Chapter 360 Investment Plans
"To be honest, I'm not too optimistic about smart logistics, especially in China. Edward said, "You know, the infrastructure in China is still very backward, with the current backward infrastructure, to achieve the on-time delivery of express delivery, the conditions are not sufficient." In other words, no matter how advanced the logistics model is, as long as the infrastructure is not established, everything is empty talk. ”
Edward's words are not unreasonable, after all, in 2002, China's economy has just taken off, although the economic growth rate is very high, but the overall volume is not large, and there is not enough money for a large number of infrastructure construction.
With the current infrastructure, it is impossible to support an advanced logistics system, for a simple example, even if the most advanced express car is used, but there is no road, the car still can't run, can only stare dryly.
There were many people in the hall who agreed with Edward's view, which is also their understanding of an emerging market country, but they did not know that in the next ten years, the economic development of the whole of China will be rapid and rapidly, and it will quickly become a major country in the world second only to the United States.
"Okay. Luo Juncai nodded lightly, after all, Edward is the number two person in the Global Mall, and as his subordinate, he can only execute according to his will.
However, Luo Juncai has a more comprehensive and sober understanding of Huaxia, although Edward's view is basically correct from the current situation, but he does not see the real terrible power of Huaxia, that is, the huge development potential.
Since the beginning of the new century, Huaxia has continued to maintain this double-digit economic growth, and according to the current development speed, if Huaxia's e-commerce ecological chain cannot be built in time, the advantages of the global mall cannot be maintained for too long.
Unless Baibao.com is completely defeated by the e-commerce war since then, as long as they are left with a chance to breathe, there is always the possibility of a turnaround.
Thinking of this, Luo Juncai felt that he had to report the situation to the president of the company, that is, his superior, Leoper, although this behavior was a bit overstepping, but for the development of the Chinese branch, it was necessary for Leoper to realize the real difficulties and priorities.
After the meeting, Luo Juncai returned to his office, turned on his computer, and sent an email to President Leo Porter.
......
The United States has entered a hot summer, and in Silicon Valley, a heat wave has hit, making Jin Wenyan, who shuttles through major Internet companies, sweat.
Jin Wenyan bought a bottle of Coke at a convenience store on the street, drank a few sips, looked at the emerging Internet companies on the list, and the current task was only half completed, and among the companies he visited, the vast majority of them had no financing intentions, even if a small number of them had financing intentions, but seeing the thin background of Dream Company, he was not very interested.
This made Jin Wenyan's work repeatedly frustrated, standing on the street at more than 30 degrees, Jin Wenyan wiped the sweat that kept coming out of his forehead, and couldn't help sighing.
The investment market in Silicon Valley is much more mature than in China, and the number and scale of venture capital fund companies far exceed that of China.
Therefore, in Silicon Valley, it takes a lot of vision and patience to obtain an early stake in a start-up Internet company at a lower price, which is very different from the domestic Internet industry.
In China, the power of capital is relatively stronger and occupies more right to speak. And in Silicon Valley, the power of technology prevails.
Therefore, once a technical Internet company with certain potential emerges, there will be a large number of venture capital companies flocking to the company with money.
This is undoubtedly a great thing for Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, which allows them to have more say in the early financing process without being at the mercy of capital. But for those venture capital firms, it's much more difficult.
Jin Wenyan feels that it is always not a way to find a needle in a haystack like this, and it is necessary to find a breakthrough and continue to attack, so that it is possible to find investment opportunities.
Looking at the investment list given to him by Li Feng, this list is very detailed, not only listing the basic information of each potential growth company, but also dividing specific industries, and there are three or four sentences of comments on the future development potential of each industry.
And these reviews are very concise, so that people can see at a glance what the potential of this industry is.
The fierce sunlight made people unable to open their eyes, Jin Wenyan had only been running for a morning, and he was already feeling very tired, and if he continued to run like this, the efficiency would become lower and lower, and it seemed that he had to adjust his strategy and find an effective way.
He drove his broken car and found a simple coffee shop on the corner, sat down in the store, ordered a cup of bitter coffee, and began to ponder the list that Li Feng had given him.
While looking at this list, Kim Wenyan pondered the growth potential of various industries.
At the moment, Dream has assets of only $1 million, which can be said to be very limited, and it is necessary to find a suitable and small investment opportunity.
As a result, many of these industries were kicked out one by one, and after eliminating some unrealistic investment directions, Jin Wenyan began to look for the most likely Internet companies, and the scale of the list began to shrink.
After about an hour, the investment target was finally narrowed down to three or four companies. At this time, Jin Wenyan saw a more suitable Internet innovation company.
This is a new type of company engaged in the research and development of intelligent logistics equipment, Intelligent core, intelligent core company, which not only carries the gene of the Internet. And it has a deep fit with the field of industrial automation.
Such a company is different from traditional Internet companies because it can engage in physical manufacturing, create actual products, and provide actual services. Therefore, the risk of investment is much smaller.
Thinking of this, Jin Wenyan immediately logged on to the company's official website and began to learn more about the company's basic situation.
From the information displayed on the official website, it can be seen that this company was established in April 2002, which means that it was only established for three months, and it belongs to a start-up small and micro company.
Jin Wenyan knew that Li Feng was a director of Baibao.com, a domestic e-commerce company, and Baibao.com, an Internet company engaged in e-commerce.
This also means that it has a huge demand for the field of intelligent equipment, and the research and development of intelligent equipment is a new direction of the current scientific and technological development, even in Silicon Valley, which is at the forefront of science and technology, there has not yet been an influential large-scale intelligent equipment research and development company.
If we can intervene at an early stage, obtain a certain stake in it, and introduce it into the Chinese market, then there will be huge development potential in the future.
Thinking of this, Jin Wenyan felt that this plan was a pity.
