Global Monopoly of Technology

Chapter 64 [Although in the present, but managing the future]

The heads of Goldman Sachs, Softbank, and other influential figures were all present, as well as representatives of investors such as Venture Capital Fund, Sequoia Capital, Morgan Stanley, and IDG.

What surprised Luo Sheng was that Xu Chenghua was also present among the participants, but he was relieved quickly, but it was no surprise that this time Teng Xun was a soy sauce character, and another representative of Hua Guo was present. It is Huajin Securities.

This time Goldman Sachs has brought several new capital parties, naturally to diversify risks. Luo Sheng came here to invest this time, and the investment will definitely be invested, but it is a question of how much to invest.

It is impossible not to invest money. He has already invested so much money in Luo Sheng, and the development momentum of Bluestar Technology is really good. Of course, he will not give up, otherwise the previous investment is equivalent to a waste of water.

Henry Paulson, the head of Goldman Sachs, showed his good manners. After Luo Sheng came in, he immediately gestured for him to take a seat.

And Luo Sheng didn't have any stage fright, and he didn't even wear formal clothes, but from his natural self-confidence temperament, it was not deliberately pretending.

It's not like he hasn't seen a big scene in the last life. After all, the last life when Luo Sheng was born was an era when he was on an equal footing with the US emperor or even faintly surpassed the US emperor. That kind of confidence is not comparable to people of this era, this is undeniable.

But his performance made the big men present quite surprised. Such confident young people from China are rare, and many people have a sense of curiosity towards Luo Sheng.

An executive of Goldman Sachs looked at Luo Sheng and said: "Since the last year of the last century, the Internet boom has swept Wall Street, and every day we see new companies listed on Nasdaq, and there are several Thousands of millionaires, Internet companies became the darlings of the market until the bubble burst..."

"Launch in February this year, this is the first Internet company in the Eastern Hemisphere to enter the global business. Under the management of you and your team, BlueSpace's users have achieved a breakthrough of 100 million in Greater China, and it has also created in the international market. Tens of millions of users have attracted the attention of Wall Street, but so far you haven’t made any advertising fees, not even $1.”

"But we've taken $81.42 million from investors, and we're not focusing on BlueSpace's growth now, we're questioning its profitability, so..."

When it came to this, the Goldman Sachs executive stopped talking and reached out to Luo Sheng. The latter smiled and replied without any hesitation: "Once an Internet company chooses to make a profit, it means that it is about to explode, because it The size of the company is too large. Whether it is BlueSpace or the international version of BlueSpace, it has not accepted any advertisers, because we believe that its growth space has just begun, and the company has not brought in $1 in revenue. It’s a question of ability, but, if we choose to earn a little advertising fee now, we will lose the future, at least it will affect the bigger profits in the future.”

The representative sent by Sequoia Capital looked at Luo Sheng and asked: "I don't agree, while the rapid development of Baidu, the profitability of advertising is eye-catching, and now it no longer relies too much on capital blood transfusion for its development. , Teng Xun is also like this, even Ali Babamo is not like this, why can’t Blue Star Company do it?”

Luo Sheng still smiled, and replied calmly and confidently: "With the launch of Yunge Search, I am afraid that the profit obtained by Baidu's self-profit is not enough to develop. Yunge Search has already launched a head-to-head competition with Baidu, and what they have come up with is the real deal. The funds are spent fighting against each other.”

The representative person in charge sent by Sequoia Capital said again: "OK, money-burning war, conventional Internet competition methods... If you can, please tell us some things that the Internet can do that you have never heard of. We're tired of hearing what's been done."

Luo Sheng said: "Maybe you can come to our country to see,

Whether in the streets of Shencheng or Pengcheng, young people are talking about the topic of the Internet, and the data is the best proof that the growth rate of Internet users in Huaguo has surpassed that of North America. Now the Internet users in Huaguo are about 1 200 million in the United States, but within three years it will surpass North America to become the largest single market for global Internet users. Even if it is delayed, it will be a matter of time. "

"Huaguo has a huge population of nearly 1.3 billion, and the Internet user ceiling in North America will be at most 300 million in the next fifteen years, but Huaguo can reach 800 million, and now it is only 100 million. What choice?"

The representative head of the IDG Fund put it succinctly: "The story is beautiful, but it is also an empty promise with no guarantees."

Luo Sheng said methodically: "Although our team lives in the present, we manage the future. We believe that as long as the time limit is extended, you can do many things that cannot be done under normal circumstances, so we like to do it for five to ten years. Things that pay off later, Wall Street may have no patience for fast money, but I believe that in the choice between a small sardine and a blue whale, Wall Street will have more desire for the latter, right?"

"We are willing to plant the seeds, and at this point, we are very stubborn, our team is stubborn in vision, but flexible in details, our vision is not just to build a successful public company..."

Paulson and several other all-powerful capital circles or Internet celebrities exchanged whispers and nodded silently from time to time.

At the end, Henry Paulson looked at Luo Sheng and spoke for the first time, he smiled and said: "Mr. Luo, among the many Chinese faces I have seen, you are one of the few people who show such a confident side, and of course you are also. The youngest, we all want to hear more about your specific vision and development plan for the company's future."

As Paulson's voice fell, the VCs invited Luo Sheng into the internal conference room of the conference hall. The reporters present undoubtedly wanted to go in and participate, but it was obviously impossible.

Next is an internal private meeting, where the head of SoftBank Capital, representatives of Morgan Stanley and Sequoia Capital can enter.

The closed-door meeting lasted for about thirty-four minutes, and the media reporters in the lobby were still waiting patiently and did not leave.

Meng Qiu was also staying outside the hall. He didn't have much friendship with Luo Sheng, but at the moment he admired this young man, his calm, calm and eloquent talk with those powerful bosses, and his humorous side Impress him.

There is a saying that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, but in Meng Qiu's view, Luo Sheng is no better than those veterans who have been struggling in the mall for decades.

If nothing else, just relying on his storytelling ability, he will never worry about not being able to pull in investment, the only uncertainty is how much investment he can pull.

Great storytelling!

In his opinion, Luo Sheng's biggest language charm is that he said a lot but didn't say anything, but he went to the heart of the capitalists, and only talked about some concepts of the big era. As for the specifics, he didn't say it stupidly. .

It is not something ordinary people can do to speak to such an appropriate level.

Facts have proved that these supercapitals like to listen to this. Luo Sheng's current achievements in running the company also provide a lot of confidence for what he has explained. Without certain achievements to support it, even if he is talking about hype, it is twice the result with half the effort. , even pointless, because no one would believe it.

Forty-two minutes after the door was closed, it opened again, and the media reporters who were present suddenly looked at it, and then everyone was introduced to the internal meeting by the staff.

Meng Qiu was stunned.

Did it really happen?

That's it, and then it's done?
