Reborn Capital Empire

Chapter five hundred and seventy-eight of the company's future

…

After Guo Shouyun nodded, "Although 500 million people are watching a lot now, I'm afraid it won't be enough in a few years."

"Please rest assured, boss, that we will plan ahead based on the development of Facebook."

"Any decision should not only consider short-term effects, but also long-term development. This is especially true when it comes to major corporate decisions."

"clear!"

"continue!"

Tim George nodded and continued: "YouTube has now developed 14 versions including English, French, Chinese, etc., with a total of 112 million registered users. In the nearly two years since its establishment, it has included 4682.4 Ten thousand short videos. In 2003, YouTube’s revenue was $220 million, and its net income was $98.4 million. However, because of excessive investment in hardware equipment, it did not generate much capital surplus.”

"I saw Chen Shijun's report some time ago, YouTube is planning to enter the field of long videos?"

"Hmm! ... They are negotiating with Hollywood studios to get some classic film and television rights and open up a film and television area in the YouTube portal."

Guo Shouyun nodded. Whether it is a long video or a short video, there is a lot to do in the future, and YouTube will also have such a business in future generations. So he didn't mind Chen Shijun's decision.

"However, although I agree with YouTube's future development strategy, please remind Lao Chen for me that short videos are the essence of YouTube's business. He should not lose sight of one and the other, and lose our leading position in this field. Otherwise, I will ask him. "

"Yes!"

"continue!"

"…Ruby Mall, in 2003, the total transaction volume was 107.847 billion US dollars, the total revenue was 3.675 billion US dollars, the main business income was 2.834 billion US dollars, and the net profit was 875 million US dollars. The total liabilities were 1.876 billion US dollars, of which the current liabilities were 672 million US dollars. Among them, the commodities operated by the e-commerce platform already include 33 types of 17 categories including iron ore, oil, natural gas, electricity, coal, and copper mines, accounting for 54% of revenue; financial investments, including forward agreements, Short-term investment-based income accounted for 22%, and logistics income accounted for 24%.”

"In terms of logistics, as of now, Ruby Mall has a total capacity of 184,000 TEU, of which its own capacity accounts for 52.4%; 47 cargo planes, of which the self-owned rate is 71.3%; 37,000 various types of trucks, of which the self-owned rate 33.4%. At present, we lease or own 87 terminal berths and 212 warehouses in 31 countries around the world.”

Looking through the information in his hand, Guo Shouyun said: "Sure enough, the investment in logistics still occupies the bulk of the expenditure in the Ruby Mall."

"The development of logistics directly determines the speed and quality of goods arriving in the hands of buyers, and better and more convenient logistics can win more customers. Therefore, the development of Ruby Mall is the development of logistics. More than 75% of Ruby Mall All of our revenue has been invested in this area. However, unfortunately, we developed too late, and many good port berths and logistics units are occupied by Maersk and Mediterranean Shipping. Otherwise, we will definitely develop better.”

Guo Shouyun nodded in agreement.

"No matter what stage of Ruby's development, logistics will be a further constraint for us. Therefore, if we do not fundamentally change the current development model of Ruby Mall, this result will not change."

"The boss already has a plan in mind?"

"Yeah! ... But now is not the time to make changes. When the influence of the Ruby Mall is further improved, I will have a way!"

If Ruby Mall intends to build a logistics network that can cover the world entirely by itself, it may not be able to achieve it in a hundred years. Therefore, the best way is to follow Alibaba's example and use a company similar to "Cainiao Network" to centralize all bulk shipping companies into one network and open up their logistics information.

But to achieve such a goal, the current ruby ​​mall is far from enough. When it becomes the absolute No. 1 in the field of international bulk logistics and the transaction volume of Ruby Mall is large enough, it will be a good time to implement this plan.

Although Tim George was very curious about the development model that Guo Shouyun said to solve the ruby ​​dilemma, he didn't ask much when he saw that the big boss didn't say much. Having been by Guo Shouyun's side for many years, he already knew the temperament of this big boss very well. If you should know, you will take the initiative to tell him without asking. But if it's something you shouldn't know, he won't tell you if you ask.

After reading Guo Shouyun's information in his hand, "Boss, after the listing of LinkedIn, I am going to hold a celebration reception, are you still participating?"

"Of course! LinkedIn is the first company I founded. I don't have to participate in the roadshow, but I don't plan to miss the final listing."

"OK!"

"You arrange this matter, not too shabby, but not too luxurious."

"Yes!" Tim George nodded, glanced at him, and continued, "Boss, after LinkedIn goes public, the next listed subsidiary...?"

Guo Shouyun pondered for a moment, "Ruby Mall! In the second half of next year, start the listing roadshow of Ruby Mall, and strive to make it listed in the first half of 2005."

Although he intends to gradually list his companies to prepare funds for the future subprime mortgage crisis, if the listed company is too small, it will not play a big role. At present, among the many subsidiaries of the entire Ruby Company, in addition to LinkedIn, the most suitable and largest one is the Ruby Mall.

This e-commerce and logistics company that inherits from the essence of Enron Company~www.wuxiaspot.com~ has joined the logistics business of Pan Pacific Group, and now it has obtained a large amount of cash flow through financial investment and achieved leapfrog development. The strongest company with the most assets.

As for the future giants or big Internet companies such as Facebook and YouTube, it is still in the early stages of development. Whether it is scale or profitability, it is not as good as Ruby Mall. In particular, the latter has a clear profit model, healthy financial status, and a large amount of fixed assets, which is the most popular among many Wall Street investors.

"Then does it still need to raise money before going public?"

Guo Shouyun nodded after thinking about it.

"If there are some influential investment institutions and individuals in the shareholder list, it can also increase investors' confidence in us, which is of great benefit to the stability of the stock price of Ruby Mall after its listing."

"clear!"

Guo Shouyun stood up after putting down the information in his hand.

"Leave the information with me first. ... The time is almost up, you can stay with me and have lunch before leaving."

"Thank you boss, I have been thinking about your Chinese food when I came here!"

"It just so happened that I asked the back kitchen to prepare Mushu pork and spring onion squid rolls for you. Let's go!"

The two chatted and left the study.
