These words have also been recognized by many people.
Unfortunately, in the past year, more and more people don't think so.
Because there's a better young man out there than Larry Page and Sergey!
That person is naturally Yu Wenfei.
If Yu Wenfei is compared with Larry Page and Sergey, even Susan has to admit that Yu Wenfei wins in all aspects.
In terms of age, Yu Wenfei is only 21 years old, and Google is almost [-] years old.
In terms of career, not to mention other industries controlled by Yu Wenfei, just Facebook, which was listed earlier than Google, and its market value is also higher!
In terms of talent, Susan knew that Yu Wenfei had published several novels when he was in high school, and occupied the top position in the sales list of the Chinese book publishing market for many years!
The two songs he wrote and composed himself are widely sung in mainland China!
Even in terms of appearance, although the aesthetics of the East and the West are different, after seeing Yu Wenfei's photos and interview videos, Susan has to admit that, at least in terms of demeanor, Yu Wenfei beats Larry Page and Sergey. Two IT nerds...
When Yu Wenfei appeared in public, he was dressed in suits and leather shoes, elegant and easy-going.
From head to toe, even the strictest etiquette experts can't find any faults.
But Sergey and Larry Page are typical IT nerds, who wear T-shirts and jeans all the year round.
Occasionally wear a suit, but it is also baggy and ill-fitting, like a child stealing his father's suit to wear.
How can this compare to...
…………
It was because of Yu Wenfei's appearance that Susan's idol dream was shattered, so she was actually hostile to Yu Wenfei.
Because in her opinion, such an outstanding genius should not appear in that poor and backward place in China!
Don't change the emergence of such an Internet company as Facebook!
…………
Sheraton San Francisco Hotel, the No. [-] conference hall is resplendent and full of guests and friends.
Here is the scene of the press conference of Facebook North America.
After receiving the notification from Facebook North America, almost all the well-known media in the United States rushed to the scene.
After all, many big media have reporter offices in San Francisco, and there is no need to send people from the headquarters.
With the eager anticipation of many reporters, the time came to [-] o'clock in the evening, and the press conference was officially held.
Lu Qi, Cai Congxin, Ballmer, Jim Walton, William Rhodes, and Larry Page appeared together, standing in a row, smiling and waving to the media reporters in the audience.
Seeing those familiar characters appearing on the stage, the audience was full of commotion.
Susan was also taken aback, why even Larry Page came?
Could it be that Google is also joining forces with Facebook?
"Mr. Ballmer, are you investing in Facebook North America on behalf of Microsoft?"
"Mr. Walton, your family is in the supermarket business, why did it appear in this place? Is Wal-Mart going to transform into an e-commerce business?"
"Mr. William, Citibank is already one of the shareholders of Facebook. What is your capacity to appear here this time?"
There was chaos under the stage.
Chapter 884 Doubt
On the stage, Lu Qi stretched out his hand to signal the audience to quiet down.
After a while, the sound of the scene quieted down. Everyone was watching him, waiting to hear what he had to say.
Without going around in circles, Lu Qi announced directly.
"It is a great honor to announce that after negotiation, Facebook head office, Microsoft Corporation, Google Corporation, Citigroup Investment Bank, and Walton Family Fund have reached a consensus. 12 million shares, priced at 10 US dollars per share, and a total of 80 billion US dollars in financing. The four companies or funds present, each subscribed [-] million shares, and became shareholders of Facebook North America!"
"Wow!" With a slam, the audience became chaotic again.
Although everyone has already guessed, Microsoft and Google should have already invested in Facebook North America.
However, no one thought that the valuation of Facebook North America would be so high!
At this price, isn't Facebook North America worth 200 billion US dollars!
This is not a small amount.
Even Google is about to go public, and everyone's valuation of it is not much higher than 200 billion.
"Mr. Ballmer, is this valuation real? Is Facebook North America really worth so much money?"
Reporters immediately raised their hands to ask questions.
"Mr. Larry Page, hasn't Google considered developing its own social platform? Why did it pay such a high price for a stake in Facebook?" Susan also tried to squeeze to the front, raising her hand and asking.
Seeing the chaos in the audience, Lu Qi hurriedly maintained order again.
"Everyone, don't worry. Everyone will have a chance to ask questions, but they have to come one by one. Otherwise, the few people on the stage don't know whose question to answer. Madam, come first."
Said, Lu Qi pointed to Susan.
A staff member walked over and handed Susan a microphone.
Susan hurriedly stepped forward, took the microphone, and asked loudly: "I would like to ask Mr. Larry Page, do you think the valuation of Facebook North America's US$200 billion is reasonable? If you take out US$20 billion, it will be reasonable." Is it in Google's interest to use this money to directly develop its own social platform? Everyone knows that Google has no shortage of traffic!"
Her question was echoed by many reporters at the scene.
Indeed, in everyone's opinion, Facebook North America's premium is too high!
20 billion US dollars to get [-]% of the shares, the price is too high.
If it is Citibank or the Walton family, it is understandable. After all, they are not engaged in the Internet industry. If they want to find an ideal investment target, it is normal to pay a premium.
But for Google, Microsoft, especially Google, it is completely unnecessary!
Google has now surpassed Yahoo in the field of search engines, and it can be regarded as having the largest traffic entrance of the Internet in the world.
In this case, why not just build a social platform by yourself, with 100% holding, and it may not need as much as 20 billion U.S. dollars.
Hearing this question, Larry Page showed a wry smile on his face.
