Friday, March 22.

On this day, the science and technology circle and the capital circle were very hot, and science and technology entrepreneurs from more than 100 countries and regions in the country rushed to the same city - Sioux City.

Today is the first day of this year's Shengfeng Capital Global Venture Capital Summit, and the summit venue has taken more than two months to complete the layout, which is not only a venture capital summit, but also a communication conference for technology entrepreneurs, and an exhibition conference for high-tech applications.

With three words, it can perfectly interpret the Shengfeng Capital Global Venture Capital Summit - tall.

That's right, it's tall.

Although it is nominally an investment summit, capital cannot become the protagonist today, technology is, and technology is the absolute synonym and protagonist of the summit.

……

At about eight o'clock in the morning, people from all walks of life who participated in the summit entered the venue one after another, and the largest group was still the mass science and technology enthusiasts, and most of them were young people, most of whom were young college students.

The second is the army of entrepreneurs, which is the main force, and the Shengfeng Capital Global Technology Venture Capital Summit is a holy place in the minds of many technology entrepreneurs, dreaming of getting an angel round of financing to realize their dream of science and technology entrepreneurship from 0 to 1.

Then there are people in the capital community, you must know that Luo Sheng is the vane of industry technology, the barometer of the economy, every year the venture capital summit has attracted VCs from all over the world to participate, and many VCs themselves have handed over a large amount of money to Shengfeng Capital to invest and manage.

Another is the industry insiders in the technology circle, and the annual venture capital summit is regarded by the industry as the vane of technology, and it is impossible not to come.

In the end, people from the media are indispensable.

The number of participants in the summit reached a record high, reaching more than 20,000.

Sioux City has gradually become synonymous with the city of science and technology in China and is widely known to the world, and its influence is as influential as California is to Silicon Valley.

Known as the "Silicon Valley of the East", more and more start-up technology companies are born in Sioux City.

As for why this is so, there is no need to go into too much detail.

At this moment, the summit site is already crowded with people, the main venue is held in the open air, and today's weather is also very powerful, with a clear sky.

For ordinary technology enthusiasts who participate in this event for the first time, it is as if they are participating in a three-day event of the world's top and most cutting-edge science and technology expo.

The most intuitive feeling when entering the venue is that there are screens everywhere, large and small, everywhere, and the screens projected give people the feeling of being in the future world.

When the domestic melon-eating masses came to the scene, they all felt inexplicably proud and proud, especially some 30-year-old people, who never dared to believe that all this was happening in the mainland.

Ten years ago, if someone told them that there would be such a grand event in China, they would definitely think that the other party was daydreaming.

But today, it is really happening in front of you, and all of this is because of a name - Luo Sheng.

Some of the ordinary spectators who participated in the conference for the first time at the scene were extremely excited, and before the conference began, they looked around, and people of all colors and colors from different countries and regions and different occupations came into view, but most of them were dressed in suits and leather shoes.

The main stage in front of us is the most dazzling, and the most eye-catching of them are the three super giant screens, which are so huge in size that each giant screen is a little larger than a standard basketball court.

Standing on the empty stage under the giant curtain also looks unusually small.

Style!

It is worth mentioning that the average admission ticket fee for this summit is 827 yuan per ticket, and it has received a lot of ticket revenue of 17 million yuan.

Compared with the excitement of the Chinese people, the foreign media people can't stop being amazed, and even a little sour and vinegar, it is difficult for them to imagine that this is Huaguo.

It should take place in the developed land of Europe and the United States, and this kind of scientific and technological event should not appear in a developing country.

As a matter of fact, the degree of development of China's coastal areas today is not much weaker than that of developed countries in Europe and the United States.

……

At 9:30 minutes, when a spicy man appeared on the picture of the three super-large giant screens, the conference scene suddenly rejoiced, and its spectacular scene can only be felt when you come to the scene.

Needless to say, even many people in the capital circle did not hesitate to offer cheers and applause, because Luo Sheng brought them a lot of income, and many VCs in the field are shareholders of Shengfeng Capital, and its private equity funds have paid a lot of money to Shengfeng Capital to take care of.

"Good morning, welcome to all of you, this year's Venture Capital Summit has the largest number of participants in the history, and it is also the first time that it has exceeded 20,000 people, which is unique in the world, thank you for your support."

Luo Sheng walked steadily towards the midfield of the stage, and at the same time made a simple opening, which can only be said that the stage is a bit big, and he has not yet reached the halfway after the opening remarks.

In his home stadium, Luo Sheng always wore his standard IT boss outfit, and the outdoor weather was quite warm for a few days.

"Some people say that the AI fever has receded, but before I speak, you say that the tide has receded?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of laughter at the scene, and many followers refreshed themselves when they heard it, and the melon-eating fans who watched the live broadcast swiped their "domineering" messages.

I'm afraid that only Luo Sheng in the industry will be so "arrogant", but he does have this arrogant capital, and his company's artificial intelligence technology is currently leading the industry and is synonymous with the word top.

"2013 is destined to be an extraordinary year for the industry, this year is not only not a year of artificial intelligence fever, but will further set off a tide of artificial intelligence technology and investment, more turbulent than the previous wave, whether it is a well-known technology giant you are familiar with, or start-ups, will compete to tap the application potential of this technology in various fields, in this sprint race that may only last a few years, players from different fields will compete to chase on different tracks, this artificial intelligence race, The ebb tide is just an illusion, but in fact it has just begun. ”

The same words are spoken in the mouths of different people, with completely different meanings and completely different influences.

And these words came out of Luo Sheng's mouth, which undoubtedly boosted the spirits of practitioners and investors in the field of artificial intelligence, and even the first contemporary technology boss said it so firmly, which shows that the future of this field is promising.

Who could be more authoritative than Luo Sheng?

Just when Luo Sheng said this, the A-share gem pointed out that artificial intelligence concept stocks rose sharply, and the stock market had opened for more than ten minutes.

As a result, because of Luo Sheng's words, he directly rebounded from the bottom and strengthened upward, which can really be said to interpret the sentence "industry vane, economic barometer" to the extreme.

The market's superstition about Luo Sheng is almost to the point of blindness.

However, Luo Sheng didn't know about A-shares, so he continued: "What has Shengfeng Capital done in the past 2012? We have invested a total of 18.9 billion US dollars, or about 118.5 billion yuan. We have invested in 278 start-up technology companies around the world, covering many hot sectors such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing services, and IoT chips. ”

When the entrepreneurs in the audience heard these words, they all felt envious of the 278 startups, which is equivalent to each startup getting an investment of 67.98 million US dollars from Shengfeng Capital last year, about 4.2 yuan.

It can be called inhumane.

But everyone is not surprised, not to mention last year, let's talk about this quarter, Bluestar Technology is a hundreds of millions of dollars of investment, tens of millions of dollars of investment is the basic operation.

Can you really do whatever you want with money?

A special reporter from the domestic media whispered to his partner with emotion: "I can finally understand why last year's Bluestar Technology lost a large share of the business market in developed countries, and the expansion speed of the territory of the technology empire under Luo Sheng is too terrifying." ”

Despite this, at today's venture capital summit, foreign faces can be seen everywhere.

Obviously, this does not hinder the cross-border exchange of capital, capital has no borders, where they can bring them profits, they will go, and entrepreneurs are the same, they need money, whoever can invest will go there.

"Today, I intend to select 12 of the 278 startups that are representative of this year's technology theme, in order to introduce what we have done, Shengfeng Capital has invested in more than 2,730 companies since its establishment, with these companies, we have laid out our own unique technology moat, these 12 startups are also to further improve the business ecology of the two major groups of Cote d'Azur and Bluestar Technology."

"For example, in the field of artificial intelligence, Shengfeng Capital not only invests in upstream companies specializing in algorithms, but also lays out downstream artificial intelligence solution providers, and invests in cloud computing services and chips, especially in the field of chips, all of which demonstrates the determination of Bluestar Technology and the Cote d'Azur to build a technological moat in the digital era."
