Chapter 484: A Crucial Step in Determining the Future (Page 1/1)

At the bottom of this roadmap, a detailed investment timeline and expected investment amount are prominently listed.

"Wow, so detailed. Li Feng, you are in Huaxia, how can you know so much about the American market?" Jin Wenyan looked at the detailed information listed by Li Feng and exclaimed.

For an ordinary investor, in order to collect such detailed information, it is impossible to rely on one person alone, either hire a market research team to conduct a period of in-depth investigation, or find a professional investment consulting company and spend millions of dollars to buy a top consulting report.

These are all unrealistic for Vanguard fund companies, so if you want to understand the information, you must run the market yourself.

However, Li Feng is far away in China, but he can analyze the situation in the American market so thoroughly, and list the investment plan in detail, not to mention whether this roadmap is accurate, this alone is enough to stand out in the world.

Lin Yuting took the information and looked at it carefully, Li Feng's analysis of each of these subdivisions and his judgment on each company were reasonable, not like a casual pat on the head, and he also felt incredible, he was in the world's top business school, and the amount of information he was exposed to every day was very large, but he couldn't understand one-tenth of the content of Li Feng's information. How did Li Feng, this kid, know so much market intelligence?

Now Jin Wenyan and Lin Yuting understand why Li Feng is so sure in the face of Fred's provocation.

His plan was so well laid out that he even had a second option ready in case of a problem, and as long as he followed this route, it would not be a problem at all to win the bet against Fred. And once he wins this bet, Fred's $10 million fund will be pocketed by Vanguard Fund, and the size of the company will be doubled in an instant.

Therefore, Li Feng needs a gamble like Fred to complete the early primitive accumulation of capital, even if Fred's bet is 100 million, Li Feng will still fight.

"This information must be kept confidential, and no one except the three of us should know about it. Li Feng said, "In the next time, we will implement this plan one by one, and there will not be too many problems." ”

2003 was a period of rapid growth for the Internet industry in the United States, during which a number of high-quality companies emerged, affecting the entire American and even global Internet market. This wave of market dividends has also achieved a large number of classic investment cases, which Li Feng was familiar with when he was a professional investor.

Now is the time to become one of these cases, as long as he follows the practices of those investors back then, Li Feng can effortlessly replicate those investment miracles.

"Li Feng, in your roadmap, the first step to invest in is an investment platform called Ark. Lin Yuting asked, "Since we are also engaged in investment ourselves, why should we invest in other people's things, can't we just do it ourselves?"

The Ark Internet investment platform, which later became famous as the "Ark Company", was only established in the second half of 2002, and at present it is just a small workshop, a few computers, a few college students, completely inconspicuous, and even its own signboard has not been hung out. Therefore, even if Jin Wenyan and Lin Yuting often come to Silicon Valley, they don't know that there is such an investment platform in the market.

Ark is different from general investment fund companies, its business model is more open, all on the Internet, all project founders can raise funds publicly through their platform, and all investors also learn about entrepreneurial projects through this website and implement remote investment. The Ark Company takes a certain percentage of the handling fee for each successful financing.

This investment model is very different from the traditional venture capital, the traditional way must be met by both parties, detailed negotiations, although face-to-face interaction for each other's understanding, increase the success rate of the transaction has great benefits, but its disadvantage is too time-consuming, and the most valuable thing in the Internet industry is time.

If you look for projects one by one online, and then conduct detailed negotiations, it often takes investors a few days to spend a project, so you can't invest in several projects in a month.

And one month is enough to make the valuation of some potential projects jump several times or even dozens of times.

Sometimes, the valuation of Internet companies is measured in "hours", and it is common for an Internet company in a period of rapid growth to be invalidated in the next hour and increase by 20% to 30%.

Under the pressure of such a huge time cost, investors must make investment decisions quickly, if they can't make decisive decisions, even if they only hesitate for a few hours, they may miss some potential projects, which makes online financing a non-face-to-face online investment method possible.

It was in this context that Ark came into being, and in the next few years, it has grown rapidly and become the world's top venture financing platform company.

Therefore, as long as you control the Ark Company, it is equivalent to controlling the world's most potential entrepreneurial projects, and the Pioneer Fund, as an investor, can use the advantages of the Ark Company's Internet platform to make its investment methods more flexible and diverse, which is why Li Feng will take it as the first investment project in the future.

After the Ark company gradually grows bigger, it also participates in part of the investment, because its platform gathers more and more entrepreneurial project resources, so that the investment cost of the Ark company is getting lower and lower, and it only takes a few years of hard work to grow into a super investment fund company.

Therefore, at the beginning of its business, when it is not strong enough, it should enter the market as soon as possible, gradually control its operation direction, and gradually evolve it into the most powerful tentacle in the investment operation of the pioneer fund company, so that the pioneer fund company is equivalent to having its own Internet platform, which is much easier and better than operating a new platform by itself.

Li Feng said his thoughts again: "This company is still very small, the operation experience is also insufficient, and it urgently needs a lot of money for infrastructure investment, this is a good time for us to take a stake." Becoming a shareholder of them is much better and more affordable than if we were to run it ourselves. The resources on the Internet financing platform of the future ark company are our resources, which is very beneficial for us to improve investment efficiency and reduce the company's operating costs, so this step is extremely critical and is the starting point of all future work, remember to remember. ”
