Chapter 281: new identity

Google's Nasdaq debut was grand and tragic. Baidu search to force literature network

Larry Page, Sergey Brin, and perhaps Schmidt, these three senior executives at the helm of Google are determined to challenge Wall Street and use the "Dutch auction" for this fundraising listing. The so-called In a Dutch auction, investors need to enter the number of shares they want to buy and the price they are willing to pay for those shares, and then the investor with the highest bid can get the shares first until all the shares are sold out. It's clear that the company's value in the minds of Google's founders doesn't quite match the price the public is willing to pay.

Realizing that the situation was not as good as he thought, Page revised the price range to $85 to $90 per share, but its final listing price was only $85, which was at the lower end of the price range. . Google sold $19.6 million at this price, while Page initially hoped to sell 25.9 million shares at $108 to $135 each.

The gap between the front and rear can be said to be large enough to be unbearable.

In this listing, Google originally hoped to raise about 3 billion yuan, but it turned out to be only half of this figure, less than 1.7 billion.

By the time the dust settled on the listing price, Google was one of the few tech companies that managed to do so successfully despite the Nasdaq crash. But this figure clearly leaves Page a significant gap.

The reason, of course, is that there is a problem with Page's decision-making.

Dutch auctions are not completely impossible to use, such as mb, which may be relatively more suitable for this method.

This auction method strictly requires the confidence of investors and shareholders in the listed company. will be fired even higher.

Page didn't think about it. The level of recognition he had in mind for Google was not in agreement with investors. People don't buy Google's account that much, and not many people think Google will be a respectable business. In addition, Page also looked at everyone's psychological endurance since the stock market crash.

To a certain extent, Google was the sacrificed pioneer. From the beginning of Google, technology stocks began to glow with new brilliance, and people began to realize the huge wealth and fortune that the search engine would bring, and even more interconnected business opportunities.

According to the additional terms of Google's capital injection and acquisition at that time, that is, the gradient acquisition agreement between Plutos and Google - these are public information. What needs to be explained to investors. Google's total fundraising is less than 2 billion, and Plutos has purchased 10 million original shares of Google at a price of 70% of the listing price.

It's a lucrative business anyway.

In the complicated Google incident, Plutos has undoubtedly become the victor who is the least doubtful.

The total amount of acquisitions totaling about 600 million US dollars is affordable for Plutos. At the current price alone, Plutos has recorded about 200 million in the account. What's more, the trend of rising stock prices is inevitable, which may become the most expensive this year. A high-profile stock market operation.

...

"Do you think this is believable?"

Robert pointed to the front page of the Wall Street Journal. Below Google's listing headlines, a not-so-small area, the bold headlines are noticeably dazzling.

"Daniel Sandler, the king behind the social kingdom?"

In front of him is not Dick Cook of the headquarters. It's Bob and Harvey -- the Weinstein brothers.

Bob took a deep breath, Daniel showed up on Nasdaq yesterday and really gave them an unparalleled shock, if Daniel was really mb and f2f. Even the manipulator behind Google, his wealth will be counted in billions of dollars, which has far exceeded Miramax's valuation. What's more, mb has not been listed yet, and it is a little listed. Who can say that it is not the second Google? That's a tens of billions of giants, and a hundred years of Disney's market value is only tens of billions.

This is really too unbelievable. Robert invited them over, but he couldn't confirm the facts.

"If this is true, I'm afraid Disney's previous actions will be miscalculated, right?"

Harvey suddenly said that some tacit things were not so embarrassing to say at this time.

Robert's face was even more serious than he said.

In fact, based on the unnecessary consideration of what Daniel's new identity can do, once he is confirmed, his special status in Hollywood will be established, and it is no longer possible for Disney to try to suppress Daniel. Of course, Hollywood has Hollywood rules, but in the face of a situation that has never happened before, Robert is not sure what effect such rules can play.

At this time, countless people in the United States are speculating on the authenticity of the report of the "Wall Street Journal".

Only one person can be almost certain.

"USA Today" station editor Ace - the news editor who almost explored Daniel's back, when Apple and imp made a deal, he once explored the relationship between Daniel and Plutos behind mb.

As a news reporter, Ace has the habit of scanning the latest news, scanning the headlines of news from major stations.

As the most popular report today, including "USA Today" itself has related news, this will definitely enter Ace's eyes.

Just when I saw this piece of news, Ace was simply.

"My God, my God, my God."

"What's wrong with you? Ace, did someone put a scorpion on the stool?" His colleague saw that he had a hot dumpling in his mouth.

"No no no, Daniel, Daniel."

The colleague understood what he meant this time and sighed.

"Do you think that's true? Maybe he's just like Schwarzenegger, he's got an IPO in Google, and he's got some connections in Silicon Valley, so that's not uncommon news. Oh yeah, last time he visited You did the news when you googled it. But if it's true, it's horrible. Is he the youngest super-rich? Does he go to Fox? God loves him so much. There's nothing left, but I'm still worried about next month's bills."

Ace's colleagues have long been shocked by the news, and now they are full of chattering complaints.

"No, no," Ace finally calmed down. He paused and rushed to his boss's office. After a while, the editor-in-chief of USA Today's online media department rushed out with him like a whirlwind.

Colleagues who realized that something was wrong also gathered around.

Ace turned on his computer. From the folders layer by layer, find the one from dd Pictures.

Daniel, David, and Plutos Investments!

"My God!" The editor-in-chief sighed, "Right now, Ace, you will edit the manuscript and give it to me right away."

The editor-in-chief returned to the office like a whirlwind.

The colleague who realized it with hindsight only reacted at this moment, "Does this mean that DD Films is also invested by Plutos?"

Although confirming this news does not in itself provide infallible proof that Daniel is the person behind Plutos. But Plutos, who was born out of nowhere, was found to have another investment behavior. It happens to be Daniel Sandler's independent studio -- too much of a coincidence.

In many cases, the media and the public do not need a full ten proof, all they need is a reason to convince themselves. Looking at it now, Plutos has an investment in the dd film industry, which is undoubtedly the reason why people can convince themselves.

...

"As expected, isn't it?"

Kusa said bitterly.

Phone ringing that never stops. A flood of emails, a torrent of news reports...

If it wasn't for Daniel's absence from Malibu's home, there would have been an instant crowd of guests.

"We will hold a press conference on August 21. Explain this matter."

Responding to a caller again with a standard answer, Kusa felt a little drained.

They are in a hotel in New York, and they don't live with Larry Page. Page must be too busy now, but Daniel can be lazy.

Last night, Paige had a long sleepless night and drank a lot of wine with Daniel outside.

Google's successful IPO is good news, and indeed a setback for Page.

"Mb will be run by the **** on Wall Street?"

Daniel nodded, "It should be. I would also like to thank you all. Google's listing has brought some encouragement to mb no matter what, even if it cooperates with Wall Street, it will not fall on the weak side."

This is the truth, even if Google is calculated, there is no need to be afraid of it.

Google's listing crisis stemmed from investors' doubts about technology stocks and distrust of Google itself. Wall Street's pushers played an important role, but this role was not meant to be decisive. Relatively speaking, mb is more well-known than Google. Although Google has more users than mb, as the number one social network, mb is dealing with the public, whether investors or shareholders, to mb. The operating model and profit model are well understood. What’s more, the profitability of mb has long been recognized. Although mb has shifted its focus from profit to attracting users after receiving the re-investment from Google and Plutos, Its profit model has been optimized all the time, all of which are carried out under the watchful eyes of investors who are all around.

Therefore, their recognition of mb is actually more than Google's.

After all, Google's annual profit is indeed more than 200 million, but advertising revenue alone is somewhat unsure.

Considering these differences, even if mb adopts a Dutch auction, Wall Street may not be able to do much. Google is also covered with a layer of cloth, investors can't see the meat inside, and it is possible to be manipulated by Wall Street. MB is already a bright piece of fat. At this time, it is difficult to reduce the price in a unified way.

Page apparently thought of that too.

"Did you already know the result?" Page's tone was calm, and he didn't need to be angry. Although it wasn't perfect, there was always a beginning, otherwise he wouldn't insist on setting the listing price at $85. "When we talked about capital injection and income, you expected this result? So there is that gradient protocol."

Daniel thought for a while, then nodded, "I have this guess, and a lot of work is based on this."

Amused by his candor, Paige let out a sigh of relief.

"It must be you on the news tomorrow. Daniel, are you ready to become a businessman?"

"No, I'm ready to go to Berkeley."

Stunned for a moment, Paige felt that maybe he shouldn't come and drink with Daniel.

...

"Wow, Daniel, do you see how powerful the media is?"

Triver turned the computer screen over to show Daniel.

"USA Today?"

Ace's freshly released report has now been reprinted throughout.

"New Evidence: Daniel and Plutos Had an Intersection"

"... The original investor document of dd Pictures clearly stated 'Plutos Investment Company', but now there is no longer this company in the documents of dd Pictures. Whether it has withdrawn from the company, or has Daniel's name continues to hold dd film industry, it is foreseeable that there must be some kind of close relationship between Daniel **** and Plutos, which even predates Plutos' investment in mb and f2f, In other words, after investing in an independent Hollywood studio, Plutos ushered in a new era of social..."

In the report, the picture of Ace was also placed on it.

mb, google, f2f, apple, dd film, daniel, plutoth, these nouns are circled, and lines are used to indicate their relationship to each other.

Clearly, they all have a strong relationship with Daniel, and the connection between Plutos and other individuals is highly consistent with Daniel's.

Daniel is an iconic figure of mb and f2f, and has repeatedly devoted himself to promoting the rapid development of mb and f2f. At the same time, Plutos is the holder of these two companies.

Daniel, a suspected shareholder of Google, was once invited to visit the company and communicate directly with Larry Page. Daniel is still the most popular user of Google right now. Plutos is an important shareholder of Google.

The latest exposure of dd Pictures, not to mention ~www.readwn.com~, the two sides are almost coincident, and they are both shareholders of dd Pictures.

Even Apple, which is not very obvious, can find some clues. Daniel has a lot of Apple stocks, and Plutos and Apple also have contacts - it is rumored that it is a cooperation in the field of smartphones.

Ace's diagrams can be said to be clear and unambiguous.

Daniel and Plutos were side by side in the middle, an equal sign was placed between them, and a question mark was placed on the equal sign.

"Here's the answer? Daniel is the behind-the-scenes boss of this famous social networking investment company? Although it is so unbelievable, in the face of a lot of evidence, we seem to have to believe that in the super global icon, three Oscar winners, consecutive best actor, producer In addition to the roles of factory owner and billionaire, Daniel has a new identity - a business giant!"
