October is already the end of the year, and many statistics will begin from now on.
If you are in China, don’t panic. You can count after New Year’s Day, because our New Year is usually at the end of January or February.
Westerners are different. They mainly follow the international calendar, so they naturally need to start counting in October.
There was one thing that gave Xiao Qi a headache that also started at this time, and that was the ranking of the world's richest people.
Although Xiao Qi is now very thick-skinned, others secretly said that he manipulated the rich list and greatly reduced his own wealth. He pretended not to hear it, but he had to deal with those two rankings every year, and they were better and better every year.
The annual payment was so large that Xiao Qi inevitably felt that it was a waste.
If it were used in China, at least dozens of schools could be built. How many children would be helped to sit in the classroom with textbooks?
Of course, such worries are nothing more than trivial matters. If you want to keep your wealth secret, you have to pay some price, which is reasonable.
However, there were other lists that made Xiao Qi very happy.
For example, after the ranking of global social networking sites came out, Xiao Qi's family became the target of everyone's attention.
The first place is naturally the unbeatable K. Since its establishment, this website has been crushing its peers. With more than 2 billion users so far, it is completely self-defeating.
K has been confirmed to be listed on Nasdaq next year, and now it has slowly begun various asset statistics, valuation estimates, etc. The initial estimated price should be around US$120 billion.
This is only the price at the time of the IPO. After the listing, if it does not exceed 180 billion US dollars, it will be considered that investors are blind.
The IPO valuation of 120 billion US dollars and the market value of 180 billion US dollars after the listing have already exceeded K's data in the previous life, but K in this life is naturally much more powerful than in the previous life.
Both Tang Mingxiang and Xiao Qi, after acquiring K shares, brought a large amount of funds to K and helped it develop rapidly.
Compared with the slightly slower development of the previous generation K before it was launched, the current high performance of K with more than 2 billion users is the best proof.
Therefore, on the one hand, everyone is amazed at K's valuation, and the other thing they envy the most is Tang Mingxiang's investment.
After DST’s new round of financing with a valuation of US$40 billion, K has not raised funds for more than a year.
The current shareholding structure of K is relatively simple.
The largest shareholder is Zuckerberg, who owns 34.2% of the shares.
Followed closely is Tang Mingxiang. She owns 33% of the shares, and this is because she sold 3% of her shares to the Steinbrenner family because of the acquisition of the New York Yankees. Otherwise, she was the largest shareholder.
The remaining third shareholder is dst Investment Company, which owns 10% of the shares with a capital of US$4 billion.
Then the remaining 22.8% of the shares are jointly held by several founders and employees of the company.
If the IPO is for US$120 billion, Tang Mingxiang's shares will be worth US$39.6 billion. If you wait another year or two, the value of these shares will rise to more than US$70 billion.
In order to obtain so many shares, Tang Mingxiang paid a total of 8 billion US dollars. But the profit of nearly ten times is also very considerable.
If it weren't for Xiao Qi's emergence, this transaction alone would be enough to make Tang Mingxiang one of the top three richest people in the world.
Few people know that Xiao Qi’s profits in this business are actually amazing.
Although he sold 10% of his shares for US$4 billion and promised Zuckerberg that he would sell all the stocks within three years, Xiao Qi will not choose to sell until the market value is at least US$200 billion.
Even a revenue of 20 billion US dollars and a profit of 400% are enough to make dst company famous and enough to benefit Xiao Qi.
The second-ranked social networking site is r. Although the scale of r is not as large as k, its coverage area is very broad. At least 600 million people are using it, and the user stickiness is very strong.
For this reason, Wall Street values r at 10 billion U.S. dollars, which is also very high for social networking sites like Weibo, and if the revenue balance point is found in the future, it will become more developed.
.
Last year, dst spent US$600 million to buy % of its shares, which was praised as a very successful investment.
Some people behind the scenes are already saying that this business was actually invested by Milner for Xiao Qi, and many people believe this.
Of course, the reason why R can develop so rapidly in just one year is because of Milner's vigorous development after investing funds. Without this funding, R would not be so large in scale.
The third social networking site is the legitimate photo sharing site. This site has more than 500 million users and has a market value of over 40 billion US dollars. It is consolidating its position step by step.
It is worth mentioning that the market value of Meitu Sharing is higher than that of r, but it only ranks third. The reason is that it is a listed company, and r has not yet been listed. Once r is ready to go public, it will be at least more than 30 billion US dollars.
And according to r's user stickiness, its market value will soon rise, even stronger than that of beautiful photo sharing.
Returning to the topic, Xiao Qi also founded this beautiful photo sharing business, and is still the largest shareholder. In this business, he has made at least more than 20 billion US dollars, which is definitely a lot of money.
The fourth social networking website is a website that is beyond everyone’s expectations.
This social networking site that had already shone brightly in its previous life is no exception in this life. With Xiao Qi’s strong financial support, planning and suggestions for the development of the entire website, and the hard work of a group of managers, it took more than a year.
In the past, it had more than 200 million users and was still growing rapidly, which is reasonable.
The main users of REST are now in the United States, and there are also many fans in nearby Canada, Mexico, and South American countries. No one can explain why, but they just like the style of REST.
Many people sit next to the computer and open REST to look at pictures all afternoon. This has almost become a fashion among young people.
Even Google, Baidu, and other companies have come to Rest, hoping to obtain technical authorization from Waterfall Flow so that their website images can look like this, making it easier for people to browse.
With so many popular factors, it is reasonable for Rest to quickly become popular and become the fourth largest social networking site in the world.
Its valuation has reached US$8 billion, and its IPO is expected to reach US$20 billion, which surprises no one at all.
The fifth one is even more unstoppable and burns after reading.
In just a few months, the number of users who burn after reading has exceeded 200 million, and it is growing every day.
With the support of Xiao Qi's strong financial resources, the computer room of Burn after reading has been exploded 5 times since its launch, and the server crashed 5 times. This shows how much people like to use Burn after reading.
People are talking about the fact that the only one that has any hope of competing with K for the title of the number one social networking site in the future is this one that will burn after reading.
Although the number of users may not be greater than k, in terms of influence and reach of people, burning after reading is definitely not bad.
The only thing it lacks now is time. As long as it is given another three years of development time and allowed to develop well with Xiao Qi's financial resources, it will definitely shine even more brilliantly!
Now the valuation of Instant Reading has directly exceeded 15 billion U.S. dollars, and the valuation of IPO has reached more than 30 billion U.S. dollars. People on Wall Street are willing to give it such a high valuation, which proves that it is really worth this.
Price!
You know, it has only been less than half a year since its launch.
Google and K back then were not as domineering as it was!
Therefore, after browsing the top five social networking sites in the world several times, people will suddenly find that except for K, R, and beautiful picture sharing, Xiao Qi and his wife hold part of the shares, and the remaining two rest and ephemeral
, turned out to be all Xiao Qi’s company.
The management's shareholding of less than 10% is simply negligible.
Not to mention that Xiao Qi also has the twin stars of professional social networking sites LinkedIn and R!
If we also include Tang Mingxiang’s tags for junior high school students and high school students, basically they can account for half of the top fifteen social networking sites!
Not to mention the hundreds of billions of wealth that Xiao Qi may have in it, but just in terms of the influence of this social networking site, Xiao Qi far surpasses Zuckerberg and anyone else, becoming the well-deserved king!
Think about it, how powerful is the influence of a global hegemon in the online world?
No wonder even Zuckerberg once said that in front of a once-in-a-century network electronics genius like Xiao Qi, the rest, no matter how talented they are, can only be resigned to defeat! (To be continued.)
