Chapter 30 2 Major International Venture Capitalists

The next day, at the agreed meeting time, Wu Xiang welcomed Sun Junsan from Softbank and Michael Johnson from Sequoia at the same time.

Both of these two can be said to be the masters, who can decide everything with one word.

No one knows what the three parties talked about in the office of the chairman of Xingwang Company?

However, when Sun Chunsan, Michael Johnson, and Wu Xiang walked out of the office, all three of them had smiles on their faces.

After hearing the news, the reporters who were waiting outside rushed over with long guns and short cannons after the three of them appeared, and the flashing lights continued to light up.

"Mr. Sun, may I ask if you appear in Xingwang company, are you very optimistic about Xingwang company and want to invest in Xingwang company?"

"Mr. Michael, may I ask if Sequoia is determined to win Starnet? The presence of Softbank at Starnet at the same time means that there will be a fight between dragons and tigers?"

"Mr. Wu, I don't know how the arrival of Mr. Sun and Mr. Michael will affect Xingwang's future decisions and plans?"

...

The reporters asked all kinds of questions one after another, making it so noisy that people didn't know which one to answer?

"Everyone, everyone, please be quiet."

Wu Xiang stretched out his hands, pressed the pressure, and said: "Our Star Network Company will hold a press conference in a while, and everyone's questions will be answered at that time. Please follow the director of our company's public relations department to the reception on the fifth floor. waiting room."

"Sure enough, there is big news."

The reporters were all excited, and they didn't pester Wu Xiang, Sun Chun, Michael, and the others to ask questions.

After all, the press conference is about to be held, and they have to wait patiently for a while before the official visit. They still have this quality.

"please."

After the reporters had left, Wu Xiang smiled and led Sun Chunsan and Michael to take the special elevator to the fifth floor.

As for Sun Junsan of Softbank and Michael Johnson of Sequoia, two internationally famous figures, Wu Xiang never thought of being able to interact with them in the past? Let alone talking in front of them.

Now, when these two big men appeared in front of Wu Xiang, Wu Xiang didn't feel much excitement, but just looked at them from the same angle very calmly.

Instead of holding them high, they put their own posture low.

In fact, Wu Xiang does not necessarily have to ask Softbank or Sequoia, although with the help of these two international venture capital companies, it can realize the deployment plan of Star Network in the whole country and even the world faster and more stably, but if the other party cannot afford the price , He will never cooperate with the other party.

It's like Ding Shi, Wu Xiang's psychological price for investment in exchange for shares was a huge difference, so he resolutely refused the other party's shareholding in Xingwang Company.

The most important thing is that Wu Xiang will never sell the shares of Xingwang Company.

He allows investment in foreign assets, but not on the mother ship Starnet, but on an independent brand subsidiary established under Starnet.

In the spacious reception hall on the fifth floor, there were almost no empty seats, and more reporters who came to hear the news could only squeeze in the aisle.

Wu Xiang, Sun Chunsan, and when Michael walked in, the flashing lights kept ringing.

Standing in front of the rostrum, Li Dehua, the executive general manager of Starnet, said loudly, "Welcome Mr. Sun Junsan of Softbank, Mr. Michael of Sequoia, and Mr. Wu Xiang, the chairman of Starnet."

Li Dehua took the lead in applauding, bursts of warm applause, followed by Wu Xiang, Sun Chun, Michael, and the three walked up to the rostrum, and the applause still kept ringing.

"Welcome journalists, Mr. Sun Junsan of Softbank, and Mr. Michael of Sequoia to Starnet. Today is a beautiful day, because today is an important milestone for Starnet. Here, I want to announce two things!. "Wu Xiang stood on the rostrum, looking around the audience, full of vigor.

He was originally just a small owner of an Internet cafe on the verge of bankruptcy.

Sanwu Xiaosi, who has no house, no car, and is about to break up with his girlfriend, but in less than half a year, he already has another identity, able to stand with internationally renowned venture capitalists, without being humble or stage-frightened , because behind Wu Xiang there is a magical Sims world as the backing.

What makes him more confident is that now he is no longer an internet novice, but a computer expert who can write perfect season programs with his own powerful computer technology.

"The first thing is that under Xingwang Company, Xingwang server game platform company will be established, and an international large-scale data center will be established in Shenhai City. Sequoia Mr. Michael Johnson’s favor, so Mr. Sun and Mr. Michael will each invest 100 million US dollars, a total of 200 million US dollars, and each obtain 15% of the original equity of Starnet server game platform company.”

Except for Wu Xiang, Sun Chunsan, and Michael Johnson, the middle and senior management and other employees of Xingwang Company were all shocked by this news.

200 million US dollars only acquired 30% of the original equity of Starnet server game platform company under Starnet Corporation, and, before the Starnet server game platform company was formally established, Sun Junsan of Softbank and Sequoia Michael How bullish are the two bosses on Xingwang Company?

Even if it is 200 million U.S. dollars in exchange for 30% of the equity of Xingwang Company, it will make people amazed for a long time, but I didn't expect that a Xingwang server game platform company that has not yet been established, or even just launched a concept, has such a high profile. the value of?

It's incredible!

The reporters in the audience were going crazy, but the employees of Xingwang Company were so excited that they wanted to shout and feel proud.

Wu Xiang stretched out his hand to press down, and when the reception hall became quiet again, he smiled slightly and said, "Second thing, Starnet's community reality show will also officially open a three-dimensional online shopping platform in the community in the not-too-distant future. At that time, the buildings that were originally commercial in the real map, whether they are shopping malls, shopping malls, supermarkets, or stores, will also resume their business models."

The audience immediately became chaotic again, and some reporters couldn't help but speak one after another, throwing up various questions.

"So!" Wu Xiang couldn't hear the reporters' questions one after another, and he didn't have the idea of ​​answering. He patted the microphone on the stage, and the sound suppressed all the noise. After a little silence, Wu Xiang continued, " Therefore, Star Network will set up another subsidiary company, 'Star Catalyst'! Similarly, this subsidiary has also received 100 million US dollars of investment from Softbank and Sequoia, totaling 200 million US dollars, each receiving 10% of the original equity investment."

"May I ask Mr. Wu, what kind of company is Star Catalyst, and can you explain to everyone what it means?" A reporter stood up and asked.

"Star Catalyst Company is a company established based on the three-dimensional shopping service platform that the community will soon open. The reason why it is named Star Catalyst is that Star Network will distribute a Star Catalyst watch to all users in the community map. Using Star Catalyst Wristwatch, you can easily search for the information of various shops and products in the community map, and even use the Star Catalyst watch to instantly send it to the dimensional container and fitting room of the shop.”

The so-called dimensional container is a space that is exactly the same as the store, which is tantamount to copying everything in the store. Community users do not need to go to the address of the store in the community map, they can use the Star Catalyst watch to directly enter the place they want. Enter the dimensional container that is exactly the same as the store, and directly select the products in the store. If it is a clothing store, there is also a fitting room service.

In this way, the disadvantage that the three-dimensional shopping platform is inconvenient than the flat shopping platforms such as Taobao is solved.

Moreover, such a sci-fi star catalyst service platform will only be more sought after by community users.

Wu Xiang simply talked about the concept of the Star Catalyst shopping platform, which aroused the interest of everyone present.

"May I ask Mr. Wu, do the two subsidiaries of Starnet that you are about to set up just exist as concepts, or are they already possible, or have they been put into practice?" A reporter pointed at the question sharply. core.

Wu Xiang smiled and said: "This reporter friend asked a good question. In fact, the Xingwang server platform has been realized. After many tests, some minor bugs have been solved and it can run stably. The current capacity is limited, we will temporarily accept hosting services from no more than ten game companies, and only launch services that can accommodate 100,000, 300,000, 500,000, 1 million, and up to 10 million game players online at the same time , Wait until the data center of Xingwang Company in Shenhai City is established, and then continue to expand the server platform."

"As for the Star Catalyst shopping platform, although the main program has not been written yet, there is no problem at all in realizing all the uses mentioned in the concept, even beyond. Here, I guarantee that this Star Catalyst service will be even better than Star Catalyst. The web server platform was launched and operated earlier."

After answering some reporters' questions about Xingwang server game platform company and Xingcatalyst company, Sun Chunsan and Michael also accepted the interview.

They have no lack of praise for Starnet, especially for the server and Star Catalyst, which are about to be established under Starnet and which they have already decided to invest in.

For a server with only one server for a game, Star Catalyst’s sci-fi concept of three-dimensional shopping is very appreciated. They all said that the future server and Star Catalyst concept will be the mainstream of games and shopping models.

They are sincerely satisfied that they can reach an agreement with Xingwang Company at this moment and take a stake in these two subsidiaries.

They don't think it's a big loss to invest 200 million US dollars and get 15% and 10% of the original equity of the two subsidiaries respectively, but they think that the market value of the two subsidiaries will be ten times or a hundred times in the future improvement.

They still have a vision for this, and they have great confidence in the future of Xingwang Company.

In the end, Sun Chunsan and Michael both expressed their regret that they could not take a stake in the mothership of Xingwang Company.
