Thanks to Zhang Zhonghua's promise of more money and repeated urgings, and because the people of the country have not yet thought that "rich people cannot be promiscuous" like in the new century, the office building of yh Software Company was finally completed ahead of schedule.
All the staff of yh software have finally moved from the rented office space to the new company address. The building of yh software Santa Clara headquarters and possibly even the American headquarters of Yuhuang Group has finally been completed.
Henry Morey was shocked and speechless when he looked at the company's headquarters. Our company, including clerks, has less than 400 people in total. How can the boss build such a big place? The per capita area has reached more than 3 acres. This is
What a spacious office environment.
Is the Jade Emperor Group so arrogant? Henry Morey felt that he must hug this thick thigh tightly.
"There are temporary residences for company employees in the park. At present, our company cannot use such a large land, so we will let everyone live there first. In the future, when the company has more employees, it will be demolished."
Zhang Zhonghua explained to Henry.
Of course, those apartments are prepared for the singles in Zhang Zhonghua's company. They can all live in them when they recruit people in the future. The land is so large that it cannot be used, but it cannot be wasted.
"Boss, this office area is too big. What should I do if there is so much space?"
Henry Morey asked, thinking that if the boss was so arrogant, he would not leave it empty like this.
"Well, we can rent the vacant offices to some small companies, which can also provide them with some convenient conditions. At the same time, the group headquarters will also set up a venture fund. If a suitable project is found, the group can also participate in investment.
"
Zhang Zhonghua is not a saint. He sees that small companies are struggling to survive, so he helps them.
Moreover, he is planning to set up a venture capital company. Finding potential companies among these small companies is Zhang Zhonghua's biggest purpose.
There are too many Internet and other computer-related giants in the future in the Stanford Industrial Park and Silicon Valley, and he wants to establish the first venture capital company in Silicon Valley.
If he could invest in angel rounds of dozens or hundreds of companies, and if only a small part of them could succeed, he would make a lot of money.
Zhang Zhonghua can provide those companies with a good working environment and promote the rapid development of the technology industry. In this way, everyone does not have to work hard to start a business in a garage like many companies. They come directly to me for investment and support the development of the computer industry.
"It's really good to set up venture capital. If we can find some companies with potential, we can get hundreds of times the return after the company goes public."
Henry Moremore thought for a moment and agreed with Zhang Zhonghua's idea.
He found that the boss was really awesome. No wonder the company was so big and beautiful. The park alone could attract many companies to settle in.
"Boss, what's the name of the venture capital company?"
Zhang Zhonghua was confused when he heard the name. He had chosen a useless name. It would definitely not be possible to go directly to Jade Emperor Capital. It was obviously Yanxia Company.
Of course, the venture capital company must be registered in an overseas offshore paradise. How about using the name of the venture capital company that already exists later?
For example, Masayoshi Son SoftBank? If he continues to establish a company in the future, he will give it another name. If he can think of such a good name, he will definitely be able to think of other good names.
Son Zhengyi, I am optimistic about you!!!
What’s more, SoftBank is a great name. It’s simple and elegant, and others can understand it as soon as they hear it.
"The venture capital company is called SoftBank Capital, which is also a software bank."
Zhang Zhonghua said to him.
Henry Morey and Dimitri Zverev looked at each other. They thought the name was great. Their boss was a super software genius, and using this name was in line with the boss's outstanding abilities.
Venture capital, also known as venture capital, mainly provides funds to small start-up companies to obtain some shares of these small companies.
Of course, most of the funds of venture capital companies are used to invest in new ventures or unlisted companies. They only invest in the company and do not interfere in the company's daily operations. Of course, the venture capital company also needs to provide professional knowledge and experience and help the company go public.
Of course, people will not accept your investment if you are rich. Just like a nouveau riche coal boss investing in Lao Ma’s Alibaba, Lao Ma will basically not accept investment from the nouveau riche no matter how short of money he is.
Accepting your investment will not attract customers to increase your reputation, nor will it help the company expand the market.
If you invest in Xiao Ma, you may get some shares, because some of Xiao Ma's news requires users to have users. To be famous and famous, you are simply short of money. However, you will also be kicked out after the company develops.
In the end, venture capital is there to help companies.
And Zhang Zhonghua is undoubtedly a super tycoon and an excellent computer practitioner. Isn't it easy to provide some professional knowledge?
The Yuhuang Group under Zhang Zhonghua also operates and develops in many fields, and its experience is even more trivial.
SoftBank Capital has the support of Zhang Zhonghua, YH Software Company, and Yuhuang Group, and its reputation in Silicon Valley is definitely strong. Furthermore, it is first-come-first-serve and should gain the trust of many entrepreneurs.
The reason why venture capital is called venture capital is because there is a lot of uncertainty in venture capital, which brings great risks to the investment and its returns.
】
The risks of venture capital are not worth mentioning to Zhang Zhonghua. Not to mention eight out of ten, as long as he catches a future unicorn, he will make a lot of money.
Zhang Zhonghua has heard about, if not knows, well-known companies in Silicon Valley.
The world's well-known venture capital companies, DFJ, Chouguo International Data, Carlyle Investments, KPCB, IDG Capital, Sequoia Capital, DCM Venture Capital, Matrix Partners, etc., have been established now. Zhang Zhonghua doesn't know how many, but Chouguo
Perhaps America's most successful venture capital firm, Sequoia Capital, wasn't founded until several years later.
I have a bright future with SoftBank capital, and I don’t know if I can beat Goldman Sachs in the future, but Son Masayoshi probably doesn’t have much of a chance.
Speaking of venture capital, Zhang Zhonghua thought of private equity investment, also commonly referred to as PE.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Private equity investment is an equity investment in unlisted companies through private equity funds.
During the transaction implementation process, PE will also consider the future exit mechanism, which is to exit and make profits through the company's initial public offering of shares, mergers and acquisitions, or management buybacks.
To put it simply, PE investment means that PE investors look for outstanding high-growth unlisted companies, inject capital into them, obtain a certain proportion of their shares, promote the development of the company, go public, and then make profits by transferring the equity.
In layman's terms, unlisted companies sell some original shares to some well-known international institutions. The purpose is of course to increase the issue price during the company's IPO and create a better listing.
VC is the company's investment in enterprises in various stages such as seed stage, start-up stage, development stage, expansion stage, maturity stage and pre-IPO;
PE mainly refers to the private equity investment part of mature enterprises that have formed a certain scale and generated stable cash flow. It mainly refers to private equity investment in the later stage of venture capital investment.
Think about it, a few decades later, as soon as you enter a company, the boss will start drawing big cakes and feeding you chicken soup.
Of course, there are some companies that are so awesome that venture capital companies are almost crying. Round A, round B, round C, round D, round E, round F, and I think they will be listed in round Z.
In the field of venture capital, what Zhang Zhonghua admires the most is Lao Jia, who is really good at deceiving a large number of investors with just a ppt, but in the end he just slapped his ass and ran away.
YH Software Company, which settled in its new office location, also held a grand opening ceremony and invited many companies and institutions in San Francisco. With the arrival of some of these well-known companies and institutions, the entire opening ceremony seemed quite grand.
Computer schools at Stanford University, University of San Francisco, University of California at Berkeley, Santa Clara and other universities sent many representatives, and IBM and Wangan Computer Company also sent opening flower baskets.
The three founders of Intel, Robert Noins, Gordon Moore, and Andy Grove, came in person, and several publishing houses also sent people from their branches to congratulate.
Robert Noins, Gordon Moore, and Andy Grove looked at the huge company and were secretly envious. Their own Intel company on the other side of the road was really too shabby. Without comparison, there would be no harm. If there was a chance,
A building has to be built.
"Publishing companies like Random House Publishing and Pearson Education Group are also here. The opening battle of yh is too big! What does it have to do with yh software?"
Andy Grove looked at a few familiar faces in the distance and couldn't help but said.
"Andy, don't forget that Zhang Zhonghua not only published three textbooks on the imf database, uni system and c language, but he is also a world-renowned author, and his books are best-sellers all over the world."
Gordon Moore said with envy, is it really good for a science fiction writer to cross over into computers?
"Yes, he probably earns tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars every year just from the copyright of these books and textbooks.
As for the headquarters he built, the land purchase and construction costs were only 40 million US dollars, which was not money at all to him."
Robert Noynes introduced Zhang Zhonghua’s royalties income, his eyes full of envy.
Gordon Moore and Andy Grove felt a sense of sadness in their hearts. The annual profits of many listed companies in Chou Country were probably not as high as Zhang Zhonghua's royalty income.
Zhang Zhonghua took everyone to visit the park first. Each company representative was scolding for a while. There is such a big park in the company, and there is also a single apartment. The environment is too comfortable.
There are also basketball courts, badminton courts, tennis courts, baseball fields, and even golf courses and football fields. Those who didn’t know it thought it was a sports center.
Then everyone visited the company's office area under the leadership of Zhang Zhonghua. The office area made everyone go crazy.
The R&D center covers an area of nearly 200 acres. Yh Software Company has only more than 300 technical personnel in total. A R&D center of one acre can meet the needs. What do you want to do by building a R&D center of almost 200 acres?
The most outrageous thing is that the office area not only has a small kitchen, but also provides a variety of snacks and drinks for free. Is the treatment at YH Software Company so good?
The representative from IBM was also a little surprised. Zhang Zhonghua's YH Software Company had more types of snacks and drinks than IBM. However, YH only has a total of 300 people. The snacks and drinks provided were very simple.
"Mr. Zhang Zhonghua, with so many vacant offices, are they going to be rented out?"
In the eyes of many people, Zhang Zhonghua is a super tycoon, and he should look down on the rent. The licensing fee for C language is a large sum of money every year, not to mention that the sales volume of the imf database is also good now.
"Yes. I will rent out half of the space at a relatively low price to help those businesses that are just starting out and are still weak.
Many companies started in the miserable environment of garages, and the idle offices here provide convenience for some companies.
At the same time, I also plan to set up a venture capital company here to help valuable companies get rid of financial difficulties and get on the right track as soon as possible."
Zhang Zhonghua feels as if he has transformed into an angel in white. He is truly a kind-hearted entrepreneur, philanthropist, helping those in need, and a moral model.
However, Zhang Zhonghua's attitude made many people couldn't help but criticize, "You can play venture capital if you want. Why do you say it so noble?"
However, even if you make a thousand times your bet, the loss of betting on the wrong bet is still a small amount of money for you. As long as one of the ten projects succeeds, you will not lose money.
No one thinks that Zhang Zhonghua's vision is so bad that if he invests ten dollars and throws away ten, he can then use it as a dark light in the industry.
The three founders of Intelligent's eyes lit up when they heard Zhang Zhonghua's words. Robert Noynes, Gordon Moore, and Andy Grove looked at each other with a little smile on their faces.
Intel's starting capital is only US$00,000. In the future, it will continue to recruit talents and establish a wafer company. This amount of money seems to be just a drop in the bucket.
It would be a good idea to invite Zhang Zhonghua's VC company to participate in Intel's A-round financing. If you are so familiar with it, you will definitely help increase the company's valuation.
No one is unmoved by Intel, but Intel's founding trio still want to keep things simple.
If Intel has a major shareholder named Yan Xiaren, it is conceivable that it will face huge resistance when it goes public in the future. The result will be that either the listing fails, or Zhang Zhonghua is kicked out before the listing.
And although Intel is still in the soy sauce stage now, it will grow stronger sooner or later in the future, and then cooperate with the U.S. military industry department.
Even if Zhang Zhonghua is interested in Intel, he may not be able to invest if he wants to, and he may even be restricted from leaving the country by the U.S. government.
The opening ceremony of yh company began soon. Henry Morey, CEO of yh software, also grandly introduced the company's new product-CAD software. The new design concept still attracted great attention.
The CAD software of YH Software Company is an integrated system, and it is very convenient to install the auxiliary modules required by various industries on the common basic version.
CAD software has been developed in architectural design, electronics and electrical, mechanical design, clothing industry, publishing industry, civil construction and other fields, and is constantly entering various subdivisions. It is both general and professional, and the effect is still good.
