"Son, teach me how to use the computer."
"Mom, do you want to learn how to use the computer?"
"No, I want to play a game."
"What game?"
"Steal vegetables."
"Steal vegetables? What game is that?"
"It's a very fun game. Just turn it on for me."
"Okay, okay, I'll turn it on for you."
"Yes, is it this?"
"Yes, yes, yes, it's this."
"This doesn't seem fun."
"It's very fun. You don't know. Okay, you can go away. By the way, how do I turn off the computer later? "
"Oh my god, Mom, you don't know how to use the computer and you want to play Steal vegetables."
"I like it. I'm happy to."
"Alright, you can click here and close it later."
"Oh, it's that simple. I got it."
There were many people who played the game of Steal vegetables.
However, many people played this game. At that time, it was only limited to users of Wechat.
However, now that the price of vegetables had skyrocketed, a series of uncles and aunties who had never used the Internet had also joined in.
Although they didn't know how to use the computer, Steal vegetables was extremely simple.
They only needed to be taught to play.
Moreover, because many of their friends were playing this game, even if it was very simple, they still played it with relish.
While these uncles and aunties ran into the game, the IP flow of Wechat rose at an astonishing speed.
"It's rising, it's rising again."
"Oh my god, the innovation is high. Boss Chen, our Wechat's IP has reached a new high again."
"It's still rising, it's still rising …"
Looking at the backend data, Wang Chang said excitedly.
"Wang Chang, calm down, calm down."
Chen Yu couldn't stand it anymore and asked Wang Chang to calm down. "This is nothing. Our Wechat has reached new heights three times in a day. Is there a need to be so excited?"
However, although he said so, it was impossible not to be excited when looking at the backend data skyrocketing.
Even Chen Yu's heart was beating violently.
It was difficult for people who hadn't experienced this kind of skyrocketing IP to understand this feeling.
Although Huanyu Technologies had been very successful in the internet business, they should have been more indifferent to this.
However, the internet that Huanyu Technology had previously set up in the country was only considered successful after a long period of operation.
For example, instant messaging. He had spent a considerable amount of time competing with Brother Ma.
Take e-commerce for example. Not only did it take time, but it also took a lot of energy, material resources, and financial resources.
Online games, on the other hand, were relatively better. However, even though online games were good, there weren't many IP streams.
But WeChat was a different story.
He was not a portal, but he almost had the IP flow of a portal.
He wasn't playing a game, but the number of people online at the same time in his game was several times higher than in normal online games.
Especially since Wechat didn't only have business in North America. It also had business in Europe, Oceania, and Asia.
In other words, Wechat was now a global website.
Even though he hadn't really grown up yet.
However, there was a lot of room for imagination.
Will WeChat be the next Yahoo?
Will WeChat be the next Google?
Don't think that this was imagination. He hadn't really realized it yet.
But for capital, if this imagination was big enough, then it had great value.
It was just like a stock listing.
When a company was going to be listed, the major financial companies and investment companies would evaluate them in addition to the company's hard indicators. For example, traffic, users, monthly activity, growth rate, profitability … and so on. The most important thing was whether the company's story was good or not.
As long as the story was good, the market value could double.
If the story was quite explosive, 10 or 100 times was possible.
Think about how LeShi became popular back then.
It was completely based on PowerPoint to tell stories.
Don't think that this was in China. In the North American market, he needed to tell stories more.
As for how to tell a good story, that would depend on how big his imagination was.
There was no doubt that Wechat's imagination exceeded that of any company.
His targets were all world-class giants.
Since that was the case, then the investment banks at Wechat's headquarters rushed in like a tide.
"4 billion USD, this is my valuation of Wechat."
"Bain Capital, get out of here. You're too weak. Give us your previous shares. Our valuation of Wechat is 6 billion."
"Softbank, right? You're offering 6 billion USD, we're offering 8 billion USD."
"For Morgan, Wechat's valuation is 10 billion USD."
The prices of heavyweight players had always been awesome.
Wechat's valuation jumped from more than 3 billion USD to 10 billion USD.
This valuation also caused a stir in the entire industry.
One had to know.
For a new Internet company, Wechat was the one with the highest valuation in recent years.
Moreover, this was only the valuation before it went public.
Morgan was able to give a valuation of 10 billion USD. If it went public, Wechat's valuation would definitely triple.
That was more than 30 billion USD.
Perhaps those who didn't understand this area would think that the profit of such an investment was too small.
Some investment companies would have returns dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of times after going public.
But there was no comparison.
First of all, you couldn't catch such an opportunity.
Second of all, even if you caught it, the risk was extremely high.
Because a start-up company had to go through countless problems from development to going public.
Some might go public successfully, but most would go bankrupt directly.
Fast Broadcasting was awesome, right? It was so awesome that it made people's hair stand on end.
At that time, those who invested in Fast Broadcasting thought that they had gotten a huge bargain. But in the end, they had nothing.
No matter how many billions of dollars they invested, it was all for naught.
But with Wechat's current scale, as long as Wechat was willing to go public, they could definitely successfully push it into the secondary securities market within a year.
In this, the risk was extremely low.
Third of all, if everything went well, you might not be able to make money from investing in Wechat.
Using Wechat as an example, if Wechat's current valuation was 10 billion USD, and you invested 10 billion USD, then once it went public, its market value might reach 30 billion USD, or even better. In other words, you could make at least 20 billion USD.
But if you invested in other companies, other companies wouldn't be able to accommodate your funds.
Not to mention 10 billion USD, even if you invested 1 billion USD, it would already be the limit.
And to make 20 billion USD from 1 billion USD was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
It was like a container.
No matter how much water there was in a pond, there was a limit.
But what if you invested in the sea, the ocean?
That was how it was very easy to earn 10,000 USD from 1 USD.
But it was extremely difficult to earn another 100 million USD from 100 million USD.
And it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens to earn another 10 billion USD from 10 billion USD.
Of course, this was just a metaphor. Wechat's valuation was 10 billion USD for the time being, but it was impossible to raise 10 billion USD.
If it raised 10 billion USD, would Chen Yu still want his shares?
But whether it was 10 billion USD or not, it was enough to see Wechat's future prospects.
However, Chen Yu was not moved by Wechat's valuation of 10 billion USD.
Although 10 billion USD was a lot, in Chen Yu's eyes, Wechat's value was far more than 10 billion USD.
Moreover, the climax of stealing vegetables was far from here.
