Chapter 239: Venture capital?

"The brightness of the LED lamp is far beyond that of the cRT monitor. In this case, our TV will be able to get better display effects and higher contrast. ##看说必去##At the same time, cRT TVs need to pass interlacing The scanning method can display images, even for Apple’s dazzling TVs. Such interlaced scanning will greatly reduce the visual experience, so this kind of TV is inevitable to be eliminated—"

Jing Shen paused, then glanced at these colleagues.

This is a secret internal meeting.

"Moreover, the screen made of Led lamp is thinner, lighter, and more energy-efficient compared to cRT TV. These are very good advantages."

Everyone nodded. Indeed, such a product is almost beyond good.

"Our goal should be to get ahead of Apple and open the LED screen. This is the most important thing for us."

Akio Morita added.

"We Japanese companies want to enter the United States. It is not enough to rely on price alone. There is also technology and technological content."

In addition, Jing Shenda nodded, and then looked at Akio Morita, who had worked hard with him on Sony.

Although before again, the company has been researching towards progressive scan TVs, but now, the company's strategy has to be changed.

They want to turn on the Led TV directly.

Jing Shenda is full of confidence in this.

"We at Sony are about to lead the flow of the world, and we are about to change the world!"

Jing Shenda excitedly expressed his views on the future.

His voice trembled a little.

"Papa Papa--"

Here is the warm applause——

On Catherine's side, she has no idea what Japanese manufacturers are paying attention to.

cRT TV is a long-term trend, this will not change, Fed screen is difficult to make large-at least it is impossible within this year, so Apple's current strategy is to fully research line-by-line TV , And after the advent of progressive TV sets, they began to study thin cRT-although it is thin, it is only relatively, in fact, it is still a bit thick.

After the emergence of thin cRT, the potential of cRT TVs and monitors is basically exhausted, and the next step is to develop new products.

From line-by-line to thin, this process also takes at least a few years, and when the thin cRT is eliminated, it will be more than two decades later.

At this time, Fed and sed screen TVs can just fill the gap in the market.

The plan is so good. But for now, the Fed screen of the screen is still useful.

That is Beep and the handheld.

And the opening of these two devices involved Catherine's constant headache, that is, the power supply.

Lithium-ion batteries are the established strategy, and cadmium-nickel batteries are an alternative.

Naturally, I can't do it myself to turn on the battery. Catherine has no knowledge in this area, and can only say that she has some common sense. And the company has absolutely no accumulation of technology in this area. &&Latest chapter Baidu search: &&

Therefore, Catherine can't help at all in this regard.

That being the case, Catherine decided to let the company come back as a venture capitalist.

——The strategy of casting a wide net and fishing more fish.

The origin of venture capital can be traced back to the end of the 19th century, when some American banks made high returns by investing in emerging industries such as steel, oil, and railways.

In 1946, Harvard University professor George Dorwit and a group of entrepreneurs in the New England region established the first modern venture capital company, the American Research Exhibition Corporation, and created a precedent in the modern venture capital industry.

But for now, pure venture capital companies are not too many. In this market, Rockefeller-to be precise, Lawrence Rockefeller-is waving money there.

Catherine asked Elsa to find information on various energy companies that have been registered in the United States, and then began to screen.

Catherine does not know the battery industry, so she can only choose this method. After all, one's own aRk has no talents and no technology. If you want to enter the battery industry quickly, you can only choose to invest in other companies, and then use this to "catalyze" the entire industrial chain.

Lead storage batteries and dry batteries are now more popular, so Catherine first excluded a group of companies that use these two types of batteries as research and sales targets.

Then, Catherine eliminated the larger companies, paying special attention to the more dynamic companies.

It is very common to start a business in the United States, which is originally a capital controlled country.

In the end, Catherine chose to choose and found a company in the United States that seemed to have great potential. They mainly studied new energy and new energy storage equipment. Although it was only a company, Catherine was optimistic about their future.

But the company is not a venture capital organization dedicated to mén after all. After thinking about it, Catherine found Soros over.

"Sister Edson--you said, you are going to set up a venture capital company?"

Soros looked at Catherine strangely.

Because the company has a large amount of capital, Soros is now enjoying the wind.

However, Soros had no idea that Catherine would actually make such a request at this time.

"Yes, venture capital company, I will use at least ten thousand dollars as the starting capital. Moreover, I also want the Quantum Fund to help manage this company."

Catherine said.

"You take the liberty to ask, why would you want to set up such a company?"

Soros didn't know much.

"Yes, I hope this company can become a tool in the hands of aRk Group. Our company is not omnipotent, but in this country, there are many people who can help us. In the United States, what we lack is creativity and innovation. . All I have to do is to let this kind of creativity and innovation show up and then use it for me."

Soros seemed to understand: "In fact, what you need is not just a pure venture capital company, but a prop that can realize your will?"

"Ok."

"Then, your venture capital company, the main venture capital target, is to address the needs of the aRk Group and then determine the direction of investment."

Catherine continued to nod her head: "In fact, if the other party finds mén, if the company has a good future, it is a good idea to choose investment. &&Latest chapter Baidu search:&&"

Soros thought for a while: "In this case, I probably understand that this venture capital company will be different from these companies now, but a brand new model?"

Catherine said: "Yes, that's it! The main thing I value is the products and results of these companies. These are what I want, not just money. Moreover, even if it is a loss, it is also It doesn’t matter, I don’t plan to make this company make money anyway.”

However, Soros seems to have realized another problem: "The operation of venture capital includes four stages: financing, investment, management, and exit. Venture capital institutions mainly exit the venture enterprises they invest in through three methods: equity transfer and bankruptcy liquidation. Investment income. After the exit is completed, venture capital institutions need to distribute investment income to investors who provide venture capital. If our investment method is different from other companies, how should our company make money? This is not just a loss. The question. Profit is an important guarantee for the survival of a company. If we start from the establishment, we will not have any means of profit-can such a company really receive favor?"

This is the public offering, which is the first time to go public.

Profitability is also something that many venture companies like to do.

But if Catherine changes to a new investment method, this profit model will disappear, and this is very unfavorable for the company.

Catherine was questioned by Soros, and she immediately realized the problem. She immediately thought of a compromise method: "Well, let’s use the ordinary venture capital approach. But we also have to do the same as the ordinary venture capital approach. It is different, but a special investment method suitable for aRk. We can either inject capital into those emerging companies to obtain their equity, and then, when we sign the contract, we can require the company to have the priority to purchase the other party’s patents. Quan, how about that?"

"But will anyone sign such an unequal contract?"

Catherine was once again stumped by Soros' questioning.

"I think the positioning of this newly established company should be paving the way for those newcomers in the business world. Our company needs a good reputation, but also needs good enough profitability. This is not just for making money, one only wants to make money. It’s impossible to show up in any way."

This word came from Soros's mouth.

But-Catherine heard Soros say this-why is there a feeling that something is wrong?

Well, it's very subtle.

At this time, Catherine had another idea: "Our company established a venture capital company not for profit, but only to strengthen the company's grand strategy. Therefore, this is doomed to not be the same as a general venture capital company. But For the company itself, we also need to be profitable—"

And there is another point, that is, after the age, various big venture capital companies will continue to appear. If you want to stand out in this cruel competition, you must develop.

"—Well, then what should I do?"

Catherine was in entanglement.

There are two types of venture capital. One is a pure venture capitalist-a company that accepts venture capital is a venture company, and an organization that raises and manages venture capital, seeks and selects investment projects, invests and supervises, and supports venture companies People are called venture capitalists.

The other is a special mén venture fund (or venture capital), which effectively invests the funds under its control into high-tech companies with profitable potential and obtains capital rewards through the latter.

What Catherine has to do now is to establish the latter model.

However, although venture capital is a kind of equity investment, the purpose of investment is not to obtain ownership of the enterprise, not to hold control, and not to operate the enterprise, but to expand the investment enterprise through investment and provision of value-added services.

This is not in line with Catherine's purpose.

Besides, what else can be done?

M&A? Acquisition?

This may be feasible, but who knows what kind of company the following merger company is?

Catherine is not ready to enter other industries, and she does not want to set up enemies for this.

Therefore, venture capital is necessary.

"It doesn't have to be a venture capital company, but just a company with some concepts and concepts of venture capital. Wouldn't it be much better?"

Elsa is talking.

correct! That's it!

"Oh~Elsa, you are so bang~"

If it weren't for Soros's presence, Catherine really wanted to hug her.

From the beginning, Catherine walked into a misunderstanding, that is, she must set up a venture capital company.

But is this really necessary?

the answer is negative.

Because of Elsa's words, Catherine immediately jumped out of that circle.

"Yes, we don't have to be just a venture capital company, all we need is the concept of venture capital!"

Hearing Catherine's words, Soros nodded with deep approval: "If you make a plan from this aspect, it seems a lot easier—"

"Well-in that case, we don't need to be called venture capital. How about venture funds?" Catherine immediately explained her thoughts: "We don't have to focus on a specific company at all, but just focus on a certain company. It is not necessarily a company. Even individuals can apply for a batch of funds from us—well, even, we can send staff to help them build and expand the company?"

The latter thought was a bit whimsical, but the previous thought happened to be on top of the idea.

"It seems feasible, but there are some questions-what if the product fails to make breakthroughs for a long time? What if the ratio of input and output is too different? What if the other party is a liar?"

Soros is worthy of being the future financial giant and well-known venture capitalist. He immediately found the drawbacks. What to do with the three, suddenly made Catherine speechless.

After being silent for a while, Soros thought of a way: "Maybe it can be like this-we can cultivate our company by investing in company stocks and products."

It feels like the Pentagon?

Catherine suddenly had such an illusion.

"In this case, the company's positioning should be to nurture the company. In this case, you should help a company hand in hand and establish a close relationship with it—"

Catherine's eyes lit up.

Yeah, why do you have to do the same in venture capital and sell stocks? Isn't such an enterprise very beneficial to its own exhibition?

"Except for certain companies that are helpful to aRk, our investment targets are mainly venture companies that are committed to solving major social problems, such as environmental protection, energy, and so on."

"Environmental protection?"

Catherine didn't expect that some people would think of this word now.

"Yes, I recently watched "Silent Net Sky". I think corporate people should have a certain degree of social responsibility and morality—"

Indeed, Soros did not care about the money after retirement, just devoted himself to the charity industry.

But then again, why are successful people always keen on doing charity?

And unlike those so-called "charity funds" that are used to evade inheritance tax, the other party pulled their sleeves and really did it.

"What's the name of the company?"

Quantum Venture Capital Company?

Can't it?

Catherine felt that the company had better not be associated with "quantum", even if Soros personally controlled it, but Catherine always felt that if there was some kind of connection with the Quantum Fund—uh—the reputation might be bad. Drop.

Finally, the "Angel Venture Capital Fund Co., Ltd." was established in such a magnificent manner. Although it is a bit nondescript, it should be considered a half venture capital company.

Catherine took out ten thousand dollars as the starting capital.

In this company, Catherine holds% of shares, while Quantum Fund holds% of shares.

For Katherine, the venture capital company is a tool, not a business, so this company Katherine is temporarily managed by Quantum Fund.

Catherine's company cannot be involved in various industries.

Although group companies like General Motors are mostly involved in several or even dozens of industries, Catherine’s corporate heritage is not enough. In Catherine’s view, without ten years of accumulation, her company can only be in the electronics industry. The inside exhibition, at best, is only slowly looking outward from the industry.

In this way, cooperation becomes very important. It is also a good choice to use venture capital to develop some types of enterprises.

More importantly, there are so many good things for you-reputation!

A good reputation is very important.

Catherine’s angel costume design company has a good reputation, and this is also derived from the original idea of ​​Catherine’s experience of life.

So far, the only one that Angel Fashion Design Company still has is a kind of clothes that hardly makes money, that is, clothes for those with disabilities. Moreover, Homan seems to be very keen on charity, so up to now, the word of mouth of the angel costume design company has come out.

It's just that although this company can bring Catherine hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue, it is not enough compared to its own aRk group.

On the other hand, angel investment has also been officially registered, netbsp; then, the company immediately found the ten companies that Catherine had originally liked, and then started the company's first investment——
