Investment Life

Taking off the glasses on the bridge of the nose, Yan Qiaosen rubbed some sour eyes. For the chip engineer, the complicated circuit design is always the enemy of vision, not to mention the flashing phosphor screen destroying both eyes, sometimes the old way Drawing is more worry-free.

But personal computers are really a good thing. Under the joint action of several giants, today's Silicon Valley has finally shaken off the continuous decline since the 1980s. The decline of Fairchild is now a passing sight. The impact of the terrible stock disaster in the previous two years on Nasdaq is also The decline, although it has not yet reached its heyday glory, Silicon Valley is indeed more dynamic than the last decade.

Compared with the mpeg chip developed by myself, all kinds of computer-related hardware and software are the hottest things today, just like Microsoft's Windows 3.0 system just launched. Although it looks stupid and has some suspicions of plagiarizing Metakin, it is overnight It has swept the world. For those non-professionals, the operation of Windows is undoubtedly simpler and faster, which also opens the door for the promotion of personal computers.

Now that two years have passed, Microsoft seems to be moving forward with confidence to become the next ibm empire. The small box of personal computers is increasingly becoming the king of the future. In contrast, its own company, which has not even been listed yet, lacks actuality. In the direction of production, his mpeg chip will never be able to play its due strength. However, compared to a few months ago, Yan Qiaosen feels that his mood has been calmed a lot recently. The vcd disc format has already applied for a patent in the United States. The development of vcd machines has also entered the final stage, with the support of new investors. Everything went much better than expected.

Thinking of that young partner, Yan Qiaosen held his forehead with his hand holding his glasses, and he couldn't help but get a little distracted. Since applying for a visa three months ago, Chen Yuanming has not shown himself. The only few telephone communications are to ask about the progress of vcd, or to ask some questions about Silicon Valley. This new rich man who has grown up from the Chinese stock market seems to only stay on the level of profit in technology. His understanding of Silicon Valley is even more blank. Compared to this small valley, he is obviously more obsessed with the "Golden East Coast" .

It was just a few recent calls that made him feel a little bit confused. It seems that overnight, Chen Yuanming became familiar with the operation mode of Silicon Valley, from the original rough to the silly question without a head, became very targeted. This huge change is amazing for someone who has never touched a computer before.

But after these questions, where is the real intention of the teenager? Since listening to his partner Meng Lisheng about the two machines, Professor Yan has developed a unique perception of Chen Yuanming. This is not a person who only sees his feet, like a cunning chess master. The step taken may not be useful in the short term, but it may not be a future killing move. The vcd machine may just be his starting point.

Therefore, Yan Qiaosen is particularly concerned about those questions that Chen Yuanming recently asked. Through the network in Silicon Valley, he really spent a lot of effort to find the small companies and technicians that the other party needs. It's just that he asked those who are inevitably weird, what personal computer universal interface, what software developers with outstanding compatibility, and all of them are the most popular ones. In this era of computer models belonging to various companies, the operating system is basically incompatible, look for these, isn't it too advanced?

After thinking for a long time, Yan Qiaosen still couldn't come up with a reasonable answer. He sighed, he put on his glasses again, and was ready to return to the design. After all, he is just a chip engineer. The wrestling between such large companies is really not his own specialty, let the professionals consider it.

Who knew that just wanting to continue the next test, the door of the workshop was knocked suddenly, and his little golden curl helper rushed in.

"Professor, a young man is looking for you, saying that it is your important partner, and he is Asian."

young people? Partner? Yan Qiaosen stood up from her chair and almost knocked down the electric iron on one side. Is it Chen Yuanming! No, wasn't he still in Manhattan the other day?

"Where are others? Take me there!"

Quickly walked out of the workshop, Yan Qiaosen ran to the reception room. The visitor is too sudden, so what can happen? However, when I hurried to the door, I saw the man in the room walking towards him slowly, with a very relaxed smile on his young face. This smile calmed down Professor Yan instantly, and his footsteps slightly, I settled down and greeted me with a smile.

"It's been a long time, Yuanming." Holding the opponent's right hand, Yan Qiaosen shook his head vigorously. "Why not get rich on Wall Street, but run to the West Coast."

"When things are done on Wall Street, come and see." She smiled and held back, and Chen Yuanming could not find a trace of reluctance.

Finished? Is it so easy to abandon that never-money Wall Street? But it doesn't look like he lost money ...

Paying attention to the doubtful look on Professor Yan's face, Chen Yuanming smiled and took the lead in releasing his hand. "At present, my assets have been handed over to the hedge fund to take care of them. I don't need to worry about things over there in a short time."

This time Yan Qiaosen was even more surprised. It was only a few months before he could join a private equity-based hedge fund? Last year, Soros's deal was almost unknown. There were countless wealthy people who wanted to make money by speculation, but reliable and well-known hedge funds were limited, and no one could go in for water. How could he do this so easily? Mixed in? However, astonished and surprised, Professor Yan took his breath away in no time. Where the other person's money was invested and how much he earned did not really have anything to do with him. The partnership vcd business was the most important thing between them.

Thinking of this, Yan Qiaosen also smiled heartily, "That would be better, how can you come to the United States without seeing the Silicon Valley scenery, since you are also interested here, you should actually check it out."

This is indeed Chen Yuanming's original intention, and nodded with a smile, "Yes, the ears are false, the sight is true."

In fact, compared to Wall Street, the Silicon Valley in front of him is more strange to Chen Yuanming. All his knowledge about computers comes from his previous experience selling computers in Zhongguancun. Except for some big-name memory manufacturers, motherboard models, and the most basic pirated tool disks, he is almost completely unfamiliar with the development history of the entire electronics industry. However, from another channel, he could not be said to be completely at a loss, because he is witnessing the era of personal computer industry maturity, from national dos to win95 pirated disks flying all over the world, from floppy disk storage data to 16x speed DVD-ROM, In the later generations, those things that make people feel right should not have just appeared or have not yet been born. From this perspective, he really can't say that he knows nothing.

However, with such an idea, he came astonished when he came to the United States. Among the various periodicals and newspapers, the Silicon Valley he saw in the United States is another picture. The prototype of the hand-written portable computer has appeared, and the optical drive has slowly eroded the site of the floppy drive. Although the classic win95 has not yet appeared in the windows system, version 3.0 is very similar to the common window in later generations. The C language has established a standard and is moving towards popularity. Even he once fought with Cisco, and now he has built the world's first network connected by thousands of routers, and the prototype of the Internet has been quietly established.

This is 1993! !! Today's Silicon Valley can be very different from China's wildness. Except for a few things he knows have not yet appeared, the electronics industry in this era has already had the potential to soar, almost half of the performance on the Nasdaq in the aftermarket Son, now has the shape of a giant. And those ideas he once speculated, such as buying a large number of Cisco shares, before Sun's birth to the Sun company, or relying on vcd to seize the optical drive market, are all ridiculous delusions. This year, the Sun company has been among the world's top 500. Even if the Java language has not yet appeared, is it possible that his meagre financial resources can leverage this giant behemoth?

After recognizing his stupidity and arrogance, Chen Yuanming calmed down and began to seriously study everything related to Silicon Valley. Computer journals and the like have become his desk essentials. Combined with financial and comprehensive newspapers, a more authentic Silicon Valley appears in front of him. This is a treasure land that has not yet entered the heyday of venture capital. Although there are many giants and malicious mergers and acquisitions everywhere, every day, every time, there are fresh ideas bursting out, just like the mpeg chip. Before no one found it, it was just a A booth worth only 2 square meters, and when someone found it, developed it? This is a huge gold mine worth hundreds of billions.

For this world, the deeper the contact, the more you can feel the hidden charm beneath it. From this, it is still Silicon Valley. It is a pure land for Chinese people to lead a party. If it can be used as a technical outpost, it will deliver advanced blood for the country. And what interesting changes will happen?

With such an idea, Chen Yuanming stepped into this land. In his opinion, Silicon Valley is more important than Wall Street. As long as there is enough money, he can get everything he really wants. Now all he needed was a door brick.

The face of Chen Yuanming's slightly contented smile, Yan Qiaosen was a little shy. After only three months of absence, the teenager seemed to have undergone some kind of metamorphosis. It ’s not just that the body is getting stronger, it can support formal wear, nor is it just getting rid of the country's simple dress style, starting to trim the hairstyle and meditating, showing the full Wall Street style, not the kind of bodyguards behind him Silent oppression. It is a change from the inside to the outside. It seems that he has a clearer path in his heart and is making steady progress at an indescribable pace.

This change is subtle and equally amazing. As a partner, Yan Qiaosen has gradually felt a similar sense of determination. As an ally on the same front, nothing can be more wonderful than this.

Feeling this wonderful psychological reaction, Yan Qiaosen shook his head with a little emotion. "So, after watching it? Do you have any plans in Silicon Valley?"

"Of course." In the face of partners, Chen Yuanming didn't mean to hide anything. "In the future, this may be my home base. Compared to traditional brokers and investment banks, I am more interested in those emerging things, such as private equity funds. For example, Sand Mountain Road in Silicon Valley ... "

"Shashan Road?" Yan Qiaosen asked in surprise, "Do you really plan to enter the venture capital world?"

"Since there is a successful first time, why not continue it?" Chen Yuanming smiled slightly and asked back.

The author has something to say: Fairchild Company, once the world's largest, most innovative and most exciting semiconductor manufacturing company, has laid a solid foundation for Silicon Valley's growth, and has also created thousands of Technical and management personnel. Acquired by French in 1979.

Macintosh computer, matos, abbreviated mac, commonly known as Mac in Hong Kong, also known as Mac or Macintosh in mainland China

Windows, windows system, this need not be explained, right? Windows 3.0 version appeared in 1990, but the most famous in China is probably win95 = w =

Cisco Systems, Inc., or Cisco for short, was formally established in December 1984. It is a leading provider of Internet solutions. Its equipment and software products are mainly used to connect computer network systems. San Jose.

Sunmicrosystems was founded in 1982. Its main products are workstations and servers. The first multiprocessor desktop sparcstation system on the market was introduced in 1992 and entered the Fortune 500 in the following year. Java is a general term for the Java object-oriented programming language (hereinafter referred to as the Java language) and the Java platform introduced by Sunmicrosystems in May 1995.

Sandhill Road, a common place name in Silicon Valley. However, this VC street named "sandhillroad" has become a global symbol, known as "West Coast Wall Street". Hundreds of reputable venture capital companies have gathered here, saying that it is gold everywhere, gold everywhere. Not too much.

Just as Wall Street in the United States is synonymous with the financial industry, Shashan Road in Silicon Valley is synonymous with venture capital companies (VC for short); but unlike Wall Street's investment banks, Wall Street's investment banks mostly invest in financial and traditional industries. Most investment companies invest in high-tech enterprises. Therefore became a mecca for entrepreneurs.
