Chapter 2238 Find the Door-to-Door Social Networking Site

"Come on, Bu'er, call Dad... Oh, Mom forgot that you can't speak yet, so cry for him... Hehe..."

Listening to the slightly hoarse girl's voice on the phone, Xiao Qi felt both funny and warm in his heart.

Oh, it's not appropriate to say girls.

Tang Mingxiang and Xiao Qi were born in the same year, only about three months younger than Xiao Qi. Although she is only 21 years old this year, she is already a mother. Naturally, she can't be called a girl. appropriate.

Now that Tang Mingxiang is still in the United States, the person who is hugged by her next to the phone and makes a "babbling" sound is naturally Xiao Qi's second daughter, Bu'er.

But Bu'er is only over a month old, so how can he talk?

So she was only teased by her mother, and by the way, she was also used to tease her father.

But Tang Mingxiang wasn't too complacent, after a while she exclaimed, and then put the phone aside, and when she picked it up, there was another "click, click" sucking sound from the microphone.

"Your daughter is going to be breastfeeding again." Tang Mingxiang said to Xiao Qi with a smile, "The little guy has no worse appetite than Hammer, and luckily your wife has enough capital, if it is changed to Xiaocai, she will definitely die with tears in her eyes." Find milk powder, hahaha..."

Xiao Qi acted as if he didn't hear what this girl said, so he absolutely didn't answer.

Tang Mingxiang didn't deliberately target Huangfucai. After joking, she turned to the main topic, "Honey, the US stock market is not doing well recently. Do you think I should calm down and stop investing?"

Xiao Qi was very familiar with Tang Mingxiang, and said with a smile, "What? Is there any new project that you find interesting?"

After repurchasing Chose girl's shares, Xiao Meiji only has 3 billion US dollars left in her hands. Of course, it is not enough for Chose girl to continue to expand and develop, so Xiao Qi prepared 10 billion US dollars for her in Citibank. It is said that funds are still abundant.

Tang Mingxiang has a total of three major industries, needless to say Chose girl, that is her favorite and the one that spends the most money so far.

Another Zappos shoe online monopoly B2C site. Tang Mingxiang bought it for more than two years, and only invested an additional two to three hundred million at the beginning. Now, thanks to the efforts of the founding team, it has developed rapidly, and its business covers 49 states in the continental United States.

In 2008, Zappos' turnover has exceeded 1.4 billion US dollars, far exceeding its previous year's 900 million turnover.

Because of this, JPMorgan Chase valued Zappos at 2.3 billion U.S. dollars, which is much higher than the 1.2 billion U.S. dollars they sold to Amazon this year in the previous life.

The third industry is the most valuable. But Tang Mingxiang didn't need to worry about Facebook the least.

Facebook can be said to be the most attention-grabbing Internet company in the United States now, just like GOOGLE seven or eight years ago.

With Tang Mingxiang's financial support, Facebook has surpassed the trajectory of the previous life. In 2008, it killed its old rival, Myspace. The number of users exceeded 190 million ahead of schedule, becoming the world's number one social networking site.

Zuckerberg is indeed brilliant. When he had money to expand, he was bold and fast, keeping Facebook on the right path.

Zuckerberg has one big downside though...well. It can't be said to be a shortcoming, but a small problem that all successful people have, that is, taking power.

Zuckerberg will not tolerate anyone telling him what to do. The decisions he makes must be implemented, and there are seldom changes.

So even if Tang Mingxiang owns 40% of Facebook shares. She also didn't get a chance at Facebook.

Of course, this is also the reason why Tang Mingxiang has no interest in controlling Facebook.

It's just that seeing Facebook's market value soar by more than 40%, Tang Mingxiang is still very happy.

And she has already seen that if Facebook continues to develop at the current speed, I am afraid that it will be able to realize the dream of "connecting the world" that Zuckerberg said, and thus achieve the sky-high market value of more than 200 billion US dollars that her husband said!

Although Chose girl will definitely develop and grow, but the market value of 200 billion US dollars is beyond the reach of Chose girl.

Can have such an influential and huge network empire. Tang Mingxiang felt pretty good.

"Yes, there is an entrepreneurial team these days. They have been calling me all the time, and I almost scolded them." Tang Mingxiang said helplessly, "But after taking a closer look at their creativity and operating model, I find it quite interesting. .”

"what company?"

"Tagged, have you heard of it? It's also a social networking site."

"Oh, it's them." Xiao Qi laughed, "I've heard of it, it's a very good social networking site with its own characteristics."

Tagged is not well-known now, but it will be very famous in the future. It will be one of the top ten social networking sites in the United States in the future, and it is also the only social networking site that overlaps with Facebook users but can develop well.

Other American social networking sites, except for Myspace, which is supported by News Corp., are either professional social networking sites like LinkedIn or highly targeted sites like Yammer. Only by differentiated development can they gain a foothold in the market.

The success of Tagged is that it has captured the under-16 group that Facebook has ignored.

Facebook started at Harvard University, so its development is to go up from college students over the age of 18, attracting young people aged 18-38, and capturing this group of users will capture the attention of the entire society. The backbone, so Facebook's dominance is unshakable.

Tagged’s way of survival is that it captures the 16-12-year-old youth group in Europe and the United States. The loyalty in this group is very high, so it can be of the same type as Facebook, but it doesn’t have to worry about becoming a source of growth for Facebook. The cannon fodder in it has been able to develop very smoothly.

Children aged 16-12 like novelty things the most, making all kinds of interesting friends, bragging and playing games together with like-minded people... This kind of network environment is what Tagged can create for them Yes, and it is the most capable of creating this kind of environment.

In the future, Tagged will even go one step further, aiming at users in the 35-49 age group that Facebook did not cover, and once again achieved success, it is still catching up with Facebook.

However, compared to Facebook's success, Tagged's valuation has not been high, and in 2012 it was only about 600 million US dollars.

You know, at that time, Tagged claimed to have 300 million users.

Well, the main reason for this neglect is that among the 300 million users, the monthly active users are less than 50 million, which is much worse than Facebook.

But it is undeniable that Tagged does have a very distinctive and unique place, so Xiao Qi gave it the most reasonable valuation range, which is about 3 billion US dollars.

But it will be at least five or ten years before it can reach 3 billion US dollars.

Now that Tagged has just encountered the worst financial crisis, even Facebook's valuation growth has slowed down a lot, let alone Tagged, a social networking site with less than 100 million users.

They asked Tang Mingxiang for financing, obviously because of insufficient development funds.

"As expected, you have heard of it." The bright girl smiled happily, "They are now facing difficulties in their development, so they are looking for people to invest everywhere, and my Mingxiang Venture Capital has successfully owned 40% of Facebook shares, so they are also targeted by them. It’s up, and they insist on letting me invest in them.”

"What is their own valuation? How much do they want?" Xiao Qi asked.

"Oh~~Xiao Qi! Your daughter works so hard, she is such a greedy girl!" Tang Mingxiang suddenly exclaimed, with a strong smile in her voice.

Xiao Qi imagined the situation on the other side of the phone, and felt warm in his heart, "Xiao Xiang'er, when it's summer, you'd better bring Bu'er back as soon as possible!"

"No, you want to come and see our mother and daughter~~" Tang Mingxiang chuckled, and continued: "Tagged hopes to get 20 million financing, and Mingxiang Venture Capital can get 5% of their shares."

"It's high." Xiao Qi shook his head, "How about this, you invest 100 million US dollars in them and ask for 40% of their shares. If you don't want to, forget it. They are not the only good companies."

"Well, I'll make a note of it." Tang Mingxiang tapped Fenzhen lightly, she trusted her man's vision very much.

Except for Chose girl, who she is interested in running, the rest of the company is just an investment, and it is private money left for Buer and her younger siblings, so there is no need to worry about it.

After talking about the business, Bu'er, who had just eaten and drank enough, was teased by her mother again, asking her to interact with her father.

As a result, the little girl was pissed off, and she burst into tears.

Hearing his wife coaxing the little girl in a hurry, and the mother-in-law who heard the sound and kept scolding her daughter, Xiao Qi felt warm in his heart, and wished he could fly to the United States immediately to join his wife and daughter. In the middle, play with them.

Compared with family, business or something, you must still have to step back! (to be continued ~^~)
