Vol 2 Chapter 1248: Can't refuse

The first thousand two hundred and forty-eight chapters

Can't refuse

This world is destined to be crazy!

No one thought that "facebook" would actually get advertising sponsorship in such a fast time, which is incredible. We must know that in the world, currently, there is only one website that can really rely on advertising sponsorship to maintain operation and make money, and that is "google". Now, "google" has a one-year advertising profit of up to one billion US dollars, which is the envy of all it companies." "Google", the reason for being jealous of "google", is also the reason why "google" is unanimously favored by the outside world.

But for now, the patent of "google" alone is about to be broken by "facebook". Although at present, the annual advertising profit of "facebook" is only only 27 million US dollars, which is far from the same as "google", but "facebook" has only been established for only 2 months. Its employees include the founder Mark- There are currently only 3 people, including Zuckerberg, and all server rental fees for the website are currently zero. It is temporarily reliant on Harvard University servers.

In other words, at present, Mark Zuckerberg and her two roommates Moskowitz and Hughes do not need any cost, and can get 27 million US dollars in advertising sponsorship each year for three years. As far as this contract is concerned, the three have become multimillionaires.

$81 million! With Mark Zuckerberg holding 80% of the shares in "facebook", it is only a step away from the billionaire by more than 30 million US dollars!

In a hidden corner of the press conference hall, Principal Lawrence-h-Samus, who is also paying close attention to this matter, has a pale face and his teeth are creaking and creaking. He miscalculated, and the characters behind him also miscalculated. They thought that Lin Feng would deliberately drive up the price of "facebook" to fulfill his promise to build a billionaire in three days. If that is the case, the "Goldman Sachs" company will naturally be able to estimate its true market value below 100 million US dollars.

Unexpectedly, Lin Feng played an unexpected hand. Directly pulled an advertising sponsorship form to "facebook". Although several companies in it are Lin Feng's own companies, it can be said that Lin Feng invested money in it. This is a bit suspected of cheating, but it is cheating that others cannot question.

But what makes Lawrence-h-Samos a little relieved is that I don’t know why Lin Feng did not directly increase the advertising sponsorship contract to 100 million US dollars. Otherwise, once Lin Feng really pulled the advertising contract to 100 million US dollars, the "Goldman Sachs" company It is impossible to underestimate the market value of "facebook" as Qianfu refers to it.

fortunately! fortunately! ——Lawrence-h-Samus sighed in his heart. However, with Lin Feng's financial resources, why didn't his advertising sponsorship contract be pulled above 100 million US dollars? This really makes Lawrence-h-Samous a little confused. But now he can only hope that the presidents will abide by their previous agreement and not raise the offer. However, Lawrence-h-Samus is the former Deputy Treasury Secretary of the United States, and he naturally understands the logic of businessmen seeking profits.

Faced with the current "facebook", if many companies don't try their best to **** it, it would be too stupid. The agreement between myself and them is really not worth mentioning. Even if it is the agreement between President Bush and them, these companies will not take it seriously at this moment. Unless it is an agreement by the U.S. government, it promises them how much profit. After all, President Bush is President Bush and the U.S. government is the U.S. government. The two cannot be confused.

Thinking of this, Lawrence-h-Samus went dark, knowing that his bet had been lost under normal circumstances. But he still has a killer move, an absolute killer move. Thinking of this, Lawrence-h-Samus gave a dark smile.

Lin Feng, don't you want to beat me. It's not just me who dealt with you this time. ——Lawrence-h-Samus looked at Lin Feng's back and smiled silently.

Compared with the many evil ideas of Lawrence-h-Samus, the many CEOs on the scene have no time to think about them. Because they have red eyes at the moment. The three-year advertising contract with a total of 81 million US dollars, coupled with the future potential of "facebook", can be said that this "facebook", which has just been established only 2 months ago, has become a sweet cake, and it is a sweet cake that everyone can't help but covet. cake.

I want to eat it! Must eat it! ——All the presidents are in this mind at this moment. As for whether they would be used by Lin Feng, they were already very worried. Because since Lin Feng can get an 81 million contract for this, it is entirely possible to get a 100 million US dollar contract. Therefore, Lawrence-h-Samus has lost. That being the case, they have no worries, and directly started to grab this piece of the largest cake in the US Internet market since "google".

As for why these companies are willing to sponsor "facebook" at such a high price, many presidents can understand by just a little analysis. Leaving aside the two companies of Lin Feng, "Phantom Technology" and "Qianji Fast Food Restaurant", the other eight companies headed by "Walmart" are willing to sponsor "facebook" with such a high amount, except for the potential of "facebook" , Also because advertising on the website is still quite cheap compared to advertising on TV.

At present, "facebook" advertising of 27 million US dollars a year is a lot for a website, but it is divided among these ten companies, and one company only bears 270 US dollars a year in advertising expenses. This is quite cheap compared to the tens of millions of dollars in advertising on TV. This is also the reason why "google" ads can reach billions of dollars a year.

Of course, these ten companies are willing to sponsor "facebook", in fact, there is another reason, and that is this auction. This unprecedented auction is destined to make "facebook" famous all over the world, and as a company that advertises such as "Wal-Mart", it is naturally prosperous with it. Therefore, it can be said that $2,700 is not much. Or just a year later, this US$27 million in advertising investment may be the smartest investment for Wal-Mart.

However, in the hearts of many it presidents, there is still a knot. That is, Lin Feng clearly can pull the advertising contract to more than 100 million U.S. dollars at one time and win the bet directly. But only to get $81 million out of it, isn't this a shameless person! In other words, they want them to help Lin Feng make a hype, and let himself wait for two hundred and five.

But two hundred and five, just two hundred and five. Anyway, "facebook", we are going to make a reservation! As for some private transactions between Lin Feng and Mark Zuckerberg, in the eyes of many giants, they don't care at all. Regardless of any deal between Lin Feng and Mark Zuckerberg, they only need to pay a higher price than Lin Feng. They can't. Mark Zuckerberg will not be tempted to face an offer that is obviously higher than Lin Feng. Even if Lin Feng made a crazy quote at the end, and took out the rich financial resources of the world's richest man to make it impossible for them to follow up, they would have to make Lin Feng bleed more severely. Anyway, Mark Zuckerberg is an American and their Harvard brother and sister, and there is no advantage to outsiders.

But obviously, all companies have missed a possibility that should never be missed. And this possibility makes this auction full of more variables.

"Everyone, the starting price of'facebook' is US$81 million, please bid!" Mark Zuckerberg said with a smile.

"90 million!"-"Google"'s Larry Page was the first to bid. "Google" has now raised 4 billion US dollars and has enough confidence to deal with this auction. Originally Larry Page just wanted to come and watch, he might not have bought "facebook", but now he has to buy it. Because Larry Page was tempted. With "facebook", "google" will be more powerful.

Lin Feng wants a combination of two swords, and he will never allow it!

"100 million dollars!" Jobs was also unambiguous. "Apple" is quite incompatible with today's computer world because of its own computer system. If it weren't for the "Apple" product performance and appearance is really good enough, I am afraid it would have been eliminated long ago. But even in the face of this kind of incompatibility, at any time it may be abandoned by the world's common computer landscape, all "Apple" people are not prepared to compromise.

Because once compromised, it means that "Apple" succumbed to "Microsoft", succumbed to "Intel", succumbed to many, many computer manufacturers, whether it is hardware or software. This is unacceptable to the proud Jobs, and also unacceptable to the "Apple" people.

Especially now that Lam Fung’s “Second Bank” and Ellison have cooperated to acquire all the shares of “Nvidia”, which has led to Lin Feng’s personal monopoly of the personal computer graphics card market, and the personal computer hardware market is full of pre-war developments. The feeling of suffocation forced "Intel" and "Google" to cooperate. A war of order and hardware system may break out at any time in the personal computer market. Jobs will naturally not let this opportunity pass.

However, at present, the weight of "Apple" is not enough. At least Jobs believes that it is still unable to compete with Lin Feng, who owns "Baidu-Yahoo" and "Second World", and the "win-tel" alliance. Therefore, "facebook" is also a goal he covets.

100 million, this is just an offer that Jobs has just started. With a three-year $81 million advertising contract and the prospect of "facebook", Jobs is convinced that today's auction will be very exciting. Thinking of this, Jobs looked at Lin Feng, this young man was really a dangerous man.

Perhaps, the pattern of the IT industry in the future will change because of this person. ——Jobs secretly guessed.

Listening to a quotation that was higher than one spit out from the mouths of these presidents, Lin Feng didn't mention the pride in his heart. If you want to use a song to describe Lin Feng's mood at the moment, it is - I am so happy today.

Originally, Lin Feng was going to raise the price of this advertising contract to 100 million US dollars in one go, completely blocking all possible changes in Lawrence-h-Samus. But because Lin Feng can only find eight companies that agree to invest in "facebook", in particular, seven of these eight companies are still willing to invest in "facebook" because "Walmart" is willing to invest in "facebook", which is only two months old. Websites, and still invest "heavy money", otherwise, these companies will not be "facebook" at all.

However, after learning that "Wal-Mart" was willing to sponsor "facebook" at a price of US$20 million for three years, the remaining seven companies decided to sponsor "facebook" after a while. After all, "Wal-Mart" is already a legend in the United States. Since "Wal-Mart" values ​​this "facebook" so much, the other seven companies naturally follow behind and follow the actions of "Wal-Mart". Because they are convinced that "Wal-Mart" will not venture to invest in a newly established website unless it has great potential. Therefore, these seven companies invested.

In fact, speaking of it, "Walmart" is willing to invest in "facebook", and it is still a huge sum of 20 million US dollars in three years. It is really not a deliberate possibility, nor is it a fancy to the huge potential of "facebook", the reason for its willingness to invest Only one thing-Lin Feng. Because Lin Feng holds 2% of "Wal-Mart" shares, he is the person who holds the most shares of "Wal-Mart" except for the Walton family.

When Lin Feng approached Samuel Robson Walton, the president of "Wal-Mart", he agreed. Anyway, the $20 million investment in advertising for three years is nothing but a drop in the bucket for the huge "Wal-Mart Empire", but it can make Lin Feng, the world's richest man, owe personal favor. For Samuel Robson Walton, The $20 million is worth it. What's more, Lin Feng is so optimistic about "facebook". If "facebook" really takes off in the future, "Walmart" will not only sell Lin Feng's favor, but also reap a return far exceeding the investment of 20 million US dollars. Why not do it? !

If those seven companies knew that "Wal-Mart" was so "thoughtful", I am afraid they would really be depressed.

But counting the eight companies headed by "Wal-Mart", only $70 million in advertising sponsorship in three years. Therefore, after some calculations, Lin Feng asked his "Phantom Technology" and "Starting Point Fast Food Restaurant" to make up two places to make up the quota of ten companies. Originally, Lin Feng wanted to use "Phantom Technology" and "Starting Point Fast Food Restaurant" to make up the remaining US$30 million share. After all, "Phantom Technology" owns 88% of the shares, and "Starting Point Fast Food Restaurant" Lin Feng also holds 65. % Shares, especially the "Qianji Fast Food Restaurant" have been listed for a long time, to make up the 30 million US dollars, if all the transfers from the "Qianji Fast Food Restaurant", Lin Feng would not have to pay a penny himself.

But Tang Jun, president of "Phantom Technology", dispelled Lin Feng's idea. Tang Jun told Lin Feng that as long as "facebook" holds an advertising contract that is close to 100 million yuan, then other IT companies will definitely sell it to more than 100 million yuan. It can be said that even if Lin Feng does not make up the difference of 30 million US dollars, other companies will help Lin Feng to make it up.

Lin Feng thought for a while, and knew that Tang Jun was right. Therefore, Ben intends to only let "Phantom Technology" and "Starting Point Fast Food" each pay a small amount of money to win the "facebook" advertising contract for the next three years. However, it is suspicion of using power for personal gain. Therefore, Lin Feng "reluctantly" let the two The company sponsored "facebook" with a total of 11 million US dollars for three years, and made up a figure of 81 million.

At this moment, the quotation of "facebook", under the frantic bidding of many Silicon Valley companies, has already fetched a sky-high price of 280 million U.S. dollars!

250 million dollars! This price has exceeded Lin Feng's initial estimate. In Lin Feng's view, these companies originally had to spend up to 200 million US dollars! Although there is a three-year offer of 81 million US dollars, don't forget that "facebook" is a social networking site that has only been established for two months and is only popular in the Boston area. Is it really worth $250 million?

Although Lin Feng understands that "facebook" will have a market value of more than tens of billions of dollars in the future, these presidents don't know, why are they so crazy? ——Lin Feng is a little puzzled.

If many presidents know that Lin Feng is still wondering why they are so crazy, these presidents are really going to be furious. It wasn't Lin Feng that made them crazy. Since Lin Feng has worked so hard to sponsor "facebook" (although Mark Zuckerberg did not say who sponsored these sponsorships, it is obvious to these presidents that they have just entered the university. For the otaku, it’s impossible to attract so many sponsorships. Mark Zuckerberg’s face is not that big. The only possibility is Lin Feng), then Lin Feng must be quite optimistic about "facebook", and Lin Feng has always had the reputation of "turning stones into gold". In this case, the presidents of these companies will naturally not let go of this "gold", even if they know that Lin Feng and Qi must have some agreement, so will they. Jump out to compete for "facebook".

Because they cannot refuse this temptation.

The price is still rising all the way, finally reaching the $370 million mark. At this time, everyone stopped and looked at Lin Feng, because until now, Lin Feng had never paid a price.
