Chapter 933: Gold Rush in Silicon Valley

The five performances in New York were quickly completed, and at the end of the last performance, the fans were reluctant to shout his name and retire from the music scene.

Han Jin was also moved to tears, and the team members, the audience, and the audience cried a ball on and off the stage.

After the tour, Li Jin took the lead and took the team back to Hong Kong. Han Jin took Zeng Huaqian to Silicon Valley, which is not far from here.

"Ah Jin, if we don't go back to Hong Kong, what are we doing here?" Zeng Huaqian asked suspiciously, she didn't know anything about Silicon Valley.

"Let's pan for gold." Han Jin said with a smile.

In the 80s, Silicon Valley was a big gold mine, with Microsoft, Apple, Cisco, Oracle, etc., all the giants of the high-tech industry taking root here. And most of them are still just starting now, and it is the time for Han Jin to buy the bottom.

Han Jin has long coveted these high-tech companies, and as early as the year before, he had been asking Stanley to absorb the shares of these listed companies.

At present, he is the third largest shareholder of Microsoft, with a 15% stake; Apple's largest shareholder, with 34% of the shares; He also holds 20 million shares of Intel stock and 50 million shares of IBM stock, with a total market value of up to $2 billion, making him a veritable Silicon Valley predator. It's just that all the shares are held by an offshore company based in his name, so Han Jin's reputation is not obvious.

This time he came to Silicon Valley, one is to use the memories of his past life to pick up leaks. Stanley is only a qualified investment advisor, but not a professional venture capitalist. He is good at finance and the stock market, but he is blind to high-tech entrepreneurship.

Therefore, although Han Jin asked him to invest more in Silicon Valley, the progress has not been too great in the past two years. In addition to several well-known listed companies such as Microsoft, Apple, Intel, and IBM, like many companies that are still in the growth stage, his vision is not so sharp. In order to avoid the pearl in the sea. Han Jin decided to go out in person this time, vowing to catch all these young shoots.

Second, Han Jin also wants to set up an angel investment company in Silicon Valley by the way. Nowadays, high-tech companies are very popular in the stock market, and the stock price of the company soars as soon as it goes public, so there is not much room for profit when it is reinvested after listing.

So Han Jin wanted to set up this angel investment company and intervened from the beginning. That's a lot of money. Of course, the risk of angel investment companies is much greater, and they may invest in a hundred companies, and in the end, only one or two can survive. However, Han Jin has the memory of his past life, which is a big cheat, and the investment risk is greatly reduced, and making money is just a turtle in an urn.

"Gold panning?! Is there a gold mine in Silicon Valley? Zeng Huaqian asked suspiciously.

"Yes, there's a big gold mine." Han Jin said with a smile.

……

Coming to Silicon Valley, Han Jin's private investment adviser Stanley is already waiting here, "Boss~"

"Yes." Han Jin nodded. "Have you prepared all the materials I want you to prepare?"

"It's ready, it's all here." Stanley hurriedly said, "This is the information I ordered someone to carefully collect about all the startups in Silicon Valley at present, there are a total of 24,521 companies. ”

"Wow, that's a lot!" Han Jin was taken aback, just hearing that Silicon Valley is a paradise for high-tech startups, he really didn't expect that there would be so many companies gathered here.

"Yes, Silicon Valley companies are dying and growing at a rapid pace. Last year, there were 20,000 newly registered companies, but more than 17,000 companies went bankrupt and deregistered. Stanley said again. Just by talking about it, a company may be established and a company may declare bankruptcy. ”

Han Jin nodded, it seems that this Silicon Valley is not only a paradise for entrepreneurs, but also their grave. It's just that the light of the successful ones is too dazzling, so that people don't notice the losers.

This is somewhat similar to the entertainment industry. People only pay attention to how beautiful those first-tier superstars are, but they don't see how tormented the days of eight-tier stars are.

The reason why Stanley did not dare to invest in Silicon Valley was also because the risk was too great, and he didn't know when it would be closed. His investment philosophy is somewhat similar to Warren Buffett's, and he likes to invest in traditional industries. For example, large companies like Coca-Cola, Boeing, and Amex are in a monopoly position.

Because Stanley is an investment advisor, he must ensure that his clients always make money, otherwise he is likely to be fired. Therefore, his investment philosophy tends to be conservative and he is not willing to take big risks.

This is similar to Wang Jing, Wang Jing's favorite film is to make action movies and comedy films, because these two kinds of movies will never lack audiences, and they will always have a relatively good box office, of course, provided that the quality of the movie is passable.

……

The information of more than 24,000 companies is now in Han Jin's hands. Among them, there are listed companies with more than 10,000 employees, and there are also leather bag companies with only a few employees, but Han Jin does not have such a thin skin, and all of them are treated equally.

Because listed companies with more than 10,000 employees may also be in danger, and leather bag companies with only a few people may also soar. High-tech companies rely on their own high-tech technology, but in this era of rapid development of science and technology, the upgrading of science and technology is also extremely fast.

Just like Nokia and Motorola, in the 90s and 00s, they were almost the overlords of the communications industry, who would have thought that less than two years after the Apple machine came out, these two companies would have bad luck.

"Ah Jin, when will you finish reading all this information?" Zeng Huaqian saw the thick stack of information, afraid that there would be no three "Kangxi Dictionary" thick, and couldn't help but say distressedly.

"Let's take our time, we have time anyway." Han Jin smiled, and then looked at them carefully one by one.

HE IS NOT PARTICULARLY FAMILIAR WITH AMERICAN HIGH-TECH COMPANIES, BUT HE REALLY CAN'T THINK ABOUT THINGS LIKE MICROSOFT, CISCO, HP, DELL, APPLE, ORACLE, ADOBE, INTEL, AMD, NVIDIA, ETC.

Looking at the information one by one, Han Jin picked out the companies he was familiar with one by one, such as Cisco, which was established only the year before last and produced routers and switches; ADOBE, a digital media provider founded in '82 and only started to develop the year before last; Founded in '77, it went public last year and raised $60 million......

In the end, he selected a total of 25 companies, all of which were ranked among the world's top 500 high-tech companies in later generations. Start now, even if you eat dividends in the future, you won't be able to eat them at all.

"These companies must be invested, and it is better to become a majority shareholder." Han Jin instructed Stanley that he didn't have the heart to buy all these companies.

Large companies like Microsoft, Apple, and Intel, because they have very sensitive technologies, the U.S. government will not sit idly by and watch Han Jin, a foreigner, take over, and it is already very good to let him eat meat with him, (to be continued......
