Chapter 159: Vista Investments
It's a bastard not to take advantage of it, not to mention that this kind of big pie falling from the sky smashes on his head, and this big fortune has come to the door, how can there be no reason not to.
Liu Xun had the heart to let Zhou Peiwan agree immediately, but fortunately, he was also a person who had been rolling in the mall for many years, so he naturally knew that this kind of thing was in a hurry, and he decided to settle down without investigating anything, which seemed too hasty, so after settling down Xue Juewu and staying in the hotel, on the way back, Liu Xun finally couldn't help laughing out loud in the car.
Zhou Peiwan could feel Liu Xun's excitement, and then thought of what she had just discussed, and couldn't help but become curious, "Little Si, are you also very interested in Cisco?" Do you believe that investing in Cisco will be beneficial? I was interested because Mr. Valentine brought it up with me, and Mr. Chambers also thought that investing in Cisco would pay off. ”
Well, Liu Xun shouted in his heart, which is just a good return, in fact, this is a hundred, thousands of times the return, you know, 24% of the shares, put in 1999, the market value is more than 120 billion US dollars, and now the need to invest is only less than 200 million US dollars, 120 billion US dollars, think about that is a crazy number, what a high return on investment.
"Auntie, did you just mention Valentine, are you talking about the founder of Sequoia Capital?"
"That's right, it's him, what's the matter, does Xiao Si also know about this person?" Zhou Peiwan is a little strange, I feel that Liu Xun seems to know a little bit about many people in the United States, but thinking that her nephew has earned more than 100 million yuan in a few months, it would be strange if there was nothing outstanding.
Liu Xun nodded slightly, but secretly said in his heart, as the father of venture capital in Silicon Valley, how could Valentine, who is the father of venture capital in Silicon Valley, not know? For this with Arthur? Locke, John? Doerr and Vinod? Khosra is tied for one of the four giants of venture capital experts, and Liu Xun knows a lot.
Since Valentine founded Sequoia Capital in 1972, according to statistics, he has invested in more than 350 technology companies, including Apple Computer in the personal computer revolution, Atari in the game console industry, the most famous database company Oracle, the network hardware giant Cisco, and the Internet legend Yahoo, Valentine also enjoys the reputation of "the father of venture capital in Silicon Valley", and most of his investments have brought him extremely rich returns.
Just like in the 80s, he only invested 2.4 million US dollars to obtain 30% of Cisco's shares, even if you don't have to wait until 1999, Cisco's current market value is close to 700 million US dollars, and the 30% shares are worth 200 million US dollars, compared with his original 2.4 million yuan, an increase of nearly 100 times, not to mention that in the next few years, Cisco's market value will soar hundreds of times, and the return on investment of Valentine's shares will be an incomparably crazy number.
Liu Xun didn't want to, my aunt actually knew a cow like Valentine, of course, the current Sequoia Capital is not as famous as later generations, Valentine's many investments, at this moment, have not yet shown what extent their forward-looking vision has reached, Sequoia Capital is only a little famous at this time.
"Auntie, I think we might as well set up a special venture capital company, right?"
The so-called venture capital company is actually a special venture fund or venture capital, which effectively invests the funds under their control into high-tech enterprises with profit potential, and obtains capital returns through the latter's listing or merger and acquisition. Venture capitalists invest money in new ventures, helping the management team to grow the company to the point where it can be "listed", i.e., selling shares to the investing public. Once this is achieved, the typical venture capital firm will sell its interest in the company and move on to the next new venture.
Undoubtedly, once the venture capital is successful, the benefits obtained are an extremely crazy number, just like Sequoia Capital's investment in Cisco, the benefits achieved are unbelievable.
It is about the relationship between the dead end of thinking, Liu Xun has never paid attention to these fields before, nor has he thought about setting up venture capital, but Cisco's things undoubtedly reminded him that there is such a convenient and fast way to make money, although the domestic industry to develop, that is his dream all along, but the establishment of venture capital companies abroad, investment in those famous enterprises in later generations, there will undoubtedly be an incomparably crazy rate of return.
Investing in Cisco is just one of them, with the memory of another time and space, Liu Xun knows that in a few years, whether it is Amazon, Google or Yahoo, investing in these trendsetting companies can get hundreds of times the return, and with the memory of another time and space, Liu Xun secretly said in his heart that he may not be able to replace Valentine as the father of venture capital, and may not be able to become the fifth expert in venture capital.
As for the huge profits of the investment company, it is just able to solve the funds he craves for development in China, Liu Xun is not satisfied with only earning a bunch of piles of wealth on paper, when the money reaches a certain number, it is just a bunch of numbers, what Liu Xun wants, obviously not like this, so that there are many dreams to be realized.
Liu Xun naturally knows how difficult it is for private enterprises in this era to survive and develop in China. It is too difficult for private enterprises to obtain funds for development, and if they want to avoid the dark areas in the industry, there is no doubt that it is a good choice to obtain huge cash flow from abroad.
"Venture capital? You mean, setting up a venture capital like Sequoia Capital to invest in Cisco? Zhou Peiwan was slightly stunned, she didn't expect Liu Xun to intend to set up a venture capital now, in fact, she had also considered this issue before, or hesitated, whether to invest directly by the XP fund or set up another venture capital company.
"Yes, we set up venture capital, we want to invest not only in Cisco, but also in other high-tech companies in the future, of course, whether to invest in Cisco, we also need to conduct a comprehensive investigation, auntie, you first ask the other party for Cisco's information, and then we will have formal contact after the year."
Zhou Peiwan is also very interested in the establishment of venture capital, although it is not yet sure whether to invest in Cisco, after all, it is a huge investment involving nearly 200 million US dollars, it is impossible to make a rash decision, but the establishment of a venture capital company, both of them are very interested, after arriving at the riverside community, the two took out a lot of information and began to discuss, and it didn't take long to finalize it.
Finally, when he said the name of the venture capital company, Liu Xun suddenly smiled weirdly, "It's called Vista Investment." ”
"Vista Investments?"
"Translated into Chinese is the meaning of vision, as the name of the investment company, just right." Liu Xun explained in a serious way, but he laughed in his heart, well, since he used the name of XP fund, it seems that it is not bad to use the name of Vista Investment.
