Show off to your old rival and cheat your old rival by the way.John Doerr looked at Abel with some smug expression."
KPCB will definitely be the best partner for you and Oasis Investments!""
KPCB's investment philosophy is: professional things are done by professional people.KPCB does not interfere in management, does not interfere in R&D, and does not interfere in any specific affairs of the company!
”"And KPCB has a strong scientific research strength support from major universities!""
In cooperation with KPCB.Get support from those academic programs!
”"Bluestar Future as a high-tech company.It is in line with the biggest advantage of KPCB!
”"Mr.
Sephorosa, we are very sincere."
Abel was silent.He looked at the investors.I guess these guys shouldn't make any more offers.$21.1 billion valuation.Swap for a normal unicorn company.Even if it's the kind of potential that is off the charts.In fact, as the first round of financing.The valuation of this figure is already very good.But let's be honest.This valuation is still far from the number in Abel's heart.Bluestar can't be worth the price in the future.Such a black technology explosion.I don't know if it will happen again on Earth in the future.Is that all it takes?
But after today's round.He did understand something.You shouldn't be looking for these venture capital firms.The investment philosophy of almost all venture capital firms is to get the maximum benefit with the least amount of money and then put as many eggs in as many cages as possible.Simply put, cast a wide net.But the mesh is very small.The approach is to invest as many times as possible in exchange for low risk.For example, if you have 10 million in hand, you can invest.Many large companies choose to invest the 10 million directly in a company with very good potential, or simply a mature company that is listed.The same 10 million.The approach of venture capital companies is likely to divide the 10 million into 10 shares and invest them in 10 companies with good potential.As long as more than two of these ten companies are successfully listed.This business is earned.Not like the former.If you only invest in one company.You only have one chance to succeed or fail.As a result, venture capital firms can often achieve high returns at a fraction of the cost.But it also makes their single investment funds not too powerful.Unlike those multinational giants.Tens of billions of dollars are launched at every turn.Billions of dollars in funding.That's pretty much the upper limit for venture capital firms.The ceiling here does not mean that they can't come up with more money, but that they are not willing to take more money out and invest in just one company.That's too risky.Through today's things.Abel figured this out.He sighed."
Everyone.It's a pleasure to have you all here today.Today is over, though.Next time if there is a chance.I'll invite you all again. ”Abel finished.To Alvertelli next to him, he added, "That's the end of it.Al. ”"Good......
Good. ”Alfertley replied.Lana cooperated and began to clean up silently.The investors in the audience were inexplicable.What does that mean?
Is this coming to an end?
What does that say about financing?
What do you say about proportions?
Even the exaggerated valuation of $21.1 billion is super high.At least a fifth of these 15 companies is unwilling to give up.It's a big deal to take some shares.But you can't afford not to take it.But now it's like "I don't want to play anymore."
What do you want to do, what do you want"?
Vic Jean couldn't help but stand up and ask, "Mr.
Sefrosa."
What does that mean?
”Other investors followed suit: "Can't the financing plan start now?"
”"$21.1 billion valuation!
Acceptance by Advent.Willing to fund 5% of the part!
”"Why are you leaving?""
Are there any other negotiating teams to negotiate with us about the next steps?""......"
KPCB's John Dole frowned and didn't speak.Look at Abel.Looking at the investors who are talking about it.Alvertelli sighed in his heart: You don't know the character of the boss.I don't know if this is actually a sign of the boss's reluctance to continue talking.$21.1 billion valuation.This is actually more than Alvertelli and Lana have in mind.This is the first round of funding.Very few people in the history of the business world have raised more than $5 billion in their first round.More than $10 billion is even rarer.This is the first round of valuation of $21.1 billion.It's already going down in the annals of business, okay?
But the boss still doesn't want to play.Alvertelli and Lana really don't know what the boss wants to do.But all the ultimate power of the company is in the hands of the boss.The two of them can only cooperate.Abel stood up and wanted to leave directly.Seeing the dissatisfaction and skepticism of these investors.He added with a lack of interest: "The valuation is too low."
You guys are very insincere.Please wait for the next invitation. ”After saying that, he left without looking back.Left behind the investors with a bewildered face.There was silence for a few seconds.
“fxxk!”
“shit!
fxxk!”"
Is this playing tricks on us?!""......"
, a bunch of classic old American scolding, street English, kept ringing.No matter how good the cultivation is, John Dole and Vic Jean are also angry.What do you mean?!
The valuation of 21 billion US dollars is insincere.Is this going to heaven?!
Elon Musk isn't worth that much, right?!
Yes, if it is really as high as 95% profit margin according to Abba.There is also a production capacity of 300 to 400 units per year.That's an output value of 300 to 40 billion.Super companies with exaggerated profits of $200 to $30 billion.The question is, is it all PPT that seems to be all PPT at the moment?
This investment is risky.PPT couldn't be better.The potential looks good.The stakes are still very high.Your Blue Star Future now looks like it does have explosive potential.But the problem is that the potential explosion does not come up in the later stage, and it may even be an example of a scam.In the high-tech and venture capital worlds, there is an endless stream of emergence.For example, Theranos, a blood testing company that was very popular in the past few years, is a high-tech company.This company has been in just four years.Only very rudimentary products were taken out.From the very beginning, the valuation is more than 400,000 US dollars.It rose to $9 billion at its peak.It has also won the favor of many big names, including Oracle founder Larry Ellison, media mogul Murdoch.Even two former secretaries of state, Henry Kissinger and George Schultz, are willing to join the board.Kissinger: Ah!
That's a character who can shake hands with Premier Zhou and ***!
When he was in office, he passed by Xiangjiang, and the governor of Hong Kong and all the officials of the Hong Kong government, big and small, were dispatched.The tycoons of the entire Xiangjiang were honored to be able to attend the greeting of this big man.And the founder of Theranos, Elizabeth Holmes, a beautiful lady, has also become popular with the company.In 2015, with a net worth of $4.5 billion, she became the youngest female richest person on the Forbes wealth list.He was also appointed as an entrepreneur ambassador by President O'Guanhai, and was even selected as one of the "100 Most Influential People in the World" by Time magazine.It's a pity that in the end, the pie can't be drawn.All the technical tests and patents of this company were later exposed.It's all a fraud.This super unicorn, valued at $9 billion, collapsed.Investors lost a billion dollars!
It can be said that why the situation that Blue Star will encounter in the future is so bad.Part of the reason is because of the glorious past of this predecessor.Originally, Theranos said that just a drop of blood could detect all the symptoms in a person.Now, Bluestar Future says that [Bluestar No. 1] can deal with the problem of electronic waste that is a headache for all countries now.Theranos was a big hit and was favored by all kinds of super celebrities.Cooperate with major hospitals and pharmaceutical companies.Bluestar Future is now the time of the first development conference.The world's most influential environmental scientists were all present.With the slogan "Say goodbye to the dreaded needles and blood tubes," Theranos claims to offer a faster, cheaper, painless blood test that can perform up to 240 medical tests in specialized medical laboratories, from cholesterol to cancer, with just a few drops of blood.Bluestar Future has now launched [Bluestar One].It is claimed that it can be solved at one time, and the earth has reached more than a billion tons of electronic waste.Give the planet an eco-friendly future.What do you think?
Doesn't it look like it?
Who knows, if your Blue Star will be another Theranos in the future?!
Investors are outraged.But Abel had long since left.Only Alferteli and Rana were left to face the wrath of the investors.Alferteli and Lana were expressionless.They are also helpless.But that's what the boss said.As the second general of Hum Ha.How to do and how to say, they are naturally clear."
Everyone, please leave.""
If there is a will next time.Please wait for our next invitation. ”
