The buffet restaurant of the Mangrove Hotel is very luxuriously decorated, the classic combination of black and white is vividly displayed here, the main tone of the white ground makes people feel like walking in the clouds, and the black ceiling is dotted with a white and yellow ceiling lamp, making people feel that they are under a gorgeous starry sky.

This design style is rare in China, extremely chic and full of charm. Here, not only is the decoration luxurious and elegant, but you can also enjoy the top cuisine from all over the world, including mountain delicacies and seafood, and you can eat in unlimited quantities. There are also live cooking performances by various top international chefs, making the meal more interesting.

Of course, it's not just for food, it's because it's a hub for venture capitalists, and you might be able to make a deal that would have taken a long time to conclude during that meal.

When the three of them came to the restaurant, they saw that the huge restaurant was already bustling, and this large restaurant, which can accommodate 400 people at the same time, was almost full, and most of them were investors from all over the world.

During this vacation, most of them come here to travel and inspect the situation of Silicon Valley startups by the way, so as to plan for investment in the coming year.

As we all know, Silicon Valley, as a place where global Internet entrepreneurship is active, is also the place with the highest investment value, as long as you can take root here and slowly operate investment projects, even if the probability of failure is very high, as long as there is a project successful, it is dozens of times or even hundreds of times the growth, far exceeding the loss of investment failed projects.

Therefore, capital from all over the world is also flocking to it, and they have set their sights on Internet startups in Silicon Valley.

Internet projects in the early stage is extremely in need of funds, in the absence of accumulation of a large number of customers, entrepreneurs can not open their own business model, profitability is very weak, must be through a large amount of money burning, promote their own Internet products, only when the number of users reaches a sufficient scale, in order to reflect the real profitability of the project.

But this process is extremely difficult, just like the growth of a tadpole into a frog, the difficulty is quite large, in the process of growth, a considerable number of tadpoles will slowly die, and only a very few lucky people will survive to a scale that can achieve financial balance.

This is true in China, and even more so in the American market, and in terms of fierce competition, the current American market is several times or even dozens of times more fierce than China.

After all, there are not only some venture capital institutions here, but also a lot of investors haunted, some little-known projects, it is very difficult to wait until they take the initiative to find the door, only by taking the initiative to promote their own projects, can the capital in the market be discovered.

"Hey, there seem to be more people today than usual, and there are so many new faces. Jin Wenyan looked around and said.

"There is a large-scale investment conference here today, which was organized by Dayang Fund Company, and many investors and entrepreneurs were invited to attend, so it was a lot more lively. Lin Yuting said.

Li Feng didn't know much about the Ocean Fund, and asked, "Do you know the situation of the Ocean Fund?"

"Ocean Fund is not a large fund, the size is about $2 billion, and it is at the level of the middle and lower reaches of the US venture capital market. Jin Wenyan said, "During this time, Dayang Fund has fully turned to Internet investment, and about 50% of its total assets will be allocated to Internet assets. At present, it seems that the momentum is not bad, and the profitability of the fund is relatively strong. Moreover, the current boss of Ocean Fund is also a young talent, named Fred, less than thirty years old, who can be said to be a dark horse in the American venture capital market, and has a great reputation in the market. ”

"You see, that tall, skinny guy in a gray suit looks like Fred, and I've seen interviews with him on the news before. Lin Yuting pointed not far away.

Li Feng had heard of Fred's name, but it was ten years later.

By around 2012, Fred had become very famous in the investment circle, sitting on a large venture capital fund with a scale of more than $50 billion, and several successful investments in the Internet field were regarded as typical lesson plans, and Li Feng had studied. In particular, the classic case of his investment in cloud computing operator Pegasus shook the entire industry, but that was ten years later.

More than a decade later, he is widely regarded by the industry as a super forward-looking investment master, and his personal wealth has soared to nearly 10 billion US dollars, becoming a legend on the rich side and adored by people in the investment community around the world.

Of course, this man is also the traditional character of the American, who prefers to engage in personal heroism, and is self-centered, and the companies and individuals with whom he cooperates are often not particularly pleasant.

Li Feng looked carefully in the direction pointed by Lin Yuting, the current Fred is still an authentic little fresh meat, full of one meter eighty-five tall, tall and thin, making the suit on his body look a little ill-fitting, his face is white and clean, with a pair of decent black-rimmed eyes, which is very different from the appearance of gaining weight more than ten years later.

Just when Li Feng looked at him, Fred seemed to notice Li Feng as well, so he walked over with the food he had chosen: "Hey, brother, I seem to have seen you somewhere." By the way, the Global Economic Leaders Forum, you're Mr. Li from China, right?"

Fred has an amazing memory, and there are rumors in the industry that he never forgets.

Although Fred only attended some less important discussions as an outfield guest at the Global Economic Leaders Forum, he remembers Li Feng, who dominated the topic at the forum and even had an impact on global Internet investment theory.

It can even be said that many of Fred's current investment ideas have been influenced by Li Feng.

"Yes, may I ask who you are?" Li Feng didn't want to be smart, so he asked politely.

Fred stretched out his big hand: "Hello, I'm Fred of Ocean Fund. ”

The two shook hands, Fred, this kid looked like a chicken thief, and he used a lot of strength when shaking hands, which made Li Feng feel pain for a while, what does this kid mean?
