Chapter 886 Preparing to Make Money
Yang Dongxu's first stop was the United States. This year, Haina's overseas revenue can be said to have increased significantly, especially the several Hollywood movies he invested in. The great success brought Haina hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue, and Haina's total revenue increased by more than ten percentage points.
And most of the Hollywood stars who became famous through several movies signed contracts with Haina. This has made the foundation of Haina's overseas companies continue to be enriched.
And with a certain box office appeal, when you can make money, you no longer beg to find people to cooperate, but countless capitals come to you to cooperate. Those little devil-like troubles before, these capitals can help you clean up without you asking. It's so easy.
However, in addition to Haina's proud revenue, another reason for choosing the United States is Yiting Technology. With the development of Dongxu Technology, MP3 has now become popular, and MP4 has also begun to occupy a certain market share.
As a music website, Yiting Technology has millions of paying members after several years of development. In this year's Internet bubble wave, it was not hit hard, but because of so many strong paying users, the market value has risen.
This time, Yang Dongxu came to the United States to discuss the expansion of Easy Listening Technology with Smith. From the perspective of music websites, Easy Listening Technology is already second to none in the United States and has the same credibility as the music billboard.
For the ranking of some songs, especially the recommendation of new songs, Easy Listening Technology can be said to have been supported by most listeners, and many people believe that the music rankings ranked by Easy Listening Technology are the most fair.
But a simple music company cannot survive better, or it can be said that Easy Listening Technology has reached a calm state of development at present. He has already achieved the extreme in the field of pure music websites. If he wants to develop better, he must expand business channels. Yang Dongxu came here to discuss this matter.
"Post Bar, are you talking about the message board?" Smith asked his big boss.
Although Yang Dongxu is not often in the United States, Smith led the team to achieve today's achievements and his net worth is more than 10 million beauties, but he is not arrogant at all.
It's not because he is afraid of the big boss in front of him, but he knows that the core of Easy Listening Technology is in the hands of his boss. If he has any small thoughts, he will get out in a minute, or even go to jail.
The core is undoubtedly the music copyright that music websites must have. Yiting Technology covers the copyright of all songs in the world. Many new songs will be included in Yiting Technology for free in order to hit the charts. In the future, not only will they not have to pay him copyright fees, but they will also pay Yiting Technology advertising fees.
The copyright of all songs does not belong to Yiting Technology, but to the big boss sitting opposite him. It is not just the music copyright. The various websites and software designed by Yang Dongxu are also patented.
Yang Dongxu will only be a little troublesome if he leaves him, but he will soon find a replacement. This person may not be as capable as him, but as long as there is no problem with management, Yiting Technology will stabilize quickly. If he leaves Yiting Technology, he will be nothing. Even if he works in related jobs, he will definitely be sued for bankruptcy by Yiting Technology and then sent directly to prison.
"It's not a message board, or an upgraded version of a message board. Let's try this." Qiu Bosong has completed the first phase of research and development of Tieba and is currently conducting internal trial operations.
This thing is suitable for discussing various things on the Internet, and naturally it is also suitable for discussing music on it. Because he was afraid that he could not control it, Yang Dongxu had been letting Yiting Technology develop in the field of music websites, and did not involve other things.
However, now Haina has established a firm foothold overseas, and Yiting Technology no longer needs to create pressure in public opinion, because he is going to directly acquire several newspapers to speak for himself.
In this case, a music website is undoubtedly in his eyes. Even if foreign copyright protection is very good, Yiting Technology has made a profit of more than 100 million US dollars this year.
But music websites can only be regarded as a small part of the Internet industry, and he continued to waste too much energy. Therefore, he decided to start arming Yiting Music, and then push it to the market, and see if it will be sold after making a wave of money in the stock market.
Smith looked at the simplified version of Tieba in front of him. From registration to posting, and then to commenting, he operated it under the guidance of Yang Dongxu. As the operation became brighter and brighter, he clapped his hands and kept giving thumbs up, praising this as a work of God.
Compared with Microsoft's MSN or ICQ instant messaging software, Tieba seems to be unable to communicate in time, but it has an advantage that these two chat software do not have, that is, Tieba can be open to everyone.
That is to say, the posts or messages you send out can be seen not only by your friends, but also by many strangers. In this way, you can convey your meaning to many previously unrelated people at the same time, and then a group of strangers get together to discuss this common hobby, which is simply amazing.
"Boss, this is definitely a product designed by God. We should buy it, no, we must buy it, it will definitely be a big hit, even worse than music websites." Smith breathed heavily, waving his hands and grabbing Yang Dongxu. .
"Calm down, Smith." Being held by a fat man weighing nearly 200 pounds, Yang Dongxu didn't feel any danger, but he felt annoyed. So he pulled out his arm and said, "I have already obtained the authorization, Smith. What you need to do now is to make it perfectly integrated with the message board of the music website, and then we will prepare to go public."
"Go public?" Smith's breathing became heavier.
If seeing the Tieba product before was the admiration and excitement of a good product as a peer, now it is completely the stimulation of money, and the stimulation of huge money.
As the manager of Yiting Technology, Smith has obtained some stock options, and Yiting Technology is currently a standout in the Internet bubble, which has made the company's market valuation continue to rise and his net worth has reached the tens of millions.
But this is just a valuation, not the real money in hand. But going public is different. The shares in his hands are no longer valuations, but real money that can be transferred and cashed out. As long as he wants, he can really sleep on tens of millions of dollars.
"That's right, we'll go public. As for whether to raise funds before going public, let's see how this little thing develops. If we increase the activity of the website, not just the activity of the music, I think we can sell our shares at a good price, right?" Yang Dongxu winked at Smith.
"That's right, Boss. If this little thing is done well, it will definitely double our net worth." Smith said with sparkling eyes.
His current estimated net worth is already tens of millions. If this forum is done well, then his net worth will definitely double. This is just a doubling after financing, and then it will be magnified when it goes public. Smith suddenly found that billionaires are so close to him.
Is this exaggerated?
Not at all. You have to know that this is the United States, and this is Silicon Valley, the center of the world's Internet. As long as an Internet company successfully goes public, it will instantly have several billionaires, and it is not too easy to have dozens of multi-millionaires and hundreds of millionaires.
For example, IBM, Microsoft, Apple, etc. have all successfully achieved this, why can't they? Moreover, Yiting Technology is the leader in the current music website market, with millions of paying users, a total turnover of several hundred million, and a profit of over 100 million.
After the financing amplifier was amplified, and after the listing, the stock market amplifier was used to amplify it again, the market value of 2 billion US dollars has been beckoning to this music website again.
"Do it well, I believe you can do it." Yang Dongxu patted Smith on the shoulder.
Compared with before, Smith, who has gained weight, kept nodding his head, and his fat was shaking, and his eyes had turned into dollar signs.
Not only him, after he went out to announce the company's preparation for listing, all the old members of the company cheered, because they also had stock options in their hands, that is, one of the multi-millionaires or millionaires mentioned before.
"How much can your company be worth after listing?" Bai Xi, who had a thin face and a kind of skinny beauty, couldn't help but speak.
Originally, Yang Dongxu brought her to the United States to let her temporarily stay away from the vortex of the Bai family's property disputes and go abroad to relax, but Bai Xi didn't go to relax during this period. She has been by his side, watching him deal with various things.
At first, Betsy was very surprised. For example, she knew that Haina had developed very well abroad and even entered the entertainment industry's holy hall Hollywood, but she didn't expect Haina to develop so well in Hollywood and even successfully acquired its own film company, occupying a place in Hollywood.
In addition to Haina, there are many world-class companies that Betsy has only heard of but not understood. Yang Dongxu is actually a shareholder. This music website company that appeared in front of her also seems to be very powerful. She feels that she can't keep up with Yang Dongxu's pace.
"The minimum is 1 billion US dollars. Although the industry is not doing well now because of the Internet bubble. But Yiting Music has not been affected by the Internet bubble.
On the contrary, this bubble is more dazzling. Compared with other Internet companies, any concept product comes out to hype and make money. Yiting Music has millions of paying users and its annual net profit has exceeded 100 million US dollars.
In the eyes of American venture capitalists, such a company is a high-quality company. It is no problem to hype the first round of financing with a valuation of 1 billion, and then it is not impossible to double it after packaging and listing."
"Two or two billion US dollars?" Betsy's breathing was a little heavy. What is the current ratio of US dollars to RMB?
