangely, "Honey, why aren't you excited?"

Zhou Buqi said: "It's all numbers, who cares about this."

Wu Yujiao smiled and said, "I have a sense of accomplishment!"

"What sense of accomplishment does making money have?" Zhou Buqi shook his head, "It's better to marry more wives."

Wu Yu blinked her eyes a few times, "By the way, my husband, Yameng and I, as well as Shi Jingmei's shareholding in Chaowan Commune, are also counted, and it's a huge sum..."

Zhou Buqi laughed and said, "It's all under your name, why count it in?"

Wu Yu said nonchalantly: "It's all yours in the first place, and we all belong to you. Doesn't the money also belong to you?"

Zhou Buqi was always quite satisfied with Senior Sister Wu's personal awareness, but he didn't quite agree with her words, "What, Shi Jingmei has nothing to do with our family..."

"Ah?" Wu Yu was a little surprised, her beautiful eyes widened, "Didn't you take her down?"

Zhou Buqi said angrily: "Take a fart! Hurry up and go back to take a shower. It's nothing to do with it. You're asking me to see how I take it!" Looking at Sun Guanran who was next to him, he gloated, and snorted coldly: "You two go too, no one else. want to run!"

After driving all three of them away, Zhou Buqi finally calmed down. Next, he will participate in a domestic video conference, mainly to explain the current development of mobile Internet in China.

The specifications are very high, and all senior executives of the group participated.

The initiator of the meeting was Liu Qing. When she looked at this emerging industry from the perspective of investment, she saw many unsatisfactory aspects.

"In the past two years, a number of venture capitals have launched a fishing-like investment in this field, and have created a number of round A or B rounds, but hardly found a company with the potential to go public. These startups In the reality of capital shortage and financing hopelessness, it is almost impossible for investors to successfully exit through high-priced mergers and acquisitions.”

"Most of these domestic mobile Internet companies are 'three noes' companies with no revenue, no business model, and no assets, and have little acquisition value. Especially for some large companies, the cost of copying a product is far lower than acquisition. In this case, why do the giants choose to acquire rather than copy quickly?"

"In the past two months of this year, venture capital institutions have invested only US$1.1 million in the domestic Internet industry, which is a full 8.7% less than the US$87 million in the same period last year."

"However, this year's wave of mergers and acquisitions is even more violent. These are from some successful companies, not mobile Internet start-ups, such as the merger of Youku and Tudou, such as the acquisition of Fengxing by Bestcom..."

Liu Qing spoke for 10 minutes first.

Mainly talked about the entrepreneurial dilemma of the current domestic mobile Internet industry.

At this stage, it is really difficult to find a profit model and let capital institutions see hope for the future with just one app.

Some excellent apps have become more of the dishes in the bowls of giants.

What strategy will Ziweixing adopt next?
Is it to narrow the scope of venture capital investment?
If you have this money to invest in others, it is better to use the money to copy and plagiarize, and you can spend less money to do bigger things.

Of course, these are trivial matters.

Because of some products, it is difficult for even technology giants to copy and plagiarize.

Just like UC browser.

Making a mobile browser is actually an open source solution, which is too easy, let alone a giant company, even a few college students can come up with it.

However, it is very difficult to make a product with brand value that can be favored by users.

Baidu has officially contacted Ziweixing.

Want to initiate an acquisition of UC Group.

Zhou Buqi didn't think it was a good idea, "Baidu? Can Baidu afford it? The best choice is Microsoft! What's going on with Microsoft recently, have you paid attention?"

Liu Qing said: "Microsoft is a giant, with many directions for layout. Recently, it is busy launching an acquisition, and wants to buy the enterprise-level social network service provider Yammer... The total value may be more than one billion US dollars. Microsoft is now I put all my energy on this case, and shelved my attitude towards UC."

"Yammer?"

Zhou Buqi was slightly taken aback.

Then he quickly opened his mailbox and found an email in English... Sure enough, it was sent by Yammer's board of directors.

Skillful!

Ziweixing International is an investor in Yammer. It raised 300 million US dollars in the A round and got 20% of the shares. The B round led another 500 million US dollars... The total shares reached 28%.

If Microsoft wants to acquire Yammer, it must first pass the boss of Zhou.

From this point of view, Zhou Buqi has to get involved as soon as possible, so that Microsoft can shift its focus to UC Group as soon as possible.
