Google and Youtube: $1.65 billion

Oct 7, 2009 0 commenti
Durante la deposizione del processo ViaCom-Youtube Eric Schmidt ha affermato che il quantitativo economico sborsato per l'acquisizione del famoso portale di video sharing si aggira intorno a 1,65 miliardi di dollari; praticamente poco piu' del doppio del valore che oscillava invece tra i 650 e i 700 milioni di dollari.
Schmidt: Sure, this is a company with very little revenue, growing quickly with user adoption, growing much faster than Google Video, which was the product that Google had. And they had indicated to us that they would be sold, and we believed that there would be a competing offer--because of who Google was--paying much more than they were worth. In the deal dynamics, the price, remember, is not set by my judgment or by financial model or discounted cash flow. It's set by what people are willing to pay. And we ultimately concluded that $1.65 billion included a premium for moving quickly and making sure that we could participate in the user success in YouTube.
Secondo le voci di "corridoio", se Google non avesse pagato una cifra cosi' esorbitante per Youtube, l'avrebbe acquistato un conccorrente.
