Chapter 507： [High-profile Technology Venture Capital Summit]

Friday, March 22.

This day's technology circle and capital circle are very hot, and technology entrepreneurs from more than 100 countries and regions in the country and in the world have rushed to the same city of Sioux City.

Today is the first day of this year's Shengfeng Capital Global Venture Capital Summit. The summit venue has taken more than two months to complete the layout. This is not only a venture capital summit, but also a conference for technology entrepreneurs. Exhibition of high-tech applications.

With three words, it can perfectly explain the grandness of Shengfeng Capital Global Venture Capital Summit.

That's right, it's tall.

Although it is nominally an investment summit, capital cannot be the protagonist today. Science and technology are the absolute pronouns and protagonists of the summit.

...

Around eight in the morning, people from all walks of life who participated in the summit event successively entered the venue. The most popular group is the mass technology enthusiasts, and the majority of them are young people. Most of them are young college students. Although today is Friday, but Many people have missed their classes and have come to witness this technology event in person.

The second is the army of entrepreneurs. This is the main force. Shengfeng Capital Global Technology Venture Capital Summit is a sacred place in the minds of many technology entrepreneurs. They dream of being able to get an angel round of financing to realize their dream of technology entrepreneurship from 0 to 1 sailing.

Then there are people in the capital industry. You must know that Luo Sheng is the vane of the industry technology and the barometer of the economy. Every year, the VC Summit attracts VCs from around the world to participate, and many VCs themselves pay large sums of money. I gave Shengfeng Capital an investment care.

Another is the industry insiders in the technology industry. Every year, the VC Summit is regarded by the industry as the vane of technology.

In the end, people in the media are naturally indispensable.

The number of participants in this summit reached the highest in the past, reaching more than 20,000 people.

Sioux City has gradually become synonymous with China's technology city and is widely known in the world. Its influence is similar to that of California in Silicon Valley.

Known as the "Oriental Silicon Valley", more and more start-up technology companies were born in Sioux City.

As to why this is the case, there is no need to say too much.

At this moment, the summit scene is crowded with crowds of people. The main venue is open-air. Today's weather is very strong and the sky is clear.

For ordinary technology enthusiasts who participated in this event for the first time, it seemed as if they were attending a three-day world's top and most cutting-edge technology expo event.

The most intuitive feeling when entering the venue is that there are screens everywhere, large or small, everywhere, and the screens showing them feel like they are in the future world.

Everyone who eats melon in China came to the scene, all of them are inexplicably proud and proud, especially some 30-year-olds, who can never believe that all this is happening in the Mainland.

Ten years ago, if someone told them that such a grand event would occur in China, they absolutely thought that the other party was daydreaming.

But today, it really happened in front of me, all of which came to Luo Sheng because of a name.

Some ordinary audience who participated in the conference for the first time at the scene were extremely excited. The conference has not yet begun. They looked around. People of all colors and skin colors from different countries and regions and different occupations came into view. Dress up.

The main stage ahead is the most dazzling, the most striking of which is the three super screens, which are huge in size, each of which is equivalent to a standard basketball court and a little bigger.

It is also extremely small for people to stand on the empty stage under the giant screen.

style!

Those who come for the first time just feel the value of the fare just by feeling the atmosphere of the scene. It is worth mentioning that the average entrance fee for this summit is 827 yuan / piece, and it is worth 17 million yuan here. Ticket income.

Compared with the Chinese people's emotional excitement, foreign media people can't stop amazing, even a bit sour, they can hardly imagine that this is China.

It should happen only in the developed European and American land. This kind of science and technology event should not appear in a developing country.

In fact, China ’s coastal areas today are not much weaker than developed countries in Europe and the United States.

...

At 9.30 minutes, when there were hot men on the three super-large screens, the scene of the conference was full of joy. The spectacular scenes can only be felt when they came to the scene.

Fans need not say, even many people in the capital circle don't hesitate to cheer and applause, because Luo Sheng brought them a lot of income, and many VCs in the field are shareholders of Shengfeng Capital. Its private equity funds have paid a lot of money to take care of Shengfeng Capital.

"Good morning, everyone is welcome to join us. The number of participants in this year's venture capital summit is the highest in the history, and it has exceeded 20,000 for the first time. It is unique in the world. Thank you for your support."

Luo Sheng took a steady step towards the midfield of the stage, and at the same time made a simple opening. It can only be said that the stage is a bit large, and after the opening remarks, he has not yet reached the midfield.

In his home court, Luo Sheng has always been wearing his standard IT big brother suit, and the outdoor weather for a few days is also quite warm.

"Some people say that the AI ​​fever has ebb, and I haven't spoken yet, you say ebb?"

As soon as this appeared, there was a burst of laughter. Many fanatics listened to it, and the fans who watched the live broadcast rushed their "domineering" messages.

I am afraid that only people in the industry will be so proud of Luo Sheng, but he does have this proud capital. The artificial intelligence technology of his company is currently leading the industry and is synonymous with top two words.

"2013 is destined to be an extraordinary year for the industry. This year is not only a year of the ebb of artificial intelligence, but also a wave of artificial intelligence technology and investment. It is even more turbulent than the previous wave. Well-known technology giants or start-ups will compete to tap the application potential of this technology in various fields. In this sprint race that may only last for several years, players from different fields will be on different tracks. Race to chase, this artificial intelligence race, ebb tide is only an illusion, in fact, just started. "

The same words are spoken in the mouths of different people, the meaning is completely different, and the influence is also completely different.

This remarks from Luo Sheng's mouth will undoubtedly boost the spirit of practitioners and investors in the field of artificial intelligence. Even the top technology leaders in the field have said so firmly, which shows that the future of this field is promising. Countless.

Whose words can be more authoritative than Luo Sheng?

Just when Luo Sheng said this, the A-share GEM said that the concept of artificial intelligence stocks rose sharply. The stock market had been open for more than ten minutes. In the past ten minutes, the artificial intelligence concept stock was originally All the way down.

As a result, Luo Sheng's one sentence directly rebounded and strengthened from the bottom. It really can be said that the phrase "industry weathervane, economic barometer" has been interpreted to the extreme.

The market's superstition for Luo Sheng is almost blind.

However, Luo Sheng did not know about A shares, and saw him continue to say, "What did Shengfeng Capital have done in the whole year of 2012? We invested a total of 18.9 billion US dollars, or about 118.5 billion yuan. "We have invested in 278 start-up technology companies around the world, covering many popular areas such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing services, and IoT chips."

Entrepreneurs on the market heard these words and were all envious of those 278 startups. This is equivalent to each startup getting a US $ 67.98 million investment in Shengfeng Capital last year, or about 4.2 yuan.

Called inhumane.

However, everyone is not surprised. Not to mention last year, let's talk about this quarter this year. Bluestar Technology's manual investment is hundreds of millions of dollars of investment. Ten million dollars of investment is the basic operation.

Can riches really do whatever they want?

A special reporter from the domestic media whispered to his partner with emotion: "I can finally understand why last year's Blue Star Technology lost a large share of the business market of developed countries ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Technology under the leadership of Luo Sheng The empire's territory is expanding at a terrifying rate. "

Despite this, today's venture capital summit scene, looking at foreign faces everywhere.

Obviously, this does not prevent the cross-border exchange of capital. Capital has no national boundaries. Wherever they can bring profits, they will go there. At the same time, entrepreneurs are the same. They need money. Whoever invests in it will go there. .

"Today, I plan to select 12 start-up companies that are representative of this year's technology theme among 278 start-up companies, to introduce what we have done. Since the establishment of Shengfeng Capital, there have been more than 2,730 companies. With these companies, we have laid out our own unique technology moat. These 12 startups are also to further improve the business ecology of the two major groups, the Blue Coast and Bluestar Technology. "

"For example, in the field of artificial intelligence, Shengfeng Capital not only invests in upstream companies that specialize in algorithm research, but also lays out downstream artificial intelligence solution providers. The investment in cloud computing services and chips occupies extremely The large proportion, especially in the field of chips, all demonstrate the determination of Blue Star Technology and the French Riviera to build a technology moat in the digital age.
