Vol 6 Chapter 446: Self-contained

The main things that have changed are Dorsey and Stone.

Stone turned his head and looked at Williams. Although he could see that he was trying to cover it up, anyone could see his surprise, because his mouth was still slightly open.

It's no wonder he doesn't have a city mansion. In fact, Williams's offer was too much of his expectations.

800 million dollars?

You know, when discussing this number before, he jokingly said, "500 million US dollars,"

Everyone froze for a moment, then laughed wildly.

Because that can be said to be the largest number they can think of.

In July last year, the valuation was 25 million. This year they only determined that the valuation should be close to 100 million U.S. dollars. He jokingly said to sell 500 million, and then everyone really determined it was 500 million, but now you are Became 800 million?

I'm not a billionaire, so can anyone tell me, after reaching 100 million, the dollar is really just a number?

Stone wanted to ask at this moment, is there a problem with my ears and a wrong hearing, or is there a problem with your brain and a wrong statement?

Dorsey did not go to see Williams, he tried his best to make himself seem calm, and calmly looked at Feng Yiping and Lao Ma opposite, but he was really speechless.

He didn't understand why Williams started quoting so early, and he didn't understand why Williams suddenly added 300 million dollars to the 500 million dollars that everyone agreed.

why?

He really wants to have a good talk with Williams now, but now is obviously not the time for a small meeting, nor is it a time for infighting.

What made him feel that things weren't so bad was that the two people on the opposite side, whether it was Feng Yiping or the old horse who didn't know why would also attend the meeting, seemed to be not too surprised by this offer.

In other words, some unmoved appearances still keep a smile on his face.

Williams, who had been following Feng Yiping after speaking, also noticed this situation.

After calling out 800 million US dollars, he was a little guilty, but at this time he felt that his offer might still be too low.

This quotation that I felt would frighten Feng Yiping, so that he was no longer interested in this meeting, may not have been frightened by himself.

Maybe I should just report 1 billion US dollars?

As for the amount of more than 1 billion US dollars, he really can't even imagine at this time.

He also didn't have the courage to quote an unreliable price before Feng Yiping.

There are many ways to make yourself uncomfortable. It is undoubtedly the most stupid one to provoke Feng Yiping, who has a huge influence in the industry and in Silicon Valley.

They knew Feng Yiping a little bit, and they knew the other side of Feng Yiping.

After all, Whitman, who is known as the queen of Silicon Valley, has not taken advantage of this young man who always has a gentle smile, whether in words or in fact.

There are even more rumors that another well-known strong business leader in the United States, the former helm of Disney, and Michael Eisner, who has always been ignored by Jobs, also suffered a dark loss in Feng Yiping.

As for his successor, Iger, he is not Feng Yiping's opponent, otherwise, Marvel should now belong to Disney.

In the past two years, Steve Jobs, whose combat effectiveness has become more and more veteran, turned out to be aimed at the hapless Android Rubin after Feng Yiping’s company released the Android system that would have a major adverse impact on Apple.

Not to mention Feng Yiping, not even Android.

Everyone knows that there must be a very strong reason behind Jobs and Apple doing this, and that reason is mostly related to the young man who is smiling on the other side.

"Feng, although it's a bit early, this is an offer that we think is very reasonable after repeated discussions," Dorsey said.

What else can he say?

Could it be that, oh, Williams was wrong, our request is only 500 million?

At this time, he can only be consistent with Williams.

Feng Yiping waved his hand, "I like your style, really," he said, "but my focus is actually the advantage of Twitter."

These words made Dorsey blush a little, and quoted as soon as he came up. It really seemed as if they were very greedy for money.

Generally speaking, you should really talk about your own advantages, your knowledge of the industry, and your future plans...

Only transactions like the one that dismissed the former governor of New York State Spitzer can determine the transaction price from the beginning.

"That is, why don't we buy Jaiku?"

Jaiku is a European light blog or microblog that was established almost at the same time as Twitter.

They are very distinctive. They have a function called "Life Broadcast", which can unify the user's various records on other Internet products and the location data of your mobile phone.

Jaiku is very popular in Europe at this time.

"I'll just ask you, Williams," Feng Yiping looked at Williams, who had been observing his reaction. "How many registered users of Twitter are now, MAU (monthly active users), DAU (daily active users) What is it again?"

"Well, since you are embarrassed, I won't ask these questions," Feng Yiping said immediately.

For a long time, Twitter has kept secrets about the number of their users, especially the data of MAU and DAU.

In this regard, they have a unified caliber, what "publishing relevant data will trigger a simple comparison with Facebook data, and this is unfair, because Facebook's data includes the number of users of its independent information application,"

What "we want investors to pay more attention to our growth rate,"...and so on.

I believe that anyone who has done sales will be very familiar with their reasons, especially the latter one.

This is a reason people often use when comparing their own performance with other colleagues or other competitors in the same industry, "The focus is on my growth rate."

Last month, my return was 10,000, and this month my return was 15,000. This is an increase of 50 pct...

It also seems that some people (just some people) look down on some high-priced consumption. The reason for this, this and that, in the final analysis, is it not money?

The reason why Twitter does not publish these data is actually everyone knows. Isn't it because it is completely incomparable with Facebook?

As of the end of the first quarter of this year, the number of users of Facebook in the world has strode behind the goal of 300 million users, and Twitter, according to Facebook’s comprehensive statistics from all aspects, their registered users, at this time It's about 20 million.

How does it compare to Facebook?

Some of Dorsey wanted to publish this data now. After all, there are things that can be kept from others, not the social giant Feng Yiping.

But when I think about Williams' 800 million US dollars offer... those few data, I am really embarrassed to say it at this time.

"So, maybe you can tell me the business model of Twitter?" Feng Yiping asked another key question.

This is another important reason why Twitter has been criticized by investors. Since its establishment, Twitter has never explicitly announced their business model to the outside world, let alone disclosed their revenue data to the outside world.

"In front of me, don't say anything to ensure that the product is impeccable first, or something like '98, no one is worried about how Google will make a profit'."

"Just tell me clearly," Feng Yiping sat up straight, put one hand on the table, and tapped on the table with one finger, "How exactly do you position your products?"

"Stone just said," he glanced at Bizstone, "our work is similar,"

"But after reviewing all of Twitter's performance, I highly doubt it,"

Stone was a little dumbfounded. Why did the problem suddenly come to me?

Besides, what is so doubtful about that?

"The three of you, can you tell me clearly, is Twitter focused on social networking or information dissemination?"

"Social," Williams said immediately without thinking.

At the same time, Dorsey also spoke, "Information..."

Stone couldn't help but lowered his head without speaking.

This is really a time to make them ashamed.

As the three founders of Twitter ~www.wuxiaspot.com~, they can't reach an agreement on this issue.

It's a joke to say it.

The key is that the opponent is still Feng Yiping.
