Chapter 19: : Fast-moving VC venture capital

之前 Before the annual international electronics exhibition, no one would have thought that holographic technology had burst at the exhibition. That stunned every audience with fake and real three-dimensional images, and also every investor.
Everyone, such as Wu Hehao, was very happy. Besides, the development and growth of coastline technology also meant that his future and future were limitless, and he could enter a wider platform.
"General Manager Ye was handsome on the spot to introduce products. The technology industry must have a place for our boss in the future." Mo Daixuan said with admiration, Ye Hua said at the exhibition. (Pi) It really has the style of a big tech coffee.
"Okay, I'm being held. This won't help you with a raise." Ye Hua smiled. The crowd went into work immediately after a little fun and stayed in a promising company. , And also a veteran of this company, Jing Pingren's enthusiasm is also getting stronger and stronger.
Ye Yehua was not too happy about the success of Coastline Technology at the electronics show. Such a success was not a real success and did not bring much actual benefits to the company's current situation.
Coastline Technology wants to initially stabilize the situation, it must be commercialized, and the first profit of the company can be regarded as the real start.
There is no doubt that the next priority is to make products. The plan for steady progress requires manpower. The company now has only nine people. Except for Qiao Wei, secretary of Ye Hua, seven of them are all programmers. It is not a long-term solution to do the work of the administrator, and it is imperative to expand recruitment.
Not long after I returned to the company, it was almost time to get off work, but at this time Coastline Technology welcomed guests for the first time.
"Ye President, the company has two people who claim to be VC venture capital want to meet you." Qiao Wei came to the CEO's office and reported.
Xie Yehua heard her change her name and laughed, "Just call my name, you don't need to call Mr. Ye."
"That wouldn't work. Coastline Technology is a serious technology company. Everything has rules. You are the company's big boss. I am just one of your secretaries. How can I do it?" Qiao Weiran smiled: " However, when I'm not at work, I will still be private as before. "
"That's OK." Ye Hua nodded and smiled for a moment. Although Qiao Wei did not have any work experience in the secretarial position, so far, she has done a good job in this new job, basically there is nothing to be picky. local.
I went out of the office with Qiao Wei, and the people in the venture capital agency actually acted so fast, and the means were great. I found the company address of Coastline Technology in such a short time and everyone came.
In this regard, Ye Hua is relatively surprised but not too surprised. Capital smells are keen. Computational holography technology has made a stunning appearance on an industry stage such as the annual international electronics exhibition. Ye Hua and the names of Coastline Technology have already invested in it. It spread inside the circle.
The computational holographic effect presented at the exhibition can be said to be stunning in the technology circle and holographic imaging technology. This is a technology with infinite imagination space. This is the charm of holographic technology.
Guests are waiting in the waiting room. The office area of ​​Coastline Technology has reached nearly one thousand square meters, and a reception room of tens of square meters is definitely not missing.
: "It's really surprising. It's actually in the central building. There aren't thousands of people who can't run this company in a year. It's not as generous as a startup can afford. Does the founder have a background? Or from which scientific institution? "
Bian: "Our people are investigating and collecting his information, and they can develop real holographic technology. There must be something extraordinary that we can't see. It does not rule out that there is a scientific research institution and team behind it."
: "Holographic technology, what an attractive technology, it is estimated that the capital that is focused on the coastline can no longer bear it."
: "Natural."
With Ye Hua's arrival, the two VC venture capitalists waiting in the reception room stopped private discussions. A middle-aged man in a formal suit, headed up, suddenly reached out and shook Ye Hua with a smiling face. " Fortunately, Mr. Ye's youth is really shocking, but even more shocking is your company's computational holographic imaging technology, which can be described as shocking the audience, and it still shocks me in retrospect.
Ye Huadu has directly omitted his self-introduction, and it is not surprising that the other party can know his name. After all, Ye Hua's name is estimated to be quite famous in the investment circle.
The middle-aged man immediately said, "Oh, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. Shen Taoli, IDG Technology Venture Capital Fund's current head of Greater China."
IDG Ventures. This company Ye Hua has some knowledge. It was a venture capital organization established in 1992. It is one of the earliest venture capital institutions that entered the Greater China region. It has invested more than 300 companies in China and is well-known in China. Internet companies have their investment figures, such as the largest social networking company, the largest search engine, the largest security software in the country, and more than 80 invested companies have successfully listed or acquired.
IDG invests in a variety of fields, in addition to Internet companies, such as consumer goods, services, medical health, clean energy, etc. have their investment presence.
After some interviews, Shen Taoli inquired with a curious tone: "I don't know which research laboratory your company ’s computational holographic technology comes from. IDG Ventures has been paying attention to the development of holographic technology, but it is really expensive. Where the technology comes from. "
"Thinking Lab!" Ye Hua replied.
Shen Taoli and his assistants stunned after hearing it, looked at each other, a little puzzled, and looked at Ye Hua again, the latter nodded his head with a smile.
"Uh ..." Shen Taoli was faint again, but quickly reacted, and immediately said in an embarrassing manner without politeness: "Unbelievable, I did not expect that holographic technology came from the hands of President Ye, er, to ask a question, Mr. Ye, which college did you graduate from? "
When I knew I was taking the liberty, I asked peat, Ye Hua wanted to open it up, and said with a smile, "Pheasant University, it's not worth mentioning."
Qiao Wei couldn't help but laugh and silent. Shen Taoli was embarrassed for the third time. He understood that he was a bit rude. After reorganizing his speech, he went to the topic, saying, "Presumably Ye always guessed our intention, I will To be honest, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com IDG Venture Capital believes that it is very optimistic about your company ’s potential through internal research. As a start-up company, your capital is particularly scarce. We are very willing to share the venture risk with your company and help your company. Provide strong financial support. "
"Want to hear the details!" Ye Hua said concisely.
Shen Taoli nodded with a smile, and then said, "Your company is undoubtedly a unicorn company. IDG Ventures is willing to acquire a 20% stake in Coastline Technology on your company's seed round investment with a USD 200 million investment scale, and In future financing, IDG Ventures will continue to lead or follow up. "
Qiao Wei, who was on the sidelines, heard the figure of 200 million US dollars, and was extremely shocked. How much money was this? The opening was an astronomical figure, and it only accounted for 20% of the shares. Why was the money so worthless? Do rich people play like this?
Shen Taoli saw the beautiful secretary beside Ye Hua astonished by the numbers. He was very happy and refreshed. As a VC investor, good observation is a necessary quality. After seeing Qiao Wei's performance, he let He determined that Coastline Technology was indeed a startup technology company, a group of young tech geniuses.
It was such a surprise of 200 million US dollars. Obviously, he had not touched a huge amount of wealth. Shen Taoli was very satisfied, but to his surprise, Ye Hua was very calm and looked at him for three minutes, but he was relieved. After all, he is also the founder and helm of Coastline Technology, which should be the case.
But because Ye Hua's youth did not let him see it there, Shen Taoli's heart became more calm, and he increased his confidence in mastering the initiative.
Obviously, IDG's initial valuation of the coastline is $ 1 billion, which is a "unicorn" -level enterprise.
Uh ...
