The market had always been eighty-two.
When the oligarchs took over most of the market, even if other competitors entered, they wouldn't be able to do much.
Needless to say, Wechat's IP traffic was five times that of Facebook.
Perhaps Facebook still had a lot of value.
But at this time, as long as it was an investor with foresight, they would look at Wechat.
"Everyone, Wechat has started a new round of financing, and it was initiated by Wechat. If we miss this opportunity, we might never see such an excellent website again."
"We missed Yahoo and Google before. This time, we can't miss Wechat again."
"But Wechat is so popular now, I'm afraid the valuation …"
How to determine whether an internet company was worth investing in? The most important indicator was the number of IP visits.
Once the number of IP visits reached a certain level, he would be able to lead an era.
Although in many people's eyes, the IP traffic and whether or not he could make a profit were two different things.
But it didn't matter.
As long as the IP traffic went up, he had plenty of ways to make a profit.
Of course, the only thing that worried them was Wechat's valuation.
Two weeks ago, Mogen's valuation was 10 billion USD.
Well, it was reduced by 1 billion USD.
Now, everyone knew it was a joke.
As for now, no one was sure if it was 30 billion USD or more.
This was because, according to what they knew, there were already dozens of global financial giants that were interested in them.
The first person to rush to Wechat's headquarters was Dess, the president of Mogen's investment department.
Last time, he was a joke in the industry. This time, Dess was determined to take over Wechat.
"Hello, I'm Dess from Mogen's investment department. I've made an appointment with Boss Chen."
"Mr. Dess, Boss Chen hasn't arrived yet. You can wait in the lounge."
"Okay."
Dess nodded and walked to the lounge.
Of course, if it was a normal company, Dess would have left.
Mogen wanted to invest in your company, and your boss was late. Mogen would never invest in such a company.
In fact, none of the companies that Mogen wanted to invest in dared to be late.
As for why Chen Yu was late, Dess knew that he did it on purpose.
But even if it was intentional, Dess knew that he couldn't leave now.
"Eh? Dess, you're the first?"
"Mi Jie, you came too?"
"Hehe, if the Devil Roots can come, why can't our Goldman Sachs?"
"Hmph, but it's useless even if you come. The friend network will be provided by our Devil Roots Territory."
"It's not certain who will lead the investment. Let's see whose offer is higher."
Mi Jie, the president of Goldman Sachs' investment department, said disdainfully.
Although the overall strength of the Devil Root was stronger than Gao Sheng's, it wasn't that much stronger.
Besides, there were some conflicts between the Devil Root and the Friend Network. They could take advantage of this opportunity.
However, Wechat Moments wasn't easy to deal with.
In the end, it all depended on who offered the highest price.
Friends sites would definitely choose the one with the highest price.
Just as they were talking, another person appeared in the lounge. "Why is it so lively?"
"Blackstone."
Dace and Jamie turned around and recognized that the person was from Blackstone Capital.
Both of their hearts sank.
Although this company couldn't compare to them overall, this company had always been generous.
As long as they had their eyes on a company, even Devil Roots and Goldman Sachs might not be able to compete.
"Don't look at me. Blackstone doesn't have the strength to take down Wechat Moments. I just want five points."
"Five points. When did Blackstone's appetite become so small?"
"It's not that our appetite has become small, but the two of you might not know how many VCs will come today."
"How many?"
The representative of Blackstone Capital raised one finger.
"100 companies?"
"That's right."
"Oh my god …"
Dace and Jamie cursed inwardly.
One had to know that the companies that could come here today weren't ordinary companies.
They weren't ordinary financial companies either.
The companies that were interested in Wechat Moments had at least 10 billion USD in capital.
The higher ones were even more terrifying. They had hundreds of billions of USD.
If one were to talk about the funds they had, some would reach trillions of USD.
Although it couldn't be said that they could take out trillions of USD.
However, this represented their strength.
It was said that even Berkshire was interested in Wechat Moments.
Perhaps you don't know what kind of company Berkshire was?
But you must know Buffett.
That's right, Berkshire was the financial and insurance investment company founded by Buffett.
The two guessed right.
After a while, the representative of Berkshire really arrived.
"F * ck, they really came."
Dace exclaimed in his heart.
Even the stock market god had sent a representative. This battle was going to be interesting.
Of course, it wasn't just Berkshire that was here. There were a series of other investment companies.
Tiger Fund, Sequoia Capital, IDG, Deiyi Bank, Bank of America Securities … and so on.
Most of them were American investors, but some were big shots from other countries.
Some weren't even in the investment industry, such as Wal-Mart.
Did you think Wal-Mart was just a supermarket?
Indeed, their main business was a supermarket.
But everyone knew that the biggest advantage of a supermarket was cash flow.
They had a terrifying amount of cash flow.
With so much cash flow, would they just deposit this money in the bank?
No, no, no.
Even if Wal-Mart wasn't a professional investment company, they would still invest this money.
For example, they were eyeing Wechat Moments now.
Did you think there weren't any companies like Wal-Mart?
Not at all.
Other than Wal-Mart, there were other companies that had nothing to do with investment or finance.
Just like BMW, they came running over.
Yes, BMW, the company that made cars.
As for whether they were here to join in the fun or to invest, who knew?
But looking at the situation …
Many company representatives felt their hearts skip a beat.
There were so many companies here. The valuation of Wechat Moments today was not simple.
"35 billion USD or 38 billion USD?"
"I think it's more than 38 billion USD."
"I think so too."
Previously, many financial giants only put 30 billion USD on Wechat Moments.
But when they saw a series of giants appear, none of them put a price lower than 35 billion USD.
Moreover, in actual operations, they felt that today's valuation might be even higher.
"38 billion USD is on the low side. It will definitely go up to 40 billion USD today."
"40 billion USD, you really dare to think about it? 40 billion USD in the primary market. If it goes public this year, it will definitely go over 1,000 USD. This might be the biggest IPO in North America. "
"So, if you can think of it going over 100 billion USD after it goes public, why can't others think of it? Also, look at who's in front of us. "
Pointing to the front, the representative of a financial company said softly.
Many people looked in the direction of the finger.
Those who knew them had already mentioned the companies they represented.
"Microsoft, Microsoft is here."
"And Intel, Intel wants to invest in Wechat Moments too?"
"Well, Google is here too."
Everyone was a little excited.
They understood.
These giants in the IT industry were here. It was enough to prove the importance of Wechat Moments.
There was a fairly common pattern in the financial industry.
That was, although the giants were competitors, they mostly held shares in each other.
Microsoft had Google shares, and Google had Intel shares.
Why did they do this?
It was simple.
Everyone was so awesome. If I can't destroy you, you can't destroy me.
For the future and to buy insurance for themselves, buying some of each other's shares was the most appropriate strategy.
Even if my company went bankrupt, I had some shares in other companies and could more or less make a comeback.
