Global Monopoly of Technology

After these 12 companies were exposed at this summit, they have indeed become the darlings of capital and rising stars in the industry. Many VC institutions have quietly begun to pay attention to these 12 companies and further evaluate their investment value.

Even those Silicon Valley tech giants have paid attention to this. Although these 12 companies are in the start-up stage, their fields are currently hot fields, and they represent a trend and future.

The strategic investment departments of technology giants such as Microsoft and Google are also tempted to invest a sum of money to take a pit and secure a bottom line. In the future, if they do not stand out in the fierce competition, they will not be completely out of the game.

Well, if you find that you can't beat you, then join you, you may win, but I don't lose.

In technical terms this is... hedging.

On the main stage of the summit, Luo Sheng walked back and forth and said calmly and confidently: "The future is driven by digital. Looking at the investment direction of Shengfeng Capital in recent years, it is not difficult for you to find that artificial intelligence has become our most concerned area. This is also reflected in the product lines of Côte d'Azur and Bluestar Technology, whether it is Côte d'Azur's 'Blue Core' series processors in hardware, or Bluestar's open source deep learning framework in software, We have chosen R\u0026D + investment to take the path of diversified development."

"We believe that different AI tasks require different computing power, so we must provide a variety of software and hardware co-optimization solutions with different characteristics in order to improve our customers' experience in a targeted manner."

Having said this, Luo Sheng on the stage stopped and lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then raised his eyes to the audience off the field: "Now, Shengfeng Capital has developed the habit of investing in at least 170 start-up technology companies every year. , the investment amount basically remains between 100 million US dollars every year, and the total investment of Shengfeng Capital in the 12 start-ups introduced above exceeded 2.7 billion US dollars last year."

Many practitioners in the field looked at it, which means that each of these 12 companies received an average investment of 225 million US dollars from Shengfeng Capital, and also obtained orders from super customers such as Azure Coast and Bluestar Technology. Both capital and business support to support its rapid growth.

In contrast, other entrepreneurs break their legs either for financing or for business. The final harvest of their desperate storytelling is mostly the shakes of their heads and denials from investors and customers.

Simply envious of the rhythm of jealousy and hate.

Luo Sheng: "...We have reason to believe that with the investment and blessing of these cutting-edge technologies, we will soon be able to blossom and bear fruit in many technical fields such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing services, and Internet of Things devices, and further improve our own ecology. layout, and build a perfect technical moat, we look forward to everyone's participation.

"

The opening speech, which lasted for nearly half an hour, was over, and there was a burst of warm applause from the audience. The speech was not long, and it can be said that this opening speech was Luo Sheng showing off.

But also full of goodies.

Next, the founders of 12 companies, including Lingqueyun, stepped onto the main stage of the summit, each with 5 to 8 minutes to further describe their respective careers and stories.

For industry insiders and VCs, it seems that they have found the direction of struggle and the focus of investment.

What Luo Sheng is doing, just follow and invest.

After that is the exhibition conference. Shengfeng Capital provides venues and platforms to connect the major entrepreneurial teams who come to participate. They will show what they are doing at the three-day summit.

This year's venture capital summit has attracted more than 800 entrepreneurial teams in the technology field to participate, and the purpose is also very clear.

Sell ​​your product, sell your story, impress investors, and get angel round financing.

There are also a lot of VCs who came to the scene today, not to mention the host Shengfeng Capital. Well-known VC institutions such as SoftBank, Goldman Sachs, and Sequoia Capital are also listed.

In addition to attracting the attention of investors, there are still many teams hoping to win the favor of customers and build their reputation.

After all, the influence of Shengfeng Capital's venture capital summit is increasing day by day. For example, Luo Sheng personally appeared on the platform for the 12 start-ups today, and overnight became the darling of the industry and capital, and a rising star.

However, the most excited people are the melon eaters, especially those who participate in this kind of event for the first time. There is freshness everywhere, and they can touch some technological products or popular cutting-edge concepts that cannot be touched in daily life here.

Although they all come to see the world with the mentality of eating melons, there is no doubt that it will benefit them a lot. At least they may not see it in the short term, but in the long run, at least they can broaden their horizons and cognition. It is also of great help to self-improvement. It is better to spend hundreds of thousands of tickets to see cutting-edge technology than to go to a concert to improve self-improvement.

Almost 99% of the melon eaters who came to the scene were Luo Sheng's die-hard fans. The fans forcibly named him the title of "Archbishop of Science and Technology", and claimed to be followers of the Archbishop. Luo Sheng never came out to deny or confirm, Anyway, after so many years, everyone started out for fun, and now they have become accustomed to it.

...

Nowadays, the grand event in front of the stage is going on and on. As time goes by, there are rumors that there are entrepreneurial teams who are favored by VCs on the scene and get financing. All kinds of media reporters who come to the scene also put the news here. The news keeps spreading, and there are also a large number of technology UP masters in the people who eat melons to record videos on the spot, both domestic and foreign.

The on-site summit is getting hotter and hotter.

However, Luo Sheng has retreated to the backstage. After the opening speech, he did not appear in the public eye very much, nor did he accept any media interviews.

In an office in the background, Luo Sheng and Meng Qiu, the general manager of Shengfeng Capital, are here.

"Last year's investment projects were generally very good. I have already had a general understanding of the companies that have invested, and more than one-third are high-quality investment projects with broad prospects."

Meng Qiu smiled humbly when he heard Luo Sheng's outspoken performance, but he didn't say anything like "what's your duty, what's your duty". In the face of praise and humiliation, Luo Sheng appreciated it even more.

One-third of the invested companies have a lot of room for imagination. This is a very good result. Not to mention that all of the companies in this third will eventually achieve results, even if 10% of them will eventually stand out. The money invested last year will be able to earn back all the capital and profit, and achieve the strategic goal of building a technical moat.

Even taking a step back, as long as the 12 high-profile companies just exposed can succeed, even if the more than 100 start-ups behind them fail, it will be a great success for Shengfeng Capital.

After all, Luo Sheng's investment is not in a specific company, but in the entire track. It really doesn't matter who is competing on the track.

"Mr. Luo, we have noticed that Intel has continued to increase investment since November last year, and it has been making frequent moves since this year. It has launched frequent acquisitions around the world. During this period, Shengfeng Capital also had a direct relationship with Intel. Collision." Meng Qiu immediately talked about some important things in the recent period and verbally reported to Luo Sheng.

But after a while, Meng Qiu added: "Intel's various performances in the past few months seem to be quite anxious to me, and seems to have encountered some serious trouble, and from the stock market, Intel's current market value is only The $104.1 billion has been falling for the past six months, and I am afraid it will fall below the $100 billion mark soon.”

Hearing this, Luo Sheng couldn't help laughing and said: "Intel, the technology giant that was once invincible in the era of personal computers, has lost extremely badly in the era of mobile chips in the past five years, compared to Qualcomm, which is now thriving, and facing the Cote d'Azur, etc. The competition of emerging giants must also be constantly thinking about how to restore the glory of the past today, and it is not surprising that there have been frequent actions recently."

It's not surprising that Luo Sheng had a collision with Intel. After all, he had already begun to deploy the Cell chip business a few years ago, intending to spy on the hinterland of Intel's kingdom, kick the toothpaste factory's x86 architecture off the throne, and end Its dominance, to achieve the goal of the new king ascending the throne.

However, an old international manufacturer like Intel does not say that it can be overturned, and the other party is also making progress and developing.

Luo Sheng looked at Meng Qiu and asked, "By the way, you just said that there was a collision between Shengfeng Capital and Intel. In which field are they fighting?"
