6:03 pm
generally that's pretty good for tech. public tech does somewhat well and private tech, pre-ipo tech does well because if you force people to take more risk, what's more exciting but risky than private tech question mark my fear is we've seen the federal reserve hold off so long that people are starting to get nervous that this recovery is not recovering better or that the fed has no dry powder if things go wrong. i think we're getting close to the end of this being helpful, but it is helpful now. curious what you think the impact will be on ipo's. people who bought -- rationality is returning. companies rather than raising money on what they might do will be raising money on what they have done and you will humbly see more ipo's in the next 18
6:04 pm
months then we have seen, which has basically been zero over the last 10 months. emily: do you agree or will the fact that her mates that rates will remain unchanged, will that create an uncertain environment? guest: i think we're going to see a situation where we see more than zero is an easy act to top. we will get more, but i don't think we are going to get the marquee names. uber and airbnb will be slower to come to the market but we will see something happen, which is much lower valuations than we have seen which will be good for investors in the big picture and give them more upside to chase, but we see some of the names they are more excited about. we have some companies coming for ipo's because they cannot raise real money at private comes out inch bigger numbers first and we set the tone for investor appetite. i think we will see a better
6:05 pm
second half because the first half was ready darn close to zero. i'm curious about your thoughts at m and day. mark andreessen said there were a lot of pent-up deals in the pipeline. listen to what he had to say. mark: most big cap companies have done well in the past five years. -- big tech countries have done well in the past five years. then they can't go shopping and by these companies, so i think it's indicative of what will be a series. there will be a whole run of m and they this year and next year. emily: what is your take on his comments? end and ahink the strength is something we will see for a lot of reasons. people are arbitrage and the fact that a don't want to pay 35% to repatriate dollars. we will see logic where everyone got excited about the linkedin deal.
6:06 pm
the bar is low, so it's better than cash and holding cash with a zero return like the fed discussion is not exciting. i think we will see some of the flailing public ipo's that did not do well, they might be real targets. private names still have to readjust to lower public multiples. there's a lot of great private names and i think we are probably seeing the end of the era and now it's a sign of strength to go public. linkedin-microsoft deal is a one-off. and i think people have gotten way off thinking we will see lots of deals between public companies. i'd do not inc. that is coming. emily: always great to have you on the show. turning to uber's biggest rival 4.5 billionising dollars in a round of funding

original merger. to sayi don't want orchestrated, but i brought them together. emily: do you think that was the secret to their success? guest: i think it is a winner takes all market. the scale is obviously important. the two companies engaging in head-on conversation, we believed by putting them together, we would make the competition more rational. you think it is a winner take all market in china? guest: we may have a second player that holds a 10% market share, but i think economics speaks that you really need to have a dominant player. emily: uber is pouring money into china right now. what are their aspects? among all the internet companies who come to china,
6:09 pm
they are putting up the best fight and they are a tough competitor. is winner takes all, do they stand a chance in the long term? i think we are figuring it out somewhere along the way. emily: you told bloomberg you are trying to find the next jack ma in china. about? you most excited what companies are you most excited about? guest: i think the current generation, the company i -- we just talked about. created a combined company, the largest local service company in china and it is doing extremely well. and that'sther another one we are excited about. yuri milner was at the

6:11 pm
probably more 6040 in my view. but certain sectors is more toward here. emily: what about some of the other hubs guest: he mentioned? india is growing fast and israel has always been very strong but they are lacking a big home market, so they are a little bit handicapped. if a lot of his startups to go global from day one. what advice would you give to a company like you are trying to expand in china? are taking ak they different approach to china. i think eventually in this market, they need to figure out how to partner with a local company. airbnb is looking for a china-based ceo. do you think that's the better call? more localization of the service?
6:12 pm
i think the businesses global by nature. it's all about outgoing traffic. the increment growth is going to come from chinese travelers. for them, it's about helping chinese travelers have a better global travel experience. they can do this on a global basis where i think uber is more about local markets. chairman and ceo of china renaissance, thank you for joining us today. are watchingy we -- the maker of chips using computer -- in computer networks says it will buy qlogic a deal ballot -- valued at $1.36 billion. the company said in a statement after initially being hunted -- halted, shares jumped 12% in extended trading.

6:21 pm
notwithstanding, the market has yet to develop. emily: what you are saying is what we heard yesterday from sequoia partners who associated virtual reality with the trough of disillusionment and the concern that the hype just won't live up to reality. how many years out do you think you will be ready to support the are in a bigger way or do you think it will really go mainstream? questions which i have raised on a number of occasions. we remain open-minded. and always makes me nervous when billions of dollars are invested around a convention night -- conventional idea of attention with success. sometimes it leads to disappointment but sometimes it doesn't. it worked out well for google and facebook and there are plenty of things we can point to wear a great deal of enthusiasm
6:22 pm
has led to success. on the other hand, it is a fair question. we are in a place where if a market zealots, we will be there and benefit from it greatly. if a market doesn't develop, our investment is to menace. live from e3, us thank you so much for stopping by. still to come, nintendo but big on the legend of zelda, but what about a mysterious console in the works? match group shares are up 10% after one analyst called it underappreciated. their 45alk about dating ramp. ♪

6:48 pm
horsepower of a particular system. for us, it's about the content. nintendo is a content focused company. we create content that makes people smile and we are focused on bringing our best u andainment to the wii the future. whatever microsoft and sony are doing talking about the systems, that is for them to fight out in that red ocean. we want to make sure we are bringing our best content forward and the reaction to zelda has been more than we could ever imagine. you foresee a dip in actual game sales because people will be waiting for these new consoles and there is such intense competition? guest: honestly, no. what we know is when we launch new games, the demands for the games across the world end up being very strong.
