Vol 2 Chapter 2472: Mining talents is more important than making money (part 2)

Popular recommendation:,,,,,,,

In the previous life, in 2009, the valuation of k was actually not high, and because of the impact of the financial crisis, the valuation was lowered, about 25 billion U.S. dollars. However, when k was listed on May 18, 2012, The market value of is set at 100 billion U.S. dollars, setting a brand new record!

But this life is different. With Tang Mingxiang's 8 billion US dollars infusion in advance, it developed very well in 2007 and 2008.

As of May 2009, that is, last month, the number of k registered users exceeded 500 million. In May, the number of independent access ips in the United States reached 152 million, and the page views reached 76.6 billion, second only to the United States. 166 million, 158 million independent IP visits in the United States.

K's independent access IP in the world is 270 million people, and the page views have exceeded 120 billion times, ranking the top five in the world's network industry. It can be said that the results are very tough.

So it’s understandable that its valuation has risen. Even a cautious person like Milner believes that its market value will reach 150 billion U.S. dollars.

The 150 billion US dollars far exceeds the 100 billion US dollars in the previous life, and 10 billion US dollars will be raised by then, and it is definitely not a delusion to become the unprecedented first fundraiser for a technology company.

After the lock-up period, although it may not reach 300 billion US dollars. But if the market value k of 200 billion wants to be reached, there is no problem at all.

After all, k is a social networking site that connects the world. As long as it develops, it is simply impossible for others to contend and stop, and obtaining high market value is a matter of course.

The investment of 35 billion U.S. dollars and the profit left at about 200 billion U.S. dollars, almost 500% of the profit, are extremely happy for any investor. It is also something to be proud of.

Therefore, Milner believes that Xiao Qi should feel good. Will promise to invest.

After all, no one in this world likes to fight against making money.

And as long as Xiao Qi can become friends with Milner through this transaction, it will be even more profitable.

but. Xiao Qi's answer was beyond Milner's expectations, "Mr. Milner, is dst short of money?"

"Uh……"

Milner was stunned, "Qia Shao, you mean..."

"I mean, I can give you a sum of money like that steel tycoon in your country, so that you can use your talents." Xiao Qi said indifferently, "I don't know how much commission they give you. I invested 10 billion U.S. dollars for your dst. You set up a fund for special operation. You get 30% of the profit, and you don’t have to pay when you lose. Funds can be increased at any time. I will give as much as you want."

Milner's eyes were as big as bull's eyes. Breathing tightened.

He didn't know how to describe his feelings.

It's a bit like in a dream, and a bit like being hit by a huge cake falling from the sky, full of excitement and can't believe it.

Put 10 billion US dollars into dst, so that you don’t have to bear any responsibility for losses, and directly get 30% of the profits?

Isn't it?

I just want to come to cooperate with Xiao Qi for a business, and then prepare to slowly establish a cooperative friendship with Xiao Qi. After a year and a half, let Xiao Qi put in more investment.

Why did you suddenly give yourself 10 billion?

Isn't Xiao Qi a fool?

no no. How could Xiao Qi be a fool?

If he were a fool, there would be no smart people in the world!

But why is he so hasty and directly handed over 10 billion U.S. dollars to himself, a person who had only met for the first time?

Seeing Milner’s excitement and doubts, Xiao Qi smiled and said: "I believe Mr. Milner you have followed me a long time ago. Similarly, as one of the best angel investors in the world, I have known you for a long time and passed countless According to the investigation, I know that you are a trustworthy person, so I am willing to trust your vision and let you help me increase my assets."

"Do you know my investment trajectory?" Milner said subconsciously.

"Vk, Russia's largest social networking company, was your investment? 40% of Russia's Internet technology companies are related to you, right? Most of your collaborators and subordinates are from Goldman Sachs, and some are from Morgan Stanley and Green Pine. Capital, right?" Xiao Qi said: "You have invested in 6 companies in the United States in the last two years, right? And now your goal is not only k, but also r, as well as Swedish, and, yes. Right?"

Milner was shocked at first.

But after hearing it, he was no longer shocked, because he was numb.

I dare not say that Xiao Qi has mastered all of his investment trajectories, but at least 80% of his investments are well understood by Xiao Qi.

The most important thing is that Xiao Qi actually knows a lot about what company he wants to invest in in the future. The three companies he mentioned are all companies that he is very optimistic about and are ready to actively negotiate and get in touch. what!

But now he is just a calculation, and even the people in the company don't know his own inclinations. How did Xiao Qi see it?

It would be too terrifying if he only analyzed the information he obtained to draw these conclusions! ?

"Well, you don't have to be afraid. I am not a **** who knows everything." Xiao Qi smiled. "The reason why I can guess that you want to invest in these companies is entirely because I also like them. So In your intelligence collection data, after seeing these companies, I think we should have a common vision, so I will name the companies I have selected."

"That's it."

Milner was relieved.

If he is so smart that he is unmatched, who would dare to deal with Xiao Qi?

"The US$10 billion is only a preliminary investment. I can use the funds if you have any needs in the future." Xiao Qi said, "I have only one request, and that is to do it in accordance with your heart, and don't care about anything. Whether it is profitable or not, don't care how others are not optimistic about them, as long as you think it is worth it, then do it!"

"It doesn't matter if it's wrong?" Milner asked rhetorically.

"I am a person who allows partners to make mistakes, because they will grow after failure." Xiao Qi said, "What's more, billions and tens of billions of dollars are not big numbers for me. Talent is far more than money. Important. I can have more patience and look forward to the next 20 to 30 years, you will bring me huge profits."

Milner has always believed that some people are born with a leader's temperament, and that this kind of courage can help them succeed.

Therefore, he often comes into contact with entrepreneurs he wants to invest in, eats and chats, goes out for exercise, etc., just to see their daily performance and determine how likely they are to succeed.

But he had never seen someone like Xiao Qi before, and he could have such trust in someone who had only met for the first time.

Although this kind of trust is based on Xiao Qi's vision, it is definitely a great honor for Milner-to be trusted by a world's richest man, to believe in his own vision and ability, this is a great appreciation!

"it is good!"

Milner is also a straightforward person.

After thinking it through, he immediately nodded, "After I go back, I will make a contract, and dst will accept your funds, and will set up a separate fund to operate the project according to your requirements! Since you trust me so much, I also I will work hard not to let you down!"

"Then let's start the first step of cooperation and negotiation." Xiao Qi said with a smile: "K, do it your way. The same is true for future investments, as long as I asked you to help with the acquisition. In the company, you can buy and sell shares anytime you want."

"Thank you." Milner said with a smile. The greater the freedom Xiao Qi gives him, the more he can do things according to his own wishes. As an angel investor, this is undoubtedly a very happy thing.

"Then the next three companies, since you also plan to invest in them, I will not mix them up, you decide for yourself." Xiao Qi said: "But other than that, I heard that you are in the electronic technology industry in the United States. The network is very wide. I wonder if I can come up with a few ideas so that you can help find someone to realize the idea?"

Milner's eyes condensed, and the next moment he said, "Don't you have Hoffman, the ‘King of Silicon Valley’s connections’? And you have a very good cooperation. Why are you still looking for me?"

"It's very simple, because putting all your hopes on one person is a great burden for him, and it will also be difficult for my investment plan." Xiao Qi said, "I hope you can compete and take a look. Whoever finds the best people will create the most powerful company."

"Is it difficult?" Milner shook his head again and again~www.wuxiaspot.com~Any one of these companies is in the tens of billions of dollars. How can I do better than him? "

"Are you not confident in yourself?" Xiao Qi asked.

"It's not that I have no confidence. It's just that if I compete, I have already lost my first move!" Milner smiled. "But don't worry, the project you handed over to me. I will try my best. I will not force it."

Xiao Qi nodded in agreement, "It's best to think like this, but it's not anxious. Let's talk about it when you finish the few projects in your hand!"

"I know."

Milner didn't ask too much, agreeing.

He is a very self-aware person. He can see himself clearly and know his limits. This is a good character for angel investors and can help them have greater achievements.

Milner's investment in the previous life was so good, in addition to his ability, it also has a great relationship with his character! (To be continued)
