Chapter 713: TV Show
Regarding Li Yadong's decision to invest in Silicon Valley, everyone present agrees.
Even Miss Su couldn't help but nod, "Silicon Valley is indeed a good choice." ”
Silicon Valley, located in the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area, a metropolitan area in northern California, USA, is another name for the Santa Clara Valley.
This place got its name because it was first used as a place to research and produce silicon-based semiconductor chips.
You must know that as early as a few decades ago, Silicon Valley was still a fruit forest, but later due to the establishment of the famous Fairchild company, as well as Intel, Apple, Google, Oracle and other high-tech companies have settled down, gradually formed a prosperous town.
Silicon Valley is characterized by relying on some of the top universities in the United States with strong scientific research capabilities, and it is surrounded by many prestigious universities including Stanford University, California Berkeley, and St. and Seisai State University, so that Silicon Valley has a steady stream of successor talents. After more than 40 years of development, Silicon Valley has become the largest high-tech zone in the United States, as well as the kingdom of the world's electronics industry and computer industry.
As we all know, although high-tech is very profitable, Silicon Valley has also come out of a large number of technology tycoons, but the research and development of high-tech is quite expensive, even if almost one-third of the venture capital in the United States is concentrated in Silicon Valley, but compared with thousands of technology companies in Silicon Valley, it is still a drop in the bucket.
Venture capitalists are more willing to invest their money in relatively mature companies, such as chipmakers that have a basic grasp of the core technology, rather than World Wide Web or Ethernet startups that are still exploring at this time.
In short, among the many technology companies in Silicon Valley, there are a large number of companies waiting to be fed at this time, and it is difficult to measure whether there will be the next Intel or Apple among them.
If you invest right, you will definitely be profitable, and if you invest wrong, a technology company like this will die quickly.
It's all about the investor's eye.
As for Li Yadong's vision, Miss Su has never doubted him.
As for the others, they are also full of confidence in Li Yadong, after all, how old is he?
Without two brushes, it would not be possible to mix to the extent it is today.
"BOSS, can I take the liberty of asking, did you decide to invest in Silicon Valley just to target the Nippon Seibu Group, or did you have the intention of investing?" Danny said thoughtfully.
"There are two factors, investing in Silicon Valley is a long-term plan, even if there is no pressure from Seibu Group, I will also consider it, but maybe not so soon. "Li Yadong told the truth.
A gold medal lawyer like Danny, who has been serving large companies in the United States, is no stranger to matters in the business field.
"If that's the case, I'd have an idea of killing two birds with one stone. Danny said with a smile.
"Oh?" Li Yadong asked with interest, "Let's hear it, how to kill two birds with one stone?"
"BOSS, you should know that the United States is a democratic society, and since you have decided on this investment plan, I suggest that it is better to make things bigger, use the influence of public opinion and the media, and stir up this matter, so that your investment plan can be carried out, but your popularity will be greatly enhanced, which will be of great benefit to our case. ”
After hearing Danny say this, Li Yadong's eyes couldn't help but light up, this is indeed a good idea.
His words are simply to put on a show.
Anyway, if you want to invest money, this is a thing that is beneficial to American society and harmless, so why not make it boil?
Let Li Yadong completely become popular in the United States, so that even if the cases involved with him do not go through the back door, the judicial organs will have to weigh the social impact.
After all, Guo Qi's case is clearly organized, and there are all human and material evidence, and once the judicial organs do any blatant partiality, I am afraid that there is no need for Li Yadong to appeal again, and the US media will first criticize the judicial organs.
"Get a TV show?" Li Yadong had an idea, he probably remembered watching a similar venture capital program before, that is, the representative of the company presented his core products and future plans on stage, and sold a certain amount of equity for financing, and then the venture capital institutions below made a choice of investment or not.
"TV show?" When everyone heard this, not to mention Miss Su and the others, even Danny, who made this suggestion, was greatly surprised.
He intended to put on a show, but he didn't want to make it so big, and he originally thought that if the boss could follow his advice and hype it up in the newspaper, it would be a blessing, and it would definitely be twice the result for him and his team to deal with the case.
"If you want to get it, you have to make it bigger. Li Yadong laughed.
In addition to his increased popularity and positive impact on Guo Qi's case, he also has another consideration.
That's the investment plan.
Although his investment direction has been determined, there are really many technology companies in Silicon Valley, and there must be thousands, who should he invest in?
This is actually a very time-consuming and labor-intensive matter, which requires a professional investment team to conduct a detailed evaluation and review before coming to a conclusion.
But he didn't have that time.
In addition, he has an ability that no one else possesses - future memory.
He doesn't necessarily know the future development trend of all companies in Silicon Valley, but he must have heard of some relatively top-notch ones.
In this case, get a TV show, Franklin throws it out, and let them come to the door to raise money themselves, and they only need to refer to the future memory to choose.
How hassle-free!
Save yourself from sending people to negotiate one by one, besides, you look for others, and others find you, in business negotiations, it is completely two concepts, you will firmly occupy the initiative, and naturally there is more room for bargaining.
Otherwise, companies like Microsoft and Apple, the devil knows if they are about the same amount of money and want to raise money, even if they want to, if you take the initiative to come to the door, people will not kill you fiercely.
The only thing you have to do is to throw out a large sum of Franklin, attract them, as long as you come, it means that you have intentions, and then the rest will come naturally.
"Oh, dear Lee, wouldn't that be a waste?" said Dorne, frowning, "and if you start a TV show on purpose, you need a lot of money. ”
Li Yadong doesn't care too much about this, it is currently at the critical point of the Internet outbreak in the United States, as long as the investment in a company, the rate of return is difficult to estimate.
Besides......
"Actually, I didn't intend to give money to the TV station. Li Yadong said with a smile.
But in exchange for Dorne's big eyes, that look seemed to say: Don't be whimsical.
"Don't believe it?" Li Yadong glanced at her, and said with a smile: "I have a brilliant idea that can greatly increase the ratings of a certain TV station, do you think based on this premise, they can still take the money from my pocket?"
"Oh, what's the idea?" Dorn couldn't help but light up, if that's the case, maybe it really doesn't cost money, because the TV station lives for the ratings.
But she really can't figure it out, obviously you asked someone to help with the program promotion investment plan, how can a TV program like this that ordinary people don't care about at all bring good ratings to the TV station?
Anyway, if a TV station shows such an investment program, she won't watch it, because it has nothing to do with her.
