The ninth and forty-fifth chapters, the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall
Although the Internet market these days seems a bit outrageous, with balloons blowing up bigger than the last, there are actually many good companies. Feita is at least more reliable than those empty-handed white wolves.
Much!
Internet anti-virus will become a necessity in the future. Many people may feel that it is okay if anti-virus software is not installed on mobile phones and computers. But have you ever thought about the possibility that you do not need to install it? The manufacturers of mobile phones have already
When leaving the factory, anti-virus software is installed...
Regardless of whether you use it or not, the anti-virus software market is there. Even if you don't use it, it is still useful to use it to clear memory garbage.
In the future, all mobile phones equipped with Symbian system, as well as Apple computers, will use Fortinet anti-virus, which is even built-in from the factory and cannot be deleted.
As long as there are users of Symbian and Apple systems, the user scale of Fortinet can be guaranteed. Even if Fortinet does not charge for anti-virus, advertising revenue is guaranteed.
The most important thing that can support the market value of the take-off tower of nearly 8 billion US dollars is that from last year to this year, the TV box developed by the take-off tower has sold nearly 4 million sets, with revenue exceeding 500 million US dollars.
!
A large part of this $8 billion valuation is for Fortinet TV boxes. Wall Street investment banks don't know whether anti-virus software is profitable, but the market for TV boxes seems to be very profitable.
of.
Think about how big the TV stock market is now in the world. In America alone, almost every household has one or even several TV stations. There are also markets in North America, Europe, Asia, etc. Once the TV is matched with a TV
Boxes have become the consensus of mainstream society, so how much can TV set-top boxes be sold every year?

In the future, the TV box market may even become a market worth more than 10 billion US dollars a year. If Fortinet can capture one-third of this market, it will generate revenue of 35 billion US dollars per year!
In addition, Feita's TV box has advantages that other competitors do not have. It has the support of IBC Group, Western Pictures, and Universal Pictures behind it. There is no need to worry about content and copyright, and it can be done openly.
Selling TV boxes is not like other TV boxes that are borderline, for fear of being sued by Hollywood!
Those who are optimistic about Feita are mostly Wall Street institutions. Leeks are not very interested in anti-virus software, which is one of the unpopular ones on the Internet, because too few people pay attention to it.
Song Yang listened to Xie Qing's report. For Song Yang, Nasdaq was no longer unfamiliar. Even ICQ had become a component stock of the Nasdaq index. But for Xie Qing, this was the first time.
, naturally quite excited and nervous.
"The North American Global Investment Fund will cooperate with Feita to complete the listing, and Marcus will help you here."
Song Yang explained to Xie Qing, then hesitated for a moment, and then said to Xie Qing, "Xie Qing, you have been busy in San Jose for the past few years since you came to America. After Feita is listed, maybe you can take a break.
Take a break and relax!”
In Liu Huangshu's words, Xie Qing has been fighting for so many years, and now that the flying tower is about to be listed, shouldn't he enjoy his life, and arrange for luxury cars, villas, private yachts, etc.
Xie Qing couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard Song Yang's words. When he first heard it, he felt nervous, thinking that Song Yang had some idea to let him leave Feita. Wall Street and Silicon Valley were trying to kill the founder.
It’s not uncommon for people to be kicked out...
But then I thought about it, Song Yang is the major shareholder of Feita. If you want him to leave Feita, there is no need to go to such trouble. The board of directors can just kick him out. Xie Qing is sure that Feita’s board of directors and management
At the top level, no one dares to oppose Song Yang. Even General Heng Ha, the other two founders of Feita, probably would not dare to openly confront Song Yang!
After Song Yang mentioned it, he didn't say much more. He asked Xie Qing to take a vacation after Feita was listed, and asked him to sell part of his equity before the listing, or to pledge the equity after the listing to cash out.
Come out with a lot of money, wait for the storm to pass, and then return to the flying tower.
As for Xie Qing, whether he can listen or how much he can listen is beyond Song Yang's control. Song Yang can give him this reminder, which is already the most benevolent thing.
If you don't cash out, the Feita with a market value of 8 billion will be worth half of its final market value, which is probably a high price. Xie Qing's net worth of more than one billion US dollars has basically been wiped out. If he cashes out now, he will definitely be scolded.
Yes, but whether Feita's stock price falls or not, it has nothing to do with Xie Qing's worth of hundreds of millions of dollars, as well as his mansion, sports car, private jet, yacht, etc.!
Hearing Song Yang's hint to Xie Qing, Omidyar was still a little confused and confused about the twists and turns, but Whitman understood clearly and knew that Song Yang wanted Xie Qing to do it.
Run away early.
Now, Whitman suddenly understood vaguely why Song Yang knew that even though the Internet market was somewhat unstable, he still agreed to the listing of eBay, Feita, Yeadex, and Sohu.
If the Internet market really changes dramatically, then this listing will allow the founders and management of these companies, including Whitman, to earn a fortune in travel expenses, so that their efforts will not be in vain...
Xie Qing left Song Yang's San Jose villa and returned to Feita's office with an expression of deep thought.
Meeting Song Yang this time, Feita has received Song Yang's support. There is no need to worry about problems with the listing. On the first day of listing, if Feita's stock price falls, the North American Global Investment Foundation will hold up Feita's stock price and prevent it from falling.
Breaking the issue price has become a joke within the industry.
But the last words Song Yang said to him made Xie Qing happy, but also a little worried. He didn't know what Song Yang said to him, which made Xie Qing feel a little entangled.
After Xie Qing, Whitman also told Song Yang, "ebay will complete its listing before the end of June this year, and is currently raising funds. It is expected to raise 1.5 billion U.S. dollars, with a valuation of about 17 billion U.S. dollars.
,Complete listing!”
I heard that the eBay lion said that it would raise US$1.5 billion, which is nearly 20 times the amount raised by Amazon, which was previously listed!
When Amazon went public before, it raised only US$80 million, and its valuation at the time of listing was no more than US$650 million. At that time, several investment banks underwriting Amazon's shares thought Amazon was a bit expensive and were reluctant to invest in Amazon.
When selling stocks, the handling fees are also quite high.
But who would have thought that by the time eBay went public, the market would have completely changed, and the Internet craze had completely arrived. eBay would issue listed stocks worth 1.5 billion U.S. dollars, and go public with a frightening price of more than 17 billion U.S. dollars.
This time, Wall Street institutions and investors large and small did not feel that eBay was too expensive.
Because Amazon’s current market capitalization is approaching tens of billions of dollars, but its user scale, revenue, and profits are completely inferior to eBay. eBay is the leader of the global e-commerce industry today!
Amazon has a market capitalization of tens of billions of dollars. It has more users and higher revenue than Amazon. Amazon is still losing money. eBay made $40 million last year. How do you think that eBay is not more valuable than Amazon?!
No matter what happens in the future, eBay is now the "white moonlight" in the hearts of major Wall Street institutions and investors. Wherever it goes, Amazon will be a supporting role. As for eBay, will it become Mrs. Niu in the future? Then...
...it’s unknown.
After listening to Whitman's words, Song Yang glanced at Omidyar. The latter was very discerning and went to find Gallo who had just arrived at the villa to tinker with the barbecue.
Whitman, Irene, Eltian, Marcus and others are all Song Yang's absolute confidants. They are in charge of those industries for Song Yang. Of course, correspondingly, they have also gained huge power.
Facing Whitman and others, Song Yang did not need to hide anything. "The North American Global Investment Foundation, Bruno Family Foundation, etc. will transfer part of eBay's equity before eBay's listing. In the future, eBay's equity will not be sold entirely."
It will be lost, but it will not retain more than 40%!”
Whitman took a deep breath, looked at Song Yang and asked, "Song, are you not optimistic about the future market conditions of eBay or the Internet?!"
Song Yang shook his head. There are some things that cannot be said in any case, even if they have already been done. "I have said that I will not leave the Internet industry. However, sometimes it is necessary to avoid some possible risks. Use federal laws to
