Chapter 2213 Valuation Rises Again
In the midst of tense negotiations on the conditions for the equity transfer of APP STORE, the New Year's Eve has gradually passed, and the annual Spring Festival is approaching step by step.
Most of the companies and enterprises in Huaguo usually have holidays close to the Spring Festival, and what is most criticized is that the holiday regulations given by the country are actually only on the first day of the new year.
In other words, you have to go to work on New Year's Eve.
Of course, in most companies and enterprises, it is impossible to strictly enforce this kind of regulation. Even if your boss wants to exploit another day on New Year’s Eve, it will definitely be resisted by all workers and employees. In the end, the gains outweigh the losses .
Therefore, many enterprises and companies usually go through the motions on this day, or simply have a holiday on the afternoon of the New Year's Eve, when they should go home and play when they should go.
The above refers to office workers, and generally refers to local companies and factories.
Generally, people who come here from other places to work in factories, restaurants and restaurants, don’t expect him to stay at the place where he works during the New Year’s Eve. He usually has to go home on the New Year’s Eve when he is far away from home. Whether you agree or not, anyway People just want to leave.
There are also some people who are not affected by going to work.
Apart from retirees, these people are students and children.
The Spring Festival holiday is definitely a rare and good holiday for children. Although it is not as long as the summer vacation, the harvest must be more than the summer vacation. During the Spring Festival, which family does not give the children some New Year's money?
Especially for those students who have grown up, they will get more.
Because life is better now and income has increased, children in the city still have thousands of dollars in their pockets for the New Year, and one or two hundred in the countryside is also indispensable.
This year is even more fun for high school and college students in the city.
Because they can not only get the New Year's money stuffed into their hands by the elders, but also grab the red envelopes from the WeChat on the mobile phone, and grab many red envelopes sent by the elders.
One of the biggest advantages of WeChat, that is, the biggest element of its popularity, is that it can use this software. Link the reality and the Internet through the mobile phone, and form one circle after another in WeChat. It is the same as in reality, and it is even bigger than reality, spanning the distance of space.
This refers to WeChat Moments.
A circle of friends can collect all your relatives and friends, post videos, voices, pictures... all kinds of communication are easy and convenient, and how can you do without WeChat?
Now, many half-aged children have begun to have their own circle of friends.
However, most of high school students and college students cannot afford IPHONG and Dream Stars. They can only buy smartphones from Nokia and Motorola, and Samsung's S1 can also be used.
But these mobile phones are not very kind. The price they sell abroad usually increases by 10%-20% when they come to China, which is far less straightforward and generous than Xiao Qi.
If it weren't for the 20% discount on Dream Stars, and the cheapest 16G version would cost more than 3,500, they would definitely buy Dream Stars with the best quality and the most beautiful appearance!
Because of this, so many people in Huaguo are looking forward to the release of Fairy Company's mid-range mobile phone Dream Snow.
The price of 1999 is the most suitable for the student party! !
The topic comes back to the present.
The key to grabbing red envelopes on WeChat lies in the word "grab". The red envelopes sent to the circle of friends did not say who was assigned to them, and whoever snatched them would get them.
compared to adults. Children prefer this kind of "money grabbing" game.
For no reason, you get dozens, hundreds, or even hundreds of games. Who doesn't want to participate?
If the children like it, the adults will naturally be willing to send a lot of money.
In today's Chinese families, most uncles and uncles in their 40s and 50s are not the only child, and generally have several brothers and sisters.
Such a big family, although there are not many children in the next generation, but together they will have many.
In addition to the children of friends, children of colleagues, etc., basically in a circle of friends, there are a dozen or twenty children over the age of seventeen or eighteen.
An adult gave red envelopes to the children. After the children talked at the dinner table, the parents of other children were always embarrassed to not move. Post some more or less... After such a cycle, the children all laughed from ear to ear.
This trendy way has directly led to a surge in the number of WeChat red envelopes.
From 7.78 million in the first day to the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month, the number of red envelopes per day has exceeded 20 million, and it is still increasing.
Wechat red envelopes do not care about money. In fact, the more than 20 million red envelopes add up to two or three billion. Compared with the red envelopes in real life, this number is just a trivial matter.
The main thing is that everyone is happy and happy, feeling the fun brought by new technologies and the lively atmosphere of the New Year.
Ordinary people just like to grab red envelopes on WeChat, and find this app interesting and innovative, but for insiders, the meaning of grabbing red envelopes on WeChat is different.
First of all, the first point, Hong Kong Goldman Sachs gave a new assessment report two days ago, which actually reached a super high valuation of 200 billion yuan!
Originally, in December last year, Goldman Sachs gave WeChat a valuation of 180 billion yuan, an increase of 20 billion from the valuation a few months ago.
Don’t look at the increase of 20 billion, but you have to consider that the last valuation was in August, and the next few months were when the financial tsunami broke out. Countless companies were suppressed, and the stock prices fell in a mess. Micro. Not only did Xinxin not fall after 4 months, but its valuation increased by 20 billion, which already shows that its value is very high.
But this time, in less than a month after the release of WeChat Red Envelopes in January, Goldman Sachs immediately gave a valuation of another 20 billion yuan, an increase of up to 10%. Let’s talk about the super power of the app WeChat grabbing red envelopes.
In fact, everyone has long been eyeing the two pieces of fat from the WeChat company and the Weibo company.
Although Weibo has a smaller valuation, it now has a huge scale of more than 600 million, and it also has a growing number of young users. The valuation of 35 billion yuan is not high for it at all.
Although there is no commercial operation for the time being, the valuation of Weibo should not be so low.
It's just because the current Weibo is still operated by the four major portals Xinglang, Sohu, Wangyi and Penguin. Their respective operating goals and methods are different, which has caused these 600 million users to work independently, thus reducing the number of users. The influence of the entire Weibo.
However, Huangfu Holdings only signed a three-year contract with the four major portals at the beginning. In April 2010, that is, more than a year later, the four major portals will no longer have the rights and interests of Weibo. The four major micro-blogs were transferred back to the micro-blog company.
At the beginning, the four major portals just thought that Weibo was a tool to attract more people to their websites. There is no use for it at all, and it doesn't matter if it is returned to Weibo.
But now, they are horrified to see that Weibo's user stickiness is getting stronger and stronger, and it is a self-contained system.
Celebrities have set up their homes on Weibo one after another, and fans have followed this one and that one after another. Even now, more than 80% of the news on the Internet is disseminated through Weibo. ——Although Wei.xin is powerful, but Wei.xin is more for connecting acquaintances, while Wei.blog is for all people on the Internet.
After the author of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" left the website, didn't he continue to publish on Weibo, which attracted huge popularity, and finally became popular all over China?
There are many, many examples like this. The entire Weibo platform has now become a platform for the dissemination of information and information, which is more convenient and quicker than TV, news, newspapers and magazines combined.
Tell me, under such circumstances, why don’t people like Weibo, why don’t they like to soak in it all day long, read Weibo news, and comment on Weibo?
The vitality of Weibo is so strong that the four major portals are now riding a tiger.
Their contract period has exceeded half, and if they continue to operate, it will be purely a dowry for Weibo.
But if it doesn't continue to operate, then so many users will be handed over to others in vain to strengthen the strength of other portals!
More than a year is enough for others to abandon themselves for a long time!
With such an idea in mind, the four major portals kept sending people to contact Huangfucai, hoping to buy a part of the Weibo company's shares, and then let the Weibo company continue to operate according to the current model.
As for the operating expenses, of course they are responsible for it themselves, and they will also give Weibo Company full profits.
However, except for the slightly higher market value of Penguin, the four major gateways have a market value of RMB 20-30 billion, which is not as high as Weibo.
So how many shares they want to buy, and how to cooperate with Weibo in the future, it is still a very long process of discussion and negotiation.
But no matter how you say it, Huangfu Holdings Co., Ltd. can be regarded as making money from Weibo Company's pot of gold.
Although the money-making effect is not as good as that of the WeChat company, it far exceeds it in terms of the information influence on the entire news and entertainment!
The soft power in this aspect is also very important to Huangfu Cai, which is really a good way to expand the influence of Huangfu Holdings.
Weibo is responsible for influence, and WeChat is responsible for making money. The two complement each other, and Huangfu Holdings can continue to develop steadily! (to be continued ~^~)
