As a Mage, I Only Want to Pursue Truth

A mage accidentally drifts to Blue Star. The intelligent life on Blue Star cannot influence reality by manipulating dark matter, thus the mage loses their casting ability.

In order to recover...

Chapter 307 Half of the Country

Anyone else in this situation would find it difficult to maintain their integrity in the face of such praise from powerful figures.

Forget about the praise from the big shots, just getting first place in the class and being flattered by classmates will make you feel elated for days.

However, artificial intelligence does not possess human emotions.

Zheng Li's self-developed artificial intelligence is at best bordering on intermediate-level artificial intelligence, and is still a long way from possessing human emotions.

Therefore, Zheng Li, who was managed by artificial intelligence, responded politely and distantly to the big shots' praise.

"I heard about Zheng Li quite late in our group."

I didn't hear about Zheng Li until brain-computer interface with mobile phones came out.

When I saw that brain-computer interface technology had actually been implemented, I initially thought it was America's technology.

I was amazed at how advanced America's brain-computer interface technology had become. Are there any companies in our country working on similar technologies?

If possible, I'd also like to have Yunfeng Capital invest in it.

It turned out that this technology was developed by a Chinese company.

Indeed, heroes emerge from among the young.

Later, I gave the head of Yunfeng Capital a piece of my mind: "Why didn't we participate in such a good company's Series B funding round?"

Yunfeng Capital is an angel investment firm under Ma Yun.

Once these internet companies reach a certain scale, they will all get involved in the financial industry.

This includes not only equity investments, but also bonds.

Therefore, the internet entrepreneurs present also have the identity of investors.

It's just a matter of doing it well or poorly.

Tencent's investment department has received a lot of attention in the industry because of its excellent performance.

Since 2019, Yunfeng Capital has invested in many companies in the biopharmaceutical field.

Back then, Cheng Gang invested in Abogen Biosciences and Stemirna Therapeutics, and one of the two lead investors was Yunfeng Capital.

After Ma Yun finished speaking, Zheng Li laughed and said, "Back then, Kechuang Bio was still an unknown in the industry."

It's normal that they don't know us.

Zhang Lei chimed in, "Not to mention you guys, even we missed out on this project back then."

I was on a business trip in New York at the time, and our head of investments in the biopharmaceutical industry was in Japan.

During the Series A financing of Kechuang Biotechnology, the entire process involved blind bidding.

At that time, we sent a deputy, but he didn't have enough authority.

Zheng Li presented clinical data on the role of endorphins in treating addiction.

This means that the actual value of scientific and technological innovation-based biotechnology needs to be raised to at least another level.

The deputy had no say in the matter; he contacted us over the phone to discuss how to estimate the value of the asset.

The timeframe was too short, causing us to miss out on this project.

I was furious when I returned to China; we had missed out on such a great project.

A biopharmaceutical company possesses a large molecule drug with extremely wide applications.

I deeply regret that the company was valued at less than 3 billion US dollars at the time.

I comforted myself at the time, saying that there would be other opportunities later, and that I would definitely try to lead the Series B funding round.

As a result, that was the only time that Kechuang Bio raised funds from the outside world, and it went public directly afterward.

Currently, the largest holding of many of our funds is Sci-Tech Biotechnology.

Kechuang Bio has surpassed Moutai in my heart.

As long as Zheng Li is still in Kechuang Bio, I will heavily invest in Kechuang Bio.

"Whenever Kechuang Bio needs funds and needs to conduct a private placement, I'll definitely participate!"

Zhang Lei's tone was full of regret.

Compared to not knowing about it, it is obviously more regrettable to have an opportunity right in front of you but watch it slip away.

Shen Nanpeng raised his glass and said, "It's no use regretting missed projects; we need to look forward."

"Zhang Lei, let's have a drink together."

After finishing his drink, he continued, "I would regret missing out on Kechuang Biotechnology just as much."

I wasn't in the country at that time either.

When Kechuang Future was established, I really wanted to invest in the project.

Brain-computer interface VR – just looking at the three companies behind Kechuang Future, I knew it was bound to succeed.

I talked to Pony first, and then I talked to Lei Jun.

Unfortunately, none of them were willing to share anything with me.

Sequoia Capital's investment areas are mainly divided into four categories: biopharmaceuticals, advanced manufacturing, consumer media, and technology.

Basically covering most industries, the companies invested in by Sequoia Capital have one thing in common: they are more in line with the "hard technology" that has been proposed in recent years.

“The people who make the most money here are Pony and Lao Ma.”

Zhang Lei, Young, and I are involved in capital operations, mainly investing in projects.

Old Ma collects taxes; he set up a large supermarket to collect taxes.

Pony uses various means to make money off others.

My wife also bought a unit in the Huanyu-Pengcheng development you guys were working on.

Nearly two million for a house on the Shenzhen Bay, even I feel it's too expensive.

However, after experiencing Huanyu Pengcheng and observing the bustling secondhand housing market, I realized that...

I then realized that some of my ideas were outdated.

Pony and I are about the same age, yet she's at the forefront of the times.

Pony quickly chimed in, "Thank you for your support, sister-in-law."

Neil, if you had told me sooner, I would have sent you a set.

Huanyu Pengcheng was created by my subordinates; I didn't do any work on it.

I definitely couldn't come up with this kind of product; I only think about making games.

I only learned about concepts like NFT from my subordinates.
