[Morgan temporarily gives up on investing in wechat.]
[Negotiations fail. Is wechat really worth 10 billion USD?]
[Facebook is valued at 3 billion. Is wechat's valuation too high?]
[Many financial VCs go to Facebook. The battle of social networks is not over.]
The news that Devil's Root and Wechat suspended financing negotiations quickly spread to the media.
Many people who were optimistic about Wechat began to hesitate.
At the same time, major media outlets began to research whether Wechat was worth 10 billion USD.
Some media outlets believed that Wechat's valuation was seriously too high. 10 billion USD was almost an impossible price. Looking at the history of the Internet in the United States, even Yahoo did not reach 10 billion USD before going public. Of course, if Wechat was listed now, it would still be worth 10 billion USD.
But the secondary market was different from the primary market.
The price of the secondary market was far higher than the primary market.
In addition, some researchers believed that in essence, Facebook and Wechat were not much different. The models of the two were very similar, or even exactly the same. Moreover, WeChat started out as a defense against Facebook. If WeChat could grow explosively during this period of time, Facebook could do the same.
If that was the case, then why invest in a company with such a high valuation?
If other financial investors were interested, they might as well consider Facebook.
Of course, Chen Yu knew all of this.
This could be the hype of competitors and financial companies.
On the one hand, financial companies would suppress the companies they invested in for their own interests.
Of course, they also knew that this kind of suppression would not have a fundamental impact on the companies they invested in.
They would still invest in what they should invest in.
But if they could negotiate a good price in terms of price and shares, then everything would be worth it.
As for competitors, it was even simpler.
Although Facebook was now behind Wechat, it did not mean that Facebook was willing to be defeated by Wechat.
At this time, Chen Yu was not in a hurry.
He knew.
If he wanted to trick the financial giants into investing USD, he would have to put in a lot of effort.
"Wang Chang, I don't think our 'Steal Vegetables' is enough."
Chen Yu called Wang Chang to his office and said while playing the 'Steal Vegetables' game.
"Boss Chen, our 'Steal Vegetables' is now very popular."
Wang Chang was taken aback.
What was the most popular game right now?
The answer was to steal vegetables.
If one were to ask what was the hottest topic right now, the answer would be stealing vegetables.
Moreover, now that the price of vegetables had been high, the vegetable thief game had been riding on this wave of wind, and the number of people registered was increasing by a large margin every day. At this rate, Wang Chang predicted that by the end of the year, their friends' IP traffic would become the fourth largest in North America.
It was ranked behind Yahoo, Google, and AOL.
This was a huge achievement.
However, it seemed that Boss Chen was not satisfied with the results.
Wasn't this too harsh?
"There is a small fire, but it's not very strong."
Chen Yu shook his head and said, "I think stealing vegetables is a very fun and creative game that can let everyone participate in. Although many people have participated, there are still a considerable number of people who haven't. "
"Boss Chen, don't worry. By the end of this year, I estimate that our vegetable theft will attract 100 million users."
"The end of this year is too long."
Chen Yu shook his head again and suddenly said, "Wang Chang, you said that everyone is playing our vegetable theft game. Is anyone really going to steal vegetables?"
"Stealing vegetables in reality?"
"Yes."
"That's not very good."
"I know it's not good, but I think we can try."
When Chen Yu said that he would give it a try, he didn't really mean that he would go and steal the vegetables himself.
Of course, he could do it when necessary.
However, now was the age of the Internet. There was no need to experience it in person.
He just needed to lead the crowd on the Internet.
For example.
"Brothers, stealing vegetables is really fun. Do you want to play something exciting?"
"What's exciting?"
"It means to steal vegetables in the real world."
"F * ck, no way."
Under the influence of some people with ulterior motives, the idea of going to the real world to steal vegetables stimulated countless people.
"Buddy, your idea is really exciting. However, where to steal vegetables? Do you have a location? "
"I'm paying special attention. There's a market not far from me. I can steal vegetables there. "
"What if you get caught?"
"Don't worry, my skills are just new."
"F * ck, don't talk about it. I want to go too."
"Okay then, I'll do it later. I'll post the results tonight."
"Wait for the results. If you succeed, I'll tip you $1,000."
"Get your $1,000 ready."
That night.
The friend who said that he was going to steal vegetables during the day kept his promise. He came back with his spoils of war.
On the Internet, he uploaded all kinds of vegetables he stole.
There were tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, and corn. There were seven or eight kinds in total.
There were pictures and the truth, and they were all muddy.
Of course, he did not only upload these stolen vegetables.
The man even uploaded the whole process of him stealing the vegetables to Zhang Zian.
For example, pictures of the farm.
How he climbed over the wall to get in.
In addition, there was the location.
As for the tools.
No.
He directly used his hands to pluck the vegetables.
Of course, in order to not get caught, some key things were photoshopped.
"F * ck, talent, awesome, too awesome."
"Worship, the post owner is mighty."
"A $1,000 reward has arrived. I just want to say, 666 …"
Seeing that this friend on the Internet had personally gone to the vegetable garden to steal vegetables, countless onlookers could not help but be excited.
Just this post alone attracted millions of views.
However, did you think that was the end?
No, no, no.
In fact, many people had thought about it when they were stealing vegetables. Should they really steal vegetables and try it?
But many people did not dare to try it.
Now that they saw someone taking the lead, what were they waiting for?
Then hurry up.
In a few days, you will find out.
In several areas of California, there were several cases of vegetable theft.
That was not the most important thing.
The most important thing was that a few people were actually caught.
However, even if some people were caught, it could not stop the enthusiasm of these people to steal vegetables.
As long as one had played the game of stealing vegetables, they would have the idea of stealing vegetables.
Especially when they saw someone stealing vegetables, it could not stop their enthusiasm.
Although many of them were not there to steal vegetables, they were not there to steal vegetables.
Sometimes, when they accidentally saw a vegetable garden, they would run over to steal it.
For example, when they were walking, they saw a small vegetable garden on the side and directly stole it.
When they were driving, they saw a vegetable garden and stopped to steal it first.
Of course.
Originally, some police officers in various places thought that this kind of vegetable theft was just an ordinary theft.
Although stealing vegetables was relatively rare, it still happened sometimes.
However, after vegetable theft happened from time to time in various places … The real version of vegetable theft finally became popular all over the world.
