Chapter 1640 Harvest Season
At 7 p.m. US time on May 17, Menlo Park, California.
Facebook held an overnight "hackathon" programming competition at its headquarters, and many Facebook employees stayed up late to participate.
When Zuckerberg rang the bell of Facebook, programmers who had not slept all night were shocked to realize that their company had been listed, and they all became millions or even billionaires.
The magic of money creates a miracle that shocks the world.
In the United States, millions or even tens of millions of ordinary people may have never touched stocks in their lives, but they all know that Facebook, which has 900 million users worldwide, has been listed.
Tan Xiaotian was a little depressed. In order to witness Zuckerberg ringing the bell, he came to New York. Unexpectedly, this kid didn't play according to common sense and actually rang the bell at his headquarters in California.
Facebook's opening price is $42.05, up 10.6% from the issue price of $38. The market value is about $115.217 billion based on the opening price, which is almost exactly the same as Selena predicted.
After the stock market closed on the 18th, people on Wall Street were almost talking about it. The biggest winner of Facebook listing was naturally Zuckerberg, and the second biggest winner was definitely TL Investment.
Eight years ago, Selena went to Boston and convinced Zuckerberg, who was a Harvard student at the time, to get 21% of Facebook shares for a total price of $10.5 million. Now the valuation of this shares is 24 billion. This investment is destined to become the most prominent in Wall Street's history. TL Investment has also been rated as the greatest company on Wall Street in the 21st century, no doubt about it.
Selena got off work on time as usual, returned to the manor, cooked dinner with Lee Yeon-hee, and had dinner with Tan Xiaotian and chatted with her two daughters, just like usual.
However, after the two daughters slept, Selena said seriously to Tan Xiaotian: "Husband, tl investment has finally reached the season for the beginning of harvest."
This year, Facebook will be listed, and next year, Twitter, which was invested in before, plans to go public, as well as the oil pipes they invested a few years ago and many potential companies... It can be said that in the next few years, TL investment will be a golden period of explosive growth in wealth. At that time, they will worry that they will not be able to spend it.
****Tan Xiaotian stayed with his daughter for another three days, and then took a plane back to Rochester.
My father's condition continues to develop in a better direction. The weekly physical examination tracking shows that there are fewer and fewer cancer cells in his body, which shows that gene therapy is completely suitable for him.
Tan Xiaotian stayed in Rochester for a week. Just as he was about to return to China, his sister Wang Guo and brother-in-law Mu Yan came from Boston.
It turned out that my brother-in-law Mu Yan had completed his doctoral degree and was now preparing to find a job in the United States. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he and Wang Guo came to visit Tan Yuejin.
Tan Xiaotian and Mu Yan had a few chats.
He had a very good impression of this brother-in-law. When he learned that Mu Yan had received interview invitations from Google, Amazon and many companies at the same time, he said a few more words.
"Mu Yan, your research direction is artificial intelligence. The United States is still very advanced in this regard. As far as I know, Google's research direction is in language translation and visual processing, and Amazon focuses on the field of robot development. You can have a focus on choices."
Mu Yan nodded, "Thank you, Brother Xiaotian. Actually, I have a target company. My major is language, so I prefer Google. If the interview is successful, I will choose Google."
Mu Yan's words reminded Tan Xiaotian of something. He lived in Rochester for a few more days before flying back to China.
He did not return to Yanjing, but went directly to the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
Because he remembered that there is also a very excellent artificial intelligence company in China that has a leading position in speech recognition, which is Huizhou and Fei Keda Xunfei Company.
Shanghai Stock Exchange, Tiantan Investment Branch.
Tan Xiaotian met Chu Ting and told her about Keda Xunfei, and told her to find ways to contact this company and strive for investment.
Chu Ting has always been diligent in his work. She immediately said that she would take someone to go there in person tomorrow.
After talking about the main business, Chu Ting's face turned red and he asked in a low voice: "Where are you tonight?"
When she saw Tan Xiaotian's smiling expression, she felt embarrassed and hurriedly explained, "Don't get me wrong. My parents have been living in Tangchen Yipin, so I asked you."
"Then I'll live in Tianmao."
Tan Xiaotianda didn't want to see Lin Wanhong from the bottom of his heart. When he heard the news, he immediately expressed his opinion.
"Okay, I'll call my mother and say I'll work overtime tonight and won't go back."
Chu Ting hurried out of the office.
Meng Jieyin from the Shanghai Branch stood outside, waiting to report her work to Tan Xiaotian.
"Mr. Chu, what's wrong with your face?
So red!”
Meng Jieyin glanced at Chu Ting strangely.
"Oh, it's a bit hot."
Chu Ting was embarrassed, answered perfunctorily and ran back to the office.
Tan Xiaotian arranged a new task and she wanted to check the relevant information.
Meng Jieyin looked at Chu Ting's back, and her eyes showed an envious look.
She asked what she said just now on purpose. She had been together with Chu Ting for so many years, and the relationship between Chu Ting and Tan Xiaotian had already reached her ears.
"Hey, I'm not bad in fact. Why can't the boss see me?"
She thought for a few seconds, calmed down and reached out to knock on the door.
"Come in!"
Tan Xiaotian's voice came out.
Meng Jieyin held the folder, took a deep breath, and walked into the office.
"Mr. Tan, I'll report to you about your work."
Meng Jieyin handed the folder to Tan Xiaotian.
Tan Xiaotian slowly started to look at it. After a few minutes, he began to ask: "The profit in the last quarter was good! The revenue reached 12 billion in three months."
"Yes, mainly because of the popularity of "King" has increased the company's revenue."
Meng Jieyin looked at Tan Xiaotian and said carefully: "Mr. Tan, I have an immature suggestion. I don't know if it should be said or not?"
"Say it! It's a good thing to have suggestions."
Tan Xiaotian raised his head and stared at Meng Jieyin.
He transferred Ruan Si to form Xinjing Energy, and his secretary position was vacant. Zhan Zhiyun recruited three women through public recruitment. Unexpectedly, these three women have now become generals under his command.
Xiong Yun became his secretary, now the administrative director of Xiaowei Technology. Meng Jieyin was the boss of Tiantan Film and Television in the first place, and later exchanged with Sun Li to become the head of the Shanghai branch. Zhan Jiatian initially served as secretary for Zhan Zhiyun, and later established Yunshang Big Data and was sent to partner with Han Zidong.
The three of them are all very capable talents, and they are developing very well now.
Tan Xiaotian attaches great importance to Meng Jieyin's suggestions.
"Sit down and say, drink water."
Tan Xiaotian got up and took out two bottles of Fusi mineral water from the refrigerator and handed her a bottle.
"Mr. Tan, our Tianyou company's revenue has reached new highs year by year, from more than one billion a year to tens of billions, to tens of billions, and two hundred billion. It is estimated that it will reach 40 billion this year, and the company's scale is getting bigger and bigger..." Meng Jieyin was obviously prepared and said that these data are easy to use.
"But we cannot poach all the game talents across the country. I noticed that there are many excellent games emerging in the game market now, but those companies are relatively small in scale and we are rich in cash now. If we take advantage of this opportunity to acquire some excellent companies, I think it is a good thing for Tianyou's future."
Meng Jieyin took out another piece of paper, "This is the result of my research on the current game market. It lists some game companies that I think are promising. Please review them all."
Tan Xiaotian took it and took a few glances, immediately took out a pen and drew under several games, because he saw many familiar names on this piece of paper, such as "Defending Sweet Potatoes" and "Happy Love Elimination".
(Some games appeared after 2012, so readers don’t have to take it seriously.
) These are small games with more than 100 million downloads in the future, which shows that Meng Jieyin has put in the effort.
