Chapter 92 Establishment of Bluestar Ventures!
Xia Yu and Yang Chunsheng then chatted for a long time.
What he can do is mainly to discuss some characteristics of micro-hard disk MP3 and provide some advice and help for the R&D department in terms of design schemes.
Historically, this kind of ultra-large capacity MP3 has not been able to mix with the real mainstream status, at least in terms of portability and price, which is enough to stop most users. But it is undeniable that this kind of product that embodies a company's strength and even concept in the field of industrial design and assembly manufacturing can attract high-end die-hard users.
In contrast, there are more things to consider in the design of the solution because of the large space, the higher-end components used, and the two key technical designs – the cache and the 320K high-quality sound quality option.
Fortunately, Yang Chunsheng has been in contact with it before, and even carefully studied it himself and tried to analyze and refactor the scheme, so he can't talk about being scared. Speaking of the Fiberhome X series solution, the biggest feature is compatibility.
"Not to mention anything else, we are still a little confident in the plan, so at the end of the month, I will hand in the answer sheet. But it does have to be a little more support......"
"Hey, Mr. Yang, don't be polite, you are also the vice president of Polestar, just say what you need, just ask Liu Mingsheng directly!"
Xia Yu gave Liu Mingsheng the right to sign within a certain range, and many things did not need to be asked in person.
After several months of ultra-high-intensity and high-level training, Liu Mingsheng, who is studious and hard-working, has also been tapped in management and coordination.
"In fact, it's easy ......to say, Xiaogang's re-application for equipment funds will be greatly increased, and it is inevitable that enough design parameters and product parameters will be extracted for reference;
How can this Xia Yu refuse? Joy is not in a hurry!
In short, you are the vice president of R&D of Polestar, the product department of Xiaogang, the design department of Fan Pingze who is about to come over, and the coordination of the three aspects of Fiberhome Studio must also be arrested!"
Speaking of which, Xia Yu paid too little attention to the MP3 industry before his rebirth, and only remembered the ordinary number jù of some classic models, and I was completely impressed by the professional parameters at the design level.
After all, this is also a short-term industry!
If it is a smartphone of later generations, there are many models that can be directly used in the "memory" that has gone through so many disassembly and technical documentation research. Although it can't be copied directly, I don't know how much I can save and how much efficiency can be improved if I set a parameter range.
Thinking of this, Xia Yu really can't help but cut into the mobile phone market, especially in the era of feature phones, it is impossible to catch up, but if you work your smartphone earlier, it will really be fun!
However, in this case, it may not be long before the layout begins......
Yang Chunsheng didn't notice that he was distracted, and replied with a smile, "Okay! Just don't let me deal with those manufacturers and channel providers!" This is also his true thoughts.
……
After returning to the office and confirming to Zhang Mei that he had no important arrangements, Xia Yu turned on the computer and surfed the Internet, and the first thing was to simply search for any negative news about Polestar Electronics.
As a result, on the homepage of Google, I found a message like this: "The newly bought Polaris K2 is extremely rough in workmanship, and the sound quality is scummy, regret it, this is the conscience of the domestic product you are talking about?"
Xia Yu's face darkened suddenly.
Is this still not giving up on Black Pole Star? It's too untechnical, and I haven't found the right point at all!
Quickly clicked in, and found that this was a popular post in the equipment section of a music lover forum, posted at about 9 o'clock in the morning, and there were more than 300 replies a few hours later, which is also related to the current K2 fire.
The problem is that this post does not have a picture, nor does it elaborate on the specific situation, it seems that it only posted such a title, and it did not appear again after a few casual complaints.
Scroll down and look at the reply, many of them are on the side of Polestar and question the landlord's brainlessness, but someone on the 18th floor asked, "The landlord can't have bought a fake, right?"
That's right, a high imitation machine a while ago!
In the past few days, there has been less attention, and he didn't read some of the weekly reports issued by the marketing department over the weekend. Xia Yu didn't care about this post anymore and immediately called Luo Dong.
"That's right,Listen to this description is a high imitation machine,Now K2How can anyone say that the sound quality is poor?"
Luo Dong glanced at it and immediately confirmed, and then added: "The marketing department has always been monitoring, of course, it can't be strict, but it's just rough." At present, this high imitation machine has only appeared in a few provinces in South China and the Jiangnan area, because the appearance is too similar and some businesses deliberately vague publicity, there are indeed one after another, but in fact, the total number is not much. ”
Xia Yu nodded, as long as it wasn't out of control on a large scale, it was okay, and asked again: "It's hard work, continue to stare at it, and send a lawyer's letter after finding out the company behind it." ”
There is no way, there is no way to fight an infringement lawsuit in this case, after all, the other party did not directly use Polestar's name and logo but just imitated, and the law of China is currently like this.
People play this way to see this.
This "family" is naturally Gao Wenlong and Shengming Electronics, which is now completely under his control.
However, Gao Wenlong was not too happy at this time, because the great success of Polaris K2 really stimulated him. Even if the average profit of the three machines is 200 yuan, if it can sell 500,000 units, it will be 100 million! This figure is not a small amount when put into the CDH Group, which is the main business of the Gao family.
As for the high imitation machine, it is not difficult, originally the acquired factory is to imitate the Polaris K1, after getting the mold and accessories plan through the inner line that Guò worked hard to get, it immediately began to step up imitation, and it came out in a few days.
Although the quality is average, after fuzzy processing, it has shipped through small channels in the name of K2, and nearly 2,000 have been shipped in ten days, making a small profit of two or three hundred thousand.
But this obviously could not satisfy Gao Wenlong's ambitions.
Thinking about the new tricks he was planning, a playful evil smile appeared on his face.
……
Xia Yu, who didn't know about Gao Wenlong's new conspiracy, was depressed about another thing at this moment.
A few days ago, because the financial situation finally eased, he also officially began to plan the establishment of a venture capital company.
The only negotiable person in this regard is, of course, Xiao Wenjing. However, Xia Yu was a little cautious and wanted to surprise her, so he started to act alone two days ago - also to "hook up" with a senior in the investment circle in his previous life, Ye Guantai.
This Ye Guantai can be regarded as half of the leader in the venture capital career after Xia Yu later returned from the United States, and the two have a similar temperament, and they often chat together.
Therefore, Xia Yu clearly remembers that he joined Plateau Capital China Fund in 2008, and before that, "now", that is, at the end of 2004, he resigned from the investment bank Credit Suisse First Boston (CSFB) Asia Investment Manager, optimistic about the opportunities of Huaguo Technology Internet, and wanted to set up a small venture capital fund.
But later, he failed to raise enough funds, and eventually joined Intel's industrial investment department in China as a director at the end of 2004.
Xia Yu now barely has a small capital of 10 million, and the number of small investment projects at this time, such as the seed stage and the A round, is not too much, thinking that he should be able to gain his trust and favor by taking the initiative to contact Ye Guantai, who is in trouble.
But now an email has made him realize that he is thinking too simply.
As it turned out, the friend, who he later considered "warm and sincere", also had a hard time believing the content of a strange 17-year-old's first email at this time.
Ye Guantai said in the email:
"Mr. Xia Yu, thank you for your trust. I am indeed preparing to set up a venture capital fund company, but I don't need industrial capital to intervene for the time being......
You are very welcome to invest in my new fund, I have many years of experience in the financial capital market and investment market......
My team and I will use the most professional judgment and standards to create an unimaginable return on investment for you......"
Gotcha, to put it bluntly, I don't take myself seriously at all!
In the end, I also pulled it by the way to see if I could fool my money out!
Well, I met Ye Guantai back then, and I also achieved it because I had the three halos of Stanford, Intel, and Google, plus a little accident. Now I "confess" this identity...... Is it a small boss at most, maybe he is still thought to be a rich second generation.
Moreover, the wording of "10 million yuan in the early stage and will be increased as appropriate in the later stage" mentioned by myself is indeed not convincing enough. After all, what he wants to do is a simple venture capital fund, and the investment of 10 million yuan as a fund share is okay, and if he wants to partner to make a mixed fund, I am afraid that it is not what Ye Guantai wants at this time.
Forget it, 10 million is not impossible to play, let's start with angels!
Xia Yu didn't want to delay any longer.
In a few days, I will go to Yanjing, where there is Zhongguancun, the "Silicon Valley of China", known as the mecca of science and technology entrepreneurship, there are countless entrepreneurs with passion and dreams, they may only lack hundreds of thousands of yuan of angel investment at this time to make good products, but they are rejected for various reasons.
He knows this group of people too well and is optimistic about the many opportunities in this era, so he can't wait.
This is not difficult to operate, Xia Yu made up his mind and quickly contacted a well-established agency registration agency in China, and named a registered company in the British Virgin Islands.
The British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, and Bermuda are among the three famous offshore domiciles in the world, and the advantages are very obvious in comparison. In addition to the simplest such as the simplicity of the offshore registration process, low cost, and the convenience of tax avoidance, there is also a very important - the great importance of corporate privacy protection, such as the absolute confidentiality of information such as directors and shareholders.
In fact, many domestic technology and Internet companies that use international venture capital as their main channel for financing choose to register offshore companies in these places.
At least Xia Yu knew that things like Alibaba, **, later Renren.com, Youku.com, etc., were all in the Cayman Islands, and Jingdong Mall, Tencent, Sohu, etc. were all in the Virgin Islands.
The reason is very simple, in addition to the several factors mentioned above, such an offshore company can also be registered in the domestic operating entity company through guò equity holding, and at the same time avoid the current foreign exchange control of Huaguo, and directly accept the capital injection of US dollar-based investment companies.
In this way, it is very convenient for subsequent overseas financing and listing.
Xia Yu was also afraid of trouble in the future, and this venture capital company simply chose Virgin directly.
In just three hours, the business representative of the agency company sorted out the preliminary information according to the information and requirements provided by Xia Yu, determined the meaning of the business scope and registered capital, and then asked him on the phone whether the company's name was determined.
Xia Yu's heart moved, and he dialed Xiao Wenjing's mobile phone.
"Hey, let me ask you, what color do you like?"
"Blue, what's wrong?"
"It's fine!"
Hanging up the phone, Xia Yu said to the business manager who was waiting for a reply: "It's called Bluestar Venture Capital." ”
