As a Gemini star in the venture capital industry, Sequoia Investment in the past few years, due to KPB's investment strategy mistakes, Sequoia Investment has surpassed KPB venture capital in the Internet and technology industries, but now with the success of KPB's overseas strategy.
Especially in the domestic market, due to the cooperation with Chuke Technology, KPB has shined in China and its revenue has also begun to rise sharply. With the launch of Oriental.com, KPB is making KPB a hit in China for a while. KPB venture capital is becoming the first choice partner of countless domestic technology companies!
This time, Sequoia Investment established its headquarters in China, so it naturally wanted to get a venture capital project from Chuke Technology, as a good start.
Although Oriental Net is listed, there are many projects in Chuke Technology, such as Daewoo Games, Meituan Financing, Autohome’s Future Listing, and Facebook’s Listing, these are all major projects in the investment industry. Mark Kwam has been eyeing these projects for a long time.
Chen Chu glanced at Mark Kwam. Chen Chu naturally understood that this was exchanged for Sequoia Investment in exchange for LinkedIn's equity, allowing RenTech to obtain the identity of LinkedIn's major shareholder, and Chuke Technology's investment in the future will be open to Sequoia Investment.
Nodding, Chen Chu said directly, "I understand what Director Mark Kwam means. Daewoo Games' listing can allow Sequoia Investment to participate!"
Mark Kwam did not expect that Chen Chu would agree directly. This was beyond his expectations. Investing in Daewoo's listing was enough to be a good start for Sequoia's domestic headquarters.
However, Mark Kwam then curled his smile and frowned. He has been immersed in the investment industry for more than ten years and has never seen any storms. Mark Kwam understands that things that are too easy to get are the least easy to get!
"Chen, is there anything else?" Mark Kwam asked Chen Chu. He felt that Chen Chu invited him to Yanjing this time, not to let him participate in a project, but to give him a favor.
Smith, who was sitting behind Chen Chu, also raised his ears. This time, Chen Chu asked him to come here. In addition to bringing Mark Kwam, he also brought a huge amount of cash. Smith didn't know what project Chen Chu was raising, but he also knew it was definitely a big move.
When Chen Chu heard Mark Kwam's words, he saw his vigilant expression. Chen Chu picked up the boiling tea that had been boiled, poured a cup of tea, and glanced at Smith. Smith immediately put down the red wine in his hand and took the tea from Chen Chu's hand.
There are not many opportunities to drink Chen Chu's own tea. Not many people in Chuke's technology have ever had such an opportunity. I heard that the old guy Larry Songsini, who doesn't like him all day, personally poured him a glass of wine. Others don't have such treatment.
"This time I invite Director Mark Kwam to come here. I really want to talk to Sequoia Investment. I believe this is beneficial to Chuke Technology and Sequoia Investment!" Chen Chu said to Mark Kwam.
Mark Kwam quickly passed the possible talks between the two sides in his mind, but he didn't expect anything. Chuke Technology's business scope does not interfere with Sequoia Investment. The only LinkedIn has been bought by Renren Technology.
However, Mark Kwam said calmly, "Please say, I believe that there are many opportunities for cooperation between Sequoia Investment and Chuke Technology. I don't know what Chen, what do you want to say?"
"Sina!"
After taking a sip of tea, Chen Chu said directly to Mark Kwam. Smith's hand holding the teacup shook and almost fell down. He now understood what Chen Chu was going to do. The Shanda M&A acquisition of Sina is quite popular in North America. This is the first time that there are two listed companies in Nasdaq in China to acquire two Nasdaq. Although this is nothing compared to Wall Street, it is still a beginning, representing that the domestic market has begun to mature!
Mark Kwam was shocked. He did not expect that this matter would involve Chu Ke Technology. He thought for a while. He didn't know what Chu Ke Technology meant, whether he wanted to help, or to steal love. No matter which choice, it would have a decisive impact on the big drama of Shanda's robbery Sina.
Think about the various possibilities of Chuke Technology entering the market. No matter how Chuke Technology is chosen, Sequoia Investment can wait for a price, and even the competition is more intense, so that their investment banks will have greater returns.
Just like Shanda's acquisition of Sina, the reason why their investment banks turned against each other was actually to sell Sina at a good price in order to wait for the price. Shanda's sudden acquisition of Sina was not a big profit for them, and it may also make Shanda and Sina out of their investment banks' control. In this case, Sequoia, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, and SoftBank naturally had a tacit understanding, and at the same time began to pull back and prevent Shanda from succeeding.
After the deadlock, Sequoia invested in several major investment banks, and all they wanted was to wait for the price, let giants such as Yahoo buy Sina at a high price, and they could also sell at a good price.
Now that I haven't caught Yahoo, Chuke Technology has entered the market. For Sequoia Investment, this is an unexpected situation, but it is definitely not a bad thing!
Mark Kwam looked at Chen Chu, laughed, and said tentatively, "Chen, why did you suddenly mention this? Maybe Shanda's decision to acquire Sina is a bit too hasty!"
Chen Chu was not too surprised by Mark Kwam's test. Since Chu Ke Technology decided to enter, he naturally didn't care about any tests.
"Chuke Technology has decided to form a joint acquirer with Shanda to jointly acquire Sina. I think Director Mark Kwam and Sequoia Investment will definitely support Chuke Technology's decision!" Chen Chu looked at Mark Kwam.
The smile on Mark Kwam's face disappeared and his face began to become serious. He did not expect that Shanda would actually attract Chu Ke Technology, instead of Chu Ke Technology found by Sina as a helper. He didn't know what was wrong in the middle, but now it was obviously at the point where Sequoia Investment needed to choose.
"Chen, you really decided to acquire Sina with Shanda?" Mark Kwam asked Chen Chu again, his tone seemed serious this time. He needed to evaluate the impact of this matter on Sequoia investment. Facing Shanda and Chuke technology, it is not the same concept!
"This is a decision made by the board of directors of Chuke Technology. Acquisition of Sina will allow Chuke Technology's Oriental Network to develop better in the portal industry!" Chen Chu said directly.
Mark Kwam's mouth twitched. If Chuke Technology dominated two stops, it would be equivalent to Chuke Technology occupying half of the domestic Internet public opinion.
If Sina is jointly acquired, Chuke Technology will get much greater than Shanda. Mark Kwam feels that Chuke Technology's influence and status in China will probably reach a terrifying level, and will instantly take an Internet giant into the bag. This will make the entire domestic Internet industry feel that Chuke Technology is difficult to fight. Those technology companies that have joined forces to fight Chuke Technology may collapse!
"I have Sequoia Investment, of course I support Chuke Technology's decision. Chuke Technology and Shanda Joint, Sequoia Investment is also willing to support the joint acquirer. However, more than one company has acquired Sina, and other companies are also very interested in Sina!"
Knowing that Chuke Technology and Shanda United have completely fallen, but Mark Kwam still wants to wait for a price and sell Sina equity in Sequoia Investment at a high price, so he wants to join other giants and put some pressure on Chuke Technology.
Listening to Mark Kwam's words, Chen Chu looked at him with a strange look, "What Chuke Technology needs is not this kind of support, but Sina equity in Sequoia Investment!"
"Are those companies that Director Mark Kwam mentioned, Yahoo, NetEase and other companies?"
Seeing the look on Chen Chu's face, Mark Kwam felt a vague feeling. He felt that something was wrong, and he felt that something had gone away from his imagination, but he didn't know what it was.
Although it is a cover, Yahoo has indeed revealed that she is interested in Sina before. As for NetEase, she is purely a part-time person. With the stingy personality of a large pig farmer, it is okay to pick up a gap. If he spends real money to compete with Chuke's technology, there is no need to think about it. In fact, the key is still to look at what Yahoo means.
Chen Chu stood up and signaled Smith to turn on the LCD screen. Then the screen appeared on the screen. A large group of reporters appeared on the LCD screen. This is a news reprinted by Oriental Network from the radio media of North American partner Viacom. Every day, Viacom's radio media will provide Oriental Network with some important news content in North America. For this reason, Oriental Network pays Viacom a media authorization fee of 36 million US dollars every month.
Mark Kwam looked at the LCD screen with a little puzzled understanding, not knowing what Chen Chu was going to do. When he saw so many reporters from the LCD media pouring into Microsoft headquarters, Mark Kwam's uneasy mood became even stronger.
Then I saw a CBS reporter appearing on the screen. Oriental Network broadcast the scene live today, and said to the female reporter facing the camera BS, "Just two hours ago, the Microsoft News Media Officer announced that there will be major news release!"
At this moment, I saw a group of Microsoft executives appear in front of the media, including Bill Gates, who just resigned as Microsoft president this year, the new president Ballmer, and Paul Allen, who actually came here. As for the major Microsoft directors, they were all here at the same time today. What surprised Mark Kwam the most was that he also met several other people, Seattle consortium representative Chris Hanson, and Morgan president David Mark.
In addition, a person in the crowd also made Mark Kwam look at Chen Chu. That person was Larry Songsini, one of the representative figures of Chuko technology in North America.
Then he saw Ballmer walking onto the stage, in front of countless reporters, when he heard the saying "Microsoft will join hands with Chuke Technology and other partners to jointly offer to acquire Yahoo for a bid", Mark Kwam couldn't help but stand up, and Smith Jr. was already stunned...
