Chapter 2238 Find a social networking site
"Come on, Bu'er, call daddy... Oh, mommy forgot that you can't speak yet, then cry to him... cluck..."
Xiao Qi felt funny and warm in his heart when he listened to the slightly hoarse girl's voice on the phone.
Oh, talking about girls is a bit inappropriate.
Tang Mingxiang and Xiao Qi are of the same year, and are only about three months younger than Xiao Qi. Although she is only 21 years old this year, she is already a mother. Naturally, she cannot be called a girl, but a young woman.
appropriate.
Now that Tang Mingxiang is still in the United States, the person she is holding next to the phone and making a "baaaaah" sound is naturally Xiao Qi's second daughter Bu'er.
But Bu'er is only over a month old, so how can she talk?
So she was just being teased by her mother, and by the way, she was also used to tease her father.
However, Tang Mingxiang was not too proud. After a while, she exclaimed and put the phone aside. When she picked up the phone, there was another sucking sound coming from the phone.
"Your daughter is going to nurse again." Tang Mingxiang said to Xiao Qi with a smile, "The little one has no worse appetite than Chui Chui. Fortunately, your wife has enough capital. If it were Xiaocai, she would definitely be in tears.
Look for milk powder, hahaha..."
Xiao Qi pretended that he didn't hear what this girl said and would never answer her.
Tang Mingxiang didn't mean to target Huangfucai. After joking, she turned to the topic, "Husband, the stock market in the United States is not doing well recently. Do you think I should calm down and stop investing?"
Xiao Qi was very familiar with Tang Mingxiang. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "What? Is there any new project that you find interesting?"
After Xiao Meiji repurchased Cho Girl's shares, she only had 3 billion US dollars left on hand. Of course, it was not enough for Cho Girl to continue to expand and develop, so Xiao Qi prepared 10 billion US dollars for her in Citibank.
At present, funds are still abundant.
Tang Mingxiang has a total of three big industries, and it goes without saying that the erotic girl is her favorite and the one she spends the most money on so far.
Tang Mingxiang bought another B2C website specializing in Zappos shoes for more than two years. He only invested an additional two to three hundred million in the beginning. Now, with the efforts of the founding team, it has developed rapidly and has business all over the United States.
Lower 49 states.
In 2008, Zappos's turnover exceeded US$1.4 billion, far exceeding its previous year's turnover of US$900 million.
Because of this, JPMorgan Chase valued Zappos at US$2.3 billion, which was much higher than the US$1.2 billion they sold to Amazon this year.
The third industry is the most valuable, but the one that Tang Mingxiang doesn’t have to worry about the least, is the face wave.
FaceBook can be said to be the most attention-grabbing Internet company in the United States, just like Google seven or eight years ago.
With the financial support of Tang Mingxiang, Facebook has surpassed the trajectory of its previous life. In 2008, it defeated its old rival, Myspace, and its number of users exceeded 190 million ahead of schedule, becoming the world's number one social networking site.
Zuckerberg is indeed talented. When he has money to expand, he is bold and fast, allowing Facebook to always walk on the right path.
But Zuckerberg has a big shortcoming...well, it can't be said to be a shortcoming. It's a small problem that all successful people have, and that is the tendency to grab power.
Zuckerberg will not tolerate anyone telling him what to do. The decisions he makes must be implemented and rarely change.
Therefore, even if Tang Mingxiang holds 40% of the shares of FaceBook, she has no chance to show off her skills in FaceBook.
Of course, this is also the reason why Tang Mingxiang is not interested in controlling Facebook.
But Tang Mingxiang is still very happy seeing that the market value of Facebook OK has increased by more than 40%.
And she has already seen that if Facebook OK continues to develop at the current speed, it may be possible to realize Zuckerberg's dream of "connecting the world", and thus achieve what her husband said, with a market value of more than 200 billion US dollars.
Sky-high price!
Although Cho-Girl will definitely develop and grow, the market value of 200 billion US dollars is beyond the reach of Cho-Girl.
Tang Mingxiang thinks it's great to have such an influential and huge Internet empire.
"Yes, there is an entrepreneurial team that has been calling me these days. I almost cursed them." Tang Mingxiang said helplessly, "But after taking a closer look at their creativity and operation model, I think it is quite interesting.
.”
"What company?"
"Tagged, have you heard of it? It is also a social networking website."
"Oh, it's them." Xiao Qi laughed, "I've heard of it, it's a very good social networking site with unique features."
Tagged is not well-known now, but it will be very famous in the future. It will be one of the top ten social networking sites in the United States in the future, and it is also the only social networking site that overlaps with Facebook users, but can develop well.
Other American social networking sites, with the exception of MySpace, which is strongly supported by News Corporation, are either professional social networking sites like LinkedIn or highly targeted sites like Yammer. They all need differentiated development to gain a foothold in the market.
The success of tagged is that it captures the group under 16 years old that is ignored by Facebook.
Facebook wave OK was first launched at Harvard University, so its development is from college students over 18 years old, attracting young people aged 18-38, and capturing this group of users, it will capture the entire
The backbone of society, so the dominance of face wave OK is unshakable.
The way tagged survives is that it captures the 16-12-year-old youth group in European and American countries, and the loyalty it gets from this group is very high, so it can be the same type as face wave, but there is no need to worry about becoming face wave.
The cannon fodder in the development and growth of ok has been able to develop very smoothly.
Children aged 16-12 love nothing more than novelties, making friends with all kinds of interesting people, bragging and playing games together with like-minded people... This kind of online environment is what tagged can create for them.
, and is the best at creating this kind of environment.
In the future, tagged will even go a step further and target users in the 35-49 age group that Face Wave OK does not include. Once again, it has achieved success, and thus it is still chasing Face Wave OK.
However, compared with the popularity of face wave OK, tagged’s valuation has never been high. In 2012, it was only about 600 million US dollars.
You must know that at that time, tagged claimed to have 300 million users.
Well, the main reason for this neglect is that among the 300 million users, the number of monthly active users has not reached 50 million, which is much worse than Facebook OK.
But it is undeniable that tagged does have a very distinctive and unique feature, so Xiao Qi gave it the most reasonable valuation range, which is about 3 billion US dollars.
But reaching 3 billion US dollars will only happen in at least five or ten years.
Now tagged has just encountered the most serious financial crisis, and even Facebook’s valuation growth has slowed down a lot, let alone tagged, a social networking site that currently has less than 100 million users.
They asked Tang Mingxiang for financing, apparently because of insufficient development funds.
"As expected, you have heard of it." The bright girl smiled happily, "They are now encountering difficulties in their development, so they are looking for investors everywhere. And because my Mingxiang Venture Capital successfully owned 40% of the shares of Facebook, it was also
They were eyeing it and insisted on asking me to invest in them."
"What is their own valuation? How much do they want to get?" Xiao Qi asked.
"Oh~~Xiao Qi! Your daughter is so strong, she is such a greedy girl!" Tang Mingxiang suddenly exclaimed, with a deep smile in her voice.
Xiao Qi imagined the scene on the other side of the phone and felt a warm feeling in his heart, "Xiao Xiang'er, when summer comes, you'd better bring Bu'er back as soon as possible!"
"No, you want to come over and see our mother and daughter~~" Tang Mingxiang chuckled and continued: "tagged hopes to get 20 million yuan in financing, and Mingxiang Venture Capital can get 5% of their shares."
"That's high." Xiao Qi shook his head, "Let's see, you invest 100 million US dollars in them and ask for 40% of their shares. If you don't want to, forget it. They are not the only good company."
"Yes, I'll note it down." Tang Mingxiang pressed her finger lightly. She trusted her man's vision very much.
Except for the erotic girl, which she is interested in running, the rest of the company is just an investment. It is private money left for Bu'er and her younger brothers and sisters, so there is no need to worry about it.
After talking about the business, Bu'er, who had just eaten and drank, was teased by her mother again, asking her to interact with her father.
As a result, the little girl was offended, and she burst into tears.
Listening to his wife coaxing the little girl over there, and the mother-in-law coming to her again and scolding her daughter, Xiao Qi felt warm in his heart and wished he could fly to the United States immediately to join his wife and daughter.
In the meantime, play with them.
