After discussing with Bill Gates about Gbox, Microsoft sent a team to evaluate Aiwa's assets, and Feng Yu returned to San Francisco.
But this time, Feng Yu is not here to look for Sergey and the rest. He is here to meet a Chinese man, Jiansen Huang.
Santa Clara, a small city in the San Francisco Bay Area, is part of Silicon Valley.
This is a small company in this city, and its office is not far from Google. But today, many people noticed Jiansen's arrival.
"Mr. Feng, it's nice to meet you." Jiansen Huang said in Chinese. But his Chinese is a little weird. He is a Taiwanese and immigrated to the US before he was 10 years old. Luckily, he did not forget his mother tongue.
"Nice to meet you too. Who are these two?" Feng Yu looks at the two Caucasians beside Jiansen Huang.
"This is Chris, and this is Cadiz. They are my partners."
"Oh, nice to meet you." Feng Yu smiled and shook hands with them. They are all talents, and he still needs them to make money for him in the future. Feng Yu must give them a smile.
These two Caucasians are flattered. The World's Second Richest Man came to their company and even shook hands with them. They had never expected this.
They had worked with other companies in the past, and those companies will only send their third or fourth leaders. No one cares about them.
According to Jiansen Huang, this man is here to tell them a piece of good news.
"Jiansen, the three of you have surprised me. It is not easy to set up such a promising company."
"Our achievements are nothing compared to Mr Feng." Huang Jiansen was not being modest. He was telling the truth. Although he was not yet forty years old, he was a partner and CEO of a company. He could be regarded as a young and promising winner in life. But it depended on who he was compared to.
Compared to Feng Yu, he is nothing.
"Hahaha … let's not talk about this. My assistant has talked to you. How is your discussion with the partners going? "Feng Yu was very happy to chat with people in his native language in a foreign country.
"Mr Feng, your offer is very generous. Of course, we are willing. But we failed to convince those two venture capital companies, and they are urging us to go public. "Huang Jiansen said awkwardly.
They had no choice. Although the three of them had raised a lot of money, the company still needed to grow, so they had sought venture capital twice.
Now, Feng Yu wants to acquire their company and promised to inject a large amount of capital into the company. He will also hand over the company to them to manage and even give them shares as rewards. This is more cost-effective than Venture Capital.
Also, Feng Yu is the director of Microsoft and Lenovo Group. No matter which company they work with, they will have better prospects.
The three partners discussed for a while and felt Feng Yu's offer is good. But when they approached the two venture capital companies, they were rejected.
This is because the two venture capital companies had noticed Feng Yu's investments are very profitable. Since Feng Yu wants to buy this company, it means Feng Yu thinks highly of this company's potential. If the company gets listed, they will get a few times more returns.
If they are like the three founders and accept Feng Yu's investment to dilute the company's shares, they will also not accept it. This is because Feng Yu's company had never been listed. When can they earn back their initial investment?
Feng Yu frowned. It's troublesome for a company to have venture capital. Based on the agreements made by the venture capital companies, there will be a time frame for the company to be listed. This is for them to wait for the company's share prices to rise, and they will also restrict the company from selling its shares.
Of course, these were all VCs trying to protect their own interests. There were also differences between different VCs. No one wanted their investment to go to waste, right?
Feng Yu can understand what these venture capital companies are doing, but it does not mean he will accept it.
"Are those two venture capital companies some big companies?"
"Huh … … No. They are two small venture capital companies. Their assets are less than 100 million USD." Small is compared to Feng Yu's assets. For their companies, these two venture capital companies are considered big.
Feng Yu turned to Ralph, and Ralph immediately understood. "Boss, I will contact them to buy the shares of those two venture capital firms. If necessary, we will acquire those two venture capital firms. Huang, can you give me the names and contact details of those two venture capital companies? "
Feng Yu nodded. Ralph had been with him for a long time, and Ralph knows what he wants without saying a word.
Huang Jiansen and the other two were stunned. This is the World's Second Billionaire? To acquire their companies, Feng Yu even wants to acquire the two venture capital companies that own their shares?
But Huang Jiansen and the other two are overjoyed. This proves Feng Yu's determination to acquire their companies.
If they cannot be acquired by Feng Yu, with Feng Yu's assets, he will surely acquire the graphics processor leader, 3DFX, or Canada's ATI. This way, Feng Yu's investment will suppress their company's development and might even cause their share prices to plunge after they get listed.
"Mr Feng, you will not be disappointed with this investment. With your investment, our company will surely grow faster. Our 3D display chips will surely catch up with and even surpass 3DFX! We will also surpass Canada's ATI! "
Currently, 3DFX is the top graphics processor manufacturer, and ATI is second. The difference between first and second is not big. Huang Jiansen's company can be considered third.
But what about their scale and strength? The number two company, Altair Corporation, had already sold 10 million graphics interface chips. As for their company's display chips, they only had slightly over 1 million. They were on two completely different levels.
"I also believe in you all. If not, I will not be here to discuss this investment. Your company's market value is only 100 million USD now, and you all want to get listed to raise 300 million USD to develop your new product. But 300 million USD is not enough. I will invest 500 million USD, and the company does not need to get listed for the time being. I believe you all will not disappoint me. "
Jiansen Huang and the rest are excited. Previously, it was Feng Yu's assistant who talked to them, and he did not mention the specific amount. But now, Feng Yu is willing to invest 500 million USD. This is enough for them to develop their new product.
Huang Jiansen and the rest are more confident to surpass those two companies. They want to be the future leader of the graphics chip industry! They will live up to Feng Yu's trust and all their employees' hard work.
"Ok. Once Ralph settles those two venture capital companies, the investment will be in place. I still have other matters to attend to. You all can continue with your work. "
Feng Yu turns around and left. Jiansen Huang and the rest sent Feng Yu to the company's entrance.
Feng Yu boarded the car and looked at the signboard. Nvidia!
