The intelligent core company is located on the edge of Silicon Valley and is still unknown, so Jin Wenyan admires Li Feng very much, and he doesn't know how he knows about this company.

Indeed, after more than ten years, the intelligent core company has grown into the world's leading intelligent logistics company, its products are all over the world, and almost all logistics companies in the world have business dealings, whether in the field of logistics hardware or software, it is a giant level existence.

Even more than ten years later, the intelligent core company has become a leader in the field of unmanned driving, and the driverless trucks it launched are about to occupy a new field of logistics in the future and become the real hegemon of the global logistics industry.

It can be said that the growth of intelligent core companies is inseparable from the rapid take-off of global material trade, and more than ten years later, the market value of intelligent core companies as a listed company in the United States has exceeded 150 billion US dollars.

Founded in a garage in 2002, Wolfe, a mechanic enthusiast and mechanic who, after graduating from college, co-founded the company with his good friend, Williams, a coding expert.

At the very beginning of its existence, the company defined its R&D direction, specializing in the field of logistics automation.

In this field, the main business is to provide more cost-effective solutions for express delivery companies, and their first research and development project is a small intelligent sorting center.

In 2002, the degree of intelligence in the field of express delivery was still very low, and the sorting completely relied on manual work, which was not only inefficient, but also very uneconomical, and more likely to cause man-made damage to the parcel in the sorting process.

Therefore, solving the problem of intelligent sorting of parcels is a basic problem in the field of logistics automation.

Wolf saw an opportunity in this area and co-founded Smart Core with his friend Williams, aiming to provide a complete set of solutions for express delivery companies.

The company didn't have much influence at the beginning, due to the lack of start-up funds and the slow R&D process, the launch of the first product was two months after its establishment.

In other words, the current intelligent core company has just developed its first product.

However, as soon as this product came out, it did attract the attention of many express delivery companies, including a small express delivery company willing to cooperate with the intelligent core company, so there was the company's first project, that is, the company's first sorting line and the main intelligent sorting center.

With the arrival of the first advance payment, the company finally had some cash flow, so it moved the company out of the dilapidated garage and rented a cheap office and warehouse in a more remote location on the outskirts of Silicon Valley to start their R&D journey.

The research and development of intelligent assembly lines is not a simple matter, which not only requires a lot of technical knowledge, but also requires an accurate understanding of the operation process of the express delivery industry.

Therefore, in order to successfully develop an intelligent assembly line, the two founders spent almost no day and night on the front line of research and development.

And the company's financial situation is still not optimistic. After all, relying only on two founders, the efficiency of R&D is far from enough, and there must be a team of about five people to carry out division of labor and cooperation.

Therefore, about a month after the establishment of the company, three partners have joined the shares, making the company's founding team reach five.

As the company has more staff, the more expenses it has.

Even with the first advance payment, the smart core company can only maintain the basic expenses on a day-to-day basis. If you want to further expand R&D expenses, you have to think of other financing options.

For an ignorant tech nerd like Wolfe, there are actually some entanglements. After all, they now have five partners, and in terms of equity allocation, Wolf holds 35% of the shares, which is the largest shareholder of the company, and the shares of the rest of the founders are about 15%-20% on average.

If further financing is required, then the founder Wolff's stake will be further diluted, possibly to less than 30% or even 25%, so it is very difficult to grasp the proportion of financing.

In the afternoon, the five founders of the intelligent core company were meeting to discuss the next countermeasures.

At this moment, a Chineseman with black hair and yellow skin knocked on the door of the company.

......

The leisurely life at home during the summer vacation made Li Feng feel a little uncomfortable, and now his business is on the right track, and all the work has found a right-hand man, which greatly shortens his time for hard work, and can have a lot of time to think about future strategic issues.

After making an in-depth and detailed plan for future development at home, Li Feng has a more comprehensive and clear understanding of his entrepreneurial blueprint.

The essence of entrepreneurship is not only to create a successful company, the creation of a company is only the beginning of the entrepreneur, and building a complete industrial chain is the subsequent upgrade step.

Only by forming a complete closed loop in the entire entrepreneurial process can we maximize the integration of resources in each link and form the highest profits.

Of course, this is only the middle of the pole.

For an entrepreneur with a dream, the highest level is to create a new energy level on this planet, and through this energy level, lead a major change in the global economic mode and life mode.

If this goal can be achieved, entrepreneurship is not only successful, but also great.

For such a goal, the work that Li Feng is doing so far is only at the stage of building a large foundation.

Even so, his entrepreneurship has entered the field of vision of global entrepreneurs, and even top international e-commerce companies such as Global Mall regard him as a major competitor.

It can be seen that every step of the future entrepreneurship will be very difficult.

Closing the notebook, Li Feng put on headphones, lying in his room and listening to music, although the pop music of this era sounds a little old-fashioned, it is still quite nostalgic.

At this moment, the mobile phone rang, and it was a text message from Zhou Shanshan: "Li Feng, my birthday party is scheduled for two o'clock in the afternoon on Sunday, at my Zifu Villa, you must come, see you or leave." ”

"Okay, it will be there. Li Feng picked up his phone and replied.

The Zhou family's Zifu Villa is located in the southern suburbs of Xianhu City, and has always been a banquet place for Zhou Haichao's business circle.

This villa is also one of the industries of the Zhou family, as the largest manufacturer of electronic products in Xianhu City, Zhou Haichao has a lot of business partners, and his own villa is a perennial reception of his business partners, it is said that it is basically not open to the public, only occasionally open.
