As the venture capital arm of BlueInvestment, it has of course received many applications in the few months since its establishment.
At the end of the year, news came out on Wall Street that Lan Yin Investment had a cash income of 3 billion U.S. dollars, and Lan Yin Film had a cash income of about 8 billion yuan. Although the selection criteria of the Forbes Rich List will not change, it cannot change the old gangster's public behavior.
He became the "richest man in China" with his "cash holdings" instead of "stock assets".
During the working week at the beginning of the new year, the old gangster went to the CEO office of Lanyin Investment to "concern" Wang Zixuan's work situation.
Wang Zixuan handed the application plan that the venture capital department thought was worth "investing money" to the old gangster. The old gangster simply flipped through it. When he saw a name, he smiled.
At that time, he sighed in his heart: The situation in this world has really changed a lot!
"Li Yifan, why are you laughing? As soon as I see you smiling like this, I know that you have no good intentions. Either you are taking advantage of the girl you want to marry, or you are planning to steal other people's money!" Wang Zixuan said.
The old gangster said: "This Shi Zhengrong wants 8 million US dollars in venture capital? He has a big appetite!"
Damn it, when I was trading stocks in my previous life, I analyzed the solar sector stocks for a while, and I was deeply impressed by Shi Zhengrong and Peng Xiaofeng, especially Shi Zhengrong. This person is an authentic turtle, a genuine overseas Ph.D., who studied under the Nobel Prize
The winner has probably published more than 100 papers during his more than ten years of studying abroad. In his previous life, he seemed to have returned to China in 2000 and would establish Suntech Solar Power Co., Ltd. at the beginning of this year. However, this company was in his previous life.
It seems to be a joint venture. Of course, there will be capital injections from industrial companies and venture capital companies after returning to China. I don’t remember how much it was now. But, haha, it is definitely not like this, applying for financing to Lanyin Investment Company!
But Wang Zixuan interrupted his "reminiscences": "This man has a good resume. He studied for a doctorate at the University of New South Wales in Australia. Take a look at his papers. He has published more than 140 papers. He is from the Venture Capital Department.
The employee checked and found that his doctorate degree and the number of papers are authentic and reliable. He once worked for his mentor Martin Green's Pacific Solar Co., Ltd., served as a technical director, and invented more than 10 solar cell technology patents. How can I say this?
Well, haha, he should be considered a first-class scientist in the international field of solar cells."
The old gangster nodded and said: "His mentor is not simple, he is also a Nobel Prize winner!"
Wang Zixuan asked doubtfully: "Is there any? When did Martin Green win the Nobel Prize?"
Oops, I leaked the secret. It seems that Martin Green won the award in 2002. Damn, I told you in advance! The old gangster thought like this and chuckled: "I said it wrong. To be precise, this professor has a
Twice on the shortlist."
Wang Zixuan said: "Well, Shi Zhengrong is still an idealist. Look at his self-introduction in the application report!"
After reading through it, the old gangster smiled and said: "Yes, China's photovoltaic industry is relatively backward in the world! Shi Zhengrong can return from his studies with the idea of changing this situation and doing something for the country and the people.
Ideally, we should approve his application."
Wang Zixuan said: "Well, a talented person with skills and ideals is not someone who talks big words. So do you think the equity structure he proposed is reasonable?"
"Well, he invested US$400,000 in cash, and invested US$1.6 million in technical shares to obtain 20% of the shares?" asked the old gangster.
Damn it, I can no longer remember whether it was this number in my previous life, the old gangster sighed in his heart.
"Well, we need to provide 8 million US dollars! I think his application is okay. However, haven't you always believed in not having absolute control?" Wang Zixuan said.
"Generally speaking, it is like this, but since Shi Zhengrong returned to China with idealism, I think our 80% will not affect his entrepreneurial passion. We can guarantee that after the listing in the future, he will own at least 20%
shares. In addition, we will not interfere with his management!" The old gangster said: "Haha, but no idealism can withstand the temptation of money!"
The old gangster recalled his previous life. Before going public on Wall Street, this company would be acquired by foreign funds. Several local Chinese companies that had participated in the investment were completely eliminated. It seems that when they were eliminated, they would have gained ten times the investment income, haha.
, these companies that have been eliminated may still think that it is great to have 10 times investment income in more than 4 years, right? It is a pity that they were all calculated by foreigners. After being eliminated, the company started its journey to go public. Alas, I want to come now
, Mr. Shi’s so-called sentiment of serving the country and the people is nothing more than this!
But if you think about it differently, it doesn’t matter who the money is earned from. If it is earned by local state-owned enterprises, not much money will be distributed to ordinary people in China. It is estimated that a lot of it will be embezzled. It will be earned by foreigners, Suntech
With the help of these foreigners, the company can successfully go public on Wall Street and make money smoothly. Then these international funds will speculate on Suntech for their own benefit. The more they speculate, the higher the stock price will be, and the higher the stock price will be.
The development and growth of Suntech will be more beneficial.
It is estimated that it will be very difficult to rely on local state-owned enterprises in China to run Suntech's listing!
Just imagine, the shareholders of your Suntech Company are all local Chinese companies. The Americans who have no interest in it will probably not let you list on Nasdaq at all! Let alone speculate for you for free after the listing!
Alas, I have figured it out. There is no free lunch in the world, and there is no pie-in-the-sky thing. In the capital market, if there is no speculation, it is difficult for the stock price to rise! I will have to participate in such speculation in the future for Lan Yin Investment.
game.
So, what’s more, everyone has to share the meat. If my industrial company wants to enter the international market or be listed overseas, it will inevitably have to give some overseas funds or investment companies a taste of the benefits.
When everyone gathers materials, the flames are high. My aunt said that we should accumulate connections and cultivate the seeds of our thoughts. I guess this is the truth!
....
Therefore, in 2001, the first investment of the venture capital department of Lanyin Investment was finalized. On the afternoon of the next day, the manager of the venture capital department appeared in Liangxi City, Jiangnan Province with a few people.
Of course, the old gangster who is now a billionaire really wants to go to Liangxi to see in person this legendary figure who once ranked first on the list of China's richest people in his previous life. However, in this life, the old gangster feels that he cannot "lose his worth" too much.
Of course, this is not because the old gangster feels good about himself, but as the boss of Lanyin Group, a big boss who is rumored to have 30 billion yuan in cash, he really shouldn't go to meet a man for 8 million US dollars.
"Investment Applicant".
Of course, the old gangster has already kept this "risk investment" in mind!
The old gangster attaches so much importance to this investment. On the one hand, it is because this investment is indeed profitable. He remembers that in his previous life, this company had a market value of nearly 10 billion US dollars. In this life, he invested 8 million US dollars, accounting for 80% of the investment.
Shares, perhaps in the next two years, additional investment will be required, or in order to motivate executives, allocate shares to them, or in order to attract other fund companies, the 80% equity will become 70% or 60%, or even 40%.
But this investment will yield at least hundreds of times investment income!
Of course, not all of this income can be cashed out.
But what the old gangster values more is that he can take this opportunity to diversify the business of Lanyin Group!
What the old rogue is thinking is, don’t I have a great aunt? I have never heard of the conversion efficiency of solar monocrystalline silicon and polycrystalline silicon exceeding 25% in the previous life. Now that I have a great aunt, she will give her some advice and it will be over 50% soon.
, but if it really reaches this ratio, it is estimated that it will cause an energy revolution. If there is an energy revolution, the Yankee oil companies and consortiums and the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries will probably jump over the wall in a hurry, and maybe launch a war. In that case, the world will be absolutely dominant.
There will be a sudden change. Before 2010, I don’t hope that the world will change suddenly. However, increasing the conversion efficiency by 10 points will not cause an energy revolution. In this way, Lanyin Group will have a lot of money. It will definitely be better than in the previous life.
Suntech makes more money!
In addition, don’t I want to enter the chip industry? Of course, the polycrystalline silicon of the chip requires higher purity, but if I enter the solar energy industry, I will definitely have to develop polycrystalline R&D and production business. In this way, won’t I be able to accumulate experience for the chip industry?
Some technical basics?
Hey, by then, polycrystalline silicon with a purity of six nines will be used to make solar panels, and polycrystalline silicon with a purity of nine nines or more will be used to make chips. I am a "six-nine", and I will grab the "nine-nine" technology!
However, in its previous life, Suntech did not seem to produce polycrystalline silicon. Its main business was to buy crystalline silicon, slice it, and make various solar cells. It was an upstream enterprise. As for the "downstream enterprises" that produce crystalline silicon, it seems that
Peng Xiaofeng from Jiangxi Saiwei did it.
Upstream enterprises have no pollution and are high-tech green enterprises; downstream enterprises are of course also high-tech, but when purifying crystalline silicon, they discharge sewage "laden with" chemical substances. How serious the pollution is! In the previous life, it is said that the country after 2008
Companies have begun to be prohibited from participating in downstream investments in the production and purification of crystalline silicon.
Also, with solar cells, my future smart cars will also be a big help...
At this time, Shi Zhengrong certainly did not want to engage in the crystalline silicon purification business. According to his thinking, Liangxi was his hometown, and he was unwilling to open a "downstream" factory with sewage flowing across the river in this beautiful place in the south of the Yangtze River.
Under the instruction of Wang Zixuan, the manager of Lanyin's venture capital department certainly did not recommend Shi Zhengrong to develop "downstream". What Shi Zhengrong wanted to do was of course his strength, the "upstream development" of polycrystalline silicon.
Where is the old gangster? Since the venture capital department went to Liangxi, he has also been thinking that the purification business of crystalline silicon must be carried out. Although there is pollution, it is the only way to produce chips in the future. A factory with such serious pollution
Where should we drive it? We definitely can’t drive it to my hometown to harm the fellow villagers. It seems that we can only drive it to the chemical industry city in China that is already very polluted and has broken tanks.
One more polluting company is not a lot, and one less polluting company is not a lot!
As for the chip manufacturing companies that will not pollute in the future, have mastered the core technology, and are known as the pearls in the technology industry chain, officials and people will applaud and welcome them wherever they are built. But this is still early, at least until next year.
Bar.
After leaving Wang Zixuan's Lanyin Investment, I drove the Audi A8 back. After thinking about it in the pavilion last time and listening to the theme song sung by Xiao Huiqi, the old gangster now regarded himself as "relatively light."
", he felt that there was no need to "feel too good about himself". He felt that as soon as he went out, he would be surrounded by reporters and people like heroes.
He thought that in this world, even if there were such heroes, ordinary people were most concerned about themselves and would not pay attention to what the "hero" ate and drank all day long. After watching the "hero", he was excited.
They shouted a few times, fought their way through the crowd to get an autograph, and touched the hand of the "hero". Then what? These people still have to go home and do whatever they need to do, or they still have to worry about food, rice, food and salt.
, won’t wash their hands for a month, and won’t hold that autograph and appreciate it all day long. Even if there are one or two such people, they are probably the "Yang Lijuan" who made the old father jump into the sea.
Why does the angel fly so high? It's because it takes itself very lightly!
The old gangster was in the car and suddenly remembered these words.
I received a call from Brother Zhang, and he said, Yifan, haha, the financial statements of the Internet cafe and computer store last year came out, haha, I made a little money, and the elder brother is too embarrassed to bother you, do you see?
The old gangster was in Xiao Hun Qi's room, hugging her and chewing her. After receiving the call, he smiled and said, Brother Zhang, no matter how small a mosquito's arm is, it's still meat, but I won't take the money back and put it there for use.
Expand. This year, chain Internet cafes should expand.
Brother Zhang smiled and said, haha, do you really not want it? There is a profit of nearly 30 million yuan!
The old gangster was surprised and said, no way, Internet cafes and computer stores have so much profit?
Brother Zhang smiled and said, you, no wonder your girlfriend said that you are a hands-off shopkeeper! Last year's profits mainly came from computer stores. Of course, Internet cafes alone cannot make so much. The three Internet cafes earned less than 2 million, and the profits mainly came from
In the computer store. Haha, the computers purchased by your Lanyin Group and Luyin Real Estate are all shipped from our computer store. You are the major shareholder of the computer store, so the computers are also in accordance with our previous agreement.
A preferential price was given, but even so, there was still a profit of 28 million yuan in the account.
The old gangster sighed, "Really? How much can you earn from a computer?"
Brother Zhang smiled and said, the computer market is doing well this year. In addition, the computers you provide are of high quality, with an average price of 30,000 yuan. On the market, a computer at this price has a profit of at least 10,000 to 12,000 yuan.
. Even after the discount, we will have a profit of nearly 5,000 yuan per unit. Haha, Yifan, you are sending money to me and Uncle Taozi!
The old gangster laughed and said, "How can you call it a gift of money? I have seen the computers used by Lan Yin Investment and the previous Lan Yin Animation. They are all top-notch configurations. You get what you pay for. Animation design of Lan Yin Movie"
Staff are still complaining about insufficient computer configuration.
Brother Zhang smiled and said, then how do you decide? Should you invest your money in a computer or an Internet cafe?
The old hooligan said that three computer shops are enough, so let’s invest in an Internet cafe.
Brother Zhang said, haha, if you invest fully, the equity may have to be changed. Yifan, your business is so big now, do you still care about a small Internet cafe chain?
The old gangster heard what he meant. Brother Zhang really wanted to "chain" Internet cafes all over the country, but he was suffering from insufficient funds, but he didn't want to dilute his shares too much. Although the diluted shares, the commission earned is more than the diluted shares.
The front one is even higher.
But then it doesn’t count as our own company. Brother Zhang said to Sister Li more than once, money is something that you can earn as much as you earn. The key is to earn comfortably. We have a chain of Internet cafes that we control. Even if I go to work every day,
No matter how busy I am, I feel fulfilled. If my shares were diluted to 20% and I became a senior executive, I might not have the energy to be busy anymore.
The old gangster said at this time, Brother Zhang, hehe, then you should take your time, according to the previous equity ratio. As for the money, I will lend it to you. Hehe, for the next three consecutive years, my part of the dividend will be
I'll lend it to you to expand the scale, but it will cost interest, which is the interest rate of a three-year fixed deposit in the bank. When I deposit it with you, it doesn't count as a loan.
Grandma, Brother Zhang, brother, I will help you. Internet cafes and computer stores can be regarded as my first business after my rebirth. You and Uncle Taozi can also be regarded as my two first partners.
Brother Zhang was overjoyed when he heard this. He thought, if Yifan lends me money, he will probably be able to lend me at least 60 million in three years, so that the Internet cafe can be expanded.
So he said, Yifan, thank you so much. Don’t worry, I will definitely pay you back the money.
