Chapter 568 Android Kingdom, Twitter listing

On March 21, 2014, Gao Yang came to San Francisco again at the Spring Equinox.

It has been 7 years since we arrived in the United States in 2007.

The two companies, Android and Twitter, have already built their own office buildings.

The eldest child of Shao Hanyun and Dorsey is almost 7 years old, and the second child is over 4 years old. Shao Hanyun still pretends to be the third child in her belly.

Wu Xiaoyue has been pregnant with her second child for 4 months, and Lin Yunjiao has been pregnant for more than a month.

This time, Wu Ruohan was accompanying Gao Yang to the United States.

Gao Yang came to the United States this time because Twitter is going to go public, several months later than I remember.

Twitter issuance price is US$32, with a total share capital of 720 million shares after issuance, raising 5.76 billion US dollars, and issuance market value is as high as US$23 billion.

The investment subscription multiple is as high as 36 times, and is enthusiastically sought after.

At noon on March 21, Western time, a coastal estate in East Palo Alto.

Jack Dorsey drove into the manor in a Mercedes-Benz G550, carrying Gao Yang and Wu Ruohan.

Shao Hanyun stood beside her 5-month-old belly, and the boss Oscar Dorsey stood. He also had a Chinese name called Shao Jie.

The second child is a girl named Anne Dorsey, and her Chinese name is Shao Wei.

Two beautiful mixed race children.

As soon as Gao Yang and Wu Ruohan got off the car, the two children trotted over:

"Godfather."

"Ruohan's godmother..."

Very fluent Chinese.

Gao Yang picked up Annie Dorsey: "Annie, do you want a godfather?"

"Think." The little girl said crisply.

In recent years, Shao Hanyun has returned to China with two children to play several times, but Gao Yang has never been to the United States.

Gao Yang touched Oscar's little head again: "Oscar, this summer vacation, will I come to China with Anne to play, okay?"

Oscar excitedly said, "Okay, thank you godfather."

Primary and secondary school students in the United States have nearly 3 months of summer vacation and the winter vacation is very short.

Gao Yang said: "My godfather is not very competent, so he didn't take you to play."

Shao Hanyun smiled and said, "Brother Yang, you were a busy person a few years ago. Without you, how could we live our current life."

Shao Hanyun's current value is billions of dollars, not including Dorsey.

In the evening, Chen Lan and Wu Fei and his wife also came, and the two families were originally neighbors.

Now, the Titan Fund is an amazing scale, and the couple has long been famous on Wall Street.

Titan Fund includes two parts, the main fund and the Titan Wealth Fund.

The main fund is closed and held by Gaoyang's beyond fund, Android company and Wu Fei, and its current scale has reached US$288 billion.

Among them, the equity of Beyond Fund is as high as 180 billion US dollars, the equity of Android company is 90 billion US dollars, and the equity of Wu Fei and Chen Lan is 18 billion US dollars.

Titan Wealth Fund has a current scale of US$60 billion, of which Titan Fund's equity is 12 billion.

Chen Lan and Wu Fei are preparing to release Titan Wealth's fundraising again in the near future, planning to raise 20 billion US dollars.

The new stock pool, Gao Yang and Wu Ruohan are all ready for them.

At noon on March 22, Western time, Android and Twitter, two companies, such as Andy Rubin, who knew Gao Yang, all came to the Coast Manor and opened a party at Shao Hanyun's house.

After meeting, Andy Rubin gave Gao Yang a warm hug.

Andy Rubin is proud: "Lucas, there are about 1.6 billion smartphones in the world, of which 1.1 billion are our operating system.

This year, it is expected that more than 1 billion smartphones will be sold worldwide and more than 800 million Android phones will be sold.

Mobile phone manufacturers, chip manufacturers, software developers, telecom operators, banks...

Hundreds of first-class companies in the industrial chain have joined the Android camp.

This year, our revenue is expected to exceed US$10 billion and profits exceed US$4 billion.

Android has dominated the mobile phone market, which is amazing.”

Gao Yang smiled slightly: "Andy, keep working hard to provide users with the best open source system with user experience."

Next, Chen Lan, Wu Fei and Wu Ruohan joined the chat.

In recent years, android has successively invested in key industrial chain companies such as ARM, ASML and Qualcomm, and has acquired more than 30 technology-based small and medium-sized companies.

Android company also directly bought 3% of Google's total share capital.

Chen Lan said: "Gaoyang, should Android be considered for listing?"

Gao Yang thought for a while and shook his head and said, "Android holds 80 billion US dollars in financial equity assets. After Twitter goes public, it will increase by more than 10 billion US dollars, so there is no need to go public.

Starting this year, the dividend income of stocks held by Android will no longer be used to increase positions.

Within two to three years, I suggest Android acquires ARM, or at least take control.

Then, continue to buy Google's stock, accounting for more than 10% of the total share capital, and strengthen cooperation with Google.

ASML, if there is an opportunity, can also increase its shareholding ratio.”

Andy Rubin said: "Lucas, you are a natural strategist, and you agree very much with your plans. Hopefully one day, Android will be able to acquire Google."

Gao Yang smiled and said, "Andy, I believe that there will be that day."

In the evening, Gao Yang and Wu Ruohan returned to the 15-acre sea view manor villa they bought for her.

Shao Hanyun's family lived in this villa until two years ago, and moved to their new home more than 100 meters away.

Here, Shao Hanyun has been arranging people to take care of him and has been well maintained.

In the spacious bedroom, after warming up, Wu Ruohan gently stroked Gao Yang's cheek:

"Husband, you are so handsome, and you are as young as we came here in 2008."

Gao Yang smiled and said, "Ruohan, I am almost 40 years old."

Wu Ruohan kissed him:

“You have a 30-year-old body, which is awesome.

Time flies so fast, I'm almost 34 years old, and it's almost 15 years since I met you."

Wu Ruohan smiled again: "People who love to recall the past will start to grow old."

Gao Yang smiled and said, "You are in your prime, and you are getting younger and younger..."

That night, the two talked about a lot of past events.

Gao Yang originally gave Wu Ruohan 12% of the shares of Android, but now it can be worth $20 billion, which is still a very conservative calculation.

He himself also holds a 28% stake in Android, which can be worth $50 billion.

On March 24, Twitter was listed on the Nasdaq and jumped directly to $56 at the opening, and rose to $69 at the highest during the session, closing at $62.30.

On the first day of listing, Twitter rose sharply +94.68%, with a market value of US$44.856 billion.

Hilton Garden Inn, South Manhattan.

At night, Jack Dorsey, Beats Stone, Andy Rubin, Wu Fei and Chen Lan were all excited.

Now, Twitter is listed, and Android is the major shareholder of the company. After multiple rounds of financing and listing, the shareholding ratio has dropped from the earliest 60% to 39%, and still has a market value of more than 17 billion US dollars.

Dorsey's shareholding has dropped from 22% to 14.3%, and its value is more than 6 billion US dollars.

Shao Hanyun's shareholding has dropped from 15% to 9.75%, and his value is more than 4 billion US dollars.

Stone's shareholding has dropped from 8% to 5.2%, with a net worth of US$2.3 billion.

All have become real rich people...
