Chapter 20: : Big advantage, compromise? nonexistent!

There is a standard in the investment circle. The so-called "unicorn" enterprise refers to the company that has been established within 10 years, has a valuation of more than US $ 1 billion, has received private equity investment and has not yet been listed. As a representative of explosive growth, " "Unicorn" companies are considered to be the concentrated embodiment of technological innovation.
The potential demonstrated by Coastline Technology is more than 1 billion US dollars. The valuation of 10 billion US dollars is even conservative. Obviously, this is a super unicorn company.
However, this is just an illustration of potential. No matter how high the valuation is, it is essentially a virtual one. Coastline Technology is still a start-up company. There are no profitable projects. Basically, it is in the early stage of burning money.
前 Early stages of startup technology companies are basically in this state.
IDG's venture capital is quite satisfactory. As a seed round investment, this is a angel investment. 200 million US dollars is a astronomical figure. Few startup technology companies can get 200 million US dollars in seed round investment. Moreover, investors only acquire 20% of the shares.
话 But then again, the prospects shown by the coastline technology are equally astonishing, where the value is almost within reach, and the capital is naturally profit-seeking and the nature is greedy. IDG Venture Capital's move is definitely not because it has more money and nowhere to spend, but it is very clear that it is impossible to eat it alone and never think about it, but it is clear that I hope to get the largest share of this cake.
According to the burning speed of technology companies, it will not take long for rounds A, B, and C to be raised. The business prospects currently shown by Coastline Technology. IDG Venture Capital Funds must not be diluted if the shares in their hands are not diluted. Follow and even lead.
After several rounds of financing, IDG Venture Capital may hold more than 30% of the shares of Coastline Technology, becoming the second largest shareholder after the founder, and even the first largest shareholder is very likely.
著名 The founders of the world's famous technology giants can hold very few shares of more than 20%.
However, Shen Taoli obviously underestimated Ye Hua's ability and strong desire to control. Without that adventure, Ye Hua founded Coastline Technology and developed holographic technology, and may bow to capital compromise.
But as a man with golden thighs, he has a big advantage and compromises? nonexistent!
Having mastered the core technology, without funding support, it is a big deal, and has the ability to develop the technology himself. Ye Hua has even figured out that once he is hindered, he will start a private theater by himself and use his own. Worried about holographic technology not being profitable?
There are only a few million things to open a private theater, and this money Ye Hua can still afford.
的 The company that has achieved success without compromising capital is not without it. Living people can still be suffocated by urine. Ye Hua is an iron baby. The first iron is the master who will not turn back if he breaks the southern wall.
I put away my thoughts and Ye Hua pretended to be surprised: "200 million US dollars, more than one billion soft sister coins, how can you spend so much money?"
Shen Taoli felt a sudden sorrow in his heart, and it was a big loss in his heart. He knew that he would open 100 million US dollars. No, 100 million soft sister coins would be fine. I saw Ye Hua's arrogance at the exhibition before, every word and every move has a taste of a big tech coffee style, now it seems to look high.
Since it was opened, it ca n’t be recovered, but Shen Taoli ’s confidence has doubled, and he immediately laughed:
Hehe, President Ye, this is a manifestation of IDG ’s sincerity. Although 200 million US dollars is not a small amount, but during the startup of the technology company Most of them burned a lot of money, not a lot ... then, your company agrees. "
Shen Taoli waited for the other party to nod his response, but Ye Hua said politely: "I'm sorry Mr. Shen, Coastline Technology has no tendency to raise funds for the time being."
"Well, then what's next for us ... what?" Shen Taoli didn't have time to react, and when he came back, he suddenly looked at Ye Hua, and this rejection was too unexpected.
Shen Taoli and his assistant looked at each other, feeling puzzled. Looking at the other company's company, it seems that there is not much money shortage. After all, a money-starved startup cannot afford the rent of the central building.
At last, when I saw Ye Hua's self-confidence and confidence, did the other party really have a deep background? If you think about it, it is very possible. There should also be a powerful scientific research laboratory behind such a powerful technology.
For a while, Shen Taoli was not very good at judging, all kinds of signs are showing that the origin of the other party is not simple.
But he was not so easy to give up: "General Manager Ye, do you think IDG's sincerity is not enough, or for any other reason, it doesn't matter what you can talk about."
"Mr. Shen's sincerity is nothing to say, but the shoreline company is currently well funded and external financing is not currently included in the company's development planning sequence." Ye Hua added again.
Seeing Ye Hua's statement, Shen Taoli had to regret it, but before he left, he also took out a business card to inform Ye Hua that if the Coastline Technology Company had any financial difficulties, he could call him directly. .
It is obviously impossible for Shen Taoli to die so easily, but now he hasn't figured out what Ye Hua and Shoreline Technology are, so it's hard to make a judgment. Now, I'll investigate it clearly before I say it.
Xie Yehua personally delivered the two visiting VC investors to the door. Shen Taoli did not forget to mention the issue of financing cooperation again, and was sincere. He finally left with a few words of embarrassment.
Qiao Wei, who was on the side, also had eyes with adoration and adoration, and did not expect that Ye Hua, who had been whispering when classmates had dinner, UU reading www.uukanshu.com and these investors talked arrogantly, starting from In the end, it's easy.
Ye Yehua watched as the two VCs disappeared into the field of vision, while turning, he threw the business card in the trash directly without hesitation.
After a while, the company came back with several batches of VC investors, including the famous SoftBank Investment, and none of them were absent. The investment funds of some Internet technology giants also came. Approved, left unwillingly.
初 Start-ups like Coastline Technology are typically those who abuse VCs hundreds of times and chase like first love. After all, you ca n’t go through banknotes if you ca n’t live with them.
Uh ...
In a hotel in the downtown area of ​​the hotel, Shen Taoli stood in front of the windowsill and looked at the center building. He heard a voice from the mobile phone near his ear, and said, "What do you say? He doesn't have any background? Pure startup Team? "
A voice came from the other end of the communicator, "... The data we surveyed showed this. If he really has a deep background, then it must be the background, and we can't even detect a trace of it. Miao. But, I believe the former. If he really has a background, why should he go to the International Electronics Show? That doesn't make sense. "
"I see." Shen Taoli hung up the phone, watching the center building gradually show disdain and sneer, and began to doubt that he was a man with a background. He never expected that this was the result. It turned out to be a technical genius. Stupid in business.
"One has no background, two has no capital, three has no connections, four has no platform, and is unwilling to share with VC. The help of capital will become your biggest resistance, and the best kindness will become your biggest evil, and will educate you One lesson, young people. "
Uh ...
