Chapter 864
After many years, Zhou Shi finally enjoyed the beautiful service of Japan, whether it was soaking in hot springs or experiencing Japan's characteristic customs and services. The communication with Sun Zhenyi is quite smooth, just a partner, not looking for the other half of life.
In any case, Sun Zhenyi is a very idealistic person, and the vision fund with a scale of 100 billion US dollars in the future is a very idealistic investment fund. Of course, I don't talk about how likely this fund is to succeed, just talk about his courage and the trust that so many people have in him, which is a very awesome thing.
"I really appreciate everything you do at Yahoo, artificial intelligence has the ability to change the world, and Yahoo will be at the forefront of the world!" Sun Zhenyi
"Our research on artificial intelligence is still very rudimentary, and success now does not mean success in the future, and there are countless possibilities in the future. "Zhou Shi
"But we don't have to find our place in it. "Sun Zhenyi
"Of course you can, everyone has this possibility......" Zhou Shi
"So what if I want to improve this possibility?" Sun Zhenyi
"Only by increasing the scope and intensity of investment ......," Zhou Shi replied after thinking for a while
"Then let's start working together again from here!" Sun Zhenyi
"You can ......" Zhou Shi
Both are chairmen of Yahoo and both have their own businesses outside of Yahoo. So much so that it has been compared by many Western media. In other words, Zhou Shi can be regarded as a topic center, whether it is Michael Dyer, Zuckerberg or Sun Zhenyi, they are similar to him, and even have something in common with Warren Buffett and Soros. However, relatively speaking, Sun Zhenyi seems to be closer to him. have made great achievements in the Internet industry, and more of an investor.
Zhou Shi didn't expect that Sun Zhenyi had the idea of setting up a vision fund at this time.
"I think the two main directions of the Internet infrastructure field and the consumer Internet field are the main directions for us to move forward. "Zhou Shi
"What is Internet Infrastructure and ......" Sun Zhenyi
"Broadband and mobile communication data networks, the Internet of Things, cloud computing, etc. are all infrastructure, and the combination of the Internet and clothing, food, housing, transportation, culture, and entertainment is ......," Zhou Shi
"Artificial intelligence?" Sun Zhenyi
"It can't do without the Internet......" Zhou Shi
The two exchanged ideas with each other, and the idea of the Vision Fund became clearer. Whether it is artificial intelligence, robotics and the Internet of Things, or deep learning, autonomous driving, financial technology, food and medicine, and transportation will become their directions.
While discussing and examining the development of Yahoo Japan, we will enjoy the wonderful service by the way.
"Why are you here!" Zhou Shi was a little panicked, but fortunately, Chen Wen and the others bought him some time and dealt with the scene.
"Why can't I come, there is a branch of Starlight Film and Television in Japan. "Master Liu
Zhou Shi's biggest contribution to Starlight is to open up overseas markets, whether it is Hollywood, Japan and South Korea, there are Starlight Film and Television companies, and their influence is not small.
"Isn't the stock price of Starlight Film and Television falling so much, don't you care?" Zhou Shi, although there is a super IP of "Despicable Me", but there is a lack of overseas promotion channels, and there are many benefits to be shared, and the domestic film and television market share is so large, excellent film and television works often depend on luck, and the profit growth of Starlight Film and Television has been lower than expected for a long time, the market value is less than 100 billion soft girl coins, and now there is only about 60 billion soft girl coins, it is impossible to say that Zhang Zhao has no pressure.
"Starlight's affairs are mainly due to Mr. Zhang's ......" Liu Shishi was a little embarrassed, she didn't have the confidence to come to Japan to catch the sharp, for fear that Zhou Shi would be disgusted.
"Oh, let's have a good rest when you're here!" Zhou Shi
"Hmm!" was silent all night
Continuing to communicate with Sun Zhenyi, Liu Shishi left several of his assistants to Starlight Japan, which includes AKB48, Hatsune Miku and other idols, participated in the investment of Makoto Shinkai Animation Films, and basically gained a firm foothold in the Japanese market. There is no way, the market in Huaxia is too big, and there is enough capital and strength. Of course, if you want to grow further, the difficulty is not ordinary.
"Mr. Zhou!" Chen Wen found Zhou Shi in her free time
"What's wrong!" Zhou Shi
"Miss Liu lost her temper over there and cursed...... "Chen Wen."
"Let her be!" Zhou Shi didn't think about it for long before he made a decision.
"But ......" Chen Wen
"Why don't you deal with it, I trust you!" Zhou Shi
"Okay!" Chen Wen didn't talk nonsense, and left directly.
The future of the Vision Fund may not be very good, over-catalyzing excellent companies will only make the market lose its mind, not all the founder teams can manage the funds well, and there will never be fewer people who are lost in cash. There is a high probability that SoftBank will go to self-destruction with a huge investment bubble, or it may be accompanied by a huge success, and it will reap unparalleled success. In the final analysis, it depends on whether the future world is the world of Internet giants, and when SoftBank can blow up the bubble. The world is undergoing unprecedented changes, both politically and economically.
Everyone who has made great achievements is betting on the future, but regardless of the current point of view, domestic entrepreneurs still lack courage. The most powerful thing in China is the consumer Internet, but the gap between the enterprise-level Internet and foreign countries is quite obvious, that is, the lack of ERP, data, and industrial design software...... Even the industrial Internet may not be very strong. When an army of robots emerges, once their cost is lower than that of human labor, this trend is difficult to reverse. At that time, the industrial Internet, which could be perfectly combined with industrial robots, was obviously difficult to be dominated by Huaxia. The gap in the industrial base is not so easy to make up, but the market of more than one billion people and the developed economy are enough to support the establishment of a complete industrial system in China.
No matter what the future of the Vision Fund is, it is worth Zhou Shi to try, like Apple to accumulate hundreds of billions of dollars in cash in the bank to eat the stupid thing he will not do, who knows how high the world's inflation will be, too much cash has a great effect on maintaining the stability of enterprises and countries, but it is not a good thing for society. This is equivalent to the ancient landlords and tycoons burying the money they earned, so that there is less and less money in circulation in society, and less and less value is created through money.
"What kind of fund are you going to set up?" Zhou Shi asked in the final stage of the discussion
"At the beginning, it was about 10 billion dollars, and Sprint Telecom was still short of money, so I couldn't draw much money for the time being. "Sun Zhenyi
"It's only 10 billion?" Zhou Shi originally thought that if there was no 100 billion, how could there be tens of billions of dollars, which was too disappointing for him.
"Ten billion will not be our end, it will only be our starting point!" Sun Zhenyi
"Okay then!" Zhou Shi doesn't care, the cooperation between the two sides can't be run in at the beginning, it always takes time.
