Go back to 1990 to start a business

The translator repeats it in English.

Valentine was a little surprised and asked the translator: "Does she not know about Sequoia Capital?"

The translator had no choice but to ask Jiang Yuhua: "Do you know that Sequoia Capital is the world's number one venture capital firm?"

Jiang Yuhua smiled: "I heard Xia Chuan say it. But you must talk to me first. If I think it is necessary, I will make an appointment to meet Xia Chuan."

The translator was immediately drunk. Valentine was a sought-after figure on Wall Street, but he might not be able to see him in Xia Chuan.

He had to repeat it.

Valentine also smiled, feeling that the little girl was ignorant, so he said, "I can't talk to you, but I can wait."

Jiang Yuhua smiled lightly and said: "I know you want to invest, so just explain it clearly. If the gap is small, you can talk to Xia Chuan. If the gap is big, there is no need to meet."

The translator was shocked. Isn’t this little girl a decoration?

He quickly explained to Valentine.

Valentine looked at Jiang Yuhua again in surprise, and then asked with a smile: "Are you just letting me say it here?"

He looked around at the crowd of people watching with interest.

"Please upstairs." Jiang Yuhua was also helpless.

The bodyguard guarding the stairs stepped aside, and the three of them went upstairs. Valentin saw at a glance what Xia Chuan was talking to a middle-aged man, but unfortunately he couldn't understand.

Jiang Yuhua let Valentine into another screen-enclosed room. Since this room always receives reporters, a sofa and coffee table have been set up, so there is no problem in receiving guests.

Valentine sat down, separated by a screen, and Xia Chuan's voice could be heard clearly.

He smiled and asked, "Is that Mr. Xia Chuan just now?"

"Of course." Jiang Yuhua didn't need to translate.

Translation saves trouble, just translate Jiang Yuhua’s words.

Valentin glanced at the translator and thought to himself, please translate for me what Xia Chuan said, but unfortunately the translator didn't understand.

He had no choice but to say: "I would like to ask first, which of the two companies under Xia Chuan's name is going to do the Internet?"

Jiang Yuhua asked with great interest: "On what basis do you think that one of these two companies will be engaged in the Internet, rather than setting up a separate company?"

Valentine smiled and said kindly:

"Little girl, if I can't even understand this, why should I do venture capital? Xia Chuan's deep thoughts on the Internet prove that he is not interested in things like beverages and health products. He just wants to make money and then turn to the Internet. Re-established The company doesn’t have to.”

Jiang Yuhua was a little impressed, "I can say straightforwardly that in the end, these two companies will be Internet group companies. But they will take different paths. After health products, Yikang will turn to pharmaceuticals, while Yiteng will turn to electronic innovation. Products, in the end, all point to the Internet.”

Valentin thought for a moment and asked: "Is pharmaceuticals also innovative products?"

"Of course." Jiang Yuhua suddenly showed a proud look, "I don't know what Yiteng is going to do, but Yikon's next product is definitely a patented product that is a global monopoly, with an annual net profit of one billion US dollars."

Valentine was shocked and said with stern eyes: "Xia Chuan told you alone?"

"No, I told Yaohan's boss. At that time, he wanted to exchange shares with Xia Chuan, but Xia Chuan didn't agree because there was no way to value the product. After all, the product hadn't started yet."

Valentine was even more interested, "Then what method can Xia Chuan use to ensure the global monopoly of this product?"

"I don't know. But I think if you give a valuation of less than a billion dollars, you don't need to meet Xia Chuan."

The translator trembled and almost sat on the ground, "Oh my God, it's just a health care pharmaceutical company, even if it's less than a billion dollars?"

Seeing Valentine's eyes looking over, he quickly translated.

Valentine was not surprised. If he didn't dare to ask for this price, he would be guilty of guilt.

But according to Valentine's judgment, Xia Chuan is definitely a person with extremely strong foundation. That book is his worth. Looking at the whole world, nine years after the birth of the Internet, who can understand it so profoundly?

But Xia Chuan told everything in an airy manner, and he didn't say enough yet, obviously retaining a lot.

If there is only one person in the world who can do well on the Internet, it must be Xia Chuan.

This person can even promote the accelerated development of the entire Internet.

Valentin's adrenaline began to secrete at an accelerated rate, and he thought rapidly. This bet was too big. The product had not yet been launched, but Xia Chuan was sure of a global monopoly. He would not take the risk for anyone else, but for people like Xia Chuan …

If the opportunity is missed, Xia Chuan may no longer need to invest.

His own business can get loans.

Although Valentine does not understand China's national conditions, he has consulted experts on China issues, and the experts' evaluation is that he can raise tens of billions of dollars alone.

At that time, Valentin raised questions, and the experts just cited an example, Liu Xiaox.

She doesn't have much assets herself, but she can raise [-] billion to buy land and build buildings and entertainment venues.

In fact, this number will be 50 billion by [-].

Experts believe that Xia Chuan has a very strong background, an excellent image as an entrepreneur, and his ability to make money is obvious to all, just like a money printing machine.If he relents and wants to invest, tens of billions is a very realistic assessment.

Valentine determined that there was no risk, only the rate of return.

But an innovative genius like Xia Chuan, even if he fails to realize his promise of global monopoly, he can sweep the market with any other product he comes up with.

Now Xia Chuan can be said to be ready for everything and is on the eve of taking off!

Valentin just thought for 5 minutes, nodded and said:

"I agree with the billion-dollar valuation, and I want to talk to Xia Chuan."

Jiang Yuhua nodded calmly, without any joy of taking advantage, got up and went out to talk to Xia Chuan.

Xia Chuan said more calmly: "Let's have dinner together tonight."

The young man who consulted was ashamed. It was embarrassing to postpone the investment of hundreds of millions of dollars until the evening. He quickly said:

"You don't need to be at night. This matter is more important to you than me. I have gained a lot today. If I have any questions in the future, I will call you. Okay?"

Xia Chuan smiled and said, "Okay, if you encounter any problems in the future, call me anytime."

The young man was overjoyed and shook hands politely before leaving.

……

Valentine sat down where the guest was and said with a smile: "Mr. Xia Chuan, it's not easy to meet you."

Xia Chuan handed over two bottles of iced black tea and said with a smile in fluent English:

"Actually, you can meet me right away when you come in the evening. We have made appointments during the day. I don't want to break my promise to anyone."

"Understood, this is one of the reasons why I am optimistic about you. Reputation in the mall is more precious than anything else." Valentin admired Xia Chuan's personality very much, and was even more surprised by Xia Chuan's English level. Where did he practice it? With Xia Chuan The information does not match.

After translating, I realized that I was redundant. Xia Chuan's English was better than mine.

Xia Chuan went straight to the point: "I don't know if Manager Jiang has made it clear to you. You can invest. I also need someone to help me get a U.S. patent as soon as possible, but I don't want something like Cisco to happen. You can't participate in any decision-making management. Only one financial director can be assigned.”

Xia Chuan knew that the extremely kind old man in front of him was a real crocodile that ate meat without spitting out bones.

In 84, an American couple established Cisco. They looked for investors everywhere, but they were rejected by 75 investors. The 76th one was Valentine.

At that time, the conditions given by Valentine were very harsh, with an investment of US$15, but the couple was asked to give up management rights.

As a result, the professional managers sent by Valentine squeezed the founder couple out of Cisco.

Now, Cisco's revenue in 90 was $4900 million.

Twenty years later, in 20, it was US$2011 billion.

This is Valentin's vision and means.
