Chapter 508： [Can't beat you, join you (2

Different from Shengfeng Capital's previous technology venture capital summit, this year's people are paying too much attention. Silicon Valley technology giants such as Microsoft, Apple, Google, Nvidia, Intel, IBM, and Qualcomm are all observing in secret. .

Bluestar Technology and the French Riviera two technology groups, and these Silicon Valley's long-known technology giants are competing with each other, some compete in core areas such as cloud computing, consumer terminals, and some are crazy outside the border Tentative.

Wall Street is no exception.

Although the main group of the VC Summit is mainly from the technology circle, the name of this summit is called the VC Summit. How can the VC venture be absent?

And Wall Street is the most powerful spokesperson for capital.

It's just that technology shines in front of the stage, and the support behind the scenes must be capital. There is no capital to set up the stage.

At this moment, on the big stage at the summit scene, the three giant screens were originally shot for Luo Sheng. After he pressed the small remote control in his hand, the screen of the giant screen showed a video.

It was a picture of the interconnection of virtual network nodes with a sense of future technology, and then jumped to another picture.

Luo Sheng's voice also rang through the audience:

"First of all, let's take a look at the field of cloud computing services. Of the 12 startups we invested in, 4 are focused on this field, respectively, from CloudGenix in North America, VenueNext in England, and Ling Ling Cloud in China. And Changxin Information Technology Company. "

Under Luo Sheng's control, the giant screen screen turned to a trademark called CloudGenix and a recording screen of some engineers in the company's R & D department working in the laboratory.

"The CloudGenix company established in February last year has a main business of providing new network architecture services, that is, a 'software-defined wide area network', as the name implies, by intelligently controlling the software to reasonably plan bandwidth and achieve the lowest network connection A more efficient virtual private network in public networks around the world. "

"Given the current cost of laying a private network in the true sense is still very high, and most large multinational companies need to connect their data centers to their branches in various regions of the world, even medium-sized companies also need The secure private network is used for some remote business meetings, so the market prospects in this field are very imaginative, and I am optimistic. "

The industry insiders also seemed to understand that Bluestar Technology announced last year that it would lower its corporate profits independently and make a lot of money, so it will definitely find a way to find a lower cost solution to make up for those lost profits.

Since last year's war of science and technology, many companies have continued to benefit today, further reducing the cost of IT investment. Originally, it was necessary to pay 30% more to obtain Bluestar technology solutions.

Luo Sheng: "VenueNext was established in May last year. Its core business is to provide cloud computing technology-based O2O services for various event venues. The company's software can currently provide audiences with online booking, on-site catering delivery, etc. Services, and can also provide venue operators with a variety of data analysis services based on audience behavior. "

Obviously, all kinds of sports events can access cloud services, and investors at the scene realized this, and this field definitely has great application prospects.

Luo Sheng has already started, but it is not too late to enter.

"The domestic Lingyun cloud technology company was established in February last year. The co-founder team of the company, including the CEO and CTO, all came from the core backbone employees of the Bluestar Technology Nebula StarCloud cloud platform. They went out and founded Lingyun Cloud. The company's main business is to provide enterprises with cloud services based on the concept of 'container cloud', and to optimize the customer's software operating environment in the cloud. Lingyun Cloud's future customers will be targeted at a variety of industries including finance, manufacturing, energy, aviation, and automobiles Field, a promising start-up technology company. "

After speaking on the stage, Luo Sheng couldn't help but lower his head and remained silent for a while, but for a moment he raised his hand and pressed the small remote control in his hand, and the screen of the giant screen changed again.

"Changxin Information Technology Co., Ltd. was established in January 2012. Its business is mainly focused on chip integration of IoT devices. The company mainly develops cost-effective Wi-Fi and Bluetooth dual-mode chips, which can be widely used in the future. Tablet PCs, cameras, wearables and smart homes, etc., and its development concept of software and hardware integration is exactly what I value and value. "

"By the way, the founder of Chang Xin went out of the Cote d'Azur laboratory. I am very happy and I look forward to his coming out of the new business. As his former boss, I will be proud. . "

At this moment, the founders of Lingyunyun and Changxin were at the conference site, and they were quite excited when they heard that their former bosses and idols had a real-name flop.

Well, in fact, they haven't communicated with Luo Sheng face to face. If it were not for this venture capital summit, Luo Sheng might not have known them.

After all, the total number of employees of the major companies under its umbrella has now gone to 600,000 to 700,000, and it is normal to not know it.

"Artificial intelligence. In the field of artificial intelligence, 5 of these 12 start-ups account for a variety of artificial intelligence segments ranging from algorithms to processors to solution integration."

"Among them, Avaamo is from Seattle and is mainly engaged in the development of language processing and speech synthesis algorithms. The neural network technology of its core research can enable people to talk with artificial intelligence and perform complex tasks. At present, the company's customer base has rapidly expanded to Finance, telecommunications, medical and many other fields. This is related to the birth of the founder Mono's previous marketing department. He joined the marketing department of Blue Star Technology in 2006 and has been promoted to vice president of North America in 2011. Customers It is also found in more than 100 countries and regions around the world. "

Are they executives coming out of your company?

Many of the attendees at the conference took a moment to think for a while, and they were relieved. Of the several companies under Luo Sheng, any of them were talented.

"Another Syntiant company was established in mid-June last year. In addition to developing neural network algorithms capable of autonomous decision-making, the company is also developing supporting AI processors suitable for miniaturized electrical products. The focus of R & D on technology is also more focused on the efficient operation of the chip in an ultra-low-power environment. "

"The remaining three companies, Fitiv, Gamalon and Ruiwei Technologies, are all committed to using artificial intelligence technology to provide customized solutions for enterprise customers in different fields."

"Fitiv's core business solution is reflected in the collaborative optimization of the customer workflow team. Team members can prototype the software, mark real-time prices and receive real-time feedback from the production department, thereby improving the iteration efficiency of the product. Star Technology, Cote d'Azur, Lans Semiconductors, and Core Electronics are all important customers for the company. "

Some IT practitioners off the field are simply envious.

As long as you reach Luo Sheng's thigh, it is equivalent to starting capital for business and giving business orders. It can take off under a set of internal circulation mechanisms.

Luo Sheng on the stage pressed the small remote control in his hand, and the picture of the founder appeared on the giant screen.

"Fitiv founder David Kress graduated from Stanford University with a degree in mechanical engineering. Before starting this startup, he worked on user big data analysis in the Bluestar Technology Innovation Workshop."

Ok……

It is your former employee who went out to start a business, and then went back to find his old owner to invest.

This has a great relationship with the "departmental company system" formulated by Bluestar Technology. Employees want to go out to fly alone? It doesn't matter, not only will the parent company not stop you, but it will also strongly support you and help you take off as soon as possible.

This "departmental company system" is also a popular model of many large groups. What I have to say is that Luo Sheng has always led this trend in the scientific and technological circles and business circles. Behind it are groups of imitators.

"Gamalon has launched a machine learning platform that can be used to intelligently analyze and process customer information. The company's artificial intelligence system can be used to build custom text, such as generating chat records, trouble tickets, etc., or even on its own Custom questionnaires. Can help companies quickly record customer needs and optimize product upgrades. "

"The founder, Ben Weida, received a Ph.D. in computer science from MIT, emmm ... before he started his business, he was a senior manager of the project on the French Riviera and was responsible for deep learning technology research."

Audiences:"……"

Your talent output is a bit excessive.

Luo Sheng calmly said with a bright smile: "Ruiwei Technology Co., Ltd., founded in China, focuses on the research of computer vision perception technology. Its core technology is a face recognition technology called RF, based on this technology. , The company's products are future-oriented security, smart home and other fields. Ruiwei founder Zhang Donghui joined the Azure Coast course of the senior project in 2005, and the opportunity to establish Ruiwei technology came from his I realized the powerful application potential of artificial intelligence technology in the field of video surveillance during customer service. I am very optimistic about Ruiwei's future. "

Many people in the industry can't help but take a deep breath to calm down their hearts. The company under Luo Sheng is too horrible. It supports the internal high-end talent output. This kind of speed and degree of sprouting ...

No wonder as long as people coming out of companies like Blue Star Technology or the French Riviera are in demand in the industry.

It really is a strong general without weak soldiers.

"Chip technology. This is the focus of Shengfeng Capital's investment. Of all the project investments, the investment in the chip field accounts for about 68%. In the field of cutting-edge chip technology research and development, Shengfeng Capital has also invested in these three chips. design company."

Luo Sheng looked back at the big screen to confirm the screen jump and continued to introduce: "Among them, Lynan Tehnologies was established in 2002. We are included in 12 companies because the company is the world's first Companies that study compact light source X-rays do not seem to be paying attention in the industry, but we think that this technology can be used to improve the chip processing technology, which can play a very important role in breaking the bottleneck of the current core chip manufacturing process of Xiongxin Electronics effect."

"In comparison, Movellus, which was established last year, is mainly engaged in the development of digital chip design programs. This program can improve the efficiency of the previous chip circuit design during chip processing, shorten the overall time required for chip design, and ultimately Achieving an improvement in yield. "The fastest computer update :: /

"SiFive, a startup founded in Russia last January, is committed to providing customizable chips based on the RISC-V open source instruction set design. As the name suggests, the company can design the most suitable products according to the needs of customers' products. Customized chip products, so compared with other types of chips, in terms of research and development costs and iteration efficiency, and maintain long-term stable cooperative relations with customer partners have a good advantage. "

...

These 12 companies were named and exposed at the investment summit of Luo Sheng, which is equivalent to an undesirable "gold-plating" move. To be sure, these 12 startups will become the darlings of capital after today. A shining star in the industry.

But people are even more amazed or even frightened that Luo Sheng's layout for the future, he has been placed in several "pawns" and achieved landing in almost all frontier areas with potential and even unclear. His technology empire's The boundary of the layout has been unknowingly extended to an extremely exaggerated degree.

At this moment, those Silicon Valley technology giants who are paying attention to this summit have been extremely irritated by Luo Sheng.

As for the people who eat melons, they are so addicted that under the personal guidance of the archbishop, they can peek into the future of the digital world. Such opportunities are rare.

"Mr. Meng, your 12 start-ups are obviously very promising for Mr. Luo, but are you exposed to show off badly?" An investor in the capital circle under the venue whispered to Meng Qiu who was sitting next to him. .

"Do you mean that President Luo has been attacked by Laomei recently? Afraid that these 12 startups are targeted?" Meng Qiu said in a private chat. He is the general manager of Shengfeng Capital. The personage is the manager of Shengfeng Capital, second only to Luo Sheng and Qin Weimu. In fact, it should be the second person, because Luo Sheng basically ignores Shengfeng Capital, and Meng Qiu is now a big brother in the capital circle. character.

Whoever is rich is the grandfather. Shengfeng Capital is super rich.

The VC nodded and bluntly said, "Yes, this is not to make it clear that he stretched his neck for the other to chop, shouldn't it be hidden?"

Meng Qiu looked at the young boss on the stage and replied with a smile: "General Manager Li, who has dual attributes, Shengfeng Capital itself has a 20% foreign investment ratio. Foreign public funds and sovereign funds have invested in Shengfeng. Capital, this time show 12 companies to show off ... "

Having said that, Meng Qiu retracted his gaze and stared at the right: "... now, these 12 start-ups, don't you want to invest in one to occupy a pit?"

As soon as this word came out, the other party could not help but stumble for a while.

Immediately I realized, clapping my legs and suddenly whispering: "So it is, so it is, my pattern and cognition boundary are lower by a level, and Mr. Luo is indeed a rare super layout player. He has accidentally played chess. Vaguely falling. "

"Just say a word, if you can't beat you, I will join you. This move of Luo is to give them a reason to join and indicate how to join." Meng Qiu said with a smile. He is indeed the young boss of Luo Sheng. Admiration from the heart.

The so-called "they" are actually the people at Goldman Sachs, Wall Street Capital.

Obviously, Luo Sheng's move has a deeper meaning and layout. Bluestar Technology now has little Wall Street interest in it. After the trouble last year, Wall Street's overall shareholding in Bluestar Technology Group has been less than 20%. .

But come back ~ www.novelhall.com ~ There are no eternal enemies in this world, some are just eternal interests.

This time the covenant broke down, so as not to be the next re-alignment?

This time Luo Sheng took the initiative to expose these 12 start-ups and showed them in front of the world, which meant that they were eyeed by the capital circle and paid attention to by Wall Street. Then subsequent financing will have other Wall Street VCs entering the pit.

This is equivalent to indirectly bundling the interests of both parties together, and also serves as a bridge to ease the relationship in the future. The boat of friendship comes from the beginning ...

Everything has two sides, and different perspectives will lead to different results.

Luo Sheng knows Wall Street's face, but he is not afraid to deal with it. Besides, he still has a hand. The 12 start-ups are not all from abroad. The companies such as Ruiwei, Lingbiyun, and Changxin are domestic. The investment strength That's twice as much as several other foreign startups.

Grasping with both hands, this is the correct way to open the technical moat.
