Wang Ran: Facebook is company which has the opportunity to become epoch-making and revolutionary platform, the valuation of which depends on the length of investment horizons. If you have the investment horizon of one or two years, it is now a bit too expensive; if you have investment horizon of five to eight years, and then its space of appreciation still exists.

Financial reporter: The prospectus shows that advertising revenue is still Facebook's main source of income: advertising revenue of 2011 reached $ 3.154 billion, accounting for about 85%; payments and other fee income in the past two years have grown rapidly. How is the continuity of this business mode?

Wang Ran: As a platform with large flow of users, the core business model of Facebook is certainly is based on advertising, and advertising revenue accounting for nearly 85% is not the problem that Facebook is facing. In addition, under the premise of not infringing privacy, the charging mode of opening the user data to other users and services to provide more services, and then charging the fees may be naturally occurring.

Compared to other platforms, Facebook's strongest point is the relationship between the people inside it.

Thus, Facebook’s income in the future is more likely to come from mobile products, and mobile services will definitely surpass the traditional Internet business.
