Pengcheng, this is a young city, the city was officially established in the late seventies of the last century, and became the first batch of "special economic zones" in China the following year. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 After 30 years of economic construction, the comprehensive economic strength ranks among the top large and medium-sized cities in the country.

In this vibrant and energetic city, Tencent's presence is more like an intangible symbol of the city.

In the Tencent headquarters building, in an office with a nameplate of the Strategic Investment and M&A Department hanging at the door, assistant Xiao Liu was browsing the Internet news, and suddenly stood up and walked to the desk of the manager in charge, "Manager Wu, the infinite future technology company I am responsible for following up, their official website has just made an announcement, the number of users of Xiaoka translation software has exceeded 10 million, and it has just been charged for two days, and the number of paying users has exceeded 1 million." ”

Wu Ruitian was taken aback when he heard this, and immediately opened the webpage to confirm. For the software of Xiaoka Translation, when it first became a hot spot on the Internet two days after its release, the department had already noticed it and carried out key tracking. He is also a technician, and he has been reviewing transformation investment projects for several years, so he has to admit that he can't understand this software. Among the various companies he has contacted before, there are many products with technical highlights, but they are more just creative flashes or technical innovations, and there is no technical crushing.

However, this time, the technical department has not been able to explore the software kernel, let alone analyze the operating principle of the software. Two days ago, the department leaders invited the group's technical experts to participate in the analysis, and an expert in the field of machine translation in China said that the translation quality of the software has steadily surpassed the products of any company in the world. He also remembers the expert's words, "I thought it would be impossible to achieve machine translation in 20 years, but this software has achieved it." ”

After he confirmed, he immediately said to Xiao Liu, "You immediately gather all the personnel of this project and hold an emergency meeting in one hour." I have invited a few big leaders. He picked up the plan document on the desk, the department had taken this company as the focus of investment in the near future, and the plan had been prepared, just waiting to observe the situation after its charge. In this situation, the plan needs to be redone, and a well-funded startup may be much less urgent to acquire and inject capital.

Almost at the same time, in the conference room of Goldman Sachs' China representative office in the Jianghai financial district, a foreigner stood at the forefront, writing two figures of 10 million and 1 million on an electronic white screen, he pointed to these two numbers and said, "Everyone here, please pay attention to these two figures, this is a newly established company, only one week to create results." I'm sure you've all heard of the unicorn theory, which refers to companies that are at the top of the vertical market, and they may have a market capitalization of more than $1 billion before they even go public. Well, this company is going to be the most beautiful unicorn we've ever seen. The boss of the Hong Kong headquarters will come to Jianghai City tomorrow to meet with the founder of this company. I think you should be aware of the importance that Headquarters attaches to this project. Now, immediately, right now, go and get everything you need to prepare! ”

The same scenario is playing out in a number of well-known venture capital firms in the industry. These VCs, who are accustomed to playing a reserved role in front of many entrepreneurs, are attracted to the same company this time.

There is no way, who makes the performance of this company's products so unexpected, and it can be said that the founder's accumulation is profitable in a week, but the technical content of the product is enough to open up a new market, and no one is invincible. In the eyes of these venture capitalists, Infinite Future is a shining gold mine.

……

Because he slept late the night before, Chen Wenhao went out a little late on Monday morning. After inquiring about Xiaoka, he learned that although the new programming language was adopted, it was established on the basis of the existing programming technology of human beings in combination with the information of the surveyor database, and it could also be learned with his knowledge structure. This surprised him very much, and he asked Xiaoka to get a study material for the first time and studied it for most of the night.

The car was only halfway when Fang Yuxin's call came, "Boss, the company has several waves of guests, nearly 20 people, all of whom are venture capital companies, and they all say that they want to negotiate business with you." ”

It's coming so fast! Sure enough, you can't underestimate the sense of smell of venture capital companies. Chen Wenhao thought in his heart, he arranged for Fang Yuxin, "You go to the people in the park, ask them to rent a conference room, bring all the guests over, and I will be there in a while." ”

In Chen Wenhao's plan, there is no place for a venture capital company at this stage, and venture capital can bring nothing more than capital, technology and management to startups.

In terms of funds, as long as the translation software can maintain the current trend, it is a cash cow, enough to support the company's next move.

In terms of technology, can no matter how good it is compared with an alien civilization that can already travel interstellarly?

As for management, he has been in the industry for so many years, and it is not uncommon to see companies that were full of vitality when they started up, and they were dull after taking venture capital. However, well-known venture capital funds are inextricably linked to many Internet giants or have equity behind them, and if the intention of cooperation is conveyed by the right intermediary, it is much more efficient than going directly to the door.

After arriving at the software park, Chen Wenhao went directly to the conference hall of the park, Fang Yuxin was guarding the door of the conference hall, and hurriedly greeted him as soon as he saw him, "Boss, you are finally here, as soon as the company opened early in the morning, they came." Just arranged, the park also arranged two conference staff to help. She took out a sticky note from her jeans pocket and handed it over, pointing to the conference room, "There are people from six companies in total, in addition to venture capital, Tencent and Baidu also have people, and I wrote the specific names on the paper." ”

Chen Wenhao took a look, good guys, IDG, SoftBank, Goldman Sachs, Sequoia four well-known venture capital funds, plus Tencent, Baidu's strategic investment departments, are enough to open a high-level Internet venture capital summit. In the industry, any start-up company can look up to and respect, but now they are gathered together for their own company, and their hearts are full of pride.

He glanced at Fang Yuxin, she was looking at herself expectantly, and couldn't help but smile, "I'll go talk to them, you should hurry up and recruit people, the business in the future is estimated to be busier, and I will tell you when the specific positions are vacant, you can also make a list first." By the way, it is preferential to hire a front desk or administrative assistant to share the reception work. After thinking for a while, he added, "Jin Wei, I arranged for him to do something in the morning, you call him to talk about the situation, and let him come here to participate when it is done." In addition, find a hotel nearby to arrange lunch for so many people. ”

"No problem, boss, I'll get in touch when I get back to the office." Fang Yuxin smiled and agreed.

Chen Wenhao straightened his clothes and pushed open the door of the conference room. Although the sign hanging at the door is a conference room, the layout is actually more like a small lecture hall, with a rostrum on top and five rows of tables and chairs below, which can accommodate about 100 people, and now there are less than 20 people sitting sparsely. Although there were not many people, they were clearly divided into six areas.

With Chen Wenhao's action of opening the door, everyone's eyes in the conference room shifted. "Hello everyone, I am the person in charge of Infinite Future Technology Company, Chen Wenhao."

……

Rewind the clock to a few hours ago.

Tencent's Wu Ruitian flew to Jianghai City overnight with two department colleagues after a departmental meeting yesterday, and rushed to the door of this future technology company at half past eight in the morning. Some media may not be able to find the address, and Tencent, as a domestic Internet giant, is not a market intelligence department.

"We seem to have come a little early, and the other party hasn't started work yet." Xiao Cui is the legal counsel of the investment department, and he did not follow up on this project before, and he was only temporarily arranged after the meeting yesterday.

"I'm not afraid to come early, I'm afraid to come late, not to mention that this can better reflect our sincerity." Wu Ruitian understands the importance that the company attaches to this project, and yesterday's department meeting shocked even the big boss Lao Ma. The three-person team sent this time included him, the project audit manager, Xiao Liu, the commissioner who was in charge of following up the project, and Xiao Cui, the legal counsel who joined temporarily, to handle the contract and legal affairs on the spot. Generally speaking, when you first contact a company with investment intentions, you can send a project specialist like Xiao Liu. He now hopes that the other companies will react more slowly and let him take the lead.

It's a pity that the wishes are often beautiful, but the reality is cruel. After a while, Wu Ruitian saw the teams from Baidu Investment, Sequoia China, Goldman Sachs China, etc. arriving one after another, and sighed secretly, he still took the initiative to come forward to say hello, they were all mixed in this circle, basically knew each other, at least they were familiar with each other. When greeting each other, everyone's goal is really the same.

It didn't take long for the employees of this company to go to work, and a young female employee received them. Wu Ruitian had the opportunity to observe the inside of this company, which is similar to most start-ups, with a small area, not many people, and not even a conference room, but who would have thought that such an inconspicuous company would create achievements that shook the entire industry, and had even more amazing room for growth.

He clenched the briefcase in his hand, which contained a personal investigation about Chen Wenhao, looking around at the major companies around him, there were more wolves and less meat, his brain was running quickly, what advantages should he use to attract and impress Chen Wenhao.

Not long after the group moved to the conference room in the park, the door was pushed open, and the people who came said hello to everyone, Wu Ruitian and a group of people stood up when they heard the voice: Hey, after waiting for a long time, the main owner is finally here!
