Chapter 150 Preparing for a Venture Capital Company

As the most developed capitalist market in the United States, there is no shortage of opportunities, every young person who wants to start a business has a dream in his heart, when Gates voluntarily dropped out of Harvard University to establish Microsoft Corporation, and became a billionaire after going public, this matter has become a good story, Gates himself has become the idol of young people, is the best footnote to the American dream.

Americans are like this, as long as they have an idea, they will do it, and all aspects are also supported, at least it is very easy to set up a company, unlike China, which requires the approval of every department.

This makes the U.S. market full of opportunities, and some wealthy people will actively need these opportunities, so investment institutions are formed.

There are many well-known venture capital institutions in the United States, such as Sequoia Capital, the most famous case of this company is to invest in Apple, as well as Cisco, etc., and will invest in Google in the future.

In addition, there is KPCB company, KPCB is the initials of the names of its four founders, in the nineties this company is only a little famous, not the top level in the industry, but ten years later it will be a bull, especially in the nineties Internet era, KPCB successfully invested in the sun, AOL, Compaq computer, Google, Yibei, Amazon and other high-tech companies.

Of course, these are all their success stories, and there are actually more cases of failure, but when they succeed, the media will not report on them.

The cash flow of Shengtang Company is too sufficient, and every year the company has to pay dividends in addition to the budget in all aspects, but in this way, the last remaining Shengtang executives still have two or three billion US dollars, and nearly one billion US dollars have been placed in Shengtang's account in a few years.

Theoretically, all this money is owned by Liu Lang, Lucas, Mu Xiaohu, Ye Jinsheng, Lin Guodong and other executives, but how much can they spend? It doesn't cost too much to buy a car and a house, that is, Mu Xiaohu has a lot of girlfriends, and it is enough to spend millions on a person, but he owns 10% of the shares, and he has nearly 100 million in his account.

Is it possible to put this money in the bank to receive interest? The bank interest rate in the United States is very low, much lower than inflation, and only a fool would put it in the bank.

You can also invest in the stock market, such as buying stocks of high-quality companies, Shengtang, Nike, Coca-Cola and VIE are the first choice, in fact, many employees of Shengtang have to buy their own company's shares again with most of their annual dividends, but the short-term yield of the stock market will not be too high, even if it is Shengtang Company, it has only increased by 50% in three years.

The rate of return of venture capital companies is very high, once the bet is successful, there can be several times or even more than ten times the income in the short term, for example, Sequoia Capital invested in Apple when it was listed, and it obtained dozens of times the income after listing, and it is very easy to go public in the United States, sometimes there is no need for products, as long as a concept can circle money in the market.

With so much money and a large number of contacts, Lucas and others have long had the idea of setting up a venture capital company, and they firmly believe that Liu Lang is an expert in this area.

Liu Lang doesn't seem to have anything, he majored in mechanical engineering, and when he graduated from graduate school, he got all the grades A+, and even gave up the requirements of Stanford University for a direct doctorate, making Professor Claire, who is known for being strict with his students, very depressed.

No one knows what the strength of Liu Lang's major course is, but the economic book "The Third Industrial Wave" written by him has been ranked first on the best-selling list of economic books in Time Magazine for four consecutive years, selling more than 3 million copies in total.

It's not enough that economic books are selling so hot, three years ago, Liu Lang's "Digital Survival" began to become popular in the past two years after a year of no one's interest, including Wan An, Jobs, Gates and other bigwigs, almost all IT high-end people have mentioned this book on different occasions, of course, just mentioning this book is nothing, and many of the predictions in the book have begun to come true one by one.

Last year, the United States took the lead in building a regional network in a small area, which is called the prototype of the Internet, and even at the beginning of this year, the United States that uses the regional network was attacked by hackers, which made the United States very unhappy.

Local area networks, hacker attacks, these are all mentioned in the book "Digital Survival".

So now, this book has become the bible of people who are engaged in the research of the Internet and artificial intelligence, even if the content written in the book seems unattainable under today's technology, they firmly believe that the predictions in the book will come true, and the content written in the book gives them the way forward.

The book has been full of popularity since last year, selling more than 100,000 copies in two years, and several universities such as Stanford have also listed this book as a college elective course, which has allowed more college students to understand what real high-tech is.

In fact, in China, "Digital Survival" has also been listed as a formal course by many universities, and it is larger than the United States in terms of the degree of promotion, but the domestic environment is much worse than that of the United States, and there are very few people who really understand the concept of the Internet, and many students cannot understand the meaning of the book.

This is what Liu Lang does in the United States in addition to entertainment, he majored in traditional mechanical engineering, wrote a best-selling book on economics and a best-selling book on high-tech, and there are no obstacles from tradition to the future. Is there anything he doesn't know? If such a person doesn't engage in venture capital, is there still a "royal law"?

In addition, Liu Lang also had the idea of setting up a venture capital company, and he will do it when he returns to the United States this time.

Liu Lang's first few days back in the United States were to discuss the company's development in the next three years with Lucas, Lin Guodong and others, and to make a "The Lion King" in terms of films, more than 100 color pictures constitute the revenge and growth of a little lion named Simba.

Cattermor and Lucas looked at these pictures and were only amazed and speechless, not to mention the storyline, it is this beautiful picture that makes people love it.

These pictures are all drawn by Liu Lang in his usual work, which can be regarded as adjusting his life, and his paintings are all formed at one time, and there will be no changes after painting, so these pictures did not waste much of his time.

Liu Lang has made explanations for every picture, and the images of animals involved in the movie also appear in it, so it can be said that this movie has been drawn on paper by him, as long as it is filmed.

Lucas shook his head again and again while listening, not to deny the other party, but to be helpless to Liu Lang's super imagination, a simple revenge story turned out to be so attractive after being recreated by Liu Lang, why are you so good at the age of ten? I don't understand, I don't understand.

Cattermor is accustomed to this kind of thing, and he just needs to present the fairy tale world constructed by Liu Lang perfectly. Fupin Chinese
