Chapter 509 [Intel's Anxiety]

After these 12 companies were exposed at this summit, they have indeed become the darling of capital and the industry's new star. Many VC institutions have quietly begun to pay attention to these 12 companies and further evaluate their investment value.

Even Silicon Valley technology giants have paid attention to this. Although these 12 companies are in the early stages, their fields are currently popular, representing a trend and future.

The strategic investment departments of technology giants such as Microsoft and Google are also tempted to invest some money and take a trap and maintain the bottom. If they do not break through the siege in the fierce competition, they will not be completely eliminated.

Well, if you find that you can't beat you, then join you. You may win, but I won't lose.

In professional terms, this is...held.

On the main stage of the summit, Luo Sheng said calmly and confidently: "Digital drives the future. Looking at the investment direction of Shengfeng Capital in recent years, it is not difficult for you to find that artificial intelligence has become the area we are most concerned about. This is also reflected in the product lines of Costa ça and Blue Star Technology. Whether it is Costa ça's "Blue Core" series processors in hardware or Blue Star Technology's open source deep learning framework in software, we have chosen R&D + investment and taken the path of diversified development."

"We believe that the computing power required for different AI tasks is different, so we must provide a variety of software and hardware collaborative optimization solutions with different characteristics in order to improve our customer experience in a targeted manner."

Speaking of this, Luo Sheng on the stage stopped and lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then raised his eyes to the audience below: "Now, Shengfeng Capital has developed the habit of investing in at least 170 startup technology companies every year, and the investment amount is basically between 15 and 21 billion US dollars per year. For the 12 startups mentioned above, Shengfeng Capital's total investment in them exceeded US$2.7 billion last year."

Many practitioners on the market are attracted by this, which means that each of these 12 companies has received an average investment of US$225 million in Shengfeng Capital, and also obtained orders from super customers such as Costa del Blue and Bluestar Technology, both supported in terms of funds and business to support their rapid growth.

In contrast, other entrepreneurs either break their legs for financing or business. The final gains of desperate stories are mostly caused by investors and customers' shaking their heads and denying them.

It's simply envious and jealous and hateful rhythm.

Luo Sheng: "...We have reason to believe that with the support of investment in these cutting-edge technologies, we will soon be able to bear fruit in many technical fields such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing services, Internet of Things devices, etc., further improve our ecological layout, and build a perfect technology moat. We look forward to everyone's joining."

The opening speech that lasted for nearly half an hour ended, and there was a burst of warm applause from the audience. The speech was not long, and it can be said that this opening speech was Luo Sheng showing off.

But it's also full of practical things.

Next, the founders of 12 companies including Lingqueyun took to the main stage of the summit, and they had 5 to 8 minutes to further tell their respective careers and their stories.

For industry insiders and VCs, it seems that they have found the direction of struggle and the focus of investment.

What Luo Sheng is doing, just follow the investment.

Then there is the exhibition conference. Shengfeng Capital provides venues and platforms to connect the major entrepreneurial teams who come to participate. They will showcase what they are doing at this three-day summit.

This year's Venture Capital Summit attracted more than 800 entrepreneurial teams from the technology field to participate, and the purpose is also clear.

Sell ​​your own products, sell your own stories, impress investors, and get angel round financing.

There are also a lot of VPNs that came to the scene today. I won’t talk about the host Shengfeng Capital. SoftBank, Goldman Sachs, Sequoia Capital and other well-known VPN institutions are also listed.

In addition to attracting the attention of investors, there are still many teams who hope to win the favor of customers and gain their popularity.

After all, the influence of Shengfeng Capital's venture capital summit has increased dramatically today. For example, Luo Sheng personally came forward to support the 12 startups today, and became the darling of the industry and capital, a rising star overnight.

However, what I am most excited about is the melon-eating crowd, especially those who participate in this kind of event for the first time. There is a sense of freshness everywhere, and we can touch on some technological products or popular cutting-edge concepts that cannot be touched in daily life.

Although they all come to see the world with a melon-eating mentality, they will undoubtedly benefit a lot. At least they may not be able to see it in the short term for broadening their horizons and cognition, but in the long run it will also be of great help to improve themselves. Spending hundreds or thousands of yuan to see cutting-edge technology is more realistic than watching a concert to improve themselves.

Almost 99% of the people who came to the scene were hardcore fans of Luo Sheng. The fans forcibly named him the title of "Architecture of Science and Technology" and claimed to be a believer under the archbishop. Luo Sheng never came out to deny that he would confirm it. Anyway, so many years have passed, everyone has started to make fun, and now they have become accustomed to it.

...

Nowadays, the grand event in front of the stage is in full swing. As time goes by, news has been heard that entrepreneurial teams have won the favor of VCs on the spot and obtained financing. The media reporters from all walks of life also spread the news here. Among the people who are eating, there are also a large number of technology up-up owners who are on the spot to record videos, including domestic and foreign.

The on-site summit became more and more popular.

However, Luo Sheng has retreated to the backstage. After the opening speech, he did not show up in the public eye and did not accept any media interviews.

In an office in the backstage, Luo Sheng and Meng Qiu, the general manager of Shengfeng Capital, were here.

"The investment projects last year were generally very good. I have already learned a lot about the companies that invested in. More than one-third were high-quality investment projects with broad prospects."

When Meng Qiu heard Luo Sheng's blunt performance, he smiled humbly, but did not say such words as "the responsibility lies in the matter," and was not surprised by praise and humiliation, but Luo Sheng appreciated it even more.

One-third of the companies invested in have room for imagination, which is a very excellent result. Not to mention that all the companies in these thirds can achieve results in the end. Even if 10% of them can finally stand out from the siege, then the money spent last year can be earned back with capital and profit, and achieve the strategic goal of building a technical moat.

Even if we take a step back, as long as the 12 companies that have just been exposed in a high-profile manner can succeed, even if the more than 100 startups below fail, it will be a great success for Shengfeng Capital.

After all, Luo Sheng’s investment layout is not a specific company, but a layout of the entire track. It doesn’t matter who the person is competing on the track.

"Mr. Luo, we noticed that Intel has continued to increase its investment since November last year, and has made frequent moves this year, starting frequent acquisitions around the world. During this period, Shengfeng Capital also had a direct collision with Intel." Meng Qiu immediately talked about some important things in the recent period and reported verbally like Luo Sheng.

However, after a moment, Meng Qiu added: "Intel's various performances over the past few months have made me feel quite anxious and uneasy, and it seems that I have encountered some big trouble. From the stock market, Intel's current market value is only US$104.1 billion, and it has been falling continuously for the past six months. I'm afraid it will fall below the 100 billion US dollar mark in no time."

Upon hearing this, Luo Sheng couldn't help but smile: "Intel, a technology giant that was once invincible in the era of personal computers, has lost extremely tragic in the era of mobile chips in the past five years. Compared with Qualcomm, which is now booming, and facing competition from emerging giants such as the Costa del Azure, I believe it is constantly learning from the pain of how to restore its former glory today. It is not strange that it has been frequent actions recently."

It is not surprising that Luo Sheng had a collision with Intel. After all, he had already started to use cell chip business layout a few years ago, intending to spy on Intel's hinterland in the kingdom, kick the toothpaste factory x86 architecture off the throne, end its dominance, and achieve the goal of the new king ascending the throne.

However, old international manufacturers like Intel are not able to beat them just by saying that they can beat them. The other party is also improving and developing.

Luo Sheng looked at Meng Qiu and asked, "By the way, you just said that Shengfeng Capital and Intel had a collision. In which field are they fighting?"
