At this time, Tengxun suddenly announced that they were going public, and the financial market became even more lively.
Moreover, the listing model adopted by Tengxun is basically the same as that of Google. They also convened many investment banks to "select a concubine" together, and then conducted a Dutch auction.
But the difference is that the last time Google tried this trick, these investment banks were still a little resistant, but this time Tengxun tried it again, and they were used to it.
Investment banks are investment banks, and their adaptability is indeed very strong.
The key is that these investment banks have seen the situation clearly in a short period of time, and they understand that if they continue to maintain their posture as before, they will not even have soup in the future.
Take Google's IPO this time, because they were less involved in it, the commission they received was reduced by half, but at least they got the money.
Google's listing is so large that the commission ratio is smaller, but it can still make a lot of money, and with less participation, it means a lot less work. Even if you can't eat a mouthful of meat, you can at least chew some bones and drink some soup.
Look at Merrill Lynch, which chose to withdraw from this project before. It didn't make a dime, and now it's being slapped in the face. Many customers have questioned their professionalism, because many customers have made a lot less money this time.
money.
Some people say that in the financial market, not losing money means making money.
But in the eyes of most people, it should be the other way around. If you don't make money, it means losing money.
Some investment banks have learned to take the initiative to find companies.
Although Tengxun is not as large and well-known as Google, their situation is actually similar to Google's.
The first is the characteristics of the enterprise. Both companies are in the Internet industry. The second is the financial status of the company. Both companies are not short of money.
After Google went public and disclosed its company's financials, everyone realized that there was still $500 million lying on Google's books with no place to use it.
This means that they are not short of money at all, and they are not listed for money.
No one knows how much money Tengxun Company has on its account, but Tengxun will definitely not be short of money, because Tengxun can make a lot of money from just one drift bottle.
Tengxun's approach is very wild, and it can be said that it is completely different from other subsidiaries of Deep Space Company.
Other subsidiaries of the Deep Space Company, especially the Deep Space Computer, which has similar characteristics. The Deep Space Tribe and Dongdong they developed do not seem to be particularly utilitarian, and there are few places where users are defrauded of money, and the Deep Space Computer
The Deep Space Tribe and Dongdong are very strictly controlled, and any information related to pornography will be banned immediately.
Deep Space Computer has been committed to the development of network technology and the maintenance of the network environment.
But Facebook and Drift Bottle are not like this at all. They don't ignore it, but they turn a blind eye and let it grow wildly.
Because of this, although Facepi.com is a rising star, it is still developing very rapidly.
Some people describe Facebook as being like a virus that spreads very fast and cannot be stopped.
Especially drift bottles, which are now particularly popular among young people, and many young people rely on them to fall in love.
The drifting bottle can throw directional bottles, so many young men and women who want to "fall in love" will throw the bottle in their own city. If they meet someone who has the right taste, they will make an appointment for in-depth communication.
So much so that when many people think of drifting bottles, they think of "falling in love".
In daily life, if anyone says that he has thrown a drift bottle, 90% of others will think in a bad direction.
Moreover, there are many functions in the drift bottle that require money. For example, if you want to throw more bottles, you need to sign up for a membership.
If you want to add a good-looking skin to your bottle, you also need to sign up for a membership.
Tengxun itself will also accept some advertisements.
Ordinary users want to use bottles to advertise, but the effect is not particularly good because each person can throw very few bottles, and it is not easy for one person to register multiple accounts.
However, it is easy for Tencent to post advertisements themselves. They can send them in bulk in the background, and users cannot tell that these advertisements are officially posted. They will only think that they are posted by other users.
These practices of Facebook are very controversial, but the key is that they can make money.
Not only did they make a lot of money from a drift bottle, but they also transplanted many games and made money from the games.
Anyway, Facebook does everything to make money, not fame.
Tengxun doesn’t seem to care whether there will be a loss of users, because they will produce a variety of software, and many of the software will just kill a wave of users and then leave.
Anyway, Tengxun must have a lot of money in his hands now that he has not spent.
Many ordinary netizens are also paying attention to this matter. They are more concerned about whether Tengxun's listing will have an impact on them.
[Tengxun is going to be listed, will the control of drift bottles be stricter? 】
[It would be better if it were more strict. Now I often receive advertising drift bottles and some messy things.]
[Haha, if you don’t want to see the messy stuff, can you give it to me? I’ll bear it for you.]
[It’s strange, why didn’t I receive it? 】
[People who receive this kind of drift bottle should think about whether there is something wrong with them. 】
[What’s the problem? I haven’t done anything and I just pick up some garbage bottles every day.]
[I think the drift bottle is very good. My husband and I met through the drift bottle. We have been married for seven years now. 】
[Do you know how long it took for the drift bottle to come out? It’s still seven years.]
[My boyfriend and I are real. We met through a drift bottle half a year ago, and now we are ready to get engaged. 】
【Isn’t that too fast?】
【Love is here, nothing can stop it.】
【Why are you all so nice, yet I met a scumbag.】
[Why is Tengxun going public? Can anyone tell me?]
[Nonsense, of course you want to make money. After the listing, there will be a bunch of billionaires. 】
[The people who most want Tengxun to go public are the employees of Tengxun.]
[How much money can Deep Space Group make after Tengxun goes public?]
[This depends on the listing situation. If it is like Google, the valuation of Deep Space Group is estimated to be increased by more than one billion US dollars.]
[It’s more than a billion dollars. Now Google’s stock price is still slowly rising. It may rise to 170 US dollars this year. In this way, Google’s market value will reach more than 5 billion US dollars. 】
[Who knows how much money Deep Space will get after Google goes public?]
[They still hold close to 15% of the shares. If it can be calculated based on the market value of 5 billion U.S. dollars, then the shares held by Deep Space Company are worth 750 million U.S. dollars.]
[How much did they spend for these shares?]
[It is said that it is only tens of millions of US dollars, but it is definitely less than 100 million US dollars anyway.]
[Damn, deep space companies can really make money.]
[Is this the first time you know that deep space companies can make money?]
[If you open a consulting company in deep space, you will definitely make a fortune.]
[Why does Deep Space Company want to open a consulting company? Don’t they have a company to make money themselves? 】
[Yeah, they have money and people, so why do they do consulting?]
…
In fact, many people have discovered that the stocks purchased by Deep Space Company in recent years have slowly begun to appreciate in value.
Let’s not talk about Amazon’s sudden explosion. Everyone can’t understand the recent rise in its stock price. But for companies like Apple, its stock price is also rising steadily.
Someone has calculated for Deep Sky Company that if Deep Sky Company cashes out all their stocks now, because they used leverage before, they can now achieve hundreds of percent profits.
Even in this case, Deep Sky Company did not consider selling some of its stocks, and was even buying stocks of some Internet companies and other high-tech companies.
However, some people have discovered that Deep Space has now greatly slowed down the pace of buying stocks, and there has even been no movement in the stock market for a long time.
For a long time before, you could hear how many shares of which company Deep Space Company had purchased almost every one or two weeks.
Deep Space Company suddenly stopped on the stock market, which actually made financial practitioners nervous.
Deep Space Company stopped buying stocks. Is it because the stock market is going to have problems?
Could it be that Deep Space Company is about to withdraw?
Even because of this incident, many stocks experienced a small decline, but this decline will soon rise back up.
…
In fact, there is nothing wrong with the stock market, it's just that Deep Space is short of money.
The Deep Space Company is short of money. If this was told, no one would believe it.
Putting aside all the other businesses of Deep Space Company, just talking about books and film and television, the money Deep Space Company makes is terrifying.
In the past two years, Deep Space Company has basically dominated the movie box office list, which is a box office of billions of dollars a year.
Moreover, the box office is not the bulk of Deep Space Entertainment's profits. The subsequent royalties, CD sales, and peripheral sales generate annual sales of more than 10 billion U.S. dollars.
With such a terrifying ability to attract money, do you dare to say that Deep Space Company is short of money?
But in fact, the Deep Space Company is indeed short of money now.
They earn a lot and spend a lot. In the past two years, they have acquired many companies one after another, spent a lot of money, and saw that the cash bank was almost exhausted.
The key is that the amount of money they will invest in technology research and development will increase to a very exaggerated level.
R&D expenditures of at least a billion dollars a year are invisible.
Projects that the Deep Space Corporation has collaborated with several universities have recently started.
There is another thing that will cost Deep Space Company a lot of money. They are preparing to attack Motorola.
When Jimmy told Yu Dong that he was going to attack Motorola, Yu Dong was very surprised.
From Yu Dong's point of view, although Motorola is in decline now, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, so it doesn't mean that they can be attacked casually.
But Jimmy was very confident, and Deep Space Company only wanted to take over Motorola's mobile communications business.
The reason why we want to acquire Motorola's mobile communications business is because Motorola holds a large number of mobile communications patents, which is exactly what BenQ Mobile lacks.
When Android-based mobile phones are launched in the future, BenQ Mobile will definitely suffer if there is no patent in hand.
Therefore, Jimmy must plan in advance to create a solid patent barrier for BenQ Mobile so that they can seize the high ground in future competition.
In fact, Motorola seems to be doing well now, but it is already walking on a tightrope.
Chris Galvin announced his resignation last month, and the company's new CEO has not yet taken office.
Motorola hired a vice president in charge of Java development from Sun Microsystems some time ago and asked him to take charge of the development of the universal operating system for Motorola mobile phones.
Although Motorola is part of the Symbian family, they still hope to develop a smartphone system to help them dominate the world.
But unfortunately, Java has an inherent shortcoming, that is, it is too slow. Motorola will most likely not be able to solve this problem.
Even if it can be solved, I'm afraid it will take many years. If the day lily becomes cold in many years, not to mention Deep Space Company's Android system will be released by then, I'm afraid other manufacturers will not be vegetarians either.
Once Motorola discovered that this mobile operating platform was simply unachievable and that they had no further development in the mobile phone market, the situation quickly deteriorated.
At that time, Motorola has only two options. One is to package up and sell their mobile communications business, and the other is to support it with difficulty, and then let the mobile communications business drag down all other aspects of their business.
Jimmy believes that Motorola will definitely choose the former.
Now the Deep Space Company is also saving money, waiting for Motorola to have problems, and they will take decisive action.
Even if there is no opportunity in the past two years, this opportunity will appear after the Android system is released.
…
On October 2, in Yu Dong's office, after Jimmy told Yu Dong about Motorola's situation, he smiled and said, "There are more and more places to spend money."
"Well, there are more and more. Is the new energy laboratory we cooperate with Columbia University burning money recently?"
"They are okay, mainly because there is no big progress. The robotics laboratory has the least money, with an average of at least two million US dollars per month."
"That's not bad, it's only 24 million US dollars a year."
"At least...it is estimated that it will cost 50 million US dollars this year."
"Fifty million US dollars is not bad."
Jimmy raised his finger, "You are really wealthy. You spend 50 million US dollars a year on R&D. It's okay here. Don't look at the R&D costs of hundreds of millions of dollars every year by technology companies. Our situation is different.
, we are just a laboratory, and it is relatively simple to calculate R&D expenses.”
But Yu Dong does think that the R&D expenses of 50 million US dollars a year are not bad, and the robotics laboratory is not making no money now, they can still sell some money to supplement their family income.
