March 12.
Today, for LinkedIn, it is definitely a big day since its establishment three years ago.
Because starting from today, LinkedIn has only Zhu Ke as a wholly-owned shareholder, and has ushered in several very powerful allies!
The A round of financing opened by LinkedIn has attracted the attention of countless investors at home and abroad.
Capital tycoons, financial supermen, and giant companies....There are a lot of them, they all want to share this delicious piece of LinkedIn cake.
"Bloomberg", "Finance", "Fortune", "Washington Post" and a series of well-known media, launched a series of reports;
NBC, CBS, ABC and other mainstream TV stations, and their financial channels also focus on reporting;
The local media in Seattle made a direct sensation!
With a valuation of more than US$420 million, people with a discerning eye know that LinkedIn is going to start a sweeping mode, sweeping away all competitors in the same industry that are catching up.
"The overlord in the field of online recruitment and online job agency is about to be born!"
This is the front page headline of the new report of Caijing media, which has attracted a lot of people in the United States to discuss.
"The value of LinkedIn is absolutely underestimated. It has long been the overlord in the field of online recruitment and online job placement. I'm sure that in ten years, it will definitely become a unicorn company with a market value of more than ten billion U.S. dollars!" Well-known Economist Twa Sloan said.
Internet job agencies of the same type are terrified!
One of them counts as one, and they are all extremely nervous now!
Interactive recruitment companies are an obvious example.
White Williams, the CEO of the interactive recruitment company and one of the founders, said with fear: "The companies that cooperate with LinkedIn involve energy, finance, services, agriculture, real estate and other aspects, covering almost all the social You can imagine the types of work, even if it is a 100-American company, the LinkedIn company is a partnership, and there is even a strategic partnership."
"My God~"
"It was originally the leader of this industry. Once it has successfully obtained a lot of funds and a few powerful allies, then how do we play?"
"In the future, who can curb the development of LinkedIn?!"
White Williams is so angry, there is an urge to lift the table right now!
The other colleagues were also angry, but there was nothing to do.
No way~
The foundation Zhu Ke laid for LinkedIn is too reliable!
At one time, the development of the Internet industry was based on the number of users won. Looking at LinkedIn, it is obvious that this is not the case.
In the development process of LinkedIn, not only attaches great importance to the growth of the number of users, but also pays more attention to the level of user experience. The high-quality jobs offered by big companies have always firmly attracted the attention of job seekers.
"Its foundation is too strong. We want to surpass it. It is very difficult and almost desperate." Each of the colleagues was extremely aggrieved.
"In the business model, the most terrifying thing is not winning by creativity, nor is it crushed by large amounts of money, but steadily and steadily, one step at a time!"
"Obviously, LinkedIn is following this steady and steady strategy."
Well, the same goes for Amazon with Bei's bald head. When other companies started to expand overseas, Amazon was still very ambitious, and worked hard to cultivate the North American market, turning it into an iron bucket.
........
After some consideration, Zhuke directly decided to join the four companies.
They are Amazon Mall, Microsoft, Heidrick & Struggles Headhunting Company, and Languan Capital in Europe, these are these 4 companies!
1. Amazon Mall, needless to say, it is the e-commerce hegemon in North America today, and the originator of cloud computing in the future, with strong strength;
2. Even though Microsoft has been deeply investigated by antitrust and suffered heavy losses in the Internet bubble, it is still the overlord of the software field in the world today, and its strength is a mess;
3. Heidrick & Struggles Headhunting Company, one of the five largest headhunting companies in the world, has super human resource information around the world, especially the information collection of senior elite talents. Few commercial companies in the world can reach it;
4. Languan Capital, the third largest hedge fund in Europe. Michael Pratt, the boss of Blue Crown Capital, is a guest of politicians from various European countries and regions. At the same time, he is also a member of the EU economic advisory team. He has strong connections and influence in Europe.
The joining of four powerful allies instantly gave LinkedIn a qualitative leap in capital, contacts, and network.
As soon as the news came out, it caused a sensation instantly!
The "Washington Post" issued an article for the first time: "A strong alliance, there is no doubt that a giant company is about to rise!"
The "Boston Evening News" published an article: "It is foreseeable that the online recruitment and online job agency industries will usher in a major crackdown and a major earthquake!"
"Bloomberg" published an article saying: "Without Wall Street investment banks participating? Zhuke Wald himself is a member of Wall Street and a very strategic investor. In the United States, his LinkedIn company doesn't need it at all. The financial support of Wall Street. At least not in the A round of financing, but it is not ruled out that Wall Street investment banks will join in the B and C rounds of financing."
.......
The repeated reports of many well-known media have made LinkedIn's popularity rise again and again. That is to say, LinkedIn is currently not a listed company, otherwise, the stock price will definitely rise.
Of course, how can the "California Entertainment News" and "Los Angeles Entertainment News" be missing from the reports of multiple media?
The two entertainment media reports on finance, finance, and Internet information. How do they look at them?
But who made them Zhuke's **** doglegs? !
As long as it is about Zhuke himself or Zhuke's industry, you can definitely see them publish reports for the first time.
"California Entertainment, Los Angeles Entertainment, their tenderness is a shame in the media industry!"
Many media newspapers have complained about them countless times.
.......
At the latest LinkedIn shareholder meeting.
Zhu Ke made it clear: "Within one year, we will completely win the North American market and increase LinkedIn's market share from the current 52% to more than 80%, and become a veritable online recruitment and online job agency overlord!"
Shareholders and shareholder representatives of Microsoft, Amazon, Heidrick & Struggle, Blue Crown Capital and the four parties unanimously support Zhu Ke's decision.
And, it's very similar to LinkedIn's ability to achieve this set goal.
As the chairman of LinkedIn, Zhu Ke has a strong sense of Internet management, which is deeply supported by two companies, Microsoft and Amazon.
"In the future, our LinkedIn company will not only be satisfied with online recruitment and online job placement, but also achieve long-term development in Internet news and timely information, online education, etc., and strive to become one of the new forces in the social field."
Zhu Ke said in a deep voice ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ In a word, pure online recruitment and online job placement are not Zhu Ke's plan for LinkedIn at all, and the vision is obviously higher and farther.
In general, LinkedIn’s Series A financing is very fast!
Quickly cut the mess!
The reason why it is so fast is... Lang Youqing concubine intentionally!
Since then, Zhu Ke's shareholding in LinkedIn has been reduced from 100% to 75%. Paid shares, with a valuation of more than 420 million U.S. dollars, won more than 130 million U.S. dollars in cash flow, and obtained 4 powerful partners.
Even in the future, after the B round, C round of financing, or even after the listing, Zhu Ke's shareholding ratio will be reduced to less than 20%, or less, Zhu Ke is sure to firmly hold the power of LinkedIn.
"" The third update is sent.
Don't think that 20% of the shares are small, and the founders of listed companies with a market value of more than tens of billions of dollars rarely have more than 8% of the shares.
