Chapter 66 Play 1 Play Hunger Marketing?

Wen Ming remembers that Facebook's market value in a few years will exceed 480 billion US dollars.

It is inevitable to break through the market value of 500 billion U.S. dollars. By then, the value of 2.4% of the shares will exceed 12 billion U.S. dollars. Of course, this value is not certain, because there are still situations such as dilution of equity in future financing.

Moreover, Wen Ming couldn't get 2.4%, including Teresa Roy's 0.24%.

Li Jiacheng hopes to invest 900 million U.S. dollars to get all the equity in Wen Ming's hands, and Teresa Roy also hopes to pay Wen Ming part of the cash to find ways to get more Facebook equity.

The choice of two world-class rich people has proved the value of Facebook and the return on investment of Facebook stock.

"If I could have come to this world a few years earlier, wouldn't it be so entangled if Facebook was created by me?"

Wen Ming was very helpless. Compared with creating Facebook, a social network that does not have high technical content and mainly invests in operations and servers, it is undoubtedly much more difficult to create Apple.

After Facebook was created by Mark Zuckerberg, it only received 500,000 US dollars in financing, and it was able to become popular all over the United States. After being famous for creating Apple, he now has 180 million US dollars in cash, but he is still sad because he has no money to invest in hardware.

"If all the shares in my hand are sold, no matter how Teresa Roy and Li Jiacheng are divided, I can get 900 million US dollars in cash."

Wen Ming frowned, and began to think: "Then, with 900 million US dollars in cash, how many iPhone 4s can I produce?"

According to previous cost estimates, the hardware cost of an iPhone is US$273, plus store, transportation, promotion, etc., and it can be calculated at US$300 in the initial stage.

And 900 million US dollars will allow Wen Ming to manufacture 3 million iPhone4s.

"The cumulative global sales volume of iPhone 4 has exceeded 100 million units. I was only able to manufacture 1 million units before. Even if I add 3 million units now, it will not meet the demand for iPhones in the entire market. So, is there a difference?"

Wen Ming looked at the Blackberry full-keyboard mobile phone on the desk, and another Nokia N97 used to test and run "Talking Tom", and another worry arose in his heart.

"iphone4, in this world, can it really be as popular as in the previous life?"

Wen Ming couldn't help worrying about this issue, because once the iPhone failed, Wen Ming could almost be said to be dead. He didn't have enough money to support the plan to 'resurrect' dinosaurs, nor did he have enough money to support the plan to 'cure' cancer.

"If you keep some shares in Facebook, you can cash out nearly one billion US dollars at any time in the next few years. If you can last until Facebook goes public, then the money will at least triple. This is equivalent to having a way out, without worrying about the suspension of the 'resurrected' dinosaur project."

Is it desperate, or choose a back road?

Wen Ming thought about it for an hour in his office, and then called Benjamin to communicate with him, budgeting the capital investment for the 'resurrecting' dinosaur project in the next few years.

"Notify Sith to go to the conference room and tell him that I can determine the bottom line of the negotiation."

Apple's recruitment plan has never stopped. Now, Wen Ming also has his own assistant and secretary. Although he is not too ruthless, at least he looks very seductive.

A few minutes later, in Apple's conference room, Sith, Cage, and other members of Apple's legal department and Apple's representative team for the four-party merger and acquisition case had sat down and waited.

After Wen Ming entered the meeting room, he didn't talk too much nonsense, but said directly: "I want to hold Facebook shares as much as possible,

According to your inferences, how many shares can Facebook give us? "

The 2.4% shares sold by Facebook are not directly handed over to Apple, and they don't want to increase their shareholders. Therefore, in Facebook's view, it would be better if all these shares could be given to Li Jiacheng.

Not only did the number of shareholders not increase, but Li Jiacheng's priority financing rights could also be resolved, achieving the best of both worlds.

Sith said: "Through previous negotiations, Facebook hopes to allow Li Jiacheng to contribute 750 million US dollars to pay for the cash part of the purchase of ins. The remaining part is the shares they are willing to give us."

"Based on our current agreement of 1 billion U.S. dollars, the difference of 250 million U.S. dollars is 0.6% of Facebook shares. If you want to hold as many Facebook shares as possible, then Teresa Roy , we don’t need to think about it at all, because they only have 10% of the shares of ins and have no power to make decisions.”

"That is to say, out of the 750 million US dollars in cash we received, we can pay 100 million US dollars to Teresa Roy, and we will get 650 million US dollars in cash and 0.6% of Facebook shares. .”

If calculated according to the market value of Facebook of 480 billion U.S. dollars in Wen Ming's memory, 0.6% of the equity is equal to 2.88 billion U.S. dollars. This alone is enough to 'resurrect' the funds required for the dinosaur project, and even the incidental 'treatment' cancer project does not need to worry about funding at all.

Sith said again: "Of course, what I just said is just a minimum negotiation method for holding Facebook shares. If we want to get more Facebook shares, we can open our mouths. Even, we You can tell Facebook directly that we don’t want a penny of cash, only Facebook’s share replacement.”

Wen Ming understands Sith's meaning, ins is in the hands of Apple, and the development of ins is very good, it can be said that it has the initiative.

"But I know Facebook won't accept it."

Sith nodded and said: "They won't accept it, but if you want to do this, we can get more favorable conditions. In my estimation, if it goes well, we can hold about 1.2 % of Facebook shares, and then get 500 million US dollars in cash, of which 100 million US dollars will be paid to Teresa Roy.”

The difference between 1.2% and 0.6% is the difference between 5.76 billion US dollars and 2.88 billion US dollars, and the so-called loss is nothing more than the change from 650 million US dollars in cash to 400 million US dollars in cash.

Looking at this problem from another angle, it is equivalent to asking you to invest 2.5 US dollars in cash in 2009 and repaying you 5.76 billion US dollars eight years later. This investment has doubled by more than 20 times.

Wen Ming took a deep breath, and then said: "Then follow what you said, I want 1.2% of Facebook shares, and 400 million US dollars in cash income."

For Wen Ming, it doesn't make much difference whether it makes 1 million iPhone 4s, 2 million, or 3 million, and it can't meet the market demand either.

That being the case, why not learn from Moumi from the previous life and play hunger marketing?

After the meeting ended, Sith and others immediately began to change the negotiation plan, while Wen Ming began to think about how to play hunger marketing.

"Don't be too cruel to play the iPhone of hunger marketing."
