Even though the battle on Wall Street was imminent, Chen Yuanming stayed in the country for a few more days to arrange some trivial matters at hand.
The first thing to determine is Blizzard's travel to China. After making a promise to Allen and others, Chen Yuanming immediately arranged for someone to go to Sichuan to implement it, but the answer he got was somewhat unsatisfactory. At this time, although the Giant Panda Conservation Center was established in Sichuan Province, due to the short construction time and the relative lack of funds and personnel, there was no systematic procedure for receiving tourists.
In response to this situation, Chen Yuanming had no good solution. With a stroke of his pen, he donated 500,000 US dollars to Wolong Nature Reserve for free. Blizzard and his party changed from tourists to donors, and the green light was turned on all the way. Wolong even wanted to arrange some special reception activities to welcome the arrival of these American local tyrants, but all those ridiculous plans were rejected by Chen Yuanming one by one, and it was finally determined that they would not be published in the media, newspapers, special receptions, and self-guided arrangements. The purpose of the itinerary is to restore this tour to its essence: to promote Chinese culture.
Although the current Blizzard is just a little-known new company, in the next two decades, with the popularization of the computer industry, he and a group of other American game industries will become the main force of a new round of cultural offensive. For example, the expansion of animation and comics industries started in Japan after World War II, or the promotion and popularization of film, television and music began after the economic take-off of South Korea. In today's global village, the impact of the cultural offensive on ordinary people far exceeds the economic benefits of dozens of factories. Chen Yuanming doesn't mind starting from now if he can carry out cultural baptism for some companies within the radiation range. At the same time, he also arranged two video-disc agency companies under Feiyan to translate some classic martial arts and kung fu films into English.
Today, Changchun Film Studio and Shanghai Film Studio have not completely declined. Although the ten years of turmoil and long-term blockade have exhausted the artistic careers of a group of excellent translation directors and dubbing actors, they are also in the two factories. The transmission of the firepower caused a serious generational break, but the introduction of the blockbuster system that was reopened in 1994, and Feiyan's efforts in the introduction of video discs in the past two years, undoubtedly opened up a new way for them to make money, and they are no longer pitiful. of relying on the "internal reference films" serving leading officials to make a living.
Therefore, Changchun Factory and Shanghai Translation Co., Ltd. responded to Feiyan's request at a high level. All those who participated in the translation were top talents in the factory, and they also kept improving in the setting of subtitles. This batch of films will enter the US market through the distribution channel of Eagle's Nest Entertainment when the DVD player is officially sold. We will not remember the revenue, but this kind of promotion will undoubtedly give the domestic film market a shot in the arm.
Although there is no economic hard power, there is no way to talk about the soft power of culture, but it is still helpful to enter the vision of the American people one step ahead and occupy a corner in the cultural or entertainment circles. It's just that there is a lack of government support, and this kind of behavior can only be regarded as a panic with money. It is estimated that except for a real rich man like Chen Yuanming, few people can maintain it.
While arranging these, the expansion of the software company, which is a subsidiary industry of the game company, has also become the goal of Touchstone in the near future. In the real electronic industry chain, there is such a near-perfect rule: the user's demand for operation drives the hardware upgrade, and the software will evolve after the hardware upgrade. The terminal industry will then produce higher-level products, and users will further upgrade the hardware for entertainment needs...
Just like a real food chain, what promotes the development of software and hardware is not just the interaction between the two, but also from those playback terminals, those irresistible visual effects and operating experience. Therefore, if he wants to create a perfect electronic industry chain, he cannot only focus on hardware or software. The film, animation, and game industries are also the top priorities.
I remember that in his last life, he had watched the Hollywood blockbuster "Transformers" in the cinema. The simple and rough animated characters in his childhood memory became a real existence who could act on the same stage with real people. When the big brother Optimus Prime appeared on the screen At that moment, there was prolonged applause in the cinema. This strong sense of cultural identity is not only a victory for Hasbro's business practices, but also for Hollywood visual effects, and a great victory for the entire Silicon Valley electronics industry.
If possible, he sincerely hopes that those young people who go to Zhongguancun to buy memory, build motherboards, and choose graphics cards are not just to play American games and watch Hollywood blockbusters.
It's just that in this era, the cost of establishing an animation or game industry is not low at all. There is not even a specialized college in China to guide and nurture those future Blizzard or ILM talents, so what Chen Yuanming needs now is to ignite those sparks, take a route similar to Interplay, and start from software companies to build games Studios, set up training courses or directly bring talents to the United States for internships, and even develop the foundry industry, so that this new thing can take root in China.
And he is most optimistic about the Kingsoft software company, and Taiwan Daewoo consulting. The former's achievements in office software WPS and anti-virus software are of course needless to say, while the latter's Legend of Sword and Fairy and Monopoly series have also greatly influenced a generation. The role played is enough. As for other younger seeds, perhaps American-style angel investment is not suitable for their development. How to solve the "difficulty in starting a business" with Chinese characteristics is the key.
Compared with the difficulty of raising venture capital, the threshold of business management and administrative approval may be the root cause that really discourages academics. In China, building a technology company may be more difficult than maintaining it. In just a few months since the establishment of the Golden Stone, they have heard the appeals in this regard countless times. Difficulty may be the most intuitive problem faced by Dianjinshi, and if this problem is solved, perhaps China's venture capital industry will embark on a completely different path.
At this time, there are still up to 4 years before the opening of Shenzhen GEM. Before the introduction of the real official venture capital system, perhaps Dianjinshi is the only venture capital company with Chinese blood. Chen Yuanming is not afraid of spending money, or even wasting money, but fighting against time and rules requires more than just mere money.
After roughly planning these bits and pieces at hand, without saying hello to others, Chen Yuanming set foot on the flight to the United States again.
Sun Guoqiang arrived at Yuanyang's headquarters in Manhattan earlier than Chen Yuanming. Here, the operation of copper futures has kicked off. Following the Tiger Fund and the Quantum Fund, Yuanyang Fund became the first pioneer to enter the London Metal Exchange. As tens of billions of dollars poured into the copper futures market, the rising copper price was immediately hit head-on and fell severely. descending channel. Futures are not like stocks. Almost every day, every hour, prices move and dance. Any omission can have unpredictable and catastrophic consequences. London prices in turn drive prices in other futures markets. New York Mercantile Exchange Therefore, the price curve of the Tokyo Commodity Exchange, and even the Shanghai Futures Exchange began to fluctuate.
Now Sun Guoqiang can be regarded as someone who has seen the market. He has also seen the horrific scene of aluminum futures plummeting by more than 300 US dollars in just two months, and even captured as much as 200% of the profits from it. But a large-scale operation like copper futures, not to mention domestic, is very rare even in the international market. The relationship between Guoxing and Yuanyang has reached an unprecedented closeness, and even he himself could not help running to Yuanyang to sit on the scene.
However, unlike Sun Guoqiang's nervous attitude, Chen Yuanming completely entered the Wall Street social circle during his return to the United States. The communication with Mr. Robertson has become increasingly close, and he has participated in the receptions and golf friendly matches organized by the upper management of Goldman Sachs or Morgan Stanley, and the partners of Sequoia Capital and KPCB have even become his guests. After getting rid of the initial predicament, Yuanyang Fund finally entered the period of capital expansion. Participating in the copper trading is the beginning of his real entry into this Vanity Fair.
In the venture capital and banking world in the United States, what everyone looks at is not how huge assets you have, but how to use these assets to achieve an annual rate of return of more than 50%. The excellent performance of Yuanyang Fund in the recent period has already cleared the initial hurdle for Chen Yuanming. At the same time, the unspoken rules in the venture capital circle also mean that he must do his best to integrate into the core of Wall Street. It is not the Silicon Valley giants who truly master the west coast of gold, but Manhattan on the east coast. What made Nasdaq’s stock price really take off was also the result of the joint efforts of several major venture capital firms and investment banks.
Now the Golden Stone has begun to cross the angel investment and enter the field of VC, and the future Yuanyang Fund will also become the focus of the field of VC and PE. Therefore, it is also a top priority to establish a good relationship with these Wall Street giants in advance and recommend their excellent seed companies to them. Sequoia Capital and KPCB have also shown full sincerity to the emerging small company of Touchstone. In the past year, they have found that many companies worthy of attention have more or less participation by Touchstone during the seed incubation period. . Unlike the outsiders in Silicon Valley and Wall Street, they know exactly how much potential these seed companies will have.
And the best part is that, within the current scope, there is little conflict between Dianjinshi and their late-stage venture capital firms, so mutual support and referrals are logical. In this unspoken tacit understanding in the venture capital circle, investment banks such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, which are responsible for the listing of Nasdaq stocks, also began to establish a preliminary friendship with Chen Yuanming.
And as Chen Yuanming stepped into the center of Wall Street step by step, those wealthy Chinese immigrants of the second and third generations also began to show up. Through the introduction of the branch of the Liu family in the United States, Yuanyang Fund began to contact these upper-level Chinese, absorb the funds in their hands, and become a new fund agent. While obtaining benefits, Chen Yuanming also obtained incalculable political capital. It must be known that these Chinese people still retain some domestic blood. Under the interaction of money and power, more complicated benefits have been derived. The internet.
On the copper futures board involving hundreds of millions of funds, Chen Yuanming may not have much hands-on operations, but in the development of the entire Yuanyang, he can be said to be exhausted. Time passed like running water, and March was almost over in a blink of an eye. In the last few days at the end of the month, an email from China was placed on the desk.
The letter is very simple. It is a unique style of greeting card. Half of it is decorated with beautiful spring greetings and primroses, and the other half is written with a line of pen.
When spring arrives in Xishan, I will give you the fragrance. Happy birthday.
Xiao Junyi
Red, yellow, and purple, the flowers and leaves are stretched, and there is a faint fragrance, as if they were just taken from the branches. Snow-white pieces of paper, blue ink characters, and just one line, brought the spring of the mountain range and the blessings that were half a world away.
There were also people who gave him birthdays, greetings on the phone, face-to-face intimacy, and expensive gifts with special colors. But no one has ever given him anything like it, such a tiny gift that it's barely worth mentioning...
Chen Yuanming took this card and read it over and over for a long time, and finally clipped it in the black leather notebook, and locked it in the depths of the cabinet.
