Chapter 794 The So-Called Eyeball Economy
When Niu Bijian returned to Xiangjiang, the troubles of Yihe came. Having a boss who is not short of money is really two different things. Of course, Jardine's withdrawal from Xiangjiang is very firm, which is why William White can take advantage of it.
Others might look down on the Catherines, but not William White. Such an old-fashioned family is naturally not that simple. If you give it a push, they will lose their temper. If they are determined to do a match in Xiangjiang, it will be really hard to say who will win.
At about the same time, Downing Street will definitely come to mediate. If the communication is not smooth, they will naturally pull out of the way. A family that dares to fight for opium should not be underestimated at any time.
"Boss, look at this website."
"Hehe, Tom, what's the matter, what's the matter?"
"It's nothing, you should know about this company."
"Yahoo, hahaha, rude guy with such a vulgar name, I thought it was just a company name.
What, is the traffic high? "
"Yes, boss, in just a few months, their traffic is approaching that of NBC Online."
"What? So powerful?" William White took a deep breath, and he found that the problem was a bit troublesome. With such a rapid development, his shareholding will inevitably decrease during the A round of financing.
"Yes, boss, many investment banks have begun to pay attention to this company. However, there are great differences in the valuation of the company."
William White smiled slightly, but there is no eyeball economy yet. Perhaps it is written in economics books, but for investment banks, they do not recognize this valuation.
You can lose money, it doesn't matter. However, if you don't want to be deliberately suppressed by others, it is best to clearly state your profit goals. What are you going to do to achieve this goal.
If these problems are not solved well, although it will not affect your IPO, it will not have the price you expected.
Of course, it's been two years. Since 1996, technology stocks have been bullish all the way. In the end, it's just a matter of dabbling with technology.
No profit model?
This is not scary, as long as you can tell a story. Didn't a famous big flicker say, let's suffocate our dreams.
Hehe, this sentence can be taken apart to explain, I have realized my dream, and you all need to be suffocated.
Don't mention it, these big fools in the big rabbit country are really not simple. There is a plan to open a tunnel in the Himalayas. They've been doing well over the years. There is also a guy who sells brains and money, and is still working as a younger brother for this guy.
It's a pity that this guy is from the big rabbit country, and he doesn't know what IT is. If possible, William White is willing to poach this guy as CEO.
If you can be fooled like this, you can't say that someone is a liar. It doesn't even matter if you're a liar. In the end, if it is not for the regulation, others may not fail.
If you fail, you are a liar. If you succeed, you can become Papa Ma. Any horse will do.
"Tom, those idiots on Wall Street don't know how to evaluate. Let me tell you, this is called the eyeball economy, also called the attention economy, which is actually the same as TV ratings.
The higher the ratings, the higher the advertising costs. Public television stations do not charge, how does it make a profit. Cable television stations charge fees, but their valuations are lower than those of public television stations. "
"Boss, even though that's what you said, advertisers don't like it very much, and the price is also kept very low. It stands to reason that these are potential high-quality customers..."
"Hahaha, so, it's still a base problem. An excellent drama series, with a ratings of 50 million. How many users do you have on the Internet.
However, the ratings of your TV station have reached the peak, and it is impossible to make any breakthroughs. As for the Internet, despite our competitors, we still get good hits.
That group of advertisers, it’s still the same sentence, today you ignore me, but tomorrow I will make you unable to climb high. "
"Okay, I see, boss."
"For NBC Online, since Yahoo is doing a good job, we have to keep trying. Those that are not very attractive will be placed on the next-level page."
"Okay, I'll follow up."
Now that William White said so, Tom has nothing to say. Those banks that were unwilling to lend to the boss back then are now green with regret.
Umbrella on a rainy day?
Cool is very cool, you can see those guys are unlucky up close. Of course, if there is a successful counterattack, don't count on it in your life.
For well-known reasons, William White and Wall Street bankers have been at odds. As his economic territory is getting bigger and bigger, the guys who used to be aloof can only look up to him now.
Do you regret it?
Maybe there is, if it happens again, no one will help this little brat.
If you press the wrong treasure, you can't blame others. Today's Hunter family has officially gone bankrupt. Even though life is still good, it can't be compared with William White.
For more than ten years, the world has been turned upside down. The mighty Baiyin family has rushed to the street, and the guy who was forced to sell his property is now a freak at all.
What's the matter with the top ten consortiums? If you provoke him, they still want you to look good.
"Andy, so that means that the Kaisek family planned to withdraw from Xiangjiang?"
"Yes, boss, their stocks have been half-dead. John Bull doesn't like it, and Xiangjiang people don't want to see it. They can be regarded as capable if they can be hated by others."
"So, William White is planning a hostile takeover? Strange, this is what our Big Morgan is best at, doesn't he know?"
"Ahem, what, boss, the former CEO of Jardine was invited back by him. On the surface, it seems that he is here for revenge, but in fact it may not be.
If they can reach an agreement, it is actually a win-win situation. NBC's previous actions were only dissatisfied with their words and deeds, and had nothing to do with business. "
"Tsk, this kid is really getting more and more difficult. By the way, what happened to Yahoo? Is there any plan for the A round?"
"Yes, birth, they are not so short of money now. White Bank just gave a credit line of 100 million dollars. They are completely crazy, and the valuation they gave is actually higher than ICQ."
The boss of Damo was dizzy for a while, damn, you dare to take 500 million in the A round. Don't talk about making money, you don't even have any income.
"Andy, help me make an appointment with Don Valentine, he must be having a bad day recently, right?"
"William White's big bullying is really unreasonable. Many investors go to White Economics to negotiate with Sequoia.
Sequoia is just a venture capital investment, and its reputation is still very bad. The white series also has angel wheels, which are much more friendly to those who are just starting out. "
"Damn, isn't he just fooling around?"
Andy really didn't know what to say, everyone had a great time. You Citigroup and Sequoia are going to have a moth, well, now you have an even more unreasonable one.
The old guy from Damo decided to talk to someone who understands. It is really difficult for him to understand the new thing of the Internet.
Burning money, this is the most popular phrase in Silicon Valley. Where it began to spread is now impossible to verify.
From e-mail to portals, from search engines to ICQ, all are sparing no effort to burn money.
The old guy can't understand how to make a profit. The purpose of burning money is indeed very clear. This is basically clearing the field. If you don't have the corresponding money to burn, you can't play them at all.
