Before The College Entrance Examination, My Life Was Gamified

Chapter 151: All Major Capitals Gather

Now, even Orfila can't tell which of Li Bai's words is true and which is false.

Regardless of YouTube's prospects.

Straight up now.

YouTube is definitely the most sought-after emerging company by capital. As Li Bai’s dedicated investor, Orfila has to think about how to play the trick perfectly with Li Bai in order to obtain more benefits from other investors.

"Then what should we do specifically?" Orfila knew that it was best to let the boss make up his mind on such matters.

She was reading "Sun Tzu's Art of War" recently, and found that the wisdom of the people of Longguo is really not something that a little white flower like her can hold a candle to.

"Before I came, I planned to let Wood Company announce that it had acquired 10% of YouTube's shares at a valuation of 35 billion US dollars. But if you think about it carefully, if we announce the financing in cash, it will certainly stimulate YouTube's valuation." 87 "But tomorrow someone from the IRS will come to collect taxes, so you should understand."

"Okay boss, I admit that those guys are vampires." Orfila couldn't help but start complaining.

In Millikin, the IRS is the official department with the worst reputation, definitely not one of them.

Li Bai continued: "So my plan is to cooperate closely, exchange MGM's shares with YouTube's shares, and everyone will cross-hold.

Although this way of turning the left hand into the right hand seems a bit unnecessary.

But this mode of operation can explain why Li Bai has a close relationship with Wood Investment Company.

In the eyes of the outside world, Li Bai and wood will become a group with "interests tied together".

In the future, the distribution of Dark Horse movies, MGM's movie scripts, etc., these series of problems can all be explained.

It's not that Li Bai is too careful, but that the wood company is not yet exposed.

When Li Bai is strong enough, he will naturally disclose everything.

If the media are now picking up the bottom of the sky, the TV station under MGM will be ordered by the MGM official to sell.

"When will it be announced? Or, wait until tomorrow to make an offer with Bill Gates?"

What Orfila meant was that she was clearly responsible and took the initiative to increase the valuation.

But obviously, this approach is too deliberate.

Li Bai quickly shook his head: "There are many ways to raise the price. I will let YouTube notify those venture capital companies later | We can discuss financing with them tomorrow."

In fact, recruiting financing is to let investors see the company's future prospects.

So improving YouTube's stickiness to users is the key.

Recently, there have been many software and web pages imitating YouTube on the market.

Means a competitor has emerged.

But the competitiveness of these small companies is far inferior to YouTube. So it will not affect the valuation for the time being.

But from the investor's point of view, with competitors, it means that YouTube's future may slip from its peak. Such examples are not uncommon in shopping malls.

This is also a bargaining chip that they may lower the price.

But overall, Li Bai isn't too worried.

With YouTube's current size, those cats and dogs that just appeared can't shake YouTube's status.

Li Bai discussed with Orfila the script for the A round of financing tomorrow, and strongly urged the other party to act strictly according to the script, and then returned to Beverly Hills.

Although the environment was changed, Li Bai still fell asleep early.

In the afternoon of the next day, in the conference room of YouTube, representatives of several investment companies came here early.

I have to say that they are very optimistic about YouTube's prospects.

Among them, Softbank was directly launched by Masayoshi Son himself.

Soon, Li Bai and Bill Gates entered the meeting room together, only Orfila was the last one to arrive.

On the surface, everyone is enjoying themselves.

But everyone knows that in the conference room today, some fights are inevitable.

Generally speaking, when looking for investment companies to raise funds, they will contact them individually in private. Almost no company will call several investment companies together to engage in this kind of financing method similar to an auction.

But YouTube did this, and they, the investment market, had to bite the bullet and come here.

Suffice to say YouTube's current influence.

Li Bai said with a smile: "Welcome to our YouTube. Since everyone is a leader in this industry, they naturally know the current situation and potential of YouTube. Next, I will introduce the future development direction of YouTube."

Representatives of several major investment banks were visibly stunned.

Is this YouTube boss so upright?

Not even a word of compliment?

Except for Bill Gates, those present are all the most influential companies in the investment world...

Sequoia, Softbank, KPCB, DFJ, Atlantic Volkswagen, Doll Capital Management.

It can be said that the former presidents of the company were the kind who nodded and bowed when they saw them, but this young man didn't seem to take them seriously.

But these people may be a little unhappy in their hearts, but their faces are still smiling.

This is the power of interest.

"Our YouTube now has a total of three businesses; an online movie playback platform; a short video playback platform; and Internet celebrity incubation and promotion."

Everyone nodded slightly.

In particular, the new vocabulary of Internet celebrity has reached everyone's hearts at once.

Many of the video shooters launched by YouTube recently are Internet celebrities, and some Internet celebrities are even as popular as third-rate stars.

So in Hollywood, some starlets have already started recording small videos and uploading them to YouTube.

What a terrible influence.

Li Bai has no time to figure out what these people are thinking, he is thinking about what he should say to make YouTube's valuation even higher!

Basically, there are three steps to fool investors. First, review the previous glory; second, analyze the current situation; third, look forward to a better future.

For YouTube, retrospective glory is out of the question.

These people probably know more about the history of YouTube than Li Bai himself.

So Li Bai decided to focus on the next two steps.

He started the first round of bragging on 4.4: "I prefer to call the short video platform: self-media platform. In the future, this kind of platform will release their own facts and news to the general public through the Internet and other channels. The way of communication will definitely become a mainstream media. What YouTube is doing now is to continuously promote this self-media model. Including the Internet celebrities we promoted recently, it is also made to further promote the advent of the self-media era. effort."

The representative of KPCB frowned and said: "Wait a minute, I have a question. The popularity of computers is far from enough. Although the self-media concept you proposed is very novel and seems to have a market, in recent years I'm afraid there won't be much room for development, right?"

At this moment, Li Bai and Orfila laughed together.

The representative of KPCB is such a nice guy [Feeling more like a trust than Orfila!.]
