Without Weibo, Sina would be even worse. At present, the market value of Sina is only more than 2 billion US dollars, which is less than Tencent's monthly revenue. Meituan, Xiaomi, and Aauto Quicker now have a market value that greatly exceeds that of the old Sina. In fact, Sina currently has more than $2 billion in cash and short-term investments, and the company's total assets are as high as more than $4 billion, which shows that the market is really not optimistic about Sina.
After the privatization, Sina is expected to return to Hong Kong or be listed on the A-share market. At that time, the value of Sina is expected to be released, but it is estimated that it will not be too high. It is estimated that it will be tens of billions of RMB at most.
Sohu and Sina, the four traditional portals, have fallen behind seriously, and the market value of Sohu is currently lower, only a quarter of Sina's. The two buildings owned by Sohu are already worth billions. Recently, Sohu has cashed out all the shares of sogou. Life in Sohu may be even more sad in the future.
Needless to say, Tencent's current achievements have a market value of more than 4 trillion Hong Kong dollars, and the founder Ma's net worth has reached 400 billion. Tencent and Alibaba have also become two giants in the China market, and Tencent is also one of the top ten listed companies in the world.
Netease is not as successful as Tencent, but it has also achieved good results. With its advantages in games, Netease's market value is as high as tens of billions of dollars, and the net worth of Netease boss Ding Lei has reached 200 billion. Besides, Ding Lei was the richest man in China at the age of 32.
Netease founder Ding Lei is worth 200 billion yuan, and Tencent founder Ma is worth 400 billion yuan. So how much money does Sina founder have? In fact, many people may have a question? Everyone is familiar with the founders of Netease, Tencent and Sohu, and they often appear in the media. So who is the founder of Sina? In fact, he is Wang Zhidong, who is known as the Internet prodigy.
Wang Zhidong once created a lot of Internet history in China. For example, he founded the first VIA company in China, and this model was followed by many China Internet companies. In 2000, Wang Zhidong successfully led Sina to go public in the United States, which was a great success. Wang Zhidong was also one of the earliest programmers in China.
So where is Wang Zhidong now? Why is he seldom mentioned? In fact, Wang Zhidong was kicked out of Sina by shareholders in 200 1 year. 1993 Sina's predecessor, Sifang Litong Company, was established, backed by Sitong Group, the largest technology company in China at that time. At that time, Wang Zhidong became the co-founder of the company with extraordinary technology, and obtained 265,438+0% equity.
1997 Sifang Litong, under the leadership of Wang Zhidong, succeeded in obtaining an investment of US$ 6.5 million and became one of the earliest venture capital companies in China.
At that time, Wang Zhidong was only 28 years old. At that time, Wang Zhidong's fame far exceeded that of Ding Lei and others. Wang Zhidong also became one of the representatives of Zhongguancun at that time. Under the leadership of Wang Zhidong, Sina has successfully emerged as the first of the four portals through a series of new news topics.
1999 Wang Zhidong successfully merged Sifang Litong and Huayuan Company in Jiangfengnian, Taiwan Province, and then formed Sina Company, which was successfully listed in 2000. Wang Zhidong reached the pinnacle of his life. However, a year later, the Internet bubble burst and Sina's share price fell to $65,438 +0. At that time, shareholders suffered heavy losses because the average cost of their Sina shares was $4.
Wang Zhidong insists that Sina has more than $6,543.8 billion in cash, and it will definitely survive the cold winter of the Internet bubble. But shareholders don't buy it. They insisted on firing Wang Zhidong. Finally, Wang Zhidong unilaterally announced his resignation. Since then, Sina has become a soulless company.
After Wang Zhidong left Sina, he also founded Diandong Technology and launched a competitive collaborative application platform. However, the development of this company is not very good. Although it has been developing, it has achieved little so far. Wang Zhidong is also a silent crowd now. Wang Zhidong's net assets definitely exceed 1 billion pounds. Compared with ordinary people, he is still very successful. However, compared with his contemporaries, or with the latecomers such as Lei Jun and Wang Xing, Wang Zhidong is indeed far behind.
