Hon Hai Precision, better known as Foxconn, is already the world's largest electronics manufacturer. Chances are if you've got a laptop, console or smartphone it was assembled in one of the company's many Chinese factories. The giant has also gotten quite cozy with Sharp, with an eye towards investing directly in the LCD market, though no deal has been made official. Now the company is dipping its toes in the camera business, by purchasing an 8.88-percent stake in GoPro for $200 million. GoPro is best known for its rugged shooters used by shows like MythBusters

Go pro的9%就值2亿美元？seriously?

这个亿和兆的问题， 我一直都很糊涂。

200m == 2亿？

不值吧？ 还有什么其他产品？或者专利？

近日，美国GoPro相机创始人尼古拉斯·伍德曼(Nicholas Woodman)将公司8.88%的股份卖给了台湾富士康科技集团，其身价攀升至11.5亿美元(约合人民币69亿元)，从而成为又一位世界亿万富翁。

GoPro相机是一款用来拍摄运动员运动瞬间的便携式相机。它可以被固定在头盔上、身体某个部位以及其他运动设备上，来拍摄运动员滑雪、冲浪、赛车和蹦极中惊险刺激的瞬间。

据悉，伍德曼的创业之路并非一帆风顺。从加州大学圣地亚哥分校拿到视觉艺术学位后，不甘心给别人打工的他给自己设定了一个目标，那就是30岁之前创业成功。2000年初，他创立了funBag营销公司，可是不久后该公司便倒闭了。此时已经26岁的他又回到了起点。后来，他决定从自己最喜欢的冲浪中寻找灵感。最后，他终于成功了。

伍德曼说：“人们在自己钟爱的事情上最容易找到灵感。追逐你的热情，成功就近在咫尺。”
