reborn star rich man
Chapter 104: Charge Xin. Wasteful Protection Fees
Cao Guowei saw Wu Yue sitting next to him calmly and calmly, not feeling any discomfort, and he nodded secretly.
Sina is one of the four major portals in China, with a market value of more than 2 billion US dollars, and he is the helmsman of this giant ship. Many people will feel a little restrained when meeting him, but Wu Yue completely treats him as an ordinary person.
.
But thinking about Wu Yue's attitude towards US$100 million, he felt relieved.
He came from the capital to see Wu Yue, partly because of Wu Yue's arrogance.
Throughout China, there are not many people who have such heroic spirit, and there are even fewer people who have such heroic spirit in their twenties.
Wu Yue felt Cao Guowei's gaze and said with a smile: "Mr. Cao came here this time for some gambling?"
Cao Guowei smiled and said: "I have this consideration, and I also want to get to know you, a young man who has not made a name for ten years and has become a blockbuster."
If he had not been reborn, Wu Yue might have remained a moderately successful investor throughout his life, but his rebirth made him suddenly shine.
Naturally, Wu Yue couldn't say it was because of his rebirth. He smiled and said: "I am not a genius. I just discovered that I have some talents in finance after being exposed to the financial market."
Cao Guowei also agrees with Wu Yue's statement. Many people become famous after finding a field in which they are good at. They are not magical, but they have amazing talents in a certain field.
"You are so humble. You can make tens of millions in a month with hundreds of thousands. This is not some talent, but an amazing talent."
Wu Yue said with a smile: "I have also invested some for others, and I will get a commission after making profits. I can't make tens of millions in a month with just a few hundred thousand."
"That's pretty awesome."
Cao Guowei smiled and said: "But what surprises me more is your arrogance in spending money like water. You have such courage at a young age. I think in a few years, we will have to look up to you."
Wu Yue shook his head and said: "Many people on the Internet say that I am a prodigal. I make money quickly and lose it faster. I might have to apply for a job at Sina."
Cao Guowei smiled and said: "We can't afford to hire you. You can ask for 100 million U.S. dollars in one mouth. S.L.A.'s wealth can't afford you to do it a few times."
When Wu Yue saw what Cao Guowei said, he smiled and said: "One hundred million US dollars is not much. As long as it develops properly, Sina's meager market value can exceed three billion US dollars in less than three years."
At this time, Sina's market value was only over 2 billion. Cao Guowei couldn't help but show a little doubt when he heard that the meager market value in three years could exceed the market value of all Sina's existing businesses.
Wu Yue smiled and said: "The meager development of domestic enterprises should be due to the success of Twitter in the United States, right?"
Cao Guowei nodded and said: "There is no doubt about this, but Twitter's market value this year is only one billion US dollars."
Wu Yue also checked Twitter's market value, but he remembered that Twitter's market value was already US$40 billion when it was reborn, and Sina had modestly raised funds from Alibaba in 2013, and Alibaba gave Sina a meager valuation at that time.
That's more than three billion US dollars.
With his push, **Weibo will definitely be able to reach that scale faster.
Wu Yue smiled and said: "If we reach the previous bet agreement, we can make another bet. On January 1, 2013, I have the right to acquire Sina Weibo for US$2 billion. If Sina wants
If you take back this right,
You need to pay me US$500 million. Similarly, if I don’t want to acquire Sina by then, I will have to pay US$500 million to Sina. Before December 31, 2010, I have to prove that I have US$500 million.
Otherwise the bet will be invalid, how about that?"
Cao Guowei looked at Wu Yue stupidly and said, "You can earn US$500 million next year?"
Wu Yue nodded and said: "If nothing else happens, there should be no problem."
"hehe."
Cao Guowei couldn't help laughing and said: "If you really make 500 million US dollars next year, why would I doubt your vision and bet against you again?"
Wu Yue said seductively: "No, no, your business is different from our investment. You want to lock in profits, and we want to gain the maximum benefit. The prospect of meager profits is not clear, and you don't know that you can make a small profit."
To what extent. If you reach a bet with me, even if it fails, to
By 2013, you can sell it to me for US$2 billion, or receive US$500 million in compensation from me. If the meager market value exceeds US$2.5 billion by then, you only need to pay me US$500 million.
This gambling agreement should be difficult for you business owners to refuse."
The bet that Wu Yue used was not the betting method that Chinese companies are often cheated of. The bet between Chinese companies and foreign investment banks is usually that foreign investment banks buy shares in Chinese companies, and then how much profit the Chinese companies will make in the next few years.
If this is not possible, the foreign investment bank has the right to continue to acquire Huaxia Enterprises, or Huaxia Enterprises must repurchase the shares of the foreign investment bank at a high price.
Wu Yue can get more profits by investing on his own, so he is not willing to invest a small amount in Sina. Instead, he just makes such a bet without any initial investment, as long as he proves that he has 500 million US dollars.
Cao Guowei nodded and said: "I am indeed very tempted, but this gambling agreement is based on the success of the previous gambling agreement. If I guess correctly, whichever company reaches the first gambling agreement with you, you will
Make a second bet with him."
Wu Yue did not deny this, and said with a smile: "Yes, to put it bluntly, whichever company can get me, as long as they promote it properly, China's meager market will belong to them. Although China is big, there can only be one independent company."
Big. If I went to Sohu, I would bet that Sohu’s meager market value would exceed US$2 billion in three years, but I would not dare to bet whether your meager market value would be US$500 million by then.”
It seems that Sohu really contacted Wu Yue.
Sohu is also the portal website that closely follows Sina in terms of Weixin business. Cao Guowei has received news that Sohu Weixin is about to start internal testing.
Cao Guowei thought he had guessed something and said with a smile: "The winner takes all. I agree with this. However, Sohu Weibo has not yet launched a public beta. By the time it does, our users may have exceeded 10 million."
Wu Yue said with a smile: "I don't deny this, but if I go to Sohu, I should be able to make millions of people switch to Sohu. As one goes, the two are on the same starting line, and I still have some
Activity, it shouldn’t be difficult for Sohu to surpass Sina.”
When Cao Guowei heard that Wu Yue was still having activities behind him, he couldn't help but feel nervous. What he was afraid of was that Wu Yue had some ideas, and a good idea could change the market structure.
"Weibo itself faces great policy risks, and your activities are so radical. I'm afraid that your activities will not help Sohu surpass us, but will instead cause the entire Weibo market to be blocked by the government."
Wu Yue said with a smile: "From the relevant departments' handling of my activities this time, it can be seen that the government no longer blindly blocks meager development. Moreover, my subsequent activities will not be so intense, and there is no need to worry about the government blocking them."
I."
Cao Guowei was completely moved when he heard that Wu Yue's activities were no longer intense. The main reason he came this time was to see if Wu Yue had any promotion plans, and what Wu Yue's views on the future were.
Now Wu Yue is willing to bet on the meager market value in three years' time and has a new promotion plan. He has already agreed to the bet from the bottom of his heart.
Cao Guowei said helplessly: "I used to think that it would be impossible to reach 50 million Weibo users within a year, but after looking at the recent growth of Weibo users, I no longer doubt that Weapon users can reach 5,000 within a year."
That’s all. As the user base grows, the number of new users will also accelerate. Now your gambling is a bit like collecting protection fees!"
Wu Yue said with a smile: "If it weren't for me, Sina's meager number of users would be just over one million, and there should be at least over seven million now."
"Yeah, but the growth rate has been declining since yesterday. On Tuesday, your number of fans increased by 1.5 million, on Wednesday your number of fans increased by 1.3 million, and on Thursday your number of fans increased by only over 900,000. It looks like
It’s a little bit scary that your number of fans has increased by half a million today.”
Cao Guowei wanted to exaggerate the number of Weibo users so that Wu Yue would know that his fan ratio was not high, but the number of Weibo users had just exceeded one million at the beginning of this month, and he had no shame in saying too much.
Wu Yue smiled and said: "The climax of the anti-corruption campaign has passed, and the decline is normal. There are more than 7 million users, and nearly 6 million are my fans. It is normal to charge some protection fees from you. The most important thing is Sohu
, NetEase can do without Weibo, but you, Sina, cannot live without Weibo. Your income mainly comes from advertising. In less than a year, Weibo will replace Boke. By then, if you don’t have Weibo, your existing business will also be greatly reduced.
shrink, so you can only bet against me."
Cao Guowei shook his head and said: "You don't behave like a junior student at all. You are too old-fashioned. If you enter the business world, I am afraid we will all have to go home and retire. I will pay the protection fee, but you should also know the new.
Sina's equity is widely dispersed, and US$100 million is a huge expense for Sina. If you can lower the amount of the bet, I will be more confident in persuading the board of directors to approve this bet."
Wu Yue said with a smile: "Although Mr. Cao's shares are small, with Mr. Cao's prestige in Sina and the importance of the small amount to Sina, I believe that other directors will agree to this bet. Since it is protection
We don’t have to bargain. One hundred million US dollars, actually, I don’t really care about it. I just want you capitalists to use some money for charity.”
Cao Guowei said helplessly: "Then with this US$100 million, can we, Sina, also name it and help us establish a brand image?"
Wu Yue thought for a while and said: "You can name it with me, but you can't interfere with the foundation's affairs. I will use all the money as soon as possible."
Cao Guowei has no objection to this. Only by donating the money quickly can his brand be promoted to the maximum extent. Moreover, Wu Yue's performance is so strong, so he can only accept it.
