Chapter 1448 Facebook IPO

After chatting with Tang Jun in depth, Li Rui hung up the phone and realized that it was already very late.

He was about to go to bed when a call from Magnesium Country came.

The caller was Fu Shande, but this time he brought not news about Yahoo, but from Facebook.

"Facebook has applied for iPod!" Fu Shande said excitedly.

Li Rui was stunned for a moment before remembering why Fu Shande was so excited. Last year, he spent 1 billion magnesium to buy 1.6% of the stocks held by Facebook employees. Currently, it is being held by a financial institution in a magnesium country. Now Facebook has started the IPO program, and I don’t know how much this part of the stock can appreciate.

"Don't panic, just talk slowly." I felt that Fu Shande was very excited, and Li Rui was afraid that he would have a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. Besides, the stocks are mine and not yours, why are you so excited?

Fu Shandedao: "Facebook just announced that it has submitted an iPo application to the securities regulatory agency of Magnesium. Its valuation is between 75 billion and 100 billion magnesium. The initial public offering of stocks is 5 billion magnesium, which is the largest iPo in Silicon Valley so far!"

Li Rui smiled and said, "100 billion...is consistent with Facebook's identity."

Facebook does have this kind of confidence. It currently has 800 million active users around the world, and one out of every 14 people has opened an account on Facebook. This is the result that the mainland of Xiaguo did not open its Facebook business, otherwise it would be even more amazing!

Last year, Facebook's revenue was 3.71 billion magnesium and its net profit was 1 billion magnesium, mainly from advertising and developer sharing. Both business model and business volume have had a huge impact on traditional Internet advertising giant Yahoo Google Pipeline and other companies.

Facebook’s ipo can be said to be a natural thing, after all, too many early investors are already waiting to cash out.

For example, Peter Schill, the first external investor of Facebook, invested 500,000 magnesium start-up capital in 2004, accounting for 10.2% of the shares. After being sold and diluted, there is still 3% left. If calculated based on Facebook's highest valuation of 100 billion, his 500,000 magnesium will receive a 6,000-fold return on investment, which will turn into 3 billion magnesium!

Last year, Li Rui spent 1 billion magnesium to buy 1.6% of Facebook's stock, and according to the valuation, it also increased to 1.6 billion magnesium.

Making a profit of 600 million magnesium in just a few months is definitely a pretty good investment, but this is not Li Rui’s goal.

Li Rui’s goal is to either own Facebook or destroy Facebook!

He had to do this because Facebook had too much power.

In the future, Facebook will become a public facility-like existence, which sounds a bit ridiculous, right? But this is the truth.

Social networks are becoming tools to dominate the world.

People play games through Facebook.

Use the shopping component in Facebook to select shopping locations or even place an order directly.

There are also Netflix and spotify components on Facebook, which can watch movies, listen to music and share them with friends directly on the page.

PayPal has also connected to Facebook and can use it to pay and transfer money...

In reality, you can do anything on Facebook, and it is even more convenient. Every function and organization in society has become a component of Facebook. It has affected the relationship between people, business, and government in an unprecedented way!

It can even affect the presidential candidates, and regarding this, Lao Tang can set an example in a few years.

Compared to money, Li Rui coveted this kind of power more, but he did not desire power for his own benefit.

He has a super huge plan, one that will definitely make people excited...

Fu Shande said he could not understand Li Rui's calm reaction: "You can earn at least 600 million, are you not happy at all?"

Li Rui asked back: "Is it worth being happy?"

Fu Shande was speechless. Why did he forget? Li Rui, who earned 700 to 80 billion magnesium in one go through Sofebwe, certainly would not take this "just" 600 million magnesium in detail.

Li Rui smiled and continued: "I think Facebook's market value will sooner or later exceed one trillion."

"What!" Fu Shande was shocked.

Facebook iPo’s valuation of 100 billion magnesium has already made Fu Shande feel incredible, excited Silicon Valley’s sentiment and made many investors celebrate.

If Facebook rose to 1,000 billion magnesium market value in the future... Fu Shande couldn't even imagine it. Anyway, he felt that he would not see that day in his lifetime.

Otherwise, Li Rui's investment of 1 billion magnesium will become 16 billion. This rate of return is too terrible, right?

"Old Fu, you must have imagination!" Li Rui said with a smile.

He won’t say much, otherwise he will be suspected of revealing the secrets of heaven.

Fu Shande said: "I still don't believe it. The Chinese people themselves are not particularly optimistic. Some economists on Wall Street have made pessimistic predictions, thinking that Facebook's valuation of 100 billion is a bit inflated, and even have many bubble components..."

Li Rui said: "Don't think too much, don't forget that my stocks have two-year holding periods, and they can't take action in two years, no matter how high or low it is."

Fu Shande was stunned: "That's right, then I can only hope that Facebook can maintain rapid development within two years. Anyway, your investment will only make money and not lose money!"

After chatting with Fu Shande, Li Rui lay on the bed and felt his head empty.

It was so brain-consuming to deal with a group of people. After thinking about this for two seconds, Li Rui quickly fell asleep and slept until noon the next day.

Wednesday, February 1, 2012, the tenth day of the first lunar month.

Li Rui got good news early in the morning.

"Too Embarrassing" was released for nine days. After the reputation of the previous few days, the box office has steadily increased, exceeding 300 million in five days, exceeding 400 million in seven days, and exceeding 500 million in nine days. The box office in a single day is over 60 million, making all the movies of the same period full of teeth!

"Detective Sherlock Holmes" only posed a threat to "Too Embarrassing" in the first three days, and then the box office dropped rapidly. "Mission: Impossible 4" originally scheduled to be released on January 28 saw that "Too Embarrassing" was so powerful that it was temporarily changed to the Lantern Festival on February 6.

To force Hollywood blockbusters to reschedule, you can imagine how explosive the box office of "Too Hug" is. Moreover, with the arrival of the trend of returning to the city, the box office of first- and second-tier cities has increased significantly. It can be foreseeable that this wave of craze will continue for a long time.

Perhaps because of the fact that there were too many cakes, there were sour sounds in the media, ridiculing "Too Hug" to make a big box office by giving away free tickets.

Xingrui Entertainment immediately threw out data and slapped the face, saying that about two-thirds of the 500 million box office revenue they have earned came from the audience's own expenses, and the number of tickets given out was only over 100 million.

The ratings on Douban and various other websites also prove this. The 8.5 points are not the highest among domestic comedy movies, but they are also among the best. Many viewers expressed their hope that "Too Embarrassing" can be made into a series.
Chapter completed!
