It was already evening when he returned to the hotel from Stanford. After Mu Chenhao immediately communicated with Eric and others, in the evening of the same day, Genesis Network officially announced that it had received US$20 million in financing from Sequoia Capital. As soon as the news broke, It completely detonated Silicon Valley and detonated Wall Street.
Many reporters flocked to interview the three founders of Genesis Network. Eric and the other three people have also become America's hottest technological upstarts.
Of course, more reporters want to interview Mu Chenhao, but Mu Chenhao no longer needs more exposure. As an entrepreneur and an investor, hiding yourself behind the scenes at the right time is the smartest thing to do.
Therefore, he only accepted interviews with the two largest media outlets in the United States. After all, it is still necessary to deal well with the media. Moreover, Mu Chenhao and Xia Qingkong will return to China soon, and they will not cause any trouble at that time. Thinking of this, Mu Chenhao felt a little relieved. The next itinerary has been arranged. Mu Chenhao will first attend the Global Economic Forum meeting in the United States. If he wants to go international, he needs to observe it from an outsider's perspective. This forum will be held at the end of the month. After participating, he will prepare to join Xia Qingkong
Set off to return home.
Genesis Network, which received a US$20 million investment from Sequoia Capital, immediately expanded rapidly. Edward did indeed keep his promise. He not only hired Qualcomm's CFO George with a high salary, but also helped Genesis Network establish its own Marketing team.
The technical team of Genesis Network also welcomed two technical experts, Pedro and Jeff, to join, and then recruited more than a dozen employees and divided them into different working groups.
Today's Chuangshi Network has long since gotten rid of the Caotai team situation and has begun to move closer to a regular IT Internet company.
However, Mu Chenhao was still a little uneasy without his own people, so he immediately contacted the think tank and dispatched Chen Kunpeng, a senior vice president from Mu Group, to contact Eric as an investor.
Mu Chenhao originally wanted to let Chen Kunpeng settle in directly, but he was afraid that he would not be able to see the real side, so he decided to invest his own money and let Chen Kunpeng invest and settle in. This way, the effect would be better.
After receiving Chen Kunpeng's investment, Eric immediately brought Chen Kunpeng to the board of directors of Chuangshi Network, and he also obtained a seat as an independent director.
Mu Chenhao told Chen Kunpeng to speak less and listen more, and not to express any opinions on the company's operations, but he must tell himself any financing information immediately.
Shopping malls are like battlefields. Mu Chenhao will not always hold shares in Chuangshi Network, but the timing of selling is very important. Chen Pengkun's task is to help Mu Chenhao seize this best opportunity to withdraw.
These days, there is still some time before the Global Economic Forum, so Mu Chenhao also has a rare moment of relaxation with Xia Qingkong.
Naturally, the two of them would not let her go, so Mu Chenhao took Xia Qingkong to visit many beautiful scenery in the United States. The relationship between the two of them was also constantly warming up, and it did not weaken at all because of marriage.
On this day, Mu Chenhao took out his computer and connected to the Internet. An email automatically popped up on the email client, "Mr. Mu, this is Liu Yuming. Are you interested in chatting?"
Mu Chenhao couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw this email. Liu Yuming was the founder of American International Data Group. He started with US$5,000 and later founded the famous group. Because he is Chinese, he was also the first venture capital investor to enter China. mechanism.
Mu Chenhao thought about it carefully, and then replied an email to Liu Yuming, agreeing to meet him. Mu Chenhao also wanted to see what Liu Yuming, known as the "Uncrowned King" in the financial world, wanted to do with him at this time.
Liu Yuming just flew from New York to San Francisco these days and met with several emerging Internet technology entrepreneurs. Although he is nearly sixty years old, he still maintains a lot of energy.
Although his group is already one of the largest venture capital institutions with more than a thousand employees, he still maintains the habit of meeting at least two to three entrepreneurs a week to maintain his acumen for the market.
In the previous financing battle of Chuangshi Network, Liu Yuming also made a tentative bid to Chuangshi Network. But later Sequoia Capital's $20 million financing plan also surprised Liu Yuming, and he also began to investigate the hidden story behind the matter.
When all the evidence vaguely pointed to Mu Chenhao, Liu Yuming also became very interested in Mu Chenhao.
When he invested in China's projects before, he had already heard that Mu Chenhao had a high financial talent. This time, he chose a small cafe next to Stanford to meet Mu Chenhao.
Mu Chenhao arrived 5 minutes earlier than the agreed time. Unexpectedly, Liu Yuming was already waiting inside, and there was a tall Chinese man sitting next to him.
Liu Yuming had a typical Chinese face with black hair and yellow skin. As soon as he saw Mu Chenhao, he enthusiastically extended his hand.
"Mr. Mu, it's a pleasure to meet you. Let me introduce to you. This is Zhang Yao, my partner in China." Liu Yuming introduced the Chinese man next to him.
Zhang Yao smiled and stretched out his hand and said in Chinese, "Hello, Mr. Mu, I am Zhang Yao. After all, we are still fellow villagers!"
As a senior in the business world, Mu Chenhao certainly knew Zhang Yao. He did not expect that Zhang Yao would also come, so he hurriedly said, "Hello Mr. Zhang, I didn't expect to meet a fellow countryman here!"
After a brief exchange of greetings, Liu Yuming said straight to the point, "Mr. Mu, it's not easy to achieve such an achievement at such a young age! You are also very successful in the United States. Are you ready to return to China?"
Mu Chenhao nodded, "Of course, I will return to China at the end of the month. The group still has many things to deal with. The main purpose of coming to the United States this time is to raise funds for Chuangshi Network."
Liu Yuming asked with some confusion, "There seem to be more opportunities in the United States now, and you already have a good foundation. Staying here seems to be a good choice!"
Mu Chenhao smiled, "Mr. Liu, my children and relatives are all in China, and I have a business like Mu Group in China. More importantly, China will be the center of the world market in the future. I think Liu Mister, you might as well join me and look back." Liu Yuming slapped his thigh, "I totally agree! In fact, I think so too, I think Mr. Mu might as well join our group and become a group. One of the partners in China, what do you think?"
