Chapter 019: VC Venture Capital with Fast Action
Before the annual International Electronics Exhibition, no one would have thought that holographic technology would be exploded at the exhibition, which amazed every audience with a fake three-dimensional picture, and also amazed every investor.
He Hao and others are happy in their hearts, not to mention anything else, the development and growth of coastline technology also means that their future and future are limitless, and they can step into a broader platform.
"Mr. Ye was stunned to introduce the product on the spot, and the coffee position in the science and technology circle will have a place for our BOSS in the future." Mo Daixuan said with a look of admiration, Ye Hua was indeed quite a science and technology celebrity at the exhibition.
"Okay, okay, I'm being praised, it's not going to help you get a raise." Ye Hua said with a smile, everyone was lively for a while, and then immediately put themselves into work, staying in a promising company, and he was also a veteran of this company, and Jing Ping's enthusiasm became more and more energetic.
Ye Hua was not too happy about the success of Coastline Technology at the electronics show, which was not a real success and did not bring much practical benefit to the company's current situation.
If Coastline Technology wants to initially stabilize the situation, it must be commercialized, and the first corporate revenue profit can be regarded as a real start.
There is no doubt that the next product is the top priority, and the steady progress of the plan requires manpower, the company is now only nine people, except for Qiao Wei, who is Ye Hua's secretary, He Hao and the seven of them are both doing the work of programmers and administrators, after all, it is not a long-term solution, and it is imperative to expand recruitment.
Not long after returning to the company, it was almost time to get off work, but at this time, Coastline Technology welcomed a guest for the first time.
"Mr. Ye, two people from the company who claim to be VC venture capitalists want to meet with you." Qiao Wei came to the CEO's office and reported.
Ye Hua heard her change her name and said with a smile: "Just call me by my name, you don't need to call Mr. Ye Mr. Ye." ”
"That's not good, Coastline Technology is a serious technology company, everything has to have rules, you are the big boss of the company, I'm just a secretary of yours, how can I do it." Qiao Wei smiled and said, "However, when I'm not at work, I'll still be the same in private." ”
"That's fine." After thinking for a while, Ye Hua nodded with a smile, although Qiao Wei did not have any work experience in the secretarial position, but so far, she has done a good job in this new job, and there is basically nothing to find fault with.
Leaving the office with Qiao Wei, the people from the venture capital agency actually moved so fast, and the means were also good, and they found the company address of Coastline Technology in such a short period of time and everyone came.
In this regard, Ye Hua was more surprised but not surprised, the sense of smell of capital is keen, and the computational holographic technology made a stunning appearance on the industry stage like the annual International Electronics Exhibition, and the names of Ye Hua and Coastline Technology may have already spread in the investment circle.
The computational holographic effect presented at the exhibition can be said to amaze the science and technology circle, holographic image technology, which is a technology with infinite imagination space, which is the charm of holographic technology.
The guests are now waiting in the waiting room, and the office area of Coastline Technology has reached nearly 1,000 square meters, and a reception room of dozens of square meters will definitely not be lacking.
"It's really surprising, it's actually in the center building, there is no thousands of companies that can't run in a year, it's not like a startup can afford it, does the founder have a background?" Or from which research institution? ”
"Our people are investigating and collecting his information, and to be able to develop real holographic technology, there must be something extraordinary that we can't see, and it is not excluded that there is a scientific research institution and team behind it." ”
"Holographic technology, what an attractive technology this is, it is estimated that the capital staring at the coastline has been unbearable." ”
"Naturally. ”
With Ye Hua's arrival, the two VC venture capitalists waiting in the reception room stopped their private discussions, and a middle-aged man in a formal suit led by him suddenly got up and stretched out his hand to shake Ye Hua with a smiling face, "Fortunately, Mr. Ye's youth is really shocking, but what is even more shocking is your company's computational holographic image technology, which can be described as shocking to the audience, and I am shocked when I think back to this day." ”
Ye Hua directly omitted to introduce himself, and it was not surprising that the other party could know his name, after all, the name Ye Hua was estimated to be well-known in the investment circle.
The middle-aged man immediately said, "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself." Shen Taoli is the current head of Greater China at IDG Technology Venture Capital Fund. ”
IDG Venture Capital, this company Ye Hua understands, founded in 1992 a venture capital institution, is one of the first venture capital institutions to enter the Greater China region, has invested in more than 300 enterprises in China, many well-known Internet companies in China have their investment figures, such as the largest social network company in China, the largest search engine, the largest security software, etc., there are more than 80 companies successfully listed or merger and acquisition.
IDG invests in a wide range of fields, in addition to Internet companies, such as consumer goods, services, healthcare, clean energy, etc.
After a polite meeting, Shen Taoli inquired in a curious tone: "I don't know which scientific research laboratory your company's computational holographic technology comes from?" IDG Ventures has been paying attention to the development of holographic technology, but I really can't think of where your company's technology comes from. ”
"Thought Lab!" Ye Hua replied.
Shen Taoli and the assistant beside him were stunned when they heard this, looking at each other, a little confused, and when they looked at Ye Hua again and wanted to ask, the latter nodded his head with a smile.
"Uh......" Shen Taoli was slightly stunned again, but quickly reacted, and suddenly said politely in embarrassment: "Incredible, I didn't expect the holographic technology to come from Mr. Ye's hand, uh, take the liberty of asking, Mr. Ye, which university did you graduate from?" ”
Knowing that he was still asking about peat and asking, Ye Hua wanted to open his mouth like this, and then said with a smile: "Pheasant University, it's not worth mentioning." ”
Qiao Wei on the side couldn't help but smile silently, Shen Taoli was embarrassed for the third time, understood that it was a bit rude, reorganized his words and got to the point, and said: "Presumably Mr. Ye has guessed our intentions, I will say bluntly, IDG Venture Capital believes that through internal research, it is very optimistic about the potential of your company, your company as a start-up, presumably in short supply of funds, we are very willing to share the entrepreneurial risk with your company, and provide strong financial support for your company." ”
"I want to hear about it!" Ye Hua said succinctly.
Shen Taoli nodded with a smile, and continued: "Your company is undoubtedly a unicorn enterprise, IDG Ventures is willing to obtain 20% of the shares of Coastline Technology with an investment scale of 200 million US dollars in your company's seed round investment, and in the future financing, IDG Ventures will continue to lead or follow the investment." ”
Qiao Wei on the side heard the figure of 200 million US dollars, and her heart was extremely shocked, how much does this cost, it is an astronomical amount of money when she opens her mouth, and it only accounts for 20% of the shares, why is the money so worthless? Is this how all rich people play?
Shen Taoli saw the beautiful secretary next to Ye Hua because of the surprise shown by the numbers, his heart was suddenly happy and his spirit was slightly lifted, as a VC investor, being good at observation is a necessary quality, after seeing Qiao Wei's performance, he was sure that Coastline Technology was indeed a start-up technology company, a group of young people who were technical geniuses.
200 million US dollars was so surprised, obviously he had not been exposed to huge wealth, Shen Taoli was very satisfied, but what surprised him was that Ye Hua was very calm, and he looked up to him by three points for a while, but he was also relieved, after all, he was also the founder and helmsman of Coastline Technology, and it should be so.
But because Ye Hua's youth didn't let him see there, Shen Taoli became more and more calm in his heart, and he had great confidence in grasping the initiative.
Obviously, IDG Ventures' initial valuation of Shoreline is $1 billion, which is a "unicorn" level enterprise.
