Most of the internal affairs are still under Wen Xiaoguang's control. In addition to Weituan, Meituan continues to approach Alibaba. However, what made Wen Xiaoguang frequently start to flood the Internet was not the secret battles between this industry.

But the news that whatsapp was acquired from the other side of the ocean.

Whatsapp was established in 2009, with 50 employees, 32 engineers, and 0 sales staff.

This company, which started with almost the same software as Weituo, has completely embraced the spirit of craftsmanship. It is obviously waiting for acquisition, but they can still be sold at high prices. Putting aside the future prospects and the factors that Facebook considers to fall into competitors, the most basic elements are two.

1. Whatsapp is positive cash flow. The company has more than 8 million US dollars in its account and does not expand. It is to maintain this small software. If Facebook does not acquire it, it can continue to maintain it, with a cost of only 1 million US dollars a year.

2. Google is bidding. In February 2014, the outside world was not clear about how big the role Google played, but as an Internet giant that is several times stronger than Facebook, Google naturally saw the potential of whatsapp and also offered a price.

Wen Xiaoguang holds 21% of the shares, and at least the people around him know about this. At this time, Chen Bei and Wen Chunjing have already flew to the United States.

And some people in the company are worried.

People care about that big sum of money.

Wen Xiaoguang could hear people talking in and out, even executives like Li Yidan and Li Wenbo did not say that they would not take it seriously at all. They would ask.

The outside world says the acquisition price is very high, is this true?

"I found an accident a few years ago. At that time, I was very confident in instant messaging and had hundreds of millions of dollars in my hand, so I generously invested a little. Koum was a little stingy, otherwise I would add more."

In fact, there is no way to go. If he wants to acquire it, one is that his strength is not allowed, and the other is that the US government does not allow it. If there are many shares, he will be the main stakeholder at that time, and Coom and Sequoia Capital will hide behind him.

Li Yidan and Li Wenbo had very special expressions on their faces. They were obviously shocked by the acquisition price.

“When will it be achieved?”

Wen Xiaoguang said calmly: "It's almost done, it takes one or two weeks. In fact, it's not all money, most of them are Facebook stocks."

Li Wenbo may not pay attention, but Li Yidan blurted out, "Last year, Facebook's stock price was at its lowest price of $23, but now it has risen to $68, with a market value of 1,700, and the stock will rise more."

"That's no difference. If I add more money, my life won't change much."

Li Wenbo doesn't think so, "This number is too big, and there will definitely be various discussions outside. If you think it's nothing, you really think it's nothing? No, we have to deal with it."

"What to deal with?" Li Yidan asked in confusion.

In fact, Wen Xiaoguang knew it. He smiled and said, "It is easy to get money but difficult to spend money. In our social atmosphere, we suddenly made so much money but didn't donate anything. We just spent it for ourselves. That is, I, Wen Xiaoguang, have ugly morality."

On the morning of February 21, 2014, before eight o'clock, smartphone users were awakened by messages pushed by major media apps.

Even without Wen Xiaoguang's participation, the price of $19 billion is shocking enough, which is considered good news. What's more, Wen Xiaoguang is making a lot of profits now.

In order to stimulate attention, the media directly wrote the number 3.99 billion US dollars on.

In fact, there is not that much tax on investment income.

And it's not all cash. $4 billion of the $19 billion is cash, and what's left is some stocks and restricted equity.

Wen Xiaoguang received a lot of cash because he would not work in Facebook, and basically whatsapp employees would join. The parent company obviously hoped that they would get some stocks so that they could do their best for the company.

The rich people know that the poor will soon become rich, and they will immediately float away. 50 people will pay them all. Do you believe it or not? Whatsapp will become a party ocean immediately, and all the cannons can play with it.

Who has the heart to work?

Of course, it will also refer to Sequoia Capital and its needs that are not capital.

Now Facebook's stock price is on the rise, and you will suffer a loss by taking cash.

But no matter what, public opinion had exploded this morning.

Wen Xiaoguang was shocked by a gift pack from the sky, and many people were stunned and jealous. He was the top of the hot searches on Weibo and the hot searches on the headlines. Wen Xiaoguang also knew what the content was.

Similar hype has become an old routine, and the huge wealth is still unmarried, so it's crazy.

But this Friday morning, Wen Xiaoguang just appeared in the company as usual.

Then Wen Xiaoxiao's call, obviously, she had just woken up and was on the way to work.

"I haven't read much, but I've written a little bit differently," Wen Xiaoguang said as he walked, "but it's basically too much."

"Excited?"

"Fortunately, I can't do anything."

"Why are you pretending to be calm? I want to beat you to death!"

Wen Xiaoguang hung up the phone, walked into the elevator and saw himself in the mirror, and he laughed.

This is what should be laughed at, from the bottom of my heart. Small money can't make him excited, but this time it's a bit different.

Not only Wen Xiaoxiao, but also those who were familiar with him were shocked to their entire chin. Lu Qin suddenly remembered when discussing with others, "In this way, he has steadily exceeded 10 billion. This guy... I already feel a little scary!"

In fact, US stocks have been rising rapidly in recent years. The 800 million yuan of funds that were not capital operations were now a astronomical figure.

Moreover, they still hold original shares of companies such as Uber, so the actual assets there are only 10 billion, not to mention Wen Xiaoguang's own net worth is presented on paper because of the micro-drawing.

To put it this way, it's scary.

"Mr. Wen, congratulations."

Wen Xiaoguang ran into Zhang Nan from the X Business Unit in the company early in the morning. Like many people, she knew about the matter. The congratulations she said at this time are self-evident.

"Thank you." Wen Xiaoguang called someone to call Shi Jianhua to his office.

He was a little amused and cried. When he saw Shi Jianhua, he said, "This news in the morning has ignited our company. Look at the outside, are there anyone working wholeheartedly?"

Shi Jianhua stood opposite him with one hand in his pants pocket, "Good events, naturally everyone is happy. What are you going to do?"

"What can I do? I can't give money, right? If you send money without a name, it is a taboo in management."

Shi Jianhua said: "That's right, but I think it can make everyone feel happy. The first month has not passed yet. And this may only be the only time in your life. Besides, you have a good reputation, so why don't you do anything this time? Isn't cold treatment extinguishing everyone's enthusiasm?"

"How to get happy?"

Shi Jianhua thought about it... This is a good question.

"You can't seem to be too nouveau riche or too rough. It's really not advisable to pay money directly. It feels too rustic. Weituo has 10,000 employees..."

Wen Xiaoguang directly rejected it, "Ten millions are a trivial matter, but if you can't pay money, it's hard to hear the news. What you say is happy, you have to think of a good idea."

Shi Jianhua was so amused that I didn’t pay the money, and in the end the trouble caused me to be on the head.
