$畅游(CYOU)$ 又是大手笔,9100万美元买了海豚浏览器51%的股份,同时还有3000万美元买海豚浏览器的可转债

BEIJING, July 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Changyou.com Limited ("Changyou" or the "Company") (CYOU), a leading online game developer and operator in China, and MoboTap Inc. ("MoboTap"), a Cayman Islands company that is the mobile technology developer behind the Dolphin Browser, today jointly announced that they have entered into a definitive investment agreement (the "Investment Agreement") pursuant to which Changyou will purchase 51% of the equity interests in MoboTap on a fully-diluted basis, for cash consideration of US$91 million. In addition, Changyou will provide US$30 million in funding to MoboTap by purchasing a zero-coupon convertible bond due in five years. Changyou will have the option, exercisable at any time when the bond is outstanding, to convert all or any part of the unpaid principal into shares of MoboTap at a conversion price that would result in Changyou's equity interest in MoboTap increasing to 60% on a fully-diluted basis, measured as of the closing under the Investment Agreement, if the option is exercised in full. The transaction is expected to close in August 2014, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions.

MoboTap is the creator of Dolphin Browser, a free mobile browser for Android and iOS devices and is one of the most popular third-party mobile browsers in terms of the total number of downloads in the month of March 2014 according to App Annie. Over 100 million users globally have used Dolphin Brower, with the vast majority of its users based in the U.S. and Europe.

Mr. Tao Wang, Changyou's chief executive officer, said, "The success of Dolphin Browser clearly reflects the MoboTap team's ability to translate their solid understanding of mobile users' needs and strong technical expertise into successful products and a global business. I am excited to work with MoboTap and we will support Dolphin Browser to grow its market share even further."

Mr. Yongzhi Yang, chief executive officer of MoboTap, said, "MoboTap went from a small startup to now a company with 100 million users worldwide. The mobile browser is the gateway to the Internet on mobile devices and our passion for creating the best mobile user experience has never changed. I am happy that Changyou also shares our vision for the future of mobile Internet and will be our strong supporter of our global expansion."

从没听说过这个浏览器,一些不知所谓的国内互联网公司以亿美金来算身价,难道不是对这个公司、这个行业的一个警示信号?

唉,畅游有这钱还是赶快开发个17173的iPad版出来吧。搞平台战略竟然连个iPad版本都没有。

还好我早就从估值里给滔哥烧去6亿美元供未来两三年花。

又是老二,老三的货。买了以后一点也不会有突破。总的来说,就是用股东的钱来试错。另,前期的股东,不是腾讯就是知名vc ,不排除有under table deals。

打赏错误

希望看到海豚的财务报表。畅游5.5亿现金,一游戏公司买浏览器要干嘛,张朝阳怎么同意的,搜狗浏览器呢?

我是个小女子,进雪球一段时间了。
我觉得雪球鱼龙混杂,就如一个小社会,有真正的高人,有滥竽充数的南郭先生,有名过其实的名人(大V),有喜欢骂娘的小混混,有借着跟名人抬杠而一夜爆红的无名小卒,还有自己不努力,老是想着靠英明领袖指导自己的普通人,还有别有用心的伪君子,以及司马昭之心路人皆知的真小人。
说说我对雪球网的印象:
雪球网高管自称此地汇集了很多聪明的价值投资者,事实的真相是:其实大部分都还没入投资大门。且大部分人热衷于吵架、抬杠、自我炒作、吹牛逼,尤其是那个什么GT周,总是说自己每年能翻几倍。照此速度,十年后,中国首富非他莫属。
说说我对这些大V们的印象:
1、老股民。研究能力很强,对财务的精通程度远远超出你的想象,对微观的把握能力超强,人品也相对不错,长相忠厚,属可靠之人。可惜投资战略水平还有待提高,2007年股市那么疯狂,他还提出更疯狂的口号,且不懂得卖出,就是一个明证。
2、释老毛。综合水平一般,擅长作文以及制造话题,擅长自我炒作,是“秀才投资,十年不成”的典型例子。事实证明,学者教授即使理论水平再高,到了实战中都很容易成为“赵括”。但释老毛十分适合当娱乐公司的策划大师,经他炒作的明星,想不红都很难,哪怕这个明星唱歌或演戏一塌糊涂。
3、小小辛巴。这厮明明属于投机者,却偏偏喜欢自称投资者,还出书,竟然还卖到一百多元。天呀,中国的股民已经够惨了,你还趁火打劫。你真的觉得你写的那些内容值一百多元吗?
4、GT周,典型的自我膨胀分子。读他的文章就如鲠在喉,字里行间透着一股嚣张跋扈、不可一世之气。这是一个才华、品德都属下等之人。总感觉某人这种自我炒作的行为背后有着不可告人之目的。
还有其它大V,我就不一一点评了。有很多真正的高人,并没有太多粉丝,他们大隐隐于雪球,值得尊敬。
诸位,小女子出言不逊,若有得罪,请谅解。
请大家给我送雪碧,我缺雪币,看完我的评论,请您至少打赏两个雪币,否则,我跟你没完。呵呵。。。
