Chapter 1420: Mutual demand

() The beginning of the new quota cycle, Shi Lei naturally needs to plan the money that this quota cycle will spend.
For the past year, Yao Er has been helping Shi Lei's collection of artworks.
In a year, in fact, there have been some goals, but the collection consumption in Shi Lei's quota has been used to build his own museum, so he did not free up money for collection.
In this quota cycle, the museum has already been built. Naturally, Shi Lei will not continue to increase the museum's investment. Instead, he will be preparing to collect one or two items in a secure manner. Anyway, he should also enrich the museum's collection. Even if the collections owned by Shi Lei are valuable, there must be a bit of lower-level collections in them, otherwise, the door will be shocked when you enter the door, and you should be confused when you go out. How did this grandson get so many worlds? Treasure of the class?
After distinguishing between low, medium and high-end, those valuable collections will not look so dazzling.
Therefore, it should be easy to spend this billion-dollar collection investment.
Consumption of the four hundred million in the city copy is even simpler. After Shi Lei bought the land, it is time to consider building a house on it.
The non-revenue investment part is even simpler. Shi Lei only needs to use it to return it to himself.
The rest is that 200 million.
With a cost of 150 million yuan, it is not too difficult for Shi Lei today, which needs to be taken care of, that is, the ordinary investment quota of 50 million yuan.
In addition, Shi Lei did not pay the last installment of the yacht, so he directly allocated 40 million and converted it into euros. He reached the account of the yacht company and completed the last payment of the yacht.
After the other party received the money, he immediately called Shi Lei and verified the money. Then, naturally, they diligently engaged Shi Lei for a long time. After all, Shi Lei revealed that he had plans to continue purchasing yachts during the year.
Thinking of the general consumption quota of this quota cycle, there are only 110 million left, and Shi Lei is not in a hurry, so he is very polite and will contact them if necessary.
Immediately, Shi Lei flew to the United States.
The destination is of course Silicon Valley. The house on Atherton has not been here for a long time.
After taking a two-day break and turning over the jet lag, Shi Lei came to the company and got the projects selected by the company in the past six months.
Shi Lei had already said hello to the company's people, so before Shi Lei came to the company, the company's staff had already reconnected with these investment-seeking projects and eliminated some projects that had already found investment. , They think they have investment value but have not yet found an investment.
Shi Lei browsed one by one, but found that it is normal for these projects to find no investment, because there is nothing new, basically they are repeating the old path of others. In fact, it's okay to cast a shot, but it won't work very well.
After learning that ordinary investment actually has a continuation effect, Shi Lei was less eager to spend the money.
So he threw those items into the trash can, allowing employees to continue collecting feasible items.
In places like Silicon Valley, projects will never be lacking. While waiting for the company to collect projects for investment, Shi Lei went to New York.
After lingering with Wei Xingyue, he found a design company and hoped that they would help him build a brand new residence.
When I heard that it was a mansion with an area of ​​more than 10,000 square meters, the design company also seemed extremely enthusiastic. The entire company turned around this project, and in just three days, they gave Shi Lei the first design plan.
Of course, this is just a rough design, a long way from the final finished product.
Shi Lei put forward a few of his own ideas. The other party added them one by one. After two days of running in, they basically reached an agreement. Next, it is time for the design company to complete the design. This time will take at least one month.
The company in Silicon Valley also heard that they had collected five projects and waited for Shi Lei's review.
Shi Lei returned to Atherton and selected two of these five projects.
These two projects have already sought angel investment, and now they are doing round A financing.
For the first project, the valuation they hope to achieve is 90 million US dollars, but the current investment fund in the United States gives them an evaluation of about 70 million. So their financing path is not smooth.
The second project, with a valuation of up to 120 million, is a relatively popular project. In addition to Shi Lei, four other investment companies are also interested in this.
This also means that if Shi Lei decides to invest in this project, it is difficult to get all ten points, and he needs to jointly invest with some of the other four companies.
Of course, it is not impossible, after all, it depends on who gives the favorable conditions.
However, Shi Lei does not mind co-investing with others. He only has a 50 million ordinary investment quota. At the current exchange rate, it is only about 7.5 million dollars. He does not want to invest his own funds .
The next day, Shi Lei asked the company's people to contact the company on the second project and meet their CFO directly.
Since Shi Lei's investment company has already invested in two projects in Silicon Valley, and both projects seem to be working well, this company's involvement in Shi Lei is also quite sincere.
After some contact, Shi Lei finally understood why this company is obviously more optimistic, and does not worry about the investors, but has not been able to finalize the A round.
They do not want to involve too many investors in the A round. They want to make their company's shareholding structure as simple as possible. This has led them to prefer a company to invest alone, but this is obviously not in line with Americans. Investment habits.
Therefore, they are most enthusiastic about Shi Lei, because whether Shi Lei's investment in Silicon Valley ~ EbookFREE.me ~ or his investment in Huaxia, it shows that he seems more willing to invest alone than with other companies Team up.
The CFO of the other party said: "In fact, some people have given us a valuation of 130 million, and even this number they said can be discussed again, but their fund and share composition itself is very complicated, and this investment It ’s just that they lead the investment, and at least two funds need to be involved. I said to Mr. Shi that this is not an insatiable desire for Mr. Shi to give a higher valuation. We can calculate the value at 120 million. However, from the perspective of Mr. Shi ’s consistent investment policy, we hope that you are a sole proprietor. "
Shi Lei nodded, expressing understanding.
This company's project is in the direction of microprocessors. Before meeting them, Shi Lei also contacted the domestic side.
China has always been at a disadvantage in terms of microprocessors, and this company's research and development direction can just complement the domestic side. In other words, the company's research and development direction can make up for the shortcomings in the domestic microprocessor research and development field.
Therefore, Shi Lei asked: "You want the share structure to be simpler, so I also have my needs. Would you like to leave the United States?"
